NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts of Whitney
Holding  Corporation  and its  subsidiaries  ("the  Company").  All  significant
intercompany  balances and transactions have been eliminated.  Certain financial
information  for prior periods has been  reclassified  to conform to the current
presentation.

     In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is required
to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect the  amounts  reported in the
consolidated  financial  statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.  The consolidated  financial statements reflect all
adjustments  which are,  in the  opinion  of  management,  necessary  for a fair
presentation  of the  financial  condition,  results of  operations,  changes in
shareholders'  equity and cash flows for the interim  periods  presented.  These
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and include  appropriate  estimated
provisions.

     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.  These  financial  statements  should be read in
conjunction with the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 3 - MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

     On August 8, 2000, the Company announced a definitive  agreement to acquire
Prattville Financial Services Corporation  ("PFSC"),  whose principal subsidiary
is  Bank of  Prattville.  Bank  of  Prattville  operates  four  branches  in the
metropolitan area of Montgomery,  Alabama, and has approximately $170 million in
total assets, $142 million in deposits and $22 million of shareholders'  equity.
The Company  will issue  stock with a value of  approximately  $40.5  million in
connection with this tax-free  transaction  and anticipates  accounting for this
transaction  as a pooling of interests.  The  acquisition  is subject to certain
conditions, including approval by PFSC's shareholders and appropriate regulatory
agencies, and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2000.

     On February 18, 2000,  the Company  completed  its  acquisition  of Bank of
Houston for cash of $58 million.  At the  acquisition  date, Bank of Houston had
$180 million in total assets,  including $44 million in loans,  and $162 million
in deposits in two locations in the Houston,  Texas metropolitan area.  Applying
purchase  accounting to this  transaction,  the Company  recorded $44 million in
intangible   assets,   with  $8  million   assigned  to  the  value  of  deposit
relationships  with a nine-year  estimated life and $36 million to goodwill with
an estimated life of twenty years.

     Bank of Houston's operating results since the acquisition date are included
in the Company's financial statements.  The pro forma impact of this acquisition
on the Company's results of operations is insignificant.

NOTE 4 - STOCK-BASED INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS

     The Company  maintains a long-term  incentive  plan for key employees and a
directors'  compensation  plan,  each of which  allows for the awarding of stock
grants,  stock  options and other  stock-based  compensation.  During June 2000,
awards were made under each of these plans as follows:

<TABLE>

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

     The stock  grant  awarded to  employees  is subject  to  forfeiture  if the
recipient's  employment is  terminated  within three years of the grant date and
any  disposition of the shares  received is restricted  during this period.  The
employee  grants  can be  adjusted  based on the  financial  performance  of the
Company in  relation  to that of a  designated  peer group over the  restriction
period.  The ultimate  number of shares awarded can range from 0% to 200% of the
initial grant.  Compensation expense,  initially measured as the market value of
the  restricted  shares  on the  grant  date,  is  recognized  ratably  over the
restriction  period.  Periodic  adjustments  are made to reflect  changes in the
expected performance adjustment and in the market value of the Company's stock.

NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES

     The Company and its subsidiaries  are parties to various legal  proceedings
arising  in the  ordinary  course  of  business.  After  reviewing  pending  and
threatened  actions with legal  counsel,  management  believes that the ultimate
resolution  of these  actions will not have a material  effect on the  Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 7 - ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     The Securities  and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC")  issued Staff  Accounting
Bulletin  ("SAB") 101 in December  1999. SAB 101 presented the SEC staff's views
on and guidance in applying generally accepted accounting  principles to revenue
recognition in financial  statements.  In June 2000, the SEC further delayed the
date when the Company must be in compliance  with this guidance  until  December
31,  2000.  The Company has  determined  that its existing  revenue  recognition
practices comply in all material respects with the guidance in SAB 101.

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

     The purpose of this  discussion  and  analysis  is to focus on  significant
changes in the financial condition of Whitney Holding Corporation ("the Company"
or "Whitney") and its subsidiaries and on their results of operations during the
second  quarters of 2000 and 1999 and during the six month periods  through June
30 in each year. The operations of the Company's principal subsidiaries, Whitney
National Bank and Bank of Houston ("the Banks"), constitute virtually all of the
Company's consolidated  operations.  This discussion and analysis highlights and
supplements  information  contained  elsewhere in this Quarterly  Report on Form
10-Q,  particularly the preceding consolidated  financial statements,  notes and
selected  financial  data.  This  discussion  and  analysis  should  be  read in
conjunction with the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     Certain  financial  information for prior periods has been  reclassified to
conform to the current presentation.

OVERVIEW

     Whitney earned $.74 per share in the second quarter of 2000, a 14% increase
over the $.65 per share  reported for the second  quarter of 1999. Net income of
$16.6  million in 2000's  second  quarter was 10% higher  than the  year-earlier
quarter's  total of $15.1  million.  Return on average  assets was 1.16% for the
second quarter of 2000, and return on average  shareholders'  equity was 11.72%.
For  the  second  quarter  of  1999,   these  returns  were  1.16%  and  10.74%,
respectively.

     Excluding the after-tax effect of the amortization of purchased intangibles
acquired with the Bank of Houston in February 2000 and in previous transactions,
Whitney  earned $.79 per share in the second  quarter of 2000,  compared to $.68
per  share in 1999's  second  quarter.  Bank of  Houston's  earnings,  which are
included in Whitney's  results since the purchase date, were not significant for
purposes of  presenting  pro forma  financial  information  with respect to this
acquisition.

     The following key items impacted the current quarter's results:

o        Net  interest  income (TE)  increased  11%, or $6.5  million,  from the
         second  quarter of 1999,  with Bank of Houston  contributing  3% to the
         overall  increase.  Loan  growth  was again the major  factor.  For the
         second  quarter  of 2000,  loans  represented  73% of  average  earning
         assets, up from 69% in 1999's second quarter.  Active management of the
         cost of funds  during a period  of  rising  rates  and a stable  mix of
         interest-bearing  and   non-interest-bearing   funding  sources  helped
         maintain  the net  interest  margin at a healthy  4.81% for the  second
         quarter of 2000, compared with 4.77% for the year-earlier quarter.

o        Non-interest  income  was 8%,  or $1.4  million,  higher  than the same
         quarter  in  1999.   Excluding  Bank  of  Houston,  the  year-over-year
         percentage  increase  was 5%. Fees from credit and debit card  activity
         increased  17% from the second  quarter of 1999 on continued  growth in
         transaction volumes. Brokerage activity at Whitney Securities helped to
         almost double  investment  service  income from 1999's second  quarter.
         Trust  service  fees were up 7% over the second  quarter  of 1999,  and
         income from  service  charges on deposit  accounts  was up 2% year over
         year.  There were no significant  gains on sales of banking  properties
         and pre-1933 assets during either of these periods.

o        Aside from the impact of the Bank of Houston acquisition,  non-interest
         expense increased moderately in the second quarter of 2000,  reflecting
         a continued emphasis on expense-control efforts. Compared to the second
         quarter of 1999,  non-interest expense,  excluding Bank of Houston, was
         up $1.7  million,  or 4%.  The  second  quarter  total  was  only  $351
         thousand, or less than 1%, higher than the first quarter of 2000, again
         excluding Bank of Houston operations.

o        Whitney provided $2.5 million for  possible  loan  losses in the second
         quarter of 2000, the same as in the first  quarter  of the  year.  This
         compares  to  a  $1.25 million provision in 1999's second quarter. Loan
         growth  and  an  increase  in  non-performing  assets  to  a level more
         consistent with  peer  institutions  have both been  important  factors
         behind  higher  loss provisions  in  2000.  Non-performing  assets were
         $24.8 million at June 30, 2000, or .62% of loans plus foreclosed assets
         and surplus bank  property, down from $27.3  million,  or .72% at March
         31,  2000,  but still above the total of $12.7 million, or .38%, at the
         end of 1999's second quarter.  Net charge-offs totaled $693 thousand in
         the  second  quarter  of  2000, almost  the  same  as  the year-earlier
         quarter. The reserve for possible loan losses was 1.27%  of total loans
         at June 30, 2000 and 1.23% and June 30, 1999.

     As  discussed  in  note 3 to the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the
Company recently announced an agreement to acquire Prattville Financial Services
Corporation, whose principal subsidiary is Bank of Prattville with approximately
$170 million in total assets. This stock-for-stock acquisition,  which is valued
at  approximately  $40.5  million,  will  expand the  Company's  presence in the
growing market area of metropolitan Montgomery, Alabama. The Company anticipates
accounting for this transaction as a pooling of interests.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Certain   statements   in  this   quarterly   report  may  be  regarded  as
forward-looking   statements  within  the  meaning  of  the  Private  Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These  forward-looking  statements,  made in good
faith by the  Company,  are based on a number of  assumptions  about the future.
Some of the more important assumptions are outlined in the Company's 1999 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.  Because it is  uncertain  whether  future  conditions  and
events  will  confirm  the  Company's  assumptions,  there  is a risk  that  the
Company's  future  results  will  differ  materially  from  what is stated in or
implied by such forward-looking  statements.  The Company cautions the reader to
consider this risk.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LOANS AND RESERVE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

     Average  loans for the second  quarter of 2000 were $3.86  billion,  a $575
million,  or 17%,  increase  compared to $3.29 billion in the second  quarter of
1999 and a $148  million,  or 4%,  increase from 2000's first  quarter.  Bank of
Houston contributed approximately $45 million to the year-over-year increase and
$24 million to the increase over the first quarter of 2000.

     Average loan growth continues to be broad-based,  with the most significant
increases in commercial  lending of all types.  Commercial  real estate lending,
which  includes  loans  secured by  properties  used in commercial or industrial
operations,  supplied  approximately  $53 million of the increase over the first
quarter of 2000, as this portfolio  category grew 4% on average.  Growth in this
category  in recent  years has come from a variety of sources,  including  hotel
construction in the New Orleans area, apartment and condominium projects largely
in the eastern  Gulf Coast  region,  and  retail,  small  office and  commercial
facilities  throughout the Company's market area. There was no significant shift
in the  concentration  mix of this portfolio  from year-end  1999,  although the
regional distribution continued to show increasing balance.

     Commercial  loans  other than  those  secured  by real  property  increased
approximately $31 million,  or 2%, on average over 2000's first quarter. As with
commercial real estate loans, the  concentration  mix of this portfolio has been
relatively stable since year-end 1999.

     Average retail loans,  including both retail mortgage loans and other loans
to individuals,  increased  approximately $64 million, or 6%, from first quarter
2000. Retail mortgage lending  contributed $54 million of this increase.  Growth
came   primarily   from  the  Company's   home  equity  loan  product  and  from
adjustable-rate  mortgage  loans that the Company  holds in its loan  portfolio.
Adjustable  mortgage loan  originations  have increased in the current year with
rising market rates and attractive  product design.  The initial rate adjustment
on most of these new loans occurs after seven years.

     Table 1 shows  loan  balances  at June 30,  2000 and at the end of the four
prior quarters. The period-end changes are consistent with the growth in average
loans.  The decline in the  commercial  category from year-end 1999 to March 31,
2000 is related to seasonal factors.

     Each loan carries a degree of credit risk.  Management's evaluation of this
risk is ultimately  reflected in the Company's financial  statements by the size
of the reserve for possible loan losses,  and changes in this ongoing evaluation
over time are reflected in the  provision  for possible  loan losses  charged to
operating expense.  Table 2 compares second quarter 2000 activity in the reserve
for  possible  loan losses with 2000's first  quarter and the second  quarter of
1999 and also compares six-month activity for each year.

     Table 3 shows total non-performing loans at June 30, 2000 and at the end of
the preceding four  quarters.  Although the total  decreased $2 million,  or 9%,
from March 31, 2000,  non-performing  loans are $8 million,  or 55%, higher than
year-end  1999.  The $11 million  increase in the first quarter of 2000 resulted
from the placement of a substantial  portion of a commercial credit relationship
on  non-accrual  status  because of negative  earnings  trends,  even though the
credit was performing.

</TABLE>

     At June 30, 2000, the total of loans internally  classified as having above
normal  credit  risk  represented  approximately  6% of  total  loans,  up  from
approximately  5% at the end of the two  previous  quarters.  The June 30,  2000
total of $225  million is $27 million  above the total at March 31,  2000.  This
increase was mainly from two unrelated  loans that were classified as warranting
special  attention  because  of risk  characteristics  that  indicate  potential
weaknesses.  This  classification  category is up $25 million to a total of $103
million at quarter end.  Loans for which full  repayment  is doubtful  decreased
slightly to $18 million at June 30, 2000, after having increased in 2000's first
quarter consistent with the increase in non-accrual loans mentioned above. Loans
classified  as having  well-defined  weaknesses  that, if not  corrected,  would
likely result in some loss were also  relatively  stable,  increasing $3 million
from the end of the previous quarter, to $104 million.  The recent growth in the
total of loans  that have been  internally  identified  as having  above  normal
credit risk was an important  factor in the increase in the reserve for possible
loan  losses  from  year-end  1999.  Management  continually  reviews  the  loan
portfolio to identify potentially weak or deteriorating credits.

INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES

     At June 30, 2000,  total  securities were $1.41 billion,  compared to $1.29
billion at December  31, 1999 and $1.39  billion at June 30,  1999.  The average
investment in securities in the second quarter of 2000 was mostly unchanged from
the same period in 1999.  Excluding  the impact of Bank of Houston,  there would
have been a decrease of $128 million, or 9%. Between these same periods, average
federal  funds  sold  and  other  short-term  liquidity  management  investments
decreased  $60 million.  The $188  million  decrease in average  securities  and
liquidity-management investments,  excluding Bank of Houston, was used to fund a
portion of loan growth.

     Bank of Houston  accounted  for all of the  increase in average  securities
from 2000's first quarter. Average loan growth during the second quarter of 2000
was primarily funded by deposits and short-term borrowings.

                                     - 13 -
<PAGE>
     During 1999,  the Company  began  building  its  investment  in  securities
classified as available  for sale,  primarily to increase  liquidity  management
flexibility. At June 30, 2000, such securities constituted 28% of the investment
portfolio,  compared to 16% at year-end  1999 and 12% at June 30, 1999.  The net
unrealized  loss on available for sale  securities  was $5.7 million at June 30,
2000 and $4.8 million at December 31, 1999.

DEPOSITS AND SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

     Average deposits and short-term  borrowings increased $513 million, or 11%,
over the second  quarter of 1999,  including  $176 million from Bank of Houston.
Compared to the first quarter of 2000,  average  deposits and  borrowings are up
$202 million,  or 4%. Bank of Houston  contributed $95 million to this increase.
These  funds  supported  the  growth in average  loans  between  these  periods.
Lower-cost  deposits  and core time  deposits of under $100  thousand  decreased
slightly as a percent of total  interest-bearing  funds in the second quarter of
2000,  falling to 67% from 68% in the first quarter of 2000.  The percentage was
71% in 1999's second quarter.

     At June 30, 2000,  total  deposits  were $4.55  billion,  compared to $4.31
billion at year-end  1999 and $4.20 billion on June 30, 1999.  Average  deposits
for the second  quarter were $4.56 billion,  which  represents an increase of 8%
over 1999's second  quarter and 3% over the first  quarter of 2000.  The Bank of
Houston  acquisition  contributed   approximately  half  of  the  year-over-year
increase and two-thirds of the increase from 2000's first quarter.

     The Company continued to show growth in average non-interest-bearing demand
deposits,  with an increase  of $67  million on average,  or 6%, over the second
quarter of 1999,  excluding Bank of Houston.  On the same basis,  average demand
deposits in the second quarter were $12 million, or 1%, higher than 2000's first
quarter. Both commercial and consumer accounts contributed to this growth.

     Average  money  market  deposits  in the second  quarter of 2000  increased
slightly  from the second  quarter of 1999 and 2000's first  quarter.  Excluding
Bank of Houston,  this deposit  category  would have decreased 4% from the prior
year's  quarter and 3% from the  first  quarter of the current year. At the same
time, average core time deposits of less than $100 thousand,  excluding  Bank of
Houston, rose $86 million, or 12% compared to the second quarter of 1999 and are
up $27 million,  or 3%, from 2000's first quarter.  These increases  reflect the
Company's  strategy  of  responding  to  rising  short-term  market  rates  with
competitively structured time deposit products.

     Average  time  deposits  over $100  thousand  grew just as  strongly in the
second quarter of 2000,  rising $86 million on average,  or 15%, over the second
quarter of 1999, and $36 million,  or 6%, over the current year's first quarter,
in  each  case  excluding  Bank  of  Houston.  Much  of  this  growth  has  been
concentrated in commercial customers and financial institutions and is volatile.

     Total average  short-term  borrowings  increased $189 million in the second
quarter of 2000 compared to last year's second quarter.  Partly  supporting this
increase was a $76 million,  or 27%,  increase in average  funds  flowing to the
Company's sweep repurchase product,  which in turn reflects the continued growth
in commercial  relationships.  To leverage its loan growth, the Company has also
made  greater use of available  wholesale  short-term  funding  sources in 2000.
Short-term  borrowings totaled $725 million at June 30, 2000 and $541 million at
December 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY

     The object of liquidity management is to ensure that funds are available to
meet cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers,  while at the same time
meeting the cash flow needs of the Company and the Banks.  Liquidity is provided
by a stable base of funding sources,  including  low-cost core deposits,  and an
adequate  level of maturing  assets.  The Company  models  liquidity  needs on a
periodic basis to determine the best strategy of  investments  and borrowings to
meet those needs.

     In order to  ensure  adequate  liquidity,  the  Company  has  developed  an
investment  strategy,   which  plans  a  level  of  investment  maturities  that
management  considers  adequate to meet funding needs. In addition,  the Company
and the Banks have access to external  funding sources in the financial  markets
and Whitney  National  Bank has  developed  the ability to gather  deposits at a
nationwide level.  During 1999, and continuing into 2000, the Company also began
building  investment  in securities  classified  as available for sale,  further
increasing liquidity management flexibility.

     The  Banks  had  close  to  $1.2  billion  in  unfunded  loan   commitments
outstanding  at June 30,  2000,  a 6%  decrease  from 1999's  year-end.  Because
commitments  and unused lines of credit may, and many times do,  expire  without
being drawn upon,  unfunded  balances do not represent  actual future  liquidity
requirements.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

     As stated in the Company's  1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K,  the objective
of the Company's  asset/liability  management is to implement strategies for the
funding and deployment of its financial  resources that are expected to maximize
soundness and profitability over time at acceptable levels of risk.

     Interest  rate  sensitivity  is  the  potential  impact  of  changing  rate
environments  on both net  interest  income and cash flows.  The Company and the
Banks obtain measures of their interest rate sensitivity by running net interest
income  simulations,  monitoring the economic value of equity, and preparing gap
analyses.

     Using the  Company's  most recent  internal  forecast  as a base case,  the
Company ran simulations to estimate the impact on forecasted net interest income
(TE) of parallel up and down  instantaneous  interest  rate shocks of 100 to 300
basis  points.  The  asset  and  liability  volumes  in the base  case were held
constant for this test.  The simulated  impact  ranged from somewhat  below a 3%
annual  increase in net interest income (TE) at 300 basis points up to an annual
decrease of a little over 3% at 300 basis points down. These results were within
acceptable limits, considering established internal guidelines.

     The Company remained strongly  capitalized at June 30, 2000. The regulatory
capital ratios of the Banks far exceed the minimum required ratios,  and Whitney
National  Bank has been  categorized  as  "well-capitalized"  in the most recent
notice received from its regulatory  agency.  The Company also fully anticipates
that Bank of Houston will be categorized as "well-capitalized."

     The reduction in regulatory  capital  levels and ratios since year-end 1999
mainly  reflects  the  impact of the  acquisition  of Bank of  Houston.  In this
transaction,  the Company  acquired  $44 million of  intangible  assets that are
deducted in determining  regulatory  capital.  Bank of Houston also  contributed
approximately $60 million to the overall increase in risk-weighted assets.

    In each of the first two quarters of 2000,  the Company  declared a $.36 per
share  dividend on its common stock.  This  represents a $.03 per share,  or 9%,
increase over the quarterly dividend declared throughout 1999.

Year 2000 Remediation

     For over two years the  Company  and others  within and outside the banking
industry  worked  diligently  to address  the risks  posed by the Year 2000 date
change to both information  processing systems and non-information  systems that
employ embedded information technology.  The success of these efforts was widely
publicized.  When the Company began processing in the new century it experienced
only a few date-related  problems and suffered no disruptions to its operations.
Critical  outside  services  were all  available.  This was also true with major
customers and suppliers.

     Costs associated with the Company's Year 2000 remediation  efforts included
both internal costs, primarily  personnel-related,  and costs from using outside
consultants.  Non-interest  expense  for the  second  quarter  of 1999  included
internal costs estimated at $.3 million and external costs of approximately  $.2
million.  For  the  first  six months of 1999, these costs totaled approximately
$1.0 million and $.6  million,  respectively.  There  were no significant  costs
during the first six months of 2000, and none are  anticipated for the remainder
of the year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest  income (TE) for the second quarter of 2000 was $63.4 million,
a $6.5 million,  or 11%,  improvement over the second quarter of 1999, with Bank
of Houston  contributing  approximately  $1.2 million to the  increase.  Bank of
Houston accounted for $.8 million of the total $1.8 million,  or 3%, increase in
net interest  income (TE) from 2000's first  quarter.  Loan growth was the major
factor behind the year-over-year  improvement coupled with the Company's ability
to maintain its mix of interest-bearing  and interest-free  funding sources over
these periods and effectively manage its cost of funds. The net interest margin,
which is net interest income (TE) as a percent of average  earning  assets,  was
4.81% this quarter, compared to 4.77% in the second quarter of 1999 and 4.85% in
2000's  first  quarter.  Tables 5 and 6 show the factors  contributing  to these
changes and the components of these changes.

     Compared  to the prior  year's  quarter,  average  loans grew 17% in 2000's
second quarter,  while other average earning assets declined 5%,  resulting in a
more favorable mix of earning assets.  As a percent of earning  assets,  average
loans increased to 73% in the current quarter,  compared to 69% in 1999's second
quarter.  The loan yield (TE)  increased 56 basis points from the second quarter
of 1999 to the  current  quarter and is up 19 basis  points  over  2000's  first
quarter,  while the yield (TE) on total earning  assets rose 52 basis points and
16 basis points,  respectively.  The rise in market rates since mid 1999,  which
continued  into the second  quarter of 2000, is reflected in the 150 basis point
increase  in the average  prime rate for the second  quarter of 2000 from 1999's
second quarter. Average prime increased 56 basis points  over  the first quarter
in 2000.

     The percent of earning  assets funded by  non-interest-bearing  sources has
remained  stable  at  approximately  27%  over  each of these  periods.  Average
non-interest-bearing demand deposits grew 9% over the second quarter of 1999 and
are up 3%  from  2000's  first  quarter,  including  Bank  of  Houston.  Average
interest-bearing  deposits grew  approximately  7% in the second quarter of 2000
compared to the prior year's quarter and 3% compared to the current year's first
quarter.  Although rising market rates have put upward pressure on the Company's
cost  of  interest-bearing  funds  and  the  proportion  of  higher-cost  funds,
including short-term borrowings,  has increased,  the stability in interest-free
funding  sources  has  helped  limit the  increase  in the total cost of funding
earning assets to 48 basis points over 1999's second quarter and 20 basis points
from the first quarter of the current year.

     For the  first  six  months  of 2000,  net  interest  income  (TE) was $125
million,  an 11% increase over the same period in 1999. The net interest  margin
was 4.83% for the 2000 period and 4.78% for the prior year's period. Essentially
the same factors impacted the quarterly and year-to-date changes in net interest
income and the net interest margin between 1999 and 2000.

PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

     The  provision  for  possible  loan losses was $2.5  million for the second
quarter of 2000, the same as in 2000's first quarter, but up from a $1.3 million
provision in the second quarter of 1999. The $5.0 million year-to-date provision
in 2000  compares to a $2.3  million  provision  in the first half of 1999.  Net
charge-offs  were $.7 million for the first six months of 2000 and $1.0  million
for the  comparable  period  in 1999.  The  higher  provisions  in 2000  reflect
management's   consideration,   among  other   factors,   of  the   increase  in
non-performing  loans and total  loans  internally  classified  as having  above
normal credit risk as well as continued strong loan growth.

     For a  discussion  of changes in the  reserve  for  possible  loan  losses,
non-performing  assets and general  asset  quality,  see the earlier  section on
Loans and Reserve for Possible Loan Losses.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

     Non-interest income, excluding securities  transactions,  was $17.4 million
in the second quarter, up 8%, or $1.4 million,  from the second quarter of 1999.
Excluding  Bank of Houston,  the year-over-year increase was 5%, or $.8 million.
There were no  significant  gains from sales of  surplus  banking  property  and
pre-1933 assets during either of these periods.

     Credit card fee income  rose 17%, or $.6  million,  to $3.9  million.  This
reflects increased  transaction volumes, both from an expanded merchant customer
base and,  more  recently,  from the  growing  use of the  Company's  debit card
products by individuals  and  businesses.  Trust service fee income rose to $2.2
million,  an increase of 7% over the same quarter last year,  continuing to show
the  benefits of  marketing  and  incentive-based  sales  efforts in an expanded
market area. Recent volatility in the equities markets,  however,  has tended to
moderate the year-to-year growth rate for this income category.

     Quarterly  income from  service  charges on deposit  accounts was up 2%, to
$7.1  million,  in  2000, but  is  down 4%, or  approximately   $.3 million,  if
Bank of Houston income is excluded.  This decrease is partly attributable to the
impact of higher  short-term  market rates which  increase  the earnings  credit
allowed  as an offset to  service  charges  on  certain  business  accounts.  As
expected,  higher market  interest rates since the latter part of 1999 have also
led to fewer conventional  fixed-rate mortgage loan originations,  and to a 57%,
or $.6 million, decrease in income from secondary mortgage market operations. As
mentioned  earlier,  during  this same  period the  Company  has  increased  its
origination  of  adjustable-rate  mortgage  loans  that  it  holds  in its  loan
portfolio.

     Other non-interest  income increased 40%, or $1.0 million,  from the second
quarter of 1999.  Approximately  a third of this increase  came from  investment
service  fees,  which almost  doubled to $.6 million in 2000's  second  quarter.
Whitney  Securities,  the Company's  broker-dealer  operation,  has been growing
rapidly since its  inception in the third  quarter of 1999,  and was the primary
factor behind this increase.  Also included in this income category is operating
revenue from the parking  facility  which was opened next to the Company's  main
office  late in the second  quarter of 1999.  This  revenue  source  contributed
approximately $.2 million to the overall increase.

                                     - 21 -
<PAGE>
     For the six-month period, non-interest income was $34.7 million, 11% higher
than the $31.3 million in the first half of 1999.  Excluding Bank of Houston and
gains  on  sales  of  surplus   property  and  pre-1933   assets,   year-to-date
non-interest income is up 7% in the current year. Percentage changes by category
were generally consistent with the quarterly changes: credit card fee income was
up 24% year to date; trust services income was up 8%; service charges on deposit
accounts are down 1%, if Bank of Houston is  excluded;  and  secondary  mortgage
market  income is down 57%.  Other  non-interest  income,  excluding the special
gains, increased 36% between these periods.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

     Non-interest  expense  was $52.0  million  in the  second  quarter of 2000,
including  $2.3 million at Bank of Houston.  Excluding the impact of this recent
acquisition, second quarter 2000 expense increased 4%, or $1.7 million, over the
second  quarter  of 1999.  The  second  quarter  total  was less than 1%, or $.4
million,  higher  than the first  quarter  of 2000.  There  were no  significant
merger-related expenses in any of these quarterly periods.

     Personnel  expense  increased by 8%, or $2.0 million,  to $25.8 million for
the quarter  compared to 1999's second quarter.  Excluding Bank of Houston,  the
increase  was 5%, or $1.1  million.  During  1999,  the  Company had reduced its
full-time  equivalent  employee base by approximately 7%, and, excluding Bank of
Houston, there has been little employment growth through the first six months of
2000. The benefit from these reductions to second quarter 2000 personnel expense
was offset by  regular  merit  increases  and higher  employee  sales  incentive
compensation, increased employee benefit costs, including an anticipated rise in
health plan fees, and by a $.2 million net increase in executive  incentive plan
compensation expense.

     Equipment and data processing expense increased 2% in the second quarter of
2000,  but is down slightly from the  year-earlier  period if Bank of Houston is
excluded.  During the first half of 1999, the Company completed the final phases
of  the  rollout  of a  new  branch  delivery  system  and  standardized  office
automation network,  as well as the automation of certain back-office  functions
and other enhancements to data processing and communications  systems.  The lack
of any significant  capital projects since then has helped contain the growth in
this expense category.  The elimination of company-owned  vehicles in early 2000
also had a favorable impact.

     In early 2000, the Company  relocated office  facilities for certain of its
Louisiana bank operations to more suitable leased premises.  The net increase in
recurring expense from this move, higher provisions for depreciation  related in
part to the new parking facility mentioned earlier, and Bank of Houston were the
main factors behind the 10%, or $.4 million,  increase in net occupancy  expense
in the second  quarter of 2000.  Excluding Bank of Houston,  the  year-over-year
increase would have been 5%.

     Credit card transaction  processing  services expense increased 13%, or $.3
million,  consistent with the related growth in merchant transaction volumes and
revenue discussed  earlier.  The intangible assets acquired with Bank of Houston
will initially generate $2.7 million in amortization expense on an annual basis.
The impact on the second quarter was $.7 million, which led to a 61% increase in
amortization expense over 1999's second quarter.

                                     - 22 -
<PAGE>
     All other  non-interest  expenses  increased  5%, or $.6 million,  to $12.1
million in the second quarter of 2000.  Excluding Bank of Houston,  the increase
was 2%, or $.2 million. During the second quarter, higher expenses were incurred
associated with an increase in marketing campaigns,  the industry-wide  increase
in  deposit   insurance  rates,  and  processing   services  for  the  brokerage
operations.  These  and  other  increased  expenses  were  partly  offset by the
benefits of expense control and reduction efforts,  particularly with respect to
operating supplies.

     For the  six-month  period,  non-interest  expense  increased  7%,  or $6.4
million.  The  year-to-date  increase  would be 3%, or $3.2 million,  if Bank of
Houston intangible  amortization of $1.0 million and other non-interest expenses
are excluded.  Personnel  expense,  excluding Bank of Houston,  increased 4%, or
$1.7  million,  through the first half of 2000.  The  favorable  impact of staff
reductions  in 1999 was again offset by regular merit raises and higher costs of
employee  incentive and benefit programs,  and by a net increase of $1.0 million
in  executive  incentive  compensation  expense.  Legal  and  professional  fees
decreased 9%, or $.2 million, largely reflecting the use of consultants in early
1999 to complete Year 2000 remediation testing as discussed earlier.  Changes in
other major non-interest expense categories between the first six months of 1999
and 2000 were generally consistent with the quarter-to-quarter  changes and were
mainly the  result of the same  factors  cited in the  discussion  of  quarterly
results above.
