                     AMERICAN BANCSHARES OF HOUMA. INC.
                    Management's Discussion and Analysis

     American Bancshares of Houma, Inc. (the Company) is a one-bank holding
company whose primary asset is the 100% ownership of American Bank and
Trust Company of Houma (the Bank) domiciled in Houma, Louisiana.


Overview

     The Company earned $769,000 or $3.35 per share for the nine month
period ending September 30, 1995, providing a 1.23% return on average
assets and a 12.78% return on average equity.  Year-to-date net earnings
decreased by $41,000 or $0.18 per share from the same period in 1994 due
primarily to increased overhead expenses and reduced investment securities
gains realized.  Third quarter earnings increased by $23,000 or $0.10 per
share due primarily to increased noninterest income and reduced overhead
expenses.

     During 1995, the Company's total assets grew by 4.01%, after
experiencing growth of 13% to 14% for the year 1994.  Total deposits
increased $1,727,000 or 2.3% in 1995 due to increased time deposit
balances.

     At September 30, 1995, nonaccrual loans totaled $137,000, restructured
loans totaled $965,000, loans past due 90 days or more totaled $68,000, and
foreclosed assets totaled $346,000.  Overall, total nonperforming assets
increased by $47,000 or 3.2% since December 31, 1994, primarily due to an
increase in nonperforming consumer loans.  During 1994, the Bank increased
its portfolio of indirect automobile loans significantly by offering
financing through several local dealers.  Management monitors the portfolio
closely and has stepped up collection efforts to minimize delinquencies and
potential losses.  During the third quarter of 1995, total nonperforming
assets decreased by $78,000 or 4.9%.


Net_Interest_Income

     Year-to-date net interest income remained consistent with 1994 levels.
The negative effects of a decrease in the net interest margin from 5.30% in
1994 to 4.88% in 1995 were offset by a 9.1% increase in the volume of
average interest earning assets.  Net interest margin decreased due
primarily to the increased cost of funds resulting from higher interest
rates and a shift in deposit mix from NOW, money market and savings
accounts to certificates of deposit with higher interest rates.  An
increase in income due to higher loan volume offset the decrease in income
due to reduced margin.

     Detailed analysis of the components of and changes in net interest
income on a taxable equivalent basis is provided in the "Summary of Average
Balance Sheets, Interest, and Interest Rates" and "Comparative Changes in
Interest Income and Expense" tables that follow this discussion.








Allowance_and_Provisions_for_Loan_Losses

     No provisions for loan losses were made during the nine months ending
September 30, 1995, as the $1,079,000 allowance (representing 2.1% of the
portfolio) is deemed to be adequate by Bank management.  During the same
period in 1994, provisions for loan losses totaled $5,000.  The Bank
recorded year-to-date net charge-offs of $54,000 in 1995 compared to net
recoveries of $59,000 for the same period in 1994.


Noninterest_Income

     Year-to-date noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains
and losses, also remained consistent with 1994 levels.  Increased service
charge income on deposit accounts largely offset reduced secondary market
mortgage loan origination and other loan fee income.  Service charge income
increased primarily due to a new pricing structure on high-volume
commercial accounts and increased NSF volume.  The volume of mortgage loans
originated for sale in the secondary market decreased in 1995 due primarily
to higher mortgage interest rates.  Third quarter volume has increased,
however, as interest rates have come down.  Details of other noninterest
income are provided in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.


Noninterest_Expense

     Year-to-date total overhead expenses increased by $51,000 or 2.0% over
the same period in 1994.  Total salaries and employee benefits decreased
slightly as reduced accruals for retirement plan contributions offset
increased wages and other benefits.  Accruals for retirement plan
contributions decreased by $74,000 in 1995 due to the 1994 contribution of
$92,000 to Employee Stock Ownership Plan which increased retirement plan
expense in that year.  Directors' fees increased by $48,000 due to an
increased fee schedule and additional committee meetings.  Advertising
expense increased by $28,000 due to an expanded marketing program.
Equipment expense increased by $18,000 in 1995 due to higher depreciation
expense resulting from capital improvements.  During the third quarter of
1995, the F.D.I.C.  reduced deposit insurance premiums retroactive to June
1, 1995.  As a result, year-to-date F.D.I.C. and state assessments
decreased by $34,000.  Stationery and supplies expense decreased by $18,000
due to improved technology and purchasing practices.  Additional
information on other expenses is provided in note 4 to the consolidated
financial statements.


Liquidity

     The Bank's liquidity ratio, which is a measure of net cash, short-term
and marketable assets as a percent of net deposits and short-term
liabilities, equaled 31.7% at September 30, 1995, compared to 26.7% at
December 31, 1994.  Management strives to maintain a minimum liquidity
ratio of 25%.  Total loans, net of unearned discounts, represented 67.2% of
total deposits at September 30, 1995, compared to 69.3% at December 31,
1994.  Federal funds sold and investments in short-term,  high  quality  U.
S.  Government  and U. S.  Government Agency securities provide a source of
ongoing liquidity for the Bank.  The investment portfolio is structured to
provide a ladder of maturities to ensure that funds will be available when
needed.  Also, a significant portion of the investment portfolio is
classified as available-for-sale in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.  115.  While the Bank has the intent to hold these
securities indefinitely, they are available for disposal and may be sold
for liquidity as well as other reasons.  The Bank also has the ability to
purchase federal funds from correspondent banks and to pledge securities
for other borrowings if necessary to satisfy temporary liquidity needs.
Management believes that these factors place the Bank in a sound liquidity
position.


Capital_Adequacy_&_Dividends

     Regulatory capital guidelines set forth minimum ratios of total
capital to total "risk-weighted" assets of 8.0%, "Tier 1" capital to total
"risk-weighted" assets of 4.0%, and a leverage ratio ("Tier 1" capital to
total assets) of 4%.  Because the Company has total consolidated assets of
less than $150 million and meets certain other conditions, the guidelines
are applied on a bank-only basis.  For the Bank, "Tier 1" capital consists
of its shareholders' equity, excluding net unrealized market gains or
losses on available-for-sale securities.  Total capital consists of "Tier
1" capital plus an allowable portion of the allowance for loan losses.  At
September 30, 1995, the Bank's total capital to total "risk-weighted"
assets ratio equaled 18.32%, its "Tier 1" capital to total "risk-weighted"
assets ratio equaled 17.06%, and its leverage ratio equaled 9.55%.

     In June of 1995, the Company declared dividends totaling $0.40 per
share, which included a $0.25 regular dividend and a $0.15 special
dividend.  These dividends were paid in July.  In 1994, mid-year dividends
totaling $0.25 per share were declared in July and paid in August.


Regulatory_Matters

On February 8, 1994, the Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) regarding
regulatory compliance issues.  The MOU  resulted  from  a compliance
examination of the Bank conducted by the FDIC on October 1, 1993, in which
several violations of federal regulations were noted, primarily record-
keeping and disclosure violations.  The MOU requires the bank to improve
its compliance program to insure adequate management supervision, training,
and review procedures to insure compliance with federal record-keeping and
disclosure requirements.  The MOU originally required the Bank to make
quarterly progress reports to the FDIC.  Based on progress reports made,
the FDIC removed the quarterly reporting requirement on April 17, 1995.
While the MOU must remain in effect until the next compliance examination
of the Bank, management believes it has taken the necessary steps to insure
future compliance.

Item_1._Legal_Proceedings.


(a) Alfred P. Cenac, Jr., et al. v. American Bank and Trust Company, et al.

     Regarding the suit of Alfred P. Cenac, Jr., et al. previously
disclosed in the 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed on March 30, 1995,
the plaintiffs filed an appeal on May 11, 1995, in the United States
District Court.  On July 18, 1995, the Court dismissed the plaintiffs'
appeal without prejudice.  Bank management and its legal counsel now
consider this case closed.


(b) State of Louisiana, ex rel, William J. Guste, Jr., Attorney General and
    the Louisiana Economic Development Corporation v. American Bank and
    Trust Company of Houma and KTK Holding, Inc.

     It was previously disclosed in the 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
filed on March 30, 1995, that the Trustee of the bankruptcy estate of Kirk
Manufacturing of Houma, Inc. ("Kirk") may attempt to recover approximately
$278,000 in payments made by Kirk during the one year period preceding
Kirk's filing for Chapter 11 relief.  The statute of limitations on the
time period allowed to bring such action against the Bank has expired,
eliminating any potential liability of the Bank for these payments.

     No other material developments have occurred in this case.


Item_6._Exhibits_and_Reports_on_Form_8-K.

     During the quarter ended September 30, 1995, no reports on Form 8-K
