ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On August 30, 1996, First United Bancshares, Inc., El Dorado, Arkansas
("First United"), acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of
Carlisle Bancshares, Inc., Little Rock, Arkansas ("Carlisle"), pursuant to the
Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated April 1, 1996
("Agreement"), whereby First United acquired 139,142 shares of common stock of
Carlisle in exchange for the issuance of 506,717 shares of First United common
stock and satisfied unexercised stock options of Carlisle common stock by
issuing an additional 1,383 shares of First United common stock.  The average
price of First United common stock was defined, pursuant to the Agreement, as
the average sales price per share for all trades occurring during the period of
ten (10) trading days on which one or more trades actually takes place and
which ends immediately prior to the second trading day preceding the closing
date.  The average price was $27.6865 resulting in an exchange ratio of 3.6418
shares of First United common stock for every one (1) share of Carlisle common
stock.  The method of calculating the above described average sales price and
exchange ratio are fully described in First United's Form S-4 Registration
Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, Registration No. 333-06185 as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on June 18, 1996, and which
became effective July 12, 1996 ("Registration Statement").

         Carlisle was a multi-bank holding company which owned 100% of the
common stock of The Citizens Bank & Trust Company, Carlisle, Arkansas,
FirstBank of Arkansas, Brinkley Arkansas and Hazen First State Bank, Hazen,
Arkansas.  Carlisle engaged, directly or through subsidiaries, in those
activities closely related to banking which are specifically permitted under
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.

         Pursuant to the Agreement, no fractional shares of First United common
stock were issued.  Therefore, Carlisle stockholders have received or will
receive cash payments for their fractional shares.  First United has made or
will make all cash payments from its excess funds.  Prior to consummating the
Agreement, First United had 7,738,.109 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding.  By issuing 508,100 shares of First United common stock, which
amounted to 6.57% of the pre-merger issued and outstanding shares, First United
presently has 8,246,209 shares issued and outstanding.  All of the issued and
outstanding shares are listed on the National Association of Securities Dealers
automated quotation system national market system.
