ITEM 5.      OTHER EVENTS.

     In connection with its program of acquiring financial institutions in
existing or adjacent markets, Regions Financial Corporation ("Regions") is
filing this Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Current Report") with respect to
certain aspects of its consummated and pending acquisitions for the 1996 fiscal
year.

     On March 1, 1996, First National Bancorp, located in Gainesville, Georgia,
merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of Regions in a combination accounted for
as a pooling of interests.  Supplemental consolidated financial statements of
Regions giving effect to the combination of First National Bancorp with Regions
were included as Exhibit 99.C to the Annual Report of Regions on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1995, and Regions' management's discussion and
analysis of financial condition and results of operations giving effect to the
combination of First National Bancorp with Regions was included as Exhibit 99.1
to Regions' Current Report on Form 8-K filed June 4, 1996.

     During the first three months of 1996, Regions has consummated, in
addition to the combination with First National Bancorp, the acquisitions of
(i) Metro Financial Corporation ("Metro"), located in Atlanta, Georgia and (ii)
Enterprise National Bank of Atlanta ("Enterprise"), located in Atlanta,
Georgia.

     Since March 31, 1996 Regions has consummated the acquisition of First
Federal Bank of Northwest Georgia, Federal Savings Bank ("First Federal"),
located in Cedartown, Georgia, which added approximately $94 million in assets
to Regions' consolidated balance sheet, and which resulted in the issuance of
388,677 shares of Regions common stock having an approximate value of $17
million, computed as of the date of consummation of the First Federal
acquisition. Regions has accounted for the First Federal acquisition as a
pooling of interests.

     In addition, as of the date of this Current Report, Regions has pending
seven additional acquisitions (the "Pending Acquisitions") in Georgia,
Louisiana, and Florida, certain aspects of which transactions are set forth in 
the following table.

shares of Regions common stock.

(3)  At the effective time of the merger of Delta Bank & Trust Company  
("Delta") into Regions Bank of Louisiana, Regions' Louisiana banking subsidiary
(the "Delta Effective Time"), each share of Delta common stock issued and
outstanding at the Delta Effective Time, with certain exceptions, will be
converted into 2.2568 shares of Regions common stock, subject to possible
adjustment in the event the average closing price of Regions common stock for a
specified period is less than $34.00 or greater than $46.00, and an additional

possible adjustment in the event the average closing price of Regions common

(6)  At the effective time of the merger of Florida First Bancorp, Inc.
("Florida First") with and into Regions (the "Florida First Effective Time"),
each share of Florida First common stock issued and outstanding at the Florida
First Effective Time, with certain exceptions, will be converted into $11.65 in
cash.

(7)  At the effective time of the merger of Allied Bankshares, Inc. ("Allied")
into Regions (the "Allied Effective Time"), each share of Allied common stock
issued and outstanding at the Allied Effective Time, with certain exceptions,
will be converted into .226 of a share of Regions common stock.

(8)  At the effective time of the merger of West Carroll Bancshares, Inc.
("West Carroll") into Regions (the "West Carroll Effective Time"), each share
of West Carroll common stock issued and outstanding at the West Carroll
Effective Time, with certain exceptions, will be converted into 4 shares of 
Regions common stock.


   If the First Federal Acquisition and all of the Pending Acquisitions had
been consummated on March 31, 1996, based on March 31, 1996 pro forma financial 
information, Regions' total consolidated assets would have increased by
approximately $1.5 billion to approximately $19.0 billion; its total
consolidated deposits would have increased by approximately $1.2  billion to
approximately $15.4 billion; and its total consolidated stockholders' equity
would have increased by approximately $96 million to approximately $1.6
billion.

      Consummation of the Pending Acquisitions is subject to the approval of
certain regulatory agencies and of the stockholders of the institutions to be
acquired and to the effectiveness of the registration statements filed or to be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, the closing of
each transaction is subject to various contractual conditions precedent.  No
assurance can be given that the conditions precedent to consummating the
Pending Acquisitions will be satisfied in a manner that will result in the
consummation of all of the Pending Acquisitions.

     Regions has purchased, in the open market, 1.8 million shares of Regions 
Common Stock to be issued in the First Gwinnett Acquisition, the Delta 
Acquisition, the ABH Acquisition, and the Rockdale Acquisition. 

      As part of its ongoing business strategy, Regions continually evaluates
business combination opportunities and frequently conducts due diligence
activities in connection with possible business combinations.  As a result,
business combination discussions and, in some cases, negotiations frequently
take place, and future business combinations involving cash, debt, or equity
securities can be expected.  Any future business combination or series of
business combinations that Regions might undertake may be material, in terms of
assets acquired or liabilities assumed, to Regions' financial condition. Recent
business combinations in the banking industry typically have involved the
payment of a premium over book and market values. This practice could result in
dilution of book value and net income per share for the acquirer.

      Included as an exhibit to this Current Report, and incorporated herein by
reference, is certain unaudited pro forma financial information of Regions as
of March 31, 1996, prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X,  giving effect
to the above-discussed acquisitions.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Income





a)  To reflect elimination of interest income that would have been foregone on
    the securities used to fund the purchase of the Regions common stock to be
    issued in the purchase acquisitions and to provide the cash paid in the 
    Florida First transaction.

b)  To reflect amortization, over 18 years, of excess purchase price resulting
    from acquisitions.

c)  To reflect the income tax provision related to adjustments to income
    arising out of the acquisition transactions.

d)  Pro forma earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
    shares outstanding for the period adjusted for the applicable exchange 
    ratio.

e)  First Federal's fiscal year end is September 30.  In order to conform with
    Regions' fiscal year end the statement of income for the subsequent
    interim period was added to First Federal's year end information and the
    comparable preceding year interim period results were deducted.
