of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993.  The supplemental
consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the mergers of
Hibernia Corporation and the Other Pooled Companies during 1994, which have
been accounted for using the pooling of interests method as described in Note
16 to the supplemental consolidated financial statements.  These supplemental
financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Hibernia
Corporation.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
supplemental financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the supplemental financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Hibernia Corporation and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, after giving
retroactive effect to the mergers of Hibernia Corporation and the Other Pooled
Companies, as described in Note 16 to the supplemental consolidated financial
statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.


As discussed in Notes 3 and 13, in 1993 the Company changed its method of
accounting for debt securities and income taxes.  As discussed in Note 14, in
1991 the Company changed its method of accounting for lease expense.

NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Hibernia Corporation and Subsidiaries


Note 1  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Hibernia Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Hibernia
National Bank (the Louisiana Bank), provides a full array of
financial products and services, including retail, commercial,
small-business, international, mortgage and private banking; cash
management; and trust throughout Louisiana. The Louisiana Bank,
through its wholly owned subsidiaries, also provides retail
brokerage and alternative investments, including mutual funds and
annuities.     

The accounting principles followed by Hibernia Corporation and
Subsidiaries (the Company or Hibernia) and the methods of applying
those principles conform with generally accepted accounting
principles and those generally practiced within the banking
industry. The principles which significantly affect the
determination of financial position and results of operations are
summarized below:

Consolidation

The supplemental consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Hibernia Corporation (the Parent Company) and its
wholly owned subsidiaries, Hibernia National Bank and Zachary
Taylor Life Insurance Company, for all periods presented and the
accounts of Hibernia National Bank in Texas (the Texas Bank) from
August 24, 1989, the date of acquisition, to June 30, 1992. The
consolidated financial statements include the Parent Company's
equity investment in the Texas Bank from June 30, 1992, to the date
of its sale, December 31, 1992. 

These supplemental consolidated financial statements give
retroactive effect to the mergers of Hibernia Corporation with 
Commercial Bancshares, Inc. (on July 1, 1994), Bastrop National
Bank (on July 1, 1994), First Bancorp of Louisiana, Inc. (on August
1, 1994), First Continental Bancshares, Inc. (on August 1, 1994),
Pioneer Bancshares Corporation (on December 31, 1994) and First
State Bank and Trust Company (on December 31, 1994) which have been
accounted for using the pooling of interests method.  These
supplemental consolidated financial statements will become the
primary historical financial statements upon issuance of financial
statements that include the date of consummation.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.

Securities

At December 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  SFAS No. 115 requires
the classification of securities into one of three categories:
Trading, Available for Sale, or Held to Maturity.  

Management determines the appropriate classification of debt
securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates this
classification periodically. Trading account securities are held
for resale in anticipation of short-term market movements.  Debt
securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has
the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. 
Securities not classified as held to maturity or trading are
classified as available for sale.   

Trading account securities are carried at market value and are
included in short-term investments.  Gains and losses, both
realized and unrealized, are reflected in earnings.  Held to
maturity securities are stated at amortized cost.  Available for
sale securities are stated at fair value, with unrealized gains and
losses, net of tax, reported in a separate component of
shareholders' equity.

The amortized cost of debt securities classified as held to
maturity or available for sale is adjusted for amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity or, in the case of
mortgage-backed securities, over the estimated life of the
security.  Amortization, accretion and accruing interest are
included in interest income on securities.  Realized gains and
losses, and declines in value judged to be other than temporary,
are included in net securities gains.  The cost of securities sold
is determined based on the specific identification method.

Loans     

Loans are stated at the principal amounts outstanding, less
unearned income and the reserve for possible loan losses. Interest
on loans and accretion of unearned income are computed by methods
which approximate a level rate of return on recorded principal.
Non-refundable loan origination and commitment fees and certain
direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net amount is
amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield over the
life of the loan.

Loans are placed in nonaccrual status when, in management's
opinion, there is a question concerning full collectibility of both
principal and interest.

Reserve for Possible Loan Losses 

The reserve for possible loan losses is maintained to cover
possible losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  The reserve is
based on management's estimate of future losses, and actual losses
may vary from the current estimate.  The estimate is reviewed
periodically, taking into consideration the risk characteristics of
the loan portfolio, past loss experience, general economic
conditions and other factors which deserve current recognition.  As
adjustments to the estimate of future losses become necessary, they
are reflected as a provision for possible loan losses in
current-period earnings.  Actual loan losses are deducted from and
subsequent recoveries are added to the reserve.

Foreclosed Assets

Foreclosed assets include real estate and other collateral acquired
upon the default of loans and in-substance foreclosures. 
In-substance foreclosure occurs when the market value of the
collateral is less than the legal obligation of the borrower,
repayment of the loan is dependent upon the sale or operation of
the collateral and the borrower's ability to rebuild equity in the
property is doubtful.

Foreclosed assets are recorded at fair value of the assets acquired
less the estimated cost to sell. Losses arising from the initial
reduction of the outstanding loan amount to fair value are deducted
from the reserve for possible loan losses. A valuation reserve for
foreclosed assets is maintained for subsequent valuation
adjustments on a specific-property basis.

Bank Premises and Equipment 

Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less allowances for
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are
computed primarily using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally are 10 to 40
years for buildings and 3 to 15 years for equipment, and over the
shorter of the lease terms or the estimated lives of the leasehold
improvements.

Excess of Cost Over Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired 

The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired
(goodwill) is being amortized using the straight-line method over
the estimated periods benefited, generally 15 years.

Income Taxes

Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes."  Under SFAS No. 109, the liability
method is used in accounting for income taxes.  This method
determines deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities.  The tax effect of these differences is measured using
enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse.  Prior to the adoption of SFAS
No. 109, income tax expense was determined using the deferred
method.  Deferred tax expense was based on items of income and
expense that were reported in different years in the financial
statements and tax returns and was measured at the tax rate in
effect in the year the difference originated.

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. The
Louisiana Bank is subject to a Louisiana shareholder tax which is
based partly on income. The income portion is reported as state
income tax.  In addition, certain subsidiaries of the Louisiana
Bank are subject to Louisiana state income tax.

Cash Flows 

The Company considers as cash and cash equivalents all items
included in cash and due from banks, interest-bearing time deposits
in domestic banks and federal funds sold and securities purchased
under agreements to resell. 

Reclassification 

Certain items included in the consolidated financial statements for
1992 and 1991 have been reclassified to conform with the 1993
presentation.

Note 3   Securities

As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted SFAS No. 115 effective
December 31, 1993.  Prior to December 31, 1993, the Company
classified securities as held for sale securities (available for
sale) and investment securities (held to maturity) based on
criteria which did not differ significantly from that required by
SFAS No. 115.  Held for sale securities were recorded at the lower
of cost or fair value.  A summary of securities classified as
available for sale and held to maturity is presented below.

Interest income in the amount of $9,138,000 for 1993, $18,171,000
for 1992 and $31,117,000 for 1991 would have been recorded on
nonperforming loans if they had been classified as performing.  The
Company recorded $2,527,000, $1,492,000 and $578,000 of interest
income on nonperforming loans during 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively.

In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,"
which becomes effective January 1, 1995.  SFAS No. 114 requires
that an impaired loan be measured based on discounted future cash
flows, observable market price or fair value of the collateral. 
The effect of adopting SFAS No. 114 is not expected to have a
material impact.

Note 5 Related-Party Transactions

Certain directors and officers of the Company, members of their
immediate families and entities in which they or members of their
immediate families have principal ownership interests are customers
of and have other transactions with the Company in the ordinary
course of business.  Loans to these parties are made on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
third-party transactions and do not involve more than normal risks
of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

Loans to related parties were $35,263,000 and $42,837,000 at
December 31, 1993, and 1992, respectively.  The change during 1993
reflects $65,617,000 in new loans and $73,191,000 of repayments.
These amounts do not include loans made in the ordinary course of
business to other entities with which the Company has no
relationship, other than a director of the Company being a director
of the other entity, unless the director had the ability to
significantly influence the other entity.

Securities sold to related parties under repurchase agreements
amounted to $9,968,000 and $13,115,000 at December 31, 1993, and
1992, respectively.  During 1993, the Company sold $22,700,000 of
mortgage loan pools to a related party at carrying value, which
approximated fair value.

First National Bank of Jefferson (FNJ), a subsidiary of First
Continental Bancshares, Inc. (see Note 1) had a number of banking
relationships with other banks which had certain directors,
officers and shareholders in common.  The most significant of these
relationships related to loan participations sold to and purchased
from the other banks.  Total loan participations sold to affiliated
banks was approximately $2,149,000 and $551,000 at December 31,
1993 and 1992, respectively.  The total of loan participations
purchased from these banks amounted to approximately $3,054,000 and
$2,009,000 at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.  These loan
participations sold and purchased were made without recourse, on
comparable terms with the original loan, and at market rates of
interest which provide for reimbursement of loan origination and
servicing costs.

The unsecured notes payable were acquired through the merger with
Pioneer.  They are held by individuals who are related to the
former chairman of Pioneer, who after the merger is an officer of
Hibernia.

respectively.  Interest on these certificates amounted to
$27,234,000, $36,399,000 and $91,485,000 in 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively.

Foreign deposits, which are deposit liabilities of the Cayman
Island office of the Louisiana Bank, were $3,417,000 and $1,695,000
at December 31, 1993, and 1992, respectively. Interest expense on
foreign deposits amounted to $149,000, $71,000 and $3,854,000 for
1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

</TABLE>

During 1993, the Company retired Hibernia Corporation notes,
Hibernia National Bank subordinated capital notes and other debt. 
All other debt, which was acquired through mergers, was retired at
or immediately following the legal mergers, except for the Federal
Home Loan Bank advances and the unsecured notes payable to related
parties.  The acquired debt was secured by the common stock of
various subsidiaries of merger companies.

The Federal Home Loan Bank advances were obtained to fund certain
loans made by First Bancorp of Louisiana, Inc.  The balance of the
loans which secure the advances amounted to $3,899,000 at December
31, 1993.  The advances accrue interest at contractual rates of
5.7% to 6.3% and are due in monthly installments of approximately
$39,000, including interest.  The advances are scheduled to
amortize through various dates between 2002 and 2008.  However,
should the loans for which the advances were obtained repay at a
faster rate than anticipated, then the advances are to be repaid at
a correspondingly faster rate.

Amortization relating to goodwill totaled $4,985,000, $5,828,000
and $6,322,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and
1991, respectively.  Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1993,
and 1992 totaled $38,345,000 and $33,323,000, respectively.

Note 10   Per-Share Data 

Income (loss) per common share data are based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding of 107,917,135; 54,350,285;
and 52,858,944 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.  Primary and
fully diluted per-share data are not applicable to the Company
because the computations are not dilutive.  The common stock issued
in the mergers is considered to be outstanding as of January 1,
1991.


Note 11   Employee Benefit Plans 

The Company maintains a defined-contribution benefit plan under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Retirement
Security Plan (RSP).  Substantially all employees who have
completed one year of service are eligible to participate in the
RSP.  Under the RSP, employees contribute a portion of their
regular compensation, with the Company matching employee
contributions based upon tenure.  Matching contributions are
charged to employee benefits expense.  At December 31, 1993, the
RSP owned 771,100 shares of Class A Common Stock.  The Company's
contributions to the RSP totaled $705,000 in 1993, $681,000 in 1992
and $2,216,000 in 1991.

In 1993 and 1992, the Company maintained incentive bonus programs
for key employees.  Costs of the incentive bonus programs were
$1,800,000 and $1,750,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993,
and 1992, respectively. No bonuses were accrued or paid during
1991.

During 1993, the Company established a plan for grant of
performance share awards under its Long-Term Incentive Plan for
certain members of management.  Under this plan, if the Company
achieves certain predetermined performance goals during the
two-year period from January 1, 1993, through December 31, 1994,
the Company will award common stock to certain members of
management who contribute to the Company's achievement of
predetermined goals.  A maximum of 381,000 shares may be awarded
under this plan in 1995.  During the year ended December 31, 1993,
$1,619,000 of compensation expense was recorded relating to the
performance share awards.

The Company sponsors a defined-benefit plan which provides certain
health care and life insurance benefits for employees who retired
on or before December 31, 1992.  The plan is unfunded.  Effective
January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." The
effect of prospectively adopting SFAS No. 106 increased net
periodic postretirement cost and decreased net income by $292,000.

The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at January 1,
1993, was $4,591,000.  The components of net periodic
postretirement benefit cost for 1993 include $397,000 of transition
obligation amortization and $367,000 of interest cost.

The discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 8%.  The annual assumed rate
of increase in the cost of covered benefits (the health care trend
rate) is 11% and is assumed to decrease gradually to 8% in 1996 and
to remain constant thereafter.  Increasing the health care trend
rate by one percentage point in each year would increase the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of January 1,
1993, by $279,000 and the aggregate of the amortization and
interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefits by
$22,000. 

In November 1992, the FASB issued SFAS No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."  SFAS No. 112 requires
accrual-based accounting for benefits cost relating to former or
inactive employees after employment but before retirement and
becomes effective January 1, 1994.  The effect of adopting SFAS No.
112 is not expected to have a material impact.

First Bancorp of Louisiana, Inc., (FBL) which was merged into the
Company on August 1, 1994, maintained an Employee Stock Ownership
Plan (ESOP).  This ESOP will remain in existence subsequent to the
merger.  The ESOP covers substantially all FBL employees who
qualified as to age and length of service.  A participant's
interest in his or her account becomes totally vested after
completion of five years of service.  Contributions to the ESOP are
at the discretion of the Board of Directors; however,
contributions, including any dividends received, must be sufficient
to pay any current obligations of the ESOP.  Expense relating to
this ESOP of $466,000, $135,000, and $154,000 is included in the
supplemental consolidated statements of income for the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the ESOP had outstanding a note
payable to an unaffiliated bank in the amount of $400,000 and
$594,000, respectively, which is guaranteed by the Company.  At
December 31, 1993, the borrowing was secured by 305,541 shares of
Hibernia's common stock.  At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the ESOP
owned 1,202,316 and 1,230,182 shares, respectively, of Hibernia
common stock.

Certain of the merged companies adopted retention agreements in
1993 to encourage certain officers of the merged companies to
continue their employment through the consummation of the merger. 
These agreements were executed primarily to maintain stability
within the organization and reduce the risk of loss of key members
of management before consummation of any potential merger or
acquisition of the respective Companies.  These agreements provided
that if the designated officers remain with the Company through the
consummation of the merger, and certain other conditions are
satisfied, they would receive additional compensation aggregating
approximately $1.4 million.  At December 31, 1993, this liability
had not been recorded as shareholder and regulatory approval for
the mergers had not yet been obtained.  This liability was recorded
during 1994.


Note 12   Stock Options

The Company's stock option plans provide incentive and
non-qualified options to various key employees and non-employee
directors to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at no less
than the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant.  All
options issued prior to 1992 became exercisable six months from the
date of grant.  The remaining options granted under the 1987 Stock
Option Plan, the Long-Term Incentive Plan and the 1993 Directors'
Stock Option Plan become exercisable in the following increments:
50% after the expiration of two years from the date of grant, an
additional 25% three years from the date of grant and the remaining
25% four years from the date of grant.

Options issued to employees and directors, other than the chief
executive officer, become immediately exercisable if the holder of
the option dies while the option is outstanding.  Options granted
under the 1987 Stock Option Plan generally expire 10 years from the
date granted.  Options granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan
and the 1993 Directors' Stock Option Plan do not expire unless the
holder dies, retires, becomes permanently disabled or leaves the
employ of the Company, at which time the options expire at various
times ranging from 30 to 180 days. 

At December 31, 1993, shares available for grant under the 1987
Stock Option Plan, the Long-Term Incentive Plan and the 1993
Directors' Stock Option Plan amounted to 173,945; 1,918,970; and
925,000, respectively. The 1983 Stock Option Plan was terminated in
November 1993, and there are no options outstanding under this
plan. 

The table below summarizes the activity in the plans during 1993:

Note 13 Income Taxes

As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109 effective
January 1, 1993.  As permitted by SFAS No. 109, prior-year
financial statements were not restated.  The cumulative effect of
the adoption of this Statement was to increase net income by
$2,782,000.

Income tax expense includes amounts currently payable and amounts
deferred to or from other years as a result of differences in the
timing of recognition of income and expense for financial reporting
and federal tax purposes. The components of income tax expense are
as follows:

During 1993, deferred income taxes were based on differences
between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement
purposes and tax reporting purposes and available tax credit
carryforwards. During 1992 and 1991, deferred income taxes were
provided on those items that were taxable or deductible in
different periods for financial statement and federal income tax
purposes. The tax effects of the cumulative temporary differences
and tax credit carryforwards which create deferred tax assets and
liabilities at December 31, 1993, are detailed below:

Management currently estimates realizability of the net deferred
tax asset based on the Company's ability to, first, recover taxes
previously paid and, second, generate taxable income over the next
12 months.  A deferred tax valuation reserve is established to
limit the net deferred tax asset to its realizable value.

The tax effects of significant items giving rise to deferred tax
expense (benefit) in 1992 and 1991 are detailed below:

</TABLE>

For federal income tax purposes, the Company has $17,450,000 in
alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 1993,
which do not expire.

The 1992 debt restructuring between the Company and bank group
discussed in Note 17 gave rise to "testing dates" under Section 382
of the Internal Revenue Code to determine if a change in ownership
of the Company had occurred. Generally, a change in ownership
occurs when the percentage of stock owned by one or more
five-percent shareholders, as defined, has increased by more than
50 percentage points over a three-year period.  When a change of
this type occurs, a limitation is imposed on pre-change "built-in"
losses, as defined, and tax credit carryforwards.  Due to the
issuance of stock in connection with mergers and dependent upon
resolution of proposed tax regulations related to stock issuances,
for purposes of Section 382, a change in ownership of the Company
will occur in 1994.  Based on current estimates, the Company has no
pre-change "built-in" losses, and its ability to utilize tax credit
carryforwards will not be significantly affected.


Note 14   Leases 

The Company leases its headquarters, operations center and certain
other bank premises and equipment under non-cancelable operating
leases which expire at various dates through 2013.  Certain of the
leases have escalation clauses and renewal options ranging from one
to 30 years.

Total rental expense (none of which represents contingent rentals)
included in occupancy and equipment expense was $10,740,000;
$12,490,000 and $15,151,000 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

The future minimum rental commitments at December 31, 1993, for all
long-term operating leases are as follows: 1994 - $9,254,000; 1995
- - - $8,838,000; 1996 - $8,077,000; 1997 - $7,733,000; 1998 -
$7,520,000; and thereafter - $64,812,000.

On January 1, 1991, the Company changed its method of accounting
for lease expense related to the 1983 sale/leaseback of the
Company's headquarters and operations buildings.  Under the
alternative method adopted in 1991, the Company recognizes lease
expense on the straight-line basis over the terms of the 25-year
leases, rather than in accordance with the contractual lease
payments.  The cumulative effect adjustment resulting from the
change in method included in the results of operations for 1991
amounted to $21.6 million.  The change had no material effect on
the results of operations (before the cumulative effect adjustment)
for 1991.  There was no income tax benefit recognized related to
the cumulative effect adjustment.

Note 17   Recapitalization 

During 1992, the Company increased shareholders' equity by $177.8
million through the restructuring of $99.1 million in debt and a
shareholder rights offering.

Debt Restructuring

On September 28, 1992, the Company completed the restructuring of
its $99.1 million debt to a group of seven banks. As reflected in
the table below, the existing debt was extinguished through the
issuance of securities and resulted in a non-cash extraordinary
loss for the fair value of the securities issued in excess of the
carrying value of the debt restructured. 

The Company recorded the preferred stock at its $60 million
liquidation preference and recorded as surplus the value of the
preferred stock in excess of the liquidation preference, together
with the value of the warrants issued, net of costs of issuance of
$1.3 million.  Subsequent to the completion of the rights offering
and pursuant to antidilution provisions of the preferred stock, the
bank group converted an aggregate of 21,818,182 shares of preferred
stock to 22,091,443 shares of common stock.

Under antidilution provisions of the senior and subordinated debt
agreements, each bank was issued rights to purchase additional
shares of common stock, the number to be determined by the number
of shares issued in a rights offering to shareholders.  The
agreements provided that, if all shares available in the rights
offering were purchased, the banks would have the right to purchase
an aggregate of approximately 16.5 million shares.  The rights
offering was fully subscribed, and the banks elected to purchase an
aggregate of 10.3 million shares through the conversion of debt and
related accrued interest, and certain of the banks purchased for
cash an additional 1.9 million shares.

During 1993, certain warrants issued in the restructuring were
exercised, resulting in the issuance of approximately 1,151,000
shares of common stock.  The number of shares subject to warrants
outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 1993, was approximately
661,000.  The warrants expire in September 1999.

During 1992, FCBI restructured its debt with a bank.  As a result
of this restructuring, a gain on extinguishment of debt of
$11,345,000, net of tax, was recorded.   During 1992, a portion of
Commercial's notes payable were discounted by the lending bank.  As
a result, an extraordinary gain of $284,000, net of tax, was
recorded.

Rights Offering

On November 12, 1992, the Company commenced an offering to
shareholders of record on that date to purchase 19.8 million shares
of common stock at a subscription price of $4.00 per share.  The
closing market price of the Company's common stock on November 11,
1992, was $5.00 per share.  The offering was fully subscribed, and
the Company issued 19.8 million shares of common stock.  As
previously described, certain debtholders elected to participate in
the rights offering and purchased an additional 1.9 million shares
of common stock at $4.00 per share.  The Company received net
proceeds from the rights offering of $79.2 million.


Note 18   Sale of the Texas Bank

On December 31, 1992, the Company sold the stock of the Texas Bank
to Comerica Incorporated.  The Company received net proceeds of
$56.2 million, which is the purchase price of $58.0 million reduced
by the dividend paid by the Texas Bank to the Parent Company in the
third quarter of 1992.  The Company recorded a loss of $2.9 million
in the third quarter of 1992 in order to reduce the Parent
Company's investment in the Texas Bank to its net realizable value.

At June 30, 1992, the carrying values of the assets and liabilities
of the Texas Bank were $910.2 million and $848.2 million,
respectively. The revenues and expenses of the Texas Bank (before
eliminations) shown in the table below are included in the
Consolidated Statements of Income on a fully consolidated basis for
1991 and the first six months of 1992.

Note 20   Other Financial Instruments

The Company issues financial instruments with off-balance-sheet
risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs
of its customers and to reduce exposure to fluctuations in interest
rates.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend
credit, letters of credit and standby letters of credit and
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate
risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding, conditional
agreements generally having fixed expiration or termination dates
and specified interest rates and purposes.  These commitments
generally require customers to maintain certain credit standards. 
Collateral requirements and loan-to-value ratios are the same as
those for funded transactions and are established based on
management's credit assessment of the customer.  Commitments may
expire without being drawn upon.  Therefore, the total commitment
amount does not necessarily represent future requirements.

The Company issues letters of credit and financial guarantees
whereby it agrees to honor certain financial commitments in the
event its customers are unable to perform. The majority of the
standby letters of credit consist of performance guarantees. 
Management conducts regular reviews of all outstanding standby
letters of credit, and the results of these reviews are considered
in assessing the adequacy of the Company's reserve for possible
loan losses.

</TABLE>

Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of
these instruments.

As of December 31, 1993, and 1992, the Company was a guarantor of
an interest rate swap  agreement, which matures in 1995, with a
notional amount of $74 million.  The agreement was executed by one
of the Company's customers, and the Company is exposed to loss
should its customer default.  The Company's exposure to loss is
limited to the difference between the interest payments the
customer is obligated to pay and those it is entitled to receive. 
The Company attempts to minimize this risk by performing normal
credit reviews on its customer.

Significant loan concentrations are disclosed in Note 4.


Note 21   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value information about
financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair
value, whether or not the financial instruments are recognized in
the financial statements.  When quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are based on estimates using present value
or other valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly
affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and
estimates of future cash flows.  The derived fair value estimates
cannot be substantiated through comparison to independent markets
and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement
of the instrument.  SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial
instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure
requirements.  Further, the disclosures do not include estimated
fair values for items which are not financial instruments but which
represent significant value to the Company - among them, core
deposit intangibles, loan servicing rights, trust operations and
other fee-generating businesses.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair
value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of
the Company.

The carrying amount of cash and short-term investments, demand
deposits and short-term borrowings approximates the estimated fair
value of these financial instruments.  The estimated fair value of
securities, interest rate swaps and other off-balance-sheet
instruments is based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes and
prices obtained from independent pricing services.  The estimated
fair value of loans and interest-bearing deposits is based on
present values using applicable risk-adjusted spreads to the LIBOR
yield curve to approximate current interest rates applicable to
each category of these financial instruments.

Interest rates were not adjusted for changes in credit of
performing commercial loans for which there are no known credit
concerns.  Management segregates loans in appropriate risk
categories and believes the risk factor embedded in the interest
rates results in a fair valuation of these loans on an entry-value
basis.

Variances between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value
of loans reflect both credit risk and interest rate risk.  Changes
in credit risk gave rise to carrying amounts in excess of fair
values which is more than offset by the reserve for possible loan
losses of $172.5 million.  However, the current low interest rate
environment gave rise to fair values in excess of carrying amounts.

The fair value estimates presented are based on information
available to management as of December 31, 1993.  Although
management is not aware of any factors that would significantly
affect the estimated fair value amounts, these amounts have not
been revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that
date, and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ
significantly from the amounts presented.

Note 22 Regulatory Matters and Dividend Restrictions 

In July 1991, the Louisiana Bank entered into a consent order with
the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).  Under the
consent order, the Louisiana Bank agreed to develop three-year
capital, strategic, profit and liquidity plans; to review and
revise certain policies; and to correct specific matters deemed by
the OCC to be violations of law.  In June 1993, this consent order
was terminated by the OCC.

In December 1991, the Parent Company entered into an agreement with
the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (FRB), pursuant to which the
Parent Company agreed, among other things, to develop capital,
strategic and liquidity plans and to obtain approval from the FRB
prior to declaring or paying any dividends on its capital stock,
increasing its indebtedness or selling certain assets. These
regulatory controls were terminated by the FRB in November 1993.  

Under current FRB regulations, the Louisiana Bank may lend the
Parent Company up to 10% of the Louisiana Bank's capital and
surplus.  Based on this limitation, approximately $31,655,000 was
available for loans to the Parent Company at December 31, 1993.

The payment of dividends by the Louisiana Bank to the Parent
Company is restricted by various regulatory and statutory
limitations.  In 1994, the Louisiana Bank will have available to
pay dividends to the Parent Company, without approval of the OCC,
approximately $99,227,000, plus net retained profits earned in 1994
prior to the dividend declaration date. 

Banks are required to maintain noninterest-bearing balances with
the FRB to meet reserve requirements. Average reserve balances were
$46,009,000 in 1993 and $51,107,000 in 1992.

Note 23   Contingencies

The Company is a party to certain pending legal proceedings arising
from matters incidental to its business.

In addition, the Company is a named defendant in a shareholder
class-action suit which alleges that, during the period March 19,
1990, to July 30, 1991, the market value of the Company's common
stock was artificially inflated due to false and misleading news
releases and public statements and the failure to disclose material
facts.  This suit is in the discovery stage.  The Company intends
to contest the suit vigorously.

The Company has established reserves for potential litigation
losses of approximately $11,500,000 at December 31, 1993.  In the
opinion of management and counsel, the aggregated unreserved
liability or loss, if any, of legal proceedings will not have a
significant effect on the consolidated financial condition of the
Company.

Independent Auditor's Report



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Pioneer Bancshares Corporation
Shreveport, Louisiana

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pioneer
Bancshares Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, 1992, and
1991, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Pioneer
Bancshares Corporation and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1993, 1992, and
1991, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

PIONEER BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991
Dollars in thousands (except per share amounts)

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pioneer
Bancshares Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Pioneer Bank & Trust
Company and Zachary Taylor Life Insurance Company.  Also included are the
accounts of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pioneer Bank & Trust Company. 
All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Investment securities:

Investment debt securities are those securities which the bank has the ability
and intent to hold to maturity.  These securities are stated at cost adjusted
for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, computed by the
interest method.  Generally, such securities are sold only to meet liquidity
needs.  Gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are computed on
the basis of specific identification of the adjusted cost of each security. 
The investment marketable equity securities are carried at the lower of cost
or market value.

Loans and allowance for possible loan losses:

Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned
discount and an allowance for loan losses.  Unearned discount on installment
loans is recognized as income over the terms of the loans by a method which
approximates the interest method.  Interest on other loans is calculated by
using the simple interest method or Rule of 78s on daily balances of the
principal amount outstanding.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
losses charged to expense.  Loans are charged against the allowance for
possible loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the
principal is unlikely.  The allowance is an amount that management believes
will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become
uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior
loan loss experience.  The evaluations take into consideration such factors as
changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio
quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions and
trends that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay.  Accrual of interest is
discontinued on loans past due 90 days or more and on which the collateral is
inadequate to cover principal and interest.

Loan origination fees and costs:

Loan origination fees are charged by Pioneer Mortgage Corporation on loans
which are sold to investors.  Origination fees of Pioneer Bank & Trust and
Pioneer Mortgage Corporation are recorded as income immediately.  Loan
origination expenses of Pioneer Bank & Trust Company and Pioneer Mortgage
Corporation are expensed as incurred.  Origination fees, net of loan
origination costs, are considered immaterial at year end.


Premises and equipment:

Premises and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. 
Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective
assets using straight-line and accelerated methods of depreciation.

Other real estate owned:

Other real estate owned includes properties the Company has foreclosed and
taken title to and properties that have in-substance been foreclosed. 
In-substance repossessed properties are those which the borrower has little or
no remaining equity in the property considering its fair value, repayment can
only be expected to come from the operation or sale of the property, and the
borrower has effectively abandoned control of the property or it is doubtful
that the borrower will be able to rebuild equity in the property.

Amortization:

Goodwill is charged to operations using the straight-line method over a period
of forty years.

Income taxes:

Pioneer Bancshares Corporation, with the consent of all subsidiaries, files a
consolidated Federal income tax return on behalf of all Companies.  The income
tax liability for each Company is computed separately and settled through a
transfer of funds with its Parent Company.  Provisions for income taxes are
based on amounts reported in the Statements of Income (after exclusion of non-
taxable income such as interest on state and municipal securities) and include
deferred taxes on temporary differences in the recognition of income and
expense for tax and financial statement purposes.  Deferred taxes are computed
on the liability as prescribed in SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.

Off balance sheet financial instruments:

In the ordinary course of business Pioneer Bank & Trust has entered into off-
balance sheet financial instruments consisting of unfunded master note
obligations, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  Such
financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they
become payable.

Cash and cash equivalents:

For purposes of presentation in the Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds
sold.  Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.

Reclassification:

Certain amounts in 1992 and 1991 have been reclassified to conform to 1993
presentation.

Amortized costs and approximate market values of investment securities held to
maturity are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>

The subordinated debentures were substantially redeemed in July, 1993.  The
remaining had the interest rate reduced from 10% to a fixed rate of 7%.  The
debenture matures at July, 2000, but can be prepaid without penalty.  The
debenture is subordinated to all other indebtedness of the Corporation.

The 7% notes mature in 2000.  Prior to July 1993, these notes were at 10%
interest and would mature in May of 1994.  The agreements were renegotiated
and the interest rate was reduced to 7% with payment of principal due July,
2000.  These notes are unsecured.

During 1993, proceeds from the floating rate note were used to pay for the
redemption of the subordinated debentures.  Annual principal payments of $597
are required from January, 1995, to retire the notes in 2001.  Prepayment may
be made at the option of the corporation without penalty.  The note agreement
contains various financial covenants pertaining to minimum levels of net
worth, minimum asset ratios, limitations on debt and restrictions on common
stock.  The Corporation was in compliance with all such covenants at December
31, 1993.  This note is secured by a pledge of all common stock of the bank
subsidiary, Pioneer Bank & Trust Company.

Principal payments on total long-term debt required in each of the five years
subsequent to December 31, 1993, are as follows:

 8.  Income Taxes:

Each company records a provision for income taxes (benefits) based on its
estimated income or loss at year end, and a tax settlement is made with the
parent corporation based on separately computed company tax liabilities in the
subsequent year when the final tax liability is known.

The consolidated provision for income taxes for 1993, 1992, and 1991, consists
of the following:

Deferred tax liabilities have been provided for taxable temporary differences
related to accumulated depreciation and amortization of servicing costs. 
Deferred tax assets have been provided for deductible temporary differences
related to the allowance for loan losses, for losses on foreclosed assets,
accumulated depreciation and accrued litigation expenses.  Due to the tax
timing differences, the effective tax rates are 35% for 1993, 33% for 1992,
and 26% in 1991.  The net deferred tax assets in the accompanying statements
of financial condition include the following components:

Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  The cumulative
effect of the change in accounting principle is included in determining net
income for year 1993.  Financial statements for prior years have not been
restated.

 9.  Related Party Transactions:

The Bank has entered into transactions with its officers, directors,
significant shareholders and their affiliates (related parties).  Such
transactions were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the
same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those
prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other customers,
and did not, in the opinion of management, involve unfavorable features.

A summary of changes in such loans during 1993 is as follows:

                                                   ==========
</TABLE>

There were additional commitments for the benefit of these individuals and
their interests in the form of standby letters of credit totaling $231, $236,
and $100 at December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.


10.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities:

In the normal course of business, Pioneer Bank & Trust Company has various
outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in
the consolidated financial statements, and which involve elements of credit
risk, interest risk, and liquidity risk.  The commitments and contingent
liabilities include unfunded master note obligations, commitments to extend
credit, and standby letters of credit.

Credit risk exposure is minimized by subjecting these off-balance sheet
instruments to standard credit policies.  The Corporation evaluates each
customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of
collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management's credit
evaluation.  The Bank manages this credit risk by maintaining a well
diversified portfolio of highly rated counterparties in addition to imposing
limits as to types, amounts and degree of risk the portfolios can undertake. 
The limits are approved by the appropriate loan committee or authority and
positions are monitored to ensure compliance with such limits.

Generally accepted accounting principles recognize these instruments as
contingent obligations or off-balance sheet items and accordingly, the
contract or notional amounts are not reflected in the consolidated financial
statements.  Provided below is a summary of the Corporation's off-balance
sheet financial instruments at December 31, 1993.

<TABLE>

     <S>                                                          <C>

     Commitments to extend credit                                 10,116
     Standby letters of credit                                     1,428
                                                               ---------
                                                               $  20,641
                                                               =========
</TABLE>

Unfunded master note obligations represent the credit available on current
contractual loans.  Based on management estimates approximately 50% of these
remaining amounts will be funded due to the revolving nature of the loans.

A loan commitment represents a notional contractual agreement to lend up to a
specified amount, over a stated period of time as long as there is no
violation of any condition established in the contract, and generally requires
the payment of a fee.  Standby letters of credit are issued to improve a
customer's credit standing with third parties, whereby the Bank agrees to
honor a financial commitment by issuing a guarantee to third parties in the
event the Bank's customer fails to perform.  The Bank estimates that 60% of
these commitments will be drawn upon by customers, while standby letters of
credit are rarely funded.  Interest rates are predominantly based on market
rates at the time the commitments are made.  Substantially all the commitments
expire within 30-90 days.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are parties to litigation and claims
arising in the normal course of business.  Management, after consultation with
legal counsel, believes the current reserve is sufficient for any claims that
might arise.


11.  Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value:

Cash and cash equivalents 

The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment securities 

Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where
available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based
on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Loans 

For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some residential
mortgages, and other consumer loans, fair value is estimated using the net
present value, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics.  The fair
value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash
flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to
borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Deposit liabilities 

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market
deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair
value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates
currently offered for deposits of similar maturities.

Long-term debt 

Rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and
remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.

Commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and unfunded master
notes

The fees on commitments to extend credit are recognized at the time collected
because of the short-term nature of the instrument.  Standby letters of credit
fees are collected yearly.  The majority of unfunded master notes are based on
a variable interest rate and the fees are collected at the outset of the note. 
Therefore, the value of these unrecognized financial instruments was
immaterial.


The estimated fair values of the Bank's financial instruments as of December
31, 1993 and 1992, are as follows:

12.  Employer Sponsored Defined Contribution Profit Sharing Plan:

All employees of Pioneer Bancshares Corporation and Subsidiaries participate
in an employer sponsored defined contribution profit sharing plan.  Benefits
are determined by account balances at retirement date.

All full-time employees of the controlled group at the end of the calendar
year are participants in the plan.  The contribution each year is computed at
10% of the consolidated net income before income taxes, with certain
limitations, and at the discretion of the employer's board of directors. 
Contributions of $500, $200, and $-0- were made for the years ended December
31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.

13.  Concentrations of Credit:

All of the Bank's loans, commitments, and commercial and standby letters of
credit have been granted to customers in the Bank's market area.  Most
customers are depositors of the Bank.  Investments in state and municipal
securities also involve governmental entities within the Bank's market area. 
The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 4.  The
distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of
loans outstanding.  Commercial and standby letters of credit were granted
primarily to commercial borrowers.  The Bank, as a matter of policy, does not
extend credit to any single borrower or group of related borrowers in excess
of $2.5 million without specific approval of the Board of Directors.


14.  Regulatory Matters:

The Bank is subject to the dividend restriction applicable to all state
chartered banks as set forth by State law.  The Bank is prohibited from paying
any cash dividends in excess of the sum of the current year's earnings and
previous year's earnings without the consent of the Commissioner of Financial
Institutions for the State of Louisiana.  The dividends, as of December 31,
1993, that the Bank could pay to the holding company, without the approval of
the Commissioner, amounted to approximately $7.2 million.

The Memorandum of Understanding between the FDIC and the Board of Directors of
the Bank dated October 12, 1989, was removed April 5, 1993.

15.  Book Values and Earnings per Share:

Consolidated book values and consolidated earnings per share of common stock
of Pioneer Bancshares Corporation at December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, are
computed on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period as follows:

                                 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Board of Directors
First State Bank and Trust Company
Franklinton, Louisiana


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of First State Bank
and Trust Company as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related
statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1993. 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First
State Bank and Trust Company as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1993, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   Presentation of cash flows:

     For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks includes
     cash on hand and amounts due from banks (including cash items in process
     of clearing).  Cash flows from loans originated by the Bank, deposits,
     and federal funds purchased and sold are reported net.

   Securities held to maturity:

     Securities classified as held to maturity are those debt securities the
     Bank has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity regardless of
     changes in market conditions, liquidity needs or changes in general
     economic conditions.  These securities are carried at cost adjusted for
     amortization of premium and accretion of discount, computed by the
     interest method over their contractual lives.  It is the intent of
     management to hold all investment securities until maturity.

   Loans:

     Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned
     discount and fees and an allowance for possible loan losses.

     The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level
     considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably
     anticipated.  The allowance is increased by provisions charged to
     operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs.  The Bank makes
     continuous credit reviews of the loan portfolio and considers current
     economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, review of specific
     problem loans and other factors in determining the adequacy of the
     allowance balance.

     Unearned interest on discounted loans is amortized to income over the
     life of the loans, using the interest method.  For all other loans,
     interest is accrued daily on the outstanding balances.  Accrual of
     interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after
     considering collection efforts and other factors, that the borrower's
     financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.

     Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination
     costs are being deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment
     of the related loan's yield.  The Bank is generally amortizing these
     amounts over the contractual life.

   Postretirement benefits:

     The Bank does not pay any postretirement benefits.

   Off balance sheet financial instruments:

    In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off balance
    sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit,
    commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit
    and standby letters of credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded
    in the financial statements when they become payable.

  Fair values of financial instruments:

    FASB Statement No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial
    Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value information about
    financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet,
    for which it is practicable to estimate that value.  In cases where
    quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on
    estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.  Those
    techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including
    the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  In that regard,
    the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison
    to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in
    immediate settlement of the instrument.  Statement 107 excludes certain
    financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its
    disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts
    presented do not represent the underlying value of the Bank.

    The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating
    its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

    Cash and due from banks:  The carrying amounts reported in the balance
    sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets' fair
    values.

    Investment securities:  Fair values for investment securities are based
    on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are
    not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of
    comparable instruments.

    Loans receivable:  For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and
    with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on
    carrying values.  The fair values for other loans, e.g., commercial real
    estate and rental property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial
    loans, automobile loans, and agricultural loans, are estimated using
    discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being
    offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit
    quality.  The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair
    value.

    Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit:  The fair
    value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to
    enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms
    of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. 
    For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference
    between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.  The
    fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for
    similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or
    otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting
    date.

     Deposit liabilities:  The fair values disclosed for demand deposits,
     e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings, and certain
     types of money market accounts, are, by definition, equal to the amount
     payable on demand at the reporting date, i.e., their carrying amounts. 
     Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using
     a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently
     being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected
     monthly maturities on time deposits.

   Bank premises and equipment:

     Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
     depreciation.  Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line
     method over the following estimated useful lives:


                                                   Years
                                                   -----
     Buildings and improvements                       33
     Furniture and equipment                        3-10

   Earnings per share:

     Earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average
     number of shares outstanding.

   Income taxes:

     The provision for income taxes relates to items of revenue and expenses
     recognized for financial accounting purposes during each of the years. 
     The actual current tax liability may be less than the charge against
     earnings due to the effect of certain items of revenue that are not
     taxable.  


Note 2.     Restriction on Cash and Due From Banks

   The Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances with the
   Federal Reserve Bank based on a percentage of deposits.  The average
   balance maintained for such purposes was $1,000,000 for the years ended
   December 31, 1993 and 1992.

Note 3.      Investment Securities

   Carrying amounts and fair values of securities being held to maturity as

Note 8.    Profit-Sharing Plan

   The Bank has a contributory profit-sharing plan which covers all
   employees from date of employment.  The plan provides for contributions
   by the Bank, not to exceed 15% of the annual compensation of the
   participants.  The Bank's contributions to the plan were $243,000,
   $234,000 and $100,000 for the years 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

Note 10.   Transactions With Directors and Officers

   The Bank has had, and may be expected to have in the future, banking
   transactions in the ordinary course of business with directors, principal
   officers, their immediate families and affiliated companies in which they
   are principal stockholders (commonly referred to as related parties), all
   of which have been, in the opinion of management, on the same terms,
   including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time
   for comparable transactions with others.  These related parties were
   indebted to the Bank in the aggregate amount of $1,479,000, $1,821,000
   and $1,857,000 at December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.  This
   group had deposits in the Bank of $2,106,000, $1,694,000 and $1,665,000
   at December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.


Note 11.   Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

   The Bank's financial statements do not reflect various commitments and
   contingent liabilities which arise in the normal course of business and
   which involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity
   risk.  These commitments and contingent liabilities are commitments to
   extend credit, credit card arrangements, and standby letters of credit. 
   A summary of the Bank's commitments and contingent liabilities at
   December 31, 1993, is as follows:

<TABLE>

     <S>                                                         <C>
     Commitments to extend credit                                $3,710,000
     Credit card arrangements                                       867,000
     Standby letters of credit                                      918,000
                                                                 ----------
                                                                 $5,495,000
                                                                 ==========
</TABLE>

   Commitments to extend credit, credit card arrangements, and standby
   letters of credit all include exposure to some credit loss in the event
   of nonperformance of the customer.  The Bank's credit policies and
   procedures for credit commitments and financial guarantees are the same
   as those for extension of credit that are recorded on the statements of
   condition.  Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and
   because many of them expire without being drawn upon, they do not
   generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Bank.  The Bank's
   experience has been that approximately 20% of loan commitments are drawn
   upon by customers.  The bank has not been required to perform any
   financial guarantees during the past two years.  The Bank has not
   incurred any losses on its commitments in either 1993 or 1992.  The fair
   value of these commitments and contingent liabilities at December 31,
   1993, is estimated to approximate their notional amounts.

   The Bank is party to litigation and claims arising in the normal course
   of business.  Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes
   that the liabilities, if any, arising from such litigation and claims
   will not be material to the financial position of the Bank.

Note 12.   Concentrations of Credit

   All of the Bank's loans, commitments, and standby letters of credit have
   been granted to customers in the Bank's market area.  All such customers
   are depositors of the Bank.  Investments in state and municipal
   securities also involve governmental entities within the state of
   Louisiana.  The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth
   in Note 4.  The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates
   the distribution of loans outstanding.  Standby letters of credit were
   granted primarily to commercial borrowers.  The Bank, as a matter of
   policy, does not extend credit to any single borrower or group of related
   borrowers in excess of $1,000,000.


Note 13.Regulatory Matters

   The Bank, as a state Bank is subject to the dividend restrictions set
   forth by the Office of Financial Institutions of the state of Louisiana
   (OFI).  Under such restrictions, the Bank may not, without the prior
   approval of the OFI, declare dividends in excess of the sum of the
   current year's earnings (as defined) plus the retained earnings (as
   defined) from the prior years.  The dividends, as of December 31, 1993,
   that the Bank could declare, without the approval of the OFI, amounted
   to approximately $3,296,000.  The Bank is also required to maintain
   minimum amounts of capital to total "risk weighted" assets, as defined
   by the banking regulators.  At December 31, 1993, the Bank is required
   to have minimum Tier 1 and total capital ratios of 4.0% and 8.0%,
   respectively.  The Bank's actual ratios at that date were 33.50% and
   34.76%, respectively.  The Bank's leverage ratio at December 31, 1993,
   was 13.14%.  According to FDIC capitol guidelines, the Bank is considered
   to be "well capitalized."
