FIRST NATIONAL BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1:  First National Bankshares, Inc. (the Company) is a bank
holding company whose principal subsidiary is the First National
Bank of Houma (First National).

NOTE 2:  The Company adopted Statement of Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan," effective January 1, 1995.  SFAS No. 114 requires the
measurement of impaired loans be based on the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate, or at the loan's observable market price or the
fair value of its collateral.  SFAS No. 114 does not apply to
large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans that are
collectively evaluated for impairment.  For the Company, loans
collectively evaluated for impairment include all single family
mortgage loans, loans to individuals for household, family and
other consumer expenditures and commercial, industrial, and real
estate loans under a certain dollar amount, excluding loans
which have entered the workout process.  The adoption of SFAS
No. 114 did not result in additional provisions for losses due
to the Company's continuing policy of measuring loan impairment
based on methods prescribed in SFAS No. 114.

The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon
current information and events, doubt exists that the Company
will be able to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The Company's impaired
loans within the scope of SFAS No. 114 include certain troubled
debt restructurings, and performing and nonperforming major
loans in which full payment of principal or interest is doubtful.

The Company also adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures", effective January 1,
1995.  This Statement allows a creditor to use existing methods
for recognizing interest income on impaired loans and thus the
adoption of SFAS No. 114 did not result in any change in the
amount of interest income reported.

The Company's impaired loans and the related allowance amounted
to approximately $3,293,000 and $637,000 at September 30,
1995, respectively.  There was no significant change in these
amounts during the nine months ended September 30, 1995. 
Interest income recognized on these loans amounted to
approximately $77,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1995.

NOTE 3:  The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and
footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements have been omitted. 
It is suggested that these interim statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K of First
National Bankshares, Inc.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of the information shown have been included.

The foregoing nine months interim results of 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations of the full
year 1995.


FIRST NATIONAL BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME AND
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION


Changes in the Company's Consolidated Financial Position

During the first nine months of 1995, loans increased
$14,596,000, a 15.6 percent increase from year end 1994.  That
increase is the result of an increase in the demand for loans
being generated by a more stable economy in our market place, an
officer call program and the Bank's indirect lending program.  

Proceeds from securities available-for-sale sold during the
fourth quarter of 1994 were used to purchase U.S. Treasury
obligations in the first half of 1995.  This resulted in an
increase of $7,087,000 or a 63.7 percent increase in securities
available-for-sale.  

On January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities.  This Statement required securities to be classified
into one of three reporting categories (held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale, or trading).  Securities classified as
held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost.  Those
classified as available-for-sale are carried at market value
with the unrealized gain or loss (net of income tax effect)
reflected as a component of shareholders' equity.  Those
classified as trading are carried at market value with the
unrealized gain or loss reflected in the statement of income.

In September and November 1994, the Company reclassified
securities with an aggregate amortized cost of $49,324,000 (the
"Reclassified Securities") from the available-for-sale portfolio
to the held-to-maturity portfolio.  The $3,005,000 difference
between the estimated market value and the aggregate amortized
cost of the Reclassified Securities as of the date of
reclassification (the "Unrealized Interim Loss") is being
credited back to shareholders' equity over the remaining lives
of the securities, which is currently estimated to be 16 years. 
As of September 30, 1995, the after-tax effect of the remaining
Unrealized Interim Loss with respect to the Reclassified
Securities was $1,808,000, which contributed to the total
$1,667,000 net unrealized loss adjustment to shareholders'
equity as of that date.  As of December 31, 1994, the after-tax
effect of the remaining Unrealized Interim Loss with respect to
the Reclassified Securities was $1,945,000.

FAS 115 also mandates that investment securities classified as
held-to-maturity be carried at amortized cost.  Securities
classified as held-to-maturity at September 30, 1995 had gross
unrealized gains of $367,000 and gross unrealized losses of
$3,265,000 ($2,740,000 of which is the unaccreted amount of the
Unrealized Interim Loss with respect to the Reclassified
Securities as of that date).  As of December 31, 1994, gross
unrealized gains and gross unrealized losses in the
held-to-maturity account were $56,000 and $6,181,000,
respectively.

At September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, other assets
included $5,431,000 and $6,186,000, respectively, in deferred
tax assets.  The reduction in deferred tax assets is
attributable to the use by the Company of net operating loss
carryforwards during the period.  To the extent the Company
continues to utilize net operating loss carryforwards in future
periods, there will be further reductions in deferred tax assets.

Non interest bearing deposits reflects an increase of
$1,650,000, or 6.4 percent, from year end 1994.  Interest
bearing deposits showed a $8,854,000 increase, a 5.9 percent
increase, during the first nine months of 1995.  That increase
was the product of the Bank's decision to be more aggressive and
competitive with interest rates offered for local
interest-bearing deposits.

Other real estate and foreclosed assets increased $614,000 or
145.2 percent from December 31, 1994.  A major portion of that
increase, $537,000, was the result of the acquisition of
collateral securing a loan which carried the guarantee of the
Farmers Home Administration (FHA).  That guarantee continues to
be effective until the liquidation of the assets acquired.

Results of the Company's Operations

Income before income taxes for the nine month period in 1995
increased $300,000, or 13.4 percent, to $2,535,000 compared to
$2,235,000 for the first nine months of 1994.  Net income for
the same period was $1,923,000, a decrease of $4,221,000, or
68.7 percent, from the first nine months of 1994.  The decrease
is directly attributable to the Company recording a $612,000
income tax expense in 1995 as compared to recording a $3,909,000
credit to income tax expense in the same period in 1994, and to
the Company's not recording a credit provision for loan losses
in 1995, compared to recording a $500,000 credit provision in
the same period in 1994.  In 1993, when the Company changed its
method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method
to the liability method as required by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 109, it established a valuation
allowance against its deferred tax assets.  This valuation
allowance was established due to the uncertainty of utilizing
prior years' net operating loss carryforwards.  During 1994, the
Company reduced its valuation allowance by $4,554,000 based upon
the likelihood it would utilize prior years' net operating loss
carryforwards and decreased its income tax expense by the same
amount.  Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts
used for income tax purposes.  During the first nine months of
1995, the Company began utilizing its net operating loss
carryforwards and reduced deferred tax assets by $582,000.  The
total provision for income tax expense at September 30, 1995 was
$612,000.

For the nine month period ending September 30, 1995, compared
to the same period in 1994, interest income increased $1,781,000
or 18.3 percent, the result of higher rates earned and increased
volumes of loans.  Interest expense increased $993,000 or 28.8
percent, during the same period.  The principal reasons for the
increase was the increased balances in interest bearing deposits
and higher rates paid.  The net effect was an increase in net
interest income of $788,000, an improvement of 12.6 percent, for
the nine month period ending September 30, 1995 compared to the
same period in 1994.

Non-interest income increased $162,000, a 13.3 percent
increase, when comparing the first nine months of 1995 to 1994. 
The increase is directly related to a $51,000 increase in fees
for trust services recorded in 1995 and $99,000 in losses
recorded from securities transactions in 1994.  Non-interest
expense increased $150,000 or 2.6 percent during the same
period.  The increase reflects the net effect of increases in
salaries and wages, directors fees and professional fees and
decreases in expenses associated with OREO and other problem
loans.

Nonperforming assets decreased $376,000 or 7.6 percent at
September 30, 1995 as compared to December 31, 1994.  On
September 30, 1995, loans 90 days or more past due, but still
accruing interest, included loans for $785,000 that are
guaranteed by the Farmers Home Administration.  These loans on
December 31, 1994 were included in renegotiated loans still
accruing.  Shown below is a schedule of the Company's
nonperforming assets (in thousands):



                                               09-30-95   	12-31-94

Total nonperforming loans                        	3,555      	4,545    

Other real estate and foreclosed 
  property (net of reserves)                      1,037       	 423    

Total nonperforming assets 	                     $4,592     	$4,968    


A credit provision for possible loan losses of $500,000 was
recorded in the second quarter of 1994.  The credit provision in
1994 was the result of management's analysis that the then
current allowance for possible loan losses was more than
adequate to cover any potential losses.  No credit provision has
been recorded in the first nine months of 1995 and, at this
time, management does not anticipate a credit provision for
possible loan losses in 1995.

When comparing third quarter results of 1995 to 1994, income
before income taxes increased $243,000.  Contributing to this
increase was a $112,000 decrease in expenses associated with
other real estate owned and problem loans and a $173,000
improvement in net interest income.  Net income for the third
quarter 1995 was $3,658,000 less than the net income for the
third quarter 1994.  The reduction in net income is attributable
to the Company recording a $138,000 income tax expense in the
third quarter of 1995 as compared to a $3,763,000 credit to
income tax expense in the same period in 1994 offset somewhat by
the improvements in expenses identified above.  Net interest
income before provisions for loan losses reflected an increase
of $173,000 or 7.9 percent.  This increase is directly
attributable to the increase in the volume of loans.  Non
interest income increased $42,000, a 10.0 percent increase.  The
increase is a result of increased fees earned for trust services
in 1995.  Non interest expense decreased $28,000 or 1.5 percent.
 The decrease was the net effect of increases recorded for
expenses for salaries and employee benefits offset by reduced
expenses associated with OREO and problem loans.

At September 30, 1995, the Company held $44,622,000 or 60%
percent of its securities portfolio in the form of derivative
financial instruments, a decrease of $44,000 from December 31,
1994.  The Company's derivative financial instruments are
broadly defined as financial instruments which derive their
value from various indices.  Approximately 51 percent of the
Company's derivative financial instruments are subject to
interest rate caps ranging from 9.5 percent to 24.0 percent,
which could adversely impact the yield and interest income that
could be realized should various indices rise above these
interest rate caps.  Net interest income will be adversely
impacted in 1995 and may be adversely impacted in subsequent
years as a result of the expiration in the third quarter of 1995
of "teaser rates" on approximately $5,930,000 of derivative
financial instruments.  The rates in effect, after the
expiration of "teaser rates," are floating rates which could
increase or decrease in response to changes in interest rates. 
Based upon interest rate indices in effect on September 30,
1995, the expiration of "teaser rates" caused the interest rate
to decrease from 7.00 percent to 3.36 percent on $1,791,000 of
securities maturing in July 2000, from 8.00 percent to 3.48
percent on $2,555,000 of securities maturing in August 2003 and
from 11.00 percent to 2.74 percent on $1,584,000 of securities
maturing in September 2008.  Assuming interest rate indices
remain as they were on September 30, 1995, the effect of the
expiration of these "teaser rates" would be the reduction in net
interest income for the remainder of 1995 of approximately
$93,000.

Liquidity

The Company has attempted to position itself to meet the
demands of the changing economic conditions with a high ratio of
net liquid assets to net liabilities.  At year-end 1994, this
ratio stood at 36.5 percent and on September 30, 1995, 35.3
percent.  In an attempt to position itself to meet the demands
of the changing economic conditions, the Company has identified
approximately $20,095,000 in securities available-for-sale which
are carried in the statement of condition at market value.  A
schedule of the Company's interest sensitivity/GAP analysis

Amounts stated include only fixed and variable rate instruments
in the balance sheet that are still accruing interest.  Variable
rate instruments are included in the next period in which they
are subject to change in rate.  The principal portion of
scheduled payments on fixed rate instruments are included in the
periods in which they become due or mature.  Because changes in
rates paid on interest-bearing demand deposits have lagged
behind changes in rates on other instruments, only 50 percent of
the balance of interest-bearing demand deposits is included in
the first period and 50 percent is included in the last period.
