A Message from the President

In September, 2004, First Louisiana Bank celebrated its five year anniversary. During these first five years, First Louisiana Bank has accomplished much more that we had previously anticipated. By year end 2004, we had grown to over $100 Million in total assets. We currently have three full service locations in Shreveport/Bossier City and are currently looking for more.

In March, construction was completed on our permanent facility in Bossier City, which replaces the building we occupied for the past 5 years. More than doubling our space in Bossier City, this new facility will allow us to better serve our north Bossier customers. Also, we have purchased a lot on Hwy. 80, East of Louisiana Downs that will be opened in the near future.

We are proud to announce that First Louisiana Bank has joined the Bankers Insurance Center, LLC. This investment enables First Louisiana Bank to market various insurance products to our customers. These products should be available by the end of March.

We would like to invite you to join the First Louisiana family of customers. As a full-service bank we are able to offer you all of the products and services you expect from the big banks, but with a friendly, hometown touch. Our goal is to be the bank you enjoy coming to, and doing business with.

I look forward to meeting you and please let us know how we can serve you best.

Ron C. Boudreaux
President & Chief Executive Officer
