Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

        On February 8, 2005, First Bancshares, Inc. ("Company") filed a Form 8-K to report that Dr. James F. Moore, Jr., a director of the Company and its financial institution subsidiary, First Home Savings Bank, had announced that he would retire upon the expiration of his term in October 2005.

Accordingly, the Form 8-K filed on February 8, 2005 is being amended to announce that Dr. Moore will retire as a director of the Company and the Bank effective with the expiration of his term in October 2006.

        Dr. Moore has served as a director of the Company since 1993 and currently serves on the Company's Executive and Audit Committees. Dr. Moore did not cite any disagreement with the Company in announcing his intention not to stand for re-election.
