                           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                           (Unaudited)

                                          June 30, 1997

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation -

         The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements for the six months
ended  June 30,  1997  include  the  accounts  of  Algiers  Bancorp,  Inc.  (the
"Company"),  its wholly owned  subsidiary,  Algiers  Homestead  Association (the
"Association") and its 51% owned subsidiary,  Jefferson  Community Lending,  LLC
("Jefferson").  Currently,  the business and management of Algiers Bancorp, Inc.
is primarily the business and  management of the  Association.  All  significant
intercompany   transactions   and   balances   have  been   eliminated   in  the
consolidation.

         On February 5, 1996,  the  Association  incorporated  Algiers  Bancorp,
Inc., to facilitate the conversion of the Association  from mutual to stock form
(the "Conversion").  In connection with the Conversion,  the Company offered its
common stock to the depositors and borrowers of the  Association as of specified
dates, to an employee stock ownership plan and to members of the general public.
Upon  consummation  of the Conversion on July 8, 1996, all of the  Association's
outstanding  common  stock was issued to the  Company,  the  Company  became the
holding  company for the  Association  and the Company  issued 648,025 shares of
common stock.

         The  Company  filed  a Form  SB-2  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission ("SEC") on March 26, 1996, which as amended was declared effective by
the SEC on May 13,  1996.  The  Association  filed a Form AC with the  Office of
Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and the Office of Financial  Institutions  ("OFI") on
March  26,  1996.  The Form AC and  related  offering  and proxy  materials,  as
amended, were conditionally approved by the OTS and OFI by letters dated May 13,
1996 and May 14, 1996. The Company also filed an Application  H-(e) 1-S with the
OTS and the OFI on March 26, 1996, which was  conditionally  approved by the OTS
and the OFI by letters dated May 13, 1996.

    The members of the  Association  approved the Plan at a special meeting held
on June 27, 1996, and the subscription and community offering closed on June 24,
1996.

     The Conversion  was accounted for under the pooling of interests  method of
accounting.  In the  Conversion,  the Company  issued  648,025  shares of common
stock,  51,860  shares of which were  acquired by its 

                                       10
<PAGE>
Employee Stock Ownership  Plan, and the Association  issued 1,000 shares of $.01
par value common stock to the Company.

         The  accompanying  consolidated  unaudited  financial  statements  were
prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and, therefore,  do not
include  information  or  footnotes  necessary  for a complete  presentation  of
financial  position,  results of operations  and cash flows in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.  However, all adjustments  (consisting
only of normal  recurring  accruals)  which,  in the opinion of management,  are
necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated  financial statements have
been included.  The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1997.

Note 2 - Employee Stock Ownership Plan-

         The Company  sponsors a leveraged  employee stock ownership plan (ESOP)
that  covers  all  employees  who have at least  one  year of  service  with the
Company.  The ESOP shares initially were pledged as collateral for its debt. The
debt is being repaid based on a ten-year  amortization  and the shares are being
released for allocation to active  employees  annually over the ten-year period.
The shares  pledged as  collateral  are deducted  from  stockholders'  equity as
unearned ESOP shares in the accompanying balance sheets.

         As  shares  are  released   from   collateral,   the  Company   reports
compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares.  Dividends
on  allocated  ESOP shares are  recorded as a  reduction  of retained  earnings;
dividends  on  unallocated  ESOP shares are  recorded as a reduction of unearned
ESOP shares. ESOP compensation expense was $35,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1997 based on the annual release of shares.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share -

         Earnings per share for periods prior to June 30, 1996 is not considered
meaningful as the  Conversion  was not completed  until after June 30, 1996, and
the 100 shares held by the  Association  as of June 30, 1996 were  canceled upon
consummation of the Conversion.

Note 3 - Special SAIF Assessment

         On September  30, 1996, as part of the omnibus  appropriations  package
signed by President  Clinton,  the government  mandated a special  assessment to
recapitalize  the  Savings  Association   Insurance  Fund  ("SAIF"),   which  is
administered  by  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC").   The
one-time,   special  SAIF  assessment  amounted  to  $.657  for  every  $100  of
SAIF-insured  deposits as of March 31, 1995.  The 

                                       11
<PAGE>
FDIC notified the  Association  that the  Association's  special  assessment was
$241,000,  which after taxes reduced the Company's net income by $159,000 in the
quarter ended September 30, 1996. The Association's deposit premiums, which were
previously $.23 for every $100 of assessable deposits, were reduced to $.064 for
every $100 of  assessable  deposits  beginning  January  1,  1997.  Based on the
Association's  deposits at June 30, 1997, the premium reduction should result in
a pre-tax cost savings of approximately $60,000 per year for the Association, or
approximately $.58 per share after taxes.

                     ALGIERS BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General
         The following discussion compares the consolidated  financial condition
of Algiers Bancorp,  Inc. and Subsidiaries at June 30, 1997 to December 31, 1996
and the results of  operations  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997
with the same periods in 1996. Currently, the business and management of Algiers
Bancorp, Inc. is primarily the business and management of the Association.  This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial
statements and footnotes included herein.

Changes in Financial Condition
         Total  assets  decreased  $2.4  million or 5.0% from  $48.2  million at
December 31, 1996 to $45.8  million at June 30, 1997.  The decrease in assets is
primarily due to decreases in investments and mortgage-backed  securities offset
by an increase in cash and cash equivalents.

         Interest-earning  deposits in other  institutions  was $2.5  million at
December  31, 1996 and $2.3 million at June 30,  1997.  These  assets  provide a
higher yield than mortgage-backed securities and have shorter maturities.

         The mortgage-backed securities portfolio decreased $2.8 million or 8.6%
from $32.9  million at December 31, 1996 to $30.0  million at June 30, 1997,  as
the amount of mortgage-backed  securities  maturing and sold exceeded the amount
purchased.  Mortgage-backed  securities  amounted  to $30.0  million or 65.5% of
total  assets at June 30,  1997,  compared  to $32.9  million  or 68.2% of total
assets at June 30, 1996.

         Due to a slowing in the demand for mortgage loans in the  Association's
market area, the loan portfolio increased slightly over the past six months from
$9.2 million to $9.4 million.

         Total deposits  decreased $612,000 or 1.6% to $36.0 million at June 30,
1997 from $36.6 million at December 31, 1996.

         Total  stockholders'  equity  decreased by $308,000 during the past six
months. Net income of $164,000,  a $9,000 increase in additional paid-in capital
and a  $10,000  reduction  in the  reserve  for  unrealized  loss on  securities
available-for-sale increased equity during the period, such items were offset by
a $31,000  dividend  paid, a $31,000  dividend  declared on common stock and the
purchase of $451,000 of treasury  stock.  Stockholders'  equity at June 30, 1997
totaled $9.5 million compared to $9.8 million at December 31, 1996.

Results of Operations

         The  profitability of the Company depends primarily on its net interest
income,  which  is the  difference  between  interest  and  dividend  income  on
interest-earning  assets,  principally  mortgage-backed  securities,  loans  and
investment  securities,  and interest expense on  interest-bearing  deposits and
borrowings.  Net interest  income is dependent  upon the level of interest rates
and the extent to which such rates are  changing.  The  Company's  profitability
also is dependent,  to a lesser extent, on the level of its non-interest income,
provision for loan losses, non-interest expense and income taxes. In each of the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996, net interest  income before  provision
for loan losses exceeded total  non-interest  expense.  However,  in each of the
1997 periods, total non-interest expense exceeded net interest income, primarily
due to the start up costs for the  Company's  51%  owned  subsidiary,  Jefferson
Community  Lending,   LLC.  Total  non-interest  expense  consists  of  general,
administrative and other expenses, such as compensation and benefits,  occupancy
and equipment  expense,  federal insurance  premiums,  and  miscellaneous  other
expenses.

         The  Company's  net  income  decreased  by  $7,000 or 6.4% in the three
months  ended  June 30,  1997 from the three  months  ended June 30,  1996.  The
decrease  was due to an increase of $128,000 or 55.7% in  non-interest  expense,
which was mostly offset by an increase of $26,000 or 9.5% in net interest income
and an  increase of $96,000 or 83.3% in  non-interest  income.  The  increase in
non-interest  expense was primarily due to increases related to the operation of
the Company's mortgage subsidiary, partially offset by a decrease in the deposit
insurance premium.

         Total  interest  income  increased  by  $105,000 or 7.9% during the six
months ending June 30, 1997 compared to the six months ending June 30, 1996, due
to the  increase in the average  yield.  Total  interest  expense  decreased  by
$38,000 or 4.1% in the six  months  ending  June 30,  1997  compared  to the six
months  ending  June 30,  1996,  primarily  due to the  decrease  in the average
balance of deposit accounts.  Average deposits decreased by $3.9 million or 7.2%
in the six months of 1997 over the comparable 1996 period. This decrease was due
primarily to the  withdrawal of funds from accounts for the purchase of stock in
Algiers Bancorp, Inc. in the conversion.

         The  increased  net  interest  income  was due to an  increase  of $3.2
million or 7.70% in net average interest-earning assets in the six months ending
June 30, 1997 over the  comparable  1996 period,  which was primarily due to the
net  Conversion  proceeds.  The  increase  in net  interest-earning  assets  was
partially offset by a decrease in the average interest rate spread from 2.47% in
the six months  ending 

                                       14
<PAGE>
June 30, 1996 to 2.26% in the six months ending June 30, 1997. The average yield
on  interest-earning  assets  decreased  from 7.06% in the first half of 1996 to
7.03% in the first  half of 1997,  while the  average  rate on  interest-bearing
liabilities  increased  from  4.59% to 4.77%  over the same  period.  During the
second quarter of 1997, the yield on interest-earning  assets decreased to 6.77%
from  7.09%  in  the  second  quarter  of  1996,   while  the  average  rate  on
interest-bearing liabilities increased from 4.50% to 4.86% over the same period.

         The decreased  yield on assets was primarily due to lower yields on the
Association's adjustable-rate mortgage loans and adjustable-rate mortgage-backed
securities.  In addition,  in the six months  ending June 30, 1997,  the Company
used a portion of its maturing  investment  securities to fund the repurchase of
5% of its outstanding  common stock. The average rate on deposits increased from
4.58%  during  the first six  months of 1996 to 4.73%  during  the first half of
1997,  and the average rate on FHLB advances  increased from 4.35% to 6.84% over
the same period.

         The  Association  had no provision or credit for loan losses in the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. Total non-performing loans totaled $163,000
at June 30, 1997, and the allowance for loan losses at such date was $525,000.

         The  increase in  non-interest  income in the six months ended June 30,
1997 was due to an  increase of $46,000 in service  charges and fees,  primarily
from  Jefferson  Community  Lending,  an  increase of $54,000 in recovery of GIC
bonds  previously  written  off,  and an  increase  of $12,000 in  miscellaneous
income, partially offset by a decrease of $27,000 in gain on sale of investments
and a decrease of $5,000 in recapture of allowance on GIC bonds.

         During the quarter  ending June 30, 1997 compared to the same period of
1996,  non-interest  income  increased  due to an increase of $41,000 in service
charges and fees, a $54,000 increase in recovery of GIC bonds previously written
off and a  $9,000  increase  in  miscellaneous  income,  partially  offset  by a
decrease of $24,000 in recapture of allowance on GIC bonds.

         The increase in total non-interest expense in the six months ended June
30,  1997 was due to a $151,000  increase  in  compensation  expense,  a $39,000
increase in  occupancy  and  equipment  expense and a $92,000  increase in other
operating expenses.  The increases in these expense accounts are associated with
the start up costs of the Company's 51% owned  subsidiary,  Jefferson  Community
Lending,  LLC and, to a lesser extent,  the costs  associated with the Company's
ESOP.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $44,000 in deposit
insurance premiums.



                                       15
<PAGE>
         Total non-interest expense increased in the three months ended June 30,
1997 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996 due to an $81,000 increase
in compensation  expense,  a $26,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense
and a $51,000 increase in other operating expenses partially offset by a $20,000
decrease in deposit insurance premiums.

         The decreases in income tax expense were primarily due to a decrease of
$9,000 or 4.0% in pre-tax  income for the six months  ended June 30,  1997 and a
decrease of $22,000 or 15.8% in pre-tax  income for the  quarter  ended June 30,
1997.  In addition,  the  effective  tax rate in the quarter ended June 30, 1997
declined to 12.8% because the $54,000 recovery on the GIC bonds was non-taxable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Association is required under  applicable  federal  regulations to
maintain  specified  levels of "liquid"  investments in qualifying types of U.S.
Government, federal agency and other investments having maturities of five years
or less.  Current OTS regulations  require that a savings  institution  maintain
liquid  assets  of  not  less  than  5% of  its  average  daily  balance  of net
withdrawable  deposit  accounts and  borrowings  payable in one year or less, of
which  short-term  liquid assets must consist of not less than 1.0%. At June 30,
1997,  the  Association's  liquidity  was 9.4% or $3.4  million in excess of the
minimum OTS requirement of 5.0%.

         The Association is required to maintain  regulatory  capital sufficient
to meet tangible,  core and risk-based  capital ratios of 1.5%,  3.0%, and 8.0%,
respectively. At June 30, 1997, the Association's tangible and core capital both
amounted to $6.8 million or 15.6% of adjusted total assets of $43.6 million, and
the  Association's  risk-based  capital  amounted  to $7.0  million  or 52.3% of
adjusted risk-weighted assets of $13.0 million.

         Based on the above capital ratios,  the Association  meets the criteria
for a  "well  capitalized"  institution  at June  30,  1997.  The  Association's
management  believes that under the current  regulations,  the Association  will
continue to meet its minimum capital  requirements  in the  foreseeable  future.
However,  events  beyond  the  control  of the  Association,  such as  increased
interest  rates or a downturn in the economy of the  Association's  area,  could
adversely  affect  future  earnings  and   consequently,   the  ability  of  the
Association to continue to exceed its future minimum capital requirements.
