                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

                                 March 31, 1997

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation -

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three months
ended  March 31,  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
an 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 share of common
stock,  51,860  shares of which were  acquired by its 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,


                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>
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 three
months ended March 31, 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 $18,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 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 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


                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>
$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 March
31,  1997,  the premium  reduction  should  result in a pre-tax  cost savings of
approximately  $62,000 per year for the Association,  or approximately  $.69 per
share after taxes.

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  $1.1  million or 2.4% from  $48.2  million at
December 31, 1996 to $47.1 million at March 31, 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 $3.3  million at
December  31, 1996 and at March 31, 1997.  These  assets  provide a higher yield
than mortgage-backed securities and have shorter maturities.

         The mortgage-backed securities portfolio decreased $282,000 or .9% from
$32.9  million at December 31, 1996 to $32.6  million at March 31, 1997,  as the
amount of mortgage-backed securities maturing exceeded the amount purchased.

         Due to a slowing in the demand for mortgage loans in the  Association's
market area, the loan portfolio  remained constant over the past three months at
$9.2 million.

         Total deposits decreased $498,000 or 1.4% to $36.1 million at March 31,
1997 from $36.6 million at December 31, 1996.

         Total  stockholders'  equity decreased by $58,000 during the past three
months.  Net income of $62,000,  a $5,000 increase in additional paid-in capital
and a $13,000  reduction in unearned  ESOP shares  increased  equity  during the
period.  Equity was  reduced  $106,000  due to an  increase  in the  reserve for
unrealized  loss on  securities  available-for-sale  and by a  $32,000  dividend
declared on common  stock.  Stockholder's  equity at March 31, 1997 totaled $9.7
million compared to $9.8 million at December 31, 1996.

Results of Operations

         Based on the above capital ratios,  the Association  meets the criteria
for a "well  capitalized"  institution  at March  31,  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.

         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. 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  noninterest  income,  provision for loan
losses,  noninterest expense and income taxes. In each of the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996,  net interest  income before  provision for loan losses
exceeded  total  noninterest  expense.  Total  noninterest  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  increased  by  $5,000 or 8.8% in the three
months  ended March 31, 1997 from the three  months  ended March 31,  1996.  The
increase  was due to an increase of  $133,000 or 55.9% in net  interest  income,
mostly offset by an increase of $105,000 or 50.5% in  noninterest  expense.  The
increase in  noninterest  expense was primarily due to increases  related to the
formation of the Company's mortgage  subsidiary,  partially offset by a decrease
in the deposit insurance premium.

         The increased net interest income was due to an increase in the average
interest  rate spread  from 2.14% in the March 31, 1996  quarter to 2.64% in the
March 31, 1997 quarter.  The yield on  interest-earning  assets increased faster
than the average  rate on deposits  as the  Association  was able to control the
rate  of  increase  on  deposits  through  discretionary  pricing  and  due to a
reduction in the average balance of deposit  accounts  outstanding  during 1997.
The average rate on deposits  decreased  from 4.71% in the first quarter of 1996
to  4.69%  in  the  first   quarter  of  1996,   while  the  average   yield  on
interest-earning  assets  increased  6.9% to 7.32%  over the  same  period.  The
increased   yield  on  assets  was   primarily  due  to  higher  yields  on  the
Association's adjustable-rate mortgage loans and adjustable-rate mortgage-backed
securities.  In addition,  in the first quarter of 1996, 

                                     - 14 -

the Association used a portion of its maturing investment securities to fund the
purchase  of  mortgage-backed   securities,   which  are  higher  yielding  than
investment securities.  Mortgage-backed  securities amounted to $32.6 million or
69.2% of total assets at March 31, 1997,  compared to $32.9  million or 68.2% of
total assets at March 31, 1996.

         Total  interest  income  increased  by  $119,000  or 14.7% in the first
quarter of 1997  compared to the first  quarter of 1996,  due to the increase in
the average yield.  Total interest  expense  decreased by $14,000 or 3.2% in the
first quarter of 1997  compared to the first  quarter of 1996,  primarily due to
the  decrease  in the  average  balance of  deposit  accounts  average  deposits
decreased  by $2.1  million  or 5.5%  in the  three  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  Association  had no  provision  or credit  for loan  losses in the
quarters  ended  March 31,  1997 and 1996.  Total  nonperforming  loans  totaled
$25,000 at March 31, 1997,  and the  allowance  for loan losses at such date was
$526,000.

         The  decrease  in total  noninterest  income  was  income  was due to a
$27,000 decrease in gain on sale of investments,  a $9,000 decrease in recapture
of allowance on GIC bonds  partially  offset by increases in service charges and
fees and miscellaneous income.

         The increase in total noninterest expense was due to a $66,000 increase
in compensation  expense,  a $20,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense
and a $36,000  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.  These  increases  were
partially offset by a decrease of $24,000 in deposit insurance premiums.

The increase in income tax expense was  primarily  due to an increase of $12,000
or 1.4% in pre-tax income.

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 March 31,
1997,  the  Association's  liquidity  was 7.90% or $1.1 million in excess of the
minimum OTS requirement of 5.0%.

                                     - 15 -
<PAGE>
         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 March 31, 1997,  the  Association's  tangible and core capital
both  amounted  to $6.9  million  or 15.39% of  adjusted  total  assets of $44.8
million,  and the Association's  risk-based  capital amounted to $7.0 million or
63.20% of adjusted risk-weighted assets of $11.1 million.

requirements are as indicated in the following table:
