                                   (Unaudited)

                               September 30, 1997

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation -

         The accompanying  consolidated financial statements for the nine months
ended  September  30, 1997 include the accounts of Algiers  Bancorp,  Inc.  (the
"Company"),  its wholly owned  subsidiary,  Algiers  Homestead  Association (the
"Association") and its 70% 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 September 27, 1996, and the subscription  and community  offering closed
on September 24, 1996.

                               September 30, 1997

         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 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 nine months ended September 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 the ESOP 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 $52,000 for the nine months ended
September 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 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 September 30, 1997,  the premium
reduction should result in a pre-tax cost savings of  approximately  $60,000 per
year for the Association, or approximately $.07 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 September 30, 1997 to December 31,
1996 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
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  $2.9  million or 6.0% from  $48.2  million at
December 31, 1996 to $45.3 million at September 30, 1997. The decrease in assets
is primarily due to a decrease in mortgage-backed securities partially offset by
increases in total  investments and in cash and cash  equivalents and a decrease
in Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank.

         Interest-earning  investments in other institutions was $3.3 million at
December 31, 1996 and $4.0 million at September 30, 1997. These assets provide a
higher yield than mortgage-backed securities and have shorter maturities.

         The  mortgage-backed  securities  portfolio  decreased  $3.9 million or
11.9% from $32.9  million at December 31, 1996 to $29.0 million at September 30,
1997, as the amount of mortgage-backed securities maturing and sold exceeded the
amount purchased.  Mortgage-backed securities amounted to $29.0 million or 64.0%
of total assets at September  30,  1997,  compared to $32.9  million or 68.3% of
total assets at September 30, 1996.

         Due to a slowing in the demand for mortgage loans in the  Association's
market area,  the loan  portfolio  increased  only  slightly  over the past nine
months from $9.2 million to $9.3 million.

         Total  deposits  decreased  $1.1  million  or 3.0% to $35.5  million at
September  30, 1997 from $36.6  million at December 31, 1996.  This decrease was
due primarily to the Association not paying the inflated interest rates that are
available elsewhere in our local market.



                                       13
<PAGE>
         Total  stockholders'  equity decreased by $355,000 during the past nine
months. Net income of $128,000, a $13,000 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,  but these items were
offset by a $62,000 dividend paid, a $31,000  dividend  declared on common stock
and the  purchase  of  $451,000  of  treasury  stock.  Stockholders'  equity  at
September 30, 1997 totaled $9.4 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 nine months ended  September  30, 1997 and 1996,  net interest  income
before provision for loan losses was less than total non-interest expense. 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  increased  by $42,000 or 48.8% for the nine
months ending  September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period ended September
30,  1996.  The  increase was due to an increase of $38,000 or 16.7% in interest
income, an increase of $138,000 or 46.2% in non-operating income, an increase of
$125,000 or 13.5% in non-interest  expenses offset by an increase of $111,000 or
79.9% in income taxes and a decrease of $60,000 or 4.5% in interest expense.

         The Company's net loss improved by $53,000 or 59.6% in the three months
ended  September 30, 1997 from the three months ended  September  30, 1996.  The
improvement was due to a decrease of $107,000 or 22.5% in  non-interest  expense
and an increase of $58,000 or 241.7% in non-interest  income, which factors were
mostly offset by a decrease of $43,000 or 11.8% in net interest  income and by a
$69,000 increase in income tax expense. 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.



                                       14
<PAGE>

         Total  interest  income  increased  by $38,000 or 1.7%  during the nine
months ending  September  30, 1997 compared to the nine months ending  September
30,  1996,  due to the increase in the average  yield.  Total  interest  expense
decreased  by $60,000  or 4.4% in the nine  months  ending  September  30,  1997
compared to the nine months  ending  September  30, 1996,  primarily  due to the
decrease in the average balance of deposit accounts.  Average deposits decreased
by $3.2  million  or 8.1% in the nine  months of 1997 over the  comparable  1996
period.

         Total  interest  income  decrease  by $67,000 or 8.9%  during the three
months ending  September 30, 1997 compared to the three months ending  September
30, 1996, due to a decrease in the balance of mortgage-backed securities.  Total
interest expense  decreased $24,000 or 5.2% in the three months ending September
30, 1997 compared to the three months ending September 30, 1996 primarily due to
the decrease in the average balance of deposit accounts.

         The decrease in deposit  accounts was due  primarily to funds that were
on deposit in the first six months of 1996 that were  withdrawn for the purchase
of stock in Algiers Bancorp, Inc. in the conversion.

         The  increased  net  interest  income  was due to an  increase  of $1.9
million or 4.5% in net average interest-earning assets in the nine months ending
September 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 2.54% in
the nine months  ending  September  30, 1996 to 2.22% in the nine months  ending
September 30, 1997. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased from 7.21% in
the first nine months of 1996 to 7.02% in the first nine  months of 1997,  while
the average rate on interest-bearing  liabilities  increased from 4.67% to 4.80%
over  the  same  period.  During  the  third  quarter  of  1997,  the  yield  on
interest-earning  assets  decreased to 6.94% from 7.55% in the third  quarter of
1996,  while the average rate on  interest-bearing  liabilities  increased  from
4.54% 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 nine months  ending  September  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 4.93%  during the first nine months of 1996 to 4.98%  during the
first nine months of 1997, and the average rate on FHLB advances  increased from
4.35% to 6.84% over the same period.



                                       15
<PAGE>


         The increase in non-interest  income in the nine months ended September
30, 1997 was due to an increase of $61,000 in service  charges and fees,  and an
increase of $57,000 in miscellaneous  income,  partially offset by a decrease of
$17,000 in gain on sale of investments  and a decrease of $5,000 in recapture of
allowance on GIC bonds.

         During the  quarter  ending  September  30,  1997  compared to the same
period of 1996,  non-interest  income increased due to an increase of $10,000 in
gain on sale of investments, an increase of $15,000 in service charges and fees,
and a $33,000 increase in miscellaneous income.

         The  Association had no provision or credit for loan losses in the nine
months ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996.  Total  non-performing  loans totaled
$511,000 at September  30, 1997,  and the allowance for loan losses at such date
was $525,000.

         The  increase in total  non-interest  expense in the nine months  ended
September 30, 1997 was due to a $240,000  increase in  compensation  expense,  a
$52,000 increase in occupancy and equipment  expense and a $135,000  increase in
other operating expenses. The increases in these expense accounts are associated
with the  costs of the  Company's  70%  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 $297,000 in deposit
insurance  premiums,  due to the one-time,  special SAIF  assessment in the 1996
period.

         Total  non-interest   expense  decreased  in  the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended  September 30, 1996 due to
a $250,000 decrease in deposit insurance premiums partially offset by an $88,000
increase in compensation  expense, a $12,000 increase in occupancy and equipment
expense and a $43,000 increase in other operating expenses.

         The increases in income tax expense in the 1997 periods were  primarily
due to an increase  of  $111,000 or 79.9% in pre-tax  income for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and an increase of $122,000 or 138.6% in pre-tax income
for the quarter ended September 30, 1997.


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 September
30, 1997, the Association's  liquidity was 8.9% or $3.1 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 September 30, 1997, the Association's tangible and core capital
both  amounted  to $7.1  million  or 14.91% of  adjusted  total  assets of $43.5
million,  and the Association's  risk-based  capital amounted to $7.3 million or
54.22% of adjusted risk-weighted assets of $10.9 million.

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