                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
                               September 30, 1998

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation -
         The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements for the three and
nine months ended  September  30, 1998 include the accounts of Algiers  Bancorp,
Inc. (the "Company"), its wholly owned subsidiary, Algiers Homestead Association
(the "Association") and its wholly-owned subsidiary,  Algiers.Com,  Inc., L.L.C.
("ACI").  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.  ACI owns a 51% interest in Planet Mortgage, Inc., L.L.C. that is
engaged in the  formation of an Internet site for the  solicitation  of mortgage
loans and the sale of  advertising  space to real estate related  companies.  No
income or expense for the activities of ACI was incurred during this quarter. It
is  anticipated  that the web site will be functional  in the fourth  quarter of
1998.

         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  Conversion  was accounted for under the pooling of interests
method of accounting.

         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,
1998 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1998.

Note 2 - Available for Sale Securities-

         A new  accounting  standard  SFAS No.  133  allows  the  transfer  from
investments held-to-maturity to investments available-for-sale.  As of September
30, 1998 the Company adopted this new standard and transferred  $19.8 million of
mortgage-backed   securities  from   held-to-maturity   to   available-for-sale.
Investments and mortgage-backed  securities  available-for-sale at September 30,
1998 and December 31, 1997 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Note 3 - 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 Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition.

         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 $42,000 and $52,000 for the nine
months  ended  September  30, 1998 and 1997,  respectively,  based on the annual
release of shares.

Note 4 - Management Recognition Plan-

         On July 18, 1997,  the Company  established  the 1997  Recognition  and
Retention Plan as an incentive to retain  personnel of experience and ability in
key positions. A total of 25,921 shares of stock of the Company will be acquired
by the Plan.

         Plan  share  awards are  earned by  recipients  at a rate of 20% of the
aggregate  number  of  shares  awarded  by the  plan  over  five  years.  If the
employment  of an employee or service as a  non-employee  director is terminated
prior to the fifth  anniversary  of the date of grant of a plan share  award for
any reason other than death,  disability  or  retirement,  the  recipient  shall
forfeit the right to any shares subject to the award which have not been earned.
During the nine months  ended  September  30, 1998, a total of 4,502 shares were
awarded under the Plan.  Those shares will be taken from the treasury  stock the
Company  currently  owns until such time as the total number of shares under the
Plan can be purchased. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, $12,000 was
included in compensation expense for the shares awarded under the Plan in 1998.

                     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, 1998 to December 31,
1997 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1998 with the same periods in 1997.  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.

         This  quarterly   report   includes   statements  that  may  constitute
forward-looking statements,  usually containing the words "believe," "estimate,"
"project," "expect," "intend" or similar expressions.  These statements are made
pursuant to the safe harbor  provisions  of the  Private  Securities  Litigation
Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking  statements  inherently  involve  risks and
uncertainties  that could cause actual results to differ  materially  from those
reflected  in the  forward-looking  statements.  Factors that could cause future
results to vary from current  expectations  include, but are not limited to, the
following:  changes in economic conditions (both generally and more specifically
in the  markets  in which the  Company  operates);  changes in  interest  rates,
deposit  flows,  loan demand,  real estate  values and  competition;  changes in
accounting principles,  policies or guidelines and in government legislation and
regulation  (which  change  from time to time and over which the  Company has no
control); and other risks detailed in this quarterly report and in the Company's
other public filings. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking  statements,  which reflect management's analysis only as of the
date hereof.  The Company  undertakes  no  obligation  to publicly  revise these
forward-looking  statements to reflect events or circumstances  that arise after
the date hereof.

Changes in Financial Condition

         Total  assets  increased  $2.1  million or 4.6% from  $45.3  million at
December 31, 1997 to $47.4 million at September 30, 1998. The increase in assets
is primarily  due to an increase in deposits,  loans and  investment  securities
available for sale.

         Interest-earning  deposits  in other  banks and  investments  was $10.6
million at  September  30, 1998 and $6.2  million at  December  31,  1997.  This
increase was due to the purchase of $6.1 million of investment securities during
the nine months ending  September  30, 1998.  These assets  currently  provide a
higher yield than mortgage-backed securities and have shorter maturities.

         The  mortgage-backed  securities  portfolio  decreased  $3.5 million or
12.3% from $28.4  million at December 31, 1997 to $24.9 million at September 30,
1998, as the amount of  mortgage-backed  securities  maturing  increased and new
mortgage-backed   securities   purchased  increased  slightly.   Mortgage-backed
securities  amounted to $24.9  million or 52.5% of total assets at September 30,
1998, compared to $28.4 million or 62.7% of total assets at December 31, 1997.

         Due to an increase in the demand for  single-family  mortgage  loans in
the  Association's  market area, the loan portfolio  increased  $700,000 or 7.6%
over the past nine months from $9.2 million at December 31, 1997 to $9.9 million
at September 30, 1998.
<PAGE>
         Total  deposits  increased  $2.4  million  or 6.8% to $37.9  million at
September  30, 1998 from $35.5  million at December 31,  1997.  The increase was
primarily in certificate of deposit accounts.

         Total  stockholders'  equity  declined by $293,000 during the past nine
months.  Net income was $185,000,  and additional paid -in capital  increased by
$14,000,  but these  items were  offset by the  purchase of $432,000 of treasury
stock,  an $11,000  decrease in the reserve for  unrealized  loss on  securities
available-for-sale  during the period, and a $29,000 dividend declared on common
stock. Stockholders' equity at September 30, 1998 totaled $9.24 million or 19.5%
of total assets  compared to $9.54  million or 21.1% of total assets at December
31, 1997.

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. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1998, net interest  income before  provision for loan
losses was more than total  non-interest  expense.  During the nine months ended
September 30, 1997,  net interest  income  before  provision for loan losses was
nominally less than total  non-interest  expense due to the additional  expenses
incurred in  connection  with the benefit plans that were adopted as a result of
the  conversion  to stock.  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.


                                      -11-
<PAGE>
         The Company's net income for the three months ended  September 30, 1998
increased  $115,000 or 328.6%  compared to the three months ended  September 30,
1997. The increase was due to an increase of $4,000 or .53% in interest  income,
a decrease of $96,000 or 26.1% in non-interest expense and a decrease of $50,000
or 71.4% in income tax expense partially offset by a $31,000 or 7.1% increase in
interest expense and a decrease of $4,000 or 4.9% in non-interest income.

         The Company's  net income for the nine months ended  September 30, 1998
increased $57,000 or 44.5% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
The  increase was due to an increase of $28,000 or 12.1% in interest  income,  a
decrease of 141,000 or 13.6% in  non-interest  expense and a decrease of $61,000
or 50.0% in income tax expense  partially  offset by a $23,000 or 17.4% increase
in interest expense and a decrease of $145,000 or 48.5% in non-interest income.

         Total  interest  income  increased  by $28,000 or 1.2%  during the nine
months ended  September 30, 1998 compared to the nine months ended September 30,
1997,  due to an increase in the average yield on  interest-earning  assets from
6.77% in the first  nine  months of 1997 to 7.13% in the  first  nine  months of
1998.  The higher  yield was  partially  offset by a  $300,000  million or 7.06%
decrease in average interest-earning assets. The decrease in the average balance
was primarily due to the pay off of a $1.5 million advance from the Federal Home
Loan Bank,  the Company's  repurchase of $432,000 of common stock since December
31, 1997 and the payment of dividends on common stock of $89,000. Total interest
expense  decreased by $23,000 or 1.7% in the nine months  ending  September  30,
1998  compared to the nine months ending  September  30, 1997,  primarily due to
decreases  in FHLB  advances  of  $600,000  million  and a  decrease  in average
deposits  of  $839,000  or 2.3% in the  first  nine  months  of  1998  over  the
comparable  1997 period.  The lower average  balance was partially  offset by an
increase the average rate on  interest-bearing  liabilities  to 4.86% from 4.77%
over the same period in 1997.

         The increased  net interest  income of $5,000 was due to an increase in
the average  interest rate spread to 2.27% in the first nine months of 1998 from
2.00% in the first nine months of 1997.  The higher spread was partially  offset
by a decrease of $295,000 or .70% in net average  interest-earning assets in the
nine months  ended  September  30, 1998 over the  comparable  1997  period.  The
average  yield on  interest-earning  assets  increased  to 7.13% during the nine
months ended  September  30, 1998 compared to 6.77% during the nine months ended
September  30,  1997.  The  increased  yield on assets was  primarily  due to an
increase in the average rate earned on  investments.  In the nine months  ending
September 30, 1998,  the Company used a portion of its maturing  mortgage-backed
securities and  interest-earning  deposits in other banks to fund the repurchase
of $432,000 of its  outstanding  common  stock and to purchase  $6.1  million of
investments  issued by agencies  of the U.S.  Government.  The  average  rate on
deposits  increased  from 4.77%  during  the first nine  months of 1997 to 4.86%
during the first nine months of 1998.

         During the quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period
of 1997,  non-interest  income  decreased $4,000 due to a decrease of $36,000 in
miscellaneous  income a  decrease  of  $10,000  in gain on sale of  investments,
partially offset by a $42,000 increase in service charges and fees.

         The  Association had no provision or credit for loan losses in the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1998  and  1997.  Total  non-performing  loans at
September 30, 1998 were $771,000  compared to $636,000 at December 31, 1997, and
the  allowance  for loan losses at September  30, 1998 was $506,000  compared to
$485,000  at December  31, 1997  attributable  to a  reduction  in the  specific
reserve  for real  estate  owned  due to the  sale of  property  that was  fully
reserved.
<PAGE>
         The decrease in non-interest  income in the nine months ended September
30,  1998 was due to a decrease  of $60,000 in  recapture  of  allowance  on GIC
bonds,  a decrease of $54,000 in recovery of GIC bonds  previously  written off,
and a decrease of $8,000 in service  charges and fees,  offset by an increase of
$20,000 in gain on sale of investments.

         The $141,000 decrease in total non-interest  expense in the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 was due to a $169,000 decrease in compensation expense,
a $8,000  decrease in occupancy  and  equipment  expense,  a $3,000  decrease in
professional  services,  a  decrease  of $4,000 in FHLB  service  charges  and a
$10,000  recovery of provision for losses on real estate owned partially  offset
by a  $24,000  increase  in other  expenses,  a  $19,000  increase  in  computer
expenses, a $7,000 increase in deposit insurance premiums, and a $3,000 increase
in real estate owned expenses.

         Total non-interest  expense decreased $91,000 in the three months ended
September 30, 1998 compared to the three months ended  September 30, 1997 due to
a $82,000 decrease in compensation  expense,  a $15,000 decrease in professional
services,  an $11,000  decrease  in other  expenses,  a $4,000  decrease in FHLB
service  charges and a $1,000  decrease in occupancy  and  equipment,  partially
offset by a $12,000  increase in computer  expenses,  a $3,000  increase in real
estate owned expenses,  and a $2,000 increase in deposit insurance premiums. The
reduction in the expenses for the three months ending  September 30, 1998 is the
result of the closing of the Company's  subsidiary  Jefferson Community Lending,
LLC.

         The $56,000 or 45.9%  decrease in income tax expense was  primarily due
to an increase of $57,000 or 44.5% in pre-tax  income for the nine months  ended
September 30, 1998 from the comparable 1997 period.

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  4% of  its  average  daily  balance  of net
withdrawable  deposit  accounts and  borrowings  payable in one year or less. At
September  30, 1998,  the  Association's  liquidity was 19.3% or $5.6 million in
excess of the minimum OTS requirement of 4%.

         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, 1998, the Association's tangible and core capital
both  amounted  to $7.4  million  or 16.14% of  adjusted  total  assets of $46.0
million,  and the Association's  risk-based  capital amounted to $7.3 million or
63.03% of adjusted risk-weighted assets of $12.0 million.

         As of  September  30,  1998,  the  Association's  unaudited  regulatory
capital requirements are as indicated in the following table:

</TABLE>

         Based on the above capital ratios,  the Association  meets the criteria
for a "well  capitalized"  institution at September 30, 1998. 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.

The Year 2000

         The Company is currently  addressing  the computer and data  processing
issues relating to the Year 2000.  Management has completed the assessment phase
and certain hardware and software,  which is not Year 2000 compliant,  have been
identified which will have to be replaced at a cost of approximately $15,000. In
addition,  the  Association's  on-line data  processor has been replaced with an
in-house system that is Year 2000  compliant.  The additional cost of conversion
will be approximately $20,000 for additional training and implementation.  As of
September 30, 1998 approximately  $15,000 has been spent on Year 2000 issues. It
is  management's  opinion that issues related to the Year 2000 are not likely to
have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity,  capital resources or
results of operations on a consolidated basis.

Common Stock Repurchase Plan

         On March 12, 1997, the Company  received  permission from the Office of
Thrift  Supervision  ("OTS") to  repurchase  up to 32,401  shares or 5.0% of the
Company's  then  outstanding  common  stock.  Pursuant to the plan,  the Company
purchased 29,901 shares of its common stock on April 1, 1997 and 2,500 shares of
its common stock on May 7, 1997.  These two purchases  have fulfilled the number
of shares approved by the OTS.
<PAGE>
         On October 15, 1997, the Company  received  permission  from the OTS to
repurchase up to 30,781 shares or 5.0% of the Company's then outstanding  common
stock.  Several  purchases of the Company's  common stock were made and the 5.0%
repurchase was completed on April 3, 1998.

         The  OTS  granted  the  Company  permission  on  September  3,  1998 to
repurchase  approximately  14% of the Company's  outstanding  common stock.  The
approval  included  21,419 shares to fund the 1997  Management  Recognition  and
Retention Plan and shares for general  corporate  purposes.  As of September 30,
1998 the Company has not purchased any of these shares.
