                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

                                 March 31, 1998

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation -

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three months
ended  March 31,  1998  include  the  accounts  of Algiers  Bancorp,  Inc.  (the
"Company"),  its wholly owned  subsidiary,  Algiers  Homestead  Association (the
"Association") and its 51% 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 on its Internet  site.  No
income or expense  for the  activities  of ACI are  reflected  in the  financial
statements included herewith.

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

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 $22,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 based on the annual release of shares.

                     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 March 31, 1998 to December 31, 1997
and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 with the
same period 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  $1.3  million or 2.9% from  $45.3  million at
December 31, 1997 to $46.6 million at March 31, 1998.  The increase in assets is
primarily due to an increase in deposits, loans and investment securities.

         Interest-earning  deposits  in other  banks  and  investments  was $6.2
million at December 31, 1997 and $7.7  million at March 31,  1998.  These assets
currently  provide  a higher  yield  than  mortgage-backed  securities  and have
shorter maturities.

         The mortgage-backed securities portfolio decreased $1.4 million or 4.9%
from $28.4  million at December 31, 1997 to $27.0  million at March 31, 1998, as
the amount of mortgage-backed  securities  maturing and sold exceeded the amount
purchased.  Mortgage-backed  securities  amounted  to $27.0  million or 58.0% of
total  assets at March 31,  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 over the past three
months from $9.2 million at December 31, 1997 to $9.7 million at March 31, 1998.
<PAGE>
         Total deposits increased $1.3 million or 3.7% to $36.8 million at March
31, 1998 from $35.5 million at December 31, 1997.

         Total  stockholders'  equity  declined  slightly  during the past three
months.  Net income of $51,000,  a $7,000 increase in additional paid-in capital
and a  $26,000  increase  in the  reserve  for  unrealized  loss  on  securities
available-for-sale  increased  equity  during the  period,  but these items were
offset by a $31,000 dividend paid, a $31,000  dividend  declared on common stock
and the purchase of $98,000 of treasury stock. Stockholders' equity at March 31,
1998 totaled $9.45 million compared to $9.54 million 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. In each of the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, net interest income before provision
for loan losses was more 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  decreased  by $11,000 or 17.7% in the three
months  ended March 31, 1998 from the three  months  ended March 31,  1997.  The
decrease  was due to a  decrease  of $8,000 or 2.2% in net  interest  income,  a
decrease of $9,000 or 22.0% in non-interest income, and an increase of $5,000 or
1.6% in non-interest  expense which factors were partially  offset by a decrease
of $11,000 or 29.7% in income tax expense.

         Total  interest  income  decreased  by $19,000 or 2.3% during the three
months ending March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ending March 31, 1997,
due to a $1.6 million or 3.6% decrease in average  interest-earning  assets. The
decrease in the average  balance was primarily due the pay off of a $1.0 million
advance  from the  Federal  Home Loan Bank,  a  reduction  in the  Association's
deposit  accounts of $650,000,  the  Company's  repurchase of $334,000 of common
stock  since the first  quarter of 1997 and the payment of  dividends  on common
stock of  $126,000,  partially  offset by an increase  in the  average  yield on
interest-earning  assets from 7.32% in the first quarter of 1997 to 7.36% in the
first quarter of 1998.  Total interest  expense  decreased by $11,000 or 2.5% in
the three months ending March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ending March
31, 1997, primarily due to decreases in FHLB advances of $500,000 and in average
deposits  of  $361,000  or .10% in the  first  three  months  of 1998  over  the
comparable  1997  period.  In  addition,  the average  rate on  interest-bearing
liabilities increased to 4.76% from 4.68% over the same period.

         The  decreased  net interest  income of $8,000 was due to a decrease of
$3.0 million or 6.8% in net average  interest-earning assets in the three months
ending March 31, 1998 over the comparable 1997 period and, to a lesser extent, a
decrease in the  average  interest  rate  spread from 2.64% in the three  months
ending  March 31, 1997 to 2.60% in the three months  ending March 31, 1998.  The
decreased  yield on assets was  primarily  due to a decrease of $3.0  million in
average  interest-earning assets. In the three months ending March 31, 1998, the
Company  used  a  portion  of  its  maturing   mortgage-backed   securities  and
interest-earning  deposits  in  other  banks  to  fund  the  repurchase  of  its
outstanding  common stock for $334,000.  The average rate on deposits  decreased
from 4.68% during the first three months of 1997 to 4.76% during the first three
months of 1998.

          The  Association  had no  provision  or credit for loan  losses in the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. Total  non-performing loans at March
31,  1998 was  $629,000  compared to $636,000  at  December  31,  1997,  and the
allowance for loan losses at March 31, 1998 was $505,000 compared to $485,000 at
December  31, 1997 due to a reduction  in the  specific  reserve for real estate
owned.

         The decrease in non-interest income in the three months ended March 31,
1998 was due to a decrease of $20,000 in recapture of allowance on GIC bonds and
a decrease  of $3,000 in service  charges  and fees,  offset by an  increase  of
$14,000 in gain on sale of investments.

         The $5,000 increase in total  non-interest  expense in the three months
ended March 31, 1998 was due to a $21,000 increase in other operating  expenses,
a $7,000 increase in computer  expenses,  a $5,000 increase in deposit insurance
premiums,  a $4,000  increase in occupancy and equipment  expense,  and a $4,000
increase in FHLB  service  charges,  partially  offset by a $23,000  decrease in
compensation expense, a $9,000 decrease in professional  services,  and a $4,000
recovery of provision for losses on real estate owned.

         The $11,000 or 3.0% decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to
a decrease  of $22,000 or 22.2% in  pre-tax  income for the three  months  ended
March 31, 1998 from the comparable 1997 quarter.

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, of
which  short-term  liquid  assets must consist of not less than 1%. At March 31,
1998,  the  Association's  liquidity  was 19.9% 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 March 31, 1998,  the  Association's  tangible and core capital
both  amounted  to $7.3  million  or 16.24% of  adjusted  total  assets of $44.7
million,  and the Association's  risk-based  capital amounted to $7.4 million or
53.19% of adjusted risk-weighted assets of $12.1 million.

</TABLE>

         Based on the above capital ratios,  the Association  meets the criteria
for a "well  capitalized"  institution  at March  31,  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 will be changed before the
end of the current  year,  the cost of which will be  approximately  $20,000 for
additional training . 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.
