(1)  First Allen Parish Bancorp, Inc.
     --------------------------------

          First Allen Parish Bancorp, Inc. (the "Corporation")
     was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware for 
     the purpose of becoming the savings and loan holding company 
     of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Allen       
     Parish (the Association"), in connection with the            
     Association's conversion from a federally chartered mutual   
     savings association to a federally chartered stock savings   
     association, pursuant to its Plan of Conversion.  On August  
     9, 1996, the Corporation commenced a Subscription and        
     Community Offering of its shares in connection with the      
     conversion of the Association (the "Offering").  The         
     Offering was consummated and the Corporation acquired the
     Association on September 27, 1996.  It should be noted that  
     the Corporation had no assets prior to the conversion and    
     acquisition on September 27, 1996.

          The accompanying consolidated financial statements as
     of and for the three months ended and nine months ended      
     September 30, 1997, include the accounts of the Corporation  
     and the Association.

(2)  Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
     ------------------------------------

          All employees meeting age and service requirements are  
     eligible to participate in an ESOP established on
     January 1, 1996.    Contributions made by the Association    
     to the ESOP are allocated to    participants by a formula    
     based on compensation.  Participant benefits become 100      
     percent vested after five years.  The ESOP purchased 21,160
     shares in the Association's conversions.

(3)  Basis of Preparation
     --------------------
          The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
     statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for 
     Form 10-Q.  To the extent that information and footnotes     
     required by generally accepted accounting principles for     
     complete financial statements are contained in the audited   
     financial statements included in the Association's audit     
     report for the year ended December 31, 1996, such            
     information and footnotes have not been duplicated herein.   
     In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting    
     only of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for   
     the fair presentation of the interim financial statements    
     have been included.  The statements of earnings for the      
     three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997
     are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be
     expected for the entire year.

(4)  Earnings Per Share
     ------------------

          On September 27, 1996, 264,506 shares of the
     Corporation's stock were issued, including 21,160 shares     
     issued to the ESOP. Earnings per share amounts for the three 
     month period and nine month period ended September 30, 1997  
     are based upon an average of 244,463 shares. The shares      
     issued to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) are not   
     included in this computation until they are allocated to     
     plan participants.

(5)  Stockholders' Equity and Stock Conversion
     -----------------------------------------

          The Association converted from a federally chartered
     mutual savings association to a federally chartered stock    
     savings association pursuant to its Plan of Conversion which 
     was approved by the Association's members on September 18,   
     1996.  The conversion was effective on September 27, 1996    
     and resulted in the issuance of 264,506 shares of common     
     stock (par value $0.01) at $10 per share for a gross sales   
     price of $2,645,060.  Costs related to conversion (primarily 
     underwriters' commissions, printing, and professional fees)  
     approximated $272,131 and were deducted to arrive at the net 
     proceeds of $2,372,929.  The Corporation established an      
     employee stock ownership trust which purchased 21,160 shares 
     of common stock of the Corporation at the issuance price of  
     $10 per share with funds borrowed from the holding company.

               FIRST ALLEN PARISH BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                    Management's Discussion and Analysis
               of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General
- -------
     First Allen Parish Bancorp, Inc. (the "Corporation") was
incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware to become a
savings and loan holding company with First Federal Savings and
Loan Association of Allen Parish (the "Association") of Oakdale,
Louisiana, as its subsidiary.  The Corporation was incorporated
at the direction of the Board of Directors of the Association,
and on September 27, 1996, acquired all of the capital stock of
the Association upon its conversion from mutual to stock form
(the "conversion").  Prior to the conversion, the Corporation did
not engage in any material operations and at September 30, 1996,
had no significant assets other than the investment in the
capital stock of the Association, the First Allen Parish Bancorp
loan to the employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), representing a
portion of the net proceeds from the conversion retained at the
holding company level and investments in mortgage backed
securities.  

     First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Allen Parish
was originally founded in 1962 as a federally chartered mutual
savings and loan association located in Oakdale, Louisiana.  On
September 18, 1996, the Association members voted to convert the
Association to a federal stock institution.  The Association
conducts its business through its main office in Oakdale,
Louisiana and a Loan Production Office(LPO) located in Oberlin,
Louisiana.  Deposits are insured by the Savings Association
Insurance Fund (SAIF) to the maximum allowable.

     The Association has been, and intends to continue to be, a
community-oriented financial institution offering selected
financial services to meet the needs of the communities it
serves.  The Association attracts deposits from the general
public and historically has used such deposits, together with
other funds, to originate loans secured by real estate, including
one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, commercial real
estate loans, land loans, construction loans and loans secured by
other properties.  The Association also originates consumer and
other loans consisting primarily of loans secured by automobiles,
manufactured homes, loans secured by deposits (share loans) and
lines of credit.

     The most significant outside factors influencing the
operations of the Association and other financial institutions
include general economic conditions, competition in the local
market place and the related monetary and fiscal policies of
agencies that regulate financial   institutions.    More 
specifically,  the  cost  of funds primarily consisting of
insured deposits is influenced by interest rates on competing
investments and general market rates of interest, while lending
activities are influenced by the demand for real estate financing
and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by the
interest rates at which such loans may be offered and other
factors affecting loan demand and funds availability.

     Deposits of the Association are currently insured by the
SAIF of the FDIC.  The FDIC also maintains another insurance
fund, the Bank Insurance Fund, which primarily insures commercial
bank deposits.  Applicable law requires that both the SAIF and
BIF funds be recapitalized to a ratio of 1.25% of reserves to
deposits, and the FDIC announced that the BIF reached the
required reserve ratio during May 1995.  The SAIF, however, was
not expected to achieve that reserve ratio before 2002.  Due to
the disparity in reserve ratios, on November 14, 1995, the FDIC
reduced annual assessments for BIF-insured institutions to the
legal minimum of $2,000 while SAIF-insured institutions continued
to pay assessments based on a schedule of from $0.23 to $.031 per
$100 of deposits.

     In September 1996, Congress enacted legislation to
recapitalize the SAIF by a one-time assessment on all
SAIF-insured deposits held as of March 31, 1995.  The assessment
was 65.7 basis points per $100 in deposits, payable by November
30, 1996.  For the Association, the assessment resulted in a
one-time charge to earnings during the three months ended
September 30, 1996 in the amount of $170,020 or ($112,213 when
adjusted for taxes), based on the Association's deposits on March
31, 1995 of $25,878,177.  In addition, beginning  January 1,
1997, pursuant to the legislation, interest payments on bonds
("FICO Bonds") issued in the late 1980s by the Financing
Corporation ("FICO") to recapitalize the now defunct Federal
Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation are being paid jointly by
BIF-insured institutions and SAIF insured institutions. The FICO
assessment is 1.29 basis points per $100 in BIF deposits and 6.44
basis points per $100 in SAIF deposits.  Beginning January 1,
2000, the FICO interest payments will be paid pro rata by banks
and thrifts based on deposits (approximately 2.4 basis points per
$100 in deposits).  The BIF and SAIF will be merged on January 1,
1999, provided the bank and savings association charters are
merged by that date.  In that event, pro-rata FICO sharing will
begin on January 1, 1999.

     While the legislation has reduced the disparity between
premiums paid on BIF deposits and SAIF deposits, and has relieved
the thrift industry of a portion of the contingent liability
represented by the FICO bonds, the premium disparity between
SAIF-insured institutions, such as the Association, and
BIF-insured institutions will continue until at least January 1,
1999.  Under the  legislation,  the Association anticipates that
its ongoing annual SAIF premiums will be approximately $17,000.

     The Congress is also considering requiring all federal
thrift institutions, such as the Association, to either convert
to a national bank or a state chartered depository institution by
January 1, 1998.  In addition, the Corporation may no longer be
regulated as a thrift holding company, but rather as a bank
holding company.  The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) also
would be abolished and its functions transferred among the
federal banking regulators.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

     Consolidated assets of First Allen Parish Bancorp, Inc. were
$33,272,922 as of September 30, 1997, an increase of $1,738,052
as compared to December 31, 1996.  At September 30, 1997, total
stockholders' equity was $4,556,524, an increase of $237,057 when
compared to stockholders' equity at December 31, 1996.  The
increase in stockholders' equity was a result of increases in
deposits and net income earned during the nine months ending
September 30, 1997. Net Interest Income. Total net interest
income increased $29,573 or 12.2% to $272,162 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from $242,589 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996.  This increase was primarily the
result of an increase in income earned on loans receivable and
mortgage-backed securities offset by an increase in the average
cost of deposits.

     Interest-bearing and non-interest bearing deposits and
investment securities increased to $2,814,107 at September 30,
1997 from $1,733,505 at December 31, 1996, an increase of
$1,080,602.  Mortgage backed securities decreased $550,886 to a
total of $16,634,449 at September 30, 1997, from a total of
$17,185,335 as of December 31, 1996.

     Loans receivable increased to $13,063,451 on September 30,
1997 from $11,937,990 on December 31, 1996, an increase of
$1,125,461.

     Deposits totaled $28,400,825 on September 30, 1997 and
$25,749,999 on December 31, 1996, an increase of $2,650,826.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended
- ----------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1997 and 1996
- ---------------------------

     General.  Net income increased $119,179 to a total of
$83,098 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from a loss
of $36,081 for the three months ended September 30, 1996.  This
increase was primarily due to the one-time SAIF assessment of
$170,000 expensed in September of 1996.

     Net Interest Income. Total net interest income increased
$29,573 or 12.2% to $272,162 for the three months ended September
30, 1997 from $242,589 for the three months ended September 30,
1996.  This increase was primarily the result of an increase in
income earned on loans receivable and mortgage-backed securities
offset by an increase in the average cost of deposits.

     Provision for Losses on Loans.  The Association maintains an
allowance for loan losses based upon management's periodic
evaluation of known and inherent risk in the loan portfolio, the
Association's past loss experience, adverse situations that may
affect the borrower's ability to repay loans, estimated value of
the underlying collateral and current and expected market
conditions.  During the three months ended September 30, 1997 the
Association experienced recoveries on loans for which reserves
had previously been established.  The provision and recovery of
$1,336 and $1,722 for the three months ended September 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively were primarily due to losses and
recoveries on consumer loans.













































<PAGE> 15

     Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income decreased $343 to
$68,821 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from
$69,164 for the three months ended September 30, 1996.  This
decrease was primarily due to a $3,319 decrease in service
charges on deposits, offset by an increase of $2,825 in loan
origination and servicing fees.

     Non-Interest Expense.  Non-interest expense decreased
$156,084 or 42.3% to $213,170 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 from $369,154 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996.  This decrease was primarily due to the
one-time SAIF assessment of $170,000 in 1996.  Total SAIF
premiums decreased $181,275 to $4,279 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 from $185,554 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996.  This decrease in non-interest expense was
offset by an increase of $22,876 in other expenses and an
increase of $3,477 in data processing..

     Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense increased $66,133 to
a total of $44,813 for the three months ended September 30, 1997
from an income tax benefit of $21,320 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996.

Comparison of Operating Results for the nine months ended
- ---------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1997 and 1996.
- ----------------------------

     General.  Net income increased $145,842 or 146% to $245,918
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $100,076 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  This increase was
primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $89,193
and a decrease of $131,857 in non-interest expenses offset by an
increase in income taxes of $76,700.

     Net interest Income.  Net interest income increased $89,193,
or 12.4% to $807,794 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
from $718,601 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

     Provision for Losses on Loans.  The Association experienced
recoveries on loans for which reserves had previously been
established in the amounts of $2,760 and $11,183 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income increased $1,492
or .8% to $196,452 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
from $194,960 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  

     Non-Interest Expense.  Non-interest expense decreased
$131,857 or 17.3% to $629,628 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 from $761,485 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996.  This decrease was primarily due to a $203,436 decrease in
SAIF deposit insurance premiums, offset by a $21,569 increase in
compensation and employee benefits, a $6,583 increase in
occupancy and equipment expenses and a $47,157 increase in other
expenses.

     Income Tax Expenses.  Income tax expense increased $76,700
to $128,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from
$52,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

Non-Performing Assets
- ---------------------

     At September 30, 1997, non-performing assets were
approximately $198,111 compared to $119,000 on December 31, 1996. 
At September 30, 1997, the Association's allowance for loan
losses was 160% of non performing loans compared to 249% at
December 31, 1996.  

     Loans are considered non-performing when the collection of
principal and/or interest is not probable, or in the event
payments are more than 90 days delinquent.

Capital Resources
- -----------------

     The Association is subject to three capital to asset
requirements in accordance with Office of Thrift Supervision
(OTS) regulations.  The following table is a summary of the
Association's regulatory capital requirements versus actual
capital as of September 30, 1997:

</TABLE>

Liquidity
- ---------

     The Association's principal sources of funds are deposits,
principal and interest payments on loans, deposits in other
insured institutions, and investment securities.  While scheduled
loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively
predictable, deposit flows and early loan payments are more
influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and
competition. Additional sources of funds may be obtained from the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas by utilizing numerous available
products to meet funding needs.

     The Association is required to maintain minimum levels of
liquid assets as defined by regulations.  The required percentage
is currently five percent of net withdrawable savings deposits
and borrowings payable on demand or in one year or less.  The
Association has maintained its liquidity ratio at levels
exceeding the minimum requirement.  The eligible liquidity ratios
at December 31, 1996, and September 30, 1997, were 7.78% and
9.02%, respectively.

     For purposes of the cash flows, all short-term investments
with a maturity of three months or less at date of purchase are
considered cash equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents for the
periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 were $2,554,807 and
$2,979,851, respectively.  The decrease was primarily due to the
net cash used in investing activities for loan originations and
purchase of mortgage-backed securities along with cash provided
by financing activities from issuance of 264,506 shares of .01
par value common stock at $10 per share.
