(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 six months ended June 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 six month period ended June 30, 1997 are not
necessary 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 six month period ended June 30, 1997 are based upon an
average of 244,404 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.

                     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.

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 June 30, 1997 the
Association experienced recoveries on loans for which reserves

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 June 30, 1997, were 7.78% and 10.24%,
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 June 30, 1997 and 1996 were $2,243,631 and
$2,430,042, 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.
