(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

     allocated to participants by a formula based on

     vested after five years.  The ESOP purchased 21,160 shares
     in the Association's conversions.

     -------------------------------
          On April 30, 1998, the shareholders of First Allen

     Plan.  The Stock Option and Incentive Plan provides for
     awards of stock options, stock appreciation  rights and

     obligations under the Stock   Option and Incentive Plan, or

     10,580 shares of common stock were awared to the Chief
     Executive Officer and non-employee directors under the
     Recognition and Retention Plan. Earnings per share amounts
     for the three month period and nine month period ended
     September 30, 1998 are based upon an average of 246,903
     shares. The shares issued to the Employee Stock Ownership
     Plan (ESOP) are not included in this computation until they
     are allocated to plan participants.  Standards under APB-25
     and FAS-123 were followed to compute average shares for the
     stock options and stock awards granted.

(7)  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.  A full-service branch is currently under construction
to replace the LPO in Oberlin, Louisiana and the Association
expects to open for operations effective November 23, 1998. 
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.










<PAGE> 14

     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  pay
assessments at the rate of 6.4 cents  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.

     Legislation recently passed by Congress contains a provision
that repealed the tax bad debt reserve available to Thrifts
including the percentage of taxable income method for tax years
beginning after December 31, 1995.  The Association had to change
to the experience method of computing it's bad debt reserve.  The
legislation required a Thrift to recapture the portion of its bad
debt reserve that exceeds the base year reserve, defined as the
tax reserve as of the last taxable year beginning after 1988.  As
allowed by this legislation, First Federal has deferred the
recapture of this income until December 31, 1998.

Financial Condition
- -------------------
     Consolidated assets of First Allen Parish Bancorp, Inc. were
$34.5 milllion as of September 30, 1998, an increase of $948,000
as compared to December 31, 1997.  At September 30, 1998, total
stockholders' equity was $4.8 million, an increase of $279,000
when compared to stockholders' equity at December 31, 1997.  The
increase in stockholders' equity was a result of increases in
loans and deposits and net income earned during the nine months
ending September 30, 1998. 

     Interest-bearing and non-interest bearing deposits and
investment securities decreased to $1.74 million at September 30,
1998 from $2.14 million  at December 31, 1997, a decrease of
$400,000.  Mortgage backed securities increased slightly to a
total of $17.2 million  at September 30, 1998, from a total of
$17.1 million  as of December 31, 1997.

     Loans receivable increased to $14.6 million on September 30,
1998 from $13.6  million on December 31, 1997, an increase of $1
million.

     Deposits totaled $29.4 million on September 30, 1998 and
$28.7 million on December 31, 1997, an increase of $700,000.

     Other liabilities remained relatively unchanged from
December 31, 1997 to September 30, 1998.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended 
- ----------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1998 and 1997
- ---------------------------

     General.  Net income increased $23,000 to a total of
$106,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from
$83,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997.  This
increase was  due to increased net interest income after
provision(recovery) from loan losses of $26,000 and increased
noninterest income of $19,000 offset by a $15,000 increase in
noninterest expense and $7,000 increase in income taxes. 

     Net Interest Income. Total net interest income increased
$26,000 or 12.2% to $298,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1998 from $272,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1997.  This increase was primarily the result of an increase in
income earned on loans receivable.

     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, 1998 the
Association had no provision or recovery for loan losses.  The
recovery of $1,336 for the three months ended September 30, 1997
was primarily due to recoveries on consumer loans.















<PAGE> 16

     Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income increased $19,000
to $88,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from
$69,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997.  This
increase was primarily due to a $14,000 increase in service
charges on deposits and an increase of $9,000 in loan origination
and servicing fees offset by a $3,000 decrease in other operating
revenue.

     Non-Interest Expense.  Non-interest expense increased
$15,000 or 7% to $228,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1998 from $213,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1998.  This increase was  due to a $10,000 increase in
compensation and employee benefits, a $5,000 increase in
occupancy and equipment expenses a $6,000 increase in stationery
and printing and a $4,000 increase in data processing offset by
an $11,000 decrease in other expenses.

     Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense increased $6,000 or
13.3% to a total of $51,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1998 from an income tax expense of $45,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997.

Comparison of Operating Results for the nine months ended 
- ---------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1998 and 1997.
- ----------------------------

     General.  Net income decreased $36,000 or 14.6% to $210,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $246,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  This decrease was due
to a $68,000 increase in net interest income  and a $32,000
increase in non-interest income offset by a $130,000 increase in
noninterest expenses and a $6,000 increase in income taxes.

     Net interest Income.  Net interest income increased $68,000,
or 8.4% to $876,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
from $808,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

     Provision for Losses on Loans.  The Association experienced
recoveries on loans for which reserves had previously been
established in the amount of $2,760  for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, as compared to no provision or recovery in
1998.

     Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income increased $32,000
or 16.3% to $228,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
from $196,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  This
increase was primarily due to a $31,000 increase in service
charges on deposits and a $7,000 increase in loan origination and
servicing fees offset by a $5,000 decrease in other operating
revenues.

     Non-Interest Expense.  Non-interest expense increased
$130,000 or 20.6% to $760,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 from $630,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997.  This increase was primarily due to an  $87,000 increase in
compensation and employee benefits, a $7,000 increase in occupany
and equipment expenses, a $17,000 increase in stationery and
printing and a $17,000 increase in data processing..

     Income Tax Expenses.  Income tax expense increased $6,000 to
$135,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from
$129,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

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

     At September 30, 1998, non-performing assets were
approximately $155,000 compared to $126,000 on December 31, 1997. 
At September 30, 1998, the Association's allowance for loan
losses was 196% of non performing loans compared to 239% at
December 31, 1997.  

     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, 1998:

</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, 1997, and September 30, 1998, were 8.17% and
7.86%, 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, 1998 and 1997 were $1,479,640 and
$2,554,807, respectively.  The decrease of $1,075,167 was
primarily due to the increase in loans and construction of the
new full-service branch in Oberlin, Louisiana.<PAGE>
