(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 March 31, 1999, include  
     the accounts of the Corporation and the Association.

          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 oncompensation. 
     Participant  benefits  become  100 percent vested after five
     years. The ESOP purchased 21,160 shares in the Association's 
     conversions.   At  March  31,  1999,  5,290  shares had been 
     allocated  to  participants, with 15,870 shares unallocated.

     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, 1998,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 months
     ended March 31, 1999 are  not  necessarily indicative of the

     shares outstanding.

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

     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.   T he  conversion  was  effective  on 
     September  27,  1996 and  resulted inthe 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

         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 thecapital stock of the Association,   
    the First Allen Parish Bancorp loan to the  employee  stock 
    ownership plan  (ESOP),  representing  aportion  of the net   
    proceeds  from  the  conversion  retained  at  the  holding 
    company level and investments in mortgage backedsecurities.  

          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 full-service   
    branch in Oberlin,Louisiana and a Loan ProductionOffice(LPO)  
    located in Kinder, 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.











































<PAGE> 10

     The  FDIC  is  authorized  to   establish   separate  annual
assessment rates for deposit insurance for members of the BIF and
members of the SAIF.  The FDIC may  increase assessment rates for
either fund if necessary to restore  the fund's ratio of reserves
to insured deposits to the target level within a reasonable time,
and may decrease these rates  if  the  target level has been met. 
The FDIC has established a  risk-based assessment system for both
SAIF  and  BIF  members.   Under  this  system,  assessments vary
depending on the  risk  the  institution  poses  to  its  deposit
insurance fund.  An institutions's risk level is determined based
on  its  capital  levels, and  the  FDIC's  level  of supervisory
concern about the institution.

     In 1996, federal legislation was enacted to recapitalize the
SAIF and eliminate the significant premium disparity  between the
BIF and the SAIF.   Under  the  law,  the Association  and  other
institutions  with  SAIF-insured deposits were charged a one-time
special  assessment  equal  to  $0.657  per  $100  of  assessable
deposits at March 31,  1995.   The  Association  recognized  this
special  assessment  as  a  charge  to  noninterest   expense  of
$170,000(or $112,000 when adjusted  for  taxes)  during  the year
ended December 31, 1996.  The  assessment was fully deducible for
both federal and state income tax purposes.  Assessment rates for
regular ongoing, deposit  insurance premiums currently range from
0.0% of deposits for an institution in the highest category(i.e.,
well-capitalized  and  financially sound, with no more than a few
minor weaknesses)  to 0.27% of deposits for an institution in the
lowest    category(i.e.,   undercapitalized    and   substantial
supervisory   consent).   The  Association's assessment rate for
deposit  insurance was  0.23%  of  deposits for 1996, and it was
reduced  to 0.0% of  deposits beginning on January 1, 1997.  The
FDIC is authorized to raise the assessment rates as necessary to
maintain  the  required reserve ratio of 1.25%, and both the BIF
and  the  SAIF  currently satisfy the reserve ratio requirement.
The annual  rate  of assessments of SAIF-assessable deposits for
the payments  on  the FICO bonds was 0.0648% for the semi-annual
period beginning on January 1, 1997; 0.0630% for the semi-annual
period beginning  on  July  1, 1997; and 0.0622% currently.  The
1996 law also provides for the merger of the SAIF and the BIF by
1999,  but  not  until such time as bank and thrift charters are
combined.  Until the charters are combined, savings associations
with SAIF deposits  may not transfer deposits to the BIF without
paying various  exit  and  entrance  fees, and SAIF institutions
will continue  to  pay  higher  FICO assessments.  Such exit and
entrance fees need not be paid if a SAIF institution converts to
a bank charter  or  merges with a bank, as long as the resulting
bank continues  to  pay  applicable insurance assessments to the
SAIF, and as long as certain other conditions are met.  


     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 Internal  Revenue Code, the Company is allowed to
deduct an  experience  method bad debt deduction based on actual
charge-offs.   This  deduction  is  an  addition to tax bad debt
reserves established for the purpose  of  absorbing losses.  The
Act also provides that  federal  income  tax bad debt reserve in
excess of  the  past  year  reserves will be included in taxable
income.   Taxable income for 1998 included $119,038 of recapture
of this bad debt reserve.

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

     Consolidated  assets  of  First  Allen Parish Bancorp, Inc.
decreased $2.4 million to $36.3 million at  March 31, 1999, from
$38.7 million at December 31, 1998. This decrease was the result
of $3.5 million of cast and cash equivalents needed to fund the
local   Sheriff's  tax  collection  account  being  reduced  by
approximately  $2.0  million,  due  to  disbursement  of  taxes
during the first quarter and to fund a $1.5 million increase in
loans.

     Stockholders  equity  declined $200,000 to $4.6 million at
March 31, 1999  from  $4.8  million at December 31, 1998.  This
reduction was the  result  of  a stock repurchase plan put into
effect during the first quarter that resulted in the repurchase
of 16,260 shares  at $18 per share.  Treasury Stock of $293,000
that  reduced  stockholders  equity  was  offset  by  income of
$93,000.

     Mortgaged-backed and related securities decreased $500,000
to  $15.7  million  at  March  31,  1999  from $16.2 million at
December 31, 1998.  The collection of principle and interest on
these securities  was  used  to  partially fund the increase in
loans.

     Total  liabilities decreased $2.2 million to $31.7 million
at March  31,  1999  from  $33.9  million at December 31, 1998. 
This decrease  was  the  result  of  a $2.1 million decrease in
deposits to $31.5  at  March  31,  1999  for  $33.6  million at
December 31, 1998.

Comparison of Operating Results  for  the  Three  Months  Ended 
- ---------------------------------------------------------------

March 31, 1999 and 1998 
- -----------------------

    General.    Net income  increased  $24,000  or   34.7%   to 
$93,000 for  the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $69,000
for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998.  This increase was
primarily due  to  increases  in  net  interest  income   after
provision for loan losses of $39,000 and non-interest income of
$22,000 offset by increases of $24,000 in non-interest expenses
and $14,000 in income tax expense.

     Net Interest Income.  Total  net interest income increased
$46,000 or 16.5% to  $325,000  for the three months ended March
31, 1999  from  $279,000  for  the three months ended March 31,
1998.  This increase was primarily the result of an increase in
net 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.   The  Association  established  a provision
for  loan  losses for the three months ended March 31, 1999  of
$6,000 as compared  to  no provision for the three months ended
March 31,1998.

     Non-Interest  Income.    Non-interest   income   increased 
$22,000 to  $88,000  for  the three months ended March 31, 1999
from $66,000  for  the three months ended March 31, 1998.  This
increase was  the  result  of  increases  of  $7,000 in service
charges  on  deposits,  $5,0000 in insurance commissions earned
and  $10,000  in  loan  origination and servicing fees.  All of
these increases are a  direct  result of the increased activity
from the branch offices in Oberlin and Kinder.

     Non-Interest  Expense.    Non-interest  expense  increased
$24,000 or 10% to $264,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1999 from $240,000 for the three months ended  March 31,  1998. 
This increase was primarily due to an increase  of  $15,000  in
compensation and employee benefits,  an  increase  of $7,000 in
occupancy and equipment expenses, an increase or $4,000 in data
processing  offset  by  a  $2,0000  decrease  in stationery and
printing.  All of these increases are  a  direct  result of the
increased  activity  from  the  branch  offices  in Oberlin and
Kinder.

     Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense  increased $14,000
or 39%  to  a total of $50,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1999  from  an income tax expense  of $36,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998.

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

     At March 31, 1999 non performing assets were approximately
$78,000 compared to $117,000 on December 31,  1998.   At  March 
31, 1999,  the Association's allowance for loan losses was 399%
on non performing loans compared to 260% December 31, 1998.

     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.

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, 1998, and March 31, 1999 were
11.87% and 12.99%, 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  March 31,  1999  and  1998  were  $2,871,761 and
$1,472,110, respectively.

Capability of the Company's Data Processing Hardware to
- -------------------------------------------------------
Accommodate the Year 2000 
- -------------------------

     The Company is aware of the  issues  associated  with  the
programming code in existing computer systems as the millennium
(year "2000") approaches.  The "year 2000" problem is pervasive
and  complex,  as  virtually  every  computer operation will be
affected  in  some  way  by  the rollover of the two-digit year
value of  zero.    The issue  is  whether computer systems will
properly recognize  date-sensitive  information  when  the year
changes  to  2000.  Systems that do not properly recognize such
information could  generate erroneous data or cause a system to
fail.

     The  Company  is  utilizing  both  internal  and  external
resources to  identify,  correct  or  reprogram  and  test  the  
systems for  the  "year  2000"  compliance.   All reprogramming
efforts have been  completed.  To date, confirmations have been
received from the  Company's  primary  processing  vendors that
plans are being developed to address processing of transactions
in  the  "year 2000".   Management has assessed the "year 2000"
compliance  expense  and  related  potential   effect   on  the
Company's earnings, and  the  board  has approved $75,000 to be
dedicated to this project  which is to be expended during years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1999.
