1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10
of Regulation S-X. Certain information required for a complete presentation
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been omitted.
All adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. The
results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 1999, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2000, or any interim period.
The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes of Pocahontas Bancorp, Inc. (the
"Company"), included in the Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September
30, 1999. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and Pocahontas Federal Savings and Loan
Association (the "Bank"). The intercompany accounts of the Company and the
Bank have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
The earnings per share amounts were computed using the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the periods presented.

The Company applies the provisions of APB 25 in accounting for its stock
option plans, as allowed under SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. Accordingly no compensation cost has been recognized for the
options granted to employees or directors. Had compensation cost for these
been determined on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those
plans consistent with the methods of SFAS No. 123, the Company's pro forma
net income and pro forma earnings pre share would have been as follows:

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Pocahontas Bancorp, Inc.
Pocahontas, Arkansas
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial
condition of Pocahontas Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 1999,
and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for
the three-month periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated statement of financial condition of Pocahontas
Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1999, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the
year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated November 1,
1999, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 1999,
is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated
statement of financial condition from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Financial Condition at December 31, 1999, as compared to September 30, 1999
General. The Company's total assets decreased $35.4 million or 7.35% to $446.7
million at December 31, 1999, as compared to $482.1 million at September 30,
1999, primarily due to the sale of approximately $35.9 million of investment
securities.
Loans receivable, net. Net loans receivable increased by $4.0 million or 1.8%
to $221.7 million at December 31, 1999, from $217.7 million as of September 30,
1999. Growth in the loan portfolio was due to loan demand in the Company's local
market.
Investment securities held to maturity. Investment securities held to maturity
increased $.01 million, or 0.01%, to $9.49 million at December 31, 1999, from
$9.48 million at September 30, 1999. The increase in the Company's held to
maturity investment portfolio was due to accretion of discounts.
Investment securities available for sale. Investment securities available for
sale decreased $41.2 million, or 19.05%, to $175.2 million at December 31, 1999,
from $216.5 million at September 30, 1999. The decrease is due to the sale of
35.9 million of investments securities during the quarter ended December 31,
1999. The sale of investment securities resulted in a gain of approximately $0.2
million, net of tax. Such investments were sold in an effort to capture a gain
and to restructure the statement of financial condition to mitigate sensitivity
to interest rate risk. The proceeds from the sale of investment securities were
utilized to repay short-term and callable advances. Cash flow from investments
was primarily used to fund growth in net loans receivable.
Trading securities. Trading securities decreased $0.5 million, or 37.9%, to
$0.9 million at December 31, 1999, from $1.4 million at September 30, 1999.
This decrease is the result of a decrease in market value of trading securities
and the sale of certain securities.
Deposits. Deposits increased $9.2 million or 4.34% to $221.1 million at
December 31, 1999, from $211.9 million at September 30, 1999, primarily due to
continued growth within the Company's market area.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase. FHLB advances decreased $42.2 million or 19.8% to $170.9 million at
December 31, 1999, from $213.1 million at September 30, 1999. This decrease was
due to the increase in deposits and the sale of investments.
Stockholders' equity. Total stockholders' equity decreased $1.2 million or 2.5%
to $46.8 million at December 31, 1999, from $48.0 million at September 30, 1999.
Such decrease was due to the repurchase of 8,000 shares of the Company's common
stock at a total cost of $47,000, a decrease in the unrealized gain on available
for sale securities, net of tax of $1.0 million and net income net of dividends.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December, 1999
and 1998
Overview. For the three-month periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, net
income was $1,039,257 and $810,414 respectively.
Net interest income. For the three-month periods ended December 31, 1999 and
1998, net interest income increased approximately $238,000 or 9.0% to $2.9
million. The increase in net interest income was due the increase in net loans
receivable, decrease in investment securities, increase in deposits and decrease
in Federal Home Loan Bank advances and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase (see discussion of changes in financial condition). The changes in
the Company's asset/liability mix resulted in a decrease in the Company's
interest rate margin to 2.67% for the three months ended December 31, 1999,
compared to 2.8% for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. The Company's strategy
has been to utilize the run-off and principal pay-downs from investment
securities to fund loan growth within the Company's local market and to pay down
FHLB advances. Such loans generally have higher yields than investment
securities.
Fees and Service Charges. For the three month periods ended December 31, 1999
and 1998, fees and service charges increased approximately $207,000, or 116.8%,
to $385,000 for the three-months ended December 31, 1999, from $178,000 for the
three-months ended December 31, 1998. Such increase is due to a new checking
account marketing program and due to a change in the method of charging
overdraft fees.
Non-performing Loans and Loan Loss Provisions
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses
based on management's quarterly asset classification review and evaluation of
the risk inherent in its loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of
its loan activity. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans of
which full collection may not be reasonably assured, considers among other
matters, the estimated value of collateral, cash flow analysis, historical loan
loss experience, and other factors that warrant recognition in providing
adequate allowances. No provision for loan losses was made during the three
month periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. Management believes that the
current allowance for loan loss is adequate to absorb possible loan losses in
the existing portfolio. However, future reviews may require additional
provisions.
The following table sets forth information regarding loans delinquent for 90
days or more and real estate owned by the Bank on the dates indicated.

(1) Net of valuation allowances
</TABLE>

<PAGE>
It is the policy of the Bank to place loans 90 days or more past due on a non-
accrual status by establishing a specific interest reserve that provides for a
corresponding reduction in interest income. Delinquent loans 90 days or more
past due decreased $849,000. or 36.5% during the three-month period ended
December 31, 1999.
Compensation expense. For the three-month periods ended December 31, 1999 and
1998, compensation expenses decreased approximately $0.2 million, or 12.30%, to
$1.1 for the three-months ended December 31, 1999, from $1.3 million for the
three-months ended December 31, 1998. Such decrease was primarily due to the
reduction in RRP expense and cost savings from retirement of the former CEO, net
of salary increases.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Regulatory liquidity is defined as a percentage of the institution's average
daily balance of net withdrawable deposits and current borrowings, invested with
final maturities no longer than five years. The Office of Thrift Supervision
requires 1.0% total liquidity. The Bank met all liquidity requirements during
the three-months ended December 31, 1999.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had various commitments arising in the normal
course of business. Such commitments were not material and are not expected to
have a material adverse impact on the operations of the Company.
At December 31, 1999, the Bank's capital to asset ratio exceeded all regulatory
requirements.
Year 2000
Changing from the year 1999 to 2000 has the potential to cause problems in data
processing and other date-sensitive systems, a problem known as the Year 2000 or
Y2K dilemma. The Year 2000 date change can affect any system that uses computer
software programs or computer chips, including automated equipment and
machinery. For example, many software programs or computer chips store calendar
dates as two-digits rather than four-digit numbers. These software programs
record the year 1998 as "98." This approach will work until the Year 2000 when
"00" may be read as 1900 instead of 2000.
Regarding the Company, computer systems are used to perform financial
calculations, track deposits and loan payments, transfer funds and make direct
deposits. The processing of the Company's loan and deposit transactions is
outsourced to a third-party data processing vendor. Computer software and
computer chips also are used to run security systems, vaults, communications
networks and other essential bank equipment.
Because of its reliance on these systems (including those used by its third-
party data processing vendor), the Company has followed a comprehensive process
to ensure that such systems are ready for the Year 2000 date change.
To become Y2K compliant, the Company is following a five-step process suggested
by federal bank regulatory agencies. A description of each of the steps and the
status of the Company's efforts in completing the steps is as follows:
Step 1. Awareness and Understanding of the Problem. The Company has formed
a Year 2000 team that has investigated the problem and its potential impact
on the Company's systems.
9
<PAGE>
This phase also includes education of the Company's employees and customers
about Y2K issues. The awareness and understanding phase of this step has
been completed. Training and communication has taken place.
Step 2. Identification of All Potentially Affected Systems. This step has
included a review of all major information technology ("IT") and non-
information technology ("non-IT") systems to determine how they are impacted
by Y2K issues. An inventory has been prepared of all vendors who render IT
and non-IT services to the Company. This step is considered complete.
Step 3. Assessment and Planning. The Year 2000 team has completed its
assessment of which systems and equipment are most prone to placing the
Company at risk if they are not Y2K compliant. The project team has
developed an inventory of its vendors, an inventory of actions to be taken,
identification of the team members responsible for completion of each action,
a completion timetable and a project tracking methodology. Significant
vendors have been requested to advise the Company in writing of their Y2K
readiness, including actions to become compliant if they are not already
compliant. A plan has been developed to repair or replace systems and
equipment not currently Y2K compliant. This step is considered complete.
Step 4. Correction and Testing. The Company's third party data processing
services as well as vendors who provide significant technology-related
services have modified their systems to become Y2K compliant. It has also
arranged for repair or replacement of equipment programs affected by Y2K
issues. The testing and corrections have taken place.
Step 5. Implementation. This step includes repair or replacement of systems
and computer equipment and the development of contingency plans. The repair
and replacement phase is completed. Contingency plans for how the Company
would resume business if unanticipated problems arise from non-performance by
IT and non-IT vendors has been completed and tested.
The Company's efforts to become Y2K compliant are being monitored by its federal
banking regulators. Failure to be Y2K compliant could subject the Company to
formal supervisory or enforcement actions.
The Company's expenses related to Y2K have not been material. The Company does
not expect to incur additional costs to become Y2K compliant. The Company
presently believes the Y2K issue will not pose significant operating problems
for the Company. However, if compliance is not completed in a satisfactory and
timely manner by third parties on which the Company is dependent, or other
unforeseen problems arise, the Y2K issue could have a material adverse effect on
