BRITTON & KOONTZ CAPITAL CORPORATION REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 1997 EARNINGS


        Natchez, Mississippi (October 21, 1997 Britton & Koontz Capital
Corporation (Nasdaq/Symbol BKBK) today announced results for the third quarter
of 1997.  Net income for the quarter increased to $542 thousand from $322 for
the same period in 1996.  Quarterly earnings per share amounted to $.31
compared to $.18 in 1996.

        Net income for the first nine months was $1.791 million compared to
$1.375 million in 1996. Earnings per share during the same period amounted to
$1.01, an increase of 29% over the previous year of $.78.  The EPS increase
arose primarily from a reduction in non-interest expense along with continued
loan growth which contributed to an improvement in net interest margin. The
third quarter of 1996 included a one-time FDIC assessment of $257 thousand on
SAIF insured deposits.

        Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation, headquartered in Natchez,
