                                          PART I

               ITEM 1 - Business.

               The Company

                  MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. ("MidSouth") was incorporated as a
               Louisiana  corporation  on April 17, 1984 for the purpose of
               becoming  a  bank holding company  under  the  Bank  Holding
               Company Act of  1956.   On  November  8,  1984,  the Company
               became  a bank holding company when it purchased the  shares
               of MidSouth  National  Bank  (the  "Bank"), its wholly-owned
               subsidiary.    Substantially   all  of  MidSouth's   assets,
               earnings and source of funds have  been  attributable to the
               Bank.   MidSouth and the Bank are referred  to  collectively
               herein as "the Company."

                  On July  31, 1995, MidSouth consummated an acquisition of
               Sugarland Bancshares,  Inc. which resulted in Sugarland Bank
               being merged into the Bank and each share of common stock of
               Sugarland being converted  into one share of MidSouth Series
               A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value
               of  $14.25  per  share.   A  total   of  187,286  shares  of
               Convertible Preferred Stock were issued.   Completion of the
               acquisition added $17.2 million to MidSouth's total assets.

               The Bank

                  The  Bank  received  its charter from the Office  of  the
               Comptroller  of  the  Currency  (the  "OCC")  to  engage  in
               business as a national  banking  association  on February 7,
               1985 and opened for business on the same date, in Lafayette,
               Louisiana.  On September 17, 1987 the Bank purchased certain
               assets  and  all  of  the  liabilities of the former  Breaux
               Bridge  Bank & Trust, Breaux  Bridge,  Louisiana,  from  the
               Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  (the "FDIC"), which
               added approximately $27.3 million to the deposit  base,  and
               on  May  24,  1989 the purchase and assumption of all of the
               assets and liabilities  of the former Commerce & Energy Bank
               of Lafayette, Louisiana from the FDIC resulted in additional
               deposits of approximately  $20.7  million.   As noted above,
               the acquisition of Sugarland Bank occurred on  July 31, 1995
               and resulted in additional deposits of $13.8 million.

                  The  Bank  provides  a  complete range of commercial  and
               retail   banking   services   primarily   to   professional,
               commercial  and industrial customers  in  its  market  area.
               These services  include,  but  are  not limited to, interest
               bearing   and   non-interest   bearing  checking   accounts,
               investment accounts and issuance of cashier's checks, United
               States Savings Bonds and travelers  checks.   The  Bank is a
               U.S. government depository.  Visa and Mastercard credit card
               services  are  offered  through  an  affiliation  with First
               National Bank of Commerce, New Orleans, Louisiana.  The Bank
               is  also  a  member  of the Electronic Data Services ("EDS")
               network through Comerica  Bank, Dallas, Texas which provides
               its customers with automatic teller machine services through
               the GulfNet, Cirrus and Plus  networks.   Discount brokerage
               services  are  offered  in  conjunction with Union  Planters
               Discount Brokerage Services.   The Bank serves most types of
               lending demands including short  term  business loans, other
               commercial,  industrial  and  financial loans,  real  estate
               
                                     2

               construction and mortgage loans  and installment loans.  The
               Bank  operates  at  the thirteen locations  described  below
               under the heading "Item 2 - Properties."


               Employees

                  As of December 31,  1995,  the Bank had in its employ 110
               full-time equivalent employees.  MidSouth has no employees.

               Competition

                  The  Bank  faces keen competition  in  its  market  area,
               Lafayette, Jefferson  Davis,  St. Martin and Iberia Parishes
               in Louisiana, not only with other commercial banks, but also
               with savings and loan associations,  credit  unions, finance
               companies, mortgage companies, leasing companies,  insurance
               companies,  money  market mutual funds and brokerage houses.
               In  the  Lafayette Parish  area  there  are  fourteen  state
               chartered or national banks and four savings banks.  Several
               of  the banks  in  Lafayette  are  subsidiaries  of  holding
               companies  or branches of banks having far greater resources
               than the Company.

                  In 1988 the  Louisiana  Banking Law was amended to permit
               Louisiana banks to establish  branch  offices statewide, and
               national  banks  domiciled in Louisiana have  the  power  to
               establish branches  to  the full extent that Louisiana banks
               may  establish  branches.    Effective   January   1,  1989,
               Louisiana's  reciprocal  interstate banking law allows  bank
               holding companies domiciled  in  any  state  of  the  United
               States   to   acquire   Louisiana  banks  and  bank  holding
               companies, if the state in which the bank holding company is
               domiciled allows Louisiana  banks and bank holding companies
               the  same  opportunities.  The  effect  of  the  changes  in
               Louisiana's  branch  banking laws and interstate banking law
               on  the Company has been  to  increase  competition  in  the
               state,  and  such  competition  is  expected  to continue to
               increase.

                  In 1994, the Interstate Banking and Branching  Efficiency
               Act of 1994 (the "Interstate Act") was enacted.  Among other
               things, the Interstate Act (i) allows bank holding companies
               after  September,  1995  to  acquire  a bank located in  any
               state, subject to certain limitations that may be imposed by
               the state, (ii) allows banks after June  1, 1997 (or earlier
               if  permitted  by  state  law) to merge across  state  lines
               unless the home state has enacted  prior  to  June 1, 1997 a
               law opting out of interstate bank mergers, and (iii) permits
               banks to establish branches outside their state  of domicile
               if expressly permitted by the law of the state in  which the
               branch is to be located.  In 1995, the Louisiana legislature
               enacted  legislation  permitting  out  of state bank holding
               companies after June 1, 1997 to convert  any  banks owned in
               Louisiana into branches of out of state banks owned  by such
               holding   companies,   subject   to   certain   limitations.
               Registrant is unable to predict at this time the  effect  of
               the  Interstate  Act  and  recent  Louisiana  legislature on
               competition.

               Supervision and Regulation

                  Bank  Holding  Companies.   As  a  bank  holding company,
               MidSouth is subject to the Bank Holding Company  Act of 1956
               (the  "Act") and is supervised by the Board of Governors  of
               the Federal  Reserve  System  (the "Federal Reserve Board").
               The Act requires MidSouth to file  periodic reports with the
               Federal Reserve Board and subjects MidSouth  to  examination
               by  the  Federal  Reserve  Board.   The  Act  also  requires
               MidSouth to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve
               Board for acquisitions of substantially all of the assets of
               any  bank  or  bank  holding  company or more than 5% of the
               voting shares of any bank or bank  holding company.  The Act
               prohibits  the  Federal  Reserve  Board  from  approving  an
               application from a bank holding company to acquire shares of
               a bank located outside the state in  which the operations of
               the holding company's banking subsidiaries  are  principally
               conducted,   unless  such  an  acquisition  is  specifically
               authorized by  the  law of the state in which the bank whose
               shares are to be acquired  is  located.   The  Act prohibits
               MidSouth from engaging in any business other than banking or
               bank-related activities specifically allowed by  the Federal
               Reserve   Board   and   from   engaging  in  certain  tie-in
               arrangements in connection with  any  extension of credit or
               provision of any property or services.

                  National Banks.  As a national banking  association,  the
               Bank  is  supervised  and  regulated by the OCC (its primary
               regulatory authority), the Federal  Reserve  Board  and  the
               FDIC.  Under the Federal Reserve Act, the Bank is restricted
               in extending credit to or making investments in MidSouth and
               other  affiliates  defined  in that act.  National banks are
               required  by  the National Bank  Act  to  adhere  to  branch
               banking laws applicable  to  state  banks  in  the states in
               which they are located.


               Governmental Policies

                  The operations of financial institutions may  be affected
               by  legislative  changes  and  by  the  policies  of various
               regulatory   authorities.    In   particular,  bank  holding
               companies and their subsidiaries are  affected by the credit
               policies  of  the  Federal  Reserve  Board.    An  important
               function  of  the  Federal Reserve Board is to regulate  the
               national supply of bank  credit.   Among  the instruments of
               monetary  policy  used  by  the  Federal  Reserve  Board  to
               implement  its  objectives  are  open  market operations  in
               United States Government Securities, changes in the discount
               rate on bank borrowings and changes in reserve  requirements
               on  bank deposits.  These policies have significant  effects
               on  the  overall  growth  and  profitability  of  the  loan,
               investment  and  deposit portfolios.  The general effects of
               such policies upon  future  operations  cannot be accurately
               predicted.

               ITEM 2 - Properties.

                  The   Company   leases   its   principal  executive   and
               administrative  offices and principal  banking  facility  in
               Lafayette,  Louisiana   under  a  ten  year  lease  expiring
               November 30, 2004.  The Bank  has four other banking offices
               in Lafayette, Louisiana, two in  New  Iberia and one banking
               office  in  each of Breaux Bridge, Cecilia,  Jeanerette  and
                                    
                                    4               

<PAGE>
               
               Jennings, Louisiana.   In  addition,  MidSouth  has  a  loan
               production office in Morgan City, Louisiana.  Eight of these
               offices are owned and five are leased.

               ITEM 3 - Legal Proceedings.

                  The  Bank  has been named as a defendant in various legal
               actions arising  from  normal  business  activities in which
               damages of various amounts are claimed.  While  the  amount,
               if  any,  of ultimate liability with respect to such matters
               cannot be determined,  management believes, after consulting
               with legal counsel, that  any such liability will not have a
               material  adverse  effect  on   the  Company's  consolidated
               financial position and results of operation.

               ITEM  4  -  Submission  of Matters to  a  Vote  of  Security
               Holders.

                  No  matters  were  submitted  to  a  vote  of  MidSouth's
               security holders in the fourth quarter of 1995.

               ITEM 5 - Market for Registrant's  Common  Stock  and Related
               Stockholder Matters.

                  On  April  19,  1993 MidSouth's common stock was accepted
               for listing on the American  Stock  Exchange,  Inc./Emerging

               stock, issued in conjunction with the Sugarland acquisition,
               was  approved  for  listing  on  the regular American  Stock
               Exchange, Inc. ("AMEX") under the  symbols  MSL  and MSL.pr,
               respectively.   As  of  February  29,  1996, there were  383
               common shareholders of record and 199 preferred shareholders
               of record.  The high and low sales prices for the past eight
               quarters  are  provided in the Selected Quarterly  Financial
               Data tables on pages 49 and 50.

                  MidSouth's first common stock dividend was paid at a rate
               of $.06 per share  on  October  2,  1995  to shareholders of
               record on September 18, 1995.  Common stock  shareholders of
               record on December 17, 1995 received an additional  $.06 per
               share on January 2, 1996.  It is the intention of the  Board
               of  Directors  of  MidSouth  to  continue  paying  quarterly
               dividends  on the common stock at a rate of $.06 per  share.
               The Company's  ability to pay dividends is described in Item
               7  below  under  the   heading  "Balance  Sheet  Analysis  -
               Dividends"  and in Note 13  to  the  Company's  consolidated
               financial statements.

               On September  15,  1995,  MidSouth effected a four for three
               stock  split  by  way  of a stock  dividend  to  its  common
               shareholders of record as  of  September 7, 1995.  The stock
               split increased the common shares  outstanding  at  the time
               from 720,415 to 960,553.

               On  February  18,  1994,  MidSouth  paid  a  5% common stock
               dividend to shareholders of record on February 4, 1994.  The
               dividend  increased MidSouth's common shares outstanding  at
               the time from 670,638 to 705,327.

          ITEM 6 - Management's Discussion and analysis or Plan of
                   Operation


          MidSouth Bancorp, Inc.  ("MidSouth") is a one-bank holding
          company that conducts substantially all of its business through
          its wholly-owned subsidiary, MidSouth National Bank (the "Bank").
          Following is management's discussion of factors that management
          believes are among those necessary for an understanding of
          MidSouth's financial statements.  The discussion should be read
          in conjunction with MidSouth's financial statements and the notes
          thereto presented herein.

          OVERVIEW

          MidSouth ended the year 1995 with total assets of $151,183,241,
          an increase of 45% over the $103,965,960 reported in total assets
          at year-end 1994.  The completion of the acquisition of Sugarland
          State Bank ("Sugarland") of Jeanerette, Louisiana on July 31,
          1995 contributed $17,169,959 of the increase in total assets.
          The transaction resulted in the issuance of 187,286 shares of
          MidSouth Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to the
          former shareholders of Sugarland.

          Net income for 1995 was $1,241,610 as compared to $1,141,641
          reported for 1994.  Income applicable to common shareholders for
          1995 totaled $1,203,468.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per
          common share for 1995 were $1.24 and $1.15, respectively,
          compared to $1.20 primary and fully diluted earnings per common
          share for 1994.

          Net interest income increased $1,089,881 in 1995.  The increase
          results primarily from significant loan growth which contributed
          to a 20% increase in average earning assets.  MidSouth's loans,
          net of reserves, increased in 1995 by $18,268,366 to $77,826,707
          as compared to $59,558,341 at December 31, 1994.   Loans acquired
          from Sugarland amounted to $8,601,476 or 47% of the total
          increase in loans over the past twelve months.  Increased
          expenses associated with four branch locations, which included
          two former Sugarland banking offices, and a loan production
          office added by MidSouth in 1995, offset the increase in net
          interest income for 1995.  The increases were noted in personnel,
          occupancy, telephone and data processing expenses.  Additionally,
          marketing, printing and postage expenses increased due to the
          growth experienced in 1995.

          Deposits grew $42.5 million, from $96.5 million at December 31,
          1994 to $139.0 million at December 31, 1995.  Of the $42.5
          million in growth, $13.8 million was attributable to the
          Sugarland acquisition and $11.0 million resulted from two public
          funds contracts.   An additional $10.5 million in deposits
          resulted from a deposit promotion held during the fourth quarter
          of 1995. The Opelousas branch, opened in April 1995, contributed
          $3.2 million to the increase in deposits for the year.

           Non-performing assets (net of reserve for possible real estate
          write-downs) and loans past due 90 days or more were $836,523 at
          December 31, 1995, up $284,420 from $552,103 a year earlier.  The
          
                                    8

<PAGE>          

          Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses ("ALLL") amounted to
          $1,051,898 at December 31, 1995, or 1.33% of total loans and
          leases, compared to $873,934, or 1.45% of total loans and leases
          at December 31, 1994.

          On September 15, 1995, MidSouth effected a four for three stock
          split by way of a stock dividend to its common stock shareholders
          of record on September 7, 1995.  The stock split increased the
          common shares outstanding from 720,415 to 960,553 and adjusted
          the conversion rate on MidSouth's Preferred Stock to 1.33 shares
          of common stock for each share of preferred stock converted.

          MidSouth paid its first cash dividend on common stock of $.06 per
          share on October 2, 1995 to shareholders of record as of
          September 18, 1995.  Common stock shareholders also received a
          second cash dividend on January 2, 1996 of $.06 per share.  The
          Board of Directors of MidSouth intends to continue quarterly
          payment of dividends on MidSouth's common stock at the rate of
          $.06 per share.  Cash dividends will be subject to payment of
          dividends on the preferred stock issued in the acquisition of
          Sugarland, as well as other considerations.

          MidSouth's leverage ratio was 6.99% at December 31, 1995.  Return
          on average equity was 14.84% and return on average assets was
          .98% for the year 1995.

          EARNINGS ANALYSIS

          Net Interest Income

          The primary source of earnings for MidSouth is net interest
          income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans
          and investments and interest paid on deposits and other
          liabilities.  Changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and
          interest-bearing liabilities combined with changes in market
          rates of interest greatly affect net interest income.  Tables 1
          and 2 analyze the changes in net interest income for the three
          years ended December 31, 1995.

          Net interest income increased $1,089,881 for 1995 over 1994 and
          $847,264 for 1994 over 1993.  The increase in net interest income
          for both 1995 and 1994 resulted primarily from growth in
          MidSouth's loan portfolio.  Interest income from loans, including
          loan fees,  increased $1,762,968 from 1994 to 1995 and $837,508
          from 1993 to 1994.  The increased interest income for both years
          resulted from increases in average loan volume of $13.8 million
          in 1995 and $10.5 million in 1994.  An increase in the average
          yield on loans of 59 basis points, from 9.82% to 10.41%,
          contributed to the increase in interest income on loans in 1995.
          A decrease in average yield on loans of 43 basis points lessened
          the impact of the volume increase in 1994.

          A $.9 million increase in the average volume of securities for
          1995, combined with a 46 basis point increase in yield, resulted
          in increased interest income from MidSouth's securities portfolio
          for the year.  A $5.1 million increase in the average volume of
          securities for 1994 resulted in increased interest income for
          1994 despite a 34 basis point decline in the average yield.

          Throughout 1993, 1994 and 1995, MidSouth continued to improve the
          mix of average earning assets as average loan volume increased
          from 57% to 60% to 62% of average earning assets, respectively.
          This trend reflects increased quality loan demand and
          management's commitment to offer competitive loan products while
          maintaining conservative credit criteria.

          In 1994, the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits
          decreased 12 basis points to 2.84% from 2.96% in 1993.  Rising
          interest rates throughout 1995 resulted in a significant increase
          of 96 basis points to an average rate paid on interest-bearing
          deposits of 3.88%.  A 22.8% increase in the average volume of
          interest-bearing deposits in 1995 combined with the higher rate
          resulted in an increase of $1.2 million in interest expense for
          the year.  MidSouth's deposit mix shifted slightly during 1995 to
          a higher volume of interest-bearing deposits.  As of December 31,
          1995, 28% of average total deposits were non-interest bearing
          demand deposits, while 35% represented NOW, money market and
          savings deposits.  Certificates of deposit amounted to 37% of
          average total deposits at year-end 1995.  As of year-end 1994,
          the deposit mix consisted of 30% non-interest bearing demand
          deposits, 34% NOW, money market and savings, and 36% certificates
          of deposit.  The deposit mix at year-end 1993 consisted of 28%
          non-interest bearing demand deposits, 32% NOW, money market and
          savings, and 40% certificates of deposit.

          These changes in MidSouth's earning assets and interest-bearing
          liabilities combined with changes in interest rates resulted in
          net yields on average earning assets of 5.82% for 1995, as
          compared to 5.81% for 1994 and 5.80% for 1993.

           Non-Interest Income

          Excluding Securities Transactions.  Service charges and fees on
          deposit accounts represent the primary source of non-interest
          income for MidSouth.  Income from service charges and
          nonsufficient funds fees increased $88,103 in 1995 and $134,357
          in 1994 primarily due to an increase in the number of transaction
          accounts serviced by MidSouth.  The total number of transaction
          accounts (excluding savings accounts) increased from 6,826 in
          1993 to 7,394 in 1994 and to 10,141 in 1995. Of  the 2,747
          accounts added in 1995, 1,009 were Sugarland accounts. Non-
          interest income resulting from other charges and fees increased
          $73,207 in 1995 as compared to increases of $126,701 in 1994 and
          $26,221 in 1993.   The 1995 increase primarily results from
          additional income of $38,683 earned through the sale of credit
          life insurance, $17,189 in ATM fee income and $12,343 in check
          order fees.  Increases of $37,510 in fees earned through the sale
          of credit life insurance, $31,800 in lease income on the former
          Pinhook Branch building,  $24,490 in check order fees and $15,000
          in lease income from a third party offering investment services
          to customers contributed to the increased non-interest income for
          1994.

          Securities Transactions.  No gains or losses were recorded on
          sales of securities during 1995.  Upon the acquisition of
          Sugarland, $2.3 million in securities available-for-sale were
          liquidated on the date of merger at the acquired value.  Net
          gains on sales of securities decreased $209,288 from 1993 to 1994
          primarily due to limited sales activity within the securities

          portfolio.  In 1993, MidSouth realized gains on sales of several
          fixed rate mortgage-backed securities and on U.S. Treasury notes
          with remaining maturities of six months to nine months.  Also, in
          September of 1993, MidSouth sold a security for $152,350 that had
          previously been partially written down to $100,000, resulting in
          a recovery of $52,350 on the security.

          Non-interest Expense

          Total non-interest expense increased 24% from 1994 to 1995 and 5%
          from 1993 to 1994.  The addition of four branch locations,
          including two former Sugarland banking offices, and a loan
          production office, in 1995 resulted in significant increases in
          salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expenses, marketing
          expenses and the cost of printing and supplies. In addition, data
          processing expenses increased due to the purchase of new hardware
          and software. The increase in 1994 resulted primarily from
          increases in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expenses
          and marketing expenses.

          Salaries and employee benefits increased 25% from 1994 to 1995
          and 11% from 1993 to 1994.  The expansion of MidSouth's branch
          system in 1995 required the addition of  26 employees which
          resulted in increased salaries and benefits costs.  As of
          December 31, 1995, MidSouth employed 110 full-time equivalent
          employees.  The increase in 1994 resulted primarily from
          increases in incentive compensation awarded to officers and
          employees of the Bank and from an increase in the number of full-
          time equivalent employees from 76 in 1993 to 81 in 1994.

          Occupancy expenses increased 29% from 1994 to 1995 and 19% from
          1993 to 1994 as a result of increases in building lease expense,
          depreciation and maintenance expenses associated with furniture
          and equipment,  and ad valorem taxes.  Building lease expense
          increased primarily due to an increase provided for in the lease
          agreement on the corporate office location and the addition of
          the lease on the Opelousas and Super 1 New Iberia branch
          locations.  In November of 1994, MidSouth leased additional space
          and remodeled the corporate office location to provide for
          additional office space and a training facility.  As a result of
          these additions, building lease expense increased $35,803 in
          1995.  Costs associated with building and leasehold improvements,
          furniture and equipment, maintenance and utilities of MidSouth's
          twelve banking offices and one loan production office increased
          $118,500 in 1995.  Included in the increased costs were the
          purchase of a telephone system, the installation of a computer
          network (a "Novell" network) at the corporate office and at four
          branch offices and renovation of the Breaux Bridge branch
          facility.

          Fixed assets additions planned for 1996 include construction of a
          permanent branch facililty in Opelousas and an additional branch
          office to be located in the Super 1 store under construction in
          Lafayette.

          During the third quarter of 1993, MidSouth contracted with an
          accounting and consulting firm to perform an information systems
          review.  The review resulted in a five year technology plan to
          improve information systems and product offerings.  As proposed
          
                                    13

<PAGE>

          in the plan, MidSouth  purchased in 1994 a "Novell" network
          system and in 1995 a new data processing hardware system and
          software package that was installed during the third quarter of
          1995.  Additionally, debit card and telephone banking services
          were installed in the fourth quarter of 1995.  As a result, data
          processing expenses increased $79,167 in 1995.  Plans for 1996
          include the expansion of the "Novell" network to two additional
          branches and the installation of a "loan-by-phone" system.

          A decrease in MidSouth's rate for FDIC premiums, retroactive to
          June 1, 1995, resulted in a refund of $68,703 received during the
          third quarter of 1995.  The reduced rate and subsequent refund
          significantly lowered MidSouth's FDIC premiums by $103,094 from
          1994 to 1995.  Based on the current risk classification, MidSouth
          is not required to pay FDIC premiums for the first quarter of
          1996.  Premiums increased slightly from 1993 to 1994 due to an
          increase in total deposits, despite a reduction in the premium
          rate on July 1, 1993 resulting from an improvement in risk
          classification.

          Professional fees consist of legal, accounting and regulatory
          fees.  A 20% increase in 1995 professional fees resulted
          primarily from increases in legal fees and in other professional
          services.  Other professional services include internal audit
          services contracted to an accounting firm and an external loan
          and compliance review.  In 1994, professional fees decreased
          $41,986 primarily due to non-recurring costs during the third
          quarter of 1993 associated with the listing of MidSouth's common
          stock and with registration under the securities laws of the
          common stock underlying existing warrants.  Net of these non-
          recurring costs, minimal increases were reported in professional
          fees in 1994.

          Marketing expenses increased $121,669 from 1994 to 1995 and
          $30,131from 1993 to 1994.  Promotions related to new branch
          facilities, the Sugarland acquisition and a deposit promotion
          held during the fourth quarter of 1995 resulted in the
          significant increase in marketing expenses for 1995.   The
          increase from 1993 to 1994 is due to expenses related to the
          quality service program and increased newspaper and billboard
          advertisement.

          Decreases  of $4,051 and $68,349 were reported in net expenses on
          Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)  for 1995 and 1994, respectively.
          Expenses on OREO remained controlled in 1995 due to few additions
          and continued improvement in credit quality.  The decrease in
          1994 resulted from disposal of high maintenance properties during
          1993 and a reduction in collection costs on related loans.

          Income Taxes

          With the exception of the impact of adopting Statement of
          Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
          Taxes" ("SFAS 109") in 1993, MidSouth's tax expense has been
          consistent at a rate of approximately 34% for the three years
          ended December 31, 1995.  Note 1 and Note 10 to MidSouth's
          Consolidated Financial Statements provide additional information
          regarding the adoption of SFAS 109 and MidSouth's income tax
          considerations.

          BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

          Securities

          MidSouth's securities available-for-sale portfolio increased
          $4.7 million from year-end 1994 to year-end 1995.  An improvement
          of $1,161,750 in the market value of securities available-for-
          sale contributed to the increase in 1995.  Unrealized gains in
          the securities available-for-sale portfolio, net of unrealized
          losses and tax effect, were $98,950 at December 31, 1995,
          compared to unrealized losses net of unrealized gains and tax
          effect of $1,062,800 at December 31, 1994.  These amounts result
          from interest rate fluctuations and do not represent permanent
          adjustments of value.  Moreover, classification of securities
          available-for-sale does not necessarily indicate that the
          securities will be sold prior to maturity.  The Financial
          Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") announced in the fourth
          quarter of 1995 that banks would have a one-time opportunity to
          reclassify securities for 1995 year-end financial statements.
          The opportunity to reclassify allows banks to move individual
          securities out of the held-to-maturity category, as defined by
          SFAS 115, without having to evaluate all securities in that
          category.  MidSouth management elected to retain the current
          classification of  its securities.

          Approximately 42% of MidSouth's securities available-for-sale
          portfolio represents mortgage-backed securities and  13.5%
          collaterized mortgage obligations ("CMO's").  An additional 37%
          of the portfolio consists of U. S. Treasury and agency
          securities, while mutual funds and other securities represent
          7.5% of the portfolio.  MidSouth held two CMO's with book values
          in excess of 10% of stockholders' equity at December 31, 1995:  a
          Chase Mortgage Finance Corp 1993 H II A-3 with a book value of
          $1,783,456 (market value of $1,784,157) and a GE Capital Mortgage
          Services Inc. 1993-14 A4 with a book value of $2,007,089 (market
          value of $1,991,240).  All CMO's held by MidSouth are Aaa rated
          and not considered "high-risk" securities under the Federal
          Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") tests.
          MidSouth does not own any "high-risk" securities as defined by
          the FFIEC.

          MidSouth purchased approximately $10.0 million in securities
          available-for-sale during 1995.  Of the $10.0 million, $6.0
          million were U. S. Treasury securities and $4 million were
          mortgage-backed securities, primarily fifteen year fixed rate
          mortgage-backed pools.  MidSouth monitors the risk due to changes
          in interest rates on mortgage-backed pools by monthly review of
          prepayment speeds, duration, and purchase yields as compared to
          current market yields on each security.  In the held-to-maturity
          portfolio, MidSouth purchased $4.3 million in non-taxable
          municipal securities during 1995.  Detailed credit analysis was
          performed on each municipal offering prior to purchase by Piper
          Capital Management, Inc., an investment advisory firm.

          Federal funds sold totaled $15.8 million, and $1.7 million for
          the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
          Deposits received through a deposit promotion during the fourth
          quarter of 1995, combined with funds deposited with two public
          fund contracts and the Sugarland acquisiton, resulted in the
          increased volume in federal funds sold for 1995.

          Loan Portfolio

          MidSouth experienced substantial loan growth for the years ended
          December 31, 1994 and 1995.  Total loans grew from $49,786,123 at
          year-end 1993 to $60,432,275 at year-end 1994 and to $78,878,605
          at year-end 1995.

          The $18.4 million increase in 1995 represents a 30% increase in
          total loans.  Loans acquired at the consummation of the
          acquisition of Sugarland on July 31, 1995 totaled $8.6 million
          and consisted of approximately $2.0 million in commercial loans,
          $3.5 million in agricultural loans, $2.1 million in loans secured
          by real estate and $1.0 million in installment loans to
          individuals.  As of December 31, 1995, total agricultural loans
          had decreased by $1.3 million to $2.2 million.  Additional
          changes in MidSouth's loan portfolio consisted of a $6.0 million
          increase in installment loans to individuals, a $6.3 million
          increase in loans secured by real estate, and a $1.8 million
          decrease in commercial loans.  The Business Manager portfolio,
          described below, grew by $.5 million during 1995.

          Favorable economic conditions in MidSouth's market area combined
          with increased market awareness of MidSouth as the largest
          locally owned bank led to the approximated 14%growth experienced
          in 1995, net of the loans acquired from Sugarland.   An annual
          retail loan promotion held in March contributed to the growth
          realized in the installment loan portfolio.  Real estate loan
          growth consisted of  both commercial and consumer credits that
          carry ten to fifteen year amortizations with rates fixed for
          three to five years.  The short fixed rate terms of these credits
          allow management greater flexibility in controlling the Bank's
          interest rate risk.

          MidSouth has maintained its credit policy and underwriting
          procedures and has not changed these procedures to stimulate loan
          growth.  Completed loan applications, credit bureau reports,
          financial statements and a committee approval process remain a
          part of credit decisions.  Documentation of the loan decision
          process is required on each credit application, whether approved
          or denied, to insure thorough and consistent procedures.

          Of the $10.6 million increase in 1994 over 1993, approximately
          $6.8 million represented growth in the commercial and real estate
          loan portfolios.  Commercial loan growth was stimulated by
          construction and expansion in the market area.  MidSouth utilized
          the Small Business Administration ("SBA") 504 program to lessen
          the risk of a decline in future real estate values.  The SBA 504
          program allows the Bank to finance 50% of a project with a first
          lien position rather than the usual 80%.  The SBA funds a portion
          of the project, taking a second lien position.  This position
          allows for a higher quality commercial real estate portfolio for
          the Bank.

          Growth in the commercial portfolio during 1994 also included
          $784,779 funded through the Business Manager program introduced
          in December of 1993.  The Business Manager program provides
          MidSouth's business customers with an accounts receivable system
          through which the Bank purchases the customers' accounts
          receivables on a discounted basis and handles all accounting,
          
                                    16

<PAGE>          

          billing, and collection of the receivables.  The commercial lease
          financing portfolio increased $861,041 in 1994 as the quantity
          and quality of lease paper presented by the leasing companies
          improved.

          MidSouth's installment loans to individuals experienced growth of
          $3.0 million in 1994.  The majority of the growth occurred in the
          first six months of 1994 due to strong loan demand and a loan
          promotion that targeted MidSouth's consumer market.

          Asset Quality

          Credit Risk Management.  MidSouth manages its credit risk by
          diversifying its loan portfolio, determining that borrowers have
          adequate cash flows for loan repayment, obtaining and monitoring
          collateral and continuously reviewing outstanding loans.  The
          risk management program requires that each individual loan
          officer review his or her portfolio on a quarterly basis and
          recommend credit gradings on each loan.  The senior loan officer
          and loan review officer review the gradings.  In addition, the
          loan review officer performs an independent evaluation annually
          of each commercial loan officer's portfolio and a random sampling
          of credits in MidSouth's installment loan portfolio.

          In addition to the internal reviews of the loan portfolio, U. S.
          Banking Alliance, a bank consulting firm, performs an annual
          review of the loan portfolio.

          Nonperforming Assets.  Table 3 contains information about
          MidSouth's nonperforming assets and loans past due 90 days or
          more and still accruing.

          Nonperforming assets totaled $570,841 at December 31, 1995
          compared to $448,043 at December 31, 1994.  The increase in
          nonperforming assets resulted primarily from the addition of a
          few loans on nonaccrual status.

          Nonaccrual loans increased $137,760 to $387,453 at December 31,
          1995 compared to $249,693 at December 31, 1994.  Loans to
          commercial borrowers are placed on nonaccrual when principal or
          interest is 90 days past due, or sooner if the full
          collectability of principal or interest is doubtful, except if
          the underlying collateral supports both the principal and accrued
          interest and the loan is in the process of collection.  Retail
          loans that become 120 days past due are routinely charged off.
          Loans classified for regulatory purposes but not included in
          Table 3 do not represent material credits about which management
          has serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply
          with the loan repayment terms.

          Effective January 1, 1995, MidSouth adopted Statement of
          Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by
          Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which was subsequently
          amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
          of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures."  For further
          discussion of the recorded investment in loans considered to be

          income reported for the year 1995 refer to Note 5 to MidSouth's
          Consolidated Financial Statements.

          Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.  Provisions totalling
          $225,000, $210,000, and $306,500 for the years 1995, 1994 and
          1993, respectively, were necessary to bring the ALLL to a level
          considered by management to be sufficient to cover potential
          losses in the loan portfolio.

          Improved trends in loan loss experience and the volume of past
          due and nonaccrual loans have decreased the amount of provisions
          necessary to achieve sufficient ALLL levels.  Table 4 analyzes
          activity in the ALLL for 1994 and 1995.  Specific reserves within
          the ALLL are allocated to loans on nonaccrual for which the
          underlying collateral value is insufficient to cover the
          principal remaining on the loan.  A portion of the unallocated
          reserve is assigned to accruing loans that are classified for
          regulatory purposes.  The remainder of the ALLL represents a
          percentage of all other credits based on gradings assigned in the
          loan review process.

          Quarterly evaluations of the ALLL are performed in accordance
          with Section 217 of the OCC's manual and Banking Circular 201.
          Factors considered in determining provisions include estimated
          future losses in significant credits; known deterioration in
          concentrations of credit; historical loss experience; trends in
          nonperforming assets; volume, maturity and composition of the
          loan portfolio; off balance sheet credit risk; lending policies
          and control systems; national and local economic conditions; the
          experience, ability and depth of lending management and the
          results of examinations of the loan portfolio by regulatory
          agencies and others.  The process by which management determines
          the appropriate level of the ALLL, and the corresponding
          provision for possible credit losses, involves considerable
          judgment; therefore, no assurance can be given that future losses
          will not vary from current estimates.

          Sources of Funds

          Deposits.  MidSouth's deposits grew $42.5 million, from $96.5
          million at year-end 1994 to $139.0 million at year-end 1995.   A
          total of $13.8 million of the $42.5 million represents deposits
          acquired from Sugarland.  In addition, year-end 1995 deposits
          associated with two public funds contracts totaled $11.0 million.
          A deposit promotion held during the fourth quarter of 1995 which
          offered incentives to employees to attract new deposit dollars
          resulted in the addition of $10.5 million in deposits.
          MidSouth's Opelousas and Super 1 Foods - New Iberia branches,
          both opened in 1995, contributed $3.2 and $1.2 million in deposit
          dollars as of December 31, 1995.

          With the deposit additions described above, MidSouth experienced
          a change in deposit mix during 1995.  At year-end 1995, 29% of
          total deposits reflected non-interest bearing demand accounts,
          while interest-bearing NOW, money market and savings accounts
          represented 36% and certificates of deposit 35% of total
          deposits.  This deposit mix reflects a higher percentage of
          interest-bearing deposits as compared to 1994.  Non-interest
          bearing demand deposits represented 32% of total deposits at
          year-end 1994.  Interest-bearing deposits consisted of 32% NOW,
          money market and savings deposits and 36% certificates of deposit
          for the same period.

          The percentage of certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more 
          decreased from year-end 1994 to year-end 1995, from 11% to 9% 
          of total deposits.

          MidSouth's deposits grew $6.1 million, from $90.4 million at
          year-end 1993 to $96.5 million at year-end 1994.  The increase
          resulted primarily from deposits that accompanied new loan
          relationships and the continued efforts by management to
          reinforce quality customer service through on-going training of
          personnel.

          MidSouth has no brokered deposits.  Although time deposits of
          $100,000 can exhibit greater volatility due to changes in
          interest rates and other factors than do core deposits,
          management believes that any volatility experienced could be
          adequately met with current levels of asset liquidity or access
          to alternate funding sources.  Additional information on
          MidSouth's deposits appears in Note 7 to  MidSouth's Consolidated
          Financial Statements.

          Borrowed Funds.  As of December 31, 1995, MidSouth maintained two
          repurchase agreements totalling $175,904.   Long term borrowings
          included a note payable to a financial institution with a
          remaining principal balance of $463,197 at December 31, 1995.
          Included in long term borrowings at December 31, 1994 is a note
          payable by the MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership
          Plan (the "ESOP") to an unaffiliated bank, with a principal
          balance at December 31, 1994 of $73,021.  On May 31, 1995, the
          ESOP note with the unaffiliated bank was paid in full with
          proceeds funded by MidSouth National Bank.  Accordingly, the ESOP
          note was eliminated from total loans and long-term debt as an
          intercompany transaction in MidSouth's December 31, 1995
          consolidated financial statements.  A total of $509,420 in funds
          borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (the "FHLB")
          are recorded as long term borrowings for the period ended
          December 31, 1995.  Additional information regarding the notes
          payable is provided in Note 8 to MidSouth's Consolidated
          Financial Statements.

          The current ESOP note held by the Bank is at a fixed rate of
          7.00% payable in monthly installments of $2,200 with payment in
          full due on March 10, 1998.  The ESOP obligation constitutes a
          reduction of MidSouth's stockholders' equity  because the primary
          source of loan repayment is contributions by the Bank to the
          ESOP; however, the loan is not guaranteed by either the Bank or
          MidSouth.

          During 1994, the Bank used its membership in the FHLB to match
          borrowed funds with several mortgage loan fundings.   The
          borrowings range from five to seven years in maturity and bear
          interest at rates between 5.49% and 7.28%.

          Capital.  Substantial earnings for 1995 combined with capital
          received from the acquisition of Sugarland improved capital
          ratios for MidSouth and the Bank.  As of December 31, 1995, Tier
          1 capital to average adjusted assets (the "leverage ratio") was
          6.99% as compared to 6.45% at December 31, 1994.  Tier 1 capital
          to risk weighted assets was 12.11% and 10.95% for 1995 and 1994,
          respectively.  Total capital to risk weighted assets was 13.36%
          and 12.20%, respectively, for the same periods.  All ratios were
          above the minimums required by federal regulations.

          The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
          established a capital-based supervisory system for all insured
          depository institutions that imposes increasing restrictions on
          the institution as its capital deteriorates.  In December 1993,
          the Bank's classification improved to "well capitalized" as a
          result of the termination of a written agreement with the OCC.
          The Bank continued to be classified as "well capitalized"
          throughout 1994 and 1995 and also improved its supervisory
          subgroup rating.  No significant restrictions are placed on the
          Bank as a result of this classification.

          As discussed under the heading "Balance Sheet Analysis -
          Securities," $190,569 in unrealized gains on securities
          available-for-sale net of a deferred tax liability of $91,619
          were recorded as an addition to stockholders' equity as of
          December 31, 1995.  In contrast, $1,403,000 in unrealized losses
          on securities available for sale net of a deferred tax asset of
          $477,000 were recorded as a reduction of stockholders' equity as
          of December 31, 1994.   While the net unrealized gain or loss on
          securities available for sale is required to be reported as a
          separate component of stockholders' equity, it does not affect
          operating results or regulatory capital ratios.  The net
          unrealized gains and losses reported for December 31, 1995 and
          1994 did, however,  effect MidSouth's equity to assets ratio for
          financial reporting purposes.  The ratio of equity to assets  was
          6.58% for year-end 1995 and 5.36% for year-end 1994.

          Interest Rate Sensitivity.  Interest rate sensitivity is the
          sensitivity of net interest income to changes in market rates of
          interest.  The initial step in the process of monitoring
          MidSouth's interest rate sensitivity involves the preparation of
          a basic "gap" analysis of earning assets and interest-bearing
          liabilities. The analysis presents differences in the repricing
          and maturity characteristics of earning assets and interest-
          bearing liabilities for selected time periods.

          During 1995, MidSouth continued to use a correspondent bank to
          provide the Sendero model of asset and liability management.  The
          Sendero model uses basic gap data and additional information
          regarding rates and prepayment characteristics to construct a gap
          analysis that factors in repricing characteristics and cash flows
          from payments received on loans and mortgage-backed securities.
          The resulting Sendero gap analysis is presented in Table 5.

          With the exception of NOW, money market and savings deposits, the
          table presents interest-bearing liabilities on a contractual
          basis.  While NOW, money market and savings deposits are
          contractually due on demand, historically, MidSouth has
          experienced stability in these deposits despite changes in market
          rates.  Presentation of these deposits in the table, therefore,
          reflects delayed repricing throughout the time horizon.

          The resulting cumulative gap at one year is approximately
          $23,479,000 which indicates MidSouth's total earning assets and
          interest-bearing liabilities maturing within one year are
          mismatched at December 31, 1995.  The ratio of the one year
          cumulative gap to total assets of 15.53% is above internal policy
          guidelines by 53 basis points.  MidSouth's internal policy
          targets a one year cumulative gap position of  a positive or
          negative 15% of total assets.  The Funds Management Committee

          approved the deviation from policy due to MidSouth's high federal
          funds sold position at year-end 1995 of $15,800,000.  The board
          and management have approved purchases of securities that should
          reduce MidSouth's asset sensitivity at the cumulative one year
          position.

          The Sendero model also uses the gap analysis data in Table 5 and
          additional information regarding rates and payment
          characteristics to perform three simulation tests.  The tests use
          market data to perform rate shock, rate cycle and rate forecast
          simulations to measure the impact of changes in interest rates,
          the yield curve and interest rate forecasts on MidSouth's net
          interest income and market value of portfolio equity.  Results of
          the simulations are reviewed and discussed at MidSouth's
          quarterly Funds Management Committee meetings.

          MidSouth does not invest in derivatives and has none in its
          securities portfolio.

          Liquidity

          Bank Liquidity.  Liquidity is the availability of funds to meet
          contractual obligations as they become due and to fund
          operations.  The Bank's primary liquidity needs involve its
          ability to accomodate customers demands for deposit withdrawals
          as well as their requests for credit.  Liquidity is deemed
          adequate when sufficient cash to meet these needs can be promptly
          raised at a reasonable cost to the Bank.

          Liquidity is provided primarily by two sources:  a stable base of
          funding sources and an adequate level of assets that can be
          readily converted into cash.  MidSouth's core deposits are its
          most stable and important source of funding.  Further, the low
          variability of the core deposit base lessens the need for
          liquidity.  Cash deposits at other banks, federal funds sold and
          principal payments received on loans and mortgage-backed
          securities provide the primary sources of asset liquidity for the
          Bank.

          In addition to these primary sources, the Bank has certain other
          sources available to meet the demand for funds if necessary.
          Approximately $3.8 million in securities maturing within twelve
          months provides an additional source of liquidity.  These
          securities could be liquidated if necessary prior to maturity.
          MidSouth also has borrowing capabilities with three correspondent
          banks.

          Parent Company Liquidity.  At the parent company level, cash is
          needed primarily to service outstanding debt and pay dividends on
          preferred and common stock.  The parent company has a note
          payable to a financial institution, the terms of which are
          described in Note 8 to MidSouth's Consolidated Financial
          Statements.  Funds to meet payments on the note come primarily
          from the sale of MidSouth's common stock to the Directors'
          Deferred Compensation Trust and to the ESOP and from funds
          received from the Bank under a tax sharing agreement with the
          parent company.  Funds received from these sources and from the
          exercise of stock options described in Note 12 to MidSouth's
          Consolidated Financial Statements are expected to be sufficient
          to meet debt service obligations throughout 1996.  Earnings of
          the Bank in 1994 eliminated the Bank's accumulated retained
          
                                    24

<PAGE>          

          earnings deficit reported at December 31, 1993.  Therefore, as of
          January 1, 1995, the Bank had the ability to pay dividends to the
          parent company without prior approval from its primary regulator.
          The dividends could provide additional liquidity for the parent
          company if needed.

          Dividends.  The primary source of cash dividends on MidSouth's
          preferred and common stock is distributions from the Bank.  As
          stated above under "Parent Company Liquidity", earnings recorded
          for 1994 eliminated an accumulated retained earnings deficit,
          thereby giving the Bank the ability to declare dividends to the
          parent company without prior approval of its primary regulator.
          However, the Bank's ability to pay dividends would be prohibited
          if the result would cause the Bank's regulatory capital to fall
          below minimum requirements.

          On May 12, 1995,  MidSouth received written consent from its
          lender that allows payment of  dividends or distributions to its
          shareholders.  Subsequently, the Bank declared a dividend in the
          amount of $100,000.00 on September 21, 1995 to the parent company
          for the purpose of paying dividends on MidSouth's common stock.
          MidSouth's first common stock cash dividend of $.06 per share was
          paid on October 2, 1995 to shareholders of record on September
          18, 1995.  Common stock shareholders of record on December 17,
          1995 received an additional $.06 per share dividend on January 2,
          1996.  It is the intention of the Board of Directors of MidSouth
          to continue to pay quarterly dividends on the common stock at the
          rate of $.06 per share.  Cash dividends on the common stock are
          subject to payment of dividends on the preferred stock issued in
          conjunction with the acquisition of Sugarland State Bank, as well
          as other considerations.

          On September 15, 1995, MidSouth effected a four for three stock
          split by way of a stock dividend to its common stockholders of
          record as of September 7, 1995.  The stock split increased the
          common shares outstanding at the time from 720,415 to 960,553.

          On February 18, 1994, MidSouth paid a 5% common stock dividend to
          shareholders of record on February 4, 1994.  The dividend
          increased MidSouth's common stock outstanding at the time from
          670,638 shares to 705,327 shares.

          No dividends were payable on MidSouth's preferred stock in 1995.
          Assuming no conversion of preferred stock in 1996, the aggregate
          amount of dividends on the preferred stock in 1996 is expected to
          be $163,065.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
_____________________________________________________________________


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   
   The consolidated financial statements of MidSouth Bancorp, Inc.
   (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary MidSouth National
   Bank (the Bank), have been prepared in accordance with generally
   accepted accounting principles and conform with general
   practices within the banking industry.  A summary of significant
   accounting policies follows:
   
   Description of Business - The Company is a bank holding company
   headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana, providing banking
   services to commercial and retail customers through its wholly
   owned subsidiary, the Bank.
   
   The Bank is community oriented and focuses primarily on offering
   competitive commercial and consumer loan and deposit services to
   individuals and small to middle market business.
   
   Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements of the
   Company include the accounts of the Company and the Bank.
   Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
   eliminated.
   
   Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
   conformity with generally accepted accounting principles require
   management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
   reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of
   contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
   statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
   during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from
   those estimates.
   
   Securities - Securities are being accounted for in accordance
   with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115
   "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
   Securities."  SFAS No. 115, which was adopted effective December
   31, 1993, requires the classification of securities into one of
   three categories:  trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-
   maturity.
   
   Management determines the appropriate classification of debt
   securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates this
   classification periodically.  Trading account securities are
   held for resale in anticipation of short-term market movements.
   Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the
   Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the
   securities to maturity.  Securities not classified as held-to-
   maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale.  The
   Company had no trading account securities during the three years
   ended December 31, 1995.  Held-to-maturity securities are stated
   at amortized cost.  Available-for-sale securities are stated at
   market value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of income
   taxes, reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity
   until realized.
   
   The amortized cost of debt securities classified as held-to-
   maturity or available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of
   premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity or, in the case
   of mortgage-backed securities, over the estimated life of the
   security.  Amortization, accretion and accrued interest are
   included in interest income on securities.  Realized gains and
   losses, and declines in value judged to be other than temporary,
   are included in net securities gains.  Gains and losses on the
   sale of securities available-for-sale are determined using the
   specific-identification method.
   
   Loans -Loan origination fees and certain direct origination
   costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the
   yield on the related loan.  Interest on commercial and real
   
                                    33

<PAGE>
   
   estate mortgage loans is recorded as income based upon the
   principal amount outstanding.  Unearned income on installment
   loans is credited to operations based on a method which
   approximates the interest method.  Where doubt exists as to
   collectibility of a loan, the accrual of interest is
   discontinued and payments received are applied first to
   principal.  Upon such discontinuances all unpaid accrued
   interest is reversed.  Interest income is recorded after
   principal has been satisfied and as payments are received.
   
   The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon
   current information and events, it believes it is probable that
   the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according
   to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The Company's
   impaired loans include troubled debt restructurings, and
   performing and non-performing major loans in which full payment
   of principal or interest is not expected.  The Company
   calculates a reserve required for impaired loans based on the
   present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
   loan's effective interest rate, or at the loan's observable
   market price or the fair value of its collateral.
   
   Generally, loans of all types which become 90 days delinquent
   are in the process of collection through repossession,
   foreclosure or have been deemed currently uncollectible.  Loans
   deemed currently uncollectible are charged-off against the
   reserve account.  As a matter of policy, loans are placed on a
   non-accrual status where doubt exist as to collectibility.
   
   Reserve for Loan Losses - The reserve for loan losses is a
   valuation account available to absorb probable losses on loans.
   All losses are charged to the reserve for loan losses when the
   loss actually occurs or when a determination is made that a loss
   is likely to occur; recoveries are credited to the reserve for
   loan losses at the time of recovery.  Periodically during the
   year management estimates the likely level of future losses to
   determine whether the reserve is adequate to absorb reasonable
   anticipated losses in the existing portfolio based on the
   Company's past loan loss experience, known inherent risks in the
   portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers
   ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying
   collateral and current economic conditions.  Based on these
   estimates, the reserve for loan losses is increased by charges
   to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries).
   
   Premises and Equipment - Premises and equipment are stated at
   cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
   Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-
   line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which
   generally range from 3 to 30 years.  Leasehold improvements are
   amortized over the estimated useful lives of the improvements or
   the term of the lease, whichever is shorter.
   
   Other Real Estate Owned - Real estate properties acquired
   through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and are
   initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure
   establishing a new cost basis.  After foreclosure, valuations
   are periodically performed by management and the real estate is
   carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost
   to sell.  Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in
   the valuation allowance are included in loss on foreclosed real
   estate.
   
   Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes are provided for timing
   differences between items of income or expense reported in the
   consolidated financial statements and those reported for income
   tax purposes.
   
   In the first quarter of the year ending December 31, 1993, the
   Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
   Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
   (SFAS No. 109).  This Statement requires, among other things,
   recognition of future tax benefits, measured by enacted tax
   rates, attributable to deductible temporary differences between
   financial statement and income tax basis of assets and
   liabilities and to tax net operating loss carryforwards, to the
   extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than
   not.

   Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the
   fair value of net assets purchased and is being amortized over
   15 years.
   
   Earnings Per Common Share - In 1995, the computation of primary
   earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of
   outstanding common shares and additional shares assuming the
   exercise of stock options.  The computation of fully diluted
   earnings per share further assumes the conversion of the
   convertible preferred stock.  In 1994 and 1993, both primary and
   fully diluted earnings per common share were based on the
   weighted average number of outstanding common shares since the
   outstanding common stock equivalents did not have a material
   dilutive effect in those years.  The shares used in the
   computations for the three years ended December 31, 1995 were as
   follows:

   The Bank generally makes loans in its market areas of Lafayette,
   Jefferson Davis, Iberia, St. Landry and St. Martin Parishes.
   Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued
   amounted to $387,453 and $249,693 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
   respectively.  If interest on those loans had been accrued, such
   income would have approximated $42,000, $25,000 and $39,000 for
   the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.  Interest
   income on those loans, which is recorded only when received,
   amounted to $16,808, $8,385 and $18,470 for 1995, 1994 and 1993,
   respectively.
   
   An analysis of the activity in the allowance for loan losses is

   The note payable to a financial institution bears interest at
   prime plus 1%, is dated July 18, 1989, and is due on July 20,
   1999.  This note is payable in 120 monthly installments at
   increasing amounts over the term of the loan.  In addition, the
   payments may be changed under the terms of the note when the
   interest rate is adjusted.  At December 31, 1995, this note bore
   an interest rate of 9.5%.  The Company has pledged all of the
   Bank's stock as collateral for the note.  A portion of the loan
   is guaranteed by a group of eleven individuals, some of whom are
   Directors of the Company, in the amount of $30,000 each.  The
   Company's ability to meet its debt requirements will depend upon
   its ability to receive sufficient dividends from the Bank.
   
   At December 31, 1995, the Bank had four FHLB borrowings
   outstanding.  These borrowings bear interest at rates between
   5.49% and 7.28%, and have maturities from February 1999 to June
   2001.  Monthly principal and interest payments ranges from
   approximately $350 on the smallest borrowing to approximately
   $4,710 on the largest borrowing, with balloon payments due at
   maturity.  The borrowings are secured by a blanket floating lien
   on approximately $21,600,000 of the Bank's mortgage loans.
   
   Prior to 1995 the ESOP note payable to a financial institution
   was included in the Company's notes payable, with a
   corresponding reduction of stockholders' equity because the
   primary source of loan repayments is contributions by the
   Company to the ESOP.  During 1995, the ESOP note payable was
   paid in full to the financial institution with proceeds received
   from a loan from the Bank.  Therefore, the note payable and the
   related loan were eliminated in the consolidation.

   Rental expense under operating leases for 1995, 1994 and 1993
   was $266,558, $230,756, and $164,658, respectively.  Sublease
   income amounted to $31,800 in 1995 and 1994.
   
   The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal
   precedings arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the
   opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these legal
   proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the
   Company's financial position or results of operations.

10.INCOME TAXES
   
   Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
   differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
   liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts
   used for income tax purposes.  Significant components of the
   Bank's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31,
   1995 and 1994 are as follows:

11.EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
   
   The Company sponsors a leveraged employee stock ownership plan
   (ESOP) that covers all employees who meet minimum age and
   service requirements.  The Company makes annual contributions to
   the ESOP in amounts as determined by the Board of Directors.
   These contributions are used to pay debt service and purchase
   additional shares.  The ESOP shares initially were pledged as
   collateral for its debt.  As the debt is repaid, shares are
   released from collateral and allocated to active employees,
   based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year.  Prior
   to 1995, the ESOP note payable was to a financial institution.
   Because the source of the loan payments are contributions
   received by the ESOP from the Company, such debt was included in
   the Company's notes payable, with a corresponding reduction of
   stockholders' equity.  During 1995, the ESOP note payable to the
   financial institution was paid in full with proceeds received
   from a loan from the Bank.  The balance of the ESOP note payable
   to the Bank was $54,157 at December 31, 1995.  In accordance
   with Statement of Position 93-6 (SOP), shares purchased
   subsequent to December 31, 1992 are based on the current market
   price of the shares.  The Company has elected not to apply the
   provisions of the SOP to shares purchased on or before December
   31, 1992.  ESOP compensation expense was $78,000 for the year
   ended December 31, 1995.  ESOP compensation expense was $60,000
   in each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993.  The ESOP
   shares as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 were as follows:

12.STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
   
   On July 31, 1995, the Company issued 187,286 shares of Series A
   Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares with a stated value of
   $14.25.  The Convertible Preferred Shares are convertible at any
   time at the option of the holder into common stock, at the rate
   of 1.333 shares of Common Stock for each Convertible Preferred
   Share.  On or after July 31, 2000, the Convertible Preferred
   Shares are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the
   Company at the stated value of $14.25.  The liquidation value of
   the Convertible Preferred Stock is $14.25 plus accrued
   dividends.  Dividends on the Convertible Preferred Shares are
   determined each year based on an annual rate, fixed on December
   31 of each year for the ensuing calendar year and was 6.11% at
   December 31, 1995.  The dividends are cumulative and payable
   quarterly in arrears.  Holders of Convertible Preferred Shares
   are not entitled to normal voting rights unless certain
   conditions exists.
   
   The payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company is
   restricted by various regulatory and statutory limitations.  In
   1996, the Bank will have available to pay dividends to the
   Parent Company, without regulatory approval approximately
   $2,365,000, plus net retained income earned in 1996 prior to the
   dividend declaration date.

   The Company has granted options to certain key employees to
   purchase shares of the Company's common stock at $7.14 per
   share.  These options expire on December 31, 1996.  As of
   December 31, 1995, 4,000 of these options have been exercised.
   At December 31, 1995 and 1994, 24,000 and 21,000 options,
   respectively, remained unexercised.
   
13.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
   
   The Bank is a party to various financial instruments with off-
   balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the
   financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure
   to fluctuations in interest rates.  These financial instruments
   include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of
   credit.  Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements
   of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts
   recognized in the statements of financial condition.  The
   contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the
   extent of the involvement the Bank has in particular classes of
   financial instruments.
   
   The Bank's exposure to loan loss in the event of nonperformance
   by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments
   to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial
   guarantees is represented by the contractual amount of those
   instruments.  The Bank uses the same credit policies, including
   considerations of collateral requirements, in making these
   commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-
   balance sheet instruments.

Financial instruments whose contract
  amounts represent credit risk:
    Commitments to extend credit                        $11,621,000   $6,859,000
    Standby letters of credit                               704,000      670,000


</TABLE>
    

   Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a
   customer as long as there is no violation of any condition
   established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed
   expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require
   payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to
   expire without being fully drawn upon, the total commitment
   amounts disclosed above do not necessarily represent future cash
   requirements.
   
   Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are
   conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the
   performance of a customer to a third party.  The credit risk
   involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
   that involved in extending loan facilities to its customers.
   Approximately 63% of these letters of credit were secured by
   marketable securities, cash on deposits or other assets at
   December 31, 1995.
   
14.REGULATORY MATTERS
   
   The Bank is required to maintain certain minimum capital levels.
   At December 31, 1995, the Bank was in compliance with statutory
   minimum capital requirements.  Following is a summary of the
   actual capital levels at December 31, 1995:

<S>                                                                     <C>
Core Capital vs. Risk Assets (Tier 1)                                   12.11%
Qualifying Capital vs. Risk Assets (Tier 2)                             13.36%
Core Capital vs. Total Assets (Leveraged)                                6.99%


</TABLE>    
    
                                    44    
                                    

   Risk-based capital requirements are intended to make regulatory
   capital more sensitive to risk elements of the Bank.  Currently,
   the Bank is required to maintain a minimum risk-based capital
   ratio of 8.0%, with not less than 4.0% in Tier 1 capital.  In
   addition, the Bank must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio
   (Tier 1 capital to total assets) of at least 3.0% based upon the
   regulators latest composite rating of the institutions.
   
   The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of
   1991 ("FDICIA") required that each federal banking agency
   implement prompt corrective actions for institutions that it
   regulates.  The rules provide that an institution is "well
   capitalized" if its total risk-based capital ratio is 10% or
   greater, its Tier 1 risked-based capital ratio is 6% or greater,
   its leverage is 5% or greater and the institution is not subject
   to a capital directive.  Under this regulation, the Bank is
   deemed to be "well capitalized" as of December 31, 1995 based
   upon the most recent notification from their regulators.  There
   are no conditions or events since those notifications that
   management believes would change their classifications.
   
15.DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
   
   The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the
   fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it
   is practicable to estimate that value:
   
   Cash, Due From Banks and Federal Funds Sold - For those short-
   term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate
   of fair value.
   
   Securities - For securities, fair value equals quoted market
   price, if available.  If a quoted market price is not available,
   fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar
   securities.
   
   Loans - The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the
   future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans
   would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for
   the same remaining maturities.
   
   Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts,
   and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on
   demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of fixed-maturity
   certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently
   offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
   
   Long-Term Bonds and Notes - Rates currently available to the
   Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are
   used to estimate fair value of existing debt.
   
   Commitments - The fair value of commitments to extend credit was
   not significant.
   
   The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments
   are as follows at December 31, 1995 (in thousands):
