         NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated statements have been prepared by Magna Bancorp, Inc.
(the "Company") in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q without audit.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring
adjustments and those related to adoption of new accounting principles) 
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows at September 30, 1996 and for all periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed 
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 1996 included in the
Company's Annual Report.  The results of operations for the three-month period
ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the operating 
results for the full fiscal year.


Note 2 - Allowance for possible loan losses

The following table summarizes the activity in the allowance for possible loan
losses for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.

Note 3 -- Loans of Concern

At September 30, 1996, the Company had $21,465,560 of loans for which the
accrual of interest has been ceased or reduced.  Accruing loans delinquent 90
days or more and loans on which the terms have been modified by reducing
interest rates and/or modifying payment terms under troubled debt
restructurings totaled $16,802,682 and $427,492, respectively, at 
September 30, 1996.


Note 4 -- Special SAIF Deposit Insurance Assessment

The deposits of savings associations such as Magnolia Federal Bank are insured
by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which together with the 
Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), are the two insurance funds administered by the 
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").  In 1995, the FDIC recognized
that the BIF was fully capitalized at its statutory reserve ratio and reduced
the premium schedule for BIF insured banks to a rate as low as zero percent in
1996.  Federal legislation signed into law September 30, 1996 provides for a
one-time special assessment of 0.657% to be imposed on all SAIF deposits in 
order to recapitalize the SAIF and provide for an ultimate merger of the BIF 
and the SAIF.  This one-time assessment resulted in a $5.9 million charge to 
the Company's pretax earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  The
SAIF recapitalization plan also provides for a reduction in annual SAIF assess-
ment rates in future periods that will result in an estimated annual benefit to
the Company of $1.5 million before income taxes.


Note 5 -- Stock Dividends

On July 19, 1996, the Company declared a two-for-one stock split in the form of
a 100% stock dividend payable on August 15, 1996.  This split increased the 
number of shares outstanding from 6,870,509 to 13,741,018.  All references to
the number of common shares and per common share amounts in the financial 
statements have been adjusted for such stock split.

The Board of Directors
Magna Bancorp, Inc.:

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated statement of financial condition of
Magna Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1996, the related 
condensed consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the three-
month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.  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 review
procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an 
audit 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 the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above 
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 Magna Bancorp,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996, and the related consolidated state-
ments of earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended
(not presented herein); and in our report dated August 23, 1996, 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 June 30, 1996, is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial 
condition from which it has been derived.

                       MAGNA BANCORP, INC.
              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion reviews the financial condition of Magna Bancorp, Inc.
(the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Magnolia Federal 
Bank for Savings (the "Bank"), as of September 30, 1996, and the results of
operations for the three-month period then ended.

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

Total consolidated assets of the Company decreased $6.4 million, or 0.5%, to 
$1.3 billion at September 30, 1996 from June 30, 1996.  This decrease was 
primarily in receivables outstanding and in the amount of cash held in
overnight investment accounts offset by an increase in loans.  Loans held for
investment increased $9.3 million, or 1.1%, to $845.6 million at September
30, 1996 from $836.3 million at June 30, 1996.  The expansion of the Company's 
loan production capabilities through its retail offices and 
broker/correspondent network and the favorable market for the Company's non-
conforming loan products resulted in the continued growth of the Bank's loan
portfolio.  Mortgage-backed securities declined slightly from $166.1 million at
June 30, 1996 to $162.7 million at September 30, 1996 as no new mortgage-backed
securities were issued or purchased to replace repayments.  Total assets do not
include the balance of the Bank's portfolio of loans serviced for others, which
decreased slightly during this period to $2.9 billion.  Deposits declined $9.8
million, or 1.1%, during the three-month period to $912.6 million at September
30, 1996 primarily from a $10.7 million decrease in transaction account 
balances.  This decrease was partially offset by an increase certificates of 
deposits as higher rates paid attracted new deposits.  Borrowings from the 
Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas decreased $4.9 million during the three-month 
period ended September 30, 1996.

Non-performing assets (including non-accruing loans of $21.5 million; troubled 
debt restructuring of $0.4 million; and foreclosed real estate of $11.0 
million) totaled $32.9 million, or 2.52% of assets, at September 30, 1996, 
compared to $33.0 million, or 2.52% of assets, at June 30, 1996.  Foreclosed
real estate increased $733,000 during the current quarter as a result of 
increased single-family foreclosures in the Company's market area.  In order to
obtain the highest sales prices and mitigate its losses, the Company makes any
needed repairs before aggressively marketing these properties.  Accruing loans 
delinquent 90 days or more totaled $16.8 million at September 30, 1996 compared
to $19.5 million at June 30, 1996.  The high level of delinquent accruing loans
is primarily attributable to the purchases of high-rate 90-day delinquent 
FHA/VA insured/guaranteed loans from the Bank's GNMA mortgage loan servicing 
portfolio.  The loans are purchased from GNMA pools to eliminate the cost of 
advancing funds on these high-rate loans to the security holders as required by
GNMA and result in no increase in risk to the Bank.  The quarterly decrease in
the accruing delinquent GNMA loans was due to the Company's curtailment of 
repurchasing loans with low yields.  On a quarterly basis the Bank evaluates 
its loan and real estate portfolios, reviews its historical loss experience, 



                                           10

considers current economic conditions, and determines the adequacy of the 
allowance for possible loan losses.  The allowance for possible loan losses 
was $9.7 million at September 30, 1996, representing 29.5% of the Bank's non-
performing assets and 1.1% of loans receivable at such date.  Real estate 
loans, net, which accounted for 89.7% of the Company's loan portfolio, was 
allocated $8.1 million of the allowance for possible loan losses.  Consumer 
loans of $92.8 million were allocated an allowance for possible loan losses 
of $1.6 million.  The $490,000 in net chargeoffs during the period resulted in 
an annualized net charge off percentage to average loans outstanding of 0.24% 
for the three month period ended September 30, 1996.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------

The Bank is required by regulation to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets 
(cash and certain investment securities generally having remaining maturities 
of less than five years) to meet the funding demands of loan commitments, 
deposit withdrawals and other obligations.  At September 30, 1996, the Bank's 
liquidity ratio (cash and eligible securities as a percentage of net withdraw-
able savings and borrowings due within one year) was 8.8%, exceeding the 
minimum requirement of 5.0%.  The Bank had forward sales commitments of $28.0 
million in mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 1996 and had designated 
$30.5 million of loans and $35.3 million in mortgage-backed securities to serve
as the source for meeting such commitments.  At September 30, 1996, the Bank 
had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $55.8 million.

At September 30, 1996, the Company's total stockholders' equity was $125.8 
million, or $9.16 per share of common stock, compared to $125.8 million at June
30, 1996, or $9.18 per share.  The Bank's regulatory capital at September 30, 
1996 exceeds the three current minimum requirements as follows:

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

The Company had consolidated net earnings of $1.8 million, or $0.13 per share, 
for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996, compared with net earnings
of $5.7 million, or $0.40 per share, for the three-month period ended September
30, 1995.  Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity 
were 0.54% and 5.56%, respectively, for the current period, compared to 1.92% 
and 19.63% for the same period a year ago.  In the current period, the Company
recognized a $5.9 million special one-time Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF") deposit insurance assessment.  Legislation to recapitalize the SAIF of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") was signed into law on 
September 30, 1996 and requires SAIF-insured savings institutions, such as the 
Bank, to pay a one-time special assessment of 0.657% of deposits to 
recapitalize the insurance fund.  Declines in future annual SAIF assessments of
approximately $1.5 million are expected to enhance future earnings and offset
the negative impact on the current quarter's earnings.  Before considering the
special assessment, net earnings were $5.4 million, or $0.39 per share, and 
annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.68% and
17.17%, respectively, for the current quarter.

Net interest income increased slightly to $16.2 million for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1996, compared to $16.1 million for the three-
month period ended September 30, 1995.  Net interest margin for the three-
month period ended September 30, 1996 declined to 5.72% from 6.09% for the same
period a year ago, reflecting a tightening of the spread between the yield on 
the Company's interest-earning assets and cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
Interest income increased $1.3 million, or 4.9%, for the three-month period 
ended September 30, 1996, compared with the prior period as a result of 
increases in average interest-earning asset balances.  Interest expense 
increased $1.2 million during the three-month period eneded September 30, 1996,
reflecting increases in short-term market interest rates as well as increases 
in the average balances of non-deposit borrowings.  The Bank's average cost of 
funds was 4.65% for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996, compared 
to 4.48% for the same period in the prior year.

The provision for possible loan losses was $733,000 for the three-month period
ended September 30, 1996, compared to $133,000 in the same period the prior 
year.  This increase reflects the higher level of consumer loan delinquencies 
and charge-offs, current economic conditions in the Bank's market area, and an 
increase in the Company's loan portfolio.  The provision for possible loan 
losses is based on management's continued evaluation of the real estate and 
consumer loan portfolios and the potential impact of the local and national 
economies.  It reflects management's on-going strategy to maintain the general 
loan loss allowance at an appropriate level designed to help insulate the Bank 
against potential future losses.  Although management uses available 
information to recognize possible loan losses and to determine that the 
carrying value of real estate owned does not exceed its fair market value, 
future additions to the allowance or future writedowns to real estate owned 
may be necessary based on changes in economic or market conditions.

Non-interest income decreased slightly to $9.6 million for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1996, from $9.8 million for the same period a year
ago.  Gains on sales of loans and securities decreased $362,000, primarily
due to a decline in loan origination activity attributable to the current 
increase in long-term interest rates in recent months.  The lower volume of 
loan refinancings resulted in decreases in insurance commissions, appraisal 
fees and other sources of income related to loan closings in the current period
compared to the related 1995 period.  Loan servicing income, which is reported 
net of amortization of purchased mortgage servicing rights of $688,000 and
originated servicing rights of $172,000, increased $193,000 compared to the
same period in 1995.  Service fees on deposits increased $779,000 for the 
three-month period ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same period a year 
ago due to an increase in the number of checking accounts to 157,000 at 
September 30, 1996 from 146,000 at September 30, 1995.  The increase in long-
term market interest rates during the current three-month period ended 
September 30, 1996 impacted the market value of the Company's portfolio of 
loans and securities and resulted in an unrealized loss of $84,000 on trading
securities and loans held for sale compared to a $6,000 unrealized gain
recorded for the same period a year ago.

General and administrative expenses increased $6.4 million,  or 38.8%, to
$22.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996 compared to
the same period in the prior year.  Excluding the $5.9 million expense
related to the special SAIF deposit insurance assessment, general and
administrative expenses increased slightly in the current quarter to $17.0
million from $16.5 million for the same quarter a year ago.  Compensation
expense, the primary source of the increase in recurring expenses, increased
$648,000, or 8.8%, during the current period compared to the three-month
period ended September 30, 1995, primarily due to the higher cost of employee
benefits offered by the Bank to its employees.
