             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)



         1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in
         accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore, do not
         include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation
         of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. All normal,
         recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are
         necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, have
         been included. These interim financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the audited financial statements and note disclosures
         for ISB Financial Corporation (the "Company") previously filed with the
         Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company's Annual Report on
         Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

         BUSINESS

         The Company's principal business is conducted through its wholly owned
         subsidiary, IBERIABANK (the "Bank"), which conducts business from its
         main office located in New Iberia, Louisiana and 43 full-service branch
         offices located in the cities of New Iberia, Lafayette, Scott,
         Carencro, St. Martinville, Crowley, Rayne, Kaplan, Jeanerette,
         Franklin, Morgan City, Abbeville, Ruston, Monroe, West Monroe, Gretna,
         Marrero, River Ridge, Metairie, New Orleans and Kenner, Louisiana. The
         Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insures the Bank's
         deposits to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Bank is a
         Louisiana chartered commercial bank. The Bank is subject to examination
         and regulation by the Office of Financial Institutions of the State of
         Louisiana, which is the Bank's chartering authority and primary
         regulator. The Bank is also subject to regulation by the FDIC and to
         certain reserve requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board
         ("FRB"). The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas
         ("FHLB").

         PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
         Company, the Bank and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries. All
         significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
         in consolidation.


         2.     LONG TERM DEBT

         On March 4, 1999, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit
         agreement with Union Planters Bank, N.A in the amount of $15.0 million.
         This revolving line of credit is to be used for general operating
         purposes, including the repurchase of the Company's common stock and
         for capital investment in the Bank. The maturity date of the agreement
         is March 31, 2001. The Company is required to make quarterly payments
         of interest at an interest rate equal to Wall Street Prime minus .50%
         and any balance outstanding under the agreement will be due at
         maturity. As security for the line of credit, the Company has pledged
         100% of the outstanding common stock of the Bank. At March 31, 1999,
         the Company had drawn $1.0 million on the line of credit.

                                                                               7

         at March 31, 1999 compared to $761.2 million at December 31, 1998. Such
         decrease was the result of a $16.5 million, or 5.5%, decrease in the
         balance of single-family residential mortgage loans, a $1.3 million, or
         5.2%, decrease in automobile loans, a $1.4 million, or 16.8%, decrease
         in loans on savings and a $1.2 million, or 4.3%, decrease in other
         consumer loans, which was offset by a $2.8 million, or 3.3%, increase
         in commercial business loans, a $8.5 million, or 7.2%, increase in
         commercial real estate loans and a $8.5 million, or 7.5%, increase in
         indirect automobile loans.. The changes in the loan portfolio reflect
         management's efforts to increase the originations of commercial real
         estate, commercial business, indirect automobile loans and consumer
         loans. Such loans generally are considered to involve more risk than 1
         - 4 family residential mortgage loans, but generally have higher
         yields. The Company's loan to deposit ratio at March 31, 1999 was 64.6%
         compared to 62.5% at December 31 1998. For additional information on
         loans, see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

         Loans held for sale decreased $5.5 million, or 30.0%, to $12.9 million
         compared to $18.5 million at December 31, 1998. Loans held for sale are
         single-family residential mortgage loans to be sold in the secondary
         market.

         Interest-bearing deposits at other institutions decreased $34.4
         million, or 31.6%, to $74.5 million at March 31, 1999, compared to
         $108.9 million at December 31, 1998. Such decrease was primarily used
         to fund the purchase of investment securities and to fund the net
         decline in deposits.

         The Company's investment securities available for sale increased $13.7
         million, or 14.1%, to $110.8 million at March 31, 1999, compared to
         $97.1 million at December 31, 1998. Such increase was the result of the
         purchase of $24.8 million of investment securities available for sale,
         which was partially offset by the maturity or redemption of $9.5
         million of investment securities available for sale and by $32,000 of
         amortization of premium on such securities.

         Mortgage-backed securities decreased $7.3 million, or 2.6%, to $270.5
         million at March 31, 1999, compared to $277.8 million at December 31,
         1998. Such decrease was the result of $17.0 million of repayments of
         mortgage-backed securities, which was partially offset by $9.7 million
         of purchases of mortgage-backed securities.

         Deposits decreased $41.5 million, or 3.4%, to $1,177.2 million at March
         31, 1999, compared to $1,218.7 million at December 31, 1998. The
         decrease in deposits was primarily the result of a large over-night
         deposit made on December 31, 1998 that was withdrawn the next business 
         day and a decrease in time deposits due to lower pricing of 
         non-relationship accounts.

         Total stockholders' equity decreased $176,000, to $123.8 million at
         March 31, 1999. The decrease was the result of $1.4 million of treasury
         stock acquired, $974,000 of cash dividends declared on common stock and
         a $1.1 million, after taxes, decrease in accumulated other
         comprehensive income, which was partially offset by the Company's net
         income of $2.9 million, $332,000 of common stock released by the ESOP,
         $117,000 of common stock earned by participants of the Recognition and
         Retention Plan and $16,000 of common stock issued out of treasury.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company reported net income of $2.9 million for the three months
         ended March 31, 1999, compared to $2.1 million earned during the three
         months ended March 31, 1998. The Company's net interest income 
         increased $3.0 million and total noninterest income increased $1.7 
         million during the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to the 
         first quarter of 1998. Such increases were partially offset by a 
         $140,000 increase in the provision for loan losses, a $3.4 million 
         increase in noninterest expense and a $369,000 increase in income tax
         expense. The increases in interest income, interest expense, 
         noninterest income and noninterest expense were primarily the result of
         the acquisition of branches from the former First Commerce Corporation 
         ("First Commerce") in September 1998. The Bank paid $29.2 million of 
         cash as a deposit premium and purchased $126.6 million of loans, 
         $5.7 million of premises and equipment and $753,000 of other assets. 
         The Bank also assumed $452.6 million of deposits and $2.7 million of 
         other liabilities from First Commerce. The Bank received $292.4 million
         of net cash in the transaction.


                                                                              11

         NET INTEREST INCOME

         Net interest income increased $3.0 million, or 32.7%, to $12.0 million
         in the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $9.0 million in
         the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase was due to a $5.4
         million, or 30.8% increase in interest income, which was partially
         offset by a $2.5 million, or 28.8%, increase in interest expense. The
         increase in interest income was the result of a $360.7 million, or
         40.9%, increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets,
         which was partially offset by a 57 basis point (100 basis points being
         equal to 1%) decrease in the yield earned on interest-earning assets.
         The increase in interest expense was the result of a $337.8 million, or
         43.7%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities,
         which was partially offset by a 46 basis point decrease in the cost
         thereof. The increases in the average balances of interest-earning
         assets and interest-bearing liabilities were due primarily to the 
         acquisition from First Commerce in September 1998. The Company's 
         interest rate spread (the difference between the weighted average yield
         on interest-earning assets and the weighted average cost of interest-
         bearing liabilities) and net interest margin (net interest income as 
         a percentage of average interest-earning assets) amounted to 3.43% and 
         3.85%, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 1999, 
         compared to 3.55% and 4.09%, respectively, for the comparable period in
         1998.


         INTEREST INCOME

         The Company's total interest income was $23.0 million for the three
         months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $17.6 million for the three
         months ended March 31, 1998. The reason for the $5.4 million, or 30.8%,
         increase in interest income was a $2.1 million, or 14.8%, increase in
         interest income from loans, a $466,000, or 37.8%, increase in interest
         and dividends on investment securities, a $2.5 million, or 138.8%,
         increase in interest on mortgage-backed securities and a $357,000, or
         73.5%, increase in interest on deposits held at other institutions. The
         increase in interest income from loans was the result of a $114.5
         million, or 17.3%, increase in the average balance of loans, which was
         partially offset by a 18 basis point decrease in the yield earned
         thereon. The increase in interest income from investment securities was
         the result of a $31.0 million, or 38.5%, increase in the average
         balance of investment securities, which was partially offset by a three
         basis point decrease in the yield earned thereon. The increase in
         interest income from mortgage-backed securities was the result of a
         $164.6 million, or 149.3%, increase in the average balance of
         mortgage-backed securities, which was partially offset by a 27 basis
         point decrease in the yield earned thereon. The increase in interest
         from deposits at other institutions was the result of a $50.6 million,
         or 171.6%, increase in the average balance of deposits at other
         institutions, which was partially offset by a 239 basis point decrease
         in the yield earned thereon.

         INTEREST EXPENSE

         The Company's total interest expense was $11.0 million during the three
         months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $8.5 million for the three
         months ended March 31, 1998. The reasons for the $2.5 million, or
         28.8%, increase in interest expense was a $2.5 million, or 31.8%,
         increase in interest expense on deposits due to a $338.9 million, or
         46.6%, increase in interest-bearing deposits, which was partially
         offset by a 43 basis point decrease in the cost of such deposits. The
         increase in interest expense on deposits was partially offset by a
         $18,000, or 2.4%, decrease in interest expense on FHLB advances due to
         a $1.1 million, or 2.4%, decrease in the average balance of FHLB
         advances, together with a one basis point decrease in the cost of such
         advances.


         PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

         The provision for loan losses was $370,000 in the three months ended
         March 31, 1999 as compared to $230,000 for the same period in 1998. The
         increase in the provision for loan losses was the result of the growth
         in the commercial loan and indirect automobile loan portfolios together
         with the increase in the amount of non-performing loans. The Company
         had $5.1 million of non-performing loans, or 

                                                                              13
<PAGE>   14
         .37% of total assets, at March 31, 1999, compared to $2.4 million, or
         .26% of total assets, at March 31, 1998. As of March 31, 1999, the
         ratio of the Company's allowance for loan losses to non-performing
         loans was 142.0%, compared to 126.5% at December 31, 1998.

         NONINTEREST INCOME

         Noninterest income increased $1.7 million, or 93.9%, in the three
         months ended March 31, 1999 to $3.5 million, compared to $1.8 million
         for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Such increase was due
         primarily to a $123,000, or 68.7%, increase in gain on the sale of
         loans in the secondary market, a $957,000, or 103.7%, increase in
         service charges on deposit accounts, a $157,000, or 48.6%, increase in
         late charges and other fees on loans and a $426,000, or 119.0%,
         increase in other income. The increase in service charges on deposit
         accounts was due primarily to the increased number of accounts that are
         subject to such service charges.


         NONINTEREST EXPENSE

         Noninterest expense increased $3.4 million, or 48.5%, in the three
         months ended March 31, 1999, to $10.5 million, compared to $7.1 million
         for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Such increase was due
         primarily to a $1.6 million, or 45.8%, increase in salaries and
         employee benefits resulting from the increased staff added in the last
         half of 1998 as a result primarily of the branch purchase in September
         1998, a $244,000, or 60.0%, increase in depreciation expense primarily
         resulting from the fixed assets acquired in the branch purchase in
         September 1998 and the in-house data processing system installed in
         September 1998, a $302,000, or 63.6%, increase in occupancy expense
         primarily resulting from the branch purchase, a $484,000, or 131.2%,
         increase in the amortization of goodwill and other acquired intangibles
         due to the branch acquisition and a $1.0 million, or 71.3%, increase in
         other expenses, which was partially offset by a $286,000, or 97.9%,
         decrease in computer expense.


         INCOME TAX EXPENSE

         Income tax expense increased $369,000, or 26.6%, in the three months
         ended March 31, 1999 to $1.8 million, compared to $1.4 million for the
         three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase in income tax expense
         was due primarily to the increase in income before income taxes.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a
         product of its operating, investing and financing activities. The
         Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings,
         amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and
         mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and
         other short-term investments and funds provided from operations. While
         scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed
         securities and maturing investment securities and short-term
         investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows
         and loan and mortgage-backed security prepayments are greatly
         influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and
         competition. In addition, the Company invests excess funds in overnight
         deposits and other short-term interest-earning assets, which provide
         liquidity to meet lending requirements. The Bank has been able to
         generate sufficient cash through its deposits as well as borrowings. At
         March 31, 1999, the Company had $45.4 million in outstanding advances
         from the FHLB of Dallas and $1.0 million in outstanding advances from
         Union Planters Bank, N.A.

         Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business
         management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term
         investments such as over-night deposits. On a longer-term basis, the
         Company maintains a strategy of investing in various lending products.
         The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing
         commitments and to pay maturing savings certificates and saving
         withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain a portfolio of
         mortgage-backed and investment securities. At March 31, 1999, the total
         approved loan commitments outstanding amounted to $30.5 million. At the
         same time, commitments under unused lines of credit, including credit
         card lines, amounted to $64.2 million. Certificates of deposit
         scheduled to mature in twelve months or less at March 31, 1999 totaled
         $476.2 million. Based on past experience

                                                                              14
<PAGE>   15
         management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits
         will remain with the Company. The Company anticipates it will continue
         to have sufficient funds to meet its liquidity requirements.

         At March 31, 1999, the Company and its subsidiary had regulatory
         capital, which was in excess of regulatory requirements. The current
         requirements and the Company's actual levels as of March 31, 1999 are
         detailed below (dollars in thousands):

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         The Year 2000 (Y2K) issues affects the ability of computer systems to
         correctly process dates after December 31, 1999. These issues not only
         affect the Bank, but virtually all companies that utilize computer
         information systems.

         In November 1997, the Bank established a Y2K Task Force headed by a
         member of the Bank's senior management team. The mission of this task
         force was to achieve Y2K compliance for all software, hardware and
         environmental systems that were dependent upon computer technology for
         their operation.

         In order to be ready for Year 2000, the Bank's Y2K Task Force developed
         a Year 2000 Action and Assessment Plan (the "Action Plan"). The Action
         Plan was developed using the guidelines outlined in the Federal
         Financial Institution's Examination council, "The Effect of 2000 on
         Computer Systems."

         As part of the assessment phase of the project, the Y2K Task Force
         identified 58 mission critical systems, 28 sensitive and 24
         non-critical applications. As a result of this assessment, the Bank
         undertook an aggressive plan in early 1998 to completely replace all of
         the major application systems with new state- of-the-art technology
         that was Y2K compliant. The conversion to these new systems took place
         in September of 1998. The Bank has incurred capital expenditures
         amounting to approximately $2.5 million for the replacement of the core
         application systems. All other systems were determined by the Task
         Force to be Y2K compliant "as is," or with some minor enhancements
         required. These enhancements are not expected to involve material
         additional costs.

         To assure that all systems are Y2K compliant, internal testing and
         validation began in the fourth quarter of 1998 and is scheduled to be
         completed by June 30, 1999. Currently the Bank is approximately 90%
         complete in its test and validation phase.


                                                                              15

         ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are
         presented at December 31, 1998 in Item 7A of the Company's Annual
         Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
         on March 31, 1999. Management believes there have been no material
         changes in the Company's market risk since December 31, 1998.
