NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Louisiana Bancorp, Inc., a Louisiana corporation (the “Company” or “Louisiana Bancorp”), was organized by the Bank of New Orleans (the “Bank”) in March 2007 to facilitate the conversion of the Bank from the mutual to the stock form (the “Conversion”). The Conversion was completed on July 9, 2007, at which time the Company became the holding company for the Bank and issued 6,345,732 shares of its common stock to certain depositors of the Bank and the Company’s employee stock ownership plan in a subscription offering. The Company is now the Bank’s parent holding company and holds all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Bank.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Bank is a Federal stock form savings bank which attracts deposits from the general public and uses such deposits primarily to originate loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, family residences and other properties, as well as those for other consumer needs.

The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions, and is also subject to the regulations of certain Federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Most of the Bank’s activities are with customers located within the greater New Orleans area in Louisiana. Note B discusses the types of securities in which the Bank invests. Note C discusses the types of lending in which the Bank engages. The Bank does not have any significant concentrations in any one industry or to any one customer.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For the purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks, short-term interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell, all of which were purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

8

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

INVESTMENT 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 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.

Available-for-sale securities are stated at market value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income until realized. The amortized cost of available-for-sale debt securities 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.

Securities designated as held-to-maturity are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of the related premiums and accretion of discounts, using the interest method. The Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity.

The Bank held no trading securities as of September 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006.

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 or losses. Gains and losses on the sale of securities available-for-sale are determined using the specific-identification method.

LOANS

The Bank grants one-to four-family, multi-family residential, commercial, and land mortgage loans, and consumer and construction loans, and lines of credit to customers. Certain first mortgage loans are originated and sold under loan sale agreements. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans secured by properties located throughout the greater New Orleans area. The ability of the Bank’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.

Loans are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balance adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.

When the payment of principal or interest on a loan is delinquent for more than 90 days, or earlier in some cases, the loan is placed on non-accrual status, unless the loan is in the process of collection and the underlying collateral fully supports the carrying value of the loan. If the decision is made to continue accruing interest on the loan, periodic reviews are made to confirm the accruing status of the loan. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest accrued during the current year prior to the judgment of uncollectibility is charged to operations. Interest accrued during prior periods is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Generally, any payments received on non-accrual loans are applied first to outstanding loan amounts and next to the recovery of charged-off loan amounts. Any excess is treated as recovery of lost interest.

9

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The Bank considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it believes it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Bank’s impaired loans include troubled debt restructuring, and performing and non-performing major loans in which full payment of principal or interest is not expected. The Bank calculates an allowance 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.

Subsequent to Hurricane Katrina, the Bank deferred loan payments for certain loans for the months of September, October and November 2005. Interest continued to accrue at the contract rate, and unpaid interest for these months was added to the customer’s balance and re-amortized through the loan’s maturity. For loans which were performing prior to Katrina, the deferral period was not considered in measuring delinquency and performing status.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance available for losses incurred on loans. All losses are charged to the allowance 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 allowance at the time of recovery.

The allowance is an amount that represents the amount of probable and reasonably estimable known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the types and amount of loans in the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, and current economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including, among others, exposure at default, the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impacted loans, value of collateral, estimated losses on our commercial and residential loan portfolios and general amounts for historical loss experience. All of these estimates may be susceptible to significant change.

It should be understood that estimates of future loan losses involve an exercise of judgment. While it is possible that in particular periods, the Bank may sustain losses, which are substantial relative to the allowance for loan losses, it is the judgment of management that the allowance for loan losses reflected in the accompanying statements of condition is adequate to absorb possible losses in the existing loan portfolio.

LOANS HELD-FOR-SALE

Loans held-for-sale include originated mortgage loans intended for sale in the secondary market, which are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value. Loans held-for-sale are identified at the time of origination, in accordance with the Bank’s interest rate risk strategy. In addition, the Bank occasionally sells loans that it originates, but cannot hold, due to regulatory limitations on loans to one borrower, concentrations of credit in a particular property type or industry.

10

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Student loans are held for investment purposes as long as the student is still in school. In accordance with the Bank’s agreement with SLMA, these loans are transferred to the held-for-sale category and are sold, once the student has gone into repayment status.

LOAN FEES, LOAN COSTS, DISCOUNTS AND PREMIUMS

Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to the related loan’s yield using the interest method over the contractual life of the loan.

Discounts received in connection with mortgage loans purchased are amortized to income over the term of the loan using the interest method. Premiums on purchased loans are amortized over the term of the loan using the interest method.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The Bank computes depreciation and amortization generally on the straight-line method for both financial reporting and Federal income tax purposes. Estimated useful lives of premises and equipment range as follows:

Buildings	20 – 40 Years
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment	3 – 10 Years
Automobiles	5 Years

REAL ESTATE OWNED

Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value, less estimated cost to sell, at the date of foreclosure and any related write-down is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Management periodically performs valuations, and an allowance for losses will be established when any significant and permanent decline reduces the fair value to less than the carrying value. The ability of the Bank to recover the carrying value of real estate is based upon future sales of the real estate owned. The ability to affect such sales is subject to market conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond the Bank’s control. Operating income of such properties, net of related expenses, and gains and losses on their disposition are included in the accompanying statements of income.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

ADVERTISING COSTS

The Bank expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were $151,000 and $120,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

11

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

COMPREHENSIVE EARNINGS

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the shareholders’ equity section of the balance sheets, such items, along with net earnings, are components of comprehensive earnings.

USE OF ESTIMATES

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and deferred taxes.

The unrealized losses on the Bank’s investments were caused by interest rate increases. The Bank purchased these investments at a premium relative to their face amount in anticipation of a continuing stable interest rate environment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality and because the Bank has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Bank did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006.

Balance, End of Period	$	2,133		$	2,292

Nonaccrual loans, net of allowance for loan loss, amounted to approximately $235,000 and $184,000 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Renegotiated loans for which interest rates have been reduced amounted to zero and approximately $2,000 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The effect of the interest not recorded on these loans under their original terms did not have a significant effect on net income in the 2007 or 2006 periods. The Bank has no commitments to lend additional funds to these borrowers.

NOTE D – REGULATORY MATTERS

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by its primary federal regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank and the Company’s financial statements. Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of

16

NOTE D – REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)

the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification under the prompt corrective action guidelines are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of: total risk-based capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), Tier I capital to adjusted total assets (as defined), tangible capital to adjusted total assets (as defined), and tangible equity to adjusted total assets (as defined). As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Bank met all of the capital requirements to which it is subject and is deemed to be well capitalized. There have been no subsequent conditions or events which management believes have changed the Bank’s status.

The actual and required capital amounts and ratios applicable to the Bank at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, are presented in the following tables:

	Actual				Minimum for Adequacy Purposes				Minimum to be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions

(1) The allowance for loan losses included in risk-based capital is limited to 1.25% of risk-based assets. At September 30, 2007, $429,000 of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses was excluded from total risk-based capital.

NOTE E – EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

In connection with the Conversion, the Bank established an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) that will provide retirement benefits to all eligible employees of Bank of New Orleans. On July 9, 2007, the ESOP borrowed $5,076,590 from Company and used these funds to purchase 8%, or 507,659 shares, of the shares sold in the Company’s offering. As the loan is repaid and shares are released from collateral, the shares will be allocated to the ESOP participants based on their individual compensation as a percentage of total plan compensation. The Bank will recognize compensation expense equal to the fair value of the ESOP shares committed to be released during the period.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to the Company and the Bank that are based on the beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. In addition, in portions of this document the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “should” and similar expressions or the negative thereof, as they relate to the Company or the Bank or their management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views of the Company and/or the Bank with respect to forward-looking events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. The Company does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

General

The Company commenced operations as the parent holding company for the Bank on July 9, 2007 upon consummation of the Conversion. The Company’s results of operations initially will be primarily dependent on the results of the Bank, which now is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Bank’s results of operations depend, to a large extent, on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan and investment portfolios and the cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by provisions for loan losses, fee income and other non-interest income and non-interest expense. Non-interest expense principally consists of compensation and employee benefits, office occupancy and equipment expense, data processing, advertising and business promotion and other expense. Our results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable law, regulations or government policies may materially impact our financial conditions and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

In reviewing and understanding financial information for the Company, you are encouraged to read and understand the significant accounting policies used in preparing our financial statements. These policies are described in Note A of the notes to our financial statements. The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, the financial statements require certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions, which are believed to be reasonable, based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. The following accounting policies comprise those that management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These policies require numerous estimates or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or may be subject to variations which may significantly affect our reported results and financial condition for the period or in future periods.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that represents the amount of probable and reasonably estimable known and inherent

19

losses in the loan portfolio, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the types and amount of loans in the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, and current economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including, among others, exposure at default, the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impacted loans, value of collateral, estimated losses on our commercial and residential loan portfolios and general amounts for historical loss experience. All of these estimates may be susceptible to significant change.

While management uses the best information available to make loan loss allowance evaluations, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions or changes in accounting guidance. Historically, our estimates of the allowance for loan loss have not required significant adjustments from management’s initial estimates. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of its examination processes, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses. The Office of Thrift Supervision may require the recognition of adjustments to the allowance for loan losses based on its judgment of information available to it at the time of their examinations. To the extent that actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions to the allowance for loan losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.

Income Taxes. We make estimates and judgments to calculate some of our tax liabilities and determine the recoverability of some of our deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenues and expenses. We also estimate a reserve for deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. These estimates and judgments are inherently subjective. Historically, our estimates and judgments to calculate our deferred tax accounts have not required significant revision to our initial estimates.

In evaluating our ability to recover deferred tax assets, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including our past operating results, recent cumulative losses and our forecast of future taxable income. In determining future taxable income, we make assumptions for the amount of taxable income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require us to make judgments about our future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we use to manage our business. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. An increase in the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period and could have a significant impact on our future earnings.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006

Our total assets at September 30, 2007 were $260.5 million, an increase of $40.8 million from the December 31, 2006 balance of $219.7 million. During this period, cash and cash equivalents, investment securities and mortgage-backed securities increased by $41.3 million in the aggregate. This increase is attributed to the investment of most of the net proceeds from our stock offering into short and intermediate term investments. Our net loans receivable increased during the nine-month period by $1.5 million, despite the receipt of three significant loan payoffs during the third quarter. During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, three loans secured by nonresidential real estate with an aggregate balance of $7.3 million were repaid. Our investment in the stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas was $1.4 million at September 30, 2007, a decrease of $847,000 from the December 31, 2006 balance of $2.2 million. This decrease in our investment in FHLB stock is the result of mandatory repurchases of capital stock required by the FHLB of Dallas’ capital management plan.

20

Total deposits decreased by $7.4 million, or 5.0% during the first nine months of 2007. Non-interest bearing deposits declined by $0.7 million, while interest-bearing deposits declined by $6.7 million. A significant portion of this decline is directly attributable to the withdrawal of $4.9 million of deposits to purchase stock in the Company’s initial public offering. The remaining decrease in total deposits is the result of the continued outflow of short-term deposits that were received following Hurricane Katrina, due to our customers utilizing deposits made upon receipt of insurance settlements received for storm-related damages, as well as increased competition in the local market for those short-term deposits. Our borrowings from the FHLB were $25.4 million as of September 30, 2007, a 27.9% decrease from the December 31, 2006 balance of $35.2 million. Total shareholders’ equity increased by $59.1 million to $88.3 million as of September 30, 2007. The Company raised $62.1 million of capital in its July 2007 public offering, of which $5.1 million has been reserved for distribution by the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Net income of $1.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, and an increase of $416,000 in other comprehensive income account for the remaining increase in shareholders’ equity.

Comparison of Our Operating Results for the Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

General.The Company’s net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $900,000, an increase of $235,000, or 35.3%, from the third quarter of 2006. The increase in net income for the third quarter of 2007 is attributed to an increase in net interest income due to investment of the net proceeds generated by the Company’s recently completed stock offering. Interest income and net interest income increased during the quarter by approximately $600,000, to $3.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Interest expense held constant during the quarter at $1.3 million. During the third quarter, the Company’s net interest spread, the difference between interest income and interest expense, declined by 13 basis points. The net interest spread for the third quarter of 2007 was 2.50% compared to 2.63% during the third quarter of 2006. However, the net interest margin, the ratio of net interest spread to average interest-earning assets, increased by 57 basis points from the 2006 period. The net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was 3.62% compared to 3.05% for the quarter ending September 30, 2006. The rise in net interest margin reflects the impact the additional capital raised in the public offering had as a non-interest bearing funding source.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company reported net income of $1.7 million, a decrease of $380,000, or 18.7%, from the comparable 2006 period. The primary reason for the decrease in net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was a lower level of recoveries from the allowance for loan losses in the 2007 period, as well as an increase in non-interest expense in 2007 due to increased salary and benefit costs and other non-interest expenses. The Company reported recoveries of the $135,000 for the first nine months of 2007 compared to recoveries of $586,000 for the first nine months of 2006. The recoveries for both periods are related to the reversal of loss allowances established immediately following Hurricane Katrina. The Company records recoveries as the result of loans repaid from insurance proceeds or the sale of the underlying collateral. The Company

21

anticipates the recoveries will continue at a decreasing rate for several quarters. Non-interest expense was $3.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $311,000 or 9.5%. This increase was primarily due to a regional increase in employment expenses in the post-Katrina environment, which has heightened demand for available employees.

Average Balances, Net Interest Income, and Yields Earned and Rates Paid. The following tables show for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates, and the net interest margin. Tax-exempt income and yields have not been adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis. All average balances are based on monthly balances. Management does not believe that the monthly averages differ significantly from what the daily averages would be.

Interest Income. Interest income was $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2007, and $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2006. The average balance of our net loan portfolio increased by $3.7 million, or 4.2% in the quarter ended September 30, 2007, in comparison to the average balance of the net loan portfolio during the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The average yield on our net loan portfolio increased by 56 basis points during the third quarter of 2007, in comparison to the third quarter of 2006. The primary reason for this significant increase was a higher interest rate on the loans originated during the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006. The average balance of our mortgage-backed securities declined by $8.3 million, or 8.5% during the period ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The average balance in our investment securities and other interest-earnings assets increased $6.7 million and $29.4 million respectively, in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the third quarter of 2006. These increases were due primarily to the investment of the proceeds of the Company’s stock offering into short and intermediate term investment securities and interest-bearing deposits in other banks.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Bank’s interest income was $9.7 million compared to $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The primary reason for this increase was an increase in the average balance of our net loans receivable. The average balance of our net loans receivable for the first nine months of 2007 was $93.0 million, an increase of $5.6 million from the average balance for the first nine months of 2006, which was $87.4 million. Interest income on loans receivable for the first nine months of 2007 was $4.8 million, which is an increase of $440,000, or 10.1% from the interest income on loans for the first nine months of 2006, which was $4.4 million.

Interest Expense. The Bank’s total interest expense was $1.3 million for the third quarter of both 2007 and 2006. However, the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased to 3.24% during the 2007 period, compared to 2.83% in the third quarter of 2006. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, interest expense increased by $244,000 to $4.2 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased by 45 basis points in the first nine months of 2007 compared to the same period of 2006. The increases in the average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was due to the increased cost of deposits, resulting from an increased market rate of interest, and the maturity of certain lower costing FHLB advances.

Interest paid on deposits during the third quarter of 2007 was $1.0 million, an increase of $131,000 from the third quarter of 2006. The average rate of interest paid on deposits during the third quarter of 2007 was 2.98% on an average balance of $140.0 million. The average rate of interest paid on deposits during the third quarter of 2006 was 2.46% on an average balance of $148.5 million. The average rate of interest paid on FHLB advances during the third quarter of 2007 was 4.64% on an average balance of $26.2 million. The average rate of interest paid on FHLB advances during the third quarter of 2006 was 4.11% on an average balance of $42.3 million.

On a year-to-date basis for the 2007 period, interest paid on deposits was $3.1 million, an increase of $543,000 from the comparable 2006 period. The average rate of interest paid on deposits during the first nine months of 2007 was 2.79% on an average balance of $148.8 million. The average rate of interest paid on deposits during the first nine months of 2006 was 2.25% on an average balance of $152.6 million. The average balance of FHLB advances for the first nine months of 2007 was $30.6 million, a $14.3 million decrease from the average balance of $44.9 million for the first nine months of 2006. During the first nine months of 2007, the average rate paid on FHLB advances increased to 4.58%, from 4.00% during the comparable 2006 period.

Provision (Recovery) for Loan Losses.We have identified the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses as a critical accounting policy where amounts are sensitive to material variation. This policy is significantly affected by our judgment and uncertainties and there is a likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different, but reasonably plausible, conditions or assumptions. Our activity in the provision for loan losses, which are charges or recoveries to operating results, is undertaken in order to maintain a level of total allowance for losses that management believes covers all known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at each reporting date. Our evaluation process typically includes, among other things, an analysis of delinquency trends, non-performing loan trends, the level of charge-offs and recoveries, prior loss experience, total loans outstanding, the volume of loan originations, the type, size and geographic concentration of our loans, the value of collateral securing the loan, the borrower’s ability to repay and repayment performance, the number of loans requiring heightened management oversight, local economic conditions and industry experience. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require it to make additional provisions for estimated loan losses based upon judgments different from those of management.

We had a $75,000 recovery for loans losses in the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to a $213,000 recovery in the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Our total non-performing assets amounted to $235,000 at September 30, 2007 compared to $63,000 at September 30, 2006. We charged off $41,000 and $10,000, respectively, of loans in the nine months ending September 30, 2007 and 2006. In both the 2007 and

24

2006 periods the amounts charged-off related primarily to single-family residential mortgage loans.For the first nine months of 2007, the Company’s recovery for loan losses amounted to $135,000 compared to $586,000 for the first nine months of 2006. The amount of such recoveries during these periods primarily was due to the amounts of repayments received on loans with respect to which the Bank previously had established an allowance subsequent to Hurricane Katrina.

Non-interest Income. Our non-interest income was $147,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to $168,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2007, non-interest income amounted to $344,000 compared to $379,000 for the first nine months of 2006.

Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense amounted to $1.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to $1.1 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $88,000 or 8.1%. The increase in non-interest expense during the 2007 period was due primarily to a $67,000 increase in salary and employee benefit expenses, primarily reflecting increased wages necessitated in order to hire and retain personnel in light of the demand for employees in the greater New Orleans market area.

For the first nine months of 2007 compared to the first nine months of 2006, total non-interest expense increased by $311,000, or 9.5%, to $3.6 million. Again, the primary reason for the increase was higher salary and benefit expense in the 2007 period.

As a result of the Bank’s conversion to the stock form of ownership during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Bank will be subject to the Louisiana bank shares tax beginning in January 2008. This tax is based upon capitalized earnings and taxable shareholders’ equity minus real and personal property credits and will increase our non-interest expense in future periods.

Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense amounted to $447,000 for the third quarter of 2007 compared to $324,000 in the third quarter of 2006. This increase was due to higher level of pre-tax income in the third quarter of 2007, compared to 2006. Income tax expense amounted to $801,000 and $996,000, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The differences were due primarily to the higher amounts of pre-tax income in the 2006 periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of funds are from deposits, amortization of loans, loan prepayments and the maturity of loans, mortgage-backed securities and other investments, and other funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments can be greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We also maintain excess funds in short-term, interest-bearing assets that provide additional liquidity. At September 30, 2007, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $14.4 million. In addition, at such date our available for sale investment and mortgage-backed securities amounted to an aggregate of $73.7million.

We use our liquidity to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets, and to meet operating expenses. At September 30, 2007, we had certificates of deposit maturing within the next 12 months amounting to $67.9 million. Based upon historical experience, we anticipate that a significant portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be redeposited with us. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the average balance of our outstanding FHLB advances was $26.2 million. At September 30, 2007, we had $25.4 million in outstanding FHLB advances and we had $141.2 million in additional FHLB advances available to us.

25

In addition to cash flow from loan and securities payments and prepayments as well as from sales of available for sale securities, we have significant borrowing capacity available to fund liquidity needs. In recent years we have utilized borrowings as a cost efficient addition to deposits as a source of funds. Our borrowings consist primarily of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, of which we are a member. Under terms of the collateral agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank, we pledge residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities as well as our stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank as collateral for such advances.

The following table summarizes our contractual cash obligations at September 30, 2007.

			Payments Due By Period
	Total		To 1 Year		Over 1 to 3 Years		Over 3 to 5 Years		After 5 Years
	(In Thousands)
Certificates of deposit	$	94,287	$	67,939	$	15,368	$	10,980	$	—
FHLB advances		25,423		14,698		5,908		4,393		424
Total long-term debt		119,710		82,637		21,276		15,373		424

Total contractual obligations	$	120,020	$	82,694	$	21,358	$	15,435	$	533

We anticipate that we will continue to have sufficient funds and alternative funding sources to meet our current commitments.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements, accompanying notes, and related financial data of the Company presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of operations. Most of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature; therefore, the impact of interest rates has a greater impact on its performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Expenses related to the offering were approximately $1.3 million, including the fees and expenses paid to Sandler O’Neill described above, none of which were paid to officers or directors of Company, the Bank or associates of such persons. No underwriting discounts, commissions or finders fees were paid in connection with the offering. Net proceeds of the offering were approximately $62.1 million. As a result of completion of the offering, 6,345,732 shares of the Company’s common stock are outstanding as of November 14, 2007.
