             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 42 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 June 30, 1999, the Company had
drawn $4.5 million on the line of credit.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

At June 30, 1999, the consolidated assets of the Company totaled $1.36 billion,
a decrease of $43.9 million, or 3.1%, from December 31, 1998.

Loans receivable, net, increased by $11.8 million, or 1.6%, to $773.0 million at
June 30, 1999 compared to $761.2 million at December 31, 1998. Such increase was
the result of a $23.3 million, or 19.8%, increase in the balance of commercial
real estate loans, a $10.4 million, or 14.2%, increase in home equity loans, a
$27.4 million, or 24.0%, increase in indirect automobile loans and a $528,000,
or 11.5%, increase in credit card loans, which was offset by a $37.5 million, or
12.4%, decrease in single-family residential loans, a $5.1 million, or 6.6%,
decrease in commercial business loans, a $1.6 million, or 21.7%, decrease in
single-family residential construction loans and a $7.0 million, or 10.9%,
decrease in other consumer 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 June 30, 1999 was 67.7% 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 $807,000, or 4.4%, to $19.3 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 $108.5 million,
or 99.6%, to $428,000 at June 30, 1999, compared to $108.9 million at
December 31, 1998. Such decrease was primarily used to fund loan
originations, the purchase of investment and mortgage-backed securities
and net deposit withdrawals.

The Company's investment securities available for sale increased $27.5
million, or 28.3%, to $124.5 million at June 30, 1999, compared to $97.1
million at December 31, 1998. Such increase was primarily the result of
purchase of $47.8 million of investment securities available for sale,
which was partially offset by the maturity or redemption of $15.5 million
of investment securities available for sale and a $5.0 million decrease in
the market value of such securities.

Mortgage-backed securities increased $19.0 million, or 6.9%, to $296.8
million at June 30, 1999, compared to $277.8 million at December 31, 1998.
Such increase was the result of $52.2 million of purchases of
mortgage-backed securities, which was partially offset by $32.4 million of
repayments of mortgage-backed securities and $723,000 of net amortization
of premiums on mortgage-backed securities.

Deposits decreased $77.3 million, or 6.3%, to $1,141.3 million at June 30,
1999, compared to $1,218.7 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease in
deposits was primarily the result of a large overnight 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.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $35.4 million, or 77.6%, to
$81.1 million at June 30, 1999, compared to $45.6 million at December 31,
1998. The increase in advances was the result of $949.8 million of new
advances, which was partially offset by $914.4 million of advances repaid.
The increase in advances was used primarily to fund net deposit decreases.

Total stockholders' equity decreased $5.7 million, or 4.6%, to $118.2
million at June 30, 1999. The decrease was the result of $7.0 million of
treasury stock acquired, $2.0 million of cash dividends declared on common
stock and a $3.2 million, after taxes, decrease in accumulated other
comprehensive income, which was partially offset by the Company's net
income of $5.7 million, $655,000 of common stock released by the ESOP,
$238,000 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 $2.8 million for the three months ended
      June 30, 1999, compared to $2.2 million earned during the three months
      ended June 30, 1998. The Company's net interest income increased $3.0
      million and total noninterest income increased $1.7 million during the
      three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the second quarter of 1998.
      Such increases were partially offset by a $3.6 million increase in
      noninterest expense and a $410,000 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.

      For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company earned $5.7 million
      compared to $4.3 million for the same period of 1998. The Company's net
      interest income increased $5.7 million and total noninterest income
      increased $3.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared
      to the first six months of 1998. Such increases were partially offset by a
      $150,000 increase in provision for loan losses, a $7.0 million increase in
      noninterest expense and a $779,000 increase in income tax expense when
      comparing the first six months of 1999 to the same period of 1998.



                                                                              11

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $3.0 million, or 32.6%, to $12.2 million in the
three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $9.2 million in the three months
ended June 30, 1998. The increase was due to a $5.7 million, or 32.2% increase
in interest income, which was partially offset by a $2.7 million, or 31.7%,
increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was the result of
a $371.4 million, or 43.0%, increase in the average balance of interest-earning
assets, which was partially offset by a 62 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 $353.6 million, or 46.8%,
increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, which was
partially offset by a 45 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 branch 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 3.53% and 3.94%,
respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to 3.70% and
4.25%, respectively, for the comparable period in 1998. The decline in interest
rate spread and the net interest margin was due primarily to the lower interest
rate spread and net interest margin associated with the assets and liabilities
of the First Commerce branch acquisition.

For the six months ended June 30, 1999, net interest income increased $5.7
million, or 31.4%, to $23.9 million, compared to $18.2 million for the first six
months of 1998. The increase was due to a $10.8 million, or 30.8%, increase in
interest income, which was partially offset by a $5.1 million, or 30.2%,
increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was the result of
a $366.7 million, or 42.0%, increase in the average balance of interest-earning
assets, which was partially offset by a 63 basis point decrease in the yield
earned on interest-earning assets. The increase in interest expense was the
result of a $345.6 million, or 45.2%, increase in the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities, which was partially offset by a 46 basis point
decrease in the cost thereof. The Company's interest rate spread and net
interest margin amounted to 3.45% and 3.86%, respectively, during the six months
ended June 30, 1999, compared to 3.63% and 4.17%, respectively, for the
comparable period in 1998.

INTEREST INCOME

The Company's total interest income was $23.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999, compared to $17.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998. The reason for the $5.7 million, or 32.2%, increase in interest income was
a $1.8 million, or 12.5%, increase in interest income from loans, a $1.0
million, or 100.8%, increase in interest and dividends on investment securities
and a $3.0 million, or 183.6%, increase in interest on mortgage-backed
securities, which was partially offset by a $134,000, or 33.0%, decrease in
interest on deposits held at other institutions. The increase in interest income
from loans was the result of a $105.4 million, or 15.5%, increase in the average
balance of loans, which was partially offset by a 22 basis point decrease in the
yield earned thereon. The increase in interest income from investment securities
was the result of a $76.2 million, or 117.7%, increase in the average balance of
investment securities, which was partially offset by an 11 basis point decrease
in the yield earned thereon. The increase in interest income from
mortgage-backed securities was the result of a $198.2 million, or 197.0%,
increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities, which was
partially offset by a 29 basis point decrease in the yield earned thereon. The
decrease in interest from deposits at other institutions was the result of a
$8.4 million, or 41.3%, decrease in the average balance of deposits at other
institutions, which was partially offset by a 338 basis point decrease in the
yield earned thereon.

For the six months ended June 30, 1999, total interest income was $46.0 million,
compared to $35.2 million for the same period in 1998. The reasons for the $10.8
million, or 30.8%, increase in interest income were a $3.7 million, or 12.8%,
increase in interest income from loans, a $1.3 million, or 60.0%, increase in
interest income from investment securities, a $5.5 million, or 159.9%, increase
in interest income from mortgage-backed securities and a $362,000, or 40.6%,
increase in interest



                                                                              13

income from deposits at other institutions. The increase in interest from loans
was the result of a $109.9 million, or 16.4%, increase in the average balance of
loans, which was partially offset by a 27 basis point decrease in the yield on
loans. The increase in interest and dividends on investment securities was the
result of a $53.7 million, or 74.0%, increase in the average balance of
investment securities, which was partially offset by a six basis point decrease
in the yield on investment securities. The increase in interest on
mortgage-backed securities was the result of a $181.5 million, or 172.2%,
increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities, which was
partially offset by a 30 basis point decrease in the yield on mortgage-backed
securities. The increase in interest on deposits at other institutions was the
result of a $21.6 million, or 89.8%, increase in the average balance of deposits
at other institutions, which was partially offset by a 312 basis point decrease
in the yield on deposits at other institutions.

INTEREST EXPENSE

The Company's total interest expense was $11.1 million during the three
months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $8.4 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1998. The reasons for the $2.7 million, or 31.7%, increase
in interest expense was a $2.5 million, or 32.6%, increase in interest
expense on deposits due to a $336.7 million, or 47.4%, increase in
interest-bearing deposits, which was partially offset by a 44 basis point
decrease in the cost of such deposits and a $170,000, or 22.5%, increase
in interest expense on advances due to a $16.9 million, or 36.4%, increase
in the average balance of advances, which was partially offset by a 67
basis point decrease in the cost of such advances.

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company's total interest
expense was $22.1 million, compared to $17.0 million for the same period
in 1998. The reason for the $5.1 million, or 30.2%, increase in interest
expense was a $5.0 million, or 32.2%, increase in the average balance
interest-bearing deposits, which was partially offset by a 46 basis point
decrease in the cost thereof and a $152,000, or 10.1%, increase in
interest expense on advances due to a $7.9 million, or 17.1%, increase in
the average balance of advances, which was partially offset by a 39 basis
point decrease in the cost of such advances.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses was $265,000 in the three months ended June
30, 1999 as compared to $255,000 for the same period in 1998. The Company
had $4.7 million of non-performing loans, or .34% of total assets, at June
30, 1999, compared to $5.7 million, or .41% of total assets, at December
31, 1998. As of June 30, 1999, the ratio of the Company's allowance for
loan losses to non-performing loans was 153.2%, compared to 126.5% at
December 31, 1998.

For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the provision for loan losses was
$635,000 as compared to $485,000 for the first six months of 1998.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income increased $1.7 million, or 91.4%, in the three months
ended June 30, 1999 to $3.5 million, compared to $1.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998. Such increase was due primarily to a
$919,000, or 99.1%, increase in service charges on deposit accounts, a
$236,000, or 114.0%, increase in late charges and other fees on loans and
a $587,000, or 159.5%, increase in other income, which was partially
offset by an $80,000, or 23.3% decrease in gains on the sale of mortgage
loans in the secondary market.

For the six months ended June 30, 1999, noninterest income increased $3.6
million, or 99.0%, to $7.3 million, compared to $3.6 million for the first

million, or 101.4%, increase in service charges on deposits accounts, a
$394,000, or 74.5%, increase in late charges and other fees on loans a $1.0
million, or 138.9%, increase in other income and a $277,000, or 53.1%, increase
in gains on the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense increased $3.6 million, or 49.6%, in the three months
ended June 30, 1999, to $10.8 million, compared to $7.2 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998. Such increase was due primarily to a
$1.6 million, or 42.9%, 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 $220,000, or
54.2%, 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 $286,000, or 61.1%,
increase in occupancy expense primarily resulting from the branch
purchase, a $128,000, or 51.6%, increase in franchise and shares tax
primarily as a result of capital increases in the Bank, a $493,000, or
136.2%, increase in the amortization of goodwill and other acquired
intangibles due to the branch acquisition and a $1.2 million, or 79.9%,
increase in other expenses, which was partially offset by a $279,000, or
91.8%, decrease in computer expense.

For the six months ended June 30, 1999, noninterest expense increased $7.0
million, or 49.1%, to $21.3 million compared to $14.3 million for the same
period in 1998. Such increase was primarily due to a $3.2 million, or
44.4%, increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $464,000, or 57.1%,
increase in depreciation, a $587,000, or 62.2%, increase in occupancy
expense, a $146,000, or 29.4%, increase in franchise and shares tax, a
$977,000, or 133.7%, increase in the amortization of goodwill and other
acquired intangibles and a $2.2 million, or 75.7%, increase in other
expense, which was partially offset by a $565,000, or 94.8%, decrease in
computer expense.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense increased $410,000, or 29.6%, in the three months ended
June 30, 1999 to $1.8 million, compared to $1.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in income tax expense was due
primarily to the increase in income before income taxes.

For the six months ended June 30, 1999, income tax expense increased
$779,000, or 28.1%, to $3.5 million, compared to $2.8 million for the same
period in 1998.

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 June 30, 1999, the Company had $81.1 million in outstanding
advances from the FHLB of Dallas and $4.5 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-


                                                                              15
   16

     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 June 30, 1999, the total
     approved loan commitments outstanding amounted to $32.0 million. At the
     same time, commitments under unused lines of credit, including credit card
     lines, amounted to $142.5 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to
     mature in twelve months or less at June 30, 1999 totaled $455.6 million.
     Based on past experience 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 1999 are detailed below

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 has been completed as
      of June 30, 1999.



                                                                              16
