Item 1: Business

Peoples Bancshares of Pointe Coupee Parish, Inc. (the Corporation) was
incorporated under the laws of the State of Louisiana in 1983. On December
9, 1983, Peoples Bank and Trust Company (the Bank) was reorganized as a
subsidiary of the Corporation. Prior to December 9, 1983, the corporation
had no activity. The Corporation is currently engaged, through its
subsidiary, in banking and related business. The Bank is the
Corporation's principal asset and primary source of income.


The Bank

The Bank incorporated under the State Banking Laws in 1979 and
received its charter on March 31, 1980. It is in the business of gathering
funds by accepting checking, savings, and other time-deposit accounts and
reemploying these by making loans and investing in securities and other
interest bearing assets. The Bank is a full service commercial bank. Some
of the major services which it provides include checking, NOW accounts,
money market investments, money market checking, savings and other time
deposits of various types, loans for business, agriculture, real estate,
personal use, home improvement, automobile, and a variety of other types of
loans and services including letters of credit, safe deposit rental, bank
money orders, cashiers checks, credit cards, and wire transfers.

The State of Louisiana and various agencies of Parish (County)
Government deposits public funds with the Bank. As of December 31, 2002,
$2,109,727 were on deposit representing 5.81% of total deposits
outstanding. Of this total, $1,507,602 represented demand deposits,
$602,125 were time deposits and $.00 were savings deposits. The weighted
average interest rate on these deposits was 1.29%. The maturity of these
deposits range from one day to twelve months.

The Bank's general and primary market area is in Pointe Coupee Parish
which has a population of approximately 23,000. Population of Pointe
Coupee has experienced virtually no growth since inception of the bank.

The Bank faces keen competition from three other banks operating in
nine locations throughout the parish. The largest bank in the parish as
of December 31, 2002 was Regions Bank of Alabama, New Roads Branch, which
had in excess of $50 billion in assets nationwide. Regions Bank of Alabama
acquired the former Bank of New Roads in August of 1994. The other banks
operating in Pointe Coupee are Guaranty Bank and Trust Company which had
total assets of approximately $47 million as of December 31, 2002 and
Cottonport Bank, which opened a branch in 1998 with assets of approximately
$200 million on December 31, 2002. Additional competition for deposits and
loans comes from banks and non-banks (credit unions, brokerage houses,
etc.) in Baton Rouge, the capital city of Louisiana, which is 35 miles
from New Roads.

Supervision and Regulation

The Bank is subject to regulation and regular examinations by the
State Banking Department and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Applicable regulations relate to reserves, investments, loans, issuance of
securities, establishment of branches and aspects of its operations.

The Corporation is a bank holding company within the meaning of the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the Act), and is thereby
subject to the provisions of the Act and to regulation by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Board).






The Act requires the Corporation to file with the Board an annual
report containing such information as the Board may require. The Board is
authorized by the Act to examine the Corporation and all its activities.
The activities that may be engaged in by the Corporation and its
subsidiary are limited by the Act to those so closely related to banking
or managing or controlling banks, the Board must consider whether its
performance by an affiliate of a holding company can reasonably be
expected to produce benefits to the public, such as greater convenience,
increased competition or gains in efficiency that out-weigh possible
adverse effects, such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or
unfair competition, conflicts of interest, or unsound banking practices.
The Board has adopted regulations implementing the provisions of the Act
with respect to the activities of bank holding companies. Such regulations
reflect a determination by the Board that the following activities are
permissible for bank holding companies: (1) making, for its own account or
for the account of others, loans such as would be made, for example, by a
mortgage, finance or factoring company; (2) operating as an industrial
bank; (3) servicing loans; (4) acting as a fiduciary; (5) acting as an
investment trust or a real estate investment trust; (6) leasing personal
or real property, where the lease is to serve as the functional equivalent
of an extension of credit to the lessee of the property; (7) investing in
community welfare corporations or projects; (8) providing bookkeeping and
data processing services for a bank holding company and its subsidiaries,
or storing and processing certain other banking, financial or related
economic data; (9) acting as insurance agent or broker with respect to
certain kinds of insurance, principally insurance issued in connection
with extensions of credit by the holding company or any of its
subsidiaries; (10) underwriting credit life and credit accident and health
insurance related to extensions of credit; (11) providing courier services
for documents and papers related to banking transactions; (12) providing
management consulting advice to non-affiliated banks; and (13) selling
money orders, travelers checks and U.S. Savings Bonds. In each case, the
Corporation must secure the approval of the Board prior to engaging in any
of these activities.

Whether or not a particular non-banking activity is permitted under
the Act, the Board is authorized to require a holding company to terminate
any activity, or divest itself of any non-banking subsidiary, if in its
judgement the activity or subsidiaries would be unsound.

Under the Act the Board's regulations, a bank holding company and its
subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in
connection with any extension of credit or provision of any property or
services.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation has no present plans or
intentions to cause the Corporation to engage in any substantial business
activity which would be permitted under the Louisiana Act but which is not
permitted to the Bank; however, a significant reason for formation of the
one-bank holding company is to take advantage of the additional
flexibility afforded by that structure if the Board of Directors of the
Corporation concludes that such action would be in the best interest of
stockholders.

With certain exceptions, the Bank is restricted by Sections 22 and 23A
of the Federal Reserve Act and Section 18(j) of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Act from extending credit or making loans to or
investments in the Corporation.

Non-performing Loans and Other Problem Assets

It is management's policy to discontinue accrual of interest on loans
where there is reasonable doubt as to collectibility. The policy to place
loans on non-accrual status is to normally discontinue accrual of interest
when the loan is delinquent 90 days or more, or where circumstances
indicate that collection of principal or interest is doubtful, unless the
obligation is secured (1) by mortgage on real estate or pledge of
securities that have a realizable value sufficient to pay the debt in full;
or (2) by guarantee of a financially responsible party. The following
tables presents the non-performing loans and other problem assets at
December 31, 2002 and 2001. Assets acquired through the default of loans
are recorded at the lower of the outstanding loan amount or fair market
value of the assets acquired at the time of foreclosure. Reductions from
outstanding loan amounts to fair market value are charged against the
reserve for possible loan losses. Subsequent adjustments to market
valuations are charged to operating expense.

The effect of non-accruing loans on interest income for 2002 was
$10,778. The effect of restructured loans on interest income for 2002 was
$0.00. Interest recognized on such loans for the year approximated $10,500.

At December 31, 2002, there were no commitments to lend additional
funds to debtors whose loans were considered to be non-performing.

All loans listed above are subject to constant attention by management
and their progress is reviewed monthly.

At the present time, management does not track loan concentrations by
particular industries, but rather by the grouping of types of loan, i.e.,
Agriculture, Real Estate, Consumer and Commercial. We attempt to avoid any
undue concentration in any particular sector.


IV. Summary of Loan Loss Experience

Changes in the allowance for loan losses were as follows:


2002 2001
----------- --------

Recoveries 38,744 32,003
----------- -------
Balance December 31, $ 721,999 708,724
=========== =======

In determining the adequacy of the loan loss reserves, management uses
the following formulas: 100% of loans classified loss, 50% of doubtful
loans, 5% of substandard loans, 0% of savings loans and government
guaranteed loans and 1.5% of all other loan types. This analysis is
performed on a quarterly basis.

VII. Short-Term Borrowings

The bank has established a line-of-credit for approximately
$17,750,000 with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) to provide an additional
source of operating capital. The current advances, which totaled
$7,003,220 and $2,332,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, bore
interest at variable rates ranging from 1.42% to 3.84%.

This line of credit is secured by $435,900 of FHLB stock owned by the
Bank and a portion of the loan portfolio. The bank has also utilized
$1,620,000 of the line of credit with the FHLB to acquire letters of credit
to secure public deposits.


ITEM 2: Properties

The main office of the Corporation and Bank are presently located in a
two-story office building on State Highway 3131, New Roads, Louisiana. The
bank owns one branch located on State Highway 78, Livonia, Louisiana, which
is approximately 13 miles from the main office. Additionally, in 1994 the
bank purchased from its Other Real Estate portfolio the property directly
behind the bank for $75,000. This property was formerly an insurance
building and lot. It was acquired in an exchange of properties from Farm
Bureau Insurance. All locations are owned free of any mortgages or liens.


ITEM 3: Legal Proceedings

There is no threatened or pending litigation against the Corporation,
the Bank, or its officers.


ITEM 4: Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.





PART II


ITEM 5: Market Price Dividends on the Registrant's Common Equity and
Related Stockholder Matters

The primary market area for the Corporation stock is Pointe Coupee
Parish with Peoples Bank and Trust Company acting as registrar and transfer
agent. There were approximately 575 shareholders of record as of December
31, 2002. The stock of the Corporation is not listed on any security
exchange.

Due to lack of an active trading market, the Corporation does not have
available information to furnish a high and low sales price on the range of
bid and asked quotations for its stock. Based on limited inquiries by
management, it is believed that less than 3,000 shares traded in 2002.
There can be no assurance that the limited inquiries adequately reflect the
marketability of the stock.

In March 2002 Peoples Bancshares declared a special dividend of $.55
per share to all stockholders of record as of March 31, 2002, totaling
$169,937. Additionally, In December of 2002, Peoples Bancshares declared a
dividend of $.45 per share to all stockholders of record as of November 15,
2002, totaling $139,040.

The Bank, as a state chartered Bank, is subject to the dividend
restrictions set forth by the Commissioner. Under such restrictions, the
Bank may not, without the prior approval of the Commissioner, declare
dividends in excess of the sum of the current year's retained net earnings
(as defined) plus the retained net earnings (as defined) from the prior
year.

Management, will for the foreseeable future, approach the payment of
dividends on an annual basis and according to the profitability of the bank
in that particular year, as well as considering the long-term capital needs
of the bank in the future.

ITEM 7: Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operation

Peoples Bancshares of Pointe Coupee Parish, Inc., (Bancshares) is a
one bank holding company whose sole subsidiary is Peoples Bank and Trust
Company of Pointe Coupee Parish, Inc., (the Bank). All items discussed
below are attributable to the activities of the Bank unless otherwise
stated. This section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes and the tables presented in an
earlier section of this report.



FINANCIAL REVIEW

Summary

Bancshares consolidated net income for 2002 was $879,326. This
represents a Return on Average Assets of 1.78%, which we believe is a good
return. This is in comparison to 1.79% for 2001 and 2.07% in 2000.

Several factors contributed to this continued success. The most
important factors were: 1) good interest rate margins; 2) a low level of
classified assets; and 3) low loan loss provisions.

In 2002, charge-offs were $25,469 as compared to $153,049 in 2001.
Recoveries for 2002 were $38,744 and provisions were -0-. Provisions for
2001 were $4,443 and recoveries were $32,003.

The prospects for 2003 remain encouraging. The bank continues to note
financial stability and deem our reserves as adequate. As a result, the
projections for income are good. Additionally, Peoples Bank is deemed to
be a well capitalized institution within the guidelines of the FDIC.

However, we still remain conservative in our view of the economy and
current management will maintain that philosophy throughout 2003.

Other Income and Expenses

Other Income, excluding loan related income, decreased $ 66,407 or
8.24% in 2002 as compared to 2001, whereas there were no loan sales in
2002.

Other expenses, excluding interest expense decreased by $12,486 or
..74% in 2002 as compared to 2001. Other operating expenses accounted for
the net decrease in other expenses.

Income Taxes

Bancshares files a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred
income taxes are provided using the liability method on items of income or
expenses recognized in different time periods for financial statement and
income tax purposes.

Statement of Condition

Total deposits as of December 31, 2002 decreased $1,098,634 or 2.94%
as compared to year end 2001. Non-interest bearing deposits decreased
$138,150 or 1.87% and interest bearing deposits decreased $960,484 or 3.2%.
Total loans excluding loan reserves increased $5,666,552 or 15.07% and
carrying value of investment securities decreased $1,530,146 or 56.93%.
The increase in loans was concentrated primarily in commercial loans.

Liquidity Management

The purpose of liquidity management is to assure the corporation's
ability, at an acceptable cost, to raise funds to support asset growth,
meet deposit withdrawals, and otherwise operate the Corporation on a
continuing basis. The overall liquidity position of the bank is insured by
acquisition of additional funds in the form of time deposits, borrowings
such as Federal Funds, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, and the sale or
maturing of investments.

In management's opinion, there are no known trends, commitments or
uncertainties that will or should have a material effect on deposits or the
liquidity position. Additionally, no trends or events were cited by the
regulatory authorities.




Capital Adequacy

The management of capital is a continuous process which consists of
providing capital for the current position and the anticipated future
growth of the Corporation. The purposes of capital are to serve as a
source of funds, protect depositors against losses, and provide a measure
of reassurance to the public that the community's needs will continue to be
served. Since capital serves a multiplicity of purposes, the evaluation of
capital adequacy cannot be made solely in terms of total capital or related
ratios.

Traditionally, the source of additional capital has been retained
earnings. Due to strong earnings from 1990 - 2002, and large recoveries of
charged-off loans, our capital ratio is at an acceptable level. As such,
retained earnings should continue to provide needed capital. Additionally,
we will concentrate on the following to provide for our capital needs:

1. Increase non-interest income and reduce non-interest expenses
2. Maintain an adequate interest rate spread
3. Actively pursue previous charged-off loans for recoveries
4. Manage our growth rate

Furthermore, the prospects for 2003 continue to be encouraging. Our
capital base continued to grow in 2002; our loan loss reserve is adequate;
our net income was extremely good with a Return on Average Assets of 1.78%;
loan delinquencies continue to be manageable; and classified assets
have remained at a manageable level.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS


Current economic conditions are about average compared to the previous
(5) five years, but are certainly not great. Our asset/liability
management strategy helped produced good margins in 2002. However, our
strategies remain conservative; therefore, we are positioned as interest
rates continue to fluctuate.

On September 17, 1981, the Board of Directors of the Bank approved a
profit sharing plan which conforms to the Internal Revenue Code, Section
401(a). All employees who have been employed by the Bank for a period of
six months or more; who are 25 years of age; and who have at least 1,000

The accrued amount at year end totaled $368,221.

The Bank has a deferred compensation plan available to its directors.
At present only two directors are participating. Upon retirement, the Bank
will pay the directors their deferred compensation plus interest, which
accrues at the "low Wall Street rate", in 15 equal annual installments
beginning the month after retirement. Upon pre-retirement death, the bank
will pay his designated beneficiaries the greater of $8,400 a year for 15
years or his deferred compensation and accrued interest. The bank is the
owner and beneficiary of an insurance policy on the life of each director.

The Bank also maintains two supplemental executive retirement plan
with its president. On one plan, the president will receive $25,000 per
year for 20 years, beginning immediately. The bank is the owner and
beneficiary of an insurance policy on the life of the president. If
employment is terminated "without cause" prior to retirement, the bank will
pay the president his accrued benefit, which is based on the number of
months of completed service since January, 1996. On the other plan, the
president will receive a percentage of his income (salary and bonus) based
on the previous five year period preceding retirement. The percentage
is determined by multiplying 1.5% by the number of years of employment with
the bank. The bank is the owner and beneficiary of an insurance policy on
the life of the president.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Peoples Bancshares of Pointe Coupee Parish, Inc.
New Roads, Louisiana


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Peoples Bancshares of Pointe Coupee Parish, Inc. and Subsidiary as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the years during the three year
period ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Peoples Bancshares of Pointe Coupee Parish, Inc. and
Subsidiary as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years during the
three year period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of Peoples Bancshares of
Pointe Coupee Parish, Inc. (Bancshares) and its subsidiary conform
to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America and to the prevailing practices within the banking
industry. A summary of significant accounting policies is as
follows:

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Bancshares and its wholly owned subsidiary, Peoples Bank and
Trust Company (the Bank). All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Nature of operations

Substantially all of the assets, liabilities, and operations
presented in the consolidated financial statements are
attributable to Peoples Bank and Trust Company. The Bank provides
a variety of banking services to individuals and businesses
primarily in and around Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana. Its
primary deposit products are demand deposits accounts and
certificates of deposits, and its primary lending products are
commercial, agriculture, real estate, and consumer loans.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to
significant changes in the economic environment and market
conditions. In connection with the determination of the
estimated losses on loans, management obtains independent
appraisals for significant collateral.

The Bank's loans are generally secured by specific items of
collateral including real property, consumer assets, and business
assets. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a
substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor their
contracts is dependent on local economic conditions and the
agricultural industry.






1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Use of estimates (continued)

While management uses available information to recognize losses
on loans, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans may
be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In
addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
examination process, periodically review the estimated losses on
loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additional
losses based on their judgments about information available to
them at the time of their examination. Because of these factors,
it is reasonably possible that the estimated losses on loans may
change materially in the near term. However, the amount of the
change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.

Investment securities

The Bank's investments in securities are classified as available-
for-sale securities and consist of bonds, notes, and debentures
that are available to meet the Bank's operating needs. These
securities are reported at fair value as determined by quoted
market prices.

Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-
sale securities are reported as a net amount in other
comprehensive income. Gains and losses on the sale of investment
securities are determined using the specific-identification
method. Realized gains (losses) on the sales and maturities of
investment securities are classified as non-interest income and
reported as a reclassification adjustment in other comprehensive
income.

Interest-bearing deposits in other banks

Interest-bearing deposits in other banks mature within one year
and are carried at cost, which approximates market.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at
their outstanding principal adjusted for any charge-off's, the
allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on
originated loans. Interest is accrued on the unpaid principal
balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination
costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the
related loan yield using the interest method.

The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when,
in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet
payments as they become due. When interest accrual is
discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest
income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash
payments are received, until qualifying for return to accrual.
Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and
interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future
payments are reasonably assured. Loans are charged-off if
management considers the collection of principal and interest to
be doubtful.






1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Allowance for loan losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in
management's judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is
based on management's evaluation of the collectibility of the
loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit
concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific
impaired loans, and economic conditions.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information
and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to
collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
Factors considered by management in determining impairment
include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of
collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.
Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment
shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management
determines the significance of payment delays and payment
shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all
of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower,
including the length of the delay, the borrower's prior payment
record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the
principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by
loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market
price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent. Past-due status is determined based on
contractual terms.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are
collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank
does not separately identify consumer and residential loans for
impairment disclosures. Because of uncertainties associated with
the regional economic conditions, collateral values, and future
cash flows on impaired loans, it is reasonably possible that
management's estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan
portfolio and the related allowance may change materially in the
near term. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan
losses, which is charged to expense and reduced by charge-off's,
net of recoveries.

Foreclosed real estate

Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan
foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at fair
value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis.
After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by
management, and the real estate is subsequently carried at the
lower of carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell.
Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation
allowance are included in loss on foreclosed real estate.

Bank premises and equipment

Land is carried at cost. Bank premises and equipment are stated
at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed using
straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful
lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 30 years.





1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Income taxes

Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or
refundable for the current year (after exclusion of non-taxable
income such as interest on state and municipal securities) and
deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of
taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the
financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
included in the financial statements 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
prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes. As changes in tax laws or rates
are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted
through the provision for income taxes.

Net Income per share

Net income per share of common stock has been computed on the
basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding.

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income is the change in stockholders' equity during
the period from transactions and other events and circumstances
from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income includes the change
in unrealized gains (losses), net of taxes, on available-for-sale
securities during the period.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of presentation in the consolidated statements of
cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances
due from banks and federal funds sold.

Credit related financial information

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into
commitments to extend credit, including commercial letters of
credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments
are recorded when they are funded.






1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fair values of financial instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107,
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires
disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments,
whether or not recognized in the balance sheet. In cases where
quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on
estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.
Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions
used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be
substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many
cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the
instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the
aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the
underlying value of Bancshares.

The following methods and assumptions were used by Bancshares in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents - the carrying amounts of cash and
cash equivalents approximate their fair values.

Interest-bearing deposits in other banks - fair values for
interest-bearing deposits in other banks are estimated using a
discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates
currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of
aggregated contractual maturities on such time deposits.

Investment securities - fair values for investment securities
are based on quoted market prices, where applicable. If quoted
market prices are not available, fair values are based on
quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Loans - for variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and
have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are
based on carrying values. Fair values for certain mortgage
loans (i.e., one-to-four family residential), credit card
loans, and other consumer loans are based on quoted market
prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization
transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics.
Fair values for commercial real estate and commercial loans are
estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest
rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to
borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for impaired
loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or
underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Deposit liabilities - the fair values disclosed for demand
deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on
demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts).
The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market
accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair
values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate
certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash
flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being
offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected
monthly maturities on time deposits.





1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fair values of financial instruments (continued)

The following methods and assumptions were used by Bancshares in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Short-term borrowings - the carrying amounts of other short-
term borrowings maturing within 90 days approximate their fair
values. Fair values of other short-term borrowings are
estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the
incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing
arrangements.

Accrued interest - the carrying amounts of accrued interest
approximate their fair values.

Off-balance sheet instruments - fair values for off-balance
sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged
to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the
remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties'
credit standing.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the 2001 and 2000 consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform with the current
year presentation.

8. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Bank maintains a 401(k) savings plan for which the majority of
its employees are eligible. The employer contributes to the plan
based on the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Bank matches
50% of employee contributions up to 6% of each employee's salary.
The Bank recognized expenses relating to this plan of approximately
$14,000, $16,000, and $16,700 during the years ended December 31,
2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.






8. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued)

The Bank maintains a deferred compensation agreement with several
directors. Upon retirement, the Bank will pay the directors their
deferred compensation plus interest. The Bank is the owner and
beneficiary of several insurance policies covering the lives of
these directors.

The Bank also maintains a supplemental executive retirement plan
agreement with its president. Upon retirement, or in the event of
death, the president, or his designated beneficiary, will receive
the benefit over a 20 year period. The Bank is the owner and
beneficiary of an insurance policy covering the life of the
president. If employment is terminated "without cause" prior to
retirement, the Bank will pay the president his accrued benefit,
which is based on the number of months of completed service since
January, 1996.


9. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ACTIVITIES

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs
of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments
to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate
risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance
sheets.

The Bank's exposure to credit loss is represented by the
contractual amount of these commitments. The Bank uses the same
credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations
as it does for financial instruments recorded on its balance
sheets.

Commitments to Extend Credit

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a
customer, as long as there is no violation of any condition
established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require
the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is
deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based
on management's credit evaluation of the customer. At December
31, 2002, unfunded loan commitments totalled approximately
$3,283,000.

Unfunded commitments under commercial lines-of-credit, revolving
credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are
commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing
customers. These lines-of-credit are uncollateralized and
usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be
drawn upon to the total extent to which the Bank is committed.





9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Commitments to Extend Credit (continued)

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by
the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third
party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public
and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper,
bond financing, and similar transactions. At December 31, 2002,
commitments under standby letters of credit totalled
approximately $187,000. The credit risk involved in issuing
letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in
extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally
holds collateral supporting these commitments if deemed
necessary. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates,
they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to
the Bank.

The Bank has not been required to perform on any financial
guarantees during the past three years. The Bank did not incur
any losses on such commitments during either 2002, 2001, or
2000.


The estimated fair values of Bancshares's financial instruments at
December 31, 2002 and 2001, were as follows (in thousands):

2002 2001
------------------ ---------------
Carrying Fair Carrying Fair
Amount Value Amount Value
Financial assets:
Cash and due from banks, interest
bearing deposits in other banks,
and federal funds sold $ 7,226 $ 7,226 $ 7,435 $ 7,435
Securities available-for-sale 1,157 1,157 2,688 2,688
Loans receivable (net) 42,553 42,553 36,899 37,262

Other borrowed funds 7,003 7,031 2,332 2,332
Accrued interest payable 86 86 144 144





10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

In the ordinary course of business, certain officers and directors
of the Bank and companies in which they have 10% or more beneficial
ownership maintain a variety of banking relationships with the
Bank. An analysis of activity during 2002, 2001, and 2000 with
respect to loans to officers and directors of the Bank is as
follows:

Included in deposits are deposits from directors, officers, their
immediate families, and related companies. These accounts totalled
approximately $1,573,000 and $1,499,000 at December 31, 2002 and
2001, respectively.


11. RESTRICTIONS OF RETAINED EARNINGS

The Bank, as a state chartered Bank, is subject to the dividend
restrictions set forth by the Commissioner. Under such
restrictions, the Bank may not, without the prior approval of the
Commissioner, declare dividends in excess of the sum of the current
year's retained net earnings (as defined) plus the retained net
earnings (as defined) from the prior year. The Bank can declare,
without the approval of the Commissioner, dividends totalling
$417,658 more than its retained net earnings during the year ending
December 31, 2003.


12. MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS

Both the Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory
capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain
mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions, by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect
on the Company's and the Bank's financial statements. Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their
assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital
amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and
other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not
applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum
amounts and ratios (set forth in the table on the following page)
of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-
weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to
average assets (as defined). Management believes, that as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001, both the Company and the Bank meets all
capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.






12. REGULATORY MATTERS (continued)

The most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (as of September 30, 2001) categorized the Bank as well
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action. To remain as well capitalized the Bank must maintain
minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage
ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or
events since that notification that management believes have
changed the institution's category.

Capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, are
presented below:

13. SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Most of the Bank's business activity is with customers located
within Pointe Coupee Parish. As of December 31, 2002, the Bank's
receivables from, guarantees of, and obligations from agriculture
loans made to sugar cane, cotton, and wheat farmers were considered
a concentration. These loans are generally secured by assets or
farm crops, and a large majority of these loans are 90% guaranteed
by the Farm Service Agency. The loans are expected to be repaid
from cash flow or proceeds from the sale of crops. Loan losses
arising from lending transactions with farmers compare favorably
with the Bank's loan loss experience on its loan portfolio as a
whole.

The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the
distribution of loans outstanding. Commercial and standby letters
of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers.

The contractual amounts of credit-related financial instruments,
such as commitments to extend credit and letters of credit,
represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should the
contract be fully drawn upon, the customer default, and the value
of any existing collateral become worthless.


14. SUPPLEMENTAL EXPENSE ITEMS

Supplemental expense items during the years ended December 31,
2002, 2001, and 2000 were as follows:


2002 2001 2000
---------- ---------- ----------
Director fees $ 93,025 $ 98,725 $ 93,025
========== ========== ==========
Professional fees $ 77,400 $ 76,235 $ 76,690
