NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001.

NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting principles followed by Peoples Bancshares of Pointe Coupee Parish,Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Peoples Bank and Trust of Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, are those which are generally practiced within the banking industry. The methods of applying those principles conform with generally accepted accounting principles and have been applied on a consistent basis. The principles which significantly affect the determination of financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and changes in financial position are summarized below.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements included accounts of Peoples Bancshares of Pointe Coupee Parish, Inc. (the Company), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Peoples Bank and Trust Company of Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana (the Bank). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassification to previously published financial statements have been made to comply with current reporting requirements.

On December 9, 1983, the Bank was merged into Pointe Coupee Parish Bank and the surviving bank, Peoples Bank and Trust of Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Peoples Bancshares of Pointe Coupee Parish, Inc. through a one-for-one exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Peoples Bank and Trust of Pointe Coupee, Louisiana. The reorganization was accounted for as a pooling-of-interest. There were no material transactions prior to December 9, 1983 for Peoples Bancshares of Pointe Coupee Parish, Inc., and therefore the operations of the Company are those of the Bank and all previous periods presented.

REPORTING OF INCOME FOR TAX PURPOSES: With the information of the holding company, Peoples Bancshares of Pointe Coupee Parish, Inc., the consolidated federal income tax return will be filed for all companies by utilizing the tax method allowed.

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.

LOANS: Loans are stated at the principal amounts outstanding, less earned income and reserve for loan losses. Interest on commercial loans is accrued daily based on the principal outstanding. The accrual of interest on a loan is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, there is doubt about the ability of the borrower to pay interest or principal. Subsequent interest on such loans is recognized as income only when collected.

Page 5

RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES: The provision for loan losses charged to operating expenses represents an amount based on past loan loss experience. Additional amounts are added based on management's evaluation of the loan portfolio under current economic conditions. The reserve for loan losses reflects an amount which, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb potential loan losses.

BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT: Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Such lives range from five to forty years for building and improvements, and from three to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred. The cost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in the year disposal, and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Amounts provided for federal income taxes are based on earnings reported for financial statement purposes, adjusted for permanent differences between reported financial and taxable income. Deferred taxes are provided for timing differences related to certain income and expense items which are recognized for financial accounting purposes in one period and for tax purposes in another period.

NOTE II: COMMON STOCK

The company has 1,000,000 shares of $2.50 par value common stock authorized with 309,677 shares issued and 308,977 outstanding.

The computation of earnings per share and other per share amounts of common stock is based on the actual number of common stock outstanding during each period.

NOTE III: 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 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.

NOTE IV: COMMITMENTS

In the normal course of business, commitments under letters of credit outstanding were $187,075 at September 30, 2002 and $57,530 at September30, 2001.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEAR TO DATE NET INCOME THROUGH NOVEMBER 6, 2002, WAS $783,225.27.18. CONTINUED STRONG EARNINGS ARE THE RESULTS OF A REDUCTION IN PROBLEM ASSESTS, THEREBY DECREASING THE NEED FOR LOAN LOSS EXPENSES AND THE CONTINUED INTEREST RATE SPREAD OR MARGIN IN WHICH WE ARE NOW OPERATING.

MANAGEMENT CONTINUES TO PLACE STRONG EMPHASIS ON CREDIT QUALITY AND LOAN LOSS PROVISIONS.
