                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Teche Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary for the six (6) months ended June
30, 1999.  Results for the interim period presented are not necessarily
indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim period or

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1999.

Liquidity

Liquidity is the ability to insure that adequate funds are available to
satisfy contractual liabilities, fund operations, meet withdrawal
requirements of depositors and provide for customer's credit needs in a
timely manner. Our primary source of liquidity is our core deposits. We
supplement our core deposits with a line of credit with one of our
correspondent banks, public fund time deposits, repurchase agreements with
correspondent banks and a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank. Our
sources of liquidity are adequate to fund the loan demand that we are
experiencing.

The primary source of funding for the parent company is dividends from the
Bank.  Management believes the parent's current sources of funds are
sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

Capital Resources and Asset Quality

Our consolidated risk based capital to asset ratio was 17.24% and Tier one
capital ratio was 7.71% at June 30, 1999.  The bank only risk based capital
ratio was 17.2% and Tier one capital ratio was 7.68%. Banks are required to
maintain a risk weighted capital to asset ratio of 8% and Tier one capital
ratio of 5%.  Our risk based capital ratio and Tier one capital ratio both
exceed the required amount.  Our capital ratio has declined due to rapid
growth that we have experienced in total assets.  Our asset growth has out
paced our earnings growth in the short run period ending June 30, 1999.
Management is monitoring our capital ratio and asset growth to assure that
the bank will continue to have adequate capital to support its assets.

Asset quality continues to be satisfactory due to our emphasis on credit
quality in our loan portfolio.  Management is of the opinion that we have all
of our problem credits identified and that an adequate allowance has been
made for any potential future losses.

We continuously monitor the quality of our loans.  Loans past due 90 days or
greater still accruing at June 30, 1999, were $66,795 an increase of $32,162
from December 31, 1998. Loans on which the accrual of interest had been
discontinued at June 30, 1999 totalled $0 which is down $24,210 as compared
to the amount at December 31, 1998.

We own one piece of other real estate.  At the present time  our other real
estate is leased with an option to purchase.  The income proceeds received on
the lease are being matched with an offsetting write down of other real
estate.  At June 30, 1999 other real estate totalled $228,120 which is down
$1,600 from December 31, 1998.

Results of Operations

Net Income.     Our net income for the six (6) months ended June 30, 1999 was
$174,003 down $23,953 as compared to that of the same period last year.  The
decrease in net income was mostly due to increases in salaries and employee
benefits and other operating expenses.

Revenue. Our net interest income for the six (6) months ended June 30, 1999
is up $41,663 as compared to the same period in 1998.  During the first half
of the year we have experienced loan growth that has improved our interest
margin.  The bank's loan portfolio increased $3,966,272 since the beginning
of the year.

Provision for Loan Losses. Our bad debt reserve totalled $207,339 at June 30,
1999 which represents 1.01% of our gross loans.  During the first half of
1999, we added $35,000 to our reserve for loan loss account.  We increased
our provision for loan losses to set aside reserves for the increase in loans
that we have experienced.  Our reserve for loan loss balance was considered
adequate at June 30, 1999.

Other Income. Our other income is up $10,192 when compared to the same period
last year.  The increase was mostly due to an increase in NSF fee income.

Other Expenses.  Other expenses are up $86,129 as compared to the same time
last year.  Other expenses increased due to increases in salaries and
employee benefits and other operating expenses.  Salaries and benefits
increased as the result of raises that were provided in the fourth quarter of
1998 and the addition of two new loan employees.  Other operating expenses
increased due to the depreciation and maintenance costs associated with the
purchase of a new check sorter and check image equipment.  Our previous check
sorter was fully depreciated.

Provision for Income Tax. A provision is made for income tax to reflect one
half (6/12ths) of the annualized income tax that we anticipate we will incur.
The provision for income tax for the period ended June 30, 1999 was $76,493
as compared to $86,814 for the same period last year. The decrease in income
tax was due to decreased income for the current year.

Year 2000 Preparation.  Teche Bancshares, Inc. relies on automation to manage
information.  Since the earliest days of electronic computers, programmers
have used two digits to represent the year in date fields (YYMMDD).  In the
1960s when this convention became standard, the two-digit representation made
economic sense because it economized computer memory and saved storage space.
The year 2000 problem exists because a two-digit representation of the year
will be interpreted in many applications to mean the year 1900, not 2000,
unless the date or program logic is modified.  Without modification, many
date sensitive software applications will provide illogical or erroneous
data.

We have inventoried our software, hardware and environmental systems.  We
have identified those critical systems that needed modification in our
business and remediated the affected programs.  We have replaced our check
sorter with a new check sorter and image system.  We have updated our main
application computer software to one provided by our software vendor that is
year 2000 ready.  We have performed testing on all critical systems and have
determined that they are Year 2000 ready.  The total expenditures associated
with the purchase of the new check sorter and conversion of our main
application software were $236,000.  These expenditures were capital in
nature and will be depreciated over a five-year period.  We do not anticipate
that any further significant expenditures will be necessary.

We have considered the effect of the year 2000 on our major customers.  We
are maintaining a list of major customers and monitoring their progress.  We
will be considering the progress of our major customers in our calculation of
the reserve for loan loss throughout the year 1999.

We have prepared a contingency plan for dealing with possible worst case
scenarios.  This plan was approved by our board of directors June 30, 1999.
