                              TECHE HOLDING COMPANY
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The consolidated  financial  statements as of and for the three and six
         month  periods  ended  March 31,  1996  include  the  accounts of Teche
         Holding Company (the  "Corporation") and its subsidiary,  Teche Federal
         Savings  Bank (the  "Bank")  which,  as discussed in Note 3, became the
         wholly owned  subsidiary  of the  Corporation  on April 17,  1995.  The
         Corporation's  business is conducted  principally through the Bank. All
         significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
         in consolidation.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements were prepared in
         accordance  with  instructions  for Form  10-Q and,  therefore,  do not
         include  all  information  necessary  for a  complete  presentation  of
         consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows
         in conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles.  However,
         all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the
         opinion of  management,  are necessary for a fair  presentation  of the
         consolidated  financial  statements have been included.  The results of
         operations  for the periods  ended  March 31, 1996 are not  necessarily
         indicative  of the results  which may be expected for the entire fiscal
         year or any other period.

NOTE 3 - CONVERSION FROM MUTUAL SAVINGS BANK TO STOCK SAVINGS BANK AND
         FORMATION OF SAVINGS AND LOAN HOLDING COMPANY

         On April 17, 1995, the Bank consummated its conversion from a federally
         chartered  mutual  savings bank to a stock  savings bank  pursuant to a
         Plan of Conversion (the "Conversion") via the issuance of common stock.
         In connection  with the  Conversion,  the  Corporation  sold  4,232,000
         shares of common stock which,  after giving effect to offering expenses
         of $1.0 million and 332,000 shares issued to the Bank's  Employee Stock
         Ownership  Plan  ("ESOP"),  resulted in net proceeds of $38.0  million.
         Pursuant to the Conversion, the Bank transferred all of its outstanding
         shares to a newly organized holding company,  Teche Holding Company, in
         exchange for 50% of the net proceeds.

         Upon consummation of the Conversion, the preexisting liquidation rights
         of the depositors of the Bank were unchanged. Specifically, such rights
         were  retained and will be accounted for by the Bank for the benefit of
         such depositors in proportion to their liquidation  interests as of the
         Eligibility Record Date.

NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Earnings per share for the three and six month  periods ended March 31,
         1996 are calculated by dividing the net earnings for the periods by the
         average  shares  outstanding  of 3,884,000  shares for the three months
         ended  March 31,  1996 and  3,906,000  shares for the six months  ended
         March 31, 1996.

NOTE 5 - SECURITIES RECLASSIFICATION

         On November 15, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
         issued implementation guidance with respect to SFAS No. 115 "Accounting
         for Certain  Investments in Debt and Equity  Securities." This guidance
         allowed  a  company  to  reassess  its  designation  of  securities  as
         held-to-maturity   and,  if  deemed   appropriate,   make  a  one  time
         reclassification  of  held-to-maturity  securities between November 15,
         1995 and December 31, 1995.  During this period,  the Bank reclassified
         mortgage-backed  and  investment  securities  with an amortized cost of
         $42.0 million and a net unrealized gain of $1,018,000  ($672,000 net of
         income   taxes)  from   securities   held-to-maturity   to   securities
         available-for-sale.

NOTE 5 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         Effective  October 1, 1995,  the Bank adopted FASB  Statement Nos. 114,
         "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and 118, "Accounting
         by  Creditors  for  Impairment  of a  Loan  -  Income  Recognition  and
         Disclosures."  The provision of these  statements are applicable to all
         loans,  uncollateralized  as well as  collateralized,  except for large
         groups  of  smaller-balance  homogeneous  loans  that are  collectively
         evaluated for  impairment  and loans that are measured at fair value or
         at the lower of cost or fair value. Additionally, such provisions apply
         to all loans that are  renegotiated  in  troubled  debt  restructurings
         involving a modification of terms.

         Statement No. 114 requires that impaired loans be measured based on the
         present  value of expected  future cash flows  discounted at the loan's
         effective  interest  rate or, as a practical  expedient,  at the loan's
         observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan
         is collateral  dependent,  except that loans  renegotiated as part of a
         troubled  debt  restructuring  subsequent  to the adoption of Statement
         Nos. 114 and 118 must be measured for  impairment  by  discounting  the
         total  expected cash flow under the  renegotiated  terms at each loan's
         original effective interest rate.

         A loan evaluated for impairment pursuant to Statement No. 114 is deemed
         to be impaired when,  based on current  information  and events,  it is
         probable  that the Bank will be  unable  to  collect  all  amounts  due
         according  to  the  contractual   terms  of  the  loan  agreement.   An
         insignificant  payment  delay,  which is  defined  by the Bank as up to
         ninety days, will not cause a loan to be classified as impaired. A loan
         is not  impaired  during  the  period of delay in  payment  if the Bank
         expects to collect all amounts due,  including  interest accrued at the
         contractual  interest rate for the period of delay. Thus, a demand loan
         or other  loan  with no stated  maturity  is not  impaired  if the Bank
         expects to collect all amounts due,  including  interest accrued at the
         contractual  interest rate,  during the period the loan is outstanding.
         All loans identified as impaired are evaluated independently.  The Bank
         does not aggregate such loans for evaluation purposes.


         The adoption of Statement Nos. 114 and 118 did not have a material 
         adverse impact on financial condition or operations.

         Payments  received  on  impaired  loans are  applied  first to interest
         receivable and then to principal.

         The  FASB  has  recently  issued  Statement  No.  123  "Accounting  for
         Stock-Based  Compensation"  which the  Company  must  adopt in its year
         ended September 30, 1997 with earlier adoption permitted. Management is
         currently  studying  the  requirements  of the  Statement  but does not
         currently anticipate adopting this Statement prior to fiscal year 1997.

                              TECHE HOLDING COMPANY
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

         Total assets increased to $346.1 million at March 31, 1996, from $323.9
million at September 30, 1995,  reflecting  increases in loans,  investments and
deposits.

         Total loans increased $17.4 million due primarily to loan  originations
in excess of repayments.

         Investment securities and mortgage backed securities available for sale
increased   $47.5  million  due  to  the  Company   reclassifying   all  of  its
mortgage-backed  and  investment  securities  with an  amortized  cost of  $42.0
million from held to maturity to available-for-sale. See Note 5 to the Financial
Statements.  Furthermore,  the Company  utilized  excess  liquidity  to purchase
additional available-for-sale securities.

         Investment  and  mortgage-backed  securities  decreased  $49.2  million
principally due the Company reclassifying such securities as discussed above.

         Deposits increased $7.6 million due to increases in demand deposits and
certificates of deposit.

         Advances  from the  Federal  Home Loan Bank  ("FHLB")  increased  $17.9
million due to additional funding needed for increased loan originations.

         Total  stockholders'   equity  decreased  $2.5  million  due  to  stock
repurchases pursuant to a stock repurchase plan coupled with purchases of shares
of the  Company's  common  stock by the  Company for a stock  compensation  plan
adopted by the shareholders at a special meeting in October, 1995. Such decrease
was offset somewhat by earnings during the first six months of fiscal 1995.

Non-performing Assets

         The following  table sets forth  information  regarding  non-performing
loans and real estate owned.  During the periods  indicated,  the Company had no
restructured loans within the meaning of SFAS No. 15.

         During the six  months  ended  March 31,  1996,  non-performing  assets
decreased by $69,000.  The decrease was primarily due to the sale of real estate
owned, offset somewhat by an increase in nonperforming loans.

Comparison of Earnings for the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 1996 and
1995

         Net  Income.  Net income for the three and six months  ended  March 31,
1996  increased  $52,000 or 6.3% and $619,000 or 52.9%,  respectively,  over the
same periods  ended March 31, 1995.  The increase  during the three month period
was due primarily to an increase in net interest  income  offset  somewhat by an
increase in total non-interest  expenses.  The increase over the prior six month
period ended March 31, 1995 was due  primarily to a loss of $844,000 on the sale
of securities  during the quarter ended  December 31, 1994 which was not present
in the first six months of fiscal 1995.

         Total Interest Income.  Interest Income increased  $73,000 or 12.8% and
$1,391,000 or 12.3% during the three and six month periods, respectively, due to
an  increase  in both the  average  balances  of the  loan  and  mortgage-backed
securities  portfolios due to the investment of proceeds from the Conversion and
increased loan demand.

         Total Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $123,000 or 3.9% and
$436,000 or 7.2% during the three and six month periods, respectively, primarily
to an  increase in the cost of  deposits  due to an increase in market  interest
rates and the Bank emphasizing longer term deposit products. Such increases were
offset somewhat by a decrease in interest paid on advances from the FHLB.

         Net Interest Income.  Net interest income  increased  $610,000 or 23.6%
and $955,000 or 18.3% for the three and six month periods ending March 31, 1996,
respectively,  as  compared to the same  periods  ended  March 31,  1995.  These
increases were the result of total interest income  increasing more rapidly than
total interest expense due to the factors mentioned earlier.

         Provision  for Loan  Losses.  The  provision  for loan losses  remained
relatively  stable,  decreasing  $15,000 and $30,000,  respectively,  due to the
leveling of nonperforming loans.

         Management  periodically  estimates  the  likely  level  of  losses  to
determine  whether the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb  possible
losses in the existing portfolio. Based on these estimates, an amount is charged
or credited  to the  provision  for loan  losses and  credited or charged to the
allowance for loan losses in order to adjust the allowance to a level determined
to be adequate to absorb anticipated future losses.

         Management's  judgment  as to the  level of losses  on  existing  loans
involves the  consideration of current and anticipated  economic  conditions and
their  potential  effects on specific  borrowers,  an evaluation of the existing
relationships  among loans,  known and inherent  risks in the loan portfolio and
the present level of the allowance, results of examination of the loan portfolio
by regulatory  agencies and management's  internal review of the loan portfolio.
In determining the  collectibility  of certain loans,  management also considers
the fair value of any underlying collateral.

         Non-interest  Income.  Non-interest  income  increased  by $89,000  and
$235,000  during  the three  and nine  month  periods  ending  March  31,  1996,
respectively,  as compared to the three and six month  periods  ending March 31,
1995.  These  increases were due primarily to the increase in service fee income
associated with increased demand account volume.

         Non-interest  Expense.  Non-interest  expense  increased  $638,000  and
$1,159,000,  respectively,  due to increased compensation costs and new products
offered by the Bank and the continued  expansion of office facilities.  Expenses
increased  as a result of increased  costs of being a public  company and higher
compensation  expense,  including  the  cost of  stock  benefit  plans  (costing
$226,000  and  $418,000  for the  three and six  months  ended  March 31,  1996,
respectively) adopted in connection with the Bank's

                                        7

mutual to stock  conversion.  The Company became subject to the Louisiana "Share
Tax" beginning January 1, 1996, and accrued approximately $150,000 through March
31, 1996. Both the shares tax and the stock  compensation plans were not present
during the three months  ended March 31, 1995 as the Bank had not yet  completed
the Conversion.

         Gain  (Loss) on Sale of  Securities.  The Company  recognized  gains of
$3,000  and  $72,000 in the sale of  securities  during the three and six months
ended March 31,  1996,  respectively,  compared to no activity  during the three
months  ended March 31, 1995 and a loss of $844,000  during the six months ended
March 31,  1995 due to the sale of $14.5  million  of its  "available  for sale"
portfolio.

     Income Tax  Expense.  Income tax  expense  increased  due to an increase in
income before income taxes during the periods.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Under current Office of Thrift  Supervision  ("OTS")  regulations,  the
Bank must have core capital equal to 3% of total assets and  risk-based  capital
equal to 8% of  risk-weighted  assets,  of which 1.5% must be tangible  capital,
excluding  goodwill.  In measuring  the Bank's  compliance  with its  regulatory
capital  requirements,   the  Bank  must  deduct  from  its  regulatory  capital
calculation  investments in, and advances to subsidiaries  engaged in activities
not permissible for national banks. The Bank has no such  subsidiaries.  The OTS
has proposed  amending its  regulations in such a manner that would increase the
core  capital  requirements  for most thrift  institutions  from 3% to 4% or 5%,
depending upon the institutions financial condition and other factors.  Although
the final form of the regulation cannot be foreseen, if adopted as proposed, the
Bank would expect its core capital requirements to increase to at least 4%.

On March 31, 1996, the Bank was in compliance with its three regulatory  capital
requirements as follows:

         Management  believes  that  under  current  regulations,  the Bank will
continue to meet its minimum capital  requirements  in the  foreseeable  future.
Events  beyond the control of the Bank,  such as increased  interest  rates or a
downturn  in the  economy in areas in which the Bank  operates  could  adversely
affect  future  earnings  and as a result,  the  ability of the Bank to meet its
future minimum capital requirements.

         The Bank's  liquidity  is a measure of its ability to fund  loans,  pay
withdrawals of deposits, and other cash outflows in an efficient, cost effective
manner.   The  Bank's  primary  source  of  funds  are  deposits  and  scheduled
amortization and prepayment of loan and  mortgage-backed  principal.  During the
past several years, the Bank has used such funds primarily to fund maturing time
deposits,  pay savings  withdrawals,  fund  lending  commitments,  purchase  new
investments,  and increase  liquidity.  The Bank is  currently  able to fund its
operations internally but has, in the past, borrowed funds from the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Dallas.  As of March 31, 1996,  such  borrowed  funds totaled $42.1
million.  Loan  payments,  maturing  investments  and  mortgage-backed  security
prepayments  are  greatly   influenced  by  general  interest  rates,   economic
conditions and competition.

         The Bank is required  under  federal  regulations  to maintain  certain
specified  levels of "liquid  investments",  which include certain United States
government  obligations  and other  approved  investments.  Current  regulations
require  the Bank to  maintain  liquid  assets  of not  less  than 5% of its net
withdrawable accounts plus short term borrowings.  Short term liquid assets must
consist of not less than 1% of such  accounts  and  borrowings,  which amount is
also included within the 5%  requirement.  Those levels may be changed from time
to time by the regulators to reflect current economic  conditions.  The Bank has
maintained  liquidity in excess of regulatory  requirements.  Furthermore,  from
time to time,  the Bank  utilizes  FHLB  advances  to the  extent  necessary  to
maintain its liquidity.

                  3,249,064 votes for, 300 votes against, and 7,225 abstentions.

ITEM 5.  OTHER MATERIALLY IMPORTANT EVENTS

                  Potential  One-Time  Assessment.  Currently,  the Bank pays an
                  insurance premium to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
                  ("FDIC") equal to .23% of its total deposits. In August, 1995,
                  the FDIC  announced  that it will lower the insurance  premium
                  for  members of the Bank  Insurance  Fund  ("BIF"),  primarily
                  commercial  banks,  to a range of  between  0.04% and 0.31% of
                  deposits,  with the result that most commercial banks will pay
                  the lowest rate of 0.04%. This reduction in insurance premiums
                  for BIF members could place Savings Association Insurance Fund
                  ("SAIF") members, primarily savings associations,  such as the
                  Bank, at a material  competitive  disadvantage  to BIF members
                  and,  for the reasons set forth  below,  could have a material
                  adverse  effect on the  results of  operations  and  financial
                  condition of the Bank in future periods.

                  The disparity in insurance premiums between those required for
                  the Bank and BIF  members  could  allow BIF members to attract
                  and  retain  deposits  at a lower  effective  cost  than  that
                  possible for the Bank and put competitive pressure on the Bank
                  to raise its interest  rates paid on deposits thus  increasing
                  its cost of funds and possibly reducing net

                                       10


<PAGE>



                  interest income. The resultant competitive  disadvantage could
                  result in the Bank  losing  deposits to BIF members who have a
                  lower cost of funds and are therefore able to pay higher rates
                  of interest on deposits.  Although the Bank has other  sources
                  of funds, these other sources may have higher costs than those
                  of deposits.

                  Several  alternatives  to mitigate  the effect of the BIF/SAIF
                  insurance premium disparity have recently been proposed by the
                  U.S. Congress, federal regulators,  industry lobbyists and the
                  Administration.  One plan that has  gained  support of several
                  sponsors would require all SAIF member institutions, including
                  the Bank,  to pay a one-time  fee of up to 85 basis  points on
                  the  amount of  deposits  held by the  member  institution  to
                  recapitalize   the  SAIF.  If  this  proposal  is  enacted  by
                  Congress,  the  effect  would  be to  immediately  reduce  the
                  capital of the  SAIF-member  institutions by the amount of the
                  fee, and such amount would be immediately charged to earnings,
                  unless the  institutions are permitted to amortize the expense
                  of the fee over a period of years.  Management  of the Bank is
                  unable  to  predict  whether  this  proposal  or  any  similar
                  proposal will be enacted or whether ongoing SAIF premiums will
                  be reduced to a level equal to that of BIF premiums.
