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, 1997 include the accounts of Teche
Holding Company (the "Corporations") and its subsidiary, Teche Federal
Savings Bank (the "Bank"). 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 period ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal
year or any other period.
NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended March 31,
1997 and 1996 are calculated by dividing the net earnings for the
periods by the average shares outstanding of 3,171,000 and 3,884,000
shares for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, and
3,199,000 and 3,906,000 shares for the six months ended March 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively.
NOTE 4 - 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
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities. The FASB issued SFAS No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities" (SFAS No. 125) and SFAS No. 127,
"Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB
Statement No. 125" (SFAS No. 127) in June and December 1996,
respectively. SFAS No. 125 provides accounting and reporting standards
for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities. It requires entities to recognize servicing assets and
liabilities for all contracts to service financial
4
<PAGE>
assets, unless the assets are securitized and all servicing is
retained. The servicing assets will be measured initially at fair
value, and will be amortized over the estimated useful lives of the
servicing assets. In addition, the impairment of servicing assets will
be recognized through a valuation allowance. SFAS No. 125 also
addresses the accounting and reporting standards for securities
lending, dollar-rolls, repurchase agreements and similar transactions.
The Company has prospectively adopted SFAS No. 125 on January 1, 1997.
However, in accordance with SFAS No. 127, the Company will defer
adoption of the standard as it relates to securities lending,
dollar-rolls, repurchase agreements and similar transactions until
January 1, 1998. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No.
125 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
Earnings per Share. On March 3, 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" (SFAS No. 128) which is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS No.
128 replaces APB Opinion 15, "Earnings per Share," and simplifies the
computation of earnings per share (EPS) by replacing the presentation
of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. In addition, the
Statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS by
entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS includes no
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity,
similar to fully diluted EPS. The computation of EPS will be
compatible with international standards, as the International
Accounting Standards Committee recently issued a comparable standard.

TECHE HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
GENERAL
The Corporation's total assets at March 31, 1997 and September 30, 1996 totaled
$393.6 million and $379.6 million, respectively, an increase of 3.7%, primarily
due to increases in loans and deposits.
Securities available-for-sale totaled $39.1 million at March 31, 1997, which
represents a decrease of $5.4 million or 12.1% as compared to September 30, 1996
as the Corporation sold an investment in equity securities and the funds,
including those from maturing mortgage-backed securities, were invested in
loans.
Loans receivable, net of the allowance for loan losses increased $16.9 million
or 5.4% due to loan originations.
Total deposits, after interest credited, at March 31, 1997 were $272.6 million
which represents an increase of 7.0% as compared to September 30, 1996.
Stockholders' equity increased slightly from September 30, 1996 to March 31,
1997, primarily as a result of net income offset somewhat by the purchase of
common stock by the Corporation pursuant to its stock repurchase program and the
payment of dividends.
COMPARISON OF EARNINGS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1997 AND 1996
Net Income. The Corporation had net income of $1.1 million and $2.0 million for
the three and six months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to net income of $.9
million and $1.8 million for the three and six month periods ended March 31,
1996, respectively. The increase during both periods was due primarily to the
sale of equity securities. Earnings, before the gain on the sale of equity
securities ("core earnings") for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997
were $1.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively. This increase in core earnings
was primarily due to increased net interest income offset somewhat by increased
non-interest expenses.
Total Interest Income. Total interest income increased by $.9 million or 13.1%
and $1.9 million or 15.4% for the three and six months ended March 31, 1997,
respectively, as compared to the same period ending March 31, 1996 due primarily
to an increase in the average balances of the loans. The average yield on loans
decreased to 7.87% for the six months ended March 31, 1997 from 8.13% in 1996.
This decrease was offset somewhat by an increase in interest and/or dividends
earned on mortgage-backed and investment securities available for sale.
Total Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased 23.7% and 24.9% for the
three and six month periods due to an increase in market rates of interest and
average balances of deposits and borrowings.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income remained relatively stable, increasing
2.3% and 5.3% for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997 as
compared to the same periods ended March 31, 1996.
6
<PAGE>
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses decreased $15,000 and
$30,000 for the three month and six month periods.
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. Total non-interest income increased during both periods
primarily due to an increase in service fee income associated with increased
demand account volume.
Non-interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased both periods due
primarily to increases in total compensation resulting from the ESOP and other
factors, including continued growth, and marketing fees for new products offered
by the Bank, and stationary, supplies, postage and other operating expenses.
Such increases were offset somewhat by decreased deposit insurance costs.
Gain on Sale of Securities. The Company experienced gains of $264,000 and
$267,000 on the sale of securities during the three and six months ended March
31, 1997 compared to gains of $3,000 and $72,000 during the same periods ended
March 31, 1996. The increases during both periods in fiscal 1997 were due to the
sale by the Company of certain equity securities holdings.
Income Tax Expense. Income taxes increased during the periods primarily due to
an increase in income before income taxes.

<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Under current Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations, the Bank
maintains certain levels of capital. On March 31, 1997, the Bank was in
compliance with its three regulatory capital requirements as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Amount Percent
------ -------
(In thousands)
<S> <C> <C>
Tangible capital.............................. $45,582 11.53%
Tangible capital requirement.................. 5,929 1.50

Core capital.................................. $45,582 11.53%

Risk based capital requirement................ 16,781 8.00
------ -----
Excess over requirement....................... $31,253 14.90%
====== =====
</TABLE>
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. Historically, the Bank was able to fund its
operations internally but has recently borrowed funds from the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Dallas. As of March 31, 1997, such borrowed funds totaled $65 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.
8
<PAGE>
Impact of Inflation
The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation and notes
thereto, presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP,
which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in
terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative
purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is
reflected in the increased cost of the Corporation's operations. Unlike most
industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Corporation
are financial. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the
Corporation's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation.
Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same
extent as the prices of goods and services.
