PART I
Item 1. Business
- -----------------
General
Teche Holding Company (the "Company" or the "Registrant") is a
Louisiana corporation organized in December 1994 at the direction of Teche
Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank" or "Teche Federal") to acquire all of the
capital stock that the Bank issued in its conversion from the mutual to stock
form of ownership (the "Conversion"). References to the "Bank" or "Teche
Federal" herein, unless the context requires otherwise, refer to the Company on
a consolidated basis.
The Bank is a community-oriented federal savings bank offering a
variety of financial services to meet the local banking needs of St. Mary,
Lafayette, Iberia, St. Martin and Terrebonne Parishes, Louisiana (the "Primary
Market Area"). Teche Federal conducts its business from its main office in
Franklin, Louisiana and eight full service branch offices located in Morgan
City, Bayou Vista, New Iberia (two offices), Lafayette (two offices), Breaux
Bridge and Houma, Louisiana. The Bank also maintains a loan production office in
Lafayette.
The Company and the Bank are subject to regulation by the Office of
Thrift Supervision ("OTS"), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")
and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Market Area/Competition
Teche Federal's home office is located in Franklin, St. Mary Parish,
Louisiana, which is approximately 50 miles southeast of Lafayette, 90 miles
south of Baton Rouge and 120 miles west of New Orleans. The limited population
of Franklin and St. Mary Parish (approximately 9,000 and 64,000, respectively)
has, over the years, caused the Bank to expand through the establishment of
branch offices in the contiguous Parishes of Iberia, St. Martin, Lafayette and
Terrebonne.
The local economy is dependent to a certain extent on the oil and gas,
seafood and agricultural (primarily sugar cane) industries. These industries are
cyclical in nature and have a direct impact on the level and performance of the
Bank's loan portfolio. Economic downturns in the past have caused a decrease in
loan originations and an increase in nonperforming assets. However, the
metropolitan Lafayette area, which is the fourth largest city in Louisiana, has
experienced sustained growth and is the home to the University of Southwestern
Louisiana, several hospitals and various small-to medium-size businesses, and
has provided the Bank with increased lending opportunities.
The Bank encounters strong competition both in the attraction of
deposits and origination of real estate and other loans. Competition comes
primarily from other financial institutions in its Primary Market Area,
including savings banks, commercial banks and savings associations, credit
unions and investment and mortgage brokers in serving its Primary Market Area.
The Bank also originates mortgage loans through its branch offices, one
origination office and affiliations with mortgage originators, secured by
properties throughout its Primary Market Area and other locations in Louisiana.

portfolio.
Loan Purchases. While the Bank primarily focuses on the origination of
one- to four-family residential mortgages, in 1992 the Bank purchased $4.7
million of performing adjustable and fixed-rate mortgage loans from the RTC at a
$200,000 discount. The Bank has not purchased any loans since 1992.

(1) Many of these adjustable-rate loans have initial fixed terms of three to
ten years, with rates adjusting annually thereafter. See "-- One- to
Four-Family Residential Loans."
One- to Four-Family Residential Loans. The primary lending activity of
Teche Federal is the origination of one- to four-family owner-occupied,
residential mortgage loans, secured by property located in the Bank's Primary
Market Area.
Teche Federal generally originates single-family owner occupied
residential mortgage loans in amounts up to 80% of the lower of the appraised
value or selling price of the property securing the loan. The Bank also
originates such loans in amounts up to 95% of the lower of the appraised value
or selling price of the mortgaged property, provided that private mortgage
insurance is provided on the amount in excess of 80% of the lesser of the
appraised value or selling price.
4
<PAGE>
The Bank currently offers ARMs with terms of up to 30 years that
initially adjust on the first, third, fifth or tenth year after origination and
annually thereafter. The Bank began offering ARMs in 1981. The Bank originated
$44.6 million of ARMs during the year ended September 30, 1997, of which $8.3
million will first adjust annually after five years. The initial rate is
determined by the Bank in accordance with market and competitive factors.
Historically, the predominant index was based on the monthly median cost of
funds at all SAIF insured financial institutions. For ARMs originated after
December 31, 1994, the Bank uses an index based on the one-year U.S. Treasury
Bill rate adjusted to constant maturity. The terms and conditions of the ARM
loans held by the Bank are varied, partially due to changing market conditions
and partially due to the acquisition by the Bank of loans of First Federal in
Breaux Bridge from the RTC, Community Homestead in Houma and other loan
purchases. The Bank's current ARM originations adjust by a maximum of 2.0% per
adjustment, with a current lifetime cap of 11.875%.
The Bank offers fixed-rate mortgages with terms of up to 30 years,
which amortize monthly. Interest rates charged on fixed-rate mortgage loans are
competitively priced based on market conditions and the Bank's cost of funds.
The Bank originates and holds its fixed-rate mortgage loans as long term
investments. Most loans are originated in conformance with the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") and the Federal National Mortgage Association
("FNMA") guidelines and can therefore be sold in the secondary market should
management deem it necessary. The Bank originated $22.7 million of fixed-rate
mortgage loans during the year ended September 30, 1997.
The Bank offers home equity loans on single family owner-occupied
residences. At September 30, 1997, home equity mortgage loans totaled $8.2
million. Home equity loans are offered as fixed-rate loans for a term not to
exceed 15 years or ARMs for terms up to 30 years. The underwriting standards for
second mortgage loans are the same as the Bank's standards applicable to one- to
four-family residences.
Residential Construction/Permanent Loans. The Bank's construction loans
have primarily been made to finance the construction of owner-occupied
single-family owner occupied residential properties and, to a limited extent,
single family housing for sale by contractors. Construction/permanent loans
generally are made to customers of the Bank in its Primary Market Area. The Bank
offers construction/permanent loans in amounts up to 80% of the appraised value
of the property securing the loan. Loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as
construction progresses and as inspections warrant. Construction/permanent loans
to individuals generally do not pay off at completion of the construction phase,
but are automatically transferred to the Bank's one- to four-family residential
portfolio. These single-family residential loans are structured to allow the
borrower to pay interest only on the funds advanced for the construction for a
period of up to six months at the end of which time the loan converts to a
permanent mortgage. While construction lending is generally considered to
involve a higher degree of risk than financing of existing residential
properties, at September 30, 1997, no construction/permanent loans were
delinquent.
Multi-Family and Commercial Real Estate Loans. The Bank has
historically originated a limited amount of loans secured by multi-family and
commercial real estate, including non-owner occupied residential multi-family
dwelling units (more than four units), as well as professional office buildings
and apartment complexes.
5
<PAGE>
The Bank generally originates multi-family and commercial real estate
loans up to 70% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. The
Bank's philosophy to originate commercial real estate and multi-family loans
only to borrowers known to the Bank and on properties in its market area. The
multi-family and commercial real estate loans in the Bank's portfolio generally
consist of fixed-rate and ARMs which were originated at prevailing market rates
for terms up to 15 years.
Loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate are generally
larger and involve a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential
mortgage loans. Of primary concern in multi-family and commercial real estate
lending is the borrower's creditworthiness, the feasibility and cash flow
potential of the project, and the outlook for successful operation or management
of the properties. As a result, repayment of such loans may be subject to a
greater extent than residential real estate loans to adverse conditions in the
real estate market or the economy. In accordance with the Bank's classification
of assets policy and procedure, the Bank requests annual financial statements on
major loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate. At September 30,
1997 the aggregate balance of the five largest multi-family and commercial real
estate loans totaled $1.7 million with no single loan larger than $363,000.
Land Loans. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had $2.6 million invested
in residential lot loans to individuals.
Consumer Loans. The Bank also offers loans in the form of loans secured
by deposits, home equity loans, automobile loans, mobile home loans, credit card
loans and unsecured personal consumer loans. Federal regulations allow the Bank
to make secured and unsecured consumer loans of up to 35% of the Bank's assets.
The Bank originates consumer loans in order to provide a wide range of
financial services to its customers and because the shorter terms and normally
higher interest rates on such loans help maintain a profitable spread between
its average loan yield and its cost of funds. In connection with consumer loan
applications, the Bank verifies the borrower's income and reviews a credit
bureau report. In addition, the relationship of the loan to the value of the
collateral is considered.
Loans secured by deposits at the Bank are typically made for no more
than 90% of the deposit and at an interest rate 2% above the rate paid on the
deposit. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had $6.0 million of loans secured by
deposits.
Teche Federal also originates automobile and mobile home loans. At
September 30, 1997, $5.7 million and $.7 million consisted of automobile and
mobile home loans, respectively.
The Bank has recently instituted a credit card program whereby
customers are offered revolving credit through Teche Federal credit cards which
are serviced by a third-party vender. At September 30, 1997, such credit cards
had a balance of $1.7 million.
Consumer loans tend to be originated at higher interest rates than
conventional residential mortgage loans and for shorter terms which benefits the
Bank's interest rate risk management. However, consumer loans generally involve
more risk than first mortgage one- to four-family residential real estate loans.
Repossessed collateral for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source
of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of damage, loss or
depreciation, and the remaining deficiency often does not warrant further
substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In addition, loan
collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability, and
thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or
personal bankruptcy. Further, the application of
6
<PAGE>
various state and federal laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and
insolvency law, may limit the amount which may be recovered. These loans may
also give rise to defenses by the borrower against the Bank and a borrower may
be able to assert against the Bank claims and defenses which it has against the
seller of the underlying collateral. In underwriting consumer loans, the Bank
considers the borrower's credit history, an analysis of the borrower's income
and ability to repay the loan, and the value of the collateral. The Bank's risks
associated with consumer loans have been further limited by the modest amount of
consumer loans made by the Bank. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had
approximately $.1 million in consumer loans delinquent more than 90 days.
Loan Approval Authority and Underwriting. All loans of $100,000 or
more, including second mortgage loans where the total of both the first and
second mortgages exceeds $100,000, assumptions and loans to facilitate the sale
of REO, must be approved by a minimum of two members of the senior loan
committee and a loan officer for the geographic area where the collateral for
the loan is located.
All loans of $30,000 to $100,000, including second mortgage loans where
the total of both the first and second mortgages exceed this amount, assumptions
and loan to facilitate the sale of REO, must be approved by a minimum of three
members of the loan committee or by two members of the loan committee, one of
which is a member of the senior loan committee. All loans of under $30,000 must
be approved by two loan committee members.
Certain officers approved by the Board are authorized to approve
consumer loans. The amounts which any one officer may approve for a secured
consumer loan range from $25,000 to $15,000. The maximum amounts for unsecured
consumer loans are $5,000 to $3,000. Any two loan officers may combine authority
for consumer loans up to their combined limits.
One- to four-family residential mortgage loans are generally
underwritten according to FHLMC and FNMA guidelines, generally utilizing their
approved mortgage documents. For all loans originated by the Bank, upon receipt
of a completed loan application from a prospective borrower, a credit report is
ordered, income and certain other information is verified and, if necessary,
additional financial information is requested. An appraisal of the real estate
intended to secure the proposed loan is required which typically is performed by
an independent appraiser designated and approved by the Board of Directors of
the Bank. The Bank makes construction/permanent loans on individual properties.
Funds advanced during the construction phase are held in a loan-in-process
account and disbursed based upon various stages of completion. The independent
appraiser or loan officer determines the stage of completion based upon its
physical inspection of the construction.
The Bank generally requires title insurance for its one- to four-family
residential loans, (except in St. Mary Parish, where an attorney's title opinion
is customarily considered sufficient). The Bank requires that fire and extended
coverage casualty insurance (and, if appropriate, flood insurance) be maintained
in an amount at least equal to the outstanding loan balance.
It is the Bank's policy to require borrowers to advance funds on a
monthly basis together with each payment of principal and interest to an escrow
account from which the Bank makes disbursements for items such as real estate
taxes and hazard insurance premiums.
Mortgage loans originated by the Bank generally include due-on-sale
clauses which provide the Bank with the contractual right to deem the loan
immediately due and payable in the event that the borrower transfers ownership
of the property without the Bank's consent.

<PAGE>
Loan Commitments. Teche Federal issues written, formal commitments to
prospective borrowers on all real estate approved loans. The commitment requires
acceptance within 30 days of the date of issuance. Commitments for consumer
loans, which are not given in writing, expire 30 days after issuance. At
September 30, 1997, the Bank had $13.6 million of commitments to originate
mortgage loans, including $8.7 million of the undisbursed portion of
loans-in-process.
Loans-to-One Borrower. Savings associations cannot make any loans to
one borrower in an amount that exceeds in the aggregate 15% of unimpaired
capital and retained income on an unsecured basis and an additional amount equal
to 10% of unimpaired capital and retained income if the loan is secured by
readily marketable collateral (generally, financial instruments, not real
estate) or $500,000, whichever is higher. The Bank's maximum loan-to-one
borrower limit was approximately $6.5 million as of September 30, 1997.
At September 30, 1997, the Bank's largest lending relationship
consisted of a $750,000 construction/permanent loan to a non-profit corporation
for the construction of a 60-apartment complex for the elderly and low income
families in Alexandria, Louisiana. This project was funded with a $1.2 million
grant from the Affordable Housing Program of the FHLB of Dallas and a $755,000
loan from the Bank which is fully guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development ("HUD"). The project is currently in use. The next five
largest lending relationships at September 30, 1997 ranged from $405,000 to
$570,000 and were secured primarily by apartment complexes and commercial
properties located in the Bank's Primary Market Area. Of these loans, $1.3
million are classified as substandard. See "-- Non-performing and Problem Assets
- --Classified Assets."
Non-Performing and Problem Assets
General. Teche Federal's Primary Market Area is dependent, to a certain
extent, on the oil and gas, seafood and agricultural (primarily sugar cane)
industries. These industries are cyclical in nature and have a direct impact on
the level and performance of the Bank's loan portfolio. In the mid-1980s, after
sharp increases in interest rates, oil prices fell, causing severe economic
problems in Louisiana and the Bank's Primary Market Area. During this time, the
Bank experienced a sharp increase in non-performing assets and real estate owned
("REO"). The Bank's Primary Market Area has, to a certain extent, diversified
somewhat since the mid-1980's, however, management continues to monitor its loan
portfolio and has instituted various underwriting standards to address any
future economic downturns.
Non-Performing Assets and Delinquencies. When a borrower fails to make a
required payment on a loan and does not cure the delinquency promptly, the loan
is classified as delinquent. In this event, the normal procedure followed by the
Bank is to make contact with the borrower at prescribed intervals in an effort
to bring the loan to a current status. In most cases, delinquencies are cured
promptly. If a delinquency is not cured, the Bank normally, subject to any
required prior notice to the borrower, commences foreclosure proceedings, in
which the property may be sold. In foreclosure sale, the Bank may acquire title
to the property through foreclosure, in which case the property so acquired is
offered for sale and may be financed by a loan involving terms more favorable to
the borrower than those normally offered. Any property acquired as a result of
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned
until such time as it is sold or otherwise disposed of by the Bank to recover
its investment. Any real estate acquired in settlement of loans is initially
recorded at the lower of the loan balance plus unpaid accrued interest or the
estimated fair value at the time of acquisition and is subsequently reduced by
additional allowances which are charged to earnings if the estimated fair value
of the property declines below its initial value. Subsequent costs directly
relating to development and improvement of property are capitalized (not to
exceed fair value), whereas costs related to holding property are expensed.

<PAGE>
The Bank's general policy is to place a loan on nonaccrual status when
the loan becomes 90 days delinquent or otherwise demonstrates other risks of
collectibility. Interest on loans that are contractually 90 days or more past
due is reserved through an allowance account. The allowance is established by a
charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued, and interest
is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received until,
in management's judgment, the borrower's ability to make periodic interest and
principal payments is back to normal, in which case the loan is returned to
accrual status.
The following table sets forth information regarding non-accrual loans,
real estate owned ("REO"), and loans that are 90 days or more delinquent but on
which the Bank was accruing interest at the dates indicated and restructured
loans. There are no restructured loans other than those included in the table.

Real Estate Owned. Real estate acquired by the Bank as the result of
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned
until it is sold. When property is acquired it is recorded at the fair value at
the date of foreclosure. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had REO with a net
balance of $33,000.
Allowances for Loan Losses and Real Estate Owned. It is management's
policy to provide for losses on loans in its loan portfolio and foreclosed REO.
A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management's
evaluation of the losses that may be incurred in the Bank's loan portfolio. Such
evaluation, which includes a review of all loans of which full collectibility of
interest and principal may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other
matters, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral.
Management will continue to review the entire loan portfolio to
determine the extent, if any, to which further additional loss provisions may be
deemed necessary. There can be no assurance that the allowance for losses will
be adequate to cover losses which may in fact be realized in the future and that
additional provisions for losses will not be required.

Investment Activities
General. To supplement lending activities, Teche Federal invests in
residential mortgage-backed securities, investment securities and
interest-bearing deposits. These investments have historically consisted of
investment securities issued by U.S. Government agencies. Such securities can
serve as collateral for borrowings and, through repayments and maturities, as a
source of liquidity. Teche Federal anticipates having the ability to fund all of
its investing activities from funds held on deposit at FHLB of Dallas,
maturities, loan repayments and the Bank's borrowing capacity.
Federally chartered savings institutions have the authority to invest
in various types of assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of
various federal agencies and of state and municipal governments, deposits at the
FHLB of Dallas, certificates of deposit of federally insured institutions,
certain bankers' acceptances and federal funds. Subject to various restrictions,
such institutions also have the authority to invest a portion of its assets in
commercial paper, corporate debt securities and ARM funds, the assets of which
conform to the investments that federally chartered savings institutions are
otherwise authorized to make directly. Savings institutions are also required to
maintain minimum levels of liquid assets which vary from time to time. The Bank
may decide to increase its liquidity above the required levels depending upon
the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to
return on loans.
The Bank is required under federal regulations to maintain a minimum
amount of liquid assets and is also permitted to make certain other securities
investments. At September 30, 1997 the Bank's regulatory liquidity was 6.19%
which is in excess of 5% required by OTS regulations. See "Regulation --
Regulation of the Bank -- Federal Home Loan Bank System" and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --
Liquidity and Capital Resources."
The Boards of Directors of the Bank and the Company maintain Investment
Committees which are authorized to establish and implement investment policies
and to supervise the Bank's or the Company's investment activities. Pursuant to
its delegated authority, the Investment Committees have
13
<PAGE>
established permissible types of investments, quality criteria, portfolio
limits, procedures, controls and committee and individual investment
authorities. The investment policies consider the Bank's and the Company's
business plan, growth plans, current economic environments, range of reasonably
foreseeable economic environments, the types of securities to be held and other
safety and soundness considerations.
Before being purchased, each investment is analyzed as to investment
intent. The Bank distinguishes between investment activities undertaken for
investment, for sale or for trading. Such activities are differentiated based
upon the Bank's desire to earn an interest yield (held to maturity), to realize
a holding gain from assets held for indefinite periods of time (available for
sale) or to earn a dealer's spread between the bid and asked prices (held for
trading). The Bank attempts to earn an acceptable spread between the cost of
funds used to purchase an investment and the return on that investment. Under
circumstances when credit risk, interest rate risk or prepayment risk is
significantly reduced, a lesser return may be considered acceptable.
Securities which are classified as "held to maturity" are accounted for
based on historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums or discounts
using the level yield method. The "held to maturity" portfolio consists
primarily of U.S. Government obligations and securities of various federal
agencies, municipal debt securities and mortgage-backed and related securities.
Securities that are classified as "available for sale" are accounted for at
their market value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate
component of capital. Securities that are classified as "held for trading" are
accounted for at their fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses
included in earnings.
The following table sets forth the carrying value of the Company's
investment portfolio, short-term investments and FHLB stock at the dates

Mortgage-backed and Investment Securities. Mortgage-backed securities
represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family
mortgages, the principal and interest payments on which are passed from the
mortgage originators, through intermediaries (generally quasi-governmental
agencies) that pool and repackage the participation interests in the form of
securities, to investors such as the Bank. Such quasi-governmental agencies,
which guarantee the payment of principal and interest to investors, primarily
include FHLMC, FNMA and Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA").
Mortgage-backed securities typically are issued with stated principal
amounts, and the securities are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans
with interest rates that are within a range and have varying maturities. The
underlying pool of mortgages can be composed of either fixed-rate mortgages or
adjustable-rate mortgage loans. Mortgage-backed securities are generally
referred to as mortgage participation certificates or pass-through certificates.
As a result, the interest rate risk characteristics of the underlying pool of
mortgages, i.e., fixed rate or adjustable rate, as well as prepayment risk, are
passed on to the certificate holder. The life of a mortgage-backed pass-through
security is equal to the life of the underlying mortgages. Mortgage-backed
securities issued by FHLMC, FNMA, and GNMA make up a majority of the
pass-through certificates market. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had
mortgage-backed securities available for sale with an amortized cost of $29.9
million and an estimated market value of $30.4 million.
At September 30, 1997, Teche Federal had an investment securities
portfolio with an amortized cost of approximately $7.4 million, consisting
primarily of obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies, as
permitted by the OTS regulations. The market value of investment securities at
September 30, 1997 (excluding FHLB stock and interest-bearing accounts), was
$7.5 million. Teche Federal will continue to seek high quality investments with
short to intermediate maturities.
Interest-Bearing Accounts Held at Other Financial Institutions. At
September 30, 1997, the Bank held $4.5 million in the FHLB and interest-bearing
deposits in other financial institutions. The Bank maintains these accounts in
order to maintain liquidity.

Sources of Funds
General. Deposits are the major source of the Bank's funds for lending
and other investment purposes. Teche Federal also derives funds from
amortization and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities
of investment securities and operations. Scheduled loan principal and interest
payments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and
outflows and loan prepayments are significantly influenced by general interest
rates and market conditions. Teche Federal also utilizes advances from the FHLB
of Dallas.
Deposits. Consumer and commercial deposits are attracted principally
from within the Bank's Primary Market Area through the offering of a broad
selection of deposit instruments including regular savings, demand and NOW
accounts and certificates of deposit. Deposit account terms vary according to
the minimum balance required, the time period the funds must remain on deposit
and the interest rate, among other factors.
The interest rates paid by the Bank on deposits can be set daily at the
direction of senior management. Senior management determines the interest rate
to offer the public on new and maturing accounts. Senior management obtains the
interest rates being offered by other financial institutions within its market
area. This data along with a report showing the dollar value of certificates of
deposit maturing is reviewed and interest rates are determined.
Regular savings accounts, money market accounts and NOW accounts
constituted $66.0 million, or 23.5% of the Bank's deposit portfolio at September
30, 1997. Certificates of deposit constituted $214.3 million or 76.5% of the
deposit portfolio, including $47.7 million of which had balances of $100,000 and
over. As of September 30, 1997, the Bank had no brokered deposits.
Time Deposits by Rate. The following table presents, by various rate
categories, the amount of certificate accounts outstanding at the dates
indicated and the periods to maturity of the certificate accounts outstanding at
September 30, 1997.

Certificate Accounts of $100,000 and Above. Teche Federal maintains a
policy of offering higher interest rates on certificates with larger balances.
For example, for certificates with terms of 12 months which were purchased on
September 30, 1997, those with balances of $500 would yield 4.75%, those with
balances of $40,000 would yield 5.00%, those with balances of $75,000 would
yield 5.10% and those with balances of $99,000 would yield 5.20%. As a result,
to some extent, Teche Federal customers tend to consolidate accounts to earn the
highest possible interest. This enables the Bank to effectively compete in the
marketplace, reduce the number of accounts and associated costs, and increase,
to some extent the number of accounts with balances of $100,000. The following
table indicates the
17

Borrowings
Deposits are the primary source of funds of the Bank's lending and
investment activities and for its general business purposes. The Bank may obtain
advances from the FHLB of Dallas to supplement its supply of lendable funds.
Advances from the FHLB of Dallas are typically secured by a pledge of the Bank's
stock in the FHLB of Dallas and a portion of the Bank's first mortgage loans and
certain other assets. The Bank, if the need arises, may also access the Federal
Reserve Bank discount window to supplement its supply of lendable funds and to
meet deposit withdrawal requirements. At September 30, 1997, Teche Federal had
$65.4 million in advances outstanding from the FHLB of Dallas.

Subsidiary Activity
The only subsidiary of the Company is Teche Federal.
As of September 30, 1997, the Bank had one subsidiary: Appraisal
Services, Inc. ("ASI") and the net book value of the Bank's investment in stock,
unsecured loans and conforming loans in its service corporation was $106,000.
ASI was inactive at September 30, 1997.
Teche Federal is permitted to invest up to 2% of its assets in the
capital stock of, or secured or unsecured loans to, subsidiary corporations,
with an additional investment of 1% of assets when such additional investment is
utilized primarily for community development purposes. Under such limitations,
as of September 30, 1997, Teche Federal was authorized to invest up to
approximately $8.1 million in the stock of, or loans to, service corporations
(based upon the 2% limitation).
Personnel
As of September 30, 1997 the Bank had 127 full-time and 46 part-time
employees. None of the Bank's employees is represented by a collective
bargaining group. The Bank believes that its relationship with its employees is
good.
Regulation
Set forth below is a brief description of all materials laws and
regulations which relate to the regulation of the Bank and the Company. The
description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to applicable laws and regulations.
19
<PAGE>
Holding Company Regulation
General. The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company
subject to regulatory oversight by the OTS. As such, the Company is required to
register and file reports with the OTS and is subject to regulation and
examination by the OTS. In addition, the OTS has enforcement authority over the
Company and its non-savings association subsidiaries, should such subsidiaries
be formed, which also permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit activities that
are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings association. This
regulation and oversight is intended primarily for the protection of the
depositors of the Bank and not for the benefit of stockholders of the Company.
The Company is also required to file certain reports with, and otherwise comply
with, the rules and regulations of the OTS and the SEC.
Qualified Thrift Lender Test. As a unitary savings and loan holding
company, the Company generally is not subject to activity restrictions, provided
the Bank satisfies the Qualified Thrift Lender ("QTL") test. If the Company
acquires control of another savings association as a separate subsidiary, it
would become a multiple savings and loan holding company, and the activities of
the Company and any of its subsidiaries (other than the Bank or any other
SAIF-insured savings association) would become subject to restrictions
applicable to bank holding companies unless such other associations each also
qualify as a QTL and were acquired in a supervisory acquisition. See "Regulation
of the Bank -- Qualified Thrift Lender Test."
Restrictions on Acquisitions. The Company must obtain approval from the
OTS before acquiring control of any other SAIF-insured association. Such
acquisitions are generally prohibited if they result in a multiple savings and
loan holding company controlling savings associations in more than one state.
However, such interstate acquisitions are permitted based on specific state
authorization or in a supervisory acquisition of a failing savings association.
Federal law generally provides that no "person," acting directly or
indirectly or through or in concert with one or more other persons, may acquire
"control," as that term is defined in OTS regulations, of a federally insured
savings institution without giving at least 60 days' written notice to the OTS
and providing the OTS an opportunity to disapprove the proposed acquisition. In
addition, no company may acquire control of such an institution without prior
OTS approval.
Federal Securities Law. The Company is subject to filing and reporting
requirements by virtue of having its common stock registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Furthermore, Holding Company stock held by
persons who are affiliates (generally officers, directors and principal
stockholders) of the Company may not be resold without registration or unless
sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. If the Company meets
specified current public information requirements, each affiliate of the Company
is able to sell in the public market, without registration, a limited number of
shares in any three-month period.
Regulation of the Bank
General. As a federally chartered, SAIF-insured savings association,
the Bank is subject to extensive regulation by the OTS and the FDIC. Lending
activities and other investments must comply with various federal statutory and
regulatory requirements. The Bank is also subject to certain reserve
requirements promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board.
20
<PAGE>
The OTS, in conjunction with the FDIC, regularly examines the Bank and
prepares reports for the consideration of the Bank's Board of Directors on any
deficiencies that they find in the Bank's operations. The Bank's relationship
with its depositors and borrowers is also regulated to a great extent by federal
law, especially in such matters as the ownership of savings accounts and the
form and content of the Bank's mortgage documents.
The Bank must file reports with the OTS and the FDIC concerning its
activities and financial condition, in addition to obtaining regulatory
approvals prior to entering into certain transactions such as mergers with or
acquisitions of other savings institutions. This regulation and supervision
establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can
engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the SAIF and depositors.
The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive
discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and
examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of
assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory
purposes. Any change in such regulations, whether by the OTS, the FDIC or the
Congress could have a material adverse impact on the Company, the Bank and their
operations.
Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The Bank's deposit accounts are insured
by the SAIF to a maximum of $100,000 for each insured member (as defined by law
and regulation). The FDIC has the authority, should it initiate proceedings to
terminate an institution's deposit insurance, to suspend the insurance of any
such institution without tangible capital. However, if a savings association has
positive capital when it includes qualifying intangible assets, the FDIC cannot
suspend deposit insurance unless capital declines materially, the institution
fails to enter into and remain in compliance with an approved capital plan or
the institution is operating in an unsafe or unsound manner.
Regardless of an institution's capital level, insurance of deposits may
be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in
unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue
operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or
condition imposed by the FDIC or the institution's primary regulator.
The FDIC charges an annual assessment for the insurance of deposits
based on the risk a particular institution poses to its deposit insurance fund.
Under this system, a bank or thrift pays within a range of six cents to 31 cents
per $100 of domestic deposits, depending upon the institution's risk
classification. This risk classification is based on an institution's capital
group and supervisory subgroup assignment. In addition, the FDIC is authorized
to increase such deposit insurance rates, on a semi-annual basis, if it
determines that such action is necessary to cause the balance in the SAIF to
reach the designated reserve ratio of 1.25% of SAIF-insured deposits within a
reasonable period of time. The FDIC also may impose special assessments on SAIF
members to repay amounts borrowed from the U.S. Treasury or for any other reason
deemed necessary by the FDIC. The Bank's federal deposit insurance premium
expense for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, amounted to approximately
$225,000.
Examination Fees. In addition to federal deposit insurance premiums,
savings institutions like the Bank are required by OTS regulations to pay
assessments to the OTS to fund the operations of the OTS. The general assessment
is paid on a semi-annual basis and is computed based on total assets of the
institution, including subsidiaries. The Bank's OTS assessment expense for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1997 totalled approximately $94,000.
Regulatory Capital Requirements. OTS capital regulations require
savings institutions to meet three capital standards: (1) tangible capital equal
to 1.5% of total adjusted assets, (2) a leverage ratio
21
<PAGE>
(core capital) equal to at least 3% of total adjusted assets, and (3) a
risk-based capital requirement equal to 8.0% of total risk-weighted assets.
Savings associations with a greater than "normal" level of interest
rate exposure will, in the future, be subject to a deduction for an interest
rate risk ("IRR") component may be from capital for purposes of calculating
their risk-based capital requirement. See "-- Net Portfolio Value Analysis."
As shown below, the Bank's regulatory capital exceeded all minimum
regulatory capital requirements applicable to it as of September 30, 1997:

The Bank is not under any agreement with regulatory authorities nor is
it aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if
they were to be implemented, would have a material effect on liquidity, capital
resources or operations of the Bank or the Company.
Net Portfolio Value Analysis - Interest Rate Risk. The bank is subject
to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities,
primarily deposits with short- and medium-term maturities, mature or reprice at
different rates than our interest-earning assets. Although having liabilities
that mature or reprice less frequently on average than assets will be beneficial
in times of rising interest rates, such an asset/liability structure will result
in lower net income during periods of declining interest rates, unless offset by
other factors.
The Bank believes it is critical to manage the relationship between
interest rates and the effect on its net portfolio value ("NPV"). This approach
calculates the difference between the present value of expected cash flows from
assets and the present value of expected cash flows from assets and the present
value of expected cash flows from liabilities, as well as cash flows from
off-balance sheet contracts. The Bank manages assets and liabilities within the
context of the marketplace, regulatory limitations and within its limits on the
amount of change in NPV which is acceptable given certain interest rate changes.
22
<PAGE>
The OTS requires all regulated thrift institutions to calculate the
estimated change in the institution's NPV assuming instantaneous parallel shifts
in the Treasury yield curve of 100 to 400 basis points either up or down in 100
basis point increments. THe NPV is defined as the present value of expected cash
flows from existing assets less the present value of expected cash flows from
existing liabilities plus the present value of net expected cash inflows from
existing off-balance sheet contracts.
The OTS provides all institutions that file a schedule entitled the
Consolidated Maturity & Rate Schedule (CMR") as a part of their quarterly Thrift
Financial Report with an interest rate sensitivity report of NPV. The OTS
simulation model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based
pricing approach to measuring the interest rate sensitivity of NPV. The OTS
model estimates the economic value of each type of asset, liability, and
off-balance sheet contract under the assumption that the Treasury yield curve
shifts instantaneous and parallel up and down 100 to 400 basis points in 100
basis points increments. The OTS allows thrifts under $500 million in total
assets to use the results of their interest rate sensitivity model, which is
based on information provided by the institution, to estimate the sensitivity of
NPV.
The OTS model utilizes an option-based pricing approach to estimate the
sensitivity of mortgage loans. The most significant embedded option in these
types of assets is the prepayment option of the borrowers. THe OTS model uses
various price indications and prepayment assumptions to estimate sensitivity of
mortgage loans.
In the OTS model, the value of deposit accounts appears on the asset
and liability side of the NPV analysis. In estimating the value of certificates
of deposit accounts ("CD"), the liability portion of the CD is represented by
the implied value when comparing the difference between the CD face rate and
available wholesale CD rates. On the asset side of the NPV calculation, the
value of the "customer relationship" due to the rollover of retail CD deposits
represents an intangible asset in the NPV calculation.
Other deposit accounts such as NOW accounts, money market demand
accounts, passbook accounts, and non-interest-bearing accounts also are included
on the asset and liability side of the NPV calculation in the OTS model. These
accounts are valued at 100% of the respective account balances on the liability
side. On the asset side of the analysis, the value of the "customer
relationship" of the various types of deposit accounts is reflected as a deposit
intangible.
The NPV sensitivity of borrowed funds is estimated by the OTS model
based on a discounted cash flow approach.
The OTS uses, as a critical point, a change of plus or minus 200 basis
points in order to set its "normal" institutional results and peer comparisons.
A resulting change in NPV of more than 2% of the estimated market value of its
assets will require the institution to deduct from its capital 50% of that
excess change. The rules provide that the OTS will calculate the IRR component
quarterly for each institution. The greater the change, positive or negative, in
NPV, the more interest rate risk is assumed to exist with the institution. The
following table lists the Bank's latest percentage change in NPV assuming an
immediate change of plus or minus 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points from the
level of interest rates at September 30, 1997.

As the table shows, increases in interest rates would result in net
decreases in the Bank's NPV, while decreases in interest rates will result in
smaller net increases in the Bank's NPV. Based on these specific OTS
regulations, the Bank would be required to deduct $3.7 million from total
capital for purposes of calculating the Bank's risk-based capital requirement.
(The Bank's NPV decreases by 3.2% if interest rates increase by 200 basis
points.) Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above
table. Modeling changes in NPV requires the making of certain assumptions that
may tend to oversimplify the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to
changes in market interest rates. First, the models assume that the composition
of the Bank's interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the
beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured. Second,
the models assume that a particular change in interest rates is reflected
uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or
repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV
measurements do provide an indication of the Bank's interest rate risk exposure
at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to provide a
precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the Bank's
net interest income.
In times of decreasing interest rates, the value of fixed-rate assets
could increase in value and the lag in repricing of interest rate sensitive
assets could be expected to have a positive effect on the Bank.
Prompt Corrective Action. The FDICIA also established a system of
prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized
institutions. Under this system, which became effective December 19, 1992, the
banking regulators are required to take certain supervisory actions against
undercapitalized institutions, the severity of which depends upon the
institution's degree of capitalization. Under the OTS final rule implementing
the prompt corrective action provisions, an institution shall be deemed to be
(i) "well capitalized" if it has total risk-based capital of 10.0% or more, has
a Tier I risk- based capital ratio (core or leverage capital to risk-weighted
assets) of 6.0% or more, has a leverage capital of 5.0% or more and is not
subject to any order or final capital directive to meet and maintain a specific
capital level for any capital measure, (ii) "adequately capitalized" if it has a
total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or more, a Tier I risked-based ratio of
4.0% or more and a leverage capital ratio of 4.0% or more (3.0% under certain
circumstances) and does not meet the definition of "well capitalized," (iii)
"undercapitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than
6.0%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4.0% or a leverage
capital ratio that is less than 4.0% (3.0% in certain circumstances), (iv)
"significantly undercapitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that
is less than 6.0%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3.0% or a
leverage capital ratio that is less than 3.0% and (v) "critically
undercapitalized" if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is
equal to or less than 2.0%. In addition, under certain circumstances, a federal
banking agency may reclassify a well capitalized institution as adequately
capitalized and may require an adequately capitalized institution or an
undercapitalized institution to comply with supervisory actions as if it were in
the next lower category (except that the FDIC may not reclassify a significantly
undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized). Immediately upon
becoming undercapitalized, an institution shall become subject to various
restrictions and could be subject to additional supervisory actions.
The Bank is currently a "well capitalized institution" as defined in
the prompt corrective action regulations and as such is not subject to any
prompt corrective action measures.
Dividend and Other Capital Distribution Limitations. OTS regulations
require the Bank to give the OTS 30 days' advance notice of any proposed
declaration of dividends to the Company, and the OTS has the authority under its
supervisory powers to prohibit the payment of dividends to the Company. In
addition, the Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on its capital stock
if the effect thereof would be to reduce the regulatory capital of the Bank
below the amount required for the liquidation account to be established in
connection with the Conversion.
25
<PAGE>
OTS regulations impose limitations upon all capital distributions by
savings institutions, such as cash dividends, payments to repurchase or
otherwise acquire its shares, payments to shareholders of another institution in
a cash-out merger and other distributions charged against capital. The rule
establishes three tiers of institutions, based primarily on an institution's
capital level. An institution that exceeds all fully phased-in capital
requirements before and after a proposed capital distribution ("Tier 1
institution") and has not been advised by the OTS that it is in need of more
than the normal supervision can, after prior notice but without the approval of
the OTS, make capital distributions during a calendar year equal to the greater
of (i) 100% of its net income to date during the calendar year plus the amount
that would reduce by one-half its "surplus capital ratio" (the excess capital
over its fully phased-in capital requirements) at the beginning of the calendar
year, or (ii) 75% of its net income over the most recent four quarter period.
Any additional capital distributions require prior regulatory approval. As of
June 30, 1993, the Bank was a Tier 1 institution. In the event the Bank's
capital fell below its fully phased-in requirement or the OTS notified it that
it was in need of more than normal supervision, the Bank's ability to make
capital distributions could be restricted. In addition, the OTS could prohibit a
proposed capital distribution by any institution, which would otherwise be
permitted by the regulation, if the OTS determines that such distribution would
constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.
Finally, under the FDICIA, a savings association is prohibited from
making a capital distribution if, after making the distribution, the savings
association would be "undercapitalized" (not meet any one of its minimum
regulatory capital requirements).
Qualified Thrift Lender Test. The Home Owners' Loan Act ("HOLA"), as
amended, requires savings institutions to meet a QTL test. If the Bank maintains
an appropriate level of Qualified Thrift Investments (primarily residential
mortgages and related investments, including certain mortgage-backed securities)
("QTIs") and otherwise qualifies as a QTL, it will continue to enjoy full
borrowing privileges from the FHLB of Dallas. The required percentage of QTIs is
65% of portfolio assets (defined as all assets minus intangible assets, property
used by the institution in conducting its business and liquid assets equal to
10% of total assets). Certain assets are subject to a percentage limitation of
20% of portfolio assets. In addition, savings associations may include shares of
stock of the FHLBs, FNMA and FHLMC as qualifying QTIs. The FDICIA also amended
the method for measuring compliance with the QTL test to be on a monthly basis
in nine out of every 12 months, as opposed to on a daily or weekly average of
QTIs. As of September 30, 1997, the Bank was in compliance with its QTL
requirement with 93.07% of its assets invested in QTIs.
A savings association that does not meet a QTL test must either convert
to a bank charter or comply with the following restrictions on its operations:
(i) the savings association may not engage in any new activity or make any new
investment, directly or indirectly, unless such activity or investment is
permissible for a national bank; (ii) the branching powers of the savings
association shall be restricted to those of a national bank; (iii) the savings
association shall not be eligible to obtain any advances from its FHLB; and (iv)
payment of dividends by the savings association shall be subject to the rules
regarding payment of dividends by a national bank. Upon the expiration of three
years from the date the savings association ceases to be a QTL, it must cease
any activity and not retain any investment not permissible for a national bank
and immediately repay any outstanding FHLB advances (subject to safety and
soundness considerations).
Loans-to-One Borrower. See "Business -- Lending Activities --
Loans-to-One Borrower."
Community Reinvestment. Under the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"),
as implemented by OTS regulations, a savings association has a continuing and
affirmative obligation consistent with its safe and sound operation to help meet
the credit needs of its entire community, including low and
26
<PAGE>
moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific lending
requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an
institution's discretion to develop the types of products and services that it
believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the CRA.
The CRA requires the OTS, in connection with its examination of a savings
institution, to assess the institution's record of meeting the credit needs of
its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of certain
applications by such institution. Current law requires public disclosure of an
institution's CRA rating and requires the OTS to provide a written evaluation of
an institution's CRA performance utilizing a four-tiered descriptive rating
system in lieu of the existing five-tiered numerical rating system. The OTS
reported that Teche Federal had an "outstanding record of meeting community
credit needs," in its last examination dated November 1995. The OTS further
stated that "an institution in this group has an outstanding record of, and is a
leader in, ascertaining and helping to meet the credit needs of its entire
delineated community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, in a
manner consistent with its resources and capabilities."
Transactions With Affiliates. Generally, restrictions on transactions
with affiliates require that transactions between a savings association or its
subsidiaries and its affiliates be on terms as favorable to the Bank as
comparable transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain of these
transactions are restricted to an aggregate percentage of the Bank's capital;
collateral in specified amounts must usually be provided by affiliates to
receive loans from the Bank. Affiliates of the Bank include the Company and any
company which would be under common control with the Bank. In addition, a
savings association may not lend to any affiliate engaged in activities not
permissible for a bank holding company or acquire the securities of any
affiliate which is not a subsidiary. The OTS has the discretion to treat
subsidiaries of savings associations as affiliates on a case-by-case basis.
The Bank's authority to extend credit to its officers, directors and
10% shareholders, as well as to entities that such persons control is currently
governed by Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O
promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. Among other things, these regulations
require such loans to be made on terms substantially similar to those offered to
unaffiliated individuals, place limits on the amount of loans the Bank may make
to such persons based, in part, on the Bank's capital position, and require
certain approval procedures to be followed. OTS regulations, with minor
variation, apply Regulation O to savings associations.
Branching by Federal Savings Banks. Effective May 11, 1992, the OTS
amended its Policy Statement on Branching by Federal Savings Associations to
permit interstate branching to the full extent permitted by statute (which is
essentially unlimited). This permits savings associations with interstate
networks to diversify their loan portfolios and lines of business. The OTS
authority preempts any state law purporting to regulate branching by federal
associations. However, the OTS will evaluate a branching applicant's record of
compliance with the CRA. A poor CRA record may be the basis for denial of a
branching application.
Liquidity Requirements. All savings associations are required to
maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage
of the sum of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and
borrowings payable in one year or less. The liquidity requirement may vary from
time to time (between 4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions and savings
flows of all savings associations. At the present time, the required liquid
asset ratio is 5%. At September 30, 1997, the Bank's liquidity ratio was 6.19%
Liquid assets for purposes of this ratio include specified short-term
assets (e.g., cash, certain time deposits, certain banker's acceptances and
short-term U.S. Government obligations), and long-term assets (e.g., U.S.
Government obligations of more than one and less than five years and state
agency obligations
27
<PAGE>
with a minimum term of 18 months). The regulations governing liquidity
requirements include as liquid assets debt securities hedged with forward
commitments obtained from, or debt securities subject to repurchase agreements
with, members of the Bank of Primary Dealers in United States Government
Securities or banks whose accounts are insured by the FDIC, debt securities
directly hedged with a short financial future position, and debt securities that
provide the holder with a right to redeem the security at par value, regardless
of the stated maturities of the securities. FIRREA also authorized the OTS to
designate as liquid assets certain mortgage-related securities with less than
one year to maturity. Short- term liquid assets currently must constitute at
least 1% of an association's average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit
accounts and current borrowings. Monetary penalties may be imposed upon
associations for violations of liquidity requirements.
Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of
Dallas, which is one of 12 regional FHLBs that administer the home financing
credit function of savings associations. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or
central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily
from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB
System. It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies
and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the FHLB. As of
September 30, 1997, the Bank had $65.4 million borrowed from the FHLB of Dallas
to fund operations; however, there can be no assurances that additional
borrowings will not be made in the future.
As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the
FHLB of Dallas in an amount equal to at least 1% of its aggregate unpaid
residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts, or similar obligations at
the beginning of each year. As of September 30, 1997, the Bank had $3.9 million
in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement.
The FHLBs are required to provide funds for the resolution of troubled
savings associations and to contribute to affordable housing programs through
direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment
and low- and moderate-income housing projects. These contributions have
adversely affected the level of FHLB dividends paid and could continue to do so
in the future. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, dividends paid by
the FHLB of Dallas to the Bank totalled $224,000.
Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Board requires all
depository institutions to maintain non-interest bearing reserves at specified
levels against their transaction accounts (primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW
checking accounts) and non-personal time deposits. The balances maintained to
meet the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board may be used
to satisfy the liquidity requirements that are imposed by the OTS. At September
30, 1997, the Bank's total transaction accounts were in compliance with the
Federal Reserve Board requirements.
Savings associations have authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve
Bank "discount window," but Federal Reserve policy generally requires savings
associations to exhaust all OTS sources before borrowing from the Federal
Reserve System. The Bank had no such borrowings at September 30, 1997.
State Taxation
The Louisiana Corporation Income Tax Act provides for an exemption from
the Louisiana Corporation Income Tax for mutual savings banks and for banking
corporations, which includes stock associations (e.g., the Bank). However, this
exemption does not extend to non-banking entities such as the Company. The
non-banking subsidiaries of the Bank (as well as the Company) are subject to the
Louisiana Corporate Income Tax based on their Louisiana taxable income, as well
as franchise taxes. The Louisiana Corporation Income Tax applies at graduated
rates from 4% upon the first $25,000 of
28
<PAGE>
Louisiana taxable income to 8% on all Louisiana taxable income in excess of
$200,000. For these purposes, "Louisiana taxable income" means net income which
is earned within or derived from sources within the State of Louisiana, after
adjustments permitted under Louisiana law including a federal income tax
deduction and an allowance for net operating losses, if any. Beginning January
1, 1996, the Company became subject to the Louisiana Shares Tax and the
Louisiana Franchise Tax. The Louisiana Shares Tax is imposed on the assessed
value of the Bank's stock. The formula for deriving the assessed value is to
calculate 15% of the sum of (i) 20% of a corporation's capitalized earnings,
plus (ii) 80% of a corporation's taxable stockholders' equity, and to subtract
from that amount 50% of a corporation's real and personal property assessment.
Other various items may also be subtracted in calculating a corporation's
capitalized earnings. The Louisiana Shares Tax and the Louisiana Franchise Tax
was approximately $350,000 (net of taxes) for the year ended September 30, 1997.
Item 2. Description of Properties
- -----------------------------------
Properties
The Bank operates from its main office located at 211 Willow Street,
Franklin, Louisiana and eight branch offices. The Bank's total investment in
office property and equipment is $9.8 million with a net book value of $6.4
million at September 30, 1997. The Bank currently operates automated teller
machines at most of its branch offices.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
- --------------------------
Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are involved in any pending
legal proceedings, other than routine legal matters occurring in the ordinary
course of business, which in the aggregate involve amounts which are believed by
management to be immaterial to the consolidated financial condition or results
of operations of the Company.

President's Message
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On behalf of the Board of Directors, management and staff of Teche Holding
Company and Teche Federal Savings Bank, I am pleased to present our Annual
Report for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997.
In our second full year of operations since the successful completion of
the conversion of Teche Federal Savings Bank from a federally chartered mutual
savings association to a federally chartered stock savings bank we have
continued to grow while maintaining a strong financial condition. We saw
increases in deposits, loans, stockholders equity and earnings.
This past year was also a painful one as we lost our friend and Advisory
Director, Chris Ibert. Devoted to his family, his church and his work, Chris
will not only be missed by the directors, officers and staff of Teche, but by
the entire Franklin area community.
We have both implemented new products and expanded existing lines. Last
year we made over $67 million in mortgage loans to 867 local families and over
$16 million in consumer loans to 1,433 local customers. Teche customer response
to ATMCheck Cards was overwhelming. Furthermore, 24 hour banking continues to
grow in popularity.
The year 1997 was marked by several large conglomerate banks acquiring
local community banks. Each time a local community bank closes, many of their
former customers turn to Teche Federal Savings Bank for their financial
services. Local customers appreciate the services, local management and
independence of Teche.
The Bank serves the Parishes of St. Mary, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Martin and
Terrebonne through 9 full service locations and 16 ATMs.
This year will continue to bring change to Teche Federal. The completion of
the Bayou Vista renovation is just around the corner and we expect to complete
construction on two new locations, one in Franklin and another in the Broadmoor
area in Lafayette.
We will also continue our commitment to the community, as our dedicated
staff of 160 tellers, loan officers, check processors, receptionists and others
join in numerous efforts to support local community efforts throughout our
market area.
Our goal is to provide value to our shareholders through earnings including
a lower cost of doing business and higher returns. We are pleased that our
annual dividend rate of $0.50 per share, which we have declared and paid
consistently since our conversion, is the highest in the area.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
Sincerely,
/s/ Patrick O. Little

According to the records of the Company's transfer agent, there were 703
registered stockholders of record at November 24, 1997. This number does not
include any persons or entities who hold their stock in nominee or "street" name
through various brokerage firms.
The Company's ability to pay dividends is substantially dependent upon the
dividends it receives from the Bank. Under current regulations, the Bank is not
permitted to pay dividends if its regulatory capital would thereby be reduced
below (1) the amount then required for the liquidation account established in
connection with the Bank's conversion from mutual to stock form, or (2) the
regulatory capital requirements imposed by the Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS"). Capital distributions are also subject to certain limitations based on
the Bank's net income. See Notes 17 and 18 of notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. The Bank's total capital at September 30, 1997 exceeded the amounts
of its liquidation account and regulatory capital requirements.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General
The Company's consolidated results of operation are primarily dependent on the
Bank's net interest income, or the difference between the interest income earned
on its loan, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities portfolios,
and the interest expense paid on its savings deposits and other borrowings. Net
interest income is affected not only by the difference between the yields earned
on interest-earning assets and the costs incurred on interest-bearing
liabilities, but also by the relative amounts of such interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities.
Other components of net income include: provisions for losses on loans and other
assets; noninterest income (primarily, service charges on deposit accounts and
other fees, net rental income, and gains and losses on investment activities);
noninterest expenses (primarily, compensation and employee benefits, federal
insurance premiums, office occupancy expense, marketing expense and expenses
associated with foreclosed real estate) and income taxes.
Earnings of the Company also are significantly affected by economic and
competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government
policies and regulations of regulatory authorities.
References to the "Bank" herein, unless the context requires otherwise, refer to
the Company on a consolidated basis.
Management Strategy
Management's strategy has been to maximize earnings and profitability through
steady growth while maintaining asset quality. The Bank's lending strategy has
historically focused on the origination of traditional one- to four-family
mortgage loans with the primary emphasis on single family residences in the
Bank's primary market area. This focus, because home mortgage lending is
typically considered to be one of the safer forms of lending, is designed to
reduce the risk of loss on the Bank's loan portfolio. However, the relative lack
of diversification in its loan portfolio structure does increase the Bank's
portfolio concentration risk by making the value of the portfolio relatively
more susceptible to declines in real estate values in its market area. The Bank
supplements its lending operations with the purchase of loans, investments and
mortgage-backed securities.
Asset and Liability Management
Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis. Net interest income, the primary component
of the Bank's net income, is derived from the difference between the yield on
interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank
has sought to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates by monitoring the
effective maturities or repricing characteristics of its interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities. The matching of the Bank's assets and
liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which its assets and
liabilities are interest rate sensitive and by monitoring the expected effects
of interest rate changes on its net interest income and net portfolio value.
4
<PAGE>
The ability to maximize net interest income is largely dependent upon achieving
a positive interest rate spread that can be sustained during fluctuations in
prevailing interest rates. The Bank is exposed to interest rate risk as a result
of the difference in the maturity of interest-bearing liabilities and
interest-earning assets and the volatility of interest rates. Since most deposit
accounts react more quickly to market interest rate movements than do
traditional mortgage loans because of their shorter terms to maturity, increases
in interest rates may have an adverse effect on the Bank's earnings. Conversely,
this same mismatch will generally benefit the Bank's earnings during periods of
declining or stable interest rates.
Teche Federal attempts to manage its interest rate exposure by shortening the
maturities of its interest-earning assets by emphasizing adjustable rate
mortgages ("ARMs"), originating shorter term loans such as residential
construction and consumer loans and the investment of excess liquidity in
purchased loans, adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities and other securities
with relatively short terms to maturity. Furthermore, Teche Federal works to
manage the interest rates it pays on deposits while maintaining a stable deposit
base and providing quality services to its customers. In recent years, the Bank
has increased its short-term borrowings while continuing to rely primarily upon
deposits as its source of funds. At September 30, 1997, the weighted average
term to repricing of Teche Federal's ARM loan and mortgage-backed securities
portfolio was approximately 26 months. In contrast, $134.4 million of the Bank's
certificate accounts and $66.0 million of the Bank's regular deposit accounts
(e.g. NOW, money market, savings) out of $280.3 million of total deposits mature
or reprice within one year or less. Based on past experience, however,
management believes that much of the Bank's deposits will remain at the Bank.
Furthermore, the Bank has approximately $37.6 million in short-term borrowings
and $28.7 million in adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities and $3.0 million
in short-term government securities.
Management believes that it has adequate capital to accept a certain degree of
interest rate risk. In accepting some interest rate risk, the Bank was able to
increase its net interest income in the low interest rate environment that
existed during earlier years. Should interest rates rise, management believes
the Bank's capital position will enable it to withstand such a negative impact
on earnings while the Bank adds higher yielding assets.
Rate/Volume Analysis. The table below sets forth certain information regarding
changes in interest income and interest expense of the Bank for the periods
indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in
volume (changes in average volume multiplied by old rate); (ii) changes in rates
(changes in rate multiplied by old average volume); and (iii) the net change.
The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been
allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to
rate.

Average Balance Sheet. The following table sets forth certain information
relating to the Company's actual and average balance sheet and reflects the
actual and average yield on assets and actual and average cost of liabilities
for the periods indicated and the actual and average yields earned and rates
paid. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expenses by the
average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods
presented. Average balances are derived from month-end balances. Management does
not believe that the use of month-end balances instead of daily average balances
has caused any material differences in the information presented.

Changes in Financial Condition From September 30, 1996 to September 30, 1997
General. Total assets increased $ 24.5 million, or 6.5% to $ 404.1 million at
September 30, 1997 from $ 379.6 million at September 30, 1996, reflecting
increases in loans and deposits..
Loans Receivable, Net. The Bank's net loans receivable increased $ 30.7 million
or 9.7% to $ 346.9 million from $ 316.2 million at September 30, 1996 due
primarily to originations of $88.6 million in fiscal 1997 caused by increased
demand for loans in Teche Federal's primary market. Sixty-six percent of real
estate mortgage loan originations were adjustable.
Deposits. The Bank's deposits, after interest credited, increased $ 25.6 million
or 10.0% to $ 280.3 million at September 30, 1997 from $ 254.7 million at
September 30, 1996 primarily due to increases in certificates and checking
account balances offset somewhat by a decrease in money market account balances.
Advances From FHLB. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas decreased
$ 1.5 million to $ 65.4 from $ 66.9 million at September 30, 1996 as the Bank
was able to fund loan growth from deposits and other sources.
Stockholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity increased $ 2.1 million, from $ 52.3
million at September 30, 1996 to $ 54.4 million at September 30, 1997, due
primarily to net income of $ 3.9 million offset by dividends and the purchase of
common stock for the treasury pursuant to the Company's stock repurchase
program.
Comparison of Operating Results for Years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and
1997.
Analysis of Net Income
General. The Bank reported net income of $3.9 million, $2.5 million and $3.1
million for fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase of $1.346
million or 53.4% during fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996 was primarily due to
the one time special assessment of $1.8 million ($1.2 million net of income
taxes) as a result of legislation enacted on September 30, 1996 to recapitalize
the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which was not present in fiscal
1997. The decrease of $616,000 or 19.6% during fiscal 1996 compared to fiscal
1995 was primarily due to the one time special assessment in fiscal 1996,
discussed above.
Interest Income. Interest income amounted to $29.8 million, $26.6 million and
$23.4 million for the years ended 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Both the
$3.2 million or 12.0% increase in fiscal 1997 and the $3.2 million or 13.7%
increase in 1996 were primarily due to increased loans.
Interest Expense. Interest expense totaled $16.7 million, $14.0 million and
$12.1 million for the years ended September 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Interest expense increased $2.7 million or 19.1% in fiscal 1997 primarily due to
increased certificate account balances coupled with an increase in the average
cost of interest bearing liabilities. Interest expense increased $2.0 million or
16.2% in fiscal 1996 due primarily to increased balances and rates paid on
deposits coupled with an increase in the average cost of interest bearing
liabilities.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income amounted to $13.1 million, $12.6
million and $11.3 million for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Both the increase of $0.5 million or 4.1% from fiscal 1996 to
fiscal 1997 and the increase of $1.3 million or 11.1% in fiscal 1996 were
primarily due to increased loan balances during the year despite a general
decline in the Bank's net interest rate spread and margins during these periods.
Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank provided $240,000, $300,000 and $360,000 for
the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The allowance
for loan losses was $3,182,000 at 1996 fiscal year end and $3,355,000 at 1997
fiscal year end. The decrease in the provision for loan losses in 1997 as
compared to 1996 resulted from management's evaluation of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses.
While the Bank maintains its allowance for losses at a level which it considers
to be adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that
further additions will not be made to the loss allowances and that such losses
will not exceed the estimated amounts. See Note 1 to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

<PAGE>
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income during the years ended September 30,
1997, 1996 and 1995 amounted to $2.59 million, $1.85 million and $1.03 million
respectively. The increase in fiscal 1997 was primarily due to an increase in
transaction accounts. The increase in fiscal 1996 was primarily due to increased
fee income and the sale of an unused office site.
Non-Interest Expense. Absent the one-time SAIF special assessment in fiscal
1996, non-interest expense increased steadily over the three periods, totaling
$9.9 million, $8.6 million and $6.4 million, during the years ended September
30, 1997, 1996 and 1995. The increases in both fiscal 1997 and 1996 were due to
continued expansion of office facilities, increased marketing expenses,
increased investment in new technology and increased costs due to being a public
company and higher compensation expense, including the cost of stock benefit
plans adopted in connection with the Bank's mutual to stock conversion and
company growth. It is expected that the ESOP will be expensed over 10 years. The
principal component of non-interest expense, compensation and employee benefits,
increased in each of the last three years. Other operating expenses increased
from $1.4 million to $1.6 million for the years ended September 30, 1996 and
1997, respectively.
The Bank's deposits are insured up to the legal maximum by the SAIF as
administered by the FDIC. In the past, SAIF members have paid and annual
insurance premium of between 0.23% and 0.31% of total deposits held. On the
other hand, a vast majority of the members of the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"),
primarily commercial banks, paid insurance premiums at or near the legal minimum
of $2,000 per year. Legislation passed on September 30, 1996 required the FDIC
to impose a one-time assessment on all members of the SAIF in order to
recapitalize the SAIF to its federally mandated level of 1.25%. The assessment
equaled approximately 0.65% of an institution's domestic deposits as of March
31, 1995 and was approximately $1.2 million net of taxes for the Bank in the
year ended 1996. SAIF premiums have been lower since the first quarter of fiscal
1997 due to the recapitalization of SAIF.
On January 1, 1996, Teche became subject to the Louisiana Shares Tax and the
Louisiana Franchise Tax. This amounted to an expense of $493,000 and $ 387,000
in the years ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, respectively.
Year 2000. A great deal of information has been disseminated about the global
computer year 2000. Many computer programs that can only distinguish the final
two digits of the year entered (a common programming practice in earlier years)
are expected to read entries for the year 2000 as the year 1900 and compute
payment, interest or delinquency based on the wrong date or are expected to be
unable to compute payment, interest or delinquency. Rapid and accurate data
processing is essential to the operation of the Bank. Date processing is also
essential to most other financial institutions and many other companies. All of
the material data processing of the Bank that could be affected by this problem
is provided by a third party service bureau. The service bureau of the Bank has
advised the Bank that it expects to be year 2000 compliant prior to December 31,
1999. However, if the service bureau is unable to resolve this potential problem
in time, the Bank would likely experience significant data processing delays,
mistakes or failures. These delays, mistakes or failures could have a
significant adverse impact on the financial condition and results of operation
of the Bank.
Gain on Sale of Securities. In the years ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, gain
on the sale of securities amounted to $274,000 and $91,000, respectively. In
fiscal 1995, the Bank sold $14.7 million of securities available for sale as
part of management's effort to restructure its balance sheet to help control the
Bank's interest rate risk, which sale resulted in a loss of $819,000.
Income Tax Expense. For the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the
Bank incurred income tax expense of $2.0 million, $1.3 million and $1.6 million,
respectively. The varying amounts were caused primarily by the varied pre-tax
income of the Bank.

<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of "liquid assets," as defined
by the OTS regulations. This requirement, which may be varied from time to time
depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage
of deposits and short-term borrowings. The required minimum ratio at September
30, 1997 was five percent. Recent OTS action has lowered the requirement to four
percent. The Bank's average liquidity ratio was approximately 6.0 percent during
September 1997. The Bank manages its average liquidity ratio to meet its funding
needs, including: deposit outflows; disbursement of payments collected from
borrowers for taxes and insurance; repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances
and other borrowings; and loan principal disbursements. The Bank also monitors
its liquidity position in accordance with its asset/liability management
objectives.
In addition to funds provided from operations, the Bank's primary sources of
funds are: savings deposits; principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed
securities; and matured or called investment securities. The Bank also borrows
funds from time to time from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (the "FHLB").
Scheduled loan repayments and maturing investment securities are a relatively
predictable source of funds. However, saving deposit flows and prepayments on
loans and mortgage-backed securities are significantly influenced by changes in
market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank strives to
manage the pricing of its deposits to maintain a balanced stream of cash flows
commensurate with its loan commitments and other predictable funding needs.
The Bank usually maintains a portion of its cash on hand in interest-bearing
demand deposits with the FHLB to meet immediate loan commitment and savings
withdrawal funding requirements. When applicable, cash in excess of immediate
funding needs is invested into longer-term investment and mortgage-backed
securities, some of which may also qualify as liquid investments under current
OTS regulations.
The Bank has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises,
such as FHLB of Dallas advances and the ability to borrow against
mortgage-backed and other securities. On September 30, 1997, the Bank had total
FHLB borrowings of $65.4 million, or 16.2% of the Bank's assets.
Management believes the Bank has sufficient resources available to meet its
foreseeable funding requirements. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had
outstanding loan commitments of $13.6 million, and certificates of deposit
scheduled to mature within one year of $134.4 million, substantially all of
which management expects, based on past experience, will remain with the Bank.
Regulations of the OTS require the Bank to meet or exceed three separate
standards of capital adequacy. These regulations require financial institutions
to have minimum tangible capital equal to 1.50 percent of total adjusted assets;
minimum core capital equal to 3.00 percent of total adjusted assets; and
risk-based capital equal to 8.00 percent of total risk-weighted assets. At
September 30, 1997, Teche Federal exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.
See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto,
presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles, 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 and
due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of
the Bank's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets
and liabilities of the Bank are financial. As a result, interest rates have a
greater impact on the Bank'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.

<PAGE>
Proposed Legislation
Bills have been introduced to U.S. Congress that would consolidate the OTS with
the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). The resulting agency
would regulate all federally chartered commercial banks and thrift institutions.
In the event that the OTS is consolidated with the OCC, it is possible that the
thrift charter could be eliminated and all thrifts, such as the Bank, could be
forced to convert to commercial banks. Under current law and regulations, a
unitary savings and loan holding company, such as the Company, which has only
one thrift subsidiary that meets the qualified thrift lender ("QTL") test, such
as the Bank, has essentially unlimited investment authority. Legislation has
also been proposed which, if enacted, would limit the non-banking related
activities of the savings and loan holding company to those activities permitted
for bank holding companies. It is not possible to predict the final form of
legislation, if any.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Teche Holding
Company and subsidiary as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting

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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Teche Holding Company and
subsidiary as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their

TECHE HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies of the Company are described below.
Principles of Consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Teche Holding Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Teche Federal
Savings Bank (collectively "the Company"). All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is a retail
savings bank which attracts deposits from the general public and uses such
deposits primarily to originate loans secured by first mortgages on
owner-occupied, family residences.
Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents -- Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and
non-interest bearing demand deposits with other financial institutions
(approximating $1,992,000 and $1,922,000 at September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively), and interest bearing demand deposits with other financial
institutions (approximating $3,876,000 and $5,150,000 at September 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively).
Securities -- Securities designated as held-to-maturity are stated at cost
adjusted for amortization of the related premiums and accretion of discounts,
computed using the level yield method. The Company has the positive intent and
ability to hold these securities to maturity.
Securities designated as available-for-sale are stated at estimated market
value. Unrealized gains and losses are aggregated and reported as a separate
component of stockholders' equity, net of deferred income taxes. These
securities are acquired with the intent to hold them to maturity, but they are
available for disposal in the event of unforeseen liquidity needs.
Gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the specific
identification method. The related income tax expense (benefit) on securities
gains (losses) was $93,000, $31,000 and $(281,000) in the years ended September
30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Loans Receivable -- Loans receivable are stated at the unpaid principal
balances, less the allowance for loan losses and net deferred loan fees, and
unearned discount. Unearned discount relates principally to installment loans.
Interest on loans is credited to operations based on the principal amount
outstanding using the interest method.
When the payment of principal or interest on a loan is delinquent for 90 days,
or earlier in some cases, the loan is placed on non-accrual status. When a loan
is placed on non-accrual status, interest accrued during the current year prior
to the judgment of uncollectibility is charged to operations. Interest accrued
during prior periods is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Loans are
returned to an accruing status only as payments are received and if collection
of all principal and interest is not in doubt. If doubt exists, any payments
received on such non-accrual loans are applied first to outstanding loan amounts
and next to the recovery of charged-off loan amounts. Any excess is treated as
recovery of lost interest.
The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information
and events, it believes it is possible that the Company will be unable to
collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. The Company's impaired loans include troubled debt restructurings,
and performing and non-performing major loans in which full payment of principal
or interest is not expected. The Company calculates a reserve required for
impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or the loan's observable
market price or the fair value of its collateral. The Company did not have a
significant amount of impaired loans at September 30, 1997 or 1996.
17
<PAGE>
Allowance for Loan Losses -- The allowance for loan losses is a valuation
allowance available for losses incurred on loans. Any losses are charged to the
allowance for loan losses when the loss actually occurs or when a determination
is made that a loss is likely to occur. Recoveries are credited to the allowance
at the time of recovery.
Periodically during the year management 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
to the provision for loan losses and credited to the allowance for loan losses
in order to adjust the allowance to a level determined to be adequate to absorb
such 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.
It should be understood that estimates of loan losses involve an exercise of
judgment. While it is possible that in particular periods the Company may
sustain losses which are substantial relative to the allowance for loan losses,
it is the judgment of management that the allowance for loan losses reflected in
the consolidated balance sheets is adequate to absorb possible losses in the
existing loan portfolio.
Loan Fees, Loan Costs, Discounts and Premiums -- Loan origination and commitment
fees, and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized as an
adjustment to the related loan's yield using the interest method over the
contractual life of the loan.
Discounts received in connection with mortgage loans purchased are amortized to
income over the contractual term of the loan using the interest method. These
discounts have been deducted from the related loan balances.
Premises and Equipment -- The Company computes depreciation generally on the
straight-line method for both financial reporting and federal income tax
purposes. The estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation are: buildings
and improvements, twenty to forty years; and furniture, fixtures and equipment,
three to ten years.
Real Estate Owned -- Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure is
initially recorded at the fair value at the time of foreclosure, less estimated
cost to dispose, and any related writedown is charged to the allowance for loan
losses. The fair values have not exceeded the balances of the related loans.
Valuations are periodically performed by management and provisions for estimated
losses on real estate owned are charged to operations when any significant and
permanent decline reduces the fair value, less sales costs, to less than the
carrying value. The ability of the Company to recover the carrying value of real
estate is based upon future sales of the real estate owned. The ability to
effect such sales is subject to market conditions and other factors, many of
which are beyond the Company's control. Operating income of such properties, net
of related expenses, and gains and losses on their disposition are included in
the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Income Taxes -- Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method.
Income Per Share -- Primary income per share for the years ended September 30,
1997 and 1996 were calculated by dividing net income for the year by the average
shares outstanding during the year, net of treasury shares and the dilutive
effect of common stock equivalents. The shares used in the computation of
primary income per share were 3,192,000 and 3,730,000 for the years ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Primary and fully diluted income per
share for the year ended September 30, 1995 were calculated by dividing the net
income for the period from April 17, 1995 (date of conversion) to September 30,
1995 of $1,791,000 by the average shares outstanding during that same period of
3,910,000 shares. Fully diluted income per share for the years ended September
30, 1997 and 1996 were calculated by dividing net income for the year by the
average shares outstanding during the years, net of treasury shares and the
dilutive effect of common share equivalents outstanding at year end. The shares
used in this computation were 3,334,000 and 3,730,000 for the years ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company accounts for the shares
acquired by the ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6 and,
therefore, shares controlled by the ESOP are not considered in the weighted
average shares outstanding until the shares are committed for allocation to an
employee's individual account.
Reclassifications -- Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior
years' financial statements in order to conform to the classifications adopted
for reporting in 1997.

2. CONVERSION FROM MUTUAL SAVINGS BANK TO STOCK SAVINGS BANK AND FORMATION OF
TECHE HOLDING COMPANY
On April 17, 1995, the Teche Federal Savings Bank converted 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, Teche Holding Company sold 4,232,000 shares of common stock
which, after giving effect to offering expenses of $1.0 million and 332,337
shares issued to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), resulted in net
proceeds of $38.0 million. Pursuant to the Conversion, Teche Federal Savings
Bank transferred all of its outstanding shares to Teche Holding Company, in
exchange for 50% of the net proceeds. This business combination has been
accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to the accounting method
known as the "pooling of interests" method.
3. INTEREST RATE RISK
The Company is engaged principally in providing first mortgage loans to
individuals. At September 30, 1997 the Company had interest earning assets of
approximately $395,000,000, most of which will not mature or be repriced until
after five years. Interest bearing liabilities totaled approximately
$346,000,000, most of which will mature or can be repriced within one year. The
shorter duration of interest-sensitive liabilities indicates that in a rising
rate environment the Company is exposed to interest rate risk because
liabilities may be repricing faster at higher interest rates, thereby reducing
the market value of long-term assets and net interest income. In a falling rate
environment the market value of long-term assets and net interest income may be
increased.

9. ADVANCES FROM FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK AND CASH RESERVE REQUIREMENTS
At September 30, 1997 the Company was indebted to the Federal Home Loan Bank
(FHLB) for $37,628,000 of advances bearing interest at an average rate of 5.6%
which are due in October 1997 and $27,770,000 of advances bearing interest at an
average rate of 6.1% which are due in the year ended September 30, 2002. The
advances due in October 1997 were renewed upon maturity on a short term basis.
At September 30, 1996 the Company was indebted to the FHLB for $64,510,000 of
advances bearing interest at an average rate of 5.39% which were due October 4,
1996 and $2,390,000 of advances bearing interest at an average rate of 5.36%
which were due between October 1, 1996 and October 8, 1996.
The Company is required to maintain certain cash reserves relating to its
deposit liabilities. This requirement is ordinarily satisfied by cash on hand.
10. INCOME TAXES
The Company is permitted under the Internal Revenue Code to deduct an annual
addition to an allowance for bad debts in determining taxable income, subject to
certain limitations. The Company has generally used the percentage of taxable
income method to calculate this addition. This addition differs from the bad
debt experience used for financial accounting purposes. Bad debt deductions for
income tax purposes are included in taxable income of later years only if the
bad debt reserve is used subsequently for purposes other than to absorb bad debt
losses. Because the Company does not intend to use the reserve for purposes
other than to absorb bad debt losses, generally accepted accounting principles
do not require that deferred income taxes be provided on that portion which
existed as of September 30, 1988. At September 30, 1996, retained earnings
included approximately $4,200,000 representing such bad debt deductions for
which no deferred income taxes have been provided.
During the year ended September 30, 1996 legislation was enacted which
eliminates the use of the percentage of taxable income method to calculate the
addition to the allowance for bad debts for income tax purposes. This is
effective October 1, 1996 with respect to the Company. In addition, the
legislation requires that the Company include in taxable income the allowance
established subsequent to September 30, 1988. This allowance amounted to
approximately $2,800,000 at September 30, 1997 and will be included in taxable
income in annual installments of approximately $470,000 beginning October 1,
1998. As the taxes with respect to this allowance are paid they will be added to
deferred tax assets and, therefore, the payment of these taxes should have no
significant effect upon the Company's results of operations.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of
the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of September 30, 1997 and
1996 are as follows (in thousands):

12. RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company participates in a defined benefit multi-employer retirement plan
which covers substantially all employees. The plan is administered by the
Financial Institutions Retirement Fund. Charges to operations under the plan
include normal cost. There were no required payments in the years ended
September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995. The market value of the net assets of the
retirement fund exceeds the liability of the present value of accrued benefits.
No separate information regarding the Company's share of the assets and
liabilities of this plan is available.
13. EMPLOYEE STOCK PLANS
The Company maintains an ESOP for the benefit of Teche Federal Savings Bank's
employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. The ESOP Trust acquired
332,337 shares of common stock in the Company's initial public offering with
proceeds from a loan from the Company. Teche Federal Savings Bank makes cash
contributions to the ESOP on a basis sufficient to enable the ESOP to make the
required loan payments to the Company.
The note payable referred to above bears interest at the prime rate adjusted
quarterly with interest payable quarterly and principal payable in annual
installments of at least $332,337. The loan is secured by the shares of the
stock purchased.
As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to
qualified employees based on the proportion of principal paid in the year. The
Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6.
Accordingly, the shares pledged as collateral are reported as a reduction of
stockholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheets. As shares are released
from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current
market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for income per
share computations. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a
reduction of retained earnings and dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are
recorded as a reduction of debt.
Compensation expense related to the ESOP was $509,000, $432,000 and $$306,000
for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
following is a summary of shares held in the ESOP Trust as of September 30, 1997
and 1996:

In the year ended September 30, 1996, the stockholders of the Company approved
the Teche Holding Company 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") under which
options to purchase 423,200 common shares were reserved and granted to executive
employees and directors of Teche Federal Savings Bank. In the year ended
September 30, 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved the 1997 Plan under
which options to purchase 34,000 shares were reserved and 10,000 were granted.
The exercise prices were equal to the market price ($13.938 per share for the
1995 Plan and $15.938 for the 1997 Plan) on the date of grant and 20% of the
options are exercisable on the first anniversary date after the date of grant
and 20% annually thereafter. All unexercised options expire ten years from the
date of grant. No compensation expense was recognized under the Plans in 1997,
1996 or 1995. The following table summarizes activity relating to the Plans:

In the year ended September 30, 1996, the stockholders of the Company approved
the Management Stock Plan ("MSP") under which restricted grants of 169,280
shares were made to executive employees and directors of Teche Federal Savings
Bank. Teche Federal Savings Bank acquired the Company's stock on the open market
for the benefit of the recipients. The recipients vest 20% annually as long as
they remain as Teche Federal Savings Bank directors or employees. The Board of
Directors could terminate the MSP at anytime. The Company recognizes
compensation expense ratably over the vesting period and the cost of unvested
shares is reported as unearned compensation as a reduction of stockholders'
equity. Compensation expense related to the MSP was $642,000, $420,000 and $-0-
for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. All such
grants are outstanding at September 30, 1997.
The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretation in accounting
for its stock options. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized. In
October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." SFAS No. 123 requires disclosure of the compensation cost for
stock-based incentives granted by the Company based on the fair value at grant
date for awards. Applying SFAS No. 123 would result in pro forma net income and
income per share amounts as follows:
1997 1996
Net income:
As reported $3,867,000 $2,521,000
Pro forma 3,370,000 2,220,000
Primary income per share:
As reported $ 1.21 $ .68
Pro forma 1.06 .60
Fully diluted income per share:
As reported $ 1.16 $ .68
Pro forma 1.02 .60
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using an
option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for
grants: dividend yield of 2.5%; expected volatility of 20 percent; risk-free
interest rate of 7.0 percent; and expected lives of 8 years for all options.
14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
In the normal course of business the Company is a party to financial instruments
with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. The
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and commitments to
sell loans. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit
risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The
contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the involvement the
Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
As of September 30, 1997, the Company had made various commitments to extend
credit totaling approximately $13,600,000 including $8,686,000 of the
undisbursed portion of loans in process. Most of these commitments are at fixed
rates. The rates on fixed rate loan commitments range from 7.125% to 7.75% at
September 30, 1997. The
25
<PAGE>
rates on variable rate loan commitments range from 5.875% to 8.5% at September
30, 1997. As of September 30, 1996, such commitments totaled approximately
$18,700,000 including $10,525,000 of the undisbursed portion of loans in
process. The Company's management does not anticipate any material losses or
gains as a result of these transactions.
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 payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire
without being fully drawn upon, the total commitment amount disclosed above does
not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each
customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained, if considered necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is
based on management's credit evaluation of the customer.
15. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value:
Cash -- For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable
estimate of fair value.
Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities -- For investment securities, fair
value equals quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not
available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar
securities.
Loans -- The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash
flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers
for the same remaining maturities.
Deposits -- The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain
money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The
fair value of fixed-maturities certificates of deposit is estimated using the
rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank -- The face value of these advances is a
reasonable estimate of fair value.
Commitments -- The fair value of commitments to extend credit was not
significant.
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows
at September 30, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands):

16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has granted loans to executive
officers and directors. These loans were made on substantially the same terms,
including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with other persons. The amounts of these loans were not
significant at September 30, 1997 or 1996.
26
<PAGE>
The Company has an employment agreement with an executive officer under which
the Company has agreed to pay the executive officer annual compensation of
$142,000 through November 16, 1999.
The Company has severance agreements with certain other executive officers under
which the Company has agreed to aggregate payments of approximately $835,000 in
the event services of the executives are terminated following a "change in
control" of the Company.
17. SAIF SPECIAL ASSESSMENT AND REGULATORY CAPITAL
On September 30, 1996 legislation was enacted which requires that the Company
pay a SAIF special assessment based upon its deposits as of March 31, 1995. The
$1,824,000 cost of this special assessment which was recorded as of September
30, 1996, was paid in the year ended September 30, 1997. SAIF premiums have been
lower since the first quarter of the year ended September 30, 1997.

The Company's management believes that, under the current regulations, the Bank
will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable
future. However, events beyond the control of the Company, such as increased
interest rates or a downturn in the economy in the Company's area could
adversely affect future earnings and, consequently, the ability of the Bank to
continue to exceed its future minimum capital requirements.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
required each federal banking agency to implement prompt corrective actions for
institutions that it regulates. In response to this requirement, OTS adopted
final rules, based upon FDICIA's five capital tiers. The rules provide that a
savings bank is "well capitalized" if its total risk-based capital ratio is 10%
or greater, its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio is 6% or greater, its leverage
is 5% or greater and the institution is not subject to a capital directive.
Under this regulation, the Bank was deemed to be "well capitalized" as of
September 30, 1997 and 1996 based upon the most recent notifications from its
regulators. There are no conditions or events since those notifications that
management believes would change its classifications.

Stockholder's equity of the Company includes the undistributed earnings of Teche
Federal Savings Bank. Dividends are payable only out of retained earnings or
current net income. Moreover, dividends to the Company's stockholders can
generally be paid only from liquid assets of Teche Holding Company and dividends
paid to the Company by the Bank. The amount of capital of the Bank available for
dividends at September 30, 1997 was approximately $16,000,000.
19. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has 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. 125) 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 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 the required portions of SFAS No. 125 on January 1, 1997. However, in
accordance with SFAS No. 127, the Company will defer adoption of the Statement
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 the remaining portions SFAS No. 125 to have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements.
In March 1997, the FASB issue SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." This Statement
establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS")
and applies to all entities with publicly held common stock or potential common
stock. This Statement replaces the presentation of primary EPS and fully diluted
EPS with a presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS, respectively. Basic EPS
excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Similar to fully diluted EPS, diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution of securities that could share in the earnings. Restatement of all
prior period EPS data presented is required. The Company will adopt this
Statement in the first quarter of the year ending September 30, 1998, as early
adoption is not permitted. Had the provisions of the Statement been in effect as
of September 30, 1997, the Company would have reported basic EPS and diluted EPS
of $1.26 and $1.23 for the year ended September 30, 1997.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income,"
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This Statement
requires that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting
standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial
statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial
statements. This Statement does not require a specific format for financial
statements but requires that a company display an amount representing total
comprehensive income for the period in that financial statement. This Statement
requires that a company classify items of other comprehensive income by their
nature in a financial statement. For example, other comprehensive income may
include foreign currency items, minimum pension liability adjustments, and
unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity
securities. In addition, the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income
must be displayed separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in
capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position.
Reclassifications of financial statements for earlier periods, provided for
comparative purposes, is required. The Company cannot determine the impact that
the adoption of this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated
financial statements until the completion of each reporting period. The Company
presently expects to adopt this accounting standard on October 1, 1998 as
required.
29
<PAGE>
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," which will be effective for the Company
beginning October 1, 1998. The Statement redefines how operating segments are
determined and requires disclosure of certain financial and descriptive
information about a Company's operating segments. The Company has not yet
completed its analysis to determine which operating segments will be reflected
in its financial statements.
20. YEAR 2000
The change in date from 1999 to 2000 poses potential problems for many computer
systems around the world. Certain of the Company's systems may be affected by
this so called millennium bug. The Company is investigating the extent to which
its systems are affected and communicating with all of its significant computer
vendors concerning timely and completed remedies for those systems that require
modification. The Company is also communicating with third parties on which it
relies to assess their progress in evaluating their systems and implementing any
corrective measures. The Company intends to take all reasonably necessary steps
to protect its operations and assets.
