                              TECHE HOLDING COMPANY
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The consolidated  financial statements as of and for the three and nine
         month periods ended June 30, 1998 include the accounts of Teche Holding
         Company (the  "Corporation") and its subsidiary,  Teche Federal Savings
         Bank (the "Bank"). The Corporation's  business is conducted principally
         through  the  Bank.   All   significant   intercompany   accounts   and
         transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements were prepared in
         accordance  with  instructions  for Form  10-Q and,  therefore,  do not
         include  all  information  necessary  for a  complete  presentation  of
         consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows
         in conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles.  However,
         all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the
         opinion of  management,  are necessary for a fair  presentation  of the
         consolidated  financial  statements have been included.  The results of
         operations  for the  periods  ended  June  30,  1998  and  1997 are not
         necessarily  indicative  of the results  which may be expected  for the
         entire fiscal year or any other period.

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

         In February  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB)
         issued Statement of Financial Accounting No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."
         This Statement simplifies the standards for computing income per common
         share  previously  required  under APB  Opinion No. 15,  "Earnings  Per
         Share."  Basic income per common share (EPS)  excludes  dilution and is
         computed  by  dividing  net  income by the  weighted-average  number of
         common  shares  outstanding  for the period.  Diluted EPS  reflects the
         potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
         issue  common stock were  exercised  or converted  into common stock or
         resulted in the  issuance  of common  stock that then shared in the net
         income of the  Company.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income
         by the total of the weighted-average  number of shares outstanding plus
         the effect of outstanding options and MSP stock grants. SFAS No. 128 is
         effective  for the periods in the year ended  September  30, 1998,  and
         requires  restatement  of all prior  period  EPS data.  Following  is a
         summary of the information used in the computation of basic and diluted
         income per common  share for the three and nine  months  ended June 30,
         1998 and 1997.

NOTE 4 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

                  Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
         Extinguishments   of  Liabilities.   The  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  125,
         "Accounting  for  Transfers  and  Servicing  of  Financial  Assets  and
         Extinguishments  of  Liabilities"  (SFAS  No.  125) and  SFAS No.  127,
         "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement
         No. 125" (SFAS No. 127) in June and December 1997,  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 SFAS
         No. 125 on January 1, 1998.  However,  in accordance with SFAS No. 127,
         the  Company  will  defer  adoption  of the  standard  as it relates to
         securities  lending,  dollar-rolls,  repurchase  agreements and similar
         transactions  until  January 1, 1998.  The Company  does not expect the
         adoption of SFAS No. 125 to have a material impact on its  consolidated
         financial statements.

         Reporting  Comprehensive Income. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No.
         130,  Reporting  Comprehensive  Income (SFAS 130).  SFAS 130,  which is
         effective  for  fiscal  years   beginning   after  December  15,  1997,
         establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income
         and  its  components  in  a  full  set  of  general-purpose   financial

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

GENERAL

The  Company's  total  assets at June 30, 1998 and  September  30, 1997  totaled
$412.4 million and $404.1 million,  respectively, an increase of 2.1%, primarily
due to increases in cash and cash equivalents.

Securities  available-for-sale  totaled  $39.6  million at June 30, 1998,  which
represents an increase of $1.7 million or 4.6% as compared to September 30, 1997
as the Company used excess liquidity to purchase additional securities.

Loans  receivable,  net of the  allowance for loan losses,  remained  relatively
stable, increasing $2.1 million or .6%.

Total deposits,  after interest  credited,  at June 30, 1998 were $283.0 million
which  represents an increase of  approximately  1% as compared to September 30,
1997.

Advances  from the Federal  Home Loan Bank of Dallas  increased  $3.2 million or
5.0% due primarily to the purchase of mortgage backed securities  coupled with a
decline in deposits.

Stockholders'  equity  increased $2.7 million or 5.0% from September 30, 1997 to
June 30,  1998,  primarily  as a result of net  income  offset  somewhat  by the
payment of dividends.

MARKET RISK
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 of repricing
characteristics of 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.

The  ability to  maximize  net  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 of stable interest rates.

The Company  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
which  relatively  short terms to maturity.  Furthermore,  the Company  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 June 30, 1998, the weighted  average term to
repricing of the Company's ARM loan and

                                        7

mortgage-backed  securities  portfolio was approximately 26 months. In contrast,
$55.2 million of the Bank's certificate accounts and $72.4 million of the Bank's
regular deposit accounts (e.g. NOW, money market, savings) out of $282.9 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 $14.2  million in  adjustable  rate  mortgage-backed
securities and $4.4 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 a low interest rate environment that existed
during the 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.

COMPARISON  OF EARNINGS  FOR THE THREE AND NINE  MONTHS  ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND
1997

Net Income.  The Company had net income of $1.0 million and $2.9 million for the
three and nine months  ended June 30, 1998 as compared to net income of $911,000
and $2.9  million  for the three and nine month  periods  ended  June 30,  1997,
respectively.  The increase  during the three month period was due  primarily to
increased net interest margin. The decrease during the nine month period was due
primarily  to a greater  gain on the sale of  securities  in 1997 due to greater
activity.  Earnings,  before  the gain on the sale of equity  securities  ("core
earnings") for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1998 remained relatively
stable, totaling $979,000 and $2.9 million, respectively.

Total Interest  Income.  Total interest income increased by $144,000 or 1.9% and
639,000 or 2.9% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1998, respectively,
as  compared to the same  periods  ending  June 30,  1997 due  primarily  to an
increase in the  average  balances  of the  loans.  The average  yield on loans
decreased  to 7.85% for the nine months  ended June 30, 1998 from 7.87% in 1997.
This decrease was offset  somewhat by an increase in interest  and/or  dividends
earned on mortgage-backed and investment securities available for sale.

Total Interest  Expense.  Total interest expense remained  relatively stable for
the three and nine month  periods.  The slight  decrease  during the three month
period was due to lower rates paid on deposits and advances,  offset somewhat by
increased  average  balances.  The slight  increase in the nine month period was
primarily due to an increase in the average balance of advances.

Net Interest  Income.  Net interest income increased 6.8% and 4.3% for the three
and nine month periods ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the same periods ended
June 30, 1997.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses decreased  $15,000 and
$45,000 for the three month and nine month periods.

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


                                        8

<PAGE>



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

Non-interest  Income.  Total  non-interest  income increased during both periods
primarily due to an increase in service fee income  associated  with  increased
demand account volume.

Non-interest  Expense.  Total  non-interest  expense  increased both periods due
primarily to increases in total  compensation  resulting from the ESOP and other
factors,  including  improvements  to facilities and equipment.  Such increases
were offset somewhat by decreased deposit insurance costs.

Gain on Sale of  Securities.  The  Company  experienced  gains  of  $54,000  and
$104,000 on the sale of  securities  during the three and nine months ended June
30, 1998 compared to gains of $3,000 and $270,000  during the same periods ended
June 30, 1997.  The  decreases  during the nine month period in fiscal 1998 were
due to reduction in the sales by the Company of its equity securities holdings.

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

YEAR 2000

The Bank has a year  2000  committee  that is  addressing  potential  year  2000
("Y2K") issues with its internal an external computer systems. The committee has
assessed the Bank's  automated  systems and has contacted third party vendors to
provide  appropriate  assurances  regarding  their  ability to  address  any Y2K
issues.

Most of the critical  data  processing  of the Bank is provided by a third party
national service bureau. The Bank was selected by and is currently assisting the
service bureau in its internal core system  testing which will continue  through
December  of 1998.  During  this  period the Bank  expects to test its  internal
systems with that of the service bureau for comparability in live environment.

The Bank continues to evaluate  appropriate courses of action and currently does
not  expect  additional  expenses  to have a  material  effect on its  financial
position  and  results of  operations.  However,  factors  outside of the Bank's
control and unexpected service bureau problems,  if any, could impact the Bank's
ability  to  process  data and could have a  significant  adverse  impact on the
financial condition and results of operations of the Bank.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Under  current  Office  of  Thrift  Supervision  ("OTS")  regulations,  the Bank
maintains  certain  levels  of  capital.  On June  30,  1998,  the  Bank  was in
compliance with its three regulatory capital requirements as follows:
 
                                                       Amount           Percent

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

         The Bank's  liquidity  is a measure of its ability to fund  loans,  pay
withdrawals of deposits, and other cash outflows in an efficient, cost effective
manner.   The  Bank's  primary  source  of  funds  are  deposits  and  scheduled
amortization and prepayment of loan and  mortgage-backed  principal.  During the
past several years, the Bank has used such funds primarily to fund maturing time
deposits,  pay savings  withdrawals,  fund  lending  commitments,  purchase  new
investments, and increase liquidity. Historically, the Bank was able to fund its
operations internally but has recently borrowed funds from the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Dallas.  As of June 30, 1998, such borrowed funds totaled $68.6 million.
Loan payments, maturing investments and mortgage-backed security prepayments are
greatly   influenced  by  general  interest  rates,   economic   conditions  and
competition.

         The Bank is required  under  federal  regulations  to maintain  certain
specified  levels of "liquid  investments,"  which include certain United States
government  obligations  and  other  approved  investment.  Current  regulations
require  the Bank to  maintain  liquid  assets  of not  less  than 4% of its net
withdrawable accounts plus short term borrowings. This level may be changed from
time to time by the regulators to reflect current economic conditions.  The Bank
has maintained liquidity in excess of regulatory requirements. Furthermore, from
time to time,  the Bank  utilizes  FHLB  advances  to the  extent  necessary  to
maintain its liquidity.

Impact of Inflation

         The  consolidated  financial  statements of the  Corporation  and notes
thereto, presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP,
which require the  measurement  of financial  position and operating  results in
terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative

                                       10

<PAGE>



purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is
reflected in the increased  cost of the  Corporation's  operations.  Unlike most
industrial  companies,  nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Corporation
are  financial.  As a  result,  interest  rates  have a  greater  impact  on the
Corporation's  performance  than do the effects of general  levels of inflation.
Interest  rates do not  necessarily  move in the same  direction  or to the same
extent as the prices of goods and services.

                                     PART II

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          Neither the  Company nor the Bank was engaged in any legal  proceeding
          of a material  nature at June 30, 1998. From time to time, the Company
          is a party to routine  legal  proceedings  in the  ordinary  course of
          business, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on
          properties  in which the  Company  holds  security  interests,  claims
          involving the making and servicing of real property  loans,  and other
          issues incident to the business of the Company. There were no lawsuits
          pending or known to be  contemplated  against  the Company at June 30,
          1998 that would have a material  effect on the operations or income of
          the Company or the Bank, taken as a whole.

ITEM 2.   CHANGES IN SECURITIES

          Not applicable.

ITEM 3.   DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

          Not applicable.

ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

          Not applicable.

ITEM 5.   OTHER MATERIALLY IMPORTANT EVENTS

          On June 25,  1998,  the  Company  announced  that it adopted a plan to
          repurchase up to 10% or 343,800 shares of the Company's  common stock.
          The  repurchases  are expected to be made in open-market  transactions
          ending  by  June  17,  2000.  The   repurchases  are  subject  to  the
          availability  of stock,  market  conditions,  the trading price of the
