                              TECHE HOLDING COMPANY
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The  consolidated  financial  statements  as of and for the three month
         period ended  December  31, 1997 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 period ended  December 31, 1997 are not  necessarily
         indicative  of the results  which may be expected for the entire fiscal
         year or any other period.

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

         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  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 quarter  ended  December 31,
         1997, and required  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 months ended December 31,
         1997 and 1996.

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

GENERAL

The  Corporation's  total  assets at December  31, 1997 and  September  30, 1997
totaled  $408.6  million and $404.1  million,  respectively,  an  increase  $4.5
million or 1.1%.

Securities  available-for-sale totaled $40.6 million at December 31, 1997, which
represents  an increase of $2.7  million or 7.2% as  compared to  September  30,
1997.

Loans  receivable  remained  relatively  stable,  totalling  $349.6  million  at
December 31, 1997.

Total  deposits,  after  interest  credited,  at  December  31, 1997 were $278.2
million  which  represents  an decrease  of $2.1  million or .70% as compared to
September 30, 1997.

Advances  increased  $6.5  million or 10.0% due to the  purchase  of  securities
coupled with a reduction in deposits.

Stockholders' equity increased to $55.3 million at December 31, 1997, from $54.4
million  at  September  30,  1997,  primarily  as a result of  earnings  for the
quarter.



COMPARISON OF EARNINGS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND
1996

Net Income.  The  Corporation  had net income of $913,000  for the three  months
ended  December  31, 1997 as  compared  to net income of $883,000  for the three
month  period  ended  December  31,  1996.  Earnings  for the three months ended
December  31,  1997  represent  an increase  of $30,000  compared to 1996.  This
increase was primarily due to increased fee income which was offset  somewhat by
increases in expenses.

Total Interest  Income.  Total interest income  increased by $234,000 or 3.2% to
$7.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 1997, from $7.3 million for
the three  months ended  December  31, 1996 due  primarily to an increase in the
average  balances  of the loans  offset  somewhat  by a decrease  in the average
balance  of the  securities  portfolios.  Interest  income  on  loans  increased
$366,000 or 5.7% to $6.8  million for the period  ended  December  31, 1997 from
$6.4 million for the period ended  December 31, 1996. The average yield on loans
decreased to 7.79% for the three  months ended  December 31, 1997 from 7.93% for
the same period in 1996, and the average yield on investment and mortgage-backed
securities decreased to 6.57% for December 1997 from 6.98% for 1996.

Total  Interest  Expense.  Total interest  expense  increased to $4.3 million at
December 31, 1997 from $4.1 million for the December 1996 period,  due primarily
to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income remained relatively stable,  increasing
$28,000 for the three month  period  ended  December 31, 1997 as compared to the
same period ended December 31, 1996.


                                        5

Provision for Loan Losses.  The  provision for loan losses  decreased to $45,000
for the three month period ended  December 31, 1997,  as compared to $60,000 for
the same period ended December 31, 1996.

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

Management's  judgment as to the level of losses on existing  loans involves the
consideration of current and anticipated economic conditions and their potential
effects on specific borrowers, an evaluation of the existing relationships among
loans,  known and inherent  risks in the loan portfolio and the present level of
the  allowance,  results of  examination  of the loan  portfolio  by  regulatory
agencies and management's internal review of the loan portfolio.  In determining
the collectibility of certain loans, management also considers the fair value of
any underlying collateral.
   
Non-interest  Income.  Total  non-interest  income  increased  by ^$289,000 from
$547,000 in the three month  period  ended  December 31, 1996 to $836,000 in the
three month period ended  December 31, 1997.  This  increase is due primarily to
the increase of service fee income  associated  with  increased  demand  account
volume.
    
Non-interest Expense.  Total non-interest expense increased by $268,000 over the
periods  compared.  This increase can be mainly attributed to increases in total
compensation  resulting from the ESOP and other factors, and increased occupancy
expenses.

Gain on Sale of Securities. The Company experienced a $4,000 gain on the sale of
securities during the three months ended December 31, 1997 compared to a gain of
$3,000 during the same period ended December 31, 1996.

Income Tax Expense.  Income taxes increased from $455,000 in 1996 to $491,000 in
1997 primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes.

         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 December 31, 1997,  such  borrowed  funds  totaled  $71.9
million.  Loan  payments,  maturing  investments  and  mortgage-backed  security
prepayments  are  greatly   influenced  by  general  interest  rates,   economic
conditions and competition.

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

Impact of Inflation

         The  consolidated  financial  statements of the  Corporation  and notes
thereto, presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP,
which require the  measurement  of financial  position and operating  results in
terms of  historical  dollars  without  considering  the change in the  relative
purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is
reflected in the increased  cost of the  Corporation's  operations.  Unlike most
industrial  companies,  nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Corporation
are  financial.  As a  result,  interest  rates  have a  greater  impact  on the
Corporation's  performance  than do the effects of general  levels of inflation.
Interest  rates do not  necessarily  move in the same  direction  or to the same
extent as the prices of goods and services.
