                              TECHE HOLDING COMPANY
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The consolidated  financial  statements as of and for the three and six
         month  periods  ended March 31, 1999 and 1998  include the  accounts of
         Teche  Holding  Company  (the  "Companys")  and its  subsidiary,  Teche
         Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank").  The Company's business is conducted
         principally through the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and
         transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements were prepared in
         accordance  with  instructions  for Form  10-Q and,  therefore,  do not
         include  all  information  necessary  for a  complete  presentation  of
         consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows
         in conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles.  However,
         all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the
         opinion of  management,  are necessary for a fair  presentation  of the
         consolidated  financial  statements have been included.  The results of
         operations  for the period  ended  March 31,  1999 are not  necessarily
         indicative  of the results  which may be expected for the entire fiscal
         year or any other period.  Certain  reclassifications have been made to
         the  1998   financial   statements   in  order   to   conform   to  the
         classifications adopted for reporting in 1999.

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Following is a summary of the  information  used in the  computation of
         basic and diluted  income per common share for the three and six months
         ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.

NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The  Corporation  adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 130
"Reporting  Comprehensive  Income" ("SFAS 130") effective  October 1, 1998. SFAS
130 establishes  standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and
its components. Comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive
income which, in the case of the Corporation, only includes unrealized gains and
losses  on  securities  available-for-sale.   Following  is  a  summary  of  the
Corporation's  comprehensive  income for the six months ended March 31, 1999 and
1998.

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

GENERAL

The Corporation's  total assets at March 31, 1999 and September 30, 1998 totaled
$418.1  million and $408.8  million,  respectively,  an increase $9.3 million or
2.3%.

Securities  available-for-sale  totaled $53.3  million at March 31, 1999,  which
represents  an increase of $16.6  million or 45.0% as compared to September  30,
1998, due to the purchase of securities  during  this  period.  The  Corporation
purchased  such  securities  to  supplement  the decrease in lending  during the
period.

Loans receivable  totaled $337.9 million at March 31, 1999 which  represented an
$10.8 million or 3.1% decrease compared to September 30, 1998. This decrease was
primarily due to loan repayments in excess of originations during the period.

Total  deposits,  after  interest  credited,  at  December  31, 1998 were $299.6
million  which  represents  an increase of $20.3  million or 7.3% as compared to
September 30, 1998.

Advances  decreased  $3.3 million or 4.9% as compared to the amount at September
30, 1998.

On January 8, 1999, the Company  repaid the entire  borrowing from its available
cash  accounts  but  maintained  its line of  credit of $8.0  million,  which is
available  through a third party lender  through  September 30, 1999 for further
common stock repurchases and other limited purposes.

Stockholders'  equity  decreased to $51.2 million at March 31, 1999,  from $52.5
million at September 30, 1998, primarily as a result of stock repurchased during
the quarter and cash  dividends  paid,  offset  somewhat by earnings for the six
month period.  During the six month period, the Corporation  repurchased 179,000
shares at an average price of $14.92 per share.

COMPARISON OF EARNINGS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
AND 1998

Net Income.  The Company had net income of $853,000 and $1,743,000 for the three
and six months  ended  March 31,  1999 as  compared  to net  income of  $996,000
and  $1,909,000  for the three  and six  month  periods  ended  March 31,  1998,
respectively.  The  decreases  during both periods  were due  primarily to lower
gains  on the  sale of  equity  securities  and  expenses  relating  to four new
branches opened in the last eight months.

Total Interest  Income.  Total interest income  decreased by $96,000 or 1.3% and
$216,000  or  1.4%  for  the  three  and  six  months   ended  March  31,  1999,
respectively,  as  compared  to the  same  periods  ending  March  31,  1998 due
primarily to a decrease in the average  balances of loans.  The average yield on
loans  decreased  to 7.81% for the six months ended March 31, 1999 from 7.83% in
1998.

Total Interest  Expense.  Total interest expense decreased 3.9% and 3.6% for the
three  and six  month  periods  primarily  due to a  decrease  of rates  paid on
deposits,  offset  somewhat by an increase in other interest  expense due to the
use of a line of credit to repurchase the Corporation's common stock.

                                        6

Net Interest Income. Net interest income remained relatively stable,  increasing
1.9% and 1.3% for the three  and six  month  periods  ended  March  31,  1999 as
compared to the same periods ended March 31, 1998.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses remained unchanged for
the three month and six month periods.

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

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

Non-interest  Income.  Total non-interest income increased $207,000 and $466,000
for the three and six month  periods  ended March 31, 1999,  primarily due to an
increase in service fee income  associated with increased  demand account volume
and fee income generated from certain  fixed-rate  mortgage loans originated for
sale in the secondary market. The Bank originates long-term fixed rate loans for
sale and for its portfolio.  As part of its effort to manage interest rate risk,
the Bank sells certain loans  originated  with terms of fifteen years or more in
the secondary market.

Non-interest Expense.  Total non-interest expense increased for both periods due
primarily to four branch offices opened in the last eight months.

Gain on Sale of Securities.  The Company experienced gains of $2,000 on the sale
of  securities  during the three and six months ended March 31, 1999 compared to
gains of $44,000 and $55,000  during the same periods ended March 31, 1998.  The
decreases  during both periods in fiscal 1998 were due to reduction in the sales
by the Company of its equity securities holdings.

Income Tax Expense.  Income taxes decreased during the periods  primarily due to
an decrease in income before income taxes.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Under  current  Office  of  Thrift  Supervision  ("OTS")  regulations,  the Bank
maintains  certain  levels  of  capital.  On  March  31,  1999,  the Bank was in
compliance with its three regulatory capital requirements as follows:


                                           Amount        Percent
                                           ------        -------
                                              (In thousands)

                                           ======        =====


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.  The  Bank  also  utilizes
advances  from the  Federal  Home  Loan Bank of Dallas  for its  investment  and
lending  activities.  As of March 31, 1999,  such  borrowed  funds totaled $64.4
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.  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.

Year 2000 Readiness

The "Year 2000" issue is a general  term used to describe  the various  problems
that  may  result  from  improper   processing  of  dates  and  date   sensitive
calculations by computers, software, and other machinery. The problems generally
arise from the fact that most computers and software historically have used only

                                        8

<PAGE>

two digits to identify the year in a date,  often meaning that the computer will
not distinguish dates in the "2000's" from dates in the "1900's".

The following  discussion of the  implications  of the Year 2000 problem for the
Bank, contains numerous forward looking statements based on inherently uncertain
information.  The cost of the  project  and the date on which the Bank  plans to
complete  the  internal  Year  2000  modifications  are  based  on  management's
assumptions of future events  including the continued  availability  of internal
and external resources,  third party  modifications and other factors.  However,
there can be no  guarantee  that these  statements  will be achieved  and actual
results could differ, Moreover,  although management believes it will be able to
make the  necessary  modifications  in advance,  there can be no guarantee  that
failure to modify the systems  would not have a material  adverse  effect on the
Bank.

The Bank places a high degree of reliance on computer  systems of third parties,
such as customers, suppliers, and other financial and governmental institutions.
Although  the Bank is  assessing  the  readiness  of  these  third  parties  and
preparing contingency plans, there can be no guarantee that the failure of these
third  parties to modify their systems in advance of December 31, 1999 would not
have a material adverse effect on the Bank.

The Bank has a Year 2000 committee that is addressing potential Year 2000 issues
with its internal and external software and 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 Year 2000
issues.

Most of the critical  data  processing  of the Bank is provided by a third party
national service bureau. This service bureau began renovations to their software
applications  in the early 1990's to address Year 2000 issues.  The Bank and its
service bureau completed internal core system testing in December 1998. The Bank
is currently testing its internal systems compatibility with that of the service
bureau in live data tests.

Total cost associated  with required  modifications  to existing  systems is not
expected to be material to the Corporation's  financial position.  No additional
outside  personnel  is  expected to be needed to resolve any Year 2000 issues at
this time.  The current  estimated  costs to replace some  hardware and software
systems  is  approximately  $210,000,  some of  which  will be  capitalized  and
depreciated over  approximately  three years. The Bank does not separately track
the internal  costs  incurred  for the Year 2000 project  because such costs are
principally the related payroll costs.

The Bank has  contacted all material  customers,  vendors,  and  non-information
technology  suppliers  (i.e.  utility  systems,  telephone  systems and security
systems)  regarding  their  Year  2000  state  of  readiness.  Testing  has been
completed on the most significant vendor  applications,  except the utilities as
noted below, however, final testing remains on a few critical applications. This
final testing, and development of contingency plans, is expected to be completed
for all critical and important  applications and services by June 30, 1999. Most
of the items  identified  as minor are  services  that are  performed by outside
vendors.  Appropriate  testing,  if possible,  and any related contingency plans
would be performed in the second and third quarter of calendar 1999.

We are unable to test the Year 2000  readiness of our  significant  suppliers of
utilities.  We are  relying  on the  utility  companies'  internal  testing  and
representations  to provide the required  services  that drive our data systems.
However,  the bank will be  installing a generator at a central  location  which
should  provide  electric  power  in the  event  any  local  electric  utilities
experience problems.

As a practical matter, mortgage, consumer and commercial loan customers were not
contacted  regarding their Year 2000  readiness.  It was deemed to be beyond the
scope of our testing  parameters to contact these  borrowers.  Further,  most of
these are individuals with adequate collateral for their loans.

The most likely worst case Year 2000 scenario is that data  processing  would be
temporarily  interrupted  (as much as 2 to 3 days) which would increase the time
necessary  to  service  customers  and may  prevent  some  customers  from being
serviced  until the problem is corrected.  The Bank believes that  completed and
planned  modifications to its internal systems will allow it to be ready for the
Year 2000. However, factors outside of the Bank's control and unexpected service
bureau and other third party problems could impact the Bank's ability to process
data which could have a significant  adverse  impact on the financial  condition
and results of operations of the Bank.

In the event that the Year 2000 problems affect daily operations,  the Year 2000
committee  is  preparing  daily  operating  procedures  that should  allow us to
provide most of our services.  These  procedures will be provided to each branch
and will be tested during 1999.

Despite the best efforts of management to address this issue, the vast number of
external entities that have direct and indirect business  relationships with the
Bank, such as customers,  vendors, payment systems providers and other financial
institutions, makes it impossible to assure that a failure to achieve compliance
by one or more of these entities would not have a material adverse impact on the
operations of the Bank.

Impact of Inflation

         The consolidated financial statements of the Company 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  Company's  operations.  Unlike  most  industrial
companies,  nearly all the assets and  liabilities of the Company are financial.
As a result,  interest rates have a greater impact on the Company'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.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material  changes from the information  regarding market risk
disclosed   under  the  heading   "Asset  and  Liability   Management"   in  the
Corporation's Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 1998. 

During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Bank  purchased  $24.8 million
of  securities  available for sale with an average yield of 6.33% and an average
life of 4.6  years.  Further,  the Bank paid a  dividend  to the  Company in the
amount of $17.0 million in January  1999,  which reduced its capital and its net
portfolio value ("NPV") by approximately 33%.
