PART I
Item 1. Business
General -
Teche Bancshares, Inc. (Company) was organized during 1984 for
the purpose of operating as a one bank holding company. As a
result, Teche Bank and Trust Company (Bank) was acquired by Teche
Bancshares, Inc. in a business combination accounted for as a
pooling of interests. Teche Bancshares, Inc.'s sole source of
income is derived from the earnings and dividends of its
subsidiary, Teche Bank & Trust Company.
Teche Bank and Trust Company is a Louisiana chartered state
bank engaged in the general banking business since September 27,
1969. The Bank's main office is located in the primary business
district of St. Martinville, Louisiana. The Bank has two branches.
One is located on the north side of town on the main thoroughfare.
The other branch is in Coteau, Louisiana. The population of both
areas is largely rural and the economy is based on agriculture,
textiles and tourism.
The City of St. Martinville is located in the south central
part of Louisiana. The Bank's primary market area, the City of St.
Martinville, had a population of 7,965 in 1990. Its general market
area, St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, had a population of 40,214 and
has not experienced substantial population growth over the past
several years.
The community of Coteau is located twelve miles south of St.
Martinville in Iberia Parish. The primary market area of the
Coteau Branch is the six mile circular radius from the branch that
is within Iberia Parish. The population of the primary market area
is approximately 6,450 people. There are no banks or branches of
other financial institutions located within the primary market
area.
Competition -
There are two other banks and one savings and loan in the
Bank's primary market area. Competition for loans and deposits is
intense among the financial institutions in the area.
In the Bank's general market area there are five other banks
and two domestic savings and loan institutions aggressively
pursuing loans, deposits and other accounts. Below is a list of
banks and savings institutions having offices in St. Martin Parish
with their total deposits as of December 31, 1997:
Bank Thousands of Dollars
Farmers-Merchants Bank and Trust $ 96,891
First Louisiana National Bank 46,286
Iberia Bank 12,480
MidSouth National Bank 51,749
St. Martin Bank and Trust 59,653
Teche Bank and Trust Co. 33,721
Teche Federal Savings Bank 23,920
Total parish bank deposits $324,700
========
Regulation -
As a bank holding company, Teche Bancshares, Inc. is subject to
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"). The
Act subjects Teche Bancshares, Inc. to supervision and regulation
by the Federal Reserve Board, which includes periodic examinations
and the obligation of Teche Bancshares, Inc. to file semi-annual
and annual reports with the Federal Reserve Board. The Act
requires prior approval by the Federal Reserve Board for
acquisitions of more than 5 percent of the voting shares or
substantially all of the assets of any bank or bank holding
company. The Act prohibits Teche Bancshares, Inc. from engaging in
any business other than banking or bank-related activities
specifically allowed by the Federal Reserve Board. The Act also
prohibits Teche Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary from engaging
in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with the extension of
credit, the lease or sale of property or the provision of any
services. Under Title VI of the Financial Institutions, Reform,
Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, the Act has been amended to
authorize bank holding companies to acquire savings and thrift
institutions without tandem operations restrictions. Teche
Bancshares, Inc.'s one banking subsidiary ("The Bank") is subject
to a variety of regulations concerning the maintenance of reserves
against deposits, limitations on the rates that can be charged on
loans or paid on deposits, branching, restrictions on the nature
and amounts of loans and investments that can be made and limits on
daylight overdrafts. The Bank is regulated by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation.
The Bank is limited in the amount of dividends they may
declare. Prior approval must be obtained from the appropriate
regulatory authorities before dividends can be paid by the Bank to
Teche Bancshares, Inc. if the amount of adjusted capital, surplus
and retained earnings is below defined regulatory limits. The Bank
is also restricted from extending credit or making loans to or
investments in Teche Bancshares, Inc. and certain other affiliates
as defined in the Federal Reserve Act. Furthermore, loans and
extensions of credit are subject to certain other collateral
requirements.
The Federal Reserve Board has established guidelines with
respect to the maintenance of appropriate levels of capital by
registered bank holding companies and banks.
"Primary capital" for this purpose includes common stock,
surplus, undivided profits, contingency and other capital reserves,
and the allowance for loan losses. "Total capital" consists of
primary capital plus secondary capital, which includes certain
limited-life preferred stock and long-term debt that meets certain
maturity and preference ranking criteria.
In January, 1989, the Federal Reserve Board issued risk-based
capital guidelines to assist in the assessment of the capital
adequacy of bank holding companies and banks. These guidelines
include a new definition of capital and a framework for calculating
risk-weighted assets by assigning assets and off-balance sheet
items to broad risk categories. The risk-based capital guidelines
also establish a schedule for achieving the minimum supervisory
standards and provide for transitional arrangements during a
phase-in-period (beginning year end 1990) to facilitate adoption
and implementation of the measure at the end of 1997.
The table below indicates the Bank's capital measures at
December 31, 1997. The bank meets the risk-based capital
guidelines at December 31, 1997 as follows:
Regulatory Bank's
Requirement Capital
Risk-based capital ratios:
Tier 1 4.0% 18.4%

Changes in Interest Income and Expenses -
The following table shows, for the periods indicated, the
change in interest income and interest expense for each major
component of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities attributable to (i) changes in volume (change in volume
multiplied by old rate), (ii) changes in rates (change in rate
multiplied by old volume) and (iii) changes in rate/volume (change
in rate multiplied by the change in volume). The change in
interest income or expense attributable to the combination of rate
variance and volume variance is included in the table, but such
amount has also been allocated between, and included in the amounts
shown as, changes due to rate and changes due to volume. The
allocation of the change due to rate/volume variance was made in
proportion to the amounts due solely to rate variance and solely to
volume variance, which amounts are not included in the table.
Balances of non-accrual loans and related income recognized have
been included for computational purposes. Yields of tax exempt
securities have not been computed on a tax equivalent basis.

Interest Sensitivity -
The Company's policy for interest-rate sensitivity management
is to control the exposure of net interest income to interest rate
movements. The relationship or gap between repricing dates of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities must be
actively monitored and flexible enough to take advantage of
changes in market rates. The Company follows such a policy and
responds to market change by adjusting the structure of the assets
and liabilities repricing within comparable time intervals. This
enables the Company to respond to the volatility of interest rates,
and thereby capitalize on profit opportunities while minimizing
adverse changes in earnings.
The following table reflects the year-end position (in
thousands) of the Company's interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities which can either reprice or mature
within the designated time periods. The interest sensitivity gaps
can vary day-to-day and are not necessarily a reflection of the
future. In addition, certain assets and liabilities within the
same designated time period may nonetheless reprice at different
times and at different levels.

The Bank's policy is to place loans on non-accrual whenever
it appears that interest will not be collected. Management's list
of potential problem loans indicated a principal balance of
$230,951 as of December 31, 1997.
At December 31, 1997, management believes that potential
problem loans with credit problems have been adequately reserved
for in the allowance for loan loss accounts.
The Bank has taken an aggressive approach to consumer
lending yet management is still very conservative in making credit
decisions. Management feels that by increasing the Bank's consumer
loan base, it can spread risk in the loan portfolio and increase
loan demand and profit margin at the same time.

In determining the adjustments charged in operations,
management considered the overall risk of loan losses in its loan
portfolio, as well as considering the potential losses that might
be incurred on specific loans.
Management does not allocate its allowance for loan loss by
asset category; however, in determining the balance of the
allowance for loan loss account, management considers the various
risks inherent with the Bank's loan portfolio, as well as specific
risk of certain loans. The allowance for loans losses is
established through a provision for loan losses charged to
expenses. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses
when management believes that the collectibility of the principal
is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes
will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans
that may become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the
collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience. The
evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the
nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio
quality, review of specific problems loans and current economic
conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay.
Management approximates that the amount of charge-offs during
the next full year of operation will be as follows:

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related
Stockholder Matters
Teche Bancshares, Inc.'s stock is not listed on any security
exchange, and is not registered with the National Association of
Security Dealers. Due to the lack of an active trading market, the
Company does not have available information to furnish the high and
low sales price on the range of bid and asked quotations for
its stock. However, based upon stock sales during the fourth
quarter of 1997, it is believed that the stock of the Company
trades for approximately $70.00 per share. There can be no
assurance that the limited inquiries adequately reflect the high
and low bids on prices for the Holding Company's stock.
At December 31, 1997, Teche Bancshares, Inc. had approximately
386 stock-holders.
Teche Bancshares, Inc. paid a dividend of $1.50 per share in
1997. In 1996, the bank paid $1.35 per share. In 1995, the bank
paid $1.25 per share. Future dividends paid by the Holding Company
will depend upon the Bank's ability to pay dividends, which is
restricted by applicable federal and state statutes.
Teche Bank & Trust Company is a Louisiana state banking
corporation. Applicable Louisiana law prohibits a state bank from
paying a dividend if its surplus remaining after payment of the
dividend would be less than half the aggregate par value of its
outstanding stock. In addition, a state bank is required
to obtain the prior approval of the Louisiana Commissioner of
Financial Institutions before declaring or paying a dividend in a
given year if the total of all dividends declared and paid by the
state bank during the year would exceed the total of its
net profit for that year combined with the net profit from the
immediately preceding year.

1997 IN REVIEW
Our net income for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995 was $362,550, $325,387 and $337,024, respectively. Net income
increased $37,163 in 1997 from $325,387 for the year ended 1996.
Net income for 1996 decreased $11,637 from $337,024 in 1995.
Earnings per common share were $12.98 for 1997, $11.65 for 1996,
and $12.07 for 1995. Return on average assets and return on equity
was 1.0% and 11.9% for 1997. Return on average assets and return
on equity was 1.0% and 12.1% for 1996. For 1995, return on average
assets was 1.0% and return on equity was 15.4%.
Highlights for 1997 were as follows:
1. For the year ended 1997, we increased our average total assets
by 10.8%. Total loans at the end of 1997 were up 7.8% as compared
to the end of the year in 1996. This positive trend marks the
sixth consecutive year of asset growth for Teche Bank.
2. For the year ended 1997, we increased our net income 11.4% over
that of 1996.
3. We increased our dividend to stockholders 11% over the dividend
paid in the prior year.
4. After two years of operations, our Coteau office continues to
be a thriving source of growth and profitability for the bank. We
have exceeded our projections and expectations for this office and
are excited about the future of this location.
EARNINGS ANALYSIS
Net Interest income
Net interest income was $1,466,454 in 1997, compared to $1,309,536
in 1996. This change represents an increase of $156,918 over the
previous year. We were able to increase our net interest income
for the year ended 1997 because of growth in the bank's total loans
and investments. Over the past two years, we have begun to
experience growth in the bank's total loans and assets.
Net interest income was $1,309,536, compared to $1,287,894 in 1995,
an increase of $21,642 over the previous year. We were able to
increase our net interest income for the year ended 1996 as the
result of growth in the bank's total loans.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is the amount charged against current
earnings which management believes is necessary to maintain the
allowance at an adequate level at the time the charge is taken,
considering the watch list trends, net charge-off experience, size
of the loan portfolio and general economic conditions and trends.
During 1997, we added $9,999 to our reserve for loan losses.
During 1996, and 1995 we maintained our reserve for loan loss
account at a level that was adequate without making any additions
to the provision account. The allowance for loan losses at
December 1997 was $171,354 or 1.23% of gross loans.
Other Income
Other income was $321,136 for 1997 as compared to $314,406 in 1996.
The majority of the change in other income was due to an increase
in commissions on credit life insurance.
Other income was $314,406 for 1996 as compared to $322,247 in 1995.
The majority of the decrease in other income was due to a
nonrecurring recovery in 1995 of $39,753 on a loss from the sale of
Louisiana Agricultural Finance (LAFA) Bonds. Excluding the one
time income received in 1995, other income for the year ended 1996
was higher than that of the previous year.
Other Expenses
Other expenses were $1,268,905 for 1997 compared to $1,160,908 in
1996. The increase in other expenses was the result of increases
in salaries and employee benefits and other operating expenses.
Salaries and benefits expense increased due to compensation
increases made at the end of 1996. Other operating expenses
increased due to increases in directors fees, correspondent bank
charges and a provision to charge down other real estate owned.
Other expenses were $1,160,908 for 1996 compared to $1,122,806 in
1995. The increase in other expenses was the result of increases
in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense, and furniture
and fixtures expenses. The increase in salaries and employee
benefits was due to an increase in the compensation of our
employees and the addition of two new Coteau Branch employees for
a full year in 1996. The increase in occupancy expenses and
furniture and fixtures was due primarily to the expenses of
operating the Coteau Branch for an entire year.
FINANCIAL CONDITION ANALYSIS
Investments
During the first quarter of 1994 the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS 115). This
pronouncement provides guidance regarding the appropriate
classification of debt and equity securities in a company's balance
sheet and also provides for the recognition of unrealized holding
gains and losses as a result of changes in the fair value of
securities available for sale. The carrying value of securities
held to maturity continues to be amortized cost. Securities
available for sale are now carried at their estimated fair value in
accordance with SFAS 115.
The carrying value of securities available for sale at the end of
1997 was adjusted upward by $178,374 to reflect an increase in
market value over their amortized cost at that date. Securities
held to maturity had a market value in excess of carrying
value of $21,410 at year end. Management considers the increase in
value of the securities portfolio to be temporary in nature.
The carrying value of securities available for sale at the end of
1996 was adjusted upward by $66,421 to reflect an increase in
market value over their amortized cost at that date. Securities
held to maturity had a market value in excess of carrying
value of $1,282 at year end. Management considers the increase in
value of the securities portfolio to be temporary in nature.
Loans
At December 31, 1997, loans, net of allowance for loan losses and
unearned discount, were $13,706,864. This was an increase of
$997,962 over $12,708,902 at the end of 1996. Average loans during
the year 1997 were $13,364,950, up approximately $2,096,344 from
1996.
Loans, net of allowance for loan losses and unearned discount, were
$12,708,902 at December 31, 1996. Net loans increased by
$1,936,002 from $10,772,900 at the end of 1995. Average loans
during the year 1996 were $11,268,606 up approximately $466,408
from 1995.
Deposits
At December 31, 1997 total deposits were $33,720,628, an increase
of $1,345,085 over that of the prior year end balance. Average
deposits for the year ended 1997 were $33,537,170 as compared to
$30,418,843 in 1996. Average deposits are up due to the growth of
the Coteau Branch, and growth attributed to the offering of our
ATM's, voice line and Saturday Banking Services. We did not have
as much public funds deposits this year as we had in the prior
year.
At December 31, 1996 total deposits were $32,375,543, an increase
of $1,859,740 over 1995. Average deposits for the year ended 1996
were $30,418,843 as compared to $27,859,434 in 1995. The increase
in deposits at year end was due to having the public fund deposits
of the St. Martin Parish Sheriff's Department property tax
collections. These funds were distributed to the various public
bodies during the first quarter of 1997. Average deposits are up
due to the growth of the Coteau Branch, and growth attributed to
the offering of our ATM's, Voice line and Saturday Banking
services.
Time deposits of $100,000 and greater were $7,787,730 at the end of
1997, an increase of $726,138 over that of the prior year. The
increase was due to increases in Public Funds from bids won during
the year and from general growth in deposits. We bid aggressively
to get Public Funds when we can earn a spread on these incremental
funds. We continue to hold $1,000,000 in jumbo certificates from
the State of Louisiana that were added in 1994. Rates on these
funds are still attractive compared to alternatives for funding.
Time deposits of $100,000 and greater were $7,061,592 at the end of
1996, an increase of $1,806,921 over that of the prior year. The
increase was due to increases in Public Funds from bids won during
the year.
Asset/Liability Management
The objective of asset/liability management is to maximize net
interest income while balancing liquidity and capital needs and
minimizing interest rate risk. The Asset/Liability Committee
(ALCO) develops and reviews strategies which assist in the
achievement of the Bank's goals. Strategies may include purchases
and sales of securities to alter maturities and yields, and changes
in the mix of earning assets and funding sources.
Changes in interest rates create interest rate risk. Interest rate
risk is measured each month by using a static gap analysis. Based
on the results of this model the ALCO committee determines the
appropriate strategies and goals to follow.
Liquidity is needed to meet the cash requirements for deposit
withdrawals and the funding of loans. A stable base of funding
sources and an adequate level of assets readily convertible into
cash provide liquidity. In order to maintain adequate
liquidity, management attempts to ladder the maturities and cash
flows of its investment portfolio so that cash flows will be
available each year to reinvest or to meet the liquidity demands of
the bank.
Credit Risk Management
Teche Bancshares, Inc. manages its credit risk by maintaining high
credit underwriting standards and providing an adequate allowance
for loan losses. We concentrate our lending to areas within our
geographic market in order to keep the cost of managing assets low
and in order to be informed of developments affecting our credits.
Our credit underwriting standards emphasize cash flow and repayment
ability and ensure that loans are properly structured and
collateralized. An adequate allowance for loan losses provides for
losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned are included in
nonperforming assets. As of December 31, 1997, nonperforming
assets were $254,709, a decrease of $39,353 from 1996. As of
December 31, 1996, nonperforming assets were $294,062, a decrease
of $56,851 from 1995. Nonaccrual loans at December 31, 1997, 1996
and 1995 were $24,988, $238,843, and $238,294, respectively. Other
real estate owned was $229,721, $55,219, and $112,619 at December
31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.
Watch List
The Bank's watch list includes loans which, for management
purposes, have been identified as requiring a higher level of
monitoring. These loans require monitoring due to conditions
which, if not corrected, could increase credit risk. Watch list
loans totaled $230,951 and $507,869 at December 31, 1997 and 1996.
Capital and Dividends
The Company's risk based capital ratios at December 31, 1997
significantly exceeded the minimum regulatory guidelines. The
Company's leverage ratio was 8.41% and risk based capital was
19.41%, well above the regulatory minimums of 3%-5% and 8%. The
Company's capital to asset ratio including the effect on capital of
mark to market changes in value of investments was 8.69% at
December 31, 1997. Teche Bancshares, Inc.'s sole source of funds
from which to pay dividends to stockholders is Teche Bank & Trust
Company. During 1997 Teche Bank & Trust Company declared and paid
a dividend to Teche Bancshares, Inc. of $41,887 which was paid to
stockholders in the form of a dividend.
Fourth Quarter Results
Net income for the fourth quarter of 1997, 1996, and 1995, was
$83,933, $101,262, and $96,781, respectively. The decrease in
income for the quarter was mostly due to the Other Real Estate
devaluation adjustment of $20,549 made in the last quarter of 1997.
Income before income tax for the quarter ended December 31, 1997
was $114,452 as compared to $130,703 for the same quarter ended
1996.
Year 2000 Preparation
Teche Bancshares, Inc. relies on automation to manage information.
Since the earliest days of electronic computers, programmers have
used two digits to represent the year in date fields (YYMMDD). In
the 1960s when this convention became standard, the two-digit
representation made economic sense because it economized computer
memory and saved storage space. The Year 2000 problem exists
because a two-digit representation of the year will be interpreted
in many applications to mean the year 1900, not 2000, unless the
date or program logic is modified. Without modification, many date
sensitive software applications will provide illogical or erroneous
data.
We have inventoried our software, hardware and environmental
systems. We have identified those products that will need
modification in our business. We do not anticipate that the
modifications that we will be required to make to be functional in
the year 2000 will be material to the financial statements or
operations of Teche Bancshares, Inc.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The Board of Directors
Teche Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary
St. Martinville, Louisiana
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Teche Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1997 and
1996, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Bank'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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining on a test basis evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes 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, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Teche Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our audits were made primarily to form an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements, as stated in the preceding
paragraph. The supplementary information contained on pages 28-33
is presented for purposes of additional analysis and, although not
required for a fair presentation of consolidated financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows, was subjected to
the audit procedures applied in the audits of the basic
consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
supplementary information is fairly presented in all material
respects in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements
taken as a whole.

TECHE BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
dated December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, include the
accounts of Teche Bancshares, Inc. (Company) and Teche
Bank and Trust Company (Bank), its wholly-owned
subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated in consolidation.
B. Nature of Operations
Teche Bank and Trust Company is a Louisiana
chartered state bank engaged in the general banking
business since September 27, 1969. The Bank's main
office is located in the primary business district of St.
Martinville, Louisiana. The Bank also has two branches.
One is located on the north side of town on the main
thoroughfare. The other branch is located in Coteau,
Louisiana, which is in Iberia Parish. This branch was
opened in 1995. The population of both areas is largely
rural and the economy is based on agriculture, textiles
and tourism.
The City of St. Martinville and the Town of Coteau are
both located in the south central part of Louisiana. The
Bank's primary market area is the City of St. Martinville
and its general market area is St. Martin Parish,
Louisiana.
C. Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and in conformity with practices within the
banking industry.
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the
Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents. Cash, cash equivalents and due from
banks at December 31 included the following:
1997 1996 1995
Cash and due
from banks $1,633 $1,476 $1,108
========== ========== ==========
E. Investment Securities
The Bank's investments in securities are classified
in three categories and accounted for as follows:
Trading Securities -
Government Bonds held principally for resale in the
near term and mortgage-backed securities held for sale in
conjunction with the Bank's mortgage banking activities
are classified as trading securities and recorded at
their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses on
trading securities are included in other income.
Securities Available for Sale -
Securities available for sale consist of bonds,
notes, debentures and certain equity securities not
classified as trading securities nor as securities to be
held to maturity.
Securities to be Held to Maturity -
Bonds, notes and debentures for which the Bank has
the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums
and accretion of discounts which are recognized in
interest income using the interest method over the period
to maturity.
At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Bank did not own
any trading securities.
Declines in the fair value of individual
held-to-maturity securities below their costs that are
other than temporary result in write-downs of the
individual securities to their fair value. The related
write-downs will be included in earnings as realized
losses.
Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on
securities available for sale are reported as a net
amount in a separate component of shareholders' equity
until realized.
Gains and losses on the sale of securities available
for sale are determined using the specific-identification
method.
F. Loans, Allowance for Loan Losses and Interest Income
Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal
reduced by unearned discount and an allowance for loan
losses. Unearned discount on installment loans is
recognized as income over the terms of the loans by the
sum-of-months digits method which approximates the
interest method. Interest on other loans is calculated
and accrued by using the simple interest method on daily
balances of the principal amount outstanding.
The allowance for loan losses is established through
a provision for loan losses charged to expenses. Loans
are charged against the allowance for loan losses when
management believes that the collectibility of the
principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that
management believes will be adequate to absorb possible
losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible,
based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and
prior loan loss experience. The evaluations take into
consideration such factors as changes in the nature and
volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality,
review of specific problem loans and current economic
conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay.
Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when
management believes, after considering economic and
business conditions and collection efforts, that the
borrowers' financial condition is such that collection of
interest is doubtful.
G. Loan Origination Fees and Costs
The Bank charges minimal loan fees and direct
origination costs. These charges are recognized as
income at the time the loan is made.
H. Bank Premises, Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment
Bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment are
carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.
For book purposes, depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets which range from three to thirty-three years.
For income tax purposes, depreciation of assets acquired
prior to January 1, 1981, is calculated on the
straight-line method and depreciation of assets acquired
after December 31, 1980, is calculated using the
Accelerated Cost Recovery (ACRS) or Modified Accelerated
Cost Recovery (MACRS) System of the Internal Revenue
Service. Maintenance and repairs which do not extend
the life of banking premises and equipment are charged to
operating expenses.
I. Other Real Estate Owned
Assets acquired through the default of loans are
recorded at the lower of the outstanding loan amounts
plus accrued interest or fair market value of the assets
acquired. Reductions from outstanding loan amounts to
fair market value are charged against the reserve for
possible loan losses. Subsequent valuation reductions,
if any, are charged to operating expenses.
J. Income Taxes
Provisions for income taxes are based on amounts
reported in the statements of income (after exclusion of
non-taxable income such as interest on state and
municipal securities) and include deferred taxes on
temporary differences in the recognition of income and
expense for tax and financial statement purposes.
Deferred taxes are computed as prescribed in Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes.
K. Post-Retirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits
The Bank does not pay the costs of providing
continuing health care and life insurance benefits for
its retired employees. Those benefits for retirees are
made available and are provided through an insurance
company whose monthly premiums are paid by the retired
employee.
L. Compensated Absences
Employees of the bank are entitled to paid vacation
depending upon length of service. Vacation must be taken
in the year accrued and cannot be carried over. Sick
leave accumulates on a monthly basis according to the
years of service and is available for employees when
needed. However, it does not vest nor is it payable at
termination of employment. The bank's policy is to
recognize the costs of compensated absences when actually
paid to employees.
M. Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business the Company has
entered into off balance sheet financial instruments
consisting of commitments to extend credit, commercial
letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such
financial instruments are recorded in the financial
statements when they become payable.
The following methods and assumptions were used by
the Bank in estimating fair values of financial
instruments as disclosed herein:
Cash and cash equivalents -- The carrying amount of
cash and short-term instruments approximate their
fair value.
Securities to be held to maturity and securities
available for sale -- Fair values for investment
securities are based on quoted market prices.
Loans receivable -- Fair values for variable and
fixed rate loans are estimated using discounted cash
flow analyses, using interest rates currently being
offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of
similar credit quality.
Deposit liabilities -- The fair values disclosed for
demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the
amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that
is, their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts
of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts
and certificates of deposit approximate their fair
values at the reporting date. Fair values for
fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated
using a discounted cash flow calculation that
applies interest rates currently being offered on
certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected
monthly maturities on time deposits.
Accrued interest -- The carrying amounts of accrued
interest approximate their fair values.
Off-balance-sheet instruments -- Fair values for
off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on
fees currently charged to enter into similar
agreements, taking into account the remaining terms
of the agreements and the counterparties' credit
standing.

Loans, net $13,707 $12,709
======= =======
Concentrations of credit risk arising from financial
instruments exist in relation to certain groups of customers.
A group concentration arises when a number of counterparties
have similar economic characteristics that would cause their
ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly
affected by changes in economic or other conditions. The Bank
does not have a significant exposure to any individual
customer or counterparty. A geographic concentration arises
because the Bank operates primarily in the south central part
of Louisiana.
The amount of credit risk (which approximates carrying
value) represents the maximum accounting loss that would be
recognized at the reporting date if counterparties failed
completely to perform as contracted and any collateral or
security proved to be of no value. The bank has experienced
little difficulty in accessing collateral (described in Note
17) when required.
Loans on which the accrual of interest has been
discontinued or reduced amounted to $24,988 and $238,843 at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. If interest on those
loans had been accrued, such income would have approximated
$2,250, $24,801 and $4,964 for 1997, 1996 and 1994
respectively. The Bank did not recognize any interest income
on nonaccrual loans during 1996.
Impairment of a loan having a recorded investment of
$ -0- and $215,987 at December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996
has been recognized in conformity with Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 114, as amended by FASB
Statement No. 118. In 1997, this loan was foreclosed on and
is now reflected in other real estate owned. There was no
allowance for loan losses as it related to this loan at
December 31, 1996.
Changes in the allowance for loan losses are as follows:
(in thousands)
1997 1996 1995

losses account at December 31, 1997 is sufficient to cover any
possible loan losses.

(6) Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned consists of real estate acquired
through the foreclosure of loans. It is valued at the lower
of its fair value or recorded investment in the related loan
at the date of foreclosure. Other real estate owned at
December 31, 1997 and 1996 is composed of the following:

Members of the board of directors had $2,800,673 of
deposits at December 31, 1997.
(8) Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
A. The consolidated financial statements do not reflect
various commitments and contingent liabilities which
arise in the normal course of business and which involve
elements of credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity
risk. These commitments and contingent liabilities are
described in Note 15 - Financial Instruments.
B. The Bank is not involved in any legal actions arising
from normal business activities.
(9) Concentration of Credit
All of the Bank's loans, commitments, and standby letters
of credit have been granted to customers in the Bank's market
area as described in Note 1, Item B. The concentration of
credit by type of loan is set forth in Note 4. Investments in
state and municipal securities also involve governmental
entities within the Bank's market area. The Bank, as a matter
of policy, does not extend credit to any single borrower or
group of related borrowers in excess of $697,000.
(10) Income Taxes
The Bank utilizes FASB Statement 109 to account for
income taxes.
The components of income tax expense for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:
(in thousands)
1997 1996 1995
Income taxes currently payable:
Federal $ 171 $(128) $(102)
Deferred tax asset (liability) due
to timing differences (15) (10) (48)
----- ---- -----
Total income tax benefit
(expense) $ 156 $(138) $(150)
===== ===== =====
The effective tax rate of 30.2 percent in 1997, 29.7
percent in 1996, and 30.8 percent in 1995 differ from the
statutory rate of 34 percent principally because of the
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and temporary
differences giving rise to deferred taxes.
A reconciliation of income tax expense at the statutory
rate to the effective rate follows:
Percent of Earnings
Before Taxes
1997 1996 1995
Computed at the expected statutory
rate 34.0% 34.0% 34.0%
Temporary differences giving rise
to deferred tax amounts (2.8) 2.1 9.8
Temporary difference recognized
this year - (10.1) (12.2)
Other (1.0) 3.7 (.8)
----- ----- -----
Income tax expense-effective rate 30.2% 29.7% 30.8%
===== ===== =====
Temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax
amounts consist primarily of the excess of allowance for loan
losses for tax purposes over the amount for financial
reporting purposes, write-downs in carrying value of certain
assets for financial reporting purposes, and the excess of
accumulated depreciation for tax purposes over accumulated
depreciation for financial reporting purposes.
Amounts for deferred tax assets and liabilities are as
follows:
(in thousands)
1997 1996
Deferred tax asset $ 11 $ 4
Deferred tax liability (164) (133)
----- -----
Net deferred tax asset (liability) $(153) $(129)
===== =====
(11) Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share amounts are computed based on the
weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. The
number of shares used in the computations was 27,925 in 1997,
1996 and 1995.
(12) Pension Plan
The Bank has a non-contributory, money-purchase pension
plan that covers any employee that has completed one (1) year
of service and has attained age 21. Pension costs include
certain service costs, which are accrued and funded currently.
Pension expenses charged to operations in 1997, 1996 and 1995
were $44,038, $42,614, and $32,875, respectively.

A. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, certain officers,
directors and related companies were indebted to the Bank in
the aggregate amount of $1,432,691 and $1,277,726,
respectively. These loans were made at prevailing interest
rates.
B. The Bank had notes payable to stockholders in the
aggregate amount of $150,836 at December 31, 1995. The notes
were paid out during the year ended December 31, 1996.
Accordingly there was no interest expense during the year
ended December 31, 1997. The note accrued interest at a rate
of 5% of principal and accrued interest. Interest expense of
$4,636 and $14,245 was incurred during 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
C. The Bank leases an automobile from one of the directors
in the amount of approximately $6,000 per year.
(14) Regulatory Restrictions
Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that
may be paid without prior approval of the Bank's regulatory
agency. Prior approval shall be required if the total of all
dividends declared and paid by the Bank during any one year
would exceed the total of its net profits of that year
combined with the net profits from the immediate preceding
year.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate
certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary
actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's
assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's
capital amounts and classification are also subject to
qualitative judgements by the regulators about components,
risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure
capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts
and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I
capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted
assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to
average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of
December 31, 1997, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy
requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 1997, the bank was categorized as well
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the
Bank must maintain a minimum total risk based, Tier I risk-
based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table.
There are no conditions or events since that time that
management believes have changed the institution's category.

(15) Financial Instruments
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to
meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its
own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit,
credit card arrangements, and standby letters of credit.
Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount
recognized in the statement of financial position. The
contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the
extent of the Bank's involvement in particular classes of
financial instruments.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments
for commitments to extend credit is presented by the
contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank
uses the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments. Credit risk represents the accounting loss that
would be recognized at the reporting date if counterparties
failed completely to perform as contracted. The credit risk
amounts are equal to the contractual amounts, assuming that
the amounts are fully advanced and that, in accordance with
the requirements of FASB Statement No. 105, "Disclosure of
Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet
Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit
Risk," collateral or other security is of no value. The
bank's policy is to require customers to provide collateral
prior to the disbursement of approved loans. Collateral is
either in the form of a security interest or a mortgage on the
underlying property.
At December 31, 1997, the Bank was exposed to credit risk
on commitments to extend credit having contract amounts of
$1,428,496, summarized as follows: (in thousands)
Commitments to extend credit $ 1,273
Credit Card arrangements -
Standby letters of credit 205
--------
$ 1,428
========
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 many of the commitments are expected
to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment
amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
The Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a
case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it
is deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is
based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable;
inventory, property, plant and equipment; and income-producing
commercial properties.
Commitments to extend credit, credit card arrangements,
and standby letters of credit all include exposure to some
credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer.
The Bank's credit policies and procedures for credit
commitments and financial guarantees are the same as those for
extensions of credit that are recorded on the consolidated
statements of condition. The Bank does not anticipate any
material losses as a result of the contingent liabilities and
commitments.

The Bank intends to continue this policy because of the business
deposits and income that these activities generate for the Bank.
Such loans are made only with the approval of the Board of
Directors; are judged by the same credit guidelines and standards
as are applied to loans of a comparable nature made to others; are
made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates,
collateral and repayment terms as those prevailing at the
time for comparable transactions with others; and do not involve
more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other
unfavorable features.
