              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A:  Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim  consolidated  condensed financial  statements include the
accounts  of  Home  Financial  Bancorp  ("Company")  and  its  subsidiary,  Owen
Community Bank, s.b. ("Bank").

The unaudited  interim  consolidated  condensed  financial  statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not
include  all  information  and  disclosures   required  by  generally   accepted
accounting  principles  for  complete  financial  statements.   The  significant
accounting  policies  followed by the  Company  and Bank for  interim  financial
reporting  are  consistent  with the  accounting  policies  followed  for annual
financial   reporting.   All   adjustments,   consisting  of  normal   recurring
adjustments,  which  in the  opinion  of  management  are  necessary  for a fair
presentation of the results for the periods reported,  have been included in the
accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements.   Financial  and  other  data
contained  herein prior to July 1, 1996 relates solely to the Bank (See Note B).
The  results of  operations  for the nine  months  ended  March 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of those expected for the remainder of the year.

NOTE B:  Conversion to State Stock Savings Bank

In October,  1995, the Board of Directors adopted a Plan of Conversion  ("Plan")
to  convert  the  Bank  from  a   state-chartered   mutual  savings  bank  to  a
state-chartered stock savings bank through amendment of its charter and the sale
of common stock to a holding company formed in connection with the conversion.

On July 1, 1996,  the Bank  completed the  conversion  and the formation of Home
Financial Bancorp as the holding company of the Bank. As part of the conversion,
the  Company  issued  505,926  shares of common  stock at $10 per share of which
40,474 shares were issued to an Employee Stock  Ownership  Plan. Net proceeds of
the Company's  stock issuance,  after costs,  were  approximately  $4,728,000 of
which  $2,472,548  were used to acquire  100% of the stock and  ownership of the
Bank.  Costs  associated  with the conversion were deducted from the proceeds of
stock sold by the Company. The transaction was accounted for in a manner similar
to a pooling of interests.  Since the Company did not commence  operations until
July 1, 1996,  financial and other data  contained  herein prior to July 1, 1996
relates solely to the Bank.

At the date of  conversion,  the  Bank  established  a  liquidation  account  of
$3,293,000  which  equaled  the Bank's  retained  earnings as of the most recent
financial  statements,  December  31, 1995,  contained  in the final  conversion
prospectus.  The  liquidation  account  was  established  to  provide  a limited
priority  claim to the assets of the Bank to qualifying  depositors who continue
to maintain  deposits in the Bank after  conversion.  In the unlikely event of a
complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event,  qualifying depositors
would receive a liquidation  distribution based on their  proportionate share of
the then total remaining qualifying deposits.

The Company,  subject to certain supervisory  policies of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, may
pay dividends to its shareholders if its assets exceed its liabilities and it is
able to pay its debts as they come due.  Current  regulations  allow the Bank to
pay dividends on its stock after the conversion if its regulatory  capital would
not be reduced below the amount then required for the liquidation  account,  and
if those  dividends  do not exceed net profits of the Bank for the current  year
plus those for the previous two years.

NOTE C:  Special Savings Association Insurance Fund Assessment

The  deposits  of the Bank are  presently  insured  by the  Savings  Association
Insurance Fund  ("SAIF").  A  recapitalization  plan for the SAIF was enacted in
late September 1996 which provided for a special assessment on substantially all
SAIF-insured  institutions  to enable the SAIF to achieve its required  level of
reserves. The assessment of .657% was effected based on deposits as of March 31,
1995, and the Bank's special assessment was $142,457 before taxes.  Accordingly,
this special  assessment,  which was recorded as a liability as of September 30,
1996 and was paid in November 1996,  significantly  increased other expenses and
adversely  affected  results of operations for the nine month period ended March
31, 1997.

NOTE D: Stock Benefit Plans

As part of the conversion,  the Company  established an Employee Stock Ownership
Plan  ("ESOP")  covering  substantially  all  employees  of the  Bank.  The ESOP
acquired  40,474  shares  of the  Company  common  stock at $10 per share in the
conversion  with funds  provided by the  Company.  Accordingly,  the $404,740 of
common  stock  acquired  by the ESOP is shown as a  reduction  of  stockholders'
equity.  Compensation  expense is recorded equal to the fair market value of the
stock  when  contributions,  which  are  determined  annually  by the  Board  of
Directors of the Bank, are made to the ESOP.

Also as part of the  conversion,  the Board of Directors  approved a Recognition
and Retention  Plan ("RRP").  Restricted  stock awards  covering up to 4% of the
common  stock sold in the  conversion  may be  awarded to the Bank's  directors,
officers,  and key  employees  under  the RRP.  In  January  1997,  the  Company
purchased  20,237  shares  amounting  to  $290,000  for  the  RRP.  Accordingly,
shareholders  equity was reduced by this amount.  As the awards vest over a five
year period, expense will be recognized and equity increased.

Awards of 15,178 shares  amounting to $218,000 were granted  during the quarter.
Of that amount, $15,000 was earned and recorded as compensation expense.

Item 2: Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.

General

Home Financial Bancorp ("Company") is an Indiana corporation which was organized
in February 1996 to become a bank holding  company upon its  acquisition  of all
the capital stock of Owen Community Bank,  s.b.  ("Bank") in connection with the
Bank's  conversion  from  mutual to stock form.  The  Company  became the Bank's
holding  company at July 1, 1996. All historical  financial and other data prior
to July 1, 1996 relates  solely to the Bank.  At March 31, 1997,  the  principal
asset of the Company  consisted of 100% of the issued and outstanding  shares of
common stock of the Bank. At that date, the Company had no material  liabilities
and the Company had not  conducted  any material  operations.  As a result,  the
consolidated  condensed financial  statements appearing herein and the following
discussion of results of operations relate primarily to the Bank.

The  Bank  has  been,  and  continues  to  be,  a  community-oriented  financial
institution  offering  selected  financial  services  to meet  the  needs of the
communities  it serves.  The Bank attracts  deposits from the general public and
historically  has used such  deposits,  together with other funds,  primarily to
originate  one-to-four-family   residential  loans.  The  Bank  also  originates
commercial  mortgage,  consumer  and, to a lesser  extent,  construction  loans.
Through its only office located in Spencer, Indiana, the Bank serves communities
in Owen and surrounding counties.

BSF,  Inc.  ("BSF") is the wholly owned  subsidiary of the Bank which engages in
purchasing and developing large tracts of real estate.  After land is purchased,
BSF subdivides the real estate into lots, makes improvements such as streets and
sells  individual  lots,  usually on  contract.  In  connection  with the Bank's
conversion  to an Indiana  mutual  savings  bank,  the FDIC required the Bank to
cease BSF's land acquisitions,  divest BSF's  nonconforming real estate holdings
by November 16, 2000,  and maintain the Bank's  capital at levels  sufficient to
classify  the  Bank  as a  well-capitalized  institution.  BSF has  ceased  land
acquisitions and is in process of divesting of its real estate holdings.

The  Company's  results of  operations  depend  primarily  upon the level of net
interest income,  which is the difference  between the interest income earned on
its interest-earning assets such as loans and investments,  and the costs of the
Company's  interest-bearing  liabilities,  primarily  deposits  and  borrowings.
Results  of  operations  are  also  dependent  upon the  level of the  Company's
non-interest  income,  including fee income and service charges, and affected by
the level of its non-interest expenses, including its general and administrative
expenses.

Financial Condition

Total assets  increased to $39,443,000 at March 31, 1997 compared to $39,426,000
at June 30,  1996.  Cash and  short-term  interest  bearing  deposits  decreased
approximately  $3.1  million  due  primarily  to the use of  funds  for  lending
activities  and  acquisition of additional  premises and equipment.  At June 30,
1996, cash and short-term  investments  were unusually high as a result of funds
on deposit  related to the  conversion.  Investment  securities  decreased  $2.6
million and provided a source of funding for loans.  Total loans  increased $5.5
million  as of March 31,  1997,  compared  to June 30,  1996,  primarily  due to
commercial  real estate  loans  originated.  Since June 30,  1996,  premises and
equipment  increased  $436,000 to $949,000 at March 31, 1997.  This increase was
due to the  acquisition of real estate slated to be a future Owen Community Bank
branch  site  in the  southern  Putnam  County  town of  Cloverdale,  as well as
construction on future facilities adjacent to the Bank's existing main office in
Spencer.  Total  expenditures  for the  Cloverdale  and adjacent  locations  are
estimated to be $658,000 and $450,000.

Since June 30, 1996, deposits decreased $4.7 million primarily due to the use of
customer deposits to fund




<PAGE>



conversion  stock  purchases.  Borrowings at the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB")
increased  $800,000  to $8.0  million  as of  March  31,  1997.  The  additional
borrowings were used to fund loan originations.

The $3.9 million net  increase in  shareholders'  equity  during the nine months
ended March 31,  1997,  was largely the result of stock issued by the Company to
complete the conversion process on July 1, 1996. During the recent quarter ended
March 31, 1997,  the Company  repurchased  and retired  20,000  shares of common
stock pursuant to a 10% stock  repurchase plan announced on March 10, 1997. Also
during the recently completed quarter,  shares were purchased on the open market
for the  purposes of the  Company's  recognition  and  retention  plan and trust
("RRP").   The  stock  repurchase   transaction  reduced  the  level  of  shares
outstanding  and  the  RRP  related  transaction  reduced  the  level  of  total
shareholders'  equity.  Shareholders'  equity stood at $7.3 million, or 18.6% of
total assets as of March 31,  1997.  Book value at March 31, 1997 was $15.12 per
share based on 485,926 shares outstanding.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 1997
and 1996

The  Company  reported  net  income  of  $79,000,  or $.17  per  share,  for the
three-months  ended  March 31,  1997,  compared to net income of $71,000 for the
three-month  period ended March 31, 1996. The increase of $7,500,  or 10.5%, was
primarily due to increased net interest income.

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased $100,000,  or
28.5%, to $449,000 for the 1997 period,  from $349,000 for the 1996 period.  The
increase was primarily attributed to an increase in loans.

Management has established  valuation allowances  sufficient to absorb estimated
losses or exposure inherent in the Bank's asset structure.  Adjustments to these
allowances  reflect  management's  assessment  of  various  risk  factors  which
include,  but are not  limited to changes in the type and volume of the  lending
portfolio,  level and trend of loan  delinquencies,  size of  individual  credit
exposure,  and  effectiveness  of collection  efforts.  During the quarter ended
March 31, 1997,  the provision for loan losses was $17,000,  compared to $21,000
for the same period in 1996.  At March 31, 1997,  the  allowance for loan losses
was .63% of total loans compared to .55% at June 30, 1996.

Total noninterest  income increased $10,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997
compared to the same period in 1996. The increase  primarily resulted from a net
gain on securities sold to fund loan demand.  Management  anticipates that gains
on the sale of real estate acquired for development  will decrease in the future
and consequently  contribute less to noninterest  income. In connection with the
Bank's  conversion to an Indiana stock savings bank,  the FDIC required the Bank
to terminate this business activity by November, 2000.

Total noninterest  expenses  increased $103,000 to $347,000 for the 1997 quarter
compared to $244,000 for the 1996 quarter. Overall noninterest expense increased
despite a $9,000  decrease in deposit  insurance  expense  for the three  months
ended March 31, 1997,  compared to the same period in 1996. This drop in deposit
insurance  expense  resulted from reduced FDIC premium rates associated with the
recapitalization  of  the  Savings   Association   Insurance  Fund  ("SAIF")  in
September, 1996.

The net increase in  noninterest  expenses in the 1997 quarter was attributed to
increases in expenses  associated with salaries and employee benefits as well as
legal and accounting fees. The increase in salaries and employee benefits during
the 1997 period was primarily a result of expenses related to the employee stock
ownership plan adopted in July 1996, and the  recognition and retention plan and
trust approved by shareholders on January 8, 1997. Most of the increase in legal
and accounting expenses stemmed from efforts to meet legal, filing and reporting
requirements  mandated by various  banking and  securities  industry  regulatory
bodies,  as well as  other  matters  related  to the  conversion.  Specifically,
compared to a year earlier,  salaries and employee benefits expenses,  and legal
and accounting expenses increased by $64,000 and $51,000, respectively.




<PAGE>



Income  taxes  increased  from an expense of $48,000 for the three  months ended
March 31, 1996 to $51,000 for the 1997 period,  primarily due to the increase in
pre-tax income.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine-Month  Periods Ended March 31, 1997
and 1996

The Company  posted net income of $155,000 for the  nine-months  ended March 31,
1997  compared to net income of $225,000 for the  nine-month  period ended March
31, 1996. The decrease of $71,000 was primarily due to the one-time FDIC special
assessment to  recapitalize  SAIF, net of tax, and the  substantial  increase in
legal, accounting, and other professional fees related to the conversion. Absent
the one-time SAIF  assessment,  net income for the  nine-months  ended March 31,
1997 would have been approximately $241,000, or $ .52 per share.

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses  increased  $247,000 to
$1,285,000  for the 1997 period from  $1,038,000  for the 1996 period.  Proceeds
from  the  conversion  were  originally  invested  in  short-term  money  market
investments and  subsequently  invested in higher  yielding loans.  The increase
resulted  primarily from an increase in the level of earning assets and a higher
yield on earning assets during the nine months ended March 31, 1997.

The  provision  for loan losses was $59,500  during the nine month  period ended
March 31, 1997  compared to $63,500  for the same period a year  earlier.  As of
March 31, 1997,  the allowance for loan losses was .63% of total loans  compared
to .55% at June 30, 1996.

Total  noninterest  income decreased $16,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
1997  compared to the same period in 1996.  The net decrease was  primarily  the
result of a $12,000  drop in income  from the sale of real estate  acquired  for
development.  Management  anticipates  that  gains  on the  sale of real  estate
acquired for development  will continue to decline in the future.  In connection
with the Bank's  conversion to an Indiana stock savings bank,  the FDIC required
the Bank to terminate this business activity by November, 2000.

Total noninterest  expenses increased $350,000 to $1,036,000 for the nine months
ended March 31,  1997  compared  to  $685,000  for the same period in 1996.  The
increase in noninterest  expenses were primarily the result of the one-time FDIC
special  assessment to  recapitalize  the SAIF, and legal,  accounting and other
professional  fees  associated  with  the  conversion.  FDIC  deposit  insurance
expenses  increased  $122,000  to $161,000  for the nine months  ended March 31,
1997,  from  $38,000  for the same  period in 1996.  Legal and  accounting  fees
increased  $109,000 to $134,000  for the nine month  period in 1997  compared to
$25,000  for the  same  period  in 1996.  An  extraordinary  level of legal  and
accounting fees were incurred to meet legal,  filing and reporting  requirements
mandated by various banking and securities industry regulatory bodies related to
the conversion.  Noninterest  expenses also increased due to the $87,000 rise in
salaries and employee  benefits in the 1997 period  compared to a year  earlier.
Most of this increase was the result of expenses  related to the employee  stock
ownership plan adopted in July 1996 and the  recognition  and retention plan and
trust approved by shareholders on January 8, 1997.

Income tax expense  decreased  from $149,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
1996 to $104,000  for the same period in 1997.  The  decrease in tax expense for
the 1997 period  primarily  relates to the impact of the  one-time  FDIC special
assessment.

Asset Quality

The  allowance  for loan  losses was  $207,000  at March 31,  1997  compared  to
$150,000 at June 30, 1996.  Management  considered the allowance for loan losses
at March 31, 1997, to be adequate to cover estimated losses inherent in the loan
portfolio  at that date,  including  probable  losses  that could be  reasonably
estimated.  The increase in the allowance results from increased loan volume and
changes in composition.  Such beliefis based upon an analysis of loans currently
outstanding, past loss experience, current economic




<PAGE>



conditions  and other  factors  and  estimates  which are subject to change over
time.  The  following  table sets forth the changes  affecting the allowance for
loan losses for the nine months ended March 31, 1997.

Balance, March 31, 1997              $207,352
                                     ========

Total non-performing loans rose to $386,000 or 1.18% of total loans at March 31,
1997 compared to $359,000 or 1.32% of total loans at June 30, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's  most liquid assets are cash and interest  bearing  deposits.  The
levels of these assets are dependent on the Company's  operating,  financing and
investing   activities.   At  March  31,  1997  and  June  30,  1996,  cash  and
interest-bearing  deposits totaled $2.6 million and $5.7 million,  respectively.
The level at June 30,  1996 was  unusually  high as a result of funds on deposit
related to the conversion.  Funds deposited for purposes of participating in the
conversion were invested short term by the Company.

The Company's  primary sources of funds include  principal and interest payments
on loans,  loan  maturities,  and  repayments  on investment  securities.  While
scheduled loan repayments and proceeds from investment securities are relatively
predictable,  deposit flows and early repayments are more influenced by interest
rates,  general  economic  conditions and  competition.  The Company attempts to
price  its  deposits  to  meet  asset-liability   objectives  and  local  market
conditions.

If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it
has the  ability to borrow  funds  from the FHLB of  Indianapolis.  Federal  law
limits an institution's borrowings from the FHLB to 20 times the amount paid for
capital stock in the FHLB,  subject to  regulatory  capital  requirements.  As a
policy matter,  however, the FHLB of Indianapolis typically limits the amount of
borrowings  from  the  FHLB  to  50%  of  adjusted  assets  (total  assets  less
borrowings).  At March 31, 1997, the Company had  approximately  $8.0 million of
unused  credit  available  to it  under  such  guidelines.  At March  31,  1997,
borrowing from the FHLB totaled $8.0 million.

Shareholders'  equity  was  $7.3  million  at March  31,  1997 or 18.6% of total
assets.  Book  value at March 31,  1996 was  $15.12  per share  based on 485,926
outstanding  shares.  All fully phased-in  regulatory  capital  requirements are
currently met. In connection with the Bank's conversion to a state savings bank,
the FDIC  imposed  heightened  capital  requirements  on the Bank because of the
impermissible real estate development  activities of the Bank's subsidiary.  The
FDIC currently  requires that the Bank maintain  capital (after deduction of its
investment in its subsidiary) at levels sufficient for the Bank to be classified
as a well-  capitalized  institution.  The Bank's  actual and  required  capital
amounts (in thousands) and ratios are as follows as of March 31, 1997.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices

The Company's asset and liability structure is substantially different from that
of an industrial company in that most of its assets and liabilities are monetary
in nature.  Management  believes the impact of  inflation  on financial  results
depends upon the Company's ability to react to changes in interest rates and, by
such reaction, reduce the inflationary impact on performance.  Interest rates do
not  necessarily  move in the same  direction  at the same time,  or at the same
magnitude,  as the prices of other goods and services.  Management relies on its
ability  to  manage  the  relationship  between  interest-sensitive  assets  and
liabilities to protect against wide interest rate fluctuations,  including those
resulting from inflation.

Accounting Matters

Accounting  for  Stock-Based   Compensation.   SFAS  No.  123,   Accounting  for
Stock-Based  Compensation,  establishes  a fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based  compensation  plans.  The FASB encourages all entities to adopt
this method for accounting for all  arrangements  under which employees  receive
shares of stock or other equity  instruments  of the  employer,  or the employer
incurs liabilities to employees in amounts based on the price of its stock.

Due to the extremely controversial nature of this project, the Statement permits
a company to continue the accounting for stock-based  compensation prescribed in
Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion No. 25,  Accounting  for Stock  Issued to
Employees.  If a company elects that option,  proforma disclosures of net income
(and earnings per share,  if presented)  are required in the footnotes as if the
provisions of this Statement had been used to measure stock-based  compensation.
The disclosure requirements of Opinion No.
25 have been superseded by the disclosure requirements of this Statement.

Once an entity  adopts the fair value  based  method  for  accounting  for these
transactions, that election cannot be reversed.

Equity instruments granted or otherwise transferred directly to an employee by a
principal  stockholder are stock-based employee compensation to be accounted for
in  accordance  with either  Opinion 25 or this  Statement,  unless the transfer
clearly is for a purpose other than compensation.

The accounting  requirements  of this  Statement are effective for  transactions
entered into in fiscal years that begin after  December 15, 1995. The disclosure
requirements  are effective for financial  statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995. Proforma  disclosures  required for entities that elect
to  continue  to measure  compensation  cost using  Opinion 25 must  include the
effects of all awards  granted in fiscal  years that begin  after  December  15,
1994.

During the initial phase-in  period,  the effects of applying this Statement are
not likely to be  representative  of the effects on the  reported net income for
future  years  because  options vest over several  years and  additional  awards
generally are made each year. If that situation exists, the entity shall include
a statement to that effect.




<PAGE>



Management  does not believe the impact of SFAS No. 123 on either the  Company's
financial position or results of operations will be material.

Accounting for Employee Stock Plans. In November 1993, the American Institute of
Certified  Public  Accountants  issued  Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-6 which
addresses the  accounting for shares of stock issued to employees by an employee
stock  ownership  plan  ("Employee  Plan").  SOP 93-6 requires that the employer
record  compensation  expense  in an  amount  equal to the fair  value of shares
committed  to be released  to  employees  from the  Employee  Plan.  SOP 93-6 is
effective  for fiscal  years  beginning  after  December 15, 1993 and relates to
shares purchased by an Employee Plan after December 31, 1992. Assuming shares of
common stock appreciate in value overtime,  the adoption of SOP 93-6 will likely
increase  compensation  expense  relative to the Company's  ESOP  established in
connection with the Conversion, as compared with prior guidance which would have
required the  recognition  of  compensation  expense based on the cost of shares
acquired by the ESOP.

Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial  Assets and  Extinguishments
of Liabilities.  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 125,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial  Assets and  Extinguishments
of  Liabilities,  was  adopted by the  Company on January 1, 1997.  SFAS No. 125
provides consistent  standards for distinguishing  transfers of financial assets
that are sales from transfers that are considered secured borrowings. A transfer
of financial assets in which the transferor surrenders control over those assets
is  accounted  for as a  sale  to  the  extent  that  consideration  other  than
beneficial  interests in the  transferred  assets is received in  exchange.  The
transferor has surrendered  control over transferred assets only if all specific
conditions are met. This Statement provides detailed  measurement  standards for
assets and  liabilities  included in these  transactions.  The  adoption of this
Statement  had no  material  impact on the  Company's  financial  condition  and
results of operations.

Part II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Neither the Bank nor the Company were during the three-month  period ended March
31, 1997 or are as of the date hereof  involved  in any legal  proceedings  of a
material  nature.  From time to time,  the Bank is a party to legal  proceedings
wherein it enforces its security  interests in connection  with its mortgage and
other loans.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to Vote of Security Holders

On January 8, 1997, the Company held its first annual meeting of shareholders at
which time matters  submitted to a vote of stockholders  included an election of
Company directors, approval and ratification of the Home Financial Bancorp Stock
Option  Plan,  approval  and  ratification  of the  Owen  Community  Bank,  s.b.
Recognition and Retention Plan, and approval and ratification of the appointment
of Geo.  S. Olive & Co.,  LLC as  auditors  for the fiscal  year ending June 30,
1997.

All director nominees were elected and the Company's previous Board of Directors
was  re-elected  in  its  entirety.  The  Recognition  and  Retention  Plan  and
appointment  of auditors  were also  approved  and ratified by a majority of the
505,926  issued and  outstanding  share votes.  The  proposed  Stock Option Plan
failed to receive the votes required for approval. A tabulation of votes cast as
to each matter submitted to stockholders is presented below:

     Section 1. Place of  Meeting.  Every  meeting  of the  shareholders  of the
Corporation (the "Shareholders") shall be held at the Principal Office, unless a
different  place is  specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting
or by resolution of the Board or the  Shareholders,  in which event such meeting
may be held at the place so  specified,  either  within or without  the State of
Indiana.

     Section 2. Annual  Meeting.  The annual  meeting of the  Shareholders  (the
"Annual  Meeting")  shall be held each year at 3:00  o'clock  P.M. on the second
Tuesday in October (or, if such day is a legal holiday,  on the next  succeeding

<PAGE>

Special Meetings, stating the date, time, place and purpose or purposes thereof,
shall be  delivered  or mailed by the  Secretary  or the  President  or any Vice

     Section 6.  Waiver of Notice of  Meetings.  Notice of any Annual or Special

after the date and time of the Meeting  specified  in the notice  thereof,  by a
written  waiver  delivered to the  Corporation  for  inclusion in the minutes or
filing with the corporate records. A Shareholder's  attendance at any Meeting in
person or by proxy  shall  constitute  a waiver of (a)  notice of such  Meeting,
unless the Shareholder at the beginning of the Meeting objects to the holding of
or the  transaction of business at the Meeting,  and (b)  consideration  at such
Meeting of any business that is not within the purpose or purposes  described in
the Meeting  notice,  unless the  Shareholder  objects to considering the matter
when it is presented.

     Section 7. Quorum. At any Meeting,  the holders of a majority of the voting
power of all shares of the Corporation (the "Shares") issued and outstanding and
entitled to vote at such  Meeting  (after  giving  effect to the  provisions  in
Article 11 of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, as the same may,
from time to time,  be amended (the  "Articles")),  represented  in person or by
proxy,  shall  constitute  a quorum for the  election  of  Directors  or for the
transaction of other business, unless otherwise provided by law, the Articles or
this Code of  By-Laws,  as the same may,  from time to time,  be amended  (these
"By-Laws").  If,  however,  a quorum shall not be present or  represented at any
Meeting,  the  Shareholders  entitled  to vote  thereat,  present  in  person or
represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the Meeting from time to time,
without  notice  other than  announcement  at the Meeting of the date,  time and
place  of the  adjourned  Meeting,  unless  the  date of the  adjourned  Meeting
requires that the Board fix a new record date (the "Record Date")  therefor,  in
which case notice of the  adjourned  Meeting shall be given.  At such  adjourned
Meeting,  if a quorum  shall be  present or  represented,  any  business  may be
transacted  that  might  have  been  transacted  at the  Meeting  as  originally
scheduled.

     Section 8. Voting.  At each  Meeting,  every  Shareholder  entitled to vote
shall  have one vote for each  Share  standing  in his name on the  books of the
Corporation as of the Record Date fixed by the Board for such Meeting, except as
otherwise  provided  by law or the  Articles,  and except that no Share shall be
voted at any Meeting upon which any  installment  is due and unpaid and no share
which is not entitled to vote  pursuant to Article 11 of the  Articles  shall be
voted  at any  Meeting.  Voting  for  Directors  and,  upon  the  demand  of any
Shareholder,  voting upon any question  properly  before a Meeting,  shall be by
ballot.  A plurality  vote shall be necessary to elect any Director,  and on all
other matters, the action or a question shall be approved if the number of votes
cast thereon in favor of the action or question exceeds the number of votes cast
opposing  the action or  question,  except as  otherwise  provided by law or the
Articles.

     Section 9.  Shareholder  List.  The  Secretary  shall  prepare  before each
Meeting a complete list of the Shareholders  entitled to notice of such Meeting,
arranged in  alphabetical  order by class of Shares  (and each  series  within a
class),  and showing  the address of, and the number of Shares  entitled to vote
held by, each Shareholder (the "Shareholder List"). Beginning five business days
before the Meeting and continuing  throughout the Meeting,  the Shareholder List
shall be on file at the Principal Office or at a place identified in the Meeting
notice in the city where the Meeting will be held,  and shall be  available  for
inspection  by any  Shareholder  entitled  to vote at the  Meeting.  On  written
demand,  made in good  faith  and  for a  proper  purpose  and  describing  with
reasonable  particularity the Shareholder's purpose, and if the Shareholder List
is directly  connected with the  Shareholder's  purpose,  a Shareholder (or such
Shareholder's  agent or attorney  authorized  in  writing)  shall be entitled to
inspect and to copy the Shareholder  List,  during regular business hours and at
the Shareholder's  expense,  during the period the Shareholder List is available
for inspection. The original stock register or transfer book (the "Stock Book"),
or a duplicate thereof kept in the State of Indiana,  shall be the only evidence
as to who are the Shareholders  entitled to examine the Shareholder  List, or to
notice of or to vote at any Meeting.


<PAGE>

     Section 10.  Proxies.  A Shareholder  may vote either in person or by proxy
executed in writing by the Shareholder or a duly authorized attorney-in-fact. No
proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the date of its execution,  unless
a shorter or longer time is expressly provided therein.

     Section 11. Notice of  Shareholder  Business.  At an Annual  Meeting of the
Shareholders,  only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly
brought before the Meeting.  To be properly  brought  before an Annual  Meeting,
business  must be (a)  specified  in the  notice of Meeting  (or any  supplement
thereto)  given by or at the  direction  of the Board,  (b)  otherwise  properly
brought before the Meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or (c) otherwise
properly  brought  before  the  Meeting by a  Shareholder.  For  business  to be
properly brought before an Annual Meeting by a Shareholder, the Shareholder must
have the legal right and authority to make the Proposal for consideration at the
Meeting and the Shareholder  must have given timely notice thereof in writing to
the Secretary of the Corporation.  To be timely, a Shareholder's  notice must be
delivered to or mailed and received at the  principal  executive  offices of the
Corporation, not less than 60 days prior to the Meeting; provided, however, that
in the event that less than 70 days'  notice or prior public  disclosure  of the
date of the  Meeting is given or made to  Shareholders  (which  notice or public
disclosure  shall  include  the date of the Annual  Meeting  specified  in these
By-Laws,  if such  By-Laws  have been filed  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  and if the  Annual  Meeting  is held on such  date),  notice  by the
Shareholder  to be  timely  must be so  received  not  later  than the  close of
business on the 10th day  following  the day on which such notice of the date of
the  Annual   Meeting  was  mailed  or  such  public   disclosure  was  made.  A
Shareholder's  notice to the  Secretary  shall set forth as to each  matter  the
Shareholder  proposes to bring before the Annual Meeting (a) a brief description
of the business  desired to be brought before the Annual Meeting and the reasons
for  conducting  such  business at the Annual  Meeting,  (b) the name and record
address of the Shareholders proposing such business, (c) the class and number of
shares of the Corporation which are beneficially  owned by the Shareholder,  and
(d) any material  interest of the Shareholder in such business.  Notwithstanding
anything in these By-Laws to the contrary,  no business shall be conducted at an
Annual  Meeting  except  in  accordance  with the  procedures  set forth in this
Section  11. The  Chairman of an Annual  Meeting  shall,  if the facts  warrant,
