                                     PART I
Item 1.       Business.

General

         Home Financial  Bancorp (the "Holding  Company" and,  together with the
Bank (as defined below), the "Company") is an Indiana  corporation  organized in
February, 1996, to become a bank holding company upon its acquisition of all the
issued and  outstanding  capital stock of Owen Community Bank, s.b. (the "Bank")
in connection with the Bank's  conversion from mutual to stock form. The Holding
Company became the Bank's holding company on July 1, 1996; therefore, historical
financial  and other data  contained  herein for  periods  prior to July 1, 1996
relate solely to the Bank, while  historical  financial and other data contained
herein for the periods  after July 1, 1996 relate to the Company.  The principal
asset of the  Holding  Company  currently  consists  of 100% of the  issued  and
outstanding shares of common stock of the Bank. The Bank was organized under the
name  Owen  County  Savings  and Loan  Association  in 1911.  In 1972,  the Bank
converted to a federally chartered savings and loan and changed its name to Owen
County Federal Savings and Loan Association,  and in 1989, the Bank converted to
a federally  chartered savings bank known as Owen Federal Savings Bank. In 1994,
the Bank became an Indiana  savings bank known as Owen Community  Bank, s.b. The
Bank's  principal  business  consists of  attracting  deposits  from the general
public and  originating  long-term  adjustable-rate  loans secured  primarily by
first  mortgage  liens on one- to  four-family  real estate.  The Bank's deposit
accounts  are  insured  up to  applicable  limits  by  the  Savings  Association
Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") of the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  (the
"FDIC").

         The Bank is the oldest  continuously  operating  financial  institution
headquartered  in  Owen  County,  Indiana.  Management  believes  the  Bank  has
developed  a solid  reputation  among its loyal  customer  base  because  of its
commitment to personal  service and its strong  support of the local  community.
The Bank offers a number of consumer and commercial  financial  services.  These
services  include:  (i)  residential  real estate  loans;  (ii)  indemnification
mortgage loans ("ID Mortgage Loans");  (iii) mobile home loans; (iv) combination
land-mobile  home loans ("Combo  Loans");  (v)  construction  loans;  (vi) share
loans; (vii)  nonresidential  real estate loans; (viii) multi-family loans; (ix)
installment  loans;  (x) NOW  accounts;  (xi)  demand  deposit  accounts;  (xii)
passbook  savings  accounts;  and (xiii)  certificates  of deposit.  The Company
conducts business out of its main office located in Spencer, Indiana.


         The Bank  historically has  concentrated its lending  activities on the
origination  of  loans  secured  by  first  mortgage  liens  for  the  purchase,
construction  or refinancing of one- to four-family  residential  real property.
One- to four-family residential mortgage loans continue to be the major focus of
the Bank's loan origination  activities,  representing 56.8% of the Bank's total
loan  portfolio  at June 30,  1998.  The Bank also  offers  mobile  home  loans,
multi-family  mortgage loans,  nonresidential real estate loans, Combo Loans and
consumer loans. Mobile home loans and Combo Loans totaled approximately 2.4% and
13.5%  of the  Bank's  total  loan  portfolio  at June 30,  1998,  respectively.
Mortgage loans secured by multi-family properties and nonresidential real estate
totaled  approximately  2.6% and 22.1%,  respectively,  of the Bank's total loan
portfolio at June 30, 1998. Consumer loans constituted approximately 1.9% of the
Bank's total loan portfolio at June 30, 1998.

     The  following  table  sets forth  certain  information  at June 30,  1998,
regarding the dollar amount of loans maturing in the Bank's loan portfolio based
on the contractual terms to maturity.  Demand loans having no stated schedule of
repayments and no stated maturity and overdrafts are reported as due in one year
or less.  This schedule does not reflect the effects of possible  prepayments or
enforcement of due-on-sale  clauses.  Management expects  prepayments will cause
actual maturities to be shorter.

         One- to Four-  Family  Residential  Loans.  Residential  loans  consist
primarily of one- to four-family loans. Approximately $19.6 million, or 56.8% of
the Bank's portfolio of loans at June 30, 1998, consisted of one- to four-family
residential  mortgage loans, of which  approximately 62.5% had adjustable rates.
Pursuant to federal  regulations,  such loans must require at least  semi-annual
payments and be for a term of not more than 40 years,  and, if the interest rate
is  adjustable,  they must be  correlated  with changes in a readily  verifiable
index.


<PAGE>

         The Bank currently  offers three (3) types of  adjustable-rate  one- to
four-family  residential  mortgage  loans  ("ARMs").  The Bank offers ARMs which
adjust annually and are indexed to the Auction Average of One Year U.S. Treasury
Bills as published  monthly by the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") (the "Average 1
Year  T-Bill").  The maximum rate  adjustment  per year and over the life of the
loan for the Bank's  one-year  ARMs are 1%-1.5% and 4%-5%,  respectively.  These
ARMs are  generally  underwritten  for  terms of up to 25  years.  The Bank also
offers  three-year and five-year ARMs which are indexed to the National  Average
Contract  Interest  Rate  for the  Purchase  of  Previously  Occupied  Homes  as
published by the Federal Housing  Finance Board ("FHFB") (the "National  Average
Contract Rate") and have maximum rate adjustments per adjustment period and over
the life of the  loan of 3% and 5%,  respectively.  The  Bank's  three-year  and
five-year ARMs are generally  underwritten for terms of up to 25 years. The Bank
will not  generally  lend  more than  $75,000  for any  residential  loan with a
Loan-to-Value Ratio of 90% or higher.

         The  initial  interest  rate  for  each  of the  Bank's  ARM  loans  is
determined  by the  Executive  Committee of the Bank's Board of Directors  based
upon  prevailing  rates in the Bank's  market  area,  the credit  history of the
applicant  and the  Loan-to-Value  Ratio.  The  interest  rates for  loans  with
Loan-to-Value  Ratios  of  greater  than 80% and  less  than or equal to 85% are
typically 100 basis points higher than the same loans with Loan-to-Value  Ratios
of 80% or less.  The  interest  rates for  loans  with  Loan-to-Value  Ratios of
greater than 85% are generally  150 basis points  higher than the  corresponding
loans with  Loan-to-Value  Ratios of 80% or less. When the initial interest rate
is  determined  for an ARM  loan,  a margin is  calculated  by  subtracting  the
then-current  index rate (i.e.,  the Average 1 Year T-Bill for one-year  ARMs or
the National  Average  Contract Rate for three-year and five-year ARMs) from the
initial interest rate. Interest rate adjustments are thereafter determined based
on  fluctuations  of the index  rate with a  specific  loan's  margin  remaining
constant.

         Adjustable-rate  loans  decrease  the risk  associated  with changes in
interest  rates but involve  other risks,  primarily  because as interest  rates
rise, the payment by the borrowers may rise to the extent permitted by the terms
of the loan, thereby increasing the potential for default. Also, adjustable-rate
loans have features  which  restrict  changes in interest  rates on a short-term
basis and over the life of the loan.  At the same time,  the market value of the
underlying property may be adversely affected by higher interest rates.

         The Bank also currently  offers  fixed-rate loans which provide for the
payment of principal and interest over a period not to exceed 20 years.  At June
30,  1998,  37.5% of the Bank's  residential  mortgage  loans had fixed rates of
interest.

         The Bank does not currently originate residential mortgage loans if the
Loan-to-Value  Ratio exceeds 90% and does not currently require private mortgage
insurance  on  its  residential   single-family   mortgage  loans.  The  maximum
Loan-to-Value  Ratio for  non-owner  occupied  one- to  four-family  residential
mortgage loans is 80%.

         Substantially  all of the  residential  mortgage  loans  that  the Bank
originates  include  "due-on-sale"  clauses,  which  give the Bank the  right to
declare a loan  immediately  due and  payable  in the event  that,  among  other
things, the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the real property subject to
the mortgage and the loan is not repaid.

         The Bank's  residential  mortgage loans are not originated on terms and
conditions and using  documentation that conform with the standard  underwriting
criteria required to sell such loans in the secondary market. The Bank generally
retains its loans in its portfolio and does not  anticipate the need to sell its
non-conforming loans. See "-- Origination, Purchase and Sale of Loans."

         At June 30, 1998,  residential loans amounting to $236,000, or 0.68% of
total loans, were included in non-performing  assets. See "-- Non-Performing and
Problem Assets."

         The Bank offers mortgage loans for the construction of residential real
estate.  Such loans are made with  respect to  owner-occupied  residential  real
estate  and, in limited  cases,  to builders  or  developers  constructing  such
properties on a speculative investment basis (i.e., before the builder/developer
obtains a commitment from a buyer).  Substantially all of such loans are made to
owners who are to occupy the premises.


<PAGE>

         These  loans are  written as  permanent  mortgage  loans such that only
disbursed  principal  and interest are payable  during the  construction  phase,
which is typically limited to six (6) months.  Inspections are made prior to any
disbursement under such a loan.

         Mortgage loans written for the construction of residential real estate,
like  construction  loans  generally,  involve a higher level of risk than loans
secured by existing  properties.  For example, if a project is not completed and
the borrower defaults,  the Bank may have to hire another contractor to complete
the project at a higher cost.  Also, a house may be completed,  but not salable,
resulting in the borrower defaulting and the Bank taking title to the house.

         The Bank also offers ID Mortgage  Loans.  ID Mortgage Loans are similar
to home  equity  loans in that such loans  create a line of credit  secured by a
real  estate  mortgage  against  which a borrower  may draw,  and are  typically
written as second  mortgage  loans.  The Bank  generally  writes its ID Mortgage
Loans so that  all  future  indebtedness  of a  borrower  is  secured  by the ID
Mortgage without the necessity of recording an additional  security  instrument.
ID Mortgage  loans carry  fixed  rates and are  generally  written for terms not
exceeding 20 years. The maximum Loan-to-Value Ratio for ID Mortgage Loans is 90%
if the subject  real estate is not  encumbered  by another  mortgage or the Bank
holds the first  mortgage on the subject real estate,  and 80% if another lender
holds the first  mortgage on the subject real estate.  If an appraisal  has been
completed  on the  subject  property  within  five (5) years,  the Bank does not
generally require a new appraisal.

         Combo Loans.  At June 30, 1998,  $4.7  million,  or 13.5% of the Bank's
total loan portfolio, consisted of Combo Loans, of which approximately 53.9% had
adjustable  rates. The Bank currently offers three (3) types of  adjustable-rate
Combo Loans. The Bank's one-year  adjustable-rate Combo Loans are indexed to the
Average One Year T-Bill and have maximum rate  adjustments per year and over the
life of the loan of 1.5% and 3%,  respectively.  The Bank also offers three-year
and five-year  adjustable-rate Combo Loans which are indexed to National Average
Contract Rate and have maximum rate  adjustments per adjustment  period and over
the life of the loan of 3% and 5%,  respectively.  The  Bank's  Combo  Loans are
generally  underwritten for terms of up to 25 years.  The maximum  Loan-to-Value
Ratio for a Combo Loan is 90%.

         The  initial  interest  rate  for  each of the  Bank's  Combo  Loans is
determined  by the  Executive  Committee of the Bank's Board of Directors  based
upon prevailing rates in the Bank's market area,  applicant's credit history and
the Loan-to-Value Ratio. The Bank generally  establishes its base interest rates
for Combo Loans at a level 100 basis points higher than the  corresponding  rate
for a  residential  ARM  loan.  The  interest  rates  for  Combo  Loans  with  a
Loan-to-Value  Ratio of more than 80% are typically 100 basis points higher than
the same Combo Loans with Loan-to-Value  Ratios of 80% or less. An interest rate
margin is determined  for each Combo Loan in the same manner as described  above
for residential ARM loans.

         The Bank also offers  fixed-rate Combo Loans with terms of 10 years, 15
years and 20 years. At June 30, 1998,  46.1% of the Bank's Combo Loans had fixed
rates of interest.

         Mobile Home Loans.  The Bank  originates  loans for the purchase of new
and used mobile homes. At June 30, 1998,  approximately $831,000, or 2.4% of the
Bank's portfolio of loans,  consisted of mobile home loans. The Company's mobile
home loans are  fixed-rate  loans with maximum  terms of 15 years for new mobile
homes and 10 years for previously owned mobile homes. The maximum  Loan-to-Value
Ratio for mobile home loans is 90%.


<PAGE>

         The Bank has  emphasized  mobile home loans because they generally have
shorter terms to maturity and higher yields than the Bank's residential mortgage
loans.  In  addition,  the Bank is the primary  lender in its market area making
mobile home loans,  and mobile home  lending  significantly  enhances the Bank's
compliance  under the Community  Reinvestment  Act of 1977. The Bank anticipates
that it will continue to be an active originator of mobile home loans.

         Mobile home lending entails greater risk than  traditional  residential
mortgage  lending.  Loans  secured by mobile homes involve more credit risk than
residential mortgage loans because of the type and nature of the collateral, the
fact that such loans generally are made to borrowers with low income levels, and
the fact that mobile homes tend to rapidly  depreciate in value.  In many cases,
any repossessed collateral for a defaulting mobile home loan will not provide an
adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance because of improper
repair and  maintenance  of the underlying  security.  None of the Bank's mobile
home loans was included in non-performing assets at June 30, 1998.

         Nonresidential  Real Estate Loans. At June 30, 1998,  $7.6 million,  or
22.1% of the Bank's  total loan  portfolio,  consisted  of  nonresidential  real
estate loans, of which $1.1 million constituted loans secured by unimproved land
only. The nonresidential  real estate loans included in the Bank's portfolio are
primarily  secured  by real  estate  such as a motel,  a  warehouse,  a  medical
facility, a funeral home and several churches.  At June 30, 1998,  $515,000,  or
6.8% of the Bank's nonresidential loan portfolio,  was secured by churches.  The
Bank  currently   originates   nonresidential  real  estate  loans  as  one-year
adjustable-rate  loans indexed to the prime rate with a margin of 1% to 3% above
such index. In addition,  the maximum rate adjustment per adjustment  period and
over the life of the loan is unrestricted. The Bank underwrites these loans on a
case-by-case  basis and, in addition to its normal  underwriting  criteria,  the
Bank evaluates the borrower's ability to service the debt from the net operating
income of the property.  The largest nonresidential real estate loan on June 30,
1998 was  $764,000.  None of the Bank's  nonresidential  real  estate  loans was
included in non-performing assets at that date.

         Loans secured by  nonresidential  real estate generally are larger than
one- to  four-family  residential  loans and  involve a greater  degree of risk.
Nonresidential  real estate loans often  involve  large loan  balances to single
borrowers  or groups of related  borrowers.  Payments on these loans depend to a
large degree on results of operations  and  management of the properties and may
be affected to a greater extent by adverse  conditions in the real estate market
or the economy in general.  Accordingly, the nature of the loans makes them more
difficult for management to monitor and evaluate.

         Multi-Family  Loans.  Approximately  $904,000,  or 2.6%  of the  Bank's
portfolio  of loans at June 30,  1998,  consisted  of  multi-family  loans.  The
largest  multi-family  loan at June 30, 1998 had a balance of  $538,000  and was
secured by an apartment complex. All of the Bank's multi-family loans were fully
performing as of June 30, 1998.  The Bank's  multi-family  loans are written for
maximum terms of 20 years, and the Bank does not originate multi-family loans if
the Loan-to-Value Ratio exceeds 80%.

         Consumer  Loans.  The Bank's consumer  loans,  consisting  primarily of
installment and share loans, aggregated $655,000 as of June 30, 1998, or 1.9% of
the Bank's total loan portfolio. The Bank consistently originates consumer loans
to meet the needs of its customers and to assist in meeting its  asset/liability
management  goals.  All of the Bank's consumer loans are fixed-rate  loans,  and
substantially all are secured loans.

         The Bank's  installment loans are fixed-rate loans generally secured by
collateral,  including  vehicle titles,  and are made for maximum terms of up to
five years  (depending  on the  collateral).  The Bank  generally  will not make
installment loans in amounts greater than $5,000.

         The  Bank's  share  loans  are made up to 80% of the  original  account
balance and accrue at a rate of 2% over the  underlying  certificate  of deposit
rate. Interest on share loans is paid semi-annually.


<PAGE>

         Consumer  loans may  entail  greater  credit  risk than do  residential
mortgage  loans,  particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured
or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles.  Further, any
repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate
source of repayment of the  outstanding  loan balance as a result of the greater
likelihood  of  damage,  loss  or  depreciation.   In  addition,  consumer  loan
collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability,  and
thus  are  more  likely  to  be  affected  by  adverse  personal  circumstances.
Furthermore,  the  application  of various  federal  and state  laws,  including
bankruptcy and  insolvency  laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on
such loans.  At June 30, 1998,  consumer loans amounting to $8,000 were included
in non-performing  assets. See  "--Non-Performing and Problem Assets." There can
be no assurances,  however, that additional  delinquencies will not occur in the
future.

         Origination,  Purchase and Sale of Loans. The Bank currently originates
its mortgage loans pursuant to its own  underwriting  standards which are not in
conformity  with  the  standard  criteria  of the  Federal  Home  Loan  Mortgage
Corporation  ("FHLMC") or Federal National Mortgage Association  ("FNMA"). If it
desired to sell its mortgage  loans,  the Bank might  therefore  experience some
difficulty  selling such loans quickly in the secondary market.  The Bank has no
intention,  however, of attempting to sell such loans. The Bank's ARMs vary from
secondary market criteria because, among other things, the Bank does not require
current  property  surveys in all cases,  does not require  escrow  accounts for
taxes and insurance  and does not permit the  conversion of those loans to fixed
rate loans in the first three years of their term.

         The Bank  confines its loan  origination  activities  primarily to Owen
County.  At June 30, 1998, no loans were secured by property  located outside of
Indiana.  The Bank's loan  originations  are generated  from referrals from real
estate dealers and existing customers, and newspaper and periodical advertising.
All loan applications are processed and underwritten at the Bank's main office.

         The Bank's loan approval  process is intended to assess the  borrower's
ability to repay the loan,  the  viability  of the loan and the  adequacy of the
value of the  property  that will  secure  the loan.  To assess  the  borrower's
ability  to repay,  the Bank  studies  the  employment  and credit  history  and
information  on  the  historical  and  projected  income  and  expenses  of  its
mortgagors.  Mortgage loans up to $150,000 and mobile home loans may be approved
by the Executive  Committee.  All mortgage  loans for more than $150,000 must be
approved in advance by the Board of Directors.  Consumer  loans up to $5,000 may
be approved by the Bank's Senior  Installment  Loan Officer.  Consumer loans for
more than $5,000 must be approved by the Executive Committee.

         The Bank  generally  requires  appraisals on all property  securing its
loans and  requires  title  insurance  and a valid  lien on its  mortgaged  real
estate.  Appraisals for  residential  real property valued at less than $250,000
are performed by an in-house  appraiser.  Appraisals for residential  properties
valued in excess of $250,000 and appraisals for all  nonresidential  real estate
are performed by an appraiser who is a state-licensed residential appraiser. The
Bank requires fire and extended coverage  insurance in amounts at least equal to
the principal amount of the loan and requires  vandalism  coverage on all mobile
home loans.  It also requires flood  insurance to protect the property  securing
its  interest  if the  property is in a flood  plane.  The Bank does not require
escrow  accounts to be established by its borrowers for the payment of insurance
premiums or taxes and does not require private mortgage insurance for its loans.

         The Bank's  underwriting  standards for consumer  loans are intended to
protect against some of the risks inherent in making  consumer  loans.  Borrower
character, paying habits and financial strengths are important considerations.


<PAGE>

         The Bank historically has sold  participations in its mortgage loans on
a  limited  number  of  occasions  to ensure  compliance  with the  loans-to-one
borrower restrictions.  See "Regulation -- Loans-to-One Borrower." The Bank also
occasionally   purchases   participations  in  nonresidential  real  estate  and
multi-family loans from other financial institutions. However, at June 30, 1998,
the Bank did not hold any participation loans.

         The  following  table shows loan  origination,  purchase and  repayment
activity for the Bank during the periods indicated.

         Origination and Other Fees. The Bank realizes  income from  origination
fees,  late  charges,  checking  account  service  charges,  and fees for  other
miscellaneous  services.  The Bank does not  currently  charge any points on its
loans.  However,  the Bank  currently  charges  $300 plus  closing  costs on its
mortgage loans.  Late charges are generally  assessed if payment is not received
within a specified  number of days after it is due. The grace period  depends on
the individual loan documents.

         The Bank presently  maintains one automated teller machine ("ATM").  It
is  located  at its main  office  in  Spencer,  Indiana.  A  second  ATM will be
operational  in  Cloverdale,  Indiana  when the branch opens for business in the
coming months.  The Bank's ATMs operate in the MAC(R)  regional  network and the
CIRRUS(R)  nationwide  network.  The Company does not derive  significant income
from the ATM cards.

         Mortgage-Backed  Securities. At June 30, 1998, the Bank had $537,000 of
mortgage-backed  securities  outstanding,   all  of  which  were  classified  as
available for sale. These fixed-rate  mortgage-backed  securities may be used as
collateral for borrowings  and,  through  repayments,  as a source of liquidity.
Mortgage-backed  securities  generally  offer yields above those  available  for
investments of comparable credit quality and duration.

Non-Performing and Problem Assets

         Mortgage  loans are  reviewed  by the Bank on a  regular  basis and are
placed on a non-accrual  status when the loans become  contractually past due 90
days or more.  It is the  policy of the Bank  that all  earned  but  uncollected
interest on all loans be reviewed  monthly to determine  if any portion  thereof
should be classified as  uncollectible  for any loan past due less than 90 days.
Delinquency  notices are sent three times per month with respect to all mortgage
loans for which payments have not been  received.  Contact by phone or in person
is made, if feasible,  with respect to all such loans. When loans are 40 days in
default,  an additional  delinquency notice is sent and personal contact is made
with the borrower to establish an acceptable repayment schedule.  When loans are
60 days in  default,  contact is again made with the  borrower to  establish  an
acceptable  repayment  schedule.  The Bank also provides  free  in-house  credit
counseling to all  borrowers.  Management is authorized to commence  foreclosure
proceedings  for any loan upon making a  determination  that it is prudent to do
so. All loans for which  foreclosure  proceedings have been commenced are placed
on non-accrual status.

         Non-performing  assets.  At June 30,  1998,  $279,000,  or 0.66% of the
Company's total assets, were non-performing loans (loans delinquent more than 90
days and non-accruing loans) compared to $562,000,  or 1.32%, of total assets at
June 30, 1997. At June 30, 1997,  residential loans and consumer loans accounted
for  96.7%  and 3.3%,  respectively,  of  non-performing  loans.  There  were no
non-accruing  investments  at June 30, 1998. As of June 30, 1998,  the Bank held
$212,000 of Real Estate Owned ("REO")  properties  and $8,000 other  repossessed
properties.

         The table  below sets forth the amounts  and  categories  of the Bank's
non-performing assets.

                                                    At June 30,

(1)  The Bank  generally  places loans on a  non-accruing  status when the loans
     become  contractually past due 90 days or more. At June 30, 1998,  $271,000
     of  non-accruing  loans were  residential  loans and $8,000  were  consumer
     loans.  Additional interest income that would have been recorded had income
     on  nonaccruing  loans been  considered  collectible  and  accounted for in
     accordance  with their  original  terms was $23,000 for the year ended June
     30, 1998.

(1)      The number of days a loan is  delinquent  is measured  from the day the
         payment was due under the terms of the loan agreement.

(2)      Of such amount,  $533,000 consists of residential real estate loans and
         $39,000 consists of nonresidential real estate and consumer loans.

         Classified assets. The Bank's Asset Classification  Policy provides for
the  classification of loans and other assets such as debt and equity securities
considered  to be of  lesser  quality  as  "substandard,"  "doubtful"  or "loss"
assets. An asset is considered  "substandard" if it is inadequately protected by
the  current net worth and paying  capacity of the obligor or of the  collateral
pledged,  if  any.  "Substandard"  assets  include  those  characterized  by the
"distinct  possibility"  that the  institution  will sustain  "some loss" if the
deficiencies are not corrected.  Assets classified as "doubtful" have all of the
weaknesses   inherent  in  those  classified   "substandard,"   with  the  added
characteristic  that the weaknesses  present make  "collection or liquidation in
full," on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions,  and values "highly
questionable and improbable."  Assets  classified as "loss" are those considered
"uncollectible"  and of such  little  value  that  their  continuance  as assets
without the  establishment  of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.  Assets
which do not currently  expose the insured  institution  to  sufficient  risk to
warrant  classification in one of the  aforementioned  categories but do possess
weaknesses are required to be designated "special mention" by management.

         An insured  institution is required to establish general allowances for
loan  losses in an amount  deemed  prudent by  management  for loans  classified
substandard or doubtful,  as well as for other problem loans. General allowances
represent loss allowances  which have been established to recognize the inherent
risk associated with lending activities,  but which, unlike specific allowances,
have  not  been  allocated  to  particular  problem  assets.   When  an  insured
institution  classifies  problem  assets as  "loss,"  it is  required  either to
establish  a specific  allowance  for losses  equal to 100% of the amount of the
asset so classified or to charge off such amount.

         At June 30, 1998, the aggregate amount of the Bank's  classified assets
and of the Bank's general and specific loss allowances were as follows:

         The Company  regularly  reviews its loan portfolio to determine whether
any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.  Not
all of the Company's classifed assets constitute non-performing assets.

Allowance for Loan Losses

         The allowance  for loan losses is maintained  through the provision for
loan losses,  which is charged to  earnings.  The  provision  for loan losses is
determined in  conjunction  with  management's  review and evaluation of current
economic conditions (including those of the Bank's lending area), changes in the
character and size of the loan portfolio,  loan delinquencies (current status as
well as past and  anticipated  trends) and adequacy of collateral  securing loan
delinquencies,  historical and estimated net  charge-offs,  and other  pertinent
information  derived  from a  review  of the  loan  portfolio.  In  management's
opinion,  the Bank's allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb anticipated
future  losses from loans at June 30, 1997.  However,  there can be no assurance
that  regulators,  when reviewing the Bank's loan portfolio in the future,  will
not require  increases  in its  allowances  for loan  losses or that  changes in
economic conditions will not adversely affect the Bank's loan portfolio.

         Summary of Loan Loss  Experience.  The following table analyzes changes
in the allowance for loan losses during the past five (5) one-year periods ended
June 30, 1998.

Sources of Funds

         General.  Deposits have traditionally been the Bank's primary source of
funds for use in lending and investment activities. In addition to deposits, the
Bank derives funds from  scheduled  loan payments,  loan  prepayments,  retained
earnings and income on earning assets.  While scheduled loan payments and income
on earning assets are relatively  stable sources of funds,  deposit  inflows and
outflows can vary widely and are influenced by prevailing interest rates, market
conditions and levels of  competition.  Borrowings from the FHLB of Indianapolis
may be used in the  short-term  to  compensate  for  reductions  in  deposits or
deposit inflows at less than projected levels.

         Deposits. Deposits are attracted,  principally from within Owen County,
through  the  offering of a broad  selection  of deposit  instruments  including
fixed-rate  certificates of deposit,  NOW and other  transaction  accounts,  and
savings  accounts.  Substantially  all of the Bank's depositors are residents of
Owen County and the five surrounding  counties of Putnam,  Clay, Greene,  Monroe
and Morgan. Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the
minimum balance required, the amount of time the funds remain on deposit and the
interest rate. The Bank does not pay a fee for any deposits it receives.

         Interest  rates  paid,  maturity  terms,  service  fees and  withdrawal
penalties are  established  by the Bank on a periodic  basis.  Determination  of
rates and terms are predicated on funds acquisition and liquidity  requirements,
rates paid by competitors,  growth goals, and applicable  regulations.  The Bank
relies,  in part,  on customer  service  and  long-standing  relationships  with
customers  to attract  and  retain its  deposits,  but also  closely  prices its
deposits in relation to rates offered by its competitors.

         The flow of deposits is influenced  significantly  by general  economic
conditions,   changes  in  money  market  and  prevailing   interest  rates  and
competition.  The variety of deposit accounts offered by the Bank has allowed it
to be competitive in obtaining funds and to respond with  flexibility to changes
in  consumer  demand.  The  Bank  has  become  more  susceptible  to  short-term
fluctuations  in deposit  flows as  customers  have  become more  interest  rate
conscious.  The Bank  manages  the pricing of its  deposits in keeping  with its
asset/liability   management  and   profitability   objectives.   Based  on  its
experience,  the Bank believes that its passbook,  NOW and  non-interest-bearing
checking  accounts  are  relatively  stable  sources of deposits.  However,  the
ability of the Bank to attract and  maintain  certificates  of deposit,  and the
rates paid on these  deposits,  have been and will continue to be  significantly
affected by market conditions.

         During fiscal year 1997, the Bank began offering to its customers a new
deposit  product  called the "Money  Management  Account." The Money  Management
Account is similar to a money market checking account, but customers do not have
check writing  privileges.  Funds may be transferred  from  non-interest-bearing
accounts  or  interest-bearing  accounts  paying  lower  rates  into  the  Money
Management  Account.  Funds may also be  transferred  from the Money  Management
Account  into  other  accounts  at the Bank  when such  funds are  needed by the
customer. The number of fund transfers per month is limited by the Bank, and the
Money Management Account has a minimum required balance of $5,000. The Bank also
began offering  individual  retirement  account ("IRA")  certificates of deposit
during fiscal year 1997.

         Borrowings.  The Bank focuses on generating loans by utilizing the best
source of funding from deposits,  investments  or borrowings.  At June 30, 1998,
the Bank had $8.2  million in  borrowings  from the FHLB of  Indianapolis  which
mature on various  dates  primarily  during the years 2000 through 2005 and have
interest  rates ranging from 5.90% to 6.86%.  The Bank does not  anticipate  any
difficulty in obtaining  advances  appropriate to meet its  requirements  in the
future.  The Bank had $22.7 million in eligible  assets  available as collateral
for advances  from the FHLB of  Indianapolis  as of June 30, 1998.  Based on the
Bank's blanket  collateral  agreements,  advances from the FHLB of  Indianapolis
must be  collateralized  by 170%  of  eligible  assets.  Therefore,  the  Bank's
eligible collateral would have supported approximately $13.3 million in advances
from the FHLB of Indianapolis as of June 30, 1998. However,  the Bank's Board of
Directors has by resolution limited the amount of authorized borrowings to $13.0
million at June 30, 1998.

Service Corporation Subsidiary

         BSF, Inc.,  the Bank's  service  corporation  subsidiary  ("BSF"),  was
organized in 1989 and has historically  engaged in the purchasing and developing
of large tracts of real estate. After land was acquired, BSF subdivided the real
estate into lots, made  improvements  such as streets and sold individual  lots,
usually on contract.  Each subdivision has separate restrictive  covenants,  but
most permit mobile or modular homes. Each of BSF's  subdivisions is described in
detail below.

         On  April  6,  1989,  BSF  purchased  the  128  acre  10  O'Clock  Line
subdivision  in Owen County for  $110,000.  The purchase was funded by a capital
infusion  from the  Bank.  At that  time,  the  appraised  value of the land was
$180,000.  The property was divided into 19 separate tracts and sold on contract
to buyers.  The actual selling price per acre of tracts sold was slightly higher
than the original  predicted selling price. The total sales price for all tracts
of land was over $300,000.

         On May 21, 1991,  BFS purchased a 215 acre tract of heavily wooded land
in Greene  County,  Indiana,  now known as the  Greene  Woods  subdivision,  for
$92,500. BSF divided this tract into sixteen parcels, all of which had been sold
on contract at June 30, 1996,  and built one large lake and three small lakes in
this subdivision.  As of June 30, 1998, eleven of the Greene Woods contracts had
been paid in full, and title to the  corresponding  parcels had been transferred
to the  purchasers.  The  aggregate  sales price for the sixteen  parcels in the
Greene Woods subdivision was $257,605.

         On May 8, 1992, BFS purchased  approximately 60 acres of land now known
as the Watkins Farm  subdivision  for $32,000.  This property is also located in
Greene  County,  Indiana.  Prior to dividing this parcel into the three existing
tracts of land, BSF cleared and sold approximately $26,000 of timber. As of June
30,  1998,  BSF had sold two of these  tracts  for cash and the  other  tract on
contract. The aggregate sales price for these three parcels totalled $86,157.

         On May 21, 1993, BSF purchased  approximately  16 acres of land in Owen
County for  $58,500.  BSF divided  this  property,  now known as the County Line
East,  subdivision,  into sixteen  separate  parcels and  installed  underground
power,  telephone,  cable  television  and water lines.  As of June 30, 1998, 15
parcels  had been  sold for an  aggregate  sales  price of  $366,757.  The total
remaining investment in County Line East was approximately $8,000 as of June 30,
1998.


<PAGE>

         On November 29, 1993, BSF purchased  approximately thirty acres of land
located  in Owen  County  for  $20,359.  This  land,  now known as the Coon Path
subdivision,  was  divided  into ten  separate  tracts of land,  [three of which
remained  unsold at June 30, 1998.  The aggregate  sales price for the seven (7)
parcels which had been sold at June 30, 1998 totaled $73,850.  At June 30, 1998,
BSF's total investment in the Coon Path subdivision was approximately $13,000.

         On February 6, 1992,  BSF purchased  four  contracts  with an aggregate
balance of $123,875 from an Owen County couple for a discounted principal amount
of $87,500.  At June 30, 1998, only one of such contracts remained  outstanding.
BSF also held a second  contract at June 30, 1998,  which was  purchased  from a
probate estate in 1992.

         BSF,  from time to time,  keeps a number of its tracts for mobile  home
repossession.  BSF  purchases  repossessed  mobile  homes  from the Bank at book
value. The mobile homes are then placed on the vacant tracts of land and sold by
BSF, thereby protecting the Bank from related losses. Currently, the Bank has no
mobile homes on lots waiting for sale.

         BSF pays the Bank rent of $500 per month for the use of its  facilities
and  management  and staff  support.  The  operations  of BSF are managed by the
Bank's and the Holding Company's Chairman,  Frank R. Stewart.  All of the Bank's
directors  serve as  directors  of BSF,  and  BSF's  executive  officers  are as
follows:

             Frank R. Stewart                      President
             Robert W. Raper                       Vice President
             Charles W. Chambers                   Secretary and Treasurer

         In  connection  with the Bank's  conversion to an Indiana stock savings
bank,  the  FDIC  required  the  Bank  to  (i)  immediately   cease  BSF's  land
acquisitions,  (ii) divest BSF's non-conforming real estate holdings within five
years (or by November 16, 2000),  provided,  however,  the Bank is not precluded
from  requesting  an extension of the  divestiture  period,  and (iii)  maintain
capital  at  levels  sufficient  to  classify  the  Bank  as a  well-capitalized
institution.  The FDIC's  authorization  for the Bank and BSF to  undertake  the
required  divestiture  of  BSF's  non-conforming  real  estate  holdings  over a
five-year  period is  conditioned  on, among other things,  BSF continuing to be
satisfactorily  capitalized  and operated  separately for the Bank, and the Bank
and BSF  complying  with  Sections  23A and 23B of the  Federal  Reserve  Act in
connection with future  transactions  between the Bank and BSF. BSF is currently
completing the divestiture of its real estate  holdings.  It is anticipated that
this divestiture  will be accomplished  through the sale of the parcels to BSF's
contract  purchasers who will obtain  mortgage loans from the Bank to facilitate
their  purchase of the  parcels.  As parcels  are  purchased  by BSF's  contract
purchasers,  BSF and such  purchasers  will  terminate  the  corresponding  land
contracts.  The Bank currently  anticipates that all non-conforming  real estate
will be sold prior to November 16, 2000 as required by the FDIC.

         At June 30, 1998, the Bank's aggregate  investment in BSF was $439,000.
The  consolidated  statements of income of the Bank and its subsidiary  included
elsewhere  herein  include the operations of BSF. All  significant  intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Employees

         As of June 30,  1998,  the  Company  employed 20 persons on a full-time
basis and three persons on a part-time basis. None of the Company's employees is
represented by a collective bargaining group.  Management considers its employee
relations to be excellent.

         The Company's employee benefits for full-time employees include,  among
other things, a Pentegra  (formerly known as Financial  Institutions  Retirement
Fund) defined benefit pension plan ("Pension Plan"), a Pentegra thrift plan, and
major medical,  dental, and short-term and long-term  disability  insurance.  As
part of the conversion to stock form, the Company established the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan and Trust ("ESOP") and the Management  Recognition  and Retention
Plan and Trust ("RRP").  In October,  1997, the shareholders  approved the Stock
Option Plan. The ESOP, RRP and the Stock Option Plan are employee  benefit plans
designed to provide  directors and employees of the Bank and the Holding Company
with ownership interest in the Company.

         Employee  benefits are considered by management to be competitive  with
those offered by other financial  institutions and major employers in the Bank's
area.

                                   COMPETITION

         The  Bank  originates  most of its  loans  to and  accepts  most of its
deposits  from  residents  of Owen  County,  Indiana.  The  Bank  is the  oldest
continuously  operating  financial  institution  headquartered  in Owen  County,
Indiana.
         The Bank is subject to competition from various financial institutions,
including  state and national  banks,  state and federal  savings  institutions,
credit unions, and certain non-banking  consumer lenders, and other companies or
firms,  including  brokerage  houses and mortgage  brokers that provide  similar
services in Owen  County.  The Bank also  competes  with money market funds with
respect  to  deposit  accounts  and with  insurance  companies  with  respect to
individual retirement accounts.

         Under  current  law,  bank  holding   companies  may  acquire   savings
associations.  Savings associations may also acquire banks under federal law. To
date,  several bank holding  company  acquisitions  of savings  associations  in
Indiana have been  completed.  Affiliations  between  banks and healthy  savings
associations  based in Indiana may also  increase the  competition  faced by the
Company.

         In  addition,   The  Riegle-Neal   Interstate   Banking  and  Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Riegle-Neal Act") permits bank holding companies to
acquire banks in other states and,  with state  consent to certain  limitations,
allows banks to acquire  out-of-state  branches either through merger or de novo
expansion.  The State of Indiana recently passed a law  establishing  interstate
branching  provisions for Indiana state  chartered  banks  consistent with those
established by the Riegle-Neal Act (the "Indiana  Branching  Law").  The Indiana
Branching Law authorizes Indiana banks to branch interstate by merger or de novo
expansion and authorizes  out-of-state  banks meeting  certain  requirements  to
branch into Indiana by merger or de novo  expansion.  The Indiana  Branching Law
became  effective March 15, 1996,  provided that interstate  mergers and de novo
branches  are not  permitted to out of state banks unless the laws of their home
states  permit  Indiana  banks to  merge  or  establish  de novo  branches  on a
reciprocal basis.
This new legislation may also result in increased competition for the Company.

         Because of recent changes in federal law,  interstate  acquisitions  of
banks are less restricted than they were under prior law.  Savings  associations
have certain powers to acquire savings  associations  based in other states, and
Indiana  law  expressly  permits  reciprocal   acquisition  of  Indiana  savings
associations.  In addition, Federal savings associations are permitted to branch
on an  interstate  basis.  See  "Regulation--Acquisitions  or  Dispositions  and
Branching."


<PAGE>

         The primary  factors in competing  for deposits are interest  rates and
convenience  of  office  locations.  The Bank  competes  for  loan  originations
primarily  through the efficiency and quality of services it provides  borrowers
and through interest rates and loan fees it charges. Competition is affected by,
among other things,  the general  availability  of lendable  funds,  general and
local economic conditions, current interest rate levels, and other factors which
are not readily predictable.


                                   REGULATION

Bank Holding Company Regulation

         The Holding  Company is  registered as a bank holding  company,  and is
subject to the  regulations  of the FRB under the Bank  Holding  Company  Act of
1956, as amended ("BHCA").  Bank holding companies are required to file periodic
reports with, and are subject to periodic  examination  by, the FRB. The FRB has
issued regulations under the BHCA requiring a bank holding company to serve as a
source of financial and managerial  strength to its subsidiary  banks. It is the
policy of the FRB that,  pursuant to this  requirement,  a bank holding  company
should stand ready to use its resources to provide adequate capital funds to its
subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity.  Additionally,
under  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  Improvement  Act  of  1991
("FedICIA"),  a bank holding  company is required to guarantee the compliance of
any insured depository institution subsidiary that may become "undercapitalized"
(as defined in the statute) with the terms of any capital restoration plan filed
by such subsidiary with its appropriate  federal banking agency up to the lesser
of (i) an amount equal to 5% of the  institution's  total assets at the time the
institution  became  undercapitalized;  or (ii) the amount that is necessary (or
would have been  necessary) to bring the  institution  into  compliance with all
applicable capital standards as of the time the institution fails to comply with
such capital  restoration  plan.  Under the BHCA,  the FRB has the  authority to
require a bank holding  company to terminate any activity or relinquish  control
of a nonbank  subsidiary  (other than a nonbank  subsidiary  of a bank) upon the
FRB's  determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to
the financial soundness and stability of any bank subsidiary of the bank holding
company.

         The Holding Company is prohibited by the BHCA from acquiring  direct or
indirect  control  of more  than 5% of the  outstanding  shares  of any class of
voting  stock or  substantially  all of the  assets  of any bank or  merging  or
consolidating  with another bank holding  company  without prior approval of the
FRB.  Additionally,  the Holding Company is prohibited by the BHCA from engaging
in or from  acquiring  ownership  or control of more than 5% of the  outstanding
shares of any class of  voting  stock of any  company  engaged  in a  nonbanking
business  unless such business is determined by the FRB to be so closely related
to banking as to be a proper incident thereto. The U.S. House of Representatives
recently  approved  a bill  (H.R.  10) which  includes  a  provision  that would
generally relax these ownership restrictions for bank holding companies. If this
provision  were to become law, the Holding  Company would be permitted to engage
in activities and to acquire  equity  interests in companies that are prohibited
under current law.  There can be no assurance that such bill will become law and
it is uncertain what effect such a law would have on the industry or the Holding
Company.


<PAGE>

Capital Adequacy Guidelines for Bank Holding Companies

         The FRB is the federal  regulatory  and  examining  authority  for bank
holding  companies.  The FRB has adopted  capital  adequacy  guidelines for bank
holding companies.

         Bank holding companies are required to comply with the FRB's risk-based
capital   guidelines   which  require  a  minimum  ratio  of  total  capital  to
risk-weighted  assets  (including  certain  off-balance sheet activities such as
standby  letters of credit) of 8%. At least half of the total  required  capital
must be "Tier I capital," consisting principally of common stockholders' equity,
qualifying   noncumulative  perpetual  preferred  stock,  qualifying  cumulative
perpetual  preferred  stock and  minority  interests  in the equity  accounts of
consolidated  subsidiaries,  less  goodwill and certain  intangible  items.  The
remainder  ("Tier II capital") may consist of a limited  amount of  subordinated
debt and  intermediate-term  preferred stock, certain hybrid capital instruments
and other debt  securities,  perpetual  preferred stock, and a limited amount of
the  general  loan  loss  allowance.  In  addition  to  the  risk-based  capital
guidelines,  the FRB has adopted a Tier I (leverage)  capital  ratio under which
the bank  holding  company  must  maintain a minimum  level of Tier I capital to
average total  consolidated  assets of 3% in the case of bank holding  companies
which have the highest regulatory  examination ratings and are not contemplating
significant  growth or expansion.  All other bank holding companies are expected
to maintain a ratio of at least 1% to 2% above the stated minimum.

Bank Regulation

         The Bank is  organized  under the laws of the State of  Indiana  and as
such is subject to the  supervision of the Department of Financial  Institutions
("DFI"),  whose examiners conduct periodic examinations of state banks. In 1994,
the Bank converted from a federal savings bank to an Indiana savings bank. Prior
to such conversion,  it was subject to regulation at the federal level primarily
by the  Office of Thrift  Supervision  ("OTS").  The Bank is not a member of the
Federal Reserve System,  so its principal  federal  regulator is the FDIC, which
also conducts periodic examinations of the Bank. The Bank's deposits continue to
be insured by the SAIF  administered by the FDIC and are subject to FDIC's rules
and  regulations  respecting  the  insurance of deposits.  See "--  Insurance of
Deposits".

         Both federal and state law extensively  regulate various aspects of the
banking   business   such  as   reserve   requirements,   truth-in-lending   and
truth-in-savings  disclosure,  equal credit opportunity,  fair credit reporting,
trading in securities and other aspects of banking  operations.  Current federal
law also requires banks,  among other things,  to make deposited funds available
within specified time periods.

         Insured   state-chartered  banks  are  prohibited  under  FedICIA  from
engaging as principal in activities  that are not permitted for national  banks,
unless: (i) the FDIC determines that the activity would pose no significant risk
to the appropriate  deposit  insurance fund; and (ii) the bank is, and continues
to be, in compliance with all applicable capital  standards.  As a result of its
conversion to an Indiana  savings  bank,  the Bank is required to cease the real
estate development operations and divest the non-conforming real estate holdings
of BSF. See "Business -- Service Corporation Subsidiary."


<PAGE>

Federal Home Loan Bank System

         The Bank is a member of the FHLB System,  which consists of 12 regional
banks. The FHFB, independent agency, controls the FHLB System including the FHLB
of  Indianapolis.  The FHLB System provides a central credit facility  primarily
for member  savings and loan  associations  and savings  banks and other  member
financial institutions.  The Bank is required to hold shares of capital stock in
the FHLB of Indianapolis in an amount at least equal to the greater of 1% of the
aggregate  principal  amount of its  unpaid  residential  mortgage  loans,  home
purchase  contracts and similar  obligations  at the end of each calendar  year,
0.3% of its assets or 1/20 (or such greater fraction established by the FHLB) of
outstanding FHLB advances,  commitments,  lines of credit and letters of credit.
The Bank is currently in compliance with this requirement. At June 30, 1998, the
Bank's investment in stock of the FHLB of Indianapolis was $500,000.

         In past years,  the Bank has received  dividends on its FHLB stock. All
12 FHLBs are  required by law to provide  funds for the  resolution  of troubled
savings associations and to establish affordable housing programs through direct
loans or  interest  subsidies  on  advances to members to be used for lending at
subsidized interest rates for low- and moderate-income,  owner-occupied  housing
projects, affordable rental housing, and certain other community projects. These
contributions  and obligations  could adversely affect the FHLB's ability to pay
dividends and the value of FHLB stock in the future. For the year ended June 30,
1998,  dividends paid to the Bank by the FHLB of Indianapolis  totaled  $40,000,
for an annual rate of 8.06%.

         The FHLB of Indianapolis serves as a reserve or central bank for member
institutions  within its assigned  region.  It is funded primarily from proceeds
derived from the sale of consolidated  obligations of the FHLB System.  It makes
advances to members in accordance  with policies and  procedures  established by
the FHFB and the Board of Directors of the FHLB of Indianapolis.

         All FHLB advances  must be fully  secured by  sufficient  collateral as
determined  by the FHLB.  Current law  prescribes  eligible  collateral as first
mortgage loans less than 90 days delinquent or securities  evidencing  interests
therein,  securities (including  mortgage-backed  securities) issued, insured or
guaranteed by the federal  government or any agency thereof,  FHLB deposits and,
to a limited  extent,  real estate with readily  ascertainable  value in which a
perfected  security  interest may be obtained.  Other forms of collateral may be
accepted as over  collateralization  or, under certain  circumstances,  to renew
outstanding  advances.  All long-term advances are required to provide funds for
residential  home financing and the FHLB has established  standards of community
service that members must meet to maintain access to long-term advances.

         Interest rates charged for advances vary  depending upon maturity,  the
cost of funds to the FHLB of Indianapolis and the purpose of the borrowing.

Insurance of Deposits

         The FDIC is an independent federal agency that insures the deposits, up
to prescribed  statutory  limits, of banks and thrifts and safeguards the safety
and soundness of the banking and thrift  industries.  The FDIC  administers  two
separate  insurance  funds, the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") for commercial banks
and state  savings  banks and the SAIF for savings  associations  and banks that
have  acquired  deposits  from  savings  associations.  The FDIC is  required to
maintain  designated  levels of  reserves in each fund.  Currently,  thrifts may
convert  from one  insurance  fund to the other upon payment of certain exit and
entrance  fees.  Such fees need not be paid if a SAIF member  converts to a bank
charter or merges with a bank,  as long as the resulting  bank  continues to pay
the applicable insurance  assessments to the SAIF during such period and as long
as certain other conditions are met.  Consequently,  although the Bank converted
to a state savings bank in 1994, the Bank's  deposits  continue to be insured by
the SAIF.


<PAGE>

         The FDIC is authorized to establish  separate annual  assessment  rates
for deposit  insurance for members of the BIF and members of the SAIF.  The FDIC
may increase assessment rates for either fund if necessary to restore the fund's
ratio of reserves to insured  deposits to the target  level  within a reasonable
time and may decrease such rates if such target level has been met. The FDIC has
established a risk-based assessment system for both SAIF and BIF members.  Under
this system, assessments vary depending on the risk the institution poses to its
deposit insurance fund. Such risk level is determined based on the institution's
capital level and the FDIC's level of supervisory concern about the institution.

         For the  first six  months of 1995,  the  assessment  schedule  for BIF
members and SAIF members  ranged from .23% to .31% of  deposits.  As is the case
with the SAIF, the FDIC is authorized to adjust the insurance  premium rates for
banks that are insured by the BIF of the FDIC in order to  maintain  the reserve
ratio of the BIF at  1.25%  of  BIF-insured  deposits.  As a  result  of the BIF
reaching  its  statutory  reserve  ratio,  the FDIC in 1995  revised the premium
schedule  for BIF  insured  institutions  to  provide a range of .04% to .31% of
deposits.  The revisions  became effective in the third quarter of 1995. At that
time, healthy  BIF-insured banks paid premiums of approximately $.04 per $100 in
deposits  compared  to $.23 per $100 in  deposits  paid by healthy  SAIF-insured
institutions.  The BIF rates were further  revised,  effective  January 1996, to
provide  a range of 0% to  .27%,  eliminating  insurance  premiums  for  healthy
BIF-insured banks. The SAIF rates,  however,  were not adjusted. At the time the
FDIC revised the BIF premium schedule,  it noted that, absent legislative action
(as discussed  below),  the SAIF would not attain its  designated  reserve ratio
until the year 2002.  As a result,  SAIF-insured  members  would  continue to be
generally  subject  to  higher  deposit  insurance   premiums  than  BIF-insured
institutions  until,  all things  being  equal,  the SAIF  attained its required
reserve ratio of 1.25% of BIF-insured deposits.

         In order to eliminate this disparity and any  competitive  disadvantage
between  BIF and SAIF  member  institutions  with  respect to deposit  insurance
premiums,  legislation to  recapitalize  the SAIF was enacted in September 1996.
The legislation provided for a one time assessment to be imposed on all deposits
assessed at the SAIF rates, as of March 31, 1995, in order to  recapitalize  the
SAIF.  It also  provided  for the  merger of the BIF and the SAIF on  January 1,
1999, if no savings  associations  then exist.  The special  assessment rate was
established  by the FDIC at .657% of deposits,  and the resulting  assessment of
$142,000  before  taxes on the Bank was paid in  November,  1996.  This  special
assessment  significantly  increased  noninterest expense and adversely affected
the Holding  Company's results of operations for the three months ended December
31, 1996. As a result of the special  assessment,  the Bank's deposit  insurance
premiums  were  reduced  to $.06 per $100 in  deposits  upon  its  current  risk
classification  and the new assessment  schedule for SAIF-insured  institutions.
These premiums are subject to change in future periods.

         Prior  to the  enactment  of the  legislation,  a  portion  of the SAIF
assessment imposed on savings  associations was used to repay obligations issued
by a federally  chartered  corporation  to provide  financing  for resolving the
thrift crisis in the 1980s.  Although the FDIC has equalized the SAIF assessment
schedule with the BIF  assessment  schedule,  SAIF-insured  institutions  remain
subject  to a  Financing  Corporation  ("FICO")  assessment  as a result of this
continuing obligation. Although the legislation also now requires assessments to
be made on BIF-assessable deposits for this purpose,  effective January 1, 1997,
that  assessment  is  limited  to 20% of the  rate  imposed  on SAIF  assessable
deposits until the earlier of September 30, 1999, or when no savings association
continues  to  exist,   thereby   imposing  a  greater  burden  on  SAIF  member
institutions such as the Bank.  Thereafter,  however,  assessments on BIF-member
institutions  are  expected  to  be  made  on  the  same  basis  as  SAIF-member
institutions.

Regulatory Capital

         The FDIC has adopted  risk-based  capital ratio guidelines to which the
Bank  generally is subject.  The  guidelines  establish a systematic  analytical
framework  that  makes  regulatory   capital   requirements  more  sensitive  to
differences in risk profiles  among banking  organizations.  Risk-based  capital
ratios are  determined by  allocating  assets and  specified  off-balance  sheet
commitments  to four risk  weighted  categories,  with higher  levels of capital
being required for the categories perceived as representing greater risk.

         Like the  capital  guidelines  established  by the FRB for the  Holding
Company, these guidelines divide a bank's capital into two tiers. The first tier
("Tier I") includes common equity,  non-cumulative  perpetual  preferred  stock,
including  any related  surplus,  and minority  interests in equity  accounts of
consolidated  subsidiaries,  less goodwill and certain other  intangible  assets
(except  mortgage  servicing  rights and  purchased  credit card  relationships,
subject to certain  limitations).  Supplementary  ("Tier II") capital  includes,
among other items, cumulative perpetual and long-term preferred stock, mandatory
convertible  securities,  certain hybrid capital instruments,  term subordinated
debt  and  the  allowance  for  loan  and  lease  losses,   subject  to  certain
limitations,  less required  deductions.  Banks are required to maintain a total
risk-based  capital  ratio of 8%, of which 4% must be Tier I  capital.  The FDIC
may,  however,   set  higher  capital  requirements  when  a  bank's  particular
circumstances warrant. Banks experiencing or anticipating significant growth are
expected to maintain capital ratios, including tangible capital positions,  well
above the minimum levels.

         In addition, the FDIC established guidelines prescribing a minimum Tier
I leverage  ratio (Tier I capital to adjusted  total  assets as specified in the
guidelines).  These guidelines provide for a minimum Tier I leverage ratio of 3%
for banks that meet certain  specified  criteria,  including  that they have the
highest  regulatory rating and are not experiencing or anticipating  significant
growth.  All other banks are required to maintain a Tier I leverage  ratio of 3%
plus an additional cushion of at least 100 to 200 basis points.

         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 BSF, the Bank's subsidiary.
The FDIC currently  requires that the Bank maintain  capital (after deduction of
its  investment in BSF) at levels  sufficient for the Bank to be classified as a
well-capitalized  institution  (i.e.,  total risk-based  capital ratio of 10% or
greater,  Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, and leverage capital
ratio of 5% or  greater).  The Bank  currently  exceeds its  heightened  capital
requirements.

Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action

         FedICIA   requires,   among  other  things,   federal  bank  regulatory
authorities to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to banks that do not
meet minimum capital requirements.  For these purposes, FedICIA establishes five
capital  tiers:  well  capitalized,  adequately  capitalized,  undercapitalized,
significantly  undercapitalized,  and critically  undercapitalized.  At June 30,
1998, the Bank was categorized as "well capitalized."

         An  institution  is deemed to be "well  capitalized"  if it has a total
risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of
6% or greater,  and a leverage  ratio of 5% or greater,  and is not subject to a
regulatory order, agreement or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital
level for any  capital  measure.  An  institution  is  deemed to be  "adequately
capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater, a Tier
I risk-based  capital ratio of 4% or greater,  and generally a leverage ratio 4%
or greater. An institution is deemed to be  "undercapitalized" if it has a total
risk-based  capital ratio of less than 8%, a Tier I risk-based  capital ratio of
less  than  4%,  or  generally  a  leverage  ratio  of  less  than  4%;  and (d)
"significantly  undercapitalized"  if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of
less than 6%, a Tier I risk-based  capital  ratio of less than 3%, or a leverage
ratio  of  less  than  3%.   An   institution   is  deemed  to  be   "critically
undercapitalized"  if it has a ratio  of  tangible  equity  (as  defined  in the
regulations) to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%.


<PAGE>

         "Undercapitalized"  institutions are subject to growth  limitations and
are  required to submit a capital  restoration  plan.  If an  "undercapitalized"
institution  fails to submit,  or fails to implement in a material  respect,  an
acceptable  plan,  it is treated as if it is  "significantly  undercapitalized."
"Significantly  undercapitalized"  institutions  are subject to one or more of a
number of requirements and restrictions,  including an order by the FDIC to sell
sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce
total  assets and cease  receipt  of  deposits  from  correspondent  banks,  and
restrictions    on    compensation    of   executive    officers.    "Critically
undercapitalized"  institutions  may  not,  beginning  60  days  after  becoming
"critically  undercapitalized,"  make any  payment of  principal  or interest on
certain subordinated debt or extend credit for a highly leveraged transaction or
enter into any transaction outside the ordinary course of business. In addition,
"critically  undercapitalized"  institutions  are  subject to  appointment  of a
receiver or conservator.

Dividend Limitations

         Under FRB supervisory  policy, a bank holding company  generally should
not maintain its existing rate of cash dividends on common shares unless (i) the
organization's  net income available to common  shareholders  over the past year
has been sufficient to fully fund the dividends and (ii) the prospective rate of
earnings  retention appears  consistent with the  organization's  capital needs,
asset  quality,  and overall  financial  condition.  The FDIC also has authority
under the Financial Institutions  Supervisory Act to prohibit a bank from paying
dividends  if, in its opinion,  the payment of  dividends  would  constitute  an
unsafe or unsound  practice  in light of the  financial  condition  of the bank.
Under Indiana law, the Holding  Company is precluded  from paying cash dividends
if, after giving effect to such  dividends,  the Holding Company would be unable
to pay its debts as they become due or the Holding  Company's total assets would
be less than its liabilities and obligations to preferential shareholders.

         In connection with the Conversion,  the Bank  established a liquidation
account for the benefit of Eligible  Account Holders and  Supplemental  Eligible
Account Holders.  The Bank will not be permitted to pay dividends to the Holding
Company if its net worth  would be reduced  below the  amount  required  for the
liquidation account.

         Under Indiana law, the Bank may pay  dividends  without DFI approval so
long as its capital is  unimpaired  and those  dividends in any calendar year do
not  exceed  the net  profits  of the Bank for that year plus the  retained  net
profits  of the  Bank for the  previous  two  years.  Dividends  may not  exceed
undivided  profits on hand (less  losses,  bad debts and  expenses).  Additional
stringent  regulatory  requirements  affecting  dividend  payments  by the Bank,
however,  are established by the prompt corrective action provisions of FedICIA,
which are  discussed  above.  The Bank's  capital  levels  currently  exceed the
criteria established to be designated as a "well capitalized" institution.  Such
institutions  are required to have a total  risk-based  capital  ratio of 10% or
greater, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater and a leverage ratio
of 5% or greater. At June 30, 1998, the Bank's total risk-based capital,  Tier I
risk-based  capital and leverage  capital  exceeded  the amounts  required to be
designated "well capitalized" by $4.1 million,  $4.7 million,  and $4.2 million,
respectively.


<PAGE>

Repurchase Limitations

         Regulations  promulgated by the FRB provide that a bank holding company
must file  written  notice  with the FRB prior to any  repurchase  of its equity
securities if the gross consideration for the purchase, when aggregated with the
net  consideration  paid by the bank holding company for all repurchases  during
the preceding 12 months,  is equal to 10% or more of the bank holding  company's
consolidated net worth. This notice requirement is not applicable, however, to a
bank  holding  company  that  exceeds  the  thresholds  established  for a  well
capitalized bank and that satisfies certain other regulatory requirements.

         Under  Indiana  law,  the  Holding   Company  will  be  precluded  from
repurchasing  its equity  securities if, after giving effect to such repurchase,
the Holding  Company  would be unable to pay its debts as they become due or the
Holding  Company's  assets would be less than its liabilities and obligations to
preferential shareholders.

Loans-to-One Borrower

         Under  Indiana  law,  the  total  loans and  extension  of credit by an
Indiana-chartered  savings  bank to a borrower  outstanding  at one time and not
fully secured may not exceed 15% of such bank's capital and unimpaired  surplus.
An additional amount up to 10% of the bank's capital and unimpaired  surplus may
be  loaned  to the same  borrower  if such  loan is  fully  secured  by  readily
marketable  collateral  having a market  value,  as  determined  by reliable and
continuously  available price  quotations,  at least equal to the amount of such
additional loans outstanding.

         As of June 30, 1998,  the largest  aggregate  amount of loans which the
Bank had to any one borrower was approximately  $898,000.  The Bank had no loans
outstanding  which  management  believes  violate  the  applicable  loans-to-one
borrower  limits.  The Company does not believe that the  loans-to-one  borrower
limits will have a significant impact on its business, operations or earnings.

Limitations on Rates Paid for Deposits

         Regulations   promulgated   by  the  FDIC  pursuant  to  FedICIA  place
limitations on the ability of insured depository  institutions to accept,  renew
or roll over  deposits by offering  rates of  interest  which are  significantly
higher  than the  prevailing  rates of  interest  on  deposits  offered by other
insured  depository  institutions  having  the  same  type  of  charter  in such
depository   institution's   normal  market  area.   Under  these   regulations,
"well-capitalized"  depository  institutions  may  accept,  renew  or roll  such
deposits  over  without   restriction,   "adequately   capitalized"   depository
institutions may accept, renew or roll such deposits over with a waiver from the
FDIC   (subject   to   certain   restrictions   on   payments   of  rates)   and
"undercapitalized"  depository  institutions may not accept,  renew or roll such
deposits  over.  The  regulations  contemplate  that  the  definitions  of "well
capitalized,"  "adequately  capitalized" and "undercapitalized" will be the same
as the  definition  adopted by the agencies to implement the  corrective  action
provisions of FedICIA.  The Company does not believe that these regulations will
have a materially adverse effect on its current operations.


<PAGE>

Federal Reserve System

         FRB  regulations  require  savings  associations  and savings  banks to
maintain reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily negotiable order
of  withdrawal  accounts) and certain  nonpersonal  time  deposits.  The reserve
requirements are subject to adjustment by the FRB. As of June 30, 1998, the Bank
was in compliance with the applicable reserve requirements of the FRB.

Additional Limitations on Activities

         FDIC law and regulations generally provide that the Bank may not engage
as  principal  in any type of  activity,  or in any  activity in an amount,  not
permitted  for  national  banks,  or  directly  acquire  or  retain  any  equity
investment of a type or in an amount not permitted for national banks.  The FDIC
has  authority  to grant  exceptions  from these  prohibitions  (other than with
respect to  non-service  corporation  equity  investments)  if it  determines no
significant  risk to the insurance fund is posed by the amount of the investment
or the  activity  to be engaged  in, and if the Bank is and  continues  to be in
compliance with fully phased-in capital standards.  National banks are generally
not  permitted  to  hold  equity   investments  other  than  shares  of  service
corporations and certain federal agency securities.  Moreover, the activities in
which  service  corporations  are  permitted  to engage are  limited to those of
service  corporations  for national  banks.  As a result of its conversion to an
Indiana savings bank, the Bank is required to cease the real estate  development
operations  and divest the  non-conforming  real  estate  holdings  of BSF.  See
"Business -- Service Corporation Subsidiary."

Other Indiana Regulations

         As an  Indiana-chartered  savings bank,  the Bank derives its authority
from,  and is regulated by, the DFI. The DFI has the right to  promulgate  rules
and   regulations    necessary   for   the   supervision   and   regulation   of
Indiana-chartered savings banks under its jurisdiction and for the protection of
the public investing in such institutions.  The regulatory  authority of the DFI
includes, but is not limited to, the establishment of reserve requirements;  the
regulation of the payment of dividends; the regulation of stock repurchases; the
regulation of incorporators,  shareholders,  directors,  officers and employees;
the  establishment  of  permitted  types of  withdrawable  accounts and types of
contracts for savings programs, loans and investments; and the regulation of the
conduct  and   management  of  savings   banks,   chartering  and  branching  of
institutions, mergers, conversions and conflicts of interest.

         The   DFI   generally   conducts   regular   annual   examinations   of
Indiana-chartered   savings  banks  such  as  the  Bank.  The  purpose  of  such
examination is to assure that institutions are being operated in compliance with
applicable  Indiana  law and  regulations  and in a safe and  sound  manner.  In
addition,  the DFI is required to conduct an examination  of any  institution as
often as it deems  necessary.  The DFI has the power to issue  cease and  desist
orders if any person or  institution  is  engaging  in, or has  engaged  in, any
unsafe or unsound practice in the conduct of its business or has or is violating
any other law,  rule or  regulation  and, as to  officers  and  directors  of an
Indiana savings bank, breached his fiduciary duty as an officer or director.

         With the approval of the DFI, a savings  bank may merge or  consolidate
with another  savings bank, a state bank, a national bank, or a federal or state
savings  association.  In  considering  whether to approve or disapprove  such a
merger or  consolidation,  the DFI is to consider  the  following  factors:  (i)
whether the institutions are operated in a safe, sound and prudent manner;  (ii)
whether the financial  conditions of any of the institutions will jeopardize the
financial stability of the other institutions; (iii) whether the proposed merger
or  consolidation  will result in an institution  that has  inadequate  capital,
unsatisfactory   management  or  poor  earnings  prospects;   (iv)  whether  the
management or other  principals of the  resulting  institution  are qualified by
character  and  financial  responsibility  to control and operate in a legal and
proper  manner the  resulting  institution;  (v)  whether the  interests  of the
depositors and creditors of the  institutions  and the public  generally will be
jeopardized by the transaction; and (vi) whether institutions furnish all of the
information the DFI requires in reaching the DFI's decision.


<PAGE>

         Acquisitions  of control of the Bank by a bank or bank holding  company
require the prior approval of the DFI. Control is defined as the power, directly
or  indirectly,   to  (i)  vote  25.0%  or  more  of  the  voting  stock  of  an
Indiana-chartered  savings bank; or (ii) exercise a controlling  influence  over
the management or policies of a savings bank.

Safety and Soundness Standards

         On February 2, 1995, the federal banking  agencies adopted final safety
and soundness standards for all insured depository institutions.  The standards,
which were issued in the form of guidelines rather than  regulations,  relate to
internal   controls,   information   systems,   internal  audit  systems,   loan
underwriting  and  documentation,  compensation  and interest rate exposure.  In
general,  the standards are designed to assist the federal  banking  agencies in
identifying and addressing  problems at insured depository  institutions  before
capital becomes impaired.  If an institution fails to meet these standards,  the
appropriate  federal  banking  agency may  require the  institution  to submit a
compliance  plan.  Failure to submit a compliance plan may result in enforcement
proceedings.  On August 27,  1996,  the  federal  banking  agencies  added asset
quality and earning standards to the safety and soundness guidelines.

Transactions with Affiliates

         The Bank is  subject  to  Sections  22(h),  23A and 23B of the  Federal
Reserve Act, which restrict financial  transactions between banks and affiliated
companies.  The  statute  limits  credit  transactions  between  a bank  and its
executive officers and its affiliates,  prescribes terms and conditions for bank
affiliate  transactions  deemed to be  consistent  with  safe and sound  banking
practices,   and  restricts  the  types  of  collateral  security  permitted  in
connection with a bank's extension of credit to an affiliate.

Federal Securities Law

         The shares of Common Stock of the Holding  Company are registered  with
the SEC under the 1934 Act. The Holding  Company is subject to the  information,
proxy solicitation,  insider trading  restrictions and other requirements of the
1934 Act and the rules of the SEC thereunder. After the third anniversary of the
Bank's  conversion  to stock  form,  if the  Holding  Company has fewer than 300
shareholders  it may  deregister  its shares  under the 1934 Act and cease to be
subject to the foregoing requirements.

         Shares  of Common  Stock  held by  persons  who are  affiliates  of the
Holding Company may not be resold without registration unless sold in accordance
with the resale  restrictions  of Rule 144 under the  Securities Act of 1933, as
amended  (the "1933  Act").  If the Holding  Company  meets the  current  public
information  requirements  under Rule 144, each affiliate of the Holding Company
who complies with the other  conditions of Rule 144 (including  conditions  that
require  the  affiliate's  sale to be  aggregated  with those of  certain  other
persons) would be able to sell in the public  market,  without  registration,  a
number of shares not to exceed, in any three-month period, the greater of (i) 1%
of the  outstanding  shares of the Holding  Company;  or (ii) the average weekly
volume of trading in such shares during the preceding four calendar weeks.

Community Reinvestment Act Matters

          Federal law requires that ratings of depository institutions under the
Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA") be disclosed. The disclosure includes
both   a   four-unit   descriptive   rating   --   outstanding,    satisfactory,
unsatisfactory,  and  needs  improvement  -- and a  written  evaluation  of each
institution's  performance.  Each FHLB is required  to  establish  standards  of
community  investment  or service that its members must  maintain for  continued
access to long-term  advances from the FHLBs.  The standards take into account a
member's  performance under the CRA and its record of lending to first-time home
buyers. The examiners have determined that the Bank has a satisfactory record of
meeting community credit needs.

                                    TAXATION
Federal Taxation

         Historically,  savings  banks have been  permitted  to compute bad debt
deductions using either the bank experience  method or the percentage of taxable
income method. However, for years beginning after December 31, 1995, the Bank is
not able to use the  percentage  of  taxable  income  method  of  computing  its
allocable  tax bad debt  deduction.  The Bank will be  required  to compute  its
allocable  deduction using the experience  method.  As a result of the repeal of
the  percentage of taxable  income  method,  reserves taken after 1987 using the
percentage of taxable income method generally must be included in future taxable
income over a six-year  period,  although a two-year  delay may be permitted for
institutions  meeting a residential mortgage loan origination test. In addition,
the pre-1988  reserve,  in which no deferred taxes have been recorded,  will not
have to be recaptured  into income unless (i) the Bank no longer  qualifies as a
bank under the Code; or (ii) excess dividends are paid out by the Bank.

         Depending  on the  composition  of its items of income and  expense,  a
savings  association  may be subject to the  alternative  minimum tax. A savings
association must pay an alternative  minimum tax equal to the amount (if any) by
which 20% of  alternative  minimum  taxable  income  ("AMTI"),  as reduced by an
exemption  varying with AMTI,  exceeds the regular tax due. AMTI equals  regular
taxable  income   increased  or  decreased  by  certain  tax   preferences   and
adjustments,  including depreciation  deductions in excess of that allowable for
alternative  minimum tax purposes,  tax-exempt interest on most private activity
bonds  issued  after  August 7, 1986  (reduced by any related  interest  expense
disallowed  for  regular  tax  purposes),  the  amount  of the bad debt  reserve
deduction  claimed in excess of the deduction based on the experience method and
75% of the excess of adjusted current earnings over AMTI (before this adjustment
and before any alternative tax net operating loss).  AMTI may be reduced only up
to 90% by net operating loss carryovers, but alternative minimum tax paid can be
credited against regular tax due in later years.

         For federal income tax purposes, the Bank has been reporting its income
and expenses on the accrual method of accounting.  The Bank's federal income tax
returns have not been audited in recent years.

State Taxation

         The Bank is subject to Indiana's  Financial  Institutions  Tax ("FIT"),
which is imposed at a flat rate of 8.5% on "adjusted  gross  income."  "Adjusted
gross  income,"  for purposes of FIT,  begins with taxable  income as defined by
Section 63 of the Code and,  thus,  incorporates  federal  tax law to the extent
that it affects the  computation of taxable  income.  Federal  taxable income is
then adjusted by several Indiana  modifications the most notable of which is the
required  addback of interest  that is tax-free for fedeal  income tax purposes.
Other  applicable state taxes include  generally  applicable sales and use taxes
plus real and personal property taxes.

         The Bank's  state  income tax returns  have not been  audited in recent
years.

                                     PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Shareholder Matters.

         The Bank  converted  from an Indiana  mutual savings bank to an Indiana
stock savings bank  effective  July 1, 1996,  and  simultaneously  formed a bank
holding  company,  the Holding  Company.  The Holding  Company's  common  stock,
without par value  ("Common  Stock"),  is quoted on the National  Association of
Securities  Dealers  Automated  Quotation System  ("NASDAQ"),  Small Cap Market,
under the symbol  "HWEN." As of August 24, 1998,  there were  approximately  540
holders of the Holding  Company's Common Stock,  including shares held in broker
accounts.

         The  following  table  sets  forth  the  high  and low bid  prices  and
dividends  paid per  share of  Common  Stock for the  quarters  indicated.  Such
over-the-counter quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up,
mark-down or commission, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.


         Quarter Ended             High Bid       Low Bid     Dividends Declared
         -------------             --------       -------     ------------------

         December 31, 1996           6 5/8         5  7/8           $.025
         March 31, 1997              7 3/4         6  3/8            .025
         June 30, 1997               7 7/8         7  1/4            .025

         September 30, 1997          8 5/8         7 7/16            .025
         December 31, 1997           9 1/4         8  1/8            .025
         March 31, 1998              9 3/4         8  3/4            .025
         June 30, 1998               9 1/2         8 7/16            .025

         Since  the  Holding  Company  has no  independent  operations  or other
subsidiaries  to generate  income,  its ability to  accumulate  earnings for the
payment of cash  dividends to its  shareholders  is directly  dependant upon the
earnings  on its  investment  securities  and  the  ability  of the  Bank to pay
dividends to the Holding Company.


<PAGE>

         Under  current  federal  income tax law,  dividend  distributions  with
respect to the Common Stock, to the extent that such dividends paid are from the
current or  accumulated  earnings  and  profits of the Bank (as  calculated  for
federal  income  tax  purposes),  will be  taxable  as  ordinary  income  to the
recipient and will not be deductible by the Bank. Any dividend  distributions in
excess of  current or  accumulated  earnings  and  profits  will be treated  for
federal income tax purposes as a distribution  from the Bank's  accumulated  bad
debt reserves,  which could result in increased federal income tax liability for
the Company.  Moreover, the Bank may not pay dividends to the Holding Company if
such  dividends  would  result  in the  impairment  of the  liquidation  account
established in connection with the Conversion.

         The Holding  Company's  ability to pay dividends on the Common Stock is
subject to certain  regulatory  restrictions.  See  "Regulation."  In  addition,
Indiana law would prohibit the Holding  Company from paying a divided,  if after
giving effect to the payment of that dividend,  the Holding Company would not be
able to pay its debts as they become due in the  ordinary  course of business or
if the Holding  Company's  total  assets would be less than the sum of its total
liabilities plus preferential rights of holders of preferred stock, if any.

================================================================================

         Home  Financial  Bancorp (the  "Holding  Company" and together with the
Bank (as  defined  below),  "HFB" or the  "Company")  is an Indiana  corporation
organized  in  February  1996,  to  become  a  bank  holding  company  upon  its
acquisition  of all the issued and  outstanding  capital stock of Owen Community
Bank, s.b. (the "Bank") in connection with the Bank's  conversion from mutual to
stock form. The Holding  Company  became the Bank's  holding  company on July 1,
1996;  therefore,  all historical financial and other data contained for periods
prior  to July 1,  1996  herein  relate  solely  to the  Bank  while  historical
financial  and other data  contained  herein  for the period  after July 1, 1996
relate to the Company.  The  principal  asset of the Holding  Company  currently
consists of 100% of the issued and outstanding  shares of common stock, $.01 par
value per share,  of the Bank. The Bank was organized under the name Owen County
Savings and Loan Association in 1911. In 1972, the Bank converted to a federally
chartered  savings and loan and changed its name to Owen County Federal  Savings
and Loan Association,  and in 1989, the Bank converted to a federally  chartered
savings bank known as Owen Federal  Savings  Bank.  In 1994,  the Bank became an
Indiana  savings bank known as Owen Community  Bank,  s.b. The Bank's  principal
business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and originating
long-term  adjustable-rate  loans secured  primarily by first  mortgage liens on
one- to four-family  real estate.  The Bank's deposit accounts are insured up to
applicable limits by the Savings Association  Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC").

         The Bank is the oldest  continuously  operating  financial  institution
headquartered  in  Owen  County,  Indiana.  Management  believes  the  Bank  has
developed  a solid  reputation  among its loyal  customer  base  because  of its
commitment to personal  service and its strong  support of the local  community.
The Bank offers a number of consumer and commercial  financial  services.  These
services  include:  (i)  residential  real estate  loans;  (ii)  indemnification
mortgage loans ("ID Mortgage Loans");  (iii) mobile home loans; (iv) combination
land-mobile  home loans ("Combo  Loans");  (v)  construction  loans;  (vi) share
loans; (vii)  nonresidential  real estate loans; (viii) multi-family loans; (ix)
installment  loans;  (x) NOW  accounts;  (xi)  demand  deposit  accounts;  (xii)
passbook  savings  accounts;  and (xiii)  certificates  of deposit.  The Company
conducts business out of its main office located in Spencer,  Indiana.  The Bank
is and  historically  has been a significant real estate mortgage lender in Owen
County, Indiana.

FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS AND FRIENDS:

         Another  fiscal  year has come to a close and we are pleased to present
to you the 1998 Annual Report of Home Financial Bancorp.

         Many  positive  events  occurred over the past year in the life of Home
Financial  Bancorp.  Please allow me to highlight a few. As reported to you last
year,  plans  were  under way for a new  branch in the  southern  Putnam  County
community of  Cloverdale.  By the time this report reaches you, our first branch
in  Cloverdale  is  expected  to be  completed  and open for  business.  This is
exciting and we look forward to the  opportunity.  For several  months,  we have
been  preparing   ourselves  by  hiring  and  training  new  staff,   overseeing
construction progress,  purchasing equipment, and tending to many more necessary
details.  Our mission in Cloverdale  will be the same as it has been in Spencer:
to offer our many banking services in a courteous and professional  manner.  Our
focus  will  continue  to be on  attracting  new lower cost  deposits  including
checking  and savings  accounts  in  addition to offering  our full line of loan
products at competitive terms. As a new community bank to Cloverdale, we will do
our best to support the  institutions  and  charities in the  community  through
outright financial support or through volunteer support by our staff.

         We  have  further  demonstrated  our  support  of the  Cloverdale  area
community  by  purchasing  tax  credits  this  past  year  to help  finance  the
construction   of  a  24  unit  senior   citizen   housing   project  in  Cunot.
Groundbreaking  ceremonies  were recently held to mark the official start of the
construction process. Upon completion,  the tax credits purchased will result in
considerable income tax savings for the Company and at the same time fulfill the
additional housing needs of the community.

         During the past year,  several new services were  introduced  including
business  checking,  Roth and  Educational  IRA  accounts,  home equity lines of
credit,  personal lines of credit and wire transfers. We installed our first ATM
machine this spring allowing  customers access to their accounts through the MAC
and Cirrus  network.  An ATM machine has also been  installed at the  Cloverdale
branch.

         This past fall, we  implemented  the use of a loan pricing  matrix into
our loan  administration  process.  This  tool has  allowed  the Bank to be more
competitive in offering  loans to lower credit risk customers  while at the same
time being more appropriately rewarded when offering loans to higher credit risk
customers.

         As many of you are aware by now,  the Year 2000  Computer  problem is a
serious issue that is being  addressed by the banking  industry as well as every
other industry. Management has made vigorous efforts since last fall to organize
and  adhere to  recommended  regulatory  guidelines  to deal with this issue and
allow us to  provide a high  degree of  assurance  to  customers  that  computer
operations will be uninterrupted when the new millennium arrives.  Our staff has
spent  countless  hours  on the  subject  and  considerable  dollars  have  been
allocated  towards  this  project.   At  this  point,  we  feel  confident  that
uninterrupted service will be achieved.

         Last December,  we announced a 2 for 1 stock split which  benefited all
shareholders of record when the  distribution  was completed on January 6, 1998.
This  decision  allowed us to comply  with new NASDAQ  Small Cap Market  listing
requirements and continue to provide liquidity for our stock.  Furthermore,  the
resulting  number of outstanding  shares from the stock split will also allow us
to buy back stock  from time to time  without  falling  below  NASDAQ's  minimum
market float requirements.

         As a fellow  shareholder  and on behalf of everyone  at Home  Financial
Bancorp and its  subsidiary  bank, I pledge to continue to strive for  increased
earnings,  equity, and shareholder value as well as to provide quality financial
services to our community and our customers.

Respectfully submitted,

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations

         The Holding  Company was formed as an Indiana  corporation  on February
21, 1996,  for the purpose of issuing its common  stock,  without par value (the
"Common Stock") and owning all of the outstanding common stock of the Bank to be
issued in the  Conversion as a unitary bank holding  company.  As a newly formed
corporation, the Holding Company has no operating history prior to July 1, 1996.

         The  principal  business  of savings  banks,  including  the Bank,  has
historically consisted of attracting deposits from the general public and making
loans secured by residential real estate.  The Company's  earnings are primarily
dependent upon its net interest income,  the difference  between interest income
and interest expense. Interest income is a function of the balances of loans and
investments outstanding during a given period and the yield earned on such loans
and  investments.  Interest  expense is a function of the amount of deposits and
borrowings  outstanding  during the same period and interest  rates paid on such
deposits and borrowings.  The Company's earnings are also affected by provisions
for loan  losses,  service  charges  and other  non-interest  income,  operating
expenses and income taxes.

         The  Company  is   significantly   affected  by   prevailing   economic
conditions,  as well as government  policies and regulations  concerning,  among
other things,  monetary and fiscal affairs,  housing and financial institutions.
Deposit flows are  influenced by a number of factors,  including  interest rates
paid on competing  investments,  account maturities and level of personal income
and savings within the Bank's market. In addition, deposit growth is affected by
how customers  perceive the stability of the  financial  services  industry amid
various current events such as regulatory  changes,  failures of other financial
institutions and financing of the deposit insurance fund. Lending activities are
influenced by the demand for and supply of housing lenders, the availability and
cost of funds and various other items.  Sources of funds for lending  activities
of the  Company  include  deposits,  payments  on loans,  borrowings  and income
provided from operations.

STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

         The book value of HFB common stock was $8.08 at June 30, 1998.  On this
same date,  the price of HFB Common  Stock was $9.00 per share,  representing  a
15.2%  increase  over the June 30,  1997 price of $7.81 per share.  For the year
ended June 30, 1998,  quarterly  dividends  totaling $.10 per share were paid to
shareholders.

         During the year ended June 30,  1998,  the  Company  declared a 2 for 1
stock  split,  under  which every share of HFB Common  Stock  outstanding  as of
December  23, 1997 was  converted  into two shares of Common  Stock.  HFB Common
Stock is traded on the NASDAQ  SmallCap Market under the symbol HWEN. As of June
30, 1998, there were  approximately 300 shareholders of record,  and 220 holders
who held stock in nominee or "street" name through various  brokerage  firms. At
June 30, 1998, there were 929,052 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

         Management  and the Board of Directors  recognize and  understand  Year
2000 ("Y2K") risk, are active in overseeing corrective efforts, and are ensuring
that all  necessary  resources  are  available  to  address  this  problem.  The
awareness and assessment  phases of the Company's  year 2000 Project  Management
Plan have been completed, and the testing phase is currently under way.

         Management  believes the key to successfully  meeting the Y2K challenge
is prior  testing of all  affected  systems.  The  majority of  mission-critical
systems are provided by On-Line Financial Services,  Inc., Oak Brook,  Illinois.
Management  has  subscribed to a series of extensive Y2K tests that will use the
Bank's  specific  computer  applications  and customer  data.  In  addition,  an
information  technology  professional  has been  retained to assist with testing
in-house systems and third party vendor applications. Substantially, all testing
for mission-critical applications is scheduled to be completed prior to December
31, 1998.

         During  the  remainder  of 1998 and the first  half of  calendar  1999,
management  intends to modify or replace internal system components based on the
results of testing. At this time, management is aware of the need for some minor
equipment  or  software  changes.  Costs  related  to Y2K  issues did not have a
material impact on the Company's fiscal year 1998 financial statements.

         The largest  component of Y2K costs during fiscal year 1999 is expected
to be related to systems testing. Although the full cost of modifications is not
yet known,  management  does not  anticipate a need to invest  heavily in system
improvements to achieve Y2K compliance. At this time, it is estimated that costs
associated with Y2K issues will be less than $50,000 for fiscal year 1999.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

         The Bank's  profitability  is  dependent to a large extent upon its net
interest  income,  which  is the  difference  between  its  interest  income  on
interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities,  and its interest expense
on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Bank, like
other  financial  institutions,  is subject to interest  rate risk to the degree
that its  interest-earning  assets reprice differently than its interest-bearing
liabilities.  The Bank manages its mix of assets and liabilities  with the goals
of limiting its exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and
coordinating its sources and uses of funds.

         The Bank seeks to control its interest  rate risk  exposure in a manner
that will allow for  adequate  levels of earnings  and  capital  over a range of
possible  interest rate  environments.  The Bank has adopted formal policies and
practices to monitor and manage  interest  rate risk  exposure.  As part of this
effort, the Bank uses the market value ("MV") methodology to gauge interest rate
risk exposure.

         Generally, MV is the discounted present value of the difference between
incoming  cash flows on  interest-earning  assets and other  assets and outgoing
cash  flows  on   interest-bearing   liabilities  and  other  liabilities.   The
application of the  methodology  attempts to quantify  interest rate risk as the
change in the MV which would result from a  theoretical  200 and 400 basis point
(1 basis point equals .01%) change in market  interest  rates.  Both 200 and 400
basis  point  increases  in market  interest  rates and 200 and 400 basis  point
decreases in market interest rates are considered.


<PAGE>

         It is estimated that at June 30, 1998, MV would decrease 3.9% and 19.4%
in the event of 200 and 400 basis  point  increases  in  market  interest  rates
respectively,  compared  to 5.2% and  13.7% for the same  increases  at June 30,
1997.  The Bank's MV at June 30, 1998 would decrease 8.7% and 14.4% in the event
of 200 and 400 basis  point  decreases  in  market  rates  respectively.  A year
earlier,  200 and 400 basis point decreases in market rates would have increased
MV 2.3% and 5.4% respectively.

         Differences  in MV  performance  resulting from changes in market rates
reflect  increases  and  decreases  in cash flow for each  asset  and  liability
category.  Changes  in  asset  and  liability  mix,  pricing  assumptions,  loan
prepayment rates,  transaction account decay rates, and other influences account
for modified cash flows from one period to another.

Presented  below,  as of June 30,  1998 and 1997,  is an  analysis of the Bank's
interest rate risk as measured by changes in MV for  instantaneous and sustained
parallel shifts of 200 and 400 basis point increments in market interest rates.

INTEREST RATE SPREAD

         The Company's results of operations have been impacted primarily by net
interest  income.  Net interest income is determined by the interest rate spread
between  the  yields  earned on  interest-earning  assets  and the rates paid on
interest-bearing  liabilities  and by the relative  amounts of  interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

         The following table sets forth the weighted average effective  interest
rate  earned  by the  Company  on its  loan,  investment  portfolios  and  total
interest-earning assets. The table also includes weighted average effective cost
of the  Company's  deposits  and  borrowings,  the  interest  rate spread of the
Company, and the net yield on weighted average  interest-earning  assets for the
periods  and as of the date  shown.  Average  balances  are  based on  month-end
average balances.

</TABLE>

(1)  Interest rate spread is calculated by subtracting weighted average interest
     rate cost  from  weighted  average  interest  rate  earned  for the  period
     indicated.  Interest rate spread figures must be considered in light of the
     relationship   between   the   amounts  of   interest-earning   assets  and
     interest-bearing liabilities.

(2)  The net yield on weighted average  interest-earning assets is calculated by
     dividing net interest income by weighted  average  interest-earning  assets
     for the period indicated.  No net yield percentage is presented at June 30,
     1998, because the computation of net yield is applicable only over a period
     rather than at a specific date.

         The following  table  describes the extent to which changes in interest
rates and  changes in volume of  interest-related  assets and  liabilities  have
affected the Company's interest income and expense during the periods indicated.
For each category of interest-earning  assets and interest-bearing  liabilities,
information  is provided on changes  attributable  to (1) changes in rate (i.e.,
changes in rate  multiplied  by old  volume)  and (2)  changes in volume  (i.e.,
changes in volume multiplied by old rate). Changes attributable to both rate and
volume have been  allocated  proportionally  to the change due to volume and the
change due to rate.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL  POSITION  AND RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS - YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,
1998, COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1997:

         General.  HFB earned record net income  totaling  $393,000 for the year
ended June 30, 1998,  representing  a $141,000 or 55.7%  increase  from the year
ended  June 30,  1997,  in which  net  income  of  $252,000  was  earned.  Major
contributions to improved  earnings for the year were higher net interest income
and lower deposit insurance expense.

         The return on average assets for the year ended June 30, 1998 was .93%,
compared to .63% the prior year June 30, 1997.  The return on average equity was
5.34% for the year ended  June 30,  1998,  compared  to 3.31% for the prior year
ended  June 30,  1997.  Earnings  per share was $.47 for the year ended June 30,
1998,  compared  to $.27 for the year ended June 30,  1997.  Without the special
assessment  imposed by federal  legislation to recapitalize the SAIF, net income
for the prior year ended June 30, 1997 would have been  $338,000  for returns on
average assets and average equity of .84% and 4.45% respectively.

         Assets.  Total  assets at June 30, 1998 were  $42,560,000,  compared to
total  assets  of  $42,508,000  at June 30,  1997.  Cash  and  cash  equivalents
decreased  $382,000  or 9.1%,  to  $3,802,000  at June  30,  1998,  compared  to
$4,184,000 a year earlier.  The decrease in cash and cash  equivalents  combined
with cash inflows from deposits and sales of investment  securities were used to
repay  borrowings  and acquire  additional  premises and  equipment.  Investment
securities  decreased $184,000 or 8.8% to $1,918,000 at June 30, 1998,  compared
to  $2,102,000 at June 30, 1997.  Total loans at June 30, 1998 were  $34,279,000
compared to total loans of $34,349,000 at prior year-end June 30, 1997.

         The year-end  level of stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank  ("FHLB") of
Indianapolis  stood at $500,000 for 1998 and 1997.  Net  premises and  equipment
increased $724,000 or 75.1%, to $1,687,000 at June 30, 1998 compared to $964,000
at June  30,  1997.  The  increase  is due to  costs  for the  nearly  completed
construction of the Bank's first branch office site in the Putnam County town of
Cloverdale,  as well as  costs  for  finishing  construction  on new  facilities
adjacent  to the Bank's  main  office in  Spencer.  Foreclosed  real  estate and
repossessed  assets increased  $33,000 or 17.6% to $220,000 compared to $187,000
at June 30,  1997.  The total at June 30,  1998  consists  of three  residential
single family properties and one mobile home.

         Average assets  increased  $2,012,000 or 5.0%, to  $42,258,000  for the
year ended June 30, 1998,  compared to $40,246,000 for the prior year-ended June
30, 1997.  Average  interest-earning  assets  increased  $1,956,000  or 5.1%, to
$40,398,000  for the year ended  June 30,  1998 and  represented  95.6% of total
average assets. The increase was due to average loans receivable which increased
$3,948,000 or 13.0%, to $34,366,000  for the year ended June 30, 1998,  compared
to  $30,418,000  for the year ended June 30,  1997.  The average  level of other
interest-earning  assets  decreased  $1,992,000 or 24.8%,  to $6,032,000 for the
year ended June 30, 1998, compared to $8,024,000 the same period a year ago.

         Liabilities and Stockholders'  Equity.  Total deposits were $26,649,000
at June 30, 1998, a $492,000 or 1.9% increase from $26,157,000 at June 30, 1997.
The change is traced to a $1,339,000 or 91.0% increase in  transaction  deposits
to  $2,810,000  at June 30,  1998,  compared  to  $1,471,000  at June 30,  1997.
Passbook and statement  savings  deposits  also  increased by $330,000 or 11.2%.
These  increases  were offset by declines of $705,000 or 31.8%,  and $473,000 or
2.4%, in money market  deposits and  certificates of deposit,  respectively.  In
addition to deposits,  FHLB advances are an important  source of both short-term
and long-term funding for the Bank. FHLB advances totaled $8,200,000 at June 30,
1998, compared to $9,000,000 at June 30, 1997.

         Average  liabilities  increased  $2,257,000 or 6.9%, to $34,897,000 for
the year ended June 30, 1998,  compared to $32,640,000 for the prior  year-ended
June 30, 1997.  Average  interest-bearing  liabilities  increased  $2,189,000 or
6.8%,  to  $34,471,000  for the  year-ended  June 30,  1998.  The  increase  was
primarily due to average  transaction  and money market  deposits which together
increased  $1,836,000  or  84.9%,  to  $3,998,000  for  the  1998,  compared  to
$2,162,000 for the prior year.

         HFB's stockholders' equity increased $309,000 or 4.3%, to $7,506,000 at
June 30, 1998,  compared to  $7,197,000  at June 30, 1997.  Contributing  to the
increase was net income of $393,000.  The increase was partially  offset by cash
dividends  of  $85,000  paid for the year  ended  June 30,  1998.  The  ratio of
stockholders'  equity  to total  assets  increased  to  17.6% at June 30,  1998,
compared to 16.9% at June 30, 1997.

         During the year ended June 30, 1998, 10,000 shares of Common Stock were
purchased and retired by the Company pursuant to a 10% stock repurchase program.
These repurchases reduced total outstanding shares of Common Stock to 929,052 at
June 30,  1998.  The $78,000  cost of these  repurchased  shares  represented  a
reduction in total stockholders' equity.

         Net  Interest  Income.  Net  interest  income  increased by $185,000 or
10.9%,  to $1,878,000  for the year ended June 30, 1998,  compared to $1,693,000
for the year ended June 30, 1997.  Impacting  net interest  income were interest
rate changes on rate-sensitive  assets and liabilities during the current period
and average  balance  increases or decreases  applicable  to the  rate-sensitive
portion of the  balance  sheet.  As a result of these  factors,  total  interest
income increased by $294,000 or 8.6% while total interest  expense  increased by
$109,000 or 6.4%, compared to the same period a year earlier.

         Interest income on loans totaled $3,306,000 for the year ended June 30,
1998,  compared to  $2,912,000  for the year ended June 30, 1997; an increase of
$394,000 or 13.5%. The increase can be attributed to a larger average balance of
loans receivable outstanding for the current year and an increase in the average
yield  earned,  compared  to the same  period  one year ago.  At June 30,  1998,
investment   securities  included  $1,320,000  in  equity  stocks  which  earned
dividends rather than interest  income.  Interest and dividend income from total
investments  decreased $141,000 or 40.4% to $207,000 for the year ended June 30,
1998  compared to $348,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997.  The decline can be
attributed to a decrease in average  balance  outstanding  for the current year,
which was partially  offset by an increase in the average yield  compared to the
same period a year earlier.  Interest  income on FHLB stock totaled  $40,000 for
the year ended June 30,  1998,  compared  to $33,000 for the year ended June 30,
1997; an increase of $7,000 or 21.2%. The increase can be attributed to a larger
average  balance  outstanding  and an  increase  in the  average  yield  earned,
compared to the same period a year earlier.  The combined weighted average yield
on the balance of  interest-earning  assets  outstanding for the year ended June
30, 1998 increased to 9.14%, compared to 8.84% for the prior year ended June 30,
1997.

         Interest expense on deposits  increased  $73,000 or 6.0%, to $1,283,000
for the year ended June 30, 1998, compared to $1,210,000 for the year ended June
30,  1997.  The change  was the result of an  increase  in the  average  deposit
balance  outstanding  of the  current  year  compared  to the same period a year
earlier.  The average  cost of deposits  remained  unchanged  at 5.0%.  Interest
expense on  borrowings  increased  by $42,000 or 8.6%,  to $529,000 for the year
ended June 30, 1998,  compared to $487,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997. The
increase was the result of a larger average balance  outstanding for the current
year, which was partially offset by a decline in the average cost of borrowings.
The combined  weighted average rate paid on deposits and borrowings was 5.3% for
the year ended June 30, 1998 and the prior year.


<PAGE>

         The  Company's  interest  rate spread  increased  to 3.88% for the year
ended June 30, 1998, compared to 3.56% for the year ended June 30, 1997. The net
interest margin increased to 4.65% for the year ended June 30, 1998, compared to
4.41% for the year ended June 30, 1997.  Increases in both  interest rate spread
and  interest  rate margin were the result of larger  average  balances in loans
receivable,  which are the Company's highest yielding assets, and larger average
balances in lower costing liabilities, such as transaction accounts.

         Provisions for Loan Losses.  For the year ended June 30, 1998, the Bank
provided $102,000 for future loan losses.  During the prior year,  provisions of
$85,000 were made. The allowance for loan losses totaled $320,000 or .94% of net
loans at June 30,  1998,  compared  to $231,000 or .68% of net loans at June 30,
1997, an increase of $89,000 or 38.5%. Management considers the Bank's allowance
for loan losses to be adequate based on general economic conditions,  historical
net   charge-offs   and  other   factors  such  as  the  size,   condition   and
characteristics  of  the  loan  portfolio.  In  assessing  loan  loss  allowance
adequacy,  consideration  is also given to the volume  and  composition  of loan
portfolio growth as well as the level of allowances maintained by peers.

         Noninterest  Income.  Noninterest income increased by $103,000 or 62.9%
to $267,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998, compared to $164,000 for the prior
year ended June 30, 1997. A major  contributor to the increase was a $104,000 or
279.3%  increase in gains on the sale of  investments  to $141,000  for the year
ended  June 30,  1998,  compared  to $37,000  for the year ended June 30,  1997.
Partially  offsetting this increase and the increase in service fee income was a
decline of $24,000 in gains on the sale of real estate  acquired for development
to $7,000 for the current  year,  compared to $31,000 for the same period a year
ago.

         BSF Inc.,  the  Bank's  service  corporation  subsidiary  ("BSF"),  was
organized in 1989 and has historically  engaged in the purchasing and developing
of large  tracts of real  estate.  Management  has utilized the sale of lots and
residences to provide an additional source of income for the Company.  The level
of income from this source fluctuates widely since it is dependent on the volume
of  activity,  primarily  the number of lots sold,  and  profits on  residential
properties.  In  connection  with the Bank's  conversion  to an  Indiana  mutual
savings  bank  in  1996,  the  FDIC  required  the  Bank  to  cease  BSF's  land
acquisitions and divest of BSF's non-conforming real estate holdings within five
years,  among  other  conditions.  BSF has ceased to acquire  land and is in the
process of divesting of its real estate holdings. BSF currently anticipates that
all  non-conforming  real estate will be sold  within the  required  disposition
period.  The loss of the income from this source will have an adverse  effect on
net income subsequent to discontinuance of this business activity.

         Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense increased by $77,000 or 5.6%,
to $1,444,000  for the year ended June 30, 1998,  compared to $1,368,000 for the
year ended June 30, 1997. The increase can be primarily  attributed the $203,000
or 36.1%  increase in salaries  and  employee  benefits to $766,000 for the year
ended June 30,  1998,  compared  to  $563,000  for the prior year ended June 30,
1997.  The  increase  was the result of new staff  members  hired for the Bank's
Cloverdale  branch and costs  associated  with  employee  benefit  plans adopted
during  fiscal  year 1997.  Partially  offsetting  this  increase  was a drop in
deposit  insurance  expense of $149,000 or 90.3%,  to $16,000 for the year ended
June 30, 1998,  compared to $165,000  for the year ended June 30, 1997.  Deposit
insurance expense for last year included the one-time special assessment expense
of $142,000  imposed by federal  legislation  to  recapitalize  the SAIF.  Other
increases  related to  occupancy,  advertising,  foreclosed  property,  and data
processing expenses. These increases were partially offset by a decline in legal
and  professional  fees of $48,000 or 28.2%, to $123,000 for the year ended June
30, 1998, compared to $172,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997.

         Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense  increased $54,000 or 35.3%, to
$206,000  for the year ended June 30,  1998,  compared to $152,000 for the prior
year ended June 30, 1997.  The increase was due to an increase in income  before
taxes of  $194,000  or 48.0%,  which was  partially  offset by a decline  in the
effective combined federal and state income tax rate to 34.4% for the year ended
June 30, 1998, compared to 37.7% for the same period a year ago.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL  POSITION  AND RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS - YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,
1997, COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1996:

         General.  Total assets increased $3.1 million at June 30, 1997 compared
to June 30,  1996.  The  increase  was the net result of an  increase  in loans,
combined with decreases in investment  securities and cash and cash equivalents.
Loans increased by $7.0 million or 25.8%, while the sale of securities decreased
investment securities by $2.8 million and cash and cash equivalents decreased by
$1.5  million to fund the  increase  in loans.  The  increase  in loans was also
funded by additional advances of $1.8 million from the FHLB.

         Average assets increased from $34.3 million for the year ended June 30,
1996,  to $40.2  million for the year ended June 30, 1997, an increase of 17.2%.
Average interest-earning assets represented 96.0% of average assets for the year
ended June 30, 1996 compared to 95.5% for the year ended June 30, 1997.  Average
loans  experienced  the largest  increase  amounting to $3.4 million while other
interest-earning  assets increased to a lesser extent. Average  interest-bearing
liabilities  as a percentage of average  interest-earning  assets were 84.0% for
1997 compared to 93.2% for 1996.

         Investment    Securities.    Average    investment    securities    and
mortgage-backed  securities increased $1.1 million and $895,000 respectively for
the year ended June 30, 1997 compared to the year ended June 30, 1996  primarily
due to the initial investment of conversion  proceeds in securities.  During the
year  ended  June  30,  1997,  mortgage-backed  securities  and  selected  other
securities  were sold primarily to fund loan growth.  Consequently,  at June 30,
1997, the total of  mortgage-backed  securities and other investment  securities
decreased $2.8 million compared to June 30, 1996. All investments are classified
as available for sale to provide maximum  flexibility in managing the investment
portfolio.  At June  30,  1997  and  1996  the net  unrealized  gain  (loss)  on
securities available for sale was $42,000 and ($28,000), respectively.

         Loans  and   Allowance  for  Loan  Losses.   Average  loans   increased
approximately  $3.4  million from the year ended June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997.
The  growth in loans  was  funded  by  decreases  in other  earning  assets  and
increased  average  borrowings.  Average loans were $30.4 million for the period
ended June 30,  1997  compared to $27.0  million  for the period  ended June 30,
1996.  The  average  rate on loans was 9.57% for the year  ended  June 30,  1997
compared  to 9.71% for the year ended  June 30,  1996,  a  decrease  of 14 basis
points.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of net loans increased to
 .68% from .55% as a result of a monthly  provision  for loan  losses and nominal
charge-offs.  The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming  loans
was 30.9% at June 30, 1997 compared to 41.8% at June 30, 1996.

         Residential  mortgage  loans  increased by $1.7  million and  comprised
57.2%  of  total  loans  at June 30,  1997  compared  to  66.1% a year  earlier.
Nonresidential  mortgage  loans  increased by $4.4 million to $6.9  million,  or
19.8% of total loans at June 30, 1997,  compared to 9.22% of total loans at June
30, 1996.


<PAGE>

         Premises and Equipment.  Premises and equipment increased approximately
$451,000,  net of depreciation  from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997. The largest
increases  were  related to the  purchase  of a property  for a proposed  branch
office in Cloverdale,  Indiana and building construction for expanded facilities
on property adjacent to the Bank.

         Deposits.  Deposits  decreased  $2.5 million from $28.7 million at June
30, 1996 to $26.2 million at June 30, 1997.  Passbook savings accounts decreased
approximately $4.7 million, substantially all of which was attributable to funds
withdrawn for the purchase of common stock related to the conversion of the Bank
from a mutual to a stock institution.  All other deposits increased $2.2 million
during this period.  Average total deposits  decreased $670,000 to $24.5 million
for the year ended June 30, 1997  compared  to $25.2  million for the year ended
June 30, 1996.

         Interest-bearing demand deposits and money market deposits totaled $3.7
million or 14.1% of total  deposits at June 30,  1997,  compared to $2.4 million
and 8.3% of total  deposits  at June 30,  1996.  Savings  deposits,  which  were
unusually high at June 30, 1996,  comprised  11.3% of total deposits at June 30,
1997  compared to 26.8% a year  earlier.  Savings  deposits,  at June 30,  1996,
included  approximately $4.7 million of conversion  proceeds for the purchase of
stock.  Certificates  of deposits  increased to $19.5  million or 74.7% of total
deposits  at June 30, 1997  compared  to $16.0  million and 64.9% of deposits at
June 30, 1996.

         Borrowed  Funds.  Borrowed  funds  increased $1.8 million from June 30,
1996 to June 30, 1997. The increase in borrowed funds was used to fund a portion
of the Bank's loan growth.  The weighted  average interest rate on advances from
the FHLB of Indianapolis  increased from 6.05% at June 30, 1996 to 6.30% at June
30, 1997.  Average  borrowed funds  increased to $7.7 million for the year ended
June 1997 from $5.5 million for the year ended June 1996.

         Stockholders'  Equity.  Stockholders'  equity increased $3.8 million to
$7.2  million  at June 30,  1997  compared  to $3.4  million  at June  30,  1996
primarily due to conversion  proceeds and net income during the period.  On July
1, 1996,  the Bank  completed the conversion and the formation of Home Financial
Bancorp  as the  holding  companyof  the Bank.  As part of the  conversion,  the
Company  issued  505,926  shares  of  common  stock  at $10  per  share  (before
restatement  for the  2-for-1  stock  split),  of which  40,474  shares  (before
restatement  for the 2-for-1  stock  split)  were  issued to an  Employee  Stock
Ownership Plan. Net proceeds of the Company's stock issuance,  after costs, were
approximately  $4.7  million,  of which $2.5 million was used to acquire 100% of
the stock and ownership of the Bank.

         During the period  ended June 30, 1997,  36,400  shares of common stock
(before  restatement  for the 2-for-1 stock split) were purchased and retired by
the  Company  pursuant  to a 10% stock  repurchase  program.  These  repurchases
reduced total outstanding shares of common stock to 469,526 (before  restatement
for the 2-for-1 stock split) at June 30, 1997, and the $565,000 cost represented
a reduction in total stockholders' equity.

         Net Income.  Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 totaled
$252,000  compared to $288,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996,  representing a
$36,000 or 12.5%  decrease.  The  decline in net income was due  primarily  to a
one-time special  assessment of $142,000  ($86,000 after tax) imposed by federal
legislation to recaptialize  the SAIF. The return on average assets for the year
ended June 30, 1997 was .63%, compared to .84% for the prior year ended June 30,
1996.  The return on average  equity was 3.31% for the year ended June 30, 1997,
as  compared to 8.71% for the year ended 1996.  Basic and diluted  earnings  per
share were $.27 for the year ended June 30, 1997.


<PAGE>

         For the Year ended June 30, 1997,  net income  without the special SAIF
assessment would have totaled $338,000 or $.37 per share. Further, the return on
average assets and the return on average equity, without the special assessment,
would have been .84% and 4.44%, respectively.

         Net Interest  Income.  Net Interest income  increased  $332,000 to $1.7
million for the year ended June 30,  1997,  compared  to the prior  year.  Total
interest  income was $3.4 million for the year ended June 30, 1997,  compared to
$3.0 million for 1996.  Average earning assets increased $5.5 million from $32.9
million to $38.4  million from the 1996 period to the 1997 period.  The increase
in average  earning assets was  accompanied by a decrease in average yields from
8.97% during 1996 to 8.84% during  1997.  The increase in average  loans was the
primary factor contributing to the increase in total interest income.

         Total interest expense increased  $110,000 during the fiscal year ended
June 30,  1997  compared to 1996.  This  increase  resulted  from an increase in
average  interest-bearing  liabilities  of $1.6  million,  from $30.7 million to
$32.3 million as well as an increase in the average cost of funds from 5.19% for
1996 to 5.28%  for  1997.  The  average  balances  of NOW and  savings  accounts
decreased  $463,000  while the  average  balance  of  certificates  of  deposits
decreased  $207,000  during 1997.  Borrowed  funds  averaged $2.3 million higher
during 1997 compared to 1996 as the Company continued to utilize borrowings from
the FHLB to fund loans and other asset growth.

         Other Income.  Service charges on deposit accounts  increased $5,000 in
1997  compared  to 1996  primarily  as a result of an  increase in the number of
accounts  subject to such charges.  Income from the sale of real estate acquired
for  development  decreased  by $26,000  to $31,000  for the year ended June 30,
1997,  compared to $57,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996. In connection  with
the  Bank's  conversion  to an Indiana  mutual  savings  bank in 1996,  the FDIC
required the  divestiture of  non-conforming  real estate  holdings  within five
years, among other conditions. Consequently, income from the sale of real estate
acquired for development will decrease in future periods.

         Other Expenses.  Salaries and benefits  increased 35.7% to $563,000 for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, compared to 1996. The increase reflects new
employee benefit plans, two additional full-time employees, and normal increases
in  compensation  and payroll  taxes.  Expenses  related to the  Employee  Stock
Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), adopted in July 1996, and the Recognition and Retention
Plan and Trust ("RRP")  approved by  shareholders  in January 1997,  account for
much of the  salaries  and  benefits  increase.  The ESOP  expense  for 1997 was
$66,000 while the RRP cost was $25,000.

         Deposit  insurance  expense was $165,000  during  1997;  an increase of
$111,000,  or 205.6% from $54,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996. The increase
was  attributed  to a  recapitalization  plan  for the SAIF  signed  into law on
September 30, 1996, which provided for a special  assessment on all SAIF-insured
institutions  to enable the SAIF to achieve its required level of reserves.  The
Company's special  assessment totaled $142,000 before taxes, and was recorded as
deposit insurance expense for the year ended June 30, 1997.

         Expenses other than those discussed above increased $174,000,  or 52.1%
for the year ended June 30, 1997, compared to the prior year. Legal,  accounting
and other  professional  fees increased  $124,000 during the year ended June 30,
1997 ,  primarily  as a result of costs  related  to the  conversion  to a stock
company  and  the  implementation  of  various  employee  benefit  plans.  Other
increases  occurred  as a result of  general  increases  in a variety of expense
categories,  including  advertising,  which increased by $10,000 compared to the
prior year ended June 30, 1996.


<PAGE>

         Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense was $152,000 for the year ended
June 30,  1997,  compared  to  $196,000  for 1996.  The level of tax expense was
consistent  with the amount of taxable  income each year. The effective tax rate
was 37.7% for the year  ended June 30,  1997,  and 40.5% for the year ended June
30, 1996.

LIQUIDITY
 
         The  Bank's  primary  sources  of funds  are  deposits,  proceeds  from
principal and interest payments on loans and proceeds from maturing  securities.
While maturities and scheduled  amortization of loans are predictable sources of
funds,  deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general
interest rates,  economic  conditions,  competition and the restructuring of the
thrift industry.

         Liquidity  management  is both a daily and  long-term  function  of the
bank's  management  strategy.  In the event that the Bank should  require  funds
beyond its ability to generate them  internally,  additional funds are available
through  the use of FHLB  advances  and  though  sales of  securities.  The Bank
regularly   monitors  its  interest  rate  spread   position  to  determine  the
appropriate  mix between retail and wholesale  funds  available to fund its loan
activities.  From  time-to-time  the Bank offers higher cost deposit products to
generate  funds for loans.  The Bank also  relies on  advances  from the FHLB of
Indianapolis to fund its lending activities when the cost of alternative sources
of funds  makes it  prudent  to do so. The Bank will  continue  to  monitor  its
interest rate spread position and its mix of deposits and alternative sources of
funds.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

         The  consolidated  financial  statements  presented  herein  have  been
prepared in accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  These
principles  require the measurement of financial  position and operating results
in terms of  historical  dollars,  without  considering  changes in the relative
purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

         The primary assets and  liabilities of financial  institutions  such as
the Bank are  monetary  in  nature.  As a  result,  interest  rates  have a more
significant  impact on the Bank's performance than the effects of general levels
of inflation.  Interest  rates,  however,  do not  necessarily  move in the same
direction or with the same  magnitude as the price of goods and services,  since
such prices are affected by inflation.  In a period of rapidly  rising  interest
rates, the liquidity and maturity structure of the Bank's assets and liabilities
are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

         The principal effect of inflation,  as distinct from levels of interest
rates, on earnings is in the area of noninterest expense.  Such expense items as
employee  compensation,  employee benefits and occupancy and equipment costs may
be  subject to  increases  as a result of  inflation.  An  additional  effect of
inflation  is the  possible  increase  in the  dollar  value  of the  collateral
securing loans made by the Bank. The Bank is unable to determine the extent,  if
any, to which  properties  securing the Bank's loans have  appreciated in dollar
value due to inflation.

CURRENT ACCOUNTING ISSUES

     Reporting  Comprehensive  Income. The Financial  Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, in
June 1997.  This  Statement  establishes  standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components (revenues,  expenses, gains, and losses)
in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.

     SFAS No. 130  requires  that all items that are  required to be  recognized
under accounting  standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in
a  financial  statement  that is  displayed  with the same  prominence  as other
financial  statements.  It does not require a specific format for that financial
statement but requires that an enterprise  display an amount  representing total
comprehensive income for the period in that financial statement.

     Upon implementing this new Statement,  an enterprise will classify items of
other comprehensive  income by their nature in a financial statement and display
the accumulated balance of other  comprehensive  income separately from retained
earnings and additional  paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of
financial position.

     Statement 130 is effective for interim and annual periods  beginning  after
December 15,  1997.  The Company  will adopt  Statement  130 for the quarter end
September 30, 1998.

     Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related  Information.  SFAS
No. 131  establishes  standards  for the way that  public  business  enterprises
report information about operating  segments in annual financial  statements and
requires that those  enterprises  report  selected  information  about operating
segments  in  interim  financial   reports  issued  to  shareholders.   It  also
establishes  standards  for related  disclosures  about  products and  services,
geographic  areas, and major customers.  This Statement  supersedes SFAS No. 14,
Financial  Reporting  for  Segments  of a Business  Enterprise,  but retains the
requirement to report information about major customers.  It amends SFAS No. 94,
Consolidation  of  All  Majority-Owned  Subsidiaries,   to  remove  the  special
disclosure requirements for previously unconsolidated subsidiaries.

     Upon  implementing  this Statement,  a public  business  enterprise will be
     required to report the following:  o Financial and descriptive  information
     about its  reportable  operating  segments o A measure of segment profit or
     loss, certain specific revenue and expense items, and segment assets.

     o   Information  about the revenues derived from the enterprise's  products
         or services  (or groups of similar  products and  services),  about the
         countries in which the enterprise earns revenues and holds assets,  and
         about major customers regardless of whether that information is used in
         making operating decisions.

     o   Descriptive  information about the way that the operating segments were
         determined,  the  products  and  services  provided  by  the  operating
         segments,  differences  between  the  measurements  used  in  reporting
         segment information and those used in the enterprise's  general-purpose
         financial statements, and changes in the measurement of segment amounts
         from period to period.


<PAGE>

     SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial  statements  for periods  beginning
after  December 15, 1997 which is June 30, 1999 for the Company.  This Statement
is not anticipated to have any significant applicability to the Company based on
current operations. In the initial year of application,  comparative information
for  earlier  years is to be  restated.  This  Statement  need not be applied to
interim  financial  statements  in the  initial  year  of its  application,  but
comparative  information  for interim periods in the initial year of application
is to be reported in financial statements for interim periods in the second year
of application.

     Employers'  Disclosures about Pensions and Other  Postretirement  Benefits.
SFAS No. 132,  which amends FASB  Statements  No. 87, 88, and 106, was issued in
February, 1998.

     While this  Statement  does not change the  measurement  or  recognition of
pension or other postretirement benefit plans, it revises employers' disclosures
about pension and other postretirement  benefit plans. Some of the provisions of
the Statement include:

     o The standardization of the disclosure requirements for pensions and other
postretirement benefits to the extent practicable.

     o    A requirement  for  additional  information  on changes in the benefit
          obligations  and fair  values  of plan  assets  that  will  facilitate
          financial analysis.

     o    The elimination of certain disclosures that are no longer as useful as
          they were when FASB  Statements  No.  87,  Employers'  Accounting  for
          Pensions,   No.  88,   Employers'   Accounting  for   Settlements  and
          Curtailments  of Defined  Benefit  Pension  Plans and for  Termination
          Benefits,  and  No.  106,  Employers'  Accounting  for  Postretirement
          Benefits Other Than Pensions, were issued.

     o    Suggested  combined  formats  for  presentation  of pension  and other
          postretirement benefit disclosures.

     This Statement is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after December 15,
1997, which is June 30, 1999 for the Company. Earlier application is encouraged.
Restatement of disclosures for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes
is required unless the information is not readily  available,  in which case the
notes to the financial statements should include all available information and a
description of the information not available.

     Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  SFAS No. 133
requires  companies  to record  derivatives  on the balance  sheet at their fair
value.  SFAS No. 133 also  acknowledges  that the method of  recording a gain or
loss  depends on the use of the  derivative.  If certain  conditions  are met, a
derivative  may be  specifically  designated  as (a) a hedge of the  exposure to
changes in the fair value of a recognized  asset or liability or an unrecognized
firm  commitment,  (b) a hedge  of the  exposure  to  variable  cash  flows of a
forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net
investment  in  a  foreign  operation,  an  unrecognized  firm  commitment,   an
available-for-sale  security,  or  a   foreign-currency-denominated   forecasted
transaction.


<PAGE>

     o    For a derivative  designated as hedging the exposure to changes in the
          fair value of a recognized  asset or  liability  or a firm  commitment
          (referred to as a fair value hedge), the gain or loss is recognized in
          earnings in the period of change  together with the offsetting loss or
          gain on the hedged item  attributable  to the risk being  hedged.  The
          effect of that  accounting  is to  reflect in  earnings  the extent to
          which the hedge is not  effective in achieving  offsetting  changes in
          fair value.

     o    For a derivative  designated  as hedging the exposure to variable cash
          flows of a forecasted  transaction (referred to as a cash flow hedge),
          the effective  portion of the  derivative's  gain or loss is initially
          reported  as  a  component  of  other  comprehensive  income  (outside
          earnings)  and  subsequently   reclassified  into  earnings  when  the
          forecasted  transaction  affects earnings.  The ineffective portion of
          the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately.

     o    For a derivative  designated as hedging the foreign currency  exposure
          of a net  investment  in a  foreign  operation,  the  gain  or loss is
          reported in other  comprehensive  income (outside earnings) as part of
          the cumulative translation adjustment. The accounting for a fair value
          hedge described above applies to a derivative designated as a hedge of
          the foreign currency exposure of an unrecognized firm commitment or an
          available-for-sale security. Similarly, the accounting for a cash flow
          hedge described above applies to a derivative designated as a hedge of
          the  foreign  currency  exposure  of  a   foreign-currency-denominated
          forecasted transaction.

     o    For a derivative not designated as a hedging  instrument,  the gain or
          loss is recognized in earnings in the period of change.

     The new Statement  applies to all entities.  If hedge accounting is elected
by the  entity,  the  method  of  assessing  the  effectiveness  of the  hedging
derivative   and  the   measurement   approach   of   determining   the  hedge's
ineffectiveness must be established at the inception of the hedge.

     SFAS No. 133 amends SFAS No. 52 and supercedes  SFAS Nos. 80, 105, and 119.
SFAS  No.  107 is  amended  to  include  the  disclosure  provisions  about  the
concentrations  of credit risk from SFAS No. 105.  Several  Emerging Issues Task
Force  consensuses  are also changed or nullified by the  provisions of SFAS No.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT



Board of Directors
Home Financial Bancorp
Spencer, Indiana

We have  audited the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  condition  of Home
Financial  Bancorp and  subsidiary as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the related
consolidated  statements  of income,  changes in  stockholders'  equity and cash
flows for each of the three  years in the  period  ended  June 30,  1998.  These
consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these  consolidated
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 audit 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 described above present
fairly, in all material  respects,  the consolidated  financial position of Home
Financial  Bancorp and  subsidiary as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the results
of their  operations  and their  cash  flows for each of the three  years in the
period ended June 30, 1998, in conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

Note 1-- Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Home Financial Bancorp  ("Company") and
its wholly owned  subsidiary,  Owen Community Bank, s.b. ("Bank") and the Bank's
wholly owned  subsidiary,  BSF,  Inc.  ("BSF"),  conform to  generally  accepted
accounting  principles and reporting  practices followed by the thrift industry.
The more significant of the policies are described below.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company is a bank holding company whose principal  activity is the ownership
and management of the Bank.  Commencing  July 1, 1996, the Bank operates under a
state thrift  charter,  known as a stock savings bank, and provides full banking
services.  Prior to July 1, 1996, the Bank operated as an Indiana mutual savings
bank.  As a  state-chartered  thrift,  the Bank is subject to  regulation by the
Department of Financial  Institutions,  State of Indiana and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").

The Bank  generates  mortgage and  consumer  loans and  receives  deposits  from
customers located primarily in Owen and surrounding  counties.  The Bank's loans
are generally  secured by specific  items of collateral  including real property
and consumer assets.

BSF 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  for deed.  In
connection with the Bank's conversion to an Indiana mutual savings bank in 1995,
the FDIC  required  the Bank to cease BSF's land  acquisitions,  divest of 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.  BSF's net income for the years ended June 30,  1998,
1997 and 1996,  included  in the  Company's  consolidated  net  income,  totaled
$21,000, $35,000 and $59,000.

Consolidation--The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company  and  subsidiary   after   elimination  of  all  material   intercompany
transactions and accounts.

Investment  Securities--Debt  securities are classified as held to maturity when
the  Company  has the  positive  intent and  ability to hold the  securities  to
maturity.  Securities  held to maturity  are  carried at  amortized  cost.  Debt
securities  not  classified as held to maturity are  classified as available for
sale.  Securities  available for sale are carried at fair value with  unrealized
gains and losses reported separately, net of tax, in stockholders' equity.

Amortization  of premiums  and  accretion of  discounts  are recorded  using the
interest  method as interest income from  securities.  Realized gains and losses
are  recorded  as net  security  gains  (losses).  Gains and  losses on sales of
securities are determined on the specific-identification method.


<PAGE>

Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding.  A loan is impaired when,
based on current  information  or events,  it is probable  that the Bank will be
unable to collect all amounts due  (principal  and  interest)  according  to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Payments with insignificant delays not
exceeding 90 days  outstanding are not considered  impaired.  The Bank considers
its investment in one-to-four  family residential loans and consumer loans to be
homogeneous and therefore  excluded from separate  identification for evaluation
of impairment.  Interest  income is accrued on the principal  balances of loans.
The accrual of interest on impaired and nonaccrual  loans is discontinued  when,
in  management's  opinion,  the borrower may be unable to meet  payments as they
become due. When interest accrual is  discontinued,  all unpaid accrued interest
is reversed  when  considered  uncollectible.  Interest  income is  subsequently
recognized only to the extent cash payments are received.  Certain loan fees and
direct costs are being  deferred and  amortized as an adjustment of yield on the
loans over the contractual  lives of the loans. When a loan is paid off or sold,
any unamortized loan origination fee balance is credited to income.

Allowance  for  loan  losses  is  maintained  to  absorb  loan  losses  based on
management's  continuing  review and  evaluation  of the loan  portfolio and its
judgment  as to  the  impact  of  economic  conditions  on  the  portfolio.  The
evaluation by management includes consideration of past loss experience, changes
in the composition of the portfolio,  the current  condition and amount of loans
outstanding,  and the probability of collecting all amounts due.  Impaired loans
are  measured by the present  value of expected  future cash flows,  or the fair
value of the collateral of the loan, if collateral dependent.

The  determination  of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on
estimates  that are  particularly  susceptible  to  significant  changes  in the
economic environment and market conditions.  Management believes that as of June
30,  1998,  the  allowance  for loan  losses is  adequate  based on  information
currently  available.  A worsening or  protracted  economic  decline in the area
within which the Bank  operates  would  increase the  likelihood  of  additional
losses due to credit and market risks and could  create the need for  additional
loss reserves.

Real estate  acquired  for  development  is carried at the lower of cost or fair
value.  Costs relating to development and improvements of property are allocated
to  individual  lots and  capitalized,  whereas  costs  relating  to holding the
property  are  expensed.   Gains  on  sales  of  lots  are   determined  on  the
specific-identification method.

Premises  and  equipment  are carried at cost net of  accumulated  depreciation.
Depreciation is computed using the accelerated and  straight-line  methods based
principally on the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs
are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized.
Gains and losses on dispositions are included in current operations.

Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock is a required  investment for institutions
that are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank system.  The required  investment
in the common stock is based on a predetermined formula.

Pension  plan costs are based on actuarial  computations  and charged to current
operations.  The funding policy is to pay at least the minimum amounts  required
by ERISA.

Stock  options are granted for a fixed  number of shares with an exercise  price
equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The Company accounts
for and will continue to account for stock option grants in accordance  with APB
Opinion No. 25,  Accounting  for Stock Issued to  Employees,  and,  accordingly,
recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option grants.
<PAGE>

Income tax in the consolidated  statement of income includes deferred income tax
provisions or benefits for all significant  temporary differences in recognizing
income and expenses for financial reporting and income tax purposes. The Company
and Bank file consolidated tax returns.

Earnings per share have been  computed  based upon the weighted  average  common
shares and potential common shares  outstanding  during the period subsequent to
the Bank's conversion to a stock savings bank on July 1, 1996. Unearned Employee
Stock  Ownership Plan ("ESOP") shares have been excluded from the computation of
average common shares and potential common shares outstanding.

Note 2 --       Conversion to State Stock Savings Bank

On July 1, 1996, the Bank completed the conversion from a state chartered mutual
savings bank to a state  chartered  stock  savings bank and the formation of the
Company as the  holding  company  of the Bank.  As part of the  conversion,  the
Company issued 505,926 (before restatement for the 2 for 1 stock split discussed
in Note 10)  shares  of  common  stock at $10 per  share.  Net  proceeds  of the
Company's  stock  issuance,  after costs and excluding the shares issued for the
ESOP, were approximately $4,320,000 of which $2,472,548 was 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.

The  Bank  adopted  SFAS  No.  114 and No.  118,  Accounting  by  Creditors  For
Impairment  of  a  Loan  and   Accounting  by  Creditors  for  Impairment  of  a
Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures,  on July 1, 1995. The Bank has not had
any impaired loans since the adoption of Nos. 114 and 118.

At June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Bank had nonaccrual  loans of approximately
$279,000, $562,000 and $359,000, for which impairment
had not been recognized.

The  Bank has no  commitments  to loan  additional  funds  to the  borrowers  of
nonaccrual loans.

         The Bank has entered  into  transactions  with  certain  directors  and
officers.  Such  transactions  were made in the  ordinary  course of business on
substantially  the same  terms  and  conditions,  including  interest  rates and
collateral,  as those  prevailing at the same time for  comparable  transactions
with other  customers,  and did not, in the opinion of management,  involve more
than normal credit risk or present  other  unfavorable  features.  The aggregate
amount of loans, as defined, to such related parties were as follows:

No valuation allowance was necessary for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

Retained earnings at June 30, 1998, include approximately  $700,000 for which no
deferred  federal  income  tax  liability  has  been  recognized.   This  amount
represents an  allocation  of income to bad debt  deductions as of June 30, 1988
for tax purposes only. Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than
tax bad debt losses including  redemption of bank stock or excess dividends,  or
loss of "bank status" would create  income for tax purposes  only,  which income
would be subject to the  then-current  corporate income tax rate. The unrecorded
deferred  federal  income tax liability on the above  amounts was  approximately
$280,000 at June 30, 1998.

Note 9 --       Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

         In the normal course of business there are outstanding  commitments and
contingent  liabilities,  such as commitments  to extend  credit,  which are not
included in the accompanying financial statements. 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 represented by the contractual
or notional amount of those instruments.  The Bank uses the same credit policies
in making such  commitments as it does for instruments  that are included in the
consolidated statement of financial condition.

         Financial  instruments  whose contract amount represents credit risk as
of June 30 were as follows:

                                    1998         1997
- ------------------------------------------------------
Mortgage loan commitments
   At variable rates                 $827        $563
                 At fixed rates       553         515
      Unused lines of credit          510           9

         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 deemed
necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's  credit
evaluation.  Collateral held varies, but may include residential real estate, or
other assets of the borrower.


<PAGE>

         The Bank has entered into  agreements with three officers which provide
for salary  continuation  for a three-year  period under certain  circumstances,
primarily related to change of control of the Bank, as defined.  Under the terms
of the agreements, these payments could occur if, following a change of control,
such officers are terminated  other than for cause or  unreasonable  changes are
made in their employment  relationships.  These agreements extend  automatically
for one year on each anniversary date unless certain  conditions are met. One of
the agreements was effective  January 1, 1996 and the other two agreements  were
effective July 1, 1996.

         The  Company  and Bank are also  subject to claims and  lawsuits  which
arise  primarily  in the  ordinary  course of  business.  It is the  opinion  of
management  that the  disposition  or ultimate  determination  of such  possible
claims or lawsuits will not have a material  adverse effect on the  consolidated
financial position of the Company.


Note 10 --      Stockholders' Equity

         On December 9, 1997, the Company approved a 2 for 1 stock split,  under
which every share of its common  stock  outstanding  at the close of business on
December 23, 1997 was converted into two shares of common stock.  The additional
certificates were distributed to stockholders on January 6, 1998. As a result of
the stock  split,  the number of shares  outstanding  increased  from 464,526 to
929,052 shares.  Unless  otherwise noted, all share and per share data have been
restated for the 2 for 1 stock split.

         The Company's  board of directors has approved the  repurchase of up to
10 percent of the Company's  outstanding  shares of common stock. Such purchases
will be made subject to market conditions in open market or block  transactions.
During the years  ended June 30,  1998 and 1997,  the  Company  had  repurchased
10,000 and 72,800 of its outstanding shares.

Note 11 --      Dividends and Capital Restrictions

         The Company is not subject to any regulatory restriction on the payment
of dividends to its stockholders.

         Without  prior  approval,  current  regulations  allow  the Bank to pay
dividends to the Company not  exceeding net profits (as defined) for the current
year  plus  those  for the  previous  two  years.  The Bank  normally  restricts
dividends to a lesser amount because of the need to maintain an adequate capital
structure.

         At the time of conversion,  a liquidation account was established in an
amount  equal to the Bank's net worth as  reflected  in the latest  statement of
condition  used in its  final  conversion  offering  circular.  The  liquidation
account is maintained for the benefit of eligible  deposit  account  holders who
maintain their deposit account in the Bank after  conversion.  In the event of a
complete  liquidation  (and only in such event),  each eligible  deposit account
holder  will  be  entitled  to  receive  a  liquidation  distribution  from  the
liquidation  account  in the  amount  of the then  current  adjusted  subaccount
balance for deposit accounts then held, before any liquidation  distribution may
be made to  stockholders.  Except  for the  repurchase  of stock and  payment of
dividends, the existence of the liquidation account will not restrict the use or
application of net worth.  The initial  balance of the  liquidation  account was
$3,295,000.


<PAGE>

         At  June  30,  1998,  total  stockholder's   equity  of  the  Bank  was
$6,230,000,  of which  approximately  $780,000 was  available for the payment of
dividends.

Note 12 --      Regulatory Capital

         The  Bank  is  subject  to  various  regulatory  capital   requirements
administered  by the  federal  banking  agencies  and are  assigned to a capital
category.  The assigned capital  category is largely  determined by three ratios
that are calculated  according to the regulations:  total risk adjusted capital,
Tier 1 capital,  and Tier 1 leverage ratios.  The ratios are intended to measure
capital  relative to assets and credit  risk  associated  with those  assets and
off-balance  sheet exposures of the entity.  The capital category assigned to an
entity can also be affected by qualitative judgments made by regulatory agencies
about the risk  inherent  in the  entity's  activities  that are not part of the
calculated ratios.

         There are five capital categories  defined in the regulations,  ranging
from well capitalized to critically  undercapitalized.  Classification of a bank
in any of the  undercapitalized  categories  can result in actions by regulators
that could have a material effect on a bank's  operations.  At June 30, 1998 and
1997, the Bank is categorized as well  capitalized  and met all subject  capital
adequacy  requirements.  There are no  conditions  or events since June 30, 1998
that management believes has changed the Bank's classification.

         In connection with the Bank's conversion to a  state-chartered  savings
bank, the FDIC imposed  heightened  capital  requirements on the Bank because of
the impermissible real estate development  activities of BSF. The FDIC currently
requires that the Bank maintain  capital  (after  deduction of its investment in
BSF) at levels  sufficient  for the Bank to be classified as a  well-capitalized
institution.

Note 13 --      Employee Benefit Plans

         The Bank is a  participant  in a  pension  fund  known as the  Pentegra
Group. This plan is a multi-employer plan; separate actuarial valuations are not
made  with  respect  to  each  participating  employer.  According  to the  plan
administrators,  the market  value of the fund's  assets  exceeded  the value of
vested  benefits in the  aggregate as of June 30,  1998,  the date of the latest
actuarial  valuation.  The plan required  contributions in the amount of $2,700,
$13,000 and $15,700 for the years ended June 30, 1998,  1997 and 1996.  The plan
provides pension benefits for substantially all of the Bank's employees.

         The  Bank  has a  retirement  savings  Section  401(k)  plan  in  which
substantially  all  employees  may  participate.  The  Bank  matches  employees'
contributions  at the rate of 50 percent  of the first 6 percent of base  salary
contributed  by  participants.  The  Bank's  expense  for the plan was  $12,000,
$10,100 and $9,200 for the years ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996.

         As part of the  conversion,  the Company  established  an ESOP covering
substantially  all  employees  of the Bank.  The ESOP  acquired  40,474  (before
restatement  for the 2 for 1 stock  split  discussed  in Note 10)  shares of the
Company common stock at $10 per share in the conversion with funds provided by a
loan from the Company. Accordingly, the $404,740 of common stock acquired by the
ESOP is shown as a reduction  of  stockholders'  equity.  Shares are released to
participants  proportionately  as the loan is  repaid.  Dividends  on  allocated
shares are recorded as dividends and charged to retained earnings.  Dividends on
unallocated  shares,  which will be distributed to participants,  are treated as
compensation expense.  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. The expense under the ESOP
was $93,000 and $66,000 for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.  At June 30,
1998 and 1997, the ESOP had 15,094 and 5,110 allocated shares, 61,096 and 70,314
suspense shares and 4,758 and 5,524  committed-to-be  released shares.  The fair
value of the unearned ESOP shares at June 30, 1998 was $547,758.

         In January 1997, the Company's  stockholders  approved the  Recognition
and Retention Plan and Trust ("RRP"). The RRP may acquire up to 40,474 shares of
the  Company's  common  stock  for  awards  to  management.  Shares  awarded  to
management under the RRP vest at a rate of 20 percent at the end of each full 12
months of service  with the Bank after the date of grant.  During the year ended
June 30,  1997,  the Bank  contributed  $290,172 to the RRP for the  purchase of
40,474 shares of the Company's  common stock of which 30,356 shares were awarded
to management and recorded as unearned  compensation.  Expense under the RRP was
$37,000 and $25,000 for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.


Note 14 --     Stock Option Plan

         On October 14,  1997,  the  stockholders  approved a stock option plan,
reserving 101,184 shares of Company stock for the granting of options to certain
directors,  officers and other key employees of the Company and its  subsidiary.
The plan is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion
(APB)  No.  25,   Accounting   for  Stock  Issued  to  Employees,   and  related
interpretations.


<PAGE>

         Since the plan's adoption, incentive stock options for 55,000 shares of
common stock have been granted with ten year terms that expire  October 13, 2007
and a exercise  price of $8.50 per share.  These options  became  exercisable in
full on April 14, 1998.  In addition,  non-qualified  options for 15,000  shares
have been  granted  with ten year  terms  that  expire  October  14,  2007 and a
exercise  price of $8.50 per share.  These options were  exercisable  in full on
April 14, 1998.  The exercise price of each option was equal to the market price
of the Company's stock on the date of grant;  therefore, no compensation expense
was recognized.

         Although  the  Company  has  elected to follow APB No. 25, SFAS No. 123
requires  pro forma  disclosures  of net income and earnings per share as if the
Company had accounted for its employee stock options under that  Statement.  The
fair  value of each  option  grant  was  estimated  on the grant  date  using an
option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

                                              1998
                                              ----

  Weighted-average expected
    life of the options                     6 years

         Under SFAS No. 123,  compensation  cost is  recognized in the amount of
the  estimated  fair value of the  options  and  amortized  to expense  over the
options'  vesting  period.  The pro forma  effect on net income and earnings per
share of this statement are as follows:

Note 16 --      Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The following  methods and  assumptions  were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instrument:

Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents--The  fair  value  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents
approximates carrying value.

Securities Available for Sale--Fair values are based on quoted market prices.

Loans--For both short-term loans and variable-rate loans that reprice frequently
and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying
values. The fair value for other 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.

FHLB  Stock--Fair  value of FHLB  stock is based on the price at which it may be
resold to the FHLB.

Interest Receivable--The fair values of interest receivable approximate carrying
values.

Deposits--The fair values of interest-bearing  demand, NOW, money market deposit
and savings  accounts  are equal to the amount  payable on demand at the balance
sheet date. The carrying amounts for variable rate,  fixed-term  certificates of
deposit approximate their fair values at the balance sheet 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 such time deposits.

FHLB  Advances--The  fair  value  of  these  borrowings  are  estimated  using a
discounted cash flow calculation,  based on current rates for similar debt. Fair
value approximates carrying value.

Off-Balance  Sheet  Commitments--Commitments  include  commitments  to originate
mortgage  loans,  and extend  lines of credit and are  generally of a short-term
nature.  The fair value of such 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.

                             Shareholder Information

Market Information

         The Bank  converted  from an Indiana  mutual savings bank to an Indiana
stock savings bank  effective  July 1, 1996,  and  simultaneously  formed a bank
holding  company,  the Holding Company.  The Holding  Company's Common Stock, is
quoted on the National  Association of Securities  Dealers  Automated  Quotation
System ("NASDAQ"),  Small Cap Market,  under the symbol "HWEN." As of August 24,
1998, there were approximately 540 holders of the Holding Company's Common Stock
including shares held in broker accounts.

         Since the Holding  Company has limited  independent  operations  and no
other  subsidiaries to generate income,  its ability to accumulate  earnings for
the payment of cash dividends to its shareholders is directly dependant upon the
earnings  on its  investment  securities  and  the  ability  of the  Bank to pay
dividends to the Holding Company.

         Under  current  federal  income tax law,  dividend  distributions  with
respect to the Common Stock, to the extent that such dividends paid are from the
current or  accumulated  earnings and profits of the Company (as  calculated for
federal  income  tax  purposes),  will be  taxable  as  ordinary  income  to the
recipient and will not be deductible by the Company. Any dividend  distributions
in excess of current or  accumulated  earnings  and profits  will be treated for
federal income tax purposes as a distribution  from the Bank's  accumulated  bad
debt reserves,  which could result in increased federal income tax liability for
the Company.  Moreover, the Bank may not pay dividends to the Holding Company if
such  dividends  would  result  in the  impairment  of the  liquidation  account
established in connection with the Conversion.

         The Holding  Company's  ability to pay dividends on the Common Stock is
subject to certain  regulatory  restrictions.  In  addition,  Indiana  law would
prohibit the Holding  Company from paying a dividend,  if after giving effect to
the payment of that dividend,  the Holding  Company would not be able to pay its
debts as they  become due in the  ordinary  course of business or if the Holding
Company's total assets would be less than the sum of its total  liabilities plus
preferential  rights of holders of preferred  stock, if any, of which there were
none.

         The stock  information  provided below has been adjusted to reflect the
2-for-1 stock split effective January 6 ,1998.
