ITEM 2.
                            LAFAYETTE BANCORPORATION
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollar amounts
                      in thousands, except per share data)

Lafayette  Bancorporation  (the  "Corporation")  is a one-bank  holding  company
located in Lafayette,  Indiana,  and conducts  business from thirteen offices in
Tippecanoe and White Counties, Indiana. The Corporation provides a wide range of
commercial and personal banking activities, including accepting deposits; making
commercial and consumer loans;  originating  mortgage loans;  providing personal
and  corporate  trust  services;  providing  investment  advisory and  brokerage
services; and providing auto, homeowners, and other insurance products.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

The Corporation  earned $1,305,  or $.60 per share for the third quarter of 1997
compared to $1,062,  or $.49 per share for the third quarter of 1996. Net income
for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1997 was $3,625,  or $1.68 per share,
which was $588, or 19.4% greater than the $3,037,  or $1.40 per share earned for
the same period in 1996.  Higher net  interest  income and  noninterest  income,
offset by increases in certain noninterest  expense categories,  account for the
increase in the Corporation's net income.

Return on  average  assets  (ROA) was  1.17%  and 1.09% for the  periods  ending
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively,  while return on average equity (ROE)
was 13.43% and 12.38% for those same nine months  ending  September 30, 1997 and
1996,  respectively.  For the quarter ending September 30, 1997 and 1996, return
on average  assets was 1.24% and 1.11%,  respectively,  while  return on average
equity was 14.07% and 12.80%, respectively, for those same time periods.


Net Interest Income

Net  interest  income is the most  significant  component  of the  Corporation's
earnings.  Net  interest  income is the  difference  between  interest  and fees
realized on earning assets, primarily loans and securities, and interest paid on
deposits and other borrowed  funds.  The net interest  margin is this difference
expressed as a percentage  of average  earning  assets.  Net interest  income is
determined  by several  factors,  including  the  volume of  earning  assets and
liabilities,  the mix of earning assets and liabilities, and interest rates. For
the nine months  ended  September  30, 1997 and 1996,  net  interest  income was
$12,099 and $10,475,  respectively.  This represents a $1,624, or 15.5% increase
over the prior year. Net interest income for the third quarter of 1997 was $600,
or 16.7% higher than for that same three month period ending September 30, 1996.
The increase in net interest  income  during 1997 is primarily  attributable  to
loan growth and a reduction in rates paid on certain deposits.

Interest income for the nine month period ending September 30, 1997 and 1996 was
$23,554 and $20,791, respectively. Interest income for the third quarter of 1997
was $923, or 12.8% greater than for that same quarter in 1996.  Interest  income
increased  during 1997  primarily  due to increased  interest and fees on loans.
Interest and fees on loans increased  $2,940, or 17.8%, to $19,491 for the first
nine months of 1997,  compared to $16,551 for the first nine months of 1996. For
the third quarter of 1997, interest and fees on loans increased $1,078, or 18.5%
compared  to the third  quarter of 1996.  Contributing  to these  increases  was
$49,798,  or 19.3%  growth in the  average  balance  of the  Corporation's  loan
portfolio from September 1996 to September 1997.

Total interest  expense for the nine month period ending  September 30, 1997 and
1996 was $11,455 and $10,316, respectively. For the third quarter of 1997, total
interest expense increased $323, or 8.9%, compared to the same 1996 time period.
Average  deposit growth of  approximately  9.9% from September 1996 to September
1997 contributed to the higher interest expense.  In addition,  interest expense
on long-term  debt  increased  $178, or 46.4% from the prior year as a result of
additional  current year Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings  required to fund the
aforementioned loan growth. 

The following  table  summarizes  the  Corporation's  net interest  income (on a
tax-equivalent  basis) for each of the  periods  presented.  A marginal  federal
income tax rate of 34% for each period was used.

Net interest  income,  on a tax equivalent  basis,  for the first nine months of
1997 was $1,635,  or 15.1%  higher than for that same nine month  period  ending
September 30, 1996. For the third quarter of 1997, the net interest margin, on a
tax  equivalent  basis,  was $585,  or 15.7%  higher than for the same 1996 time
period.  The net interest margin,  on a tax equivalent basis for the nine months
ending  September  30,  1997 and 1996 was 4.44%  and  4.28%,  respectively.  The
increase in the net interest margin in 1997 compared to 1996 was a result of the
changes that occurred in the rate and volume mix of the interest-bearing  assets
and  liabilities.  Because  loans are  generally  higher  yielding  than certain
securities in the investment security  portfolio,  a shift in earning assets has
resulted in a positive effect on net interest income.  During the last year, the
Corporation's average loan portfolio increased  approximately $49,798, or 19.3%,
while the  average  balance  of  investment  securities  declined  approximately
$13,661, or 15.5%. The higher interest expense on long-term debt realized by the
Corporation  during the year was offset by a reduction in interest rates paid on
interest-bearing  deposit accounts,  such as savings and certain certificates of
deposit, which resulted in a lower overall cost of funds to the Corporation.


Provision for Loan Losses and Asset Quality

The provision for loan losses represents charges made to earnings to maintain an
adequate  allowance  for loan losses.  The  allowance is maintained at an amount
believed by management to be sufficient to absorb losses  inherent in the credit
portfolio.  Management conducts,  on a quarterly basis, a detailed evaluation of
the adequacy of the allowance.

The consolidated  provision for loan losses was $270 and $180 for the first nine
months of 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The provision for loan losses increased
$60 for the third  quarter of 1997,  compared to the same 1996 time period.  The
increase in the provision for loan losses is  attributable to the continued loan
growth  the  Corporation  is  experiencing.  The  allowance  for loan  losses at
September 30, 1997 was $3,338,  or 1.10% of total loans  compared to $3,198,  or
1.19% of total loans at December 31, 1996.  Net  charge-offs  were $130 and $137
for the first nine months of 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  a decrease of $7, or
5.1%.  The third quarter of 1997  experienced a net recovery of $24,  while that
same 1996 time period recorded $56 in net charge-offs.

Nonperforming  loans include  nonaccrual  loans,  restructured  loans, and loans
delinquent 90 days or more.  Loans are classified as nonaccrual  when management
believes that  collection of interest is doubtful,  typically  when payments are
past due 90 days,  unless  the  loans are well  secured  and in the  process  of
collection.

The following table indicates the composition of nonperforming loans:

</TABLE>

Management  believes  overall asset quality has not declined despite an increase
in the nonperforming loan totals.  Loans past due 90 days or more increased $305
since December 31, 1996. This increase was the net result of adding two loans to
this category.  The $60 net change in non-accrual loans is the effect of placing
one additional  commercial loan on non-accrual status.  Restructured loan totals
have declined slightly since December 31, 1996.


Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income totaled $2,918 for the first nine months of 1997, compared to
$2,432 for that same period of 1996, an increase of $486, or 20.0%.  Noninterest
income for the third quarter increased $246, or 29.1%.

Service  charges on deposit  accounts,  which comprise the largest  component of
noninterest  income,  were up for the first  nine  months of 1997 and up for the
third quarter of 1997 when compared to the same 1996 time periods.  The increase
in service  charge  income was a result  primarily in the  increasing  number of
fee-generating   transactions   originated  from  the  two  supermarket  banking
facilities.

Net gain on loan sales originated and sold in the secondary  mortgage market was
$507  and $277 for the  first  nine  months  of 1997 and 1996  respectively,  an
increase  of $230,  or 83.0%.  For the third  quarter of 1997,  net gain on loan
sales  were  $226,  an  increase  of $111,  or 96.5%  from the prior  year.  The
continued strength of the local economy was a factor in the above increases. But
more  importantly,  additional loan  originators and support staff were added to
this  department,  which  led  to  increased  loan  origination  production  and
improvement in overall operational efficiencies within the department.

Other  service  charges and fees were $462 and $316 for the first nine months of
1997 and 1996,  respectively,  an  increase  of $146,  or  46.2%.  For the third
quarter of 1997, other service charges and fees increased $80, or 67.2% compared
to the prior  year.  ATM fee  income  was $117  higher  than the  previous  year
primarily  as a result of  surcharges  that  were  implemented  on all  non-bank
customer ATM transactions  beginning in May 1997. These surcharge fees accounted
for $100, or 85.5% of the $117 increase.

Noninterest  expense totaled $9,180 for the first nine months of 1997,  compared
to $8,127 for that same period of 1996, an increase of $1,053,  or 13.0%.  Total
noninterest expense for the third quarter of 1997 was $350, or 12.6% higher than
the prior year.

Salary and  employee  benefits  expense  was $5,426 for the first nine months of
1997, an increase of $767,  or 16.5%,  from the $4,659 for the first nine months
of 1996. Total salaries and employee  benefits for the third quarter of 1997 was
$1,866, a $221, or 13.4% increase from the 1996 amount. The largest component of
increase in this category was a $390 expense recorded year-to-date in connection
with the  rising  value of the stock  appreciation  rights.  Along  with  normal
increases  in  salary  and  wage  rates,  increases  were  also  experienced  in
commissions  paid, as the performance of both the secondary  mortgage market and
investment center departments improved significantly over the previous year.

Occupancy  expense  was $659 for the first nine  months of 1997,  an increase of
$83, or 14.4%,  compared to the first nine months of 1996. For the third quarter
of 1997,  occupancy  expense increased $31, or 15.7% compared to the prior year.
Contributing  factors  to higher  1997  costs  were  increased  maintenance  and
repairs,  along with the full year effect of the operating costs associated with
the second supermarket  banking facility and the Monticello branch acquired from
National City Bank during the third quarter of 1996.

Equipment  expenses  were $727 for the first nine months of 1997,  a decrease of
$27, or 3.6%,  compared  to the $754 for the first nine months of 1996.  For the
third quarter of 1997,  equipment expense increased $36, or 15.7% from the prior
year. A large number of fixed assets became fully depreciated  during the latter
part of 1996, which led to a significant decline in depreciation  expense during
1997. This decrease in depreciation  expense was partially offset by the current
rising costs of maintenance and repairs to equipment.

Other  operating  expenses  were  $2,368 for the first nine  months of 1997,  an
increase  of $230,  or 10.8%,  compared  to $2,138 for the first nine  months of
1996. For the third quarter of 1997, other operating  expenses increased $62, or
8.7% from the prior year.  Advertising,  telephone,  postage,  legal  fees,  and
goodwill amortization accounted for 72.2% of the cost increases incurred in this
particular category.


Income Taxes

Income  taxes were $1,942 for the first nine  months of 1997  compared to $1,563
for the first nine months of 1996,  an increase of $379,  or 24.2%.  Compared to
the prior year,  income taxes  increased $193, or 36.4% for the third quarter of
1997.  This increase can be attributed  primarily to the increased  earnings the
Corporation experienced.



FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total  assets  increased  $15,360,  or 3.7% to  $429,751 at  September  30, 1997
compared  to $414,391 at December  31,  1996.  The  majority of the change was a
result of cash and cash  equivalents  increasing  $2,217,  along  with a $33,652
increase  in net  loans and a $1,152  increase  in loans  held for  sale,  while
investment securities declined $21,865 during that same time period.

Total  deposits  increased  $6,747,  or 2.0%, to $348,297 at September 30, 1997,
compared to the total deposits reported nine months earlier. As of September 30,
1997,   short-term  borrowings  decreased  $5,414,  or  22.1%,  while  long-term
borrowings  increased  $10,716,  or 115.7% when  compared  to December  31, 1996
totals.  The  increase in long-term  borrowings  is  attributable  to $11,500 of
Federal Home Loan Bank  borrowings for the purpose of funding the continued loan
growth of the Corporation.


Capital

The Corporation and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital guidelines as
required by federal and state  banking  agencies.  These  guidelines  define the
various components of core capital and assign risk weights to various categories
of assets.

Tier 1 capital  consists of  shareholders'  equity less  goodwill,  core deposit
intangibles,  and the unrealized gain or loss on securities  available-for-sale,
as defined by bank  regulators.  The  definition of Tier 2 capital  includes the
amount of  allowance  for loan losses  which does not exceed 1.25% of gross risk
weighted assets. Total capital is the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.

The minimum  requirements  under the capital guidelines are generally at least a
4.00% leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital  divided by average assets less  intangible
assets and  unrealized  gains/losses),  a 4.00% Tier 1 risk-based  capital ratio
(Tier 1 capital  divided by  risk-weighted  assets),  and a 8.00% total  capital
ratio (Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital divided by risk-weighted assets).

The Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  Improvement  Act of 1991  (FDICIA)
requires  federal  regulatory  agencies  to define  capital  tiers.  These  are:
well-capitalized,   adequately  capitalized,   undercapitalized,   significantly
undercapitalized,  and critically  undercapitalized.  Under these regulations, a
"well-capitalized" institution must achieve a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of
at least 6.00%,  and a total capital  ratio of at least  10.00%,  and a leverage
ratio of at least 5.00% and not be under a capital  directive order.  Failure to
meet  capital  requirements  can  initiate  regulatory  action that could have a
direct  material  effect  on the  Corporation's  financial  statements.  If only
adequately  capitalized;  regulatory  approval is  required  to accept  brokered
deposits.  If  undercapitalized,   capital  distributions,   asset  growth,  and
expansion is limited,  in addition to the institution being required to submit a
capital restoration plan.

Management   believes  the   Corporation  and  the  Bank  met  all  the  capital
requirements  as of September  30, 1997 and  December  31,  1996,  and were well
capitalized under the guidelines  established by the banking  regulators.  To be
well  capitalized,  the Corporation and Bank must maintain the prompt corrective
action capital guidelines described above.

At September  30, 1997 and December  31, 1996,  management  was not aware of any
current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to
be implemented,  would have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect
on the Corporation's consolidated liquidity, capital resources or operations.

The Corporation's  actual consolidated  capital amounts and ratios are presented
in the following  table.  The Bank's actual  capital  amounts and ratios are not
materially different from the consolidated amounts below.

</TABLE>

The  consolidated  statement of cash flows  illustrates  the elements which gave
rise to the change in the  Corporation's  cash and cash equivalents for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996.  Including net income of $3,625,  the
net cash from  operating  activities for the first nine months of 1997 generated
$3,217 of available cash. Net cash from investing activities utilized $12,297 of
available  cash,  primarily  as a result of funding  $33,922  in net  loans.  An
increase in deposits  and the  proceeds  from the net change in  long-term  debt
offset the net decrease in short-term borrowings to generate $11,297 in cash for
the Corporation from financing activities. Total cash inflows for the nine month
period in 1997  exceeded  cash  outflows by $2,217  resulting in a cash and cash
equivalent balance of $31,597 at September 30, 1997.
