                                     PART I

Item 1.       Description of Business

General

         Montgomery   Financial   Corporation  (the  "Company")  is  an  Indiana
corporation   organized  in  April  1997  by  Montgomery   Savings,   a  Federal
Association,  for the purpose of serving as a savings and loan holding  company.
Montgomery Savings Association,  a Federal Association,  was established in 1888
as an Indiana  state-chartered  mutual savings and loan association known as The
Montgomery  Savings  Association.  It  was  converted  in  1985  to a  federally
chartered,  mutual savings and loan association.  On August 11, 1995, Montgomery
Savings Association,  a Federal Association,  transferred  substantially all its
assets  and  liabilities  to  a  federally-chartered   stock  savings  and  loan
association named Montgomery Savings, a Federal Association (the "Association").

         In June 1997, the Company became the holding company of the Association
and issued shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), to
the  public.  Pursuant  to a Plan  of  Conversion  and  Agreement  and  Plan  of
Reorganization  (the "Plan") adopted by the  Association  and Montgomery  Mutual
Holding  Company,  a federally  chartered  mutual  holding  company (the "Mutual
Holding  Company"),  the Mutual Holding Company  converted from mutual form to a
federal interim stock savings institution and was simultaneously merged with and
into the  Association,  with the  Association  being the surviving  entity and a
subsidiary of the Company.  At the same time, the Company  completed its initial
public offering of 1,186,778 shares of Common Stock and exchanged 466,254 shares
of Common  Stock for the  shares of the  Association  previously  held by public
stockholders.

         The  principal  asset of the  Company is the  outstanding  stock of the
Association,  its wholly owned subsidiary. The Company presently has no separate
operations  and its business  consists of the business of the  Association.  All
references to the Company,  unless  otherwise  indicated,  at or before June 30,
1997, refer to the Association.

         The   Association   conducts   business  from  five  offices,   two  in
Crawfordsville (Montgomery county), Indiana, one in Covington (Fountain county),
Indiana,  one in Williamsport  (Warren  county),  Indiana,  and one in Lafayette
(Tippecanoe  county),  Indiana.  The Company's  principal  executive offices are
located  at 119  East  Main  Street,  Crawfordsville,  Indiana  47933,  and  its
telephone  number is (765)  362-4710.  At June 30,  2000,  the  Company  and its
subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) had total assets of $138.1 million, total
liabilities  of $121.1  million,  including  $91.5  million of  deposits,  $28.2
million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances,  and total  stockholders'  equity of
$17.0  million.  The  deposits  of the  Association  are  insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance  Corporation ("FDIC") under the Savings Association  Insurance
Fund ("SAIF").  The  Association is subject to regulation and examination by the
Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS").

         The  Association is primarily  engaged in attracting  deposits from the
general public through its offices and using those and other  available  sources
of  funds  to  originate  loans  secured  by  one-  to  four-family  residences.
Approximately  99.5% of the  Association's  depositors  reside  in the  State of
Indiana.  One- to four-family  residential  loans amounted to $93.9 million,  or
77.9%, of the  Association's  total loan portfolio at June 30, 2000. To a lesser
extent,  the  Association  originates  loans  secured by  existing  multi-family
residential and nonresidential real estate,  which amounted to $18.2 million, or
15.1%,  of the total loan  portfolio at June 30, 2000,  as well as  construction
loans and consumer loans, which amounted to $3.6 million,  or 3.0%, of the total
loan  portfolio and $4.9 million,  or 4.0%, of the total loan  portfolio at such
date, respectively.  The Association also invests in U.S. Government and federal
agency obligations and  mortgage-backed  securities which are insured by federal
agencies.  The  Association  has one wholly owned  subsidiary  corporation,  MSA
SERVICE CORP ("MSA"). MSA engages in real estate management.

         At June 30, 2000, the  Association  exceeded all of its minimum capital
requirements.  Management attributes its strong capital position to its focus on
loans secured by residential properties and a conservative lending philosophy on
other types of loans.

Lending Activities

         The  Association's   revenue  consists  primarily  of  interest  income
generated by lending  activities,  including  the  origination  of  conventional
fixed-rate and variable-rate mortgage loans on one- to four-family homes located
in the  Association's  primary market area and consumer loans secured by savings
deposits,  residential real estate, and various other items of collateral.  To a
lesser extent,  mortgage loans on multi-unit and  nonresidential  properties are
also offered by the Association.  The Association does not make loans insured by
the Federal Housing  Authority ("FHA loans") or loans guaranteed by the Veterans
Administration ("VA loans").

         At June 30, 2000, the  Association's  net loan portfolio totaled $119.1
million.  Loans secured by first  mortgages on one- to  four-family  residences,
including   construction  loans,   totaled  $97.5  million,  or  80.9%,  of  the
Association's loan portfolio at June 30, 2000, before net items. The Association
originates  and retains its mortgage  loan  portfolio,  and  currently  does not
originate mortgage loans for sale to the secondary market.

         Loans to One Borrower.  Under OTS regulations,  the aggregate amount of
loans  that the  Association  can make to any one  borrower  (including  related
entities  with  certain  exceptions),  is limited  to an amount  equal to 15% of
unimpaired  capital and retained  income on an unsecured basis and an additional
amount equal to 10% of  unimpaired  capital and  retained  income if the loan is
secured by readily marketable collateral (generally financial  instruments,  not
real  estate) or  $500,000,  whichever  is  higher.  The  Association's  maximum
loan-to-one  borrower limit was approximately  $2.3 million as of June 30, 2000.
The Association's largest amount outstanding to one borrower or group of related
borrowers  was a group of loans  secured by  unimproved  land and a motel in the
aggregate  amount  of $2.2  million.  All of the  loans  to this  borrower  have
performed in accordance with their terms since their origination.

         Loan Portfolio Data. The following table presents  certain  information
about the  composition  of the  Association's  loan  portfolio  by loan type and
security type as of the dates indicated.

         Residential  Loans. The primary lending activity of the Association has
been the origination of  conventional  loans for the acquisition or construction
of  single-family  residences.  The Association also originates loans on two- to
four-family  dwellings and multi-family housing (over four units). Each of these
types of loans is  secured  by a  mortgage  on the  underlying  real  estate and
improvements thereon, if any.

         OTS  regulations  limit the amount  which the  Association  may lend in
relationship to the appraised value of the underlying real estate at the time of
loan  origination.  In accordance with such  regulations,  the Association makes
loans on single family  residences up to 90% of the value of the real estate and
improvements (the  "Loan-to-Value  Ratio" or "LTV"). The Association makes loans
from time to time of  between  90% and 95% of the value of the real  estate  and
obtains private mortgage  insurance on those loans to reduce its exposure to 80%
of the real estate's  value or makes such loans on an uninsured  basis as a part
of the Association's  Community  Reinvestment Program for first-time buyers with
low to moderate incomes.

         Adjustable-rate  mortgage loans ("ARMs") are offered by the Association
for terms of normally 15 to 20 years, although Association will offer such loans
up to terms of 25 years.  The interest rate  adjustment  periods on the ARMs are
usually one year. The maximum  adjustment at each  adjustment date is usually 2%
with a maximum average  adjustment of 4% over the term of the loan. The interest
rate  adjustments on ARMs presently  originated by the  Association  are tied to
changes in the monthly average yield of U.S. Treasury  securities  adjusted to a
constant maturity of one year.

         The Association offers fixed-rate  mortgage loans for terms of up to 20
years.  Due to the nature of an investment in fixed-rate  mortgage  loans,  such
loans could have a negative effect upon the  Association's  interest rate spread
because such loans do not reprice as quickly as the Association's cost of funds.
Actual  experience  reveals,  however,  that,  as a  result  of  prepayments  in
connection with refinancings and sales of the underlying properties, residential
loans  generally  remain  outstanding  for periods  which are  shorter  than the
maturity of such loans,  although  not as short as the periods in which the cost
of funds is typically repricing.

         Of the total real estate loans originated by the Association during the
year ended June 30, 2000, 10.1% were ARMs and 89.9% were fixed-rate loans.

         The  Association's  one- to  four-family  residential  loan  portfolio,
including residential construction loans, totaled approximately $97.5 million at
June  30,  2000,  and  represented  70.6%  of total  assets  and  80.9% of total
outstanding  loans.   Adjustable-rate  one-  to  four-family  residential  loans
comprised 16.5% and fixed- rate loans totaled 61.4% of the  Association's  total
loans at June 30, 2000.

         Construction  Loans. The Association  offers  residential  construction
loans to  owner-occupants  and  occasionally to builders.  At June 30, 2000, the
Association had $3.6 million in outstanding residential construction loans.

         Construction  loans generally involve greater  underwriting and default
risks than do loans secured by mortgages on existing properties.  Loan funds are
advanced  upon the  security of the project  under  construction,  which is more
difficult to value before the completion of construction.  Moreover,  because of
the uncertainties  inherent in estimating  construction  costs, it is relatively
difficult  to evaluate  accurately  the total loan funds  required to complete a
project  and the  related  Loan-to-Value  Ratios.  In the event a  default  on a
construction loan occurs and foreclosure  follows, the Association would have to
take  control of the  project and attempt  either to arrange for  completion  of
construction or to dispose of the unfinished project.

         Nonresidential  Real Estate Loans. The Association  makes loans secured
by raw land and  nonresidential  real  estate  consisting  of farms and  various
retail and other  income-producing  properties.  At June 30,  2000,  these loans
totaled $16.7 million, or approximately 13.9%, of the Association's total loans.

         Nonresidential real estate lending is generally considered to involve a
higher degree of risk than residential lending due to the relatively larger loan
amounts  and the  effects  of  general  economic  conditions  on the  successful
operation of  income-producing  properties.  The  Association  has endeavored to
reduce this risk by carefully evaluating the credit history and past performance
of the borrower, the location of the real estate, the quality of the management,
the debt service  ratio,  the quality and  characteristics  of the income stream
generated by the property and appraisals  supporting  the property's  valuation.
Federal  regulations limit the amount of nonresidential  mortgage loans which an
association can make to 400% of its capital.

         Consumer  Loans.  The  Association  makes consumer  loans  primarily to
depositors on the security of their savings deposits and loans secured by second
real estate  mortgages.  To a lesser extent,  unsecured loans are made to credit
worthy deposit and mortgage customers of the Association.  Second mortgage loans
may have terms as long as 15 years  depending  upon the  nature of the  request.
Such loans are  limited in amount by  determining  100% of the value of the real
estate and substracting any prior liens.

         Although  regulations  permit the Association to lend up to 100% of the
value of savings  deposits  pledged as collateral for loans,  the  Association's
normal  policy is to loan no more than 95% of the current  principal  balance of
pledged accounts.  The current interest rate charged on such pledged accounts is
usually 2% above the rate paid on the underlying deposit.

         At June 30, 2000,  consumer loans totaled $4.9 million, or 4.0%, of the
Association's total loans.

         Originations,  Purchase  and  Sale  of  Loans.  Loan  originations  are
developed from a number of sources, including solicitations by the Association's
staff,  continuing  business with  depositors and other  borrowers,  real estate
agents, newspaper and radio advertising and walk-in customers.

         Mortgage loan applications are taken by one of the  Association's  loan
officers.  The Association  obtains a credit report,  verification of employment
and other documentation  concerning the  creditworthiness of the borrower and an
appraisal  of the fair market  value of the real  estate  which will be given as
security for the loan.  Appraisals  are  performed by a designated  licensed fee
appraiser approved by the Board of Directors. Such loans are subject to approval
upon  the  completion  of  the  appraisal  and  the  receipt  of  all  necessary
information on the credit history and creditworthiness of the borrower. At least
two Board members must approve all loans over  $250,000.  All approved loans are
reported to the full Board at their regular monthly meeting.

         If a mortgage loan  application is approved,  satisfactory  evidence of
merchantable  title is obtained on the real estate and  improvements  which will
secure the mortgage loan.  Borrowers are required to carry satisfactory fire and
casualty  insurance  and  flood  insurance,  if  applicable,  and  to  name  the
Association as an insured mortgagee.

         The procedure for approval of construction/permanent  loans is the same
as for residential mortgage loans, except that for construction/permanent  loans
the Association  evaluates the building plans,  construction  specifications and
estimates of construction  costs. The Association also evaluates the feasibility
of the  proposed  construction  project  and the  experience  and  record of the
builder.

         Consumer loans are  underwritten on the basis of the borrower's  credit
history,  the value of the collateral  and an analysis of the borrower's  income
and expenses and ability to repay the loan.

         The following table shows total loans  originated and repaid during the
periods indicated.

         Origination  and Other Fees. The Association  realizes  interest income
from its lending  activities and also realizes income from late payment charges,
credit life and  disability  insurance  premium  commissions  and fees for other
miscellaneous services.

Non-Performing and Problem Assets

         The Association attempts to minimize loan delinquencies through careful
underwriting procedures.  When mortgage loans become delinquent, the Association
attempts to bring the loans current  through the  assessment of late charges and
adherence to its  established  collection  procedures.  Generally,  after a loan
payment is 15 days delinquent,  a late charge of 5% of the amount of the payment
is assessed and the Association  contacts the borrower to request  payment.  The
Association generally will initiate foreclosure  proceedings only after attempts
to obtain a deed in lieu of foreclosure are  unsuccessful or  inappropriate  and
when it becomes apparent that the loan will not be collectible or the collateral
is  becoming  inadequate  to  support  payments  of the  total  debt.  The above
procedure similarly applies to consumer loans.

         Real estate  acquired by the  Association as a result of foreclosure or
by deed in lieu of  foreclosure  and real  estate  securing  loans  deemed to be
foreclosed in substance are  classified as "real estate owned" until sold.  When
property is so acquired,  or deemed to have been acquired, it is recorded at the
lower of the unpaid principal  balance of the loan or the fair value of the real
estate at the date of acquisition,  not to exceed net fair value minus estimated
costs to sell.  Periodically,  real estate  owned is reviewed to ensure that the
fair value minus estimated costs to sell is no less than the carrying value and,
if it is, the  difference  is charged to earnings as a loss.  Costs  relating to
development and improvement of property are capitalized,  whereas costs relating
to the holding of property are expensed.

         Non-Performing Assets. At June 30, 2000,  $1,431,000,  or 1.01%, of the
Association's total assets were non-performing  assets compared to $814,000,  or
0.66%, of its total assets at June 30, 1999. At June 30, 2000, residential loans
and  consumer  loans  accounted  for  $928,000  and  $37,000,  respectively,  of
non-performing assets. The balance of non-performing assets consisted of $25,000
in  nonresidential  mortgage  loans and  $441,000  of real  estate  acquired  in
settlement of loans.

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

   to total loans.................     3.04%            2.99%             2.59%

         All loans are reviewed on a regular basis and are placed on non-accrual
status  when,  in the opinion of  management,  the  collection  of  principal or
interest is doubtful.  Interest  accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed
on non-accrual  status is charged against interest income.  Subsequent  payments
are either applied to the outstanding  principal balance or recorded as interest
income,  depending on management's  assessment of the ultimate collectibility of
the loan.

         Classified  Assets.  Federal  regulations and the  Association's  Asset
Classification  Policy provide for the  classification of loans and other assets
such as debt and equity securities considered by the OTS 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 specific loss reserve is not warranted.

         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 to establish a
specific  allowance  for  losses  equal to 100% of the  amount  of the  asset so
classified or to charge off such amount.  An  institution's  determination as to
the  classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation  allowances is
subject  to review by the OTS which can order the  establishment  of  additional
general or specific loss allowances.

         At  June  30,  2000,  1999  and  1998,  the  aggregate  amounts  of the
Association's classified assets were as follows:

         The  Association  regularly  reviews its loan  portfolio  to  determine
whether  any  loans  require   classification   in  accordance  with  applicable
regulations. As of the date of its most recent examination,  the Association had
no   disagreement   with  the   Office  of  Thrift   Supervision   as  to  asset
classifications.

Allowance for Loan Losses

         The allowance  for loan losses is maintained  through the provision for
loan losses,  which is charged to  earnings.  The  allowance  for loan losses is
determined  in  conjunction  with the  Association's  review and  evaluation  of
current economic  conditions  (including those of its 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 review of the loan portfolio.  In management's opinion,
the  Association's  allowance  for loan losses is  adequate  to absorb  probable
losses inherent in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2000. However, there can be no
assurance that regulators,  when reviewing the  Association'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 its loan portfolio.

         Summary of Loan Loss Experience.  The following tables presents changes
in the allowance during the past three fiscal years ended June 30, 2000.

Sources of Funds

         General.  Deposits have  traditionally  been the primary  source of the
Association's  funds for use in  lending  and other  investment  activities.  In
addition to deposits,  the Association  derives funds from interest payments and
principal  repayments on loans and income on earning assets. Loan payments are a
relatively stable source of funds,  while deposit inflows and outflows fluctuate
more in  response  to  general  interest  rates  and  money  market  conditions.
Borrowings  from the FHLB of  Indianapolis  are  used on a  short-term  basis to
compensate for reductions in the  availability of funds from other sources or on
a longer term basis for general business purposes.

         Deposits.   Deposits  are   attracted   principally   from  within  the
Association's primary market area through the offering of a selection of deposit
instruments,  including NOW accounts,  regular passbook savings  accounts,  term
certificate accounts and retirement savings plans. Interest rates paid, maturity
terms,  service fees and withdrawal  penalties for the various types of accounts
are  established  on a  periodic  basis  by the  Association's  chief  executive
officer, subject to review by the Board of Directors, based on the Association's
liquidity requirements, growth goals and interest rates paid by competitors. The
Association does not presently use brokers to attract deposits.

         The Association's  deposits as of June 30, 2000 were represented by the
various types of savings programs described below.

         Deposit  flows  historically  have been  related  to  general  economic
conditions. To address these historical trends, the Association,  as well as the
thrift industry as a whole,  has increasingly  relied on short-term  certificate
accounts  and other  deposit  alternatives  that are more  responsive  to market
conditions  than  passbook  accounts and  long-term  certificates.  This greater
variety of deposit  accounts has allowed the Association to be more  competitive
in obtaining  funds.  At the same time,  however,  these sources of funds can be
more costly than traditional sources. In addition,  the Association at times has
become  increasingly  subject to  short-term  fluctuations  in deposit  flows as
customers  have  become  more  interest-rate   conscious.  The  ability  of  the
Association to attract and maintain savings deposits and the Association's  cost
of funds have been,  and will  continue to be,  significantly  affected by money
market conditions.  The Association  continues to rely upon its core deposits to
support its operations.

         Borrowings.  The  FHLB  System  functions  as a  central  reserve  bank
providing  credit  for its  member  institutions  and  certain  other  financial
institutions.  As a member in good  standing  of the FHLB of  Indianapolis,  the
Association  is authorized to apply for advances from the FHLB of  Indianapolis,
provided certain standards of creditworthiness  have been met. Advances are made
pursuant to several  different  programs,  each having its own interest rate and
range of  maturities.  Depending  on the program,  limitations  on the amount of
advances are based either on a fixed percentage of an  institution's  regulatory
capital or on the FHLB's assessment of the institution's creditworthiness. Under
current  regulations,  an  association  must meet certain  qualifications  to be
eligible for FHLB  advances.  The extent to which an association is eligible for
such  advances  depends upon whether it meets the  Qualified  Thrift Lender Test
(the "QTL  Test").  If a  savings  institution  meets  the QTL Test,  it will be
eligible for 100% of the advances it would otherwise be eligible to receive.  If
a savings  institution  does not meet the QTL Test, it will be eligible for such
advances  only to the extent it holds  specified  QTL Test  assets.  At June 30,
2000, the Association was in compliance with the QTL Test.

         The following table sets forth the maximum amount of the  Association's
FHLB advances during the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 along with the

Service Corporation

         OTS regulations  permit federal  savings  associations to invest in the
capital  stock,   obligations  or  other   specified   types  of  securities  of
subsidiaries  (referred to as "service  corporations") and to make loans to such
subsidiaries  and joint ventures in which such  subsidiaries are participants in
an  aggregate  amount not  exceeding  2% of the  association's  assets,  plus an
additional 1% of assets if the amount over 2% is used for specified community or
inner-city  development  purposes.  In  addition,   federal  regulations  permit
associations to make specified types of loans to such  subsidiaries  (other than
special purpose finance  subsidiaries)  in which the association  owns more than
10% of the stock, in an aggregate amount not exceeding 50% of the  association's
regulatory capital if the association's regulatory capital is in compliance with
applicable  regulations.  A savings  association  that  acquires  a  non-savings
association  subsidiary,  or that  elects  to  conduct a new  activity  within a
subsidiary,  must  give the FDIC  and the OTS at least 30 days  advance  written
notice.  The FDIC  may,  after  consultation  with the OTS,  prohibit  specified
activities if it determines  such  activities pose a serious threat to the SAIF.
Moreover,  a savings  association  must deduct  from  capital,  for  purposes of
meeting the core capital,  tangible capital and risk-based capital requirements,
its entire  investment in and loans to a subsidiary  engaged in  activities  not
permissible for a national bank (other than  exclusively  agency  activities for
its customers or mortgage banking subsidiaries).

         The Association currently owns one subsidiary,  MSA Service Corporation
("MSA"), a real estate management company. At present,  MSA owns a tract of land
which is being developed for the  construction of 15 condominium  units. At June
30, 2000, MSA had total assets of $502,000, liabilities of $93,000 and net worth
of  $409,000.  MSA had net income of $7,000  and a net loss of  $11,000  for the
years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Employees

         As of June 30, 2000, the Association  employed 48 persons,  of which 48
are full-time  equivalent  employees.  None of the employees of Association  are
represented by a collective  bargaining unit and management  considers  employee
relations to be excellent.  Employee  benefits for the  Association's  full-time
employees include,  among other thing, health insurance,  disability  insurance,
life insurance and participation in a 401(k) retirement plan.

                                   COMPETITION

         The  Association's  market  area  consists  of  Montgomery,   Fountain,
Tippecanoe and Warren counties,  Indiana.  The home office of the Association is
located in Crawfordsville, Montgomery county, Indiana and its branch offices are
in Fountain,  Tippecanoe  and Warren  counties.  The market area in  Montgomery,
Fountain  and  Warren  counties  is  characterized  by a  lower  growth  rate in
population  and  moderately  lower  unemployment   levels.  This  market  area's
strongest employment categories are manufacturing, services and wholesale/retail
trade with a lower level of  residents  employed in the  agriculture  and mining
industry  category.  In  addition  to a  large  agricultural  base,  Montgomery,
Fountain and Warren counties have over 40 major industrial  businesses employing
over 10,000 workers. These businesses manufacture travel trailers,  bottle caps,
industrial lighting, steel and car parts as well as many other products.

         The  Association's  branch  office in  Tippecanoe  county was opened in
April 1999. The addition of this branch office has provided the Association with
an  opportunity  to  enter  into a market  area  with a  higher  growth  rate in
population and higher average  household income levels than in the Association's
other three county market area. Economic activity in Tippecanoe county continues
to grow as new and existing businesses and manufacturers  announce expansion and
workforce  additions.  Tippecanoe  county's  labor force totals  nearly  100,000
workers. In 1998, Industry Week magazine ranked Lafayette among the nation's top
25 in growth and total number of manufacturing jobs.

         In its market area,  the  Association  competes for deposits with other
savings institutions, commercial banks and credit unions. The primary factors in
competing for deposits are interest rates and convenience of office location. In
lending,  the Association competes with other savings  institutions,  commercial
banks,  consumer finance companies,  credit unions,  leasing companies and other
lenders.  The Association  competes for loan originations  primarily through the
interest  rates and loan fees it charges and through the  efficiency and quality
of services it provides to  borrowers.  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.

         On June 30,  1999,  the latest  date for which such data is  available,
there were approximately 23 different financial  institutions with a total of 46
offices in Montgomery,  Fountain and Warren  counties.  According to information
provided by the FDIC, these  institutions held  approximately  $820.3 million in
deposits in those 46 banking offices.  The Association held approximately  11.2%
of the deposits in the three county area. As of June 30, 1999, Tippecanoe county
had 17  different  financial  institutions  with $1.9  billion in deposits in 52
offices.  The April  1999  opening  of the  Lafayette  office  has  allowed  the
Association  to enter  into a market  area  with the same  number  of  financial
institutions  and over two times  the  available  deposits  as  compared  to the
Association's other three county market area. Similar information is not readily
available for loans.

                                   REGULATION

General

         As  a  federally  chartered,   SAIF-insured  savings  association,  the
Association  is subject to  extensive  regulation  by the OTS and the FDIC.  For
example,  the  Association  must  obtain  OTS  approval  before it may engage in
certain  activities  and must file reports with the OTS regarding its activities
and financial condition.  The OTS periodically  examines the Association's books
and  records  and,  in  conjunction  with the FDIC in  certain  situations,  has
examination and enforcement powers. This supervision and regulation are intended
primarily for the protection of depositors and federal deposit  insurance funds.
A savings association must pay a semi-annual  assessment to the OTS based upon a
marginal  assessment  rate  that  decreases  as the  asset  size of the  savings
association  increases,  and  which  includes  a  fixed-cost  component  that is
assessed on all savings  associations.  The  assessment  rate that  applies to a
savings  association  depends upon the institution's  size,  condition,  and the
complexity  of its  operations.  The  Association's  semi-annual  assessment  is
approximately $18,000.

         The  Association is also subject to federal and state  regulation as to
such  matters  as loans  to  officers,  directors,  or  principal  shareholders,
required  reserves,  limitations  as to the  nature  and amount of its loans and
investments,  regulatory  approval of any merger or consolidation,  issuances or
retirements of the Association's securities,  and limitations upon other aspects
of banking operations.  In addition, the Association's activities and operations
are  subject  to  a  number  of  additional  detailed,   complex  and  sometimes
overlapping  federal and state laws and  regulations.  These include state usury
and  consumer  credit  laws,  state laws  relating to  fiduciaries,  the Federal
Truth-In-Lending  Act and Regulation Z, the Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act
and Regulation B, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Community Reinvestment Act,
anti-redlining legislation and antitrust laws.

Savings and Loan Holding Company Regulation

         The Company,  as the holding company for the Association,  is regulated
as a  "non-diversified  savings and loan holding  company" within the meaning of
the Home Owners' Loan Act, as amended (the  "HOLA"),  and subject to  regulatory
oversight of the Director of the OTS. As such,  the Company is  registered  with
the OTS and is thereby subject to OTS regulations, examinations, supervision and
reporting  requirements.  As a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company,
the  Association  is subject to certain  restrictions  in its dealings  with the
Company and with other companies affiliated with the Company.

         In general,  the HOLA  prohibits a savings  and loan  holding  company,
without  obtaining the prior approval of the Director of the OTS, from acquiring
control of another  savings  association or savings and loan holding  company or
retaining  more than 5% of the  voting  shares of a  savings  association  or of
another holding  company which is not a subsidiary.  The HOLA also restricts the
ability of a director  or  officer of the  Company,  or any person who owns more
than 25% of the common stock of the Company,  from acquiring  control of another
savings  association or savings and loan holding company  without  obtaining the
prior approval of the Director of the OTS.

         The Company  currently  operates as a unitary  savings and loan holding
company. Prior to the enactment of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "GLB Act") on
November  12,  1999,  there were no  restrictions  on the  permissible  business
activities of a unitary savings and loan holding company. The GLB Act included a
provision  that  prohibits  any new unitary  savings and loan  holding  company,
defined as a company that acquires a thrift after May 4, 1999,  from engaging in
commercial  activities.  This  provision  also  includes a  grandfather  clause,
however,  that permits a company that was a savings and loan holding  company as
of May 4,  1999,  or had an  application  to become a savings  and loan  holding
company on file with the OTS as of that date, to acquire and continue to control
a thrift and to continue to engage in commercial activities. Because the Company
qualifies  under  this  grandfather  provision,  the GLB Act did not  affect the
Company's authority to engage in diversified business activities.

         Notwithstanding  the above rules as to permissible  business activities
of unitary  savings  and loan  holding  companies,  if the  savings  association
subsidiary  of such a  holding  company  fails to meet the QTL  test,  then such
unitary  holding company would be deemed to be a bank holding company subject to
all of the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and other statutes
applicable  to bank  holding  companies,  to the same  extent as if the  holding
company were a bank holding company and its subsidiary savings  association were
a bank. See  "-Qualified  Thrift  Lender." At June 30, 2000,  the  Association's
asset composition exceeded that required to qualify the respective  institutions
as Qualified Thrift Lenders.

         If the Company were to acquire control of another  savings  association
other than through a merger or other business  combination with the Association,
the Company would thereupon  become a multiple savings and loan holding company.
Except where such acquisition is pursuant to the authority to approve  emergency
thrift  acquisitions and where each subsidiary savings association meets the QTL
test, the activities of the Company and any of its subsidiaries  (other than the
Association  or other  subsidiary  savings  associations)  would  thereafter  be
subject to further restrictions.  The HOLA provides that, among other things, no
multiple  savings and loan holding company or subsidiary  thereof which is not a
savings  association  shall  commence or continue  for a limited  period of time
after  becoming a  multiple  savings  and loan  holding  company  or  subsidiary
thereof,   any  business  activity  other  than  (i)  furnishing  or  performing
management  services for a subsidiary  savings  association,  (ii) conducting an
insurance agency or escrow  business,  (iii) holding,  managing,  or liquidating
assets owned by or acquired from a subsidiary savings association,  (iv) holding
or managing properties used or occupied by a subsidiary savings association, (v)
acting  as  trustee  under  deeds of trust,  (vi)  those  activities  previously
directly  authorized  by the  FSLIC by  regulation  as of March 5,  1987,  to be
engaged in by multiple holding companies,  or (vii) those activities  authorized
by the  Federal  Reserve  Board  (the  "FRB") as  permissible  for bank  holding
companies, unless the Director of the OTS by regulation prohibits or limits such
activities for savings and loan holding companies. Those activities described in
(vii) above must also be  approved by the  Director of the OTS before a multiple
holding company may engage in such activities.

         The Director of the OTS may also approve acquisitions  resulting in the
formation of a multiple  savings and loan holding company which controls savings
associations  in more than one state,  if the multiple  savings and loan holding
company involved controls a savings  association which operated a home or branch
office in the state of the association to be acquired as of March 5, 1987, or if
the  laws of the  state in which  the  association  to be  acquired  is  located
specifically permit associations to be acquired by state-chartered  associations
or savings and loan holding  companies  located in the state where the acquiring
entity is located (or by a holding  company that controls  such  state-chartered
savings associations).  Also, the Director of the OTS may approve an acquisition
resulting in a multiple  savings and loan holding  company  controlling  savings
associations  in more than one  state in the case of  certain  emergency  thrift
acquisitions.

         Indiana  law  permits  federal and state  savings  association  holding
companies with their home offices  located outside of Indiana to acquire savings
associations  whose home offices are located in Indiana and savings  association
holding  companies with their principal  place of business in Indiana  ("Indiana
Savings  Association Holding Companies") upon receipt of approval by the Indiana
Department of Financial  Institutions.  Moreover,  Indiana  Savings  Association
Holding  Companies  may acquire  savings  associations  with their home  offices
located outside of Indiana and savings  association holding companies with their
principal place of business  located outside of Indiana upon receipt of approval
by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions.

         No subsidiary savings association of a savings and loan holding company
may declare or pay a dividend on its permanent or  nonwithdrawable  stock unless
it  first  gives  the  Director  of the  OTS 30  days  advance  notice  of  such
declaration  and payment.  Any dividend  declared  during such period or without
giving notice shall be invalid.

Federal Home Loan Bank System

         The Association is a member of the FHLB of  Indianapolis,  which is one
of twelve regional FHLBs.  Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its
members  within its assigned  region.  The FHLB is funded  primarily  from funds
deposited by banks and savings  associations  and proceeds derived from the sale
of consolidated obligations of the FHLB system. It makes loans to members (i.e.,
advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by the Board of
Directors of the FHLB.  All FHLB  advances  must be fully  secured by sufficient
collateral  as  determined  by the  FHLB.  The  Federal  Housing  Finance  Board
("FHFB"), an independent agency, controls the FHLB System, including the FHLB of
Indianapolis.

         Prior to the  enactment of the GLB Act, a federal  savings  association
was required to become a member of the FHLB for the district in which the thrift
is  located.  The GLB Act  abolished  this  requirement,  effective  six  months
following the enactment of the statute.  At that time,  membership with the FHLB
became voluntary.  Any savings  association that chooses to become (or remain) a
member of the FHLB  following  the  expiration  of this  six-month  period  must
qualify for membership under the criteria that existed prior to the enactment of
the GLB Act. The Association currently intends to remain a member of the FHLB of
Indianapolis.

         As a member of the FHLB,  the  Association  is required to purchase and
maintain stock in the FHLB of  Indianapolis in an amount equal to at least 1% of
its aggregate unpaid  residential  mortgage loans, home purchase  contracts,  or
similar  obligations  at the  beginning  of each  year.  At June 30,  2000,  the
Company's  investment in stock of the FHLB of Indianapolis was $1.9 million. The
FHLB  imposes  various  limitations  on advances  such as limiting the amount of
certain types of real estate-related collateral to 30% of a member's capital and
limiting  total  advances to a member.  Interest rates charged for advances vary
depending upon maturity,  the cost of funds to the FHLB of Indianapolis  and the
purpose of the borrowing.

         The FHLBs are required to provide funds for the  resolution of troubled
savings  associations  and to contribute to affordable  housing programs through
direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment
and low- and  moderate-income  housing projects.  For the fiscal year ended June
30, 2000,  dividends paid by the FHLB of Indianapolis to the Association totaled
approximately $141,000, for an annual rate of 8.0%.

Insurance of Deposits

         Deposit  Insurance.  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 BIF for commercial banks
and state  savings  banks  and the SAIF for  savings  associations,  such as the
Association,   and  for  banks  that  have   acquired   deposits   from  savings
associations.  The FDIC is required to maintain designated levels of reserves in
each fund.  During 1996,  the reserves of the SAIF were below the level required
by law, primarily because a significant portion of the assessments paid into the
SAIF had been used to pay the cost of prior thrift failures,  while the reserves
of the BIF met the level  required by law.  In 1996,  however,  legislation  was
enacted to recapitalize the SAIF and eliminate the premium disparity between the
BIF and SAIF. See "- Assessments" below.

         Assessments.  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  these rates if the 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. An institution's  risk level is
determined  based on its  capital  level  and the  FDIC's  level of  supervisory
concern about the institution.

         In 1996,  legislation was enacted that included  provisions designed to
recapitalize the SAIF and eliminate the significant  premium  disparity  between
the BIF and the SAIF.  Under the new law, the Association was charged a one-time
special  assessment equal to $.657 per $100 in assessable  deposits at March 31,
1995. The  Association  recognized  this one-time  assessment as a non-recurring
operating  expense during the three-month  period ending  September 30, 1996 and
paid this assessment during the fourth quarter of 1996. The assessment was fully
deductible for both federal and state income tax purposes.  Beginning January 1,
1997, the  Association's  annual deposit insurance premium was reduced from .23%
to .0644% of total assessable  deposits.  BIF institutions pay lower assessments
than comparable SAIF  institutions  because BIF institutions pay only 20% of the
rate paid by SAIF  institutions  on their  deposits with respect to  obligations
issued  by  the  federally-chartered  corporation  which  provided  some  of the
financing to resolve the thrift crisis in the 1980's ("FICO"). Although Congress
has considered merging the SAIF and the BIF, until such a merger occurs, savings
associations  with SAIF  deposits may not transfer  deposits into the BIF system
without  paying  various  exit and entrance  fees,  and SAIF  institutions  will
continue to pay higher FICO assessments. Such exit and entrance fees need not be
paid if a SAIF institution  converts to a bank charter or merges with a bank, as
long as the resulting bank continues to pay applicable insurance  assessments to
the SAIF, and as long as certain other conditions are met.

Savings Association Regulatory Capital

         Currently,  savings  associations are subject to three separate minimum
capital-to-assets  requirements:  (i) a leverage limit,  (ii) a tangible capital
requirement,  and (iii) a risk-based  capital  requirement.  The leverage  limit
requires that savings  associations  maintain  "core  capital" of at least 3% of
total assets. Core capital is generally defined as common  shareholders'  equity
(including retained income), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related
surplus,   certain  minority  equity   interests  in  subsidiaries,   qualifying
supervisory  goodwill,  purchased mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit
card relationships  (subject to certain limits) less nonqualifying  intangibles.
The OTS recently  amended this requirement to require a core capital level of 3%
of total  adjusted  assets for  savings  associations  that  receive the highest
rating  for  safety  and  soundness,   and  4%  to  5%  for  all  other  savings
associations.  This amendment became effective April 1, 1999. Under the tangible
capital requirement,  a savings association must maintain tangible capital (core
capital less all intangible  assets except purchased  mortgage  servicing rights
which may be included after making the above-noted adjustment in an amount up to
100% of tangible capital) of at least 1.5% of total assets. Under the risk-based
capital  requirements,  a minimum  amount of  capital  must be  maintained  by a
savings  association  to account for the relative risks inherent in the type and
amount  of  assets  held by the  savings  association.  The  risk-based  capital
requirement   requires  a  savings  association  to  maintain  capital  (defined
generally for these purposes as core capital plus general  valuation  allowances
and  permanent  or maturing  capital  instruments  such as  preferred  stock and
subordinated  debt,  less  assets  required  to be  deducted)  equal  to 8.0% of
risk-weighted  assets.  Assets are  ranked as to risk in one of four  categories
(0-100%).  A credit  risk-free  asset,  such as  cash,  requires  no  risk-based
capital,  while an asset with a significant  credit risk,  such as a non-accrual
loan,  requires a risk  factor of 100%.  Moreover,  a savings  association  must
deduct from capital, for purposes of meeting the core capital,  tangible capital
and risk-based  capital  requirements,  its entire  investment in and loans to a
subsidiary engaged in activities not permissible for a national bank (other than
exclusively   agency   activities   for  its   customers  or  mortgage   banking
subsidiaries).  At June 30, 2000,  the  Association  was in compliance  with all
capital requirements imposed by law.

         The OTS has  promulgated  a rule which sets forth the  methodology  for
calculating an interest rate risk  component to be used by savings  associations
in calculating  regulatory  capital.  The OTS has delayed the  implementation of
this rule, however.  The rule requires savings  associations with "above normal"
interest rate risk  (institutions  whose portfolio equity would decline in value
by more than 2% of assets in the event of a hypothetical 200-basis-point move in
interest rates) to maintain  additional capital for interest rate risk under the
risk-based capital framework.  Even though the OTS has delayed implementing this
rule, the Association nevertheless measures its interest rate risk in conformity
with the OTS  regulation.  As of June 30,  2000,  the  Association,  had it been
subject to reporting,  would have been required to deduct approximately $730,000
from  its  total  capital   available  to  calculate  its   risk-based   capital
requirement.  The OTS recently updated its standards regarding the management of
interest rate risk to include summary guidelines to assist savings  associations
in determining their exposures to interest rate risk.

         If an association is not in compliance  with the capital  requirements,
the OTS is required to prohibit  asset growth and to impose a capital  directive
that may restrict,  among other  things,  the payment of dividends and officers'
compensation. In addition, the OTS and the FDIC generally are authorized to take
enforcement actions against a savings association that fails to meet its capital
requirements.  These actions may include restricting the operating activities of
the association,  imposing a capital directive, cease and desist order, or civil
money  penalties,  or imposing harsher measures such as appointing a receiver or
conservator or forcing the association to merge into another institution.

Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action

         The  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  Improvement  Act of 1991
("FedICIA")   requires,   among  other  things,  that  federal  bank  regulatory
authorities take "prompt corrective action" with respect to institutions 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,
2000, the Association was  categorized as "well  capitalized,"  meaning that its
total risk-based capital ratio exceeded 10%, its Tier I risk-based capital ratio
exceeded  6%,  its  leverage  ratio  exceeded  5%,  and it was not  subject to a
regulatory order, agreement or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital
level for any capital measure.

         The FDIC may order savings associations which have insufficient capital
to take  corrective  actions.  For  example,  a  savings  association  which  is
categorized as  "undercapitalized"  would be subject to growth  limitations  and
would be required to submit a capital  restoration  plan, and a holding  company
that controls such a savings association would be required to guarantee that the
savings   association   complies  with  the  restoration  plan.   "Significantly
undercapitalized"   savings   associations   would  be  subject  to   additional
restrictions.  Savings  associations  deemed  by  the  FDIC  to  be  "critically
undercapitalized"  would  be  subject  to  the  appointment  of  a  receiver  or
conservator.

Dividend Limitations

         The OTS adopted a regulation,  which became effective on April 1, 1999,
that revised the restrictions  that apply to "capital  distributions" by savings
associations.  The  amended  regulation  defines  a  capital  distribution  as a
distribution of cash or other property to a savings  association's  owners, made
on account of their ownership.  This definition includes a savings association's
payment  of  cash  dividends  to  shareholders,  or  any  payment  by a  savings
association  to  repurchase,  redeem,  retire,  or otherwise  acquire any of its
shares or debt instruments that are included in total capital, and any extension
of credit to finance an  affiliate's  acquisition  of those shares or interests.
The amended regulation does not apply to dividends  consisting only of a savings
association's shares or rights to purchase such shares.

         The amended  regulation  exempts certain savings  associations from the
requirement  under  the  prior  version  of  the  regulation  that  all  savings
associations  file either a notice or an application  with the OTS before making
any  capital  distribution.  As  revised,  the  regulation  requires  a  savings
association  to  file  an  application  for  approval  of  a  proposed   capital
distribution  with the OTS if the  association  is not  eligible  for  expedited
treatment under OTS's  application  processing rules, or the total amount of all
capital  distributions,  including the proposed  capital  distribution,  for the
applicable   calendar   year  would  exceed  an  amount  equal  to  the  savings
association's  net income for that year to date plus the  savings  association's
retained  net  income for the  preceding  two years  (the  "retained  net income
standard"). At June 30, 2000, the Association's retained net income standard was
approximately  $79,000. A savings  association must also file an application for
approval  of  a  proposed  capital   distribution  if,  following  the  proposed
distribution, the association would not be at least adequately capitalized under
the OTS prompt corrective action  regulations,  or if the proposed  distribution
would violate a prohibition contained in any applicable statute,  regulation, or
agreement between the association and the OTS or the FDIC.

         The amended regulation  requires a savings association to file a notice
of a proposed capital  distribution in lieu of an application if the association
or the proposed capital distribution do not meet the conditions described above,
and:  (1) the  savings  association  will not be at least well  capitalized  (as
defined  under the OTS  prompt  corrective  action  regulations)  following  the
capital  distribution;  (2) the capital distribution would reduce the amount of,
or retire any part of the savings  association's  common or preferred  stock, or
retire any part of debt instruments such as notes or debentures  included in the
association's  capital  under the OTS  capital  regulation;  or (3) the  savings
association is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding  company.  Because the
Association is a subsidiary of savings and loan holding  companies,  this latter
provision  requires,  at a minimum,  that the Association file a notice with the
OTS 30 days before  making any  capital  distributions  to the their  respective
holding companies.

         In addition to these regulatory restrictions, the Association's Plan of
Conversion imposes additional limitations on the amount of capital distributions
it may make to the Company.  The Plan of Conversion  requires the Association to
establish and maintain a liquidation account for the benefit of Eligible Account
Holders and  Supplemental  Eligible Account Holders (as defined in the Plan) and
prohibits the  Association  from making capital  distributions  if its net worth
would be reduced below the amount required for the liquidation accounts.

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  the
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.  Management
does not believe that these regulations will have a materially adverse effect on
the Association's current operations.

Safety and Soundness Standards

         In  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.  During 1996, the federal banking  agencies added asset quality and
earning standards to the safety and soundness guidelines.

Real Estate Lending Standards

         OTS regulations require savings  associations to establish and maintain
written  internal  real estate  lending  policies.  Each  savings  association's
lending policies must be consistent with safe and sound banking practices and be
appropriate to the size of the savings  association  and the nature and scope of
its  operations.  The policies must  establish  loan  portfolio  diversification
standards;  establish prudent underwriting  standards,  including  loan-to-value
limits, that are clear and measurable;  establish loan administration procedures
for  the  savings   association's   real   estate   portfolio;   and   establish
documentation,  approval,  and reporting requirements to monitor compliance with
the  savings   association's   real  estate   lending   policies.   The  savings
association's written real estate lending policies must be reviewed and approved
by the savings association's Board of Directors at least annually. Further, each
association  is expected  to monitor  conditions  in its real  estate  market to
ensure that its lending  policies  continue to be appropriate for current market
conditions.

Loans to One Borrower

         Under OTS  regulations,  the  Association may not make a loan or extend
credit  to a single  or  related  group of  borrowers  in  excess  of 15% of its
unimpaired capital and surplus. Additional amounts may be lent, not in excess of
10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if such loans or extensions of credit are
fully  secured by readily  marketable  collateral,  including  certain  debt and
equity  securities  but not  including  real  estate.  In some cases,  a savings
association may lend up to 30% of unimpaired capital and surplus to one borrower
for purposes of  developing  domestic  residential  housing,  provided  that the
association meets its regulatory capital requirements and the OTS authorizes the
association  to use this  expanded  lending  authority.  At June 30,  2000,  the
Association's  lending  limit  under this  restrictions  was $2.3  million.  The
Association  did not have any  loans or  extensions  of  credit  to a single  or
related group of borrowers in excess of its lending limits.  Management does not
believe that the loans-to-one-borrower  limits will have a significant impact on
the Company's  business  operations or earnings  following the effective time or
the merger.

Qualified Thrift Lender

         Savings associations must meet a QTL Test that requires the association
to  maintain an  appropriate  level of  qualified  thrift  investments  ("QTIs")
(primarily  residential  mortgages and related  investments,  including  certain
mortgage-related  securities)  and  otherwise  to qualify as a QTL. The required
percentage  of QTIs is 65% of  portfolio  assets  (defined  as all assets  minus
intangible  assets,  property used by the association in conducting its business
and liquid assets equal to 10% of total assets). Certain assets are subject to a
percentage  limitation  of  20%  of  portfolio  assets.  In  addition,   savings
associations may include shares of stock of the FHLBs,  FNMA, and FHLMC as QTIs.
Compliance  with the QTL test is  determined  on a monthly  basis in nine out of
every twelve months. As of June 30, 2000, the Association was in compliance with
its QTL requirement, with approximately 87.32% of its assets invested in QTIs.

         A savings  association  which  fails to meet the QTL test  must  either
convert to a bank (but its deposit  insurance  assessments  and payments will be
those of and paid to the SAIF) or be subject to the following penalties:  (i) it
may not enter into any new activity except for those  permissible for a national
bank and for a  savings  association;  (ii) its  branching  activities  shall be
limited  to those of a  national  bank;  (iii) it shall be bound by  regulations
applicable to national banks respecting payment of dividends.  Three years after
failing the QTL test the association  must dispose of any investment or activity
not permissible for a national bank and a savings association. If such a savings
association  is  controlled  by a savings and loan  holding  company,  then such
holding company must,  within a prescribed time period,  become  registered as a
bank holding company and become subject to all rules and regulations  applicable
to bank holding companies (including restrictions as to the scope of permissible
business activities).

Acquisitions or Dispositions and Branching

         The Bank  Holding  Company Act  specifically  authorizes a bank holding
company, upon receipt of appropriate regulatory approvals, to acquire control of
any savings association or holding company thereof wherever located.  Similarly,
a savings and loan  holding  company may  acquire  control of a bank.  Moreover,
federal  savings  associations  may  acquire  or  be  acquired  by  any  insured
depository  institution.   Regulations  promulgated  by  the  FRB  restrict  the
branching authority of savings associations  acquired by bank holding companies.
Savings  associations  acquired by bank  holding  companies  may be converted to
banks if they continue to pay SAIF premiums,  but as such they become subject to
branching and activity restrictions applicable to banks.

         Subject to certain  exceptions,  commonly-controlled  banks and savings
associations  must reimburse the FDIC for any losses suffered in connection with
a failed  bank or  savings  association  affiliate.  Institutions  are  commonly
controlled  if one is owned by another or if both are owned by the same  holding
company.  Such claims by the FDIC under this provision are subordinate to claims
of depositors,  secured creditors,  and holders of subordinated debt, other than
affiliates.

         The OTS has adopted  regulations which permit  nationwide  branching to
the extent permitted by federal statute. Federal statutes permit federal savings
associations to branch outside of their home state if the association  meets the
domestic  building  and loan  test in ss.  7701(a)(19)  of the Code or the asset
composition test of ss. 7701(c) of the Code.  Branching that would result in the
formation of a multiple  savings and loan holding  company  controlling  savings
associations  in more  than one  state is  permitted  if the law of the state in
which the savings association to be acquired is located specifically  authorizes
acquisitions of its state-chartered associations by state-chartered associations
or their  holding  companies  in the state where the  acquiring  association  or
holding company is located. Moreover, Indiana banks and savings associations are
permitted  to  acquire  other  Indiana  banks and  savings  associations  and to
establish branches throughout Indiana.

         Finally,  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  and  subject  to  certain
limitations, allows banks to acquire out-of-state branches either through merger
or de novo  expansion.  The State of Indiana  enacted  legislation  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, which became effective in 1996,  authorizes Indiana banks
to  branch  interstate  by  merger  or de novo  expansion,  provided  that  such
transactions  are not permitted to  out-of-state  banks unless the laws of their
home  states  permit  Indiana  banks to merge or  establish  de novo  banks on a
reciprocal basis.

Transactions with Affiliates

         The  Association  is  subject  to  Sections  22(h),  23A and 23B of the
Federal  Reserve Act, which restrict  financial  transactions  between banks and
their directors, executive officers and affiliated companies. The statute limits
credit  transactions  between a bank or savings  association  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 Company have been registered with the
SEC  under  the 1934  Act and,  as a  result,  the  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 three
years following the  Association's  conversion to stock form, if the 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
Company may not be resold without  registration  unless sold in accordance  with
the resale restrictions of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act. If the Company meets the
current public  information  requirements  under Rule 144, each affiliate of the
Company who complies with the other conditions of Rule 144 (including those 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 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,  needs to
improve,  and  substantial  noncompliance  --  and a  written  evaluation  of an
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 OTS has designated the  Association's  record of meeting  community
credit needs as satisfactory.

                                    TAXATION

Federal Taxation

         Historically,  savings associations, such as the Association, 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,  no savings  association  may use the  percentage  of taxable
income method of computing  its  allowable bad debt  deduction for tax purposes.
Instead,  all  savings  associations  are  required to compute  their  allowable
deduction using experience  method.  As a result fo the repeal of the percentage
of taxable  income  method,  reserves  taken after 1987 using the  percentage of
taxable  income method must be included in future taxable income over a six-year
period,  although a two-year delay may be permitted for  associations  meeting a
residential  mortgage loan origination test. In addition,  the pre-1988 reserve,
for which no deferred  taxes have been recorded,  need not be recaptured  unless
(i) the savings  association  no longer  qualifies as a bank under the Code,  or
(ii) the savings association pays out excess dividends or distributions.

         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 on 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  deducted  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.

         The Company and its subsidiaries file  consolidated  federal income tax
returns on a fiscal  year basis  using the  accrual  method of  accounting.  The
federal income tax returns of the Company have not been audited in recent years.
In the opinion of  management,  any  examination of still open returns would not
result  in a  deficiency  which  could  have a  material  adverse  effect on the
financial condition of the Company.

State Taxation

         The Company 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.  Other  applicable  state taxes
include generally applicable sales and use taxes plus real and personal property
taxes.  The  Company's  state income tax returns have not been audited in recent
years.

         The  Association  conducts its business and offers  services  from five
offices consisting of its main office in Crawfordsville,  its Mill Street office
in  Crawfordsville,  its  Covington  office,  its  Williamsport  office  and its
Lafayette  office.  The  main  office  has  approximately  16,000  square  feet,
including a basement, all of which is used for business and operations. The Mill
Street office, the Association's first office to offer drive-up  facilities,  is
located in a low to intermediate  income area and contains  approximately  3,200
square  feet,  all of  which  is  used  for  deposit  and  loan  functions.  The
Williamsport  office has 2,300  square  feet of office  space and an  additional
1,800 square feet of storage  space on a second  floor and also offers  drive-up
facilities.  The Covington  office contains  approximately  1,600 square feet in
addition to the  approximately  1,200 square feet that was recently added to the
Covington office to facilitate the addition of a drive-up and additional  office
space due to office  growth.  The Lafayette  office,  opened in April 1999,  has
approximately  3,700 square feet. This office,  located  approximately  23 miles
from the main  office,  offers  residents  and  businesses  located in southwest
Tippecanoe county a full service office including ATM, drive-up,  lock boxes and
all deposit and loan products offered by the Association.

         The  Company  also owns two  buildings  adjacent to its main office for
future expansion,  both of which are leased to unaffiliated businesses.  The net
book  value of the  buildings,  furniture,  fixtures  and  various  bookkeeping,
