FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF
THE MERGER . . . . . . The Merger will constitute a
tax-free reorganization to
Robinson, AMBANC, and FRB
Corp. Shareholders of
Robinson will recognize no
gain or loss upon the
exchange of shares of
Robinson for shares of AMBANC
Common Stock. Shareholders
of Robinson who receive cash
in exchange for shares of
Robinson Common Stock either
in lieu of a fractional
shares or because they have
perfected dissenters' rights
under the Illinois Business
Corporation Act will
recognize gain or loss upon
the receipt of cash for their
shares. Cash received by
shareholders receiving cash
in lieu of fractional share
interests and cash received
by shareholders perfecting
dissenters' rights will be
treated as a distribution in
full payment of such
fractional share interests,
or shares surrendered in
exercise of dissenters'
rights, resulting in capital
gain or loss or ordinary
income or loss, as the case
may be, depending upon each
shareholder's particular
situation. Shareholders
should read the discussion
under "THE MERGER -- Federal
Income Tax Consequences" and
are urged to consult their
own tax advisors.

SUMMARY SELECTED
FINANCIAL
INFORMATION. . . . . . The following tables set
forth (a) summary pro forma
financial information for
Robinson and AMBANC combined
as of and for the years ended
December 31, 1994, 1993 and
1992, and for the quarter
ended March 31, 1995,
(b) historical pro forma and
equivalent pro forma net
income, cash dividends and
book value of Robinson and
AMBANC on a per share basis
as of such dates and for such
periods, and (c) information
on the market value of AMBANC
Common Stock and Robinson
Common Stock as of
October 11, 1995, the date
preceding public announcement
of the proposed acquisition.
This information is derived
from and should be read in
conjunction with the
historical financial
statements of AMBANC and
Robinson that appear
elsewhere in this Prospectus
and with the pro forma
consolidated condensed
financial statements of
AMBANC, which give effect to
the Merger and which appear
in this Prospectus under the
caption "PRO FORMA FINANCIAL
INFORMATION." The pro forma
consolidated condensed
financial information has
been prepared based on the
"pooling of interest" method
of accounting and on the
assumptions that 636,504
shares of AMBANC Common Stock
will be issued and that no
Robinson shareholder will
exercise dissenters' rights.
The historical financial
information of AMBANC and
Robinson has been combined
for each period presented.
The equivalent pro forma per<PAGE>
<PAGE>28
share information for
Robinson has been determined
by multiplying the AMBANC pro
forma per share information
by an assumed exchange ratio
of 5.3398. Shareholders will
be resolicited with pro forma
data prepared assuming the
purchase method of accounting
in the event that the
proposed Merger of AMBANC and
Robinson does not qualify
under the pooling-of-interest
method of accounting and this
condition to the Merger is
waived.

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE SPECIAL MEETING
GENERAL
Each copy of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement
mailed to a Robinson Shareholder is accompanied by a
proxy, which is solicited by the Board of Directors of
Robinson for use at the Special Meeting that will be
held at the principal office of First National, 300
West Main Street, Robinson, Illinois, at .m.,
Robinson time, on , , 1995, and at any
adjournment or adjournments thereof. Shareholders of
Robinson who are the owners of Robinson Common Stock of
record at the close of business on , 1995, will
be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. On such
date, there were 119,200 shares of Robinson Common
Stock outstanding and entitled to vote, with each such
share entitled to one vote.
VOTES REQUIRED
The presence at the Special Meeting, in person or
by proxy, of the holders of a two-thirds of the
outstanding shares of Robinson Common Stock will
constitute a quorum. Each share of Robinson Common
Stock is entitled to one vote on any matter to come
before the Special Meeting.
The affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds
of the outstanding shares of Robinson Common Stock
entitled to vote at the Special Meeting (at least
79,467 of the 119,200 shares of Robinson Common Stock
outstanding) is required for approval and adoption of
the Acquisition Agreements. Because two-thirds of all
outstanding shares and not simply two-thirds of those
shares voting is required to approve the Acquisition
Agreements, any abstentions will have the same effect
as a vote against approval of the Acquisition
Agreements. All of the members of the Board of
Directors of Robinson have agreed to vote all shares
beneficially owned by them in favor of approval and
adoption of the Acquisition Agreements at the Special
Meeting. At July 1, 1995, the Directors and executive
officers of Robinson beneficially owned an aggregate of
62,881 shares of Robinson Common Stock, or 52.8 percent
of the outstanding shares thereof. Accordingly, the
vote of an additional 16,586 shares would be required
to approve the Merger.
The affirmative vote of AMBANC, the sole
shareholder of FRB Corp., is also required for adoption
of the Acquisition Agreements. AMBANC has agreed to
vote all shares it holds of FRB Corp. in favor of the<PAGE>
<PAGE>33
Merger. No vote of the shareholders of AMBANC is
required to approve the Acquisition Agreements.
PROXIES
If the enclosed proxy is executed and returned, it
may nevertheless be revoked at any time insofar as it
has not been exercised. The proxy may be revoked by
(a) giving written notice of revocation to Robinson at
(300 West Main Street, Robinson, Illinois 62454), (b)
executing a subsequently dated proxy, or (c) attending
the Special Meeting and voting in person. Unless
revoked, the proxy will be voted at the meeting in
accordance with the instructions of the shareholder as
indicated on the proxy. If no instructions are given,
the shares will be voted FOR the Merger and, on other
matters that come before the meeting, as recommended by
the Directors.
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
In addition to the use of the mails, Directors,
officers, and certain employees of Robinson and First
National may, without additional compensation therefor,
solicit proxies in person or by telephone. Robinson
and AMBANC will bear the cost of soliciting proxies
from shareholders of Robinson and the expense of
preparing and printing this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.
See "THE MERGER--The Acquisition Agreements--Terms of
the Merger--Expenses." Brokers and other custodians,
nominees, and fiduciaries are requested to forward
proxies and proxy soliciting materials to the
beneficial owners of shares held of record by such
persons and will be reimbursed for their reasonable
expenses in so doing.
THE MERGER
BACKGROUND AND REASONS FOR THE MERGER
For the past several years, AMBANC has carefully
been seeking out various acquisition alternatives as a
means of expanding its customer base and enhancing
shareholder value. This strategic plan led to the
acquisition of Citizens' National Bank of Linton in
August 1990; the merger of Patoka National Bank into
The American National Bank of Vincennes ("American
National") in January 1992; the acquisition of Farmers'
in June 1993; the acquisition of Bank of Casey in June
1994; and the acquisition by American National of a
thrift branch in Princeton, Indiana in March 1995.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>34
Robert G. Watson, Chairman of the Board and
President of AMBANC, initiated informal discussions
with key management officials of Robinson in December
1993. After business investigations by AMBANC and
Robinson of each other, and Board approval of the
transaction, AMBANC and Robinson executed an Agreement
and Plan of Merger on October 12, 1994. Subsequently,
AMBANC's management decided that it could best serve
Crawford County, Illinois, in which both Farmers' and
First National have their main offices, by combining
the two banks into a single bank. Therefore, on
June 19, 1995, AMBANC and Robinson, together with
certain of their subsidiaries, entered into the
Acquisition Agreements, which provide for the merger of
Farmers' into First National, with First National
surviving the merger, immediately prior to the merger
of Robinson into FRB Corp.
The terms of the Merger, including the Exchange
Ratio, were the result of arms'-length negotiations
between Robinson and AMBANC and their respective
representatives. In the course of reaching its
decision to approve the Merger, the Board of Directors
of Robinson consulted with its legal and financial
advisers, as well as with management of Robinson and,
without assigning any relative or specific weights,
considered numerous factors, including, but not limited
to, the following:
(1) The Merger would result in a tax deferred
gain to Robinson's shareholders;
(2) The Acquisition Agreements contain a "walk-
away" right that would permit Robinson to
terminate the Merger if the AMBANC stock
price declined below $29.00;
<PAGE>
<PAGE>35
(3) A business combination with a larger bank
holding company such as AMBANC would provide
both greater short-term and long-term value
to Robinson's shareholders than other
alternatives available and would enhance
Robinson's competitiveness and its ability to
serve its depositors, customers and the
communities in which it operates;
(4) The economic conditions and prospects for the
market in which Robinson operates, and
competitive pressures in the financial
services industry in general and the banking
industry in particular;
(5) The Merger offered Robinson's shareholders
the prospect for higher dividends, a higher
current trading value for their shares,
greater liquidity for their shares and better
prospects for future growth than if Robinson
were to remain independent;
(6) The bank regulatory environment in general;
(7) The business, results of operations, asset
quality and financial condition of AMBANC,
the future growth prospects of AMBANC and
Robinson following the Merger and the
potential synergies and cost savings expected
to be realized from the Merger; and
(8) The presentation of Robinson's financial
advisor, Kemper Securities, and the opinion
rendered by Kemper Securities to the effect
that the Exchange Ratio was fair, from a
financial point of view, to the holders of
Robinson's Common Stock. See "THE MERGER --
Opinion of Financial Advisor to Robinson."
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ROBINSON HAS UNANIMOUSLY
APPROVED THE ACQUISITION AGREEMENTS AND UNANIMOUSLY
RECOMMENDS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF ROBINSON THAT THEY
VOTE TO APPROVE SUCH PROPOSALS.
Pursuant to the Agreement of Merger, when the
Merger becomes effective two officers and/or directors
of Robinson will be added to the AMBANC Board of
Directors and one officer and/or director of AMBANC
will be added to the First National Board of Directors.
The persons who will be added to the First National and<PAGE>
<PAGE>36
AMBANC Board of Directors will be selected by the
mutual agreement of the respective Boards of Directors.
THE ACQUISITION AGREEMENTS
The following summary of the terms of the
Acquisition Agreements does not purport to be complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Acquisition Agreements, which are incorporated herein
by reference and attached as Appendix A to this
Prospectus.
If approved by the shareholders of Robinson, and
if all other conditions to the consummation of the
Merger specified by the Acquisition Agreements are
satisfied or waived, and unless the Acquisition
Agreements are terminated as provided therein, the
Merger will be consummated and become effective upon
the later of the time of the filing of the Merger
Agreement with the Office of the Illinois Secretary of
State or the Indiana Secretary of State (the "Effective
Time"). Although no assurances can be given, it is
anticipated that the Effective Time will occur on or
before October 31, 1995. Immediately prior to the
Merger, Farmers' will be merged into First National.
The resulting bank will continue operation under the
name "The First National Bank in Robinson."
EFFECT OF THE MERGER
At the Effective Time of the Merger, the separate
corporate existence of Robinson will cease and Robinson
will be merged into and become a part of FRB Corp.,
which will survive the Merger. Immediately subsequent
to the effectiveness of the Merger, FRB Corp. will be
merged into AMBANC, with AMBANC surviving the merger.
The affairs of the surviving corporation will be
governed by the Articles and Bylaws of AMBANC.
Following the Merger, shareholders of Robinson who
do not perfect their dissenters' rights under Section
11.70 of the Illinois Business Corporation Act (see
"THE MERGER--Rights of Dissenting Shareholders") will,
upon surrender of the certificates for their shares of
Robinson Common Stock or other evidence of ownership of
such shares acceptable to AMBANC, receive the Merger
Consideration as further discussed below.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>37
TERMS OF THE MERGER
CONVERSION OF ROBINSON COMMON STOCK
Pursuant to the Merger, AMBANC will acquire all
119,200 issued and outstanding shares of Robinson
Common Stock with each share of Robinson Common Stock
being converted into the right to receive 5.3398 shares
of AMBANC Common Stock (at times herein the shares of
AMBANC Common Stock to be received in exchange for the
shares of Robinson Common Stock will be referred to as
the "Merger Consideration").
The Acquisition Agreements may be terminated by
Robinson if the weighted average of the prices of all
actual trades of AMBANC Common Stock, as reported on
the NASDAQ Small Cap Market System for the twenty (20)
trading days on which actual trades were made as of and
including the fifth (5th) trading day prior to the
Closing Date, is less than $29.00 per share and the
Acquisition Agreements may be terminated by AMBANC if
such weighted average of the prices is greater than
$35.00 per share (unless such price has increased to a
price greater than $35.00 per share as the result of
the public announcement of an unrelated third party's
intention to acquire AMBANC.
No fractional shares of AMBANC Common Stock will
be issued and, in lieu thereof, holders of shares of
Robinson Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled
to a fractional share interest (after taking into
account all shares of Robinson Common Stock held by
such holder) shall be paid an amount in cash equal to
the product of such fractional share interest
multiplied by $32.00.
Any Robinson shareholders who perfect their
dissenters' rights under the Illinois Business
Corporation Act would receive cash for their shares of
Robinson Common Stock rather than shares of AMBANC's
Common Stock.
SURRENDER OF CERTIFICATES
As soon as reasonably practicable after the
Effective Time, AMBANC or its designated exchange agent
(the "Exchange Agent") shall mail to each record holder
of Robinson Common Stock a letter of transmittal (each
such letter, the "Merger Letter of Transmittal") and
instructions for use in effecting the surrender of each
Robinson stock certificate (the "Certificate") in
exchange for the Merger Consideration. As soon as
reasonably practicable after surrender to the Exchange
Agent of a Certificate, together with a Merger Letter<PAGE>
<PAGE>38
of Transmittal duly executed and any other required
documents, the Exchange Agent shall transmit to the
holder of such Certificate the Merger Consideration.
No dividends that are otherwise payable on shares
of AMBANC Common Stock constituting the Merger
Consideration shall be paid to persons entitled to
receive such shares of AMBANC Common Stock until such
persons surrender their Certificates. Upon such
surrender, there shall be paid to the person in whose
name the shares of AMBANC Common Stock shall be issued
any dividends which shall have become payable with
respect to such shares of AMBANC Common Stock (without
interest and less the amount of taxes, if any, which
may have been imposed thereon) between the Effective
Time and the time of such surrender.
If the Merger Consideration is to be issued to a
person other than a person in whose name a surrendered
Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of
issuance that the surrendered Certificate shall be
properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for
transfer and that the person requesting such issuance
shall pay to the Exchange Agent any required transfer
or other taxes or establish to the satisfaction of the
Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not
applicable. AMBANC reserves the right in all cases
involving more than twenty-five shares of Robinson
Common Stock to require that a surety bond on terms and
in an amount satisfactory to AMBANC be provided to
AMBANC at the expense of the Robinson Shareholder in
the event that such shareholder claims loss of a
Certificate for Robinson Common Stock and requests that
AMBANC waive the requirement for surrender of such
Certificate.
RIGHTS DETERMINED AT EFFECTIVE TIME
Robinson will provide to AMBANC a certified list
of the Robinson shareholders from Robinson's stock
records at the Effective Time. Persons who are not
identified as registered holders of Robinson Common
Stock on the records of Robinson as of the Effective
Time but who have acquired beneficial interests in such
shares of Common Stock and desire to register the
transfer of those rights after the Effective Time will
not be entitled to do so on the books of Robinson.
Instead, such persons must present to AMBANC
appropriate instruments of transfer signed by the
registered holder of such shares as of the Effective
Time satisfactory to AMBANC to obtain registration in
their name of the Merger Consideration issuable by
AMBANC.<PAGE>
<PAGE>39
MAINTENANCE OF FIRST NATIONAL AS A SEPARATE ENTITY
As provided in the Agreement of Merger, it is
AMBANC's intention that subsequent to the Effective
Time of the Merger that the directors and officers of
First National in office at the Effective Time,
together with certain directors of Farmers', will
continue to manage and operate First National as a
separate banking entity, with such assistance, advise
and support from AMBANC and its other banking
affiliates as shall be appropriate. At the Effective
Time, one officer and/or director of AMBANC will be
added to the Board of Directors of First National, and
two officers and/or directors of Robinson will be added
to the Board of Directors of AMBANC. AMBANC has agreed
that for a period of three years after the Effective
Time, First National will retain the name "The First
National Bank in Robinson" as the name pursuant to
which it does business; provided, however, that a
majority of the directors of First National who served
as directors of First National immediately prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger will have the authority to
reduce this three-year period at any time after the
Effective Time at their discretion.
FIRST NATIONAL EMPLOYEES
The Agreement of Merger provides that it is
AMBANC's intention that the employees of First National
will continue to be employees of First National with no
change in employment solely as a result of the Merger,
but such intention to retain employees should not be
interpreted as creating any contractual or other rights
of continued employment with First National, AMBANC, or
any of AMBANC's subsidiaries. Pursuant to the
Agreement of Merger, subsequent to the Effective Time
of the Merger, active employees of First National will
participate in AMBANC employee benefit plans and
receive employee benefits, including pension benefits,
health insurance, long-term disability coverage and
life insurance coverage, that are no less favorable
than those generally available to employees of AMBANC
and its subsidiaries.
EXPENSES
All costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition
Agreements will be paid by the party incurring the
expenses. However, if the Agreement of Merger is
terminated because one party has knowingly materially
breached any of that party's representations and
warranties made in the Agreement of Merger and the<PAGE>
<PAGE>40
breach is not cured within thirty (30) days of a
written notice to cure the breach, then the non-
breaching party may recover appropriate damages from
the breaching party.
CONDITIONS
Consummation of the Merger is subject to the
satisfaction, at or prior to the Closing, of each of
the following conditions precedent:
(a) The Merger shall have been approved by the
holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of
Robinson and by AMBANC as the sole shareholder of
FRB Corp.;
(b) All required regulatory approvals shall have
been obtained;
(c) As of the Effective Time, the shareholders'
equity of Robinson shall not be less than
$9,699,185 (as calculated pursuant to Section
6.01(i) of the Agreement of Merger);
(d) Robinson shall have received from Kemper
Securities, Inc. an opinion that the terms of the
Merger are fair to Robinson's shareholders from a
financial point of view (the opinion is attached
as Appendix C to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement),
which opinion shall not have been amended or
withdrawn prior to the Effective Time;
(e) AMBANC shall have received a letter, dated as
of the Effective Time, from its independent public
accountants to the effect that the Merger
qualifies for "pooling of interests" accounting
treatment; and
(f) Other customary conditions and obligations of
the parties set forth in the Acquisition
Agreements shall have been satisfied.
Prior to the Effective Time, the conditions to the
consummation of the Agreement of Merger may be waived
in writing by the party entitled to the benefits
thereof.
TERMINATION OF ACQUISITION AGREEMENTS
The Acquisition Agreements may be terminated as
follows:
<PAGE>
<PAGE>41
(a) By Robinson or AMBANC, if the other party
fails to comply with the conditions set forth in
the Acquisition Agreements;
(b) By Robinson or AMBANC, if the Merger is not
consummated by November 30, 1995;
(c) By mutual agreement of AMBANC and Robinson;
(d) By AMBANC or Robinson in the event of a
material breach by the other party of any of its
representations and warranties or agreements under
the Acquisition Agreements and such breach is not
cured within thirty (30) days after notice to cure
such breach is given by non-breaching party; and
(e) By AMBANC or Robinson, if the Merger Agreement
and consummation of the Merger are not approved by
the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a
two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Robinson
Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special
Meeting.
The Acquisition Agreements also provide that
AMBANC may terminate the Acquisition Agreements if the
environmental inspection reports on all real property
owned or leased by Robinson provided to AMBANC by
Robinson pursuant to the Agreement of Merger disclose
any contamination or presence of hazardous wastes, the
estimated remedial and corrective costs of which exceed
$100,000, as reasonably estimated by an environmental
expert retained for such purpose by AMBANC and
reasonably acceptable to Robinson, or if the cost of
such actions and measures cannot be so reasonably
estimated by such expert with any reasonable degree of
certainty; provided, however, that AMBANC must exercise
such termination right within five (5) business days
following receipt of such estimate or indication that
the cost of such actions and measures cannot be so
reasonably estimated. The environmental inspection
reports furnished by Robinson to AMBANC pursuant to the
provisions of the Acquisition Agreements have not
indicated any basis for terminating the Acquisition
Agreements pursuant to the environmental termination
provision.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>42
In addition, if any regulatory application filed in
connection with the Merger is finally denied or
disapproved by the respective regulatory authority,
then the Acquisition Agreements shall be deemed
terminated and cancelled.
Also, as discussed above, subject to certain
conditions, Robinson may terminate the Acquisition
Agreements if the average trading price of AMBANC
Common Stock falls below $ 29.00 per share and AMBANC
may terminate the Acquisition Agreements if the average
trading price of AMBANC Common Stock increases above
$35.00 per share. See the discussion in "THE MERGER --
THE ACQUISITION AGREEMENTS."
Upon termination, each party to the Acquisition
Agreements will bear its own costs and expenses related
to the Merger, with the exception that a breaching
party must pay the reasonable expenses of the
non-breaching party should the Acquisition Agreements
be terminated by either party for any reason other than
those stated.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
The Merger is expected to qualify as a "pooling"
for accounting and financial reporting purposes. It is
a condition of the Merger that AMBANC shall have
received a letter from its independent accountants to
the effect that the Merger will qualify as a pooling of
interests transaction under generally accepted
accounting principles. In order for the Merger to
qualify for "pooling of interests" accounting
treatment, generally accepted accounting principles
require that not more than 10 percent of Robinson's
shares of Common Stock (or 11,920 shares based of
119,200 shares of Robinson Common Stock presently
outstanding) may exercise dissenters' rights and demand
payment in cash for the value of their shares of Common
Shares under Section 11.70 of the Illinois Business
Corporation Act.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The Merger will qualify as a reorganization under
Section 368(a) of the Code. Except for cash received
by any shareholders who perfect their dissenters'
rights and cash received by shareholders in lieu of a
fractional share interest in AMBANC Common Stock, the
holders of shares of Robinson Common Stock will
recognize no gain or loss on the receipt of AMBANC
Common Stock in the Merger, their aggregate basis in
the shares of AMBANC Common Stock received in the<PAGE>
<PAGE>43
Merger will be the same as their aggregate basis in
their shares of Robinson Common Stock converted in the
Merger, and, provided the shares surrendered are held
as a capital asset, the holding period of the AMBANC
Common Stock received by them will include the holding
period of their shares of Robinson Common Stock
converted in the Merger. Cash received by shareholders
receiving cash in lieu of fractional share interests
and cash received by shareholders exercising their
dissenters' rights will be treated as a distribution in
full payment of such fractional share interests, or
shares surrendered in exercise of dissenters' rights,
resulting in capital gain or loss or ordinary income or
loss, as the case may be, depending upon each
shareholder's particular situation.
Leagre & Barnes, counsel for AMBANC, has delivered
an opinion to AMBANC upon which AMBANC has relied in
preparing the above summary of the federal income tax
consequences of the Merger. The opinion and a
Representation Certificate of AMBANC and Robinson upon
which Leagre & Barnes has relied as to certain factual
matters in rendering its opinion are filed as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement. The Merger also
is conditioned upon Robinson's receipt of an opinion to
the same effect from Hinshaw & Culbertson. The Merger
is conditioned upon receipt of opinions dated as of the
Effective Time, confirming as of the Effective Time the
opinions expressed in the opinion set forth above.
THE FOREGOING IS ONLY A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE
MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER
AND DOES NOT CONSIDER THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF
ANY PARTICULAR ROBINSON SHAREHOLDER'S SITUATION. EACH
ROBINSON SHAREHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN TAX
ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC LEGAL AND TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO HIM OR HER, INCLUDING THE
APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN, AND
OTHER TAX LAWS.
REGISTRATION STATEMENT
AMBANC has filed a Registration Statement on Form
S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission
registering under the 1933 Act the shares of AMBANC
Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger.
AMBANC intends to rely upon exemptions from the
statutory registration requirements of the several
states in which shareholders of Robinson reside and has
not taken any steps to register the AMBANC Common Stock
under those statutes.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>44
TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
The AMBANC Common Stock received by Robinson
shareholders in the Merger will be freely transferable,
except that "affiliates" of Robinson as of the date of
the Special Meeting, as that term is defined in the
rules and regulations under the Securities Act, may
sell any AMBANC Common Stock held by them during the
three year period following the Merger (two years
provided AMBANC remains current in its reporting
obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
only (a) in accordance with the provisions of Rule
145(d) under the Securities Act, (b) pursuant to an
effective Registration Statement under the Securities
Act, or (c) in transactions otherwise exempt from
registration thereunder. In addition, Robinson
shareholders who may become "affiliates" of AMBANC will
be subject to similar sale restrictions for so long as
they remain affiliates of AMBANC and also will be
subject to prohibitions on sales until financial
results covering at least 30 days of post-Merger
combined operations have been published. Generally,
persons who are not officers, Directors, or greater
than ten percent shareholders of Robinson will not be
considered "affiliates" in the absence of other factors
indicating a control relationship.
MANAGEMENT OF AMBANC AFTER THE MERGER
The Agreement of Merger provides that when the
Merger becomes effective two officers and/or directors
of Robinson will be appointed to the AMBANC Board of
Directors and one officer or Director of AMBANC will be
appointed to the First National Board of Directors.
Following the Effective Time, AMBANC and each of
its banking subsidiaries, including its new subsidiary
First National, will continue to be subject to
regulation and supervision by federal and state bank
regulatory authorities. See "INFORMATION ABOUT
AMBANC--Regulation and Supervision" and "INFORMATION
ABOUT ROBINSON--Regulation and Supervision." AMBANC
does not anticipate that consummation of the Merger
will have any effect on such regulation or supervision.
REGULATORY MATTERS
AMBANC has filed an application for approval of
the acquisition of Robinson pursuant to Section 3.071
of the Illinois Banking Holding Company Act. The
Application [has/has not yet] been approved. The
receipt of approval from the Illinois Commissioner of<PAGE>
<PAGE>45
Banks and Trust Companies is a condition precedent to
the consummation of the Merger.
RIGHTS OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS
Pursuant to Section 11.65 of the Illinois Business
Corporation Act, shareholders of Robinson have
dissenters' rights with respect to the Merger. The
procedures for perfecting dissenters' rights, which are
set forth in Section 11.70 of the Illinois Business
Corporation Act, provide that a shareholder who
perfects dissenters' rights with respect to his or her
shares of Robinson Common Stock may receive in cash the
fair value of his or her Robinson Common Stock,
exclusive of any element of value arising from the
accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, together,
if applicable, with a fair rate of interest. If a
dissenting shareholder does not agree with the amount
of the payment offered as the estimated fair value of
the shareholder's shares of Robinson Common Stock, the
Crawford County Circuit Court will determined the value
of the shares and any interest due. In order to
exercise dissenters' rights, a shareholder must comply
with the requirements set forth in Section 11.70.
Section 11.70 includes the requirements that a
shareholder demanding dissenters' rights do the
following:
(a) Deliver to Robinson prior to the
taking of the vote on the Merger a written
demand for payment of his or her shares of
Robinson Common Stock, and
(b) Not vote in favor of the Merger at
the Special Meeting.
A vote against approval of the Acquisition Agreements
will not satisfy the requirement of delivery of a
written demand for approval.
Within ten (10) days of the Effective Time of the
Merger or thirty (30) days after delivery of written<PAGE>
<PAGE>46
demand for payment, whichever is later, each
shareholder who has delivered a written demand for
payment and who has not voted in favor of the Merger as
required by Section 11.70 of the Illinois Business
Corporation Act of the date on which the Merger became
effective will receive a statement setting forth an
estimated fair value of such holder's shares of
Robinson Common Stock and the other information
required by Section 11.70.
See the full text of Section 11.70 set forth in
Appendix B to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.
TO PERFECT RIGHTS OF DISSENT, A SHAREHOLDER MUST
NOT VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE MERGER AND MUST DELIVER A
WRITTEN DEMAND FOR PAYMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 11.70 OF THE ILLINOIS BUSINESS
CORPORATION ACT.
THIS SUMMARY OF THE DISSENTERS' RIGHTS OF ROBINSON
SHAREHOLDERS DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE AND IS
QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE STATUTORY PROVISIONS
ATTACHED TO THIS PROSPECTUS AS APPENDIX B. ANY
INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERING EXERCISING RIGHTS OF DISSENT
SHOULD CAREFULLY READ AND CONSIDER THE INFORMATION
DISCLOSED IN APPENDIX B AND CONSULT WITH AN INDEPENDENT
INVESTMENT ADVISOR BEFORE EXERCISING RIGHTS OF DISSENT.
OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO ROBINSON
Kemper Securities, Inc. has provided the following
disclosures for inclusion in this Prospectus/Proxy
Statement:
Kemper Securities has delivered its written
opinion to Robinson's Board of Directors that, as of
the date of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the
Exchange Ratio in the Merger is fair, from a financial
point of view, to the holders of Robinson Common Stock.
See "THE MERGER - TERMS OF THE MERGER." Kemper
Securities' written opinion essentially confirms its
oral opinion provided to Robinson's Board of Directors
on October 11, 1994, prior to the execution of the
Agreement, and its written opinion dated as of the date
of the Agreement and its oral opinion on June 19, 1995,<PAGE>
<PAGE>47
prior to the execution of the amendment to the
Agreement.
THE FULL TEXT OF THE OPINION OF KEMPER SECURITIES
DATED AS OF THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS/PROXY
STATEMENT, WHICH SETS FORTH THE ASSUMPTIONS MADE,
MATTERS CONSIDERED, AND LIMITS ON THE REVIEW
UNDERTAKEN, IS ATTACHED AS APPENDIX C TO THIS
PROSPECTUS/PROXY STATEMENT. ROBINSON'S SHAREHOLDERS
ARE URGED TO READ KEMPER SECURITIES' OPINION IN ITS
ENTIRETY. KEMPER SECURITIES' OPINION IS DIRECTED TO
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ROBINSON ONLY AND IS DIRECTED
ONLY TO THE CONSIDERATION TO BE PAID BY AMBANC TO
HOLDERS OF ROBINSON COMMON STOCK AND DOES NOT
CONSTITUTE A RECOMMENDATION TO ANY ROBINSON SHAREHOLDER
AS TO HOW SUCH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD VOTE AT THE SPECIAL
MEETING. THE SUMMARY OF KEMPER SECURITIES' OPINION IS
QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE FULL TEXT
OF SUCH OPINION.
In connection with its opinion, Kemper Securities,
among other things: (i) reviewed AMBANC's and
Robinson's joint Prospectus/Proxy Statement dated July
[ ], 1995; (ii) reviewed the Agreement; (iii) reviewed
Robinson's financial statements and certain internal
management reports and certain publicly available
financial and other data with respect to Robinson and
AMBANC including financial statements for recent years
and interim periods to date and certain other relevant
financial and operating data relating to AMBANC made
available to it from published sources; (iv) discussed
Robinson's history, operations, service areas,
asset/liability structure and quality, financial
condition and performance, and prospects, among other
factors, with members of Robinson's management;
(v) compared Robinson and AMBANC from a financial point
of view with certain other companies in the financial
services industry which it deemed relevant; (vi)
reviewed the reported price and trading activity for
Robinson Shares and AMBANC common stock; (vii) reviewed
the financial terms of certain recent business
combinations in the commercial banking industry
specifically; (viii) discussed the Merger and the
Agreement with Robinson's counsel; and (ix) performed
such other studies and analyses as it considered
appropriate. Kemper Securities also took into account
general economic, market, and financial conditions as
well as our experience in other transactions, knowledge
of the commercial banking industry, and experience in
securities valuation.
Kemper Securities relied without independent
verification upon the accuracy and completeness of the<PAGE>
<PAGE>48
foregoing financial and other information reviewed by
it for purposes of its opinion. Kemper Securities also
assumed that there has been no material change in
Robinson's or AMBANC's assets, financial condition,
results of operations, business, or prospects since the
date of the last financial statements made available to
it for Robinson or AMBANC, respectively. In addition,
Kemper Securities did not make an independent
evaluation, appraisal, or physical inspection of the
assets or individual properties of Robinson or AMBANC,
nor was Kemper Securities furnished with such
appraisals. Further, Kemper Securities' opinion is
based on economic, monetary, and market conditions
existing as of the date of this Prospectus/Proxy
Statement. No limitations were imposed by Robinson
upon Kemper Securities on the scope of its
investigation nor were any specific instructions given
to Kemper Securities in connection with its fairness
opinion.
Kemper Securities was retained by Robinson on the
basis of the firm's reputation, experience, and
familiarity with the commercial banking industry and
with merger and acquisition transactions. As part of
its investment banking services, Kemper Securities is
regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and
their securities in connection with merger and
acquisition transactions, public offerings, private
placements, recapitalizations, and other purposes.
Pursuant to its agreement with Kemper Securities,
Robinson has thus far paid Kemper Securities for its
services $15,000 as follows: $5,000 upon signing of
its agreement with Kemper Securities and $10,000 upon
delivery of Kemper Securities' oral fairness opinion.
Upon circulation of this joint Prospectus/Proxy
Statement, Robinson will pay Kemper Securities an
additional $10,000 and its reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses.
For the purposes of its opinion, Kemper Securities
believes it is independent of Robinson and AMBANC.
Other than its service to Robinson in connection with
the fairness opinion, Kemper Securities has provided no
other professional services to either Robinson or
AMBANC.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA
AMBANC AND ROBINSON
Following are unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 1995, and
December 31, 1994, and unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated statements of income for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 and each of the years ended December 31,
1994, 1993 and 1992.
The historical financial information of AMBANC and
Robinson has been combined for each period presented.
The pro forma consolidated condensed financial data and
consolidated balance sheets and income statements have
been prepared based on the pooling of interest method
of accounting and the issuance of 636,504 shares of
AMBANC Common Stock and that no Robinson shareholder
will dissent. This information will vary if any
shareholders dissent. The equivalent pro forma per
share information for Robinson has been determined by
multiplying the AMBANC pro forma per share information
by the exchange ratio of 5.3398 shares of AMBANC for
each share of Robinson.
The pro forma information gives effect to the
proposed merger of AMBANC and Robinson under the
pooling-of-interest method of accounting, which is a
condition to the Merger. Shareholders will be
resolicited with pro forma data prepared assuming the
purchase method of accounting in the event that the
proposed Merger does not qualify under the pooling-of-
interest method of accounting and this condition to the
Merger is waived by AMBANC and Robinson.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
balance sheets are not necessarily indicative of the
combined financial position had the transaction been
effective at such dates. The unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated statements of income are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations
that would have occurred had the transaction been
effective at the beginning of the periods indicated, or
of the future results of operations of AMBANC. These
pro forma financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements
and the related notes presented elsewhere in this
Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

INFORMATION ABOUT ROBINSON
GENERAL
Robinson was organized as an Illinois corporation
in 1982 to serve as the holding company for First
National, which was organized as a national banking
association in 1932. The principal executive offices
of Robinson are located at 300 West Main Street,
Robinson, Illinois 62454. Robinson, through First
National, conducts its business from its principal
office and from three branch offices located in<PAGE>
<PAGE>57
Robinson and Flat Rock in Crawford County and Mt.
Carmel in Wabash County, Illinois.
Robinson, through First National, engages in a
wide range of commercial and personal banking
activities, including accepting demand deposits, time
deposits, and savings accounts, making secured and
unsecured loans to corporations, individuals, and
others, issuing letters of credit, and offering trust-
related and safekeeping services. First National's
lending services include commercial, real estate,
agricultural, and installment loans.
EMPLOYEES
Robinson does not have any employees. At July 1,
1995, First National employed 55 full-time and 15
part-time employees. First National is not a party to
any collective bargaining agreement, and employee
relations are considered to be good.
COMPETITION
The banking business is highly competitive. First
National's market area principally consists of
Crawford, Lawrence and Wabash Counties in Illinois.
First National also competes with other financial
institutions in the counties in Illinois and Indiana
contiguous to Crawford, Lawrence and Wabash Counties
and in other areas in obtaining deposits and providing
many types of financial services. At June 30, 1994,
the most recent date for which published data is
available, First National ranked first in deposit size
among the five commercial banks headquartered in
Crawford County. At that date, First National had
total deposits of approximately $168,720,000.
REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
Robinson is subject to the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956, as amended. As a bank holding company,
Robinson is required to file with the FRB annual
reports and such additional information as the FRB may
require. The FRB also may make examinations or
inspections of Robinson and First National. First
National is supervised and regulated by the Comptroller
of the Currency. Regulation and examination by banking
regulatory agencies are primarily for the benefit of
depositors rather than shareholders.
The earnings of commercial banks are affected not
only by general economic conditions but also by the
policies of various governmental regulatory<PAGE>
<PAGE>58
authorities. In particular, the FRB regulates money
and credit conditions and interest rates in order to
influence general economic conditions, primarily
through open-market operations in U.S. Government
securities, varying the discount rate on bank
borrowings, and setting reserve requirements against
bank deposits. These policies have a significant
influence on overall growth and distribution of bank
loans, investments and deposits, and affect interest
rates charged on loans and earned on investments or
paid for time and savings deposits. FRB monetary
policies have had a significant effect on the operating
results of commercial banks in the past, and this is
expected to continue in the future.
In January 1995, the Board of Directors of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") voted
unanimously to propose a reduction in the deposit
insurance premiums paid by banks when the Bank
Insurance Fund ("BIF") reaches its recapitalization
target of $1.25 for every $100 of insured deposits.
This recapitalization target apparently was reached
during the second quarter of 1995. Under the FDIC
proposal, institutions insured through BIF would pay an
average of 4.5 cents per $100 of domestic deposits and
institutions that are insured through the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") would continue to
pay an average premium of 23 cents per $100 of
deposits. The FDIC has not yet acted upon the
proposal. All of AMBANC's banking subsidiaries are
BIF-insured institutions (the deposits acquired from
the Princeton branch of First Indiana Bank on March 17,
1995, however, remain insured through SAIF). AMBANC's
banking subsidiaries would benefit from any deposit
insurance premium reduction, as would other BIF-insured
institutions.
PROPERTIES
First National conducts its operations from its
main office at 300 West Main Street in Robinson,
Illinois, and from three branches in Illinois: the
Westgate Branch at 1302 West Main Street in Robinson;
the Flat Rock Branch at First and Main Streets in Flat
Rock; and the Mt. Carmel Branch at 9th and Mulberry
Street in Mt. Carmel. The building that houses First
National's main office is a three-level brick building
containing approximately 24,800 square feet, all of
which is occupied by First National. The Westgate
Branch is located in the one-story Westgate Shopping
Center and occupies approximately 312 square feet. The
Flat Rock Branch occupies all 980 square feet of a
single-story wooden building. The Mt. Carmel Branch
occupies all of a single-story brick building
consisting of approximately 5,600 square feet. The<PAGE>
<PAGE>59
main office and the Flat Rock and Mt. Carmel Branches
have drive-up facilities.
DESCRIPTION OF ROBINSON CAPITAL STOCK
GENERAL
Robinson's authorized capital stock consists of
240,000 shares of Common Stock, 119,200 shares of which
were issued and outstanding at July 1, 1995. Robinson
Common Stock was held of record by approximately 146
shareholders at July 1, 1995.
MARKET PRICE
Robinson Common Stock is not traded on any
established market, and there are no regularly
published bid and asked quotations. To the best of the
knowledge of Robinson management, there were no sales
transactions in 1994 and there have not been any sales
transactions in 1995 prior to the date of this
Prospectus/Proxy Statement.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>60
DIVIDENDS
Robinson historically has paid dividends on a
quarterly basis. During 1993, Robinson paid quarterly
dividend of 35 cents for an annual total of $ 1.40 and
during 1994, Robinson paid a quarterly dividend of 38
cents for an annual toal of $ 1.52. During 1995 and
prior to the date of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement,
Robinson has paid three quarterly dividends of 41 cents
each, for a total of $1.23. The Acquisition Agreements
provide that Robinson may continue to pay its regular
dividend dividends consistent with past practice in
amount and timing until consummation of the Merger,
except that Robinson may not pay a dividend during the
quarter that the Merger is consummated if Robinson's
shareholders would be entitled to receive a dividend
from AMBANC during that quarter.
Substantially all of Robinson's cash income is
derived from First National. As a national bank, First
National is subject to certain restrictions imposed by
its primary regulator, the Comptroller of the Currency,
with respect to the payment of dividends to Robinson.
First National must obtain the prior approval of the
Comptroller of the Currency if the total of all
dividends declared in any calendar year would exceed
net income for the preceding two calendar years.

FIRST ROBINSON BANCORP
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS USED HEREIN ARE
IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
This section presents an analysis of the consolidated
balance sheets of Robinson and its 100.00% owned
subsidiary, First National, at December 31, 1994 and
1993 and March 31, 1995 and 1994 and the consolidated
statements of income for the years ended December 31,
1994, 1993 and 1992 and for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994. This review should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements, notes to consolidated financial statements
and other financial data presented elsewhere in this
Prospectus/Proxy. Robinson has presented interest
income in this discussion and analysis on a fully
taxable equivalent (FTE)
basis.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for 1994 was $1,059 or $8.89 per share
compared to $743 or $6.22 per share in 1993 and $882 or
$7.38 per share in 1992. The following is an analysis
of the primary components of net income for the three
months ending March 31, 1995 and for the years 1994,
1993 and 1992 with discussion and analysis on the
contrasts between these periods and the effect of
previous trends on anticipated future earnings.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income is the principal source of
Robinson's earnings and represents the difference
between interest income on loans and investments over
the interest cost of deposits and borrowed funds.
Net interest income increased $772 or 21.15% from 1992
to 1993 due to increased loans that were funded by a
reduction in investment securities which have a lower
yield than loans. Net interest income increased $61 or
1.38% from 1993 to 1994 due to a stronger loan demand
weakened by a combination of a reduction in investment
securities and increased deposit base. Net interest
margin, or net interest income to average earning
assets, increased from 3.94% in 1992 to 4.47% in 1993
then decreased to 4.28% in 1994 and to 4.26% at
March 31, 1995. Total average earning assets increased
$6,302 or 6.80% from 1992 to 1993 while average rates
decreased by .38%. Total average earning assets<PAGE>
<PAGE>64
increased $5,743 or 5.80% from 1993 to 1994 while
average rates continued to decrease from 7.79% to
7.68%, respectively. Total average earning assets
decreased $3,566 or 3.40% from 1994 to March 31, 1995
while average rates increased by .24%.
Total interest bearing liabilities increased $4,606 or
5.51% from 1992 to 1993 due to increased savings and
demand deposit accounts. At the same time average
interest rates on deposits decreased from 4.30% to
2.99% due to a dramatic decline in overall market
interest rates. From 1993 to 1994 interest rates on
deposits increased from 3.72% to 3.83% while interest
bearing liabilities increased $4,437 or 5.03%. These
changes were caused by the rise of time deposit and
short term borrowing rates and the inflow of time
deposits from other investment vehicles available to
depositors. From 1994 to March 31, 1995 interest rates
on deposits continued to decrease from 3.83% to 3.73%
while interest bearing liabilities decreased $547 or
.59%.
The following schedule provides details concerning
interest income, average balances and the related
interest rates for the past three years.

Provision for Loan Losses and Allowance for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses provides a reserve (the
allowance for loan losses) to which loan losses are
charged as those losses become evident. Management
determines the appropriate level of the allowance for
loan losses on a quarterly basis utilizing a report
containing loans with a more than normal degree of
risk.
The provision for loan losses for 1994 was $238 as
compared to $1,022 and $119 for 1993 and 1992. Net
charge-offs (loan losses charged against the allowance
for loan losses less recoveries of prior charge-offs)
for those years were $171, $1,127 and $49 while the
year end allowance for loan losses was $620 in 1994 as
compared to $553 in 1993 and $658 in 1992. The year
end allowance for losses as a percent of loans, less
unearned income, was .92%, .84% and 1.38% for the years
1994, 1993 and 1992. The ratio of net loans charged
off as a percentage of total average loans less
unearned interest was .25% in 1994, 1.90% in 1993 and
.12% in 1992. During the year 1993, Robinson
experienced significantly higher net charge-offs as did
many banks nationwide. In 1993 losses on loans for one
area business accounted for 80% of the total net
charge-offs. The ratio of net charge-offs to average
loans has improved in 1994. These improvements can be
attributed to higher underwriting standards, improved
asset quality and stringent management analysis.

Non-performing assets are defined as loans delinquent
over 90 days, non-accrual loans and restructured loans.
Once a loan becomes 90 days past due in the payment of
either interest or principal, the loan will be placed
on a non-accrual status. After 120 days past due, the
loan will be given to bank counsel to begin legal
action. These loans do not necessarily represent
future losses to Robinson since underlying collateral
can be sold and the financial condition of the
borrowers can improve. The following table sets forth
the detail of non-performing loans and their
percentage of loans, net of unearned income:

Based upon Robinson's review, considering remaining collateral
and/or financial condition of identified loans with more than a
normal degree of risk, including non-performing loans, historical
loan loss percentage and economic conditions, it is management's
belief that the $238 of provision for loan losses during 1994 and
the $620 of allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1994, is
adequate to cover future possible losses.

Non-interest Income
The balance of earnings of a banking institution are
typically generated through non-interest income from
fees and service charges. The following table outlines
the components of this income source.

As noted on the preceding schedule, non-interest income
excluding securities gains increased 6% from 1993 to
1994 and 52.30% from 1994 to March 31, 1995 due to
implementation of new fee programs.
Although securities are purchased to be held to their
maturities and Robinson does not engage in trading
activities, the investment portfolio was repositioned
in 1992 by selling certain investments and buying
mortgage backed securities. These transactions
resulted in securities gains and are expected to
enhance future earnings by improving Robinson's
sensitivity position. Security gains represented a
significant portion of non-interest income in 1992.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased $200 or 7% from 1992 to
1993 and $252 or 8.26% from 1993 to 1994. Occupancy
expenses increased 11% during 1993 due to renovation of
Robinson's Mt. Carmel and Westgate facility.

Income Tax
Robinson's effective tax rate, computed as a percentage
of income taxes to income before income taxes, is lower
than the federal tax rate of 34% due to income
generated on tax exempt investment securities,
accretion income on investment securities, directors
deferred compensation, and tax credit carryforwards.
The relationship of tax exempt income before income
taxes is reflected in the following table:

Effective January 1, 1992 Robinson adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes. The cumulative effect of the change in
accounting principle is included in determining net
income for 1992. The effect of this change was
immaterial to the 1992 financial statements.
At December 31, 1994 Robinson had an alternative
minimum tax credit carryforward of $262,384.
Financial Condition
Investments
Robinson's holdings of short term investments, defined
as federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits in
other banks, serve as a source of liquidity to meet<PAGE>
<PAGE>77
depositor and borrower fund requirements. Short term
investments had a combined average outstanding balances
of $1,873 and $1,468 for the years 1994 and 1993.
The following table shows the components of total
investment securities at March 31, 1995 and 1994 and at
December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992.

The market value of total investment securities was
$34,716 at March 31, 1995, $34,936 at December 31,
1994, $35,867 at December 31, 1993, and $47,546 at
December 31, 1992. The unrealized net market value
appreciation of $523 at March 31, 1995 is comprised of
a net unrealized market decline of $2 and a net
unrealized market appreciation of $525. The unrealized
net market value depreciation of $752 at December 31,
1994 is comprised of a net unrealized market decline of
$993 and a net unrealized market appreciation of $242.
The decrease in the investment portfolio from 1992 to
1993 reflects the strong loan demand and the move into
the Mt. Carmel market area. Short term investments
purchased from the acquired deposits have been used to
help fund the loan growth. Prepayment of mortgage
backed securities has slowed in the first quater of
1995 due to a decrease in refinancing of mortgages
caused by higher interest rates. Although loan demand
has not been strong in the first quarter of 1995, the
investment portfolio has not shown growth due to the
continued decline in Bank deposits.
In an effort to meet any changing liquidity or capital
adequacy needs as a result of any changes in economic
or financial conditions as they relate to Robinson's
overall interest rate risk, Robinson has labeled
$34,240 of its investment portfolio at March 31, 1995
as Available for Sale as defined by FASB 115.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>78
Loans
The loan portfolio constitutes the major earning asset
of most bank holding corporations and offers the best
alternative for obtaining maximum interest spread above
the cost of funds. The overall economic strength of
any bank holding corporation generally parallels the
quality and yield of its portfolio. Robinson's total
average loans were $66,505 through March 31, 1995, a
decrease of $1,774 or 2.60% from 1994. Robinson's
total average loans were $68,279 in 1994, an increase
of $1,527 or 20.66% from 1993. Robinson had total
average loans of $56,590 in 1993, an decrease of
$14,910 or 35.77% from 1992. The following table
presents loans outstanding at interim and at year end.

</TABLE>
Loan demand in all loan categories has increased 53.19%
from 1990 to 1994 due to Robinson's commitment to
community reinvestment and through the offering of
competitive lending packages.
Deposits
The deposit base provides the major funding source for
earning assets of most bank holding corporations.
Robinson's average deposit base funded 92.66% and 93.7%
of the average earning assets for 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Robinson's total average deposits were
$97,069 in 1994, a increase of $4,294 or 4.6% from
1993. Robinson's total average deposits were $92,775
in 1993, a increase of $5,023 or 5.7% from 1992, during
which the total average deposits were $87,752. The
change in 1992's deposit mix versus 1991 was due to the
purchase of the Olympic Federal Savings, Mt. Carmel
branch of which the majority of deposits were in time
and savings deposits. During 1994 with the continued
lower interest rates and increased competition from<PAGE>
<PAGE>79
nonbank financial services, depositors moved some of
their deposits to other investment vehicles outside
First National. Generally, repurchase agreements and
other short term deposits are more subject to interest
variations and thus, are not included in the core
deposit base.
The following table indicates the mix and levels of
deposits at interim and at year end.

</TABLE>
Management expects the deposit mix to remain relatively
stable as interest rates stabilize. The interest rate
differential between short term deposits, (defined as
interest bearing demand deposits) and time deposits was
narrower, resulting in a shift to more short term
deposits. Total deposits decreased $2,118 or 2.17%
during 1994 and increased $5101 or 5.51% during 1993.
Financial institutions industry as a whole are
experiencing the trend of customers being more rate
conscious, which will have the effect of placing
increased pressure on maintaining historic levels of
net interest margin.
Short-Term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings of Robinson consist of repurchase
agreements, which are subject to interest rate
variations. Robinson's total average short term
borrowings were $2,880 in 1994, an increase of $684 or
31.15% from 1993. Robinson's average short-term
borrowings were $2,196 in 1993, an increase of $513 or
30.48% from 1992, during which the total average
short-term borrowings were $1,683.
Liquidity and Rate Sensitivity
Cash flows for Robinson occur within the operating,
investing and financing categories as follows: Cash
flows from operating activities emanate primarily from<PAGE>
<PAGE>80
net interest margin and fee income less overhead.
Investing activities generate or use cash flows through
the origination, purchase and principal collection of
loans, the purchase, maturity and sale of investments
and acquisition of property and equipment. Cash flows
from financing activities occur from deposits and
withdrawals of deposit accounts, increases or decreases
in short term borrowings, and dividends paid to
shareholders.
Robinson's activity in components of the balance sheet
can be determined from the changes in average balances
of funding sources and average balances of funding
uses. The following table summarizes funding sources
and funding uses which includes average balances,
amount of dollar change and the percentage change.

Robinson does not foresee any unusual demands on funds
for capital outlays or liquidity needs in the
foreseeable future.
Outstanding loan commitments, credit card arrangements,
letters of credit and customers' unused credit lines
amounted to $14,550 at March 31, 1995, $13,765 at March
31, 1994, $13,865 at December 31, 1994 and $15,226 at
December 31, 1993. To the extent, however, that
letters of credit, credit card arrangements, loan
commitments and customers' unused lines of credit
require funding, these obligations will be met by the
normal conversion of short term investments.<PAGE>
<PAGE>82
Two basic aspects of asset/liability management
strategy are the maintenance of adequate liquidity and
the monitoring of the interest sensitivity position.
Liquidity management is the process by which Robinson
provides the continuing flow of funds necessary to meet
all of its financial commitments on a timely basis.
These commitments include meeting depositor
withdrawals, funding credit commitments to borrowers,
repaying debt when due and paying operating expenses
and dividends. Liquidity can be provided, in part in
the normal course of business from cash flows generated
from interest and fee income, maturing assets and new
deposits.
Interest rate sensitivity occurs when assets or
liabilities are subject to rate and yield changes
within a designated time period. The rate sensitivity
position, or gap, is determined by the difference in
the amount of rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive
liabilities at various maturity intervals. The
management of this gap position is required to protect
the net interest rates and to assure a greater degree
of earnings stability.

for investment securities outstanding:

Robinson manages its rate sensitivity position through
the use of floating rate loans and by matching funds
acquired having a specific maturity with loans,
securities, or money market investments with similar
maturities. The rate sensitivity position is computed
for various repricing intervals by calculating rate
sensitivity gaps. Although the rate sensitivity gap
constantly changes as funds are acquired and invested,
Robinson's negative gap at one year or less of $23,050
at March 31, 1995 and $22,795 at December 31, 1994 was
approximately (22.93)% and (21.76)% of the earning
assets at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
respectively.
Capital
The capital of Robinson is determined by the changes in
the level of net income and the payout of dividends.
The capital ratios are also affected by changes in<PAGE>
<PAGE>85
total capital and total assets. The strength of its
capital position determines the ability of a financial
institution to take advantage of growth opportunities
and handle unforeseen financial difficulties.
Robinson's stockholders' equity at March 31, 1995 was
$9,877 an increase of 7.68% from December 31, 1994.
Robinson's stockholders' equity at December 31, 1994
was $9,173, an increase of 4.69% from the December 31,
1993 total of $8,762.
Robinson's subsidiary, The First National Bank in
Robinson (First National), is subject to the issuance
of capital adequacy guidelines by its regulators; the
Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation; all of which have issued similar
guidelines for the measurement of capital adequacy.
One measure is the leverage capital ratio, which equals
the ratio of ending capital less intangible assets to
average total assets less intangible assets. The
leverage ratio must be more than 3%. The regulators
have also issued similar risk-based capital guidelines
for all U.S. banks and bank holding companies modeled
after the Basle Accord which has been adopted by the
central banks of major industrialized nations in an
effort to harmonize bank capital standards. The
guidelines include a definition of capital and provide
a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by
assigning assets and off-balance sheet instruments to
broad risk categories. The standards, which must now
be met, are a minimum ratio of total capital to
risk-weighted assets with a minimum of 4% when using
Tier 1 capital and a minimum of 8% when using Tier 2
capital. Tier 1 capital is the sum of the core capital
elements (common shareholders' equity, qualifying
perpetual preferred stock and minority interest in the
equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries) less
intangible assets. Tier 2 capital is the same as Tier
1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses limited to
a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. The First
National Bank in Robinson's capital level significantly
exceeds the minimum standards and is summarized in the
following table.

Inflation
For a financial institution, effects of price changes
and inflation vary considerably from an industrial
organization. Changes in prices of goods and services
are the primary determinant of an industrial company's
profit, whereas changes in interest rates have a major
impact on a financial institution's profitability.
Inflation affects the growth of total assets, but it is
difficult to assess it impact because neither the
timing nor magnitude of the changes in the consumer
price index directly coincide with changes in interest
rates.
During periods of high inflation there are normally
increases in the money supply. During such times,
financial institutions often experience above average
growth in loans and deposits. Also, general increases
in the prices of goods and services will result in
increased operational expenses. Over the past few
years the rate of inflation has been relatively low,
and its impact on the balance sheet and levels of
income and expense has been nominal.

DESCRIPTION OF AMBANC CAPITAL STOCK
AUTHORIZED BUT UNISSUED SHARES
AMBANC's Articles of Incorporation authorize the
issuance of 5,000,000 shares of AMBANC Common Stock, of
which 2,372,555 shares were issued and outstanding at
July 1, 1995, and 200,000 shares of Preferred Stock,
$10.00 par value, of which no shares were issued and
outstanding at July 1, 1995. The Board of Directors
has the power to determine the relative rights and
restriction of any series of Preferred Stock it may
authorize in the future and may provide terms upon
which Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of
any other class of stock. AMBANC has reserved up to
24,000 shares of AMBANC Common Stock that may be issued
pursuant to options granted under a previously existing
stock option plan.
COMMON STOCK
VOTING RIGHTS
Each share of AMBANC Common Stock entitles the
holder thereof to one vote on all matters on which the
holders of shares of AMBANC Common Stock are entitled
to vote. Except for (a) supermajority votes required
to approve certain business combinations and certain
other matters (see "DESCRIPTION OF AMBANC CAPITAL STOCK
- -- Anti-takeover Provisions"), and (b) certain
corporate actions that must be approved by a majority
of the outstanding votes of the relevant voting group
under the Indiana Business Corporation Law, the
affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of the
votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is
sufficient to approve matters submitted for shareholder
approval, except that Directors are elected by a
plurality of the votes cast. Shareholders do not have
cumulative voting rights for the election of Directors.
Directors may be removed, with or without cause, only
by the vote of 80 percent of the shares entitled to
vote at an election of Directors.
DIVIDEND RIGHTS
Subject to any preferential dividend rights of a
series of shares of Preferred Stock, the holders of
AMBANC Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends
as and when declared by the Board of Directors from
funds legally available for their payment. A dividend
may be paid by AMBANC only if, after paying such
dividend, (1) AMBANC would be able to pay its debts as
they become due in the usual course of business, and<PAGE>
<PAGE>88
(2) AMBANC total assets would not be less than the sum
of its total liabilities (and without regard to any
amounts that would be needed, if AMBANC were to be
dissolved at the time of the dividend, to satisfy the
preferential rights upon dissolution of any
shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to
those receiving the dividend, unless the Board provides
otherwise by means of an amendment to the Articles of
Incorporation that designates the terms of the shares
having such preferential rights). Furthermore, because
funds for the payment of dividends by AMBANC must come
primarily from the earnings of its four subsidiary
banks and restrictions on the amount of dividends that
the subsidiary banks may pay also restrict the amount
of funds available for payment of dividends by AMBANC.
LIQUIDATION
Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up
of the affairs of AMBANC, the holders of AMBANC Common
Stock are entitled to share ratably in the assets
legally available for distribution to the holders of
AMBANC Common Stock after satisfaction in full of any
liquidation preference to which holders of Preferred
Stock, if any, may then be entitled.
OTHER MATTERS
Holders of AMBANC Common Stock do not have
preemptive or conversion rights with respect to any
securities of AMBANC. There are no sinking fund
provisions applicable to shares of AMBANC Common Stock.
All outstanding shares of AMBANC Common Stock are,
and the shares offered hereby will be, when issued,
fully paid and nonassessable. Such shares are not
redeemable at the option of AMBANC or holders thereof.
Bank One, Indianapolis, N.A. serves as the
transfer agent of AMBANC Common Stock.
PREFERRED STOCK
AMBANC's Articles of Incorporation authorize the
Board of Directors, without further shareholder
approval, to establish the relative rights,
designations, preferences, and limitations or
restrictions of the shares of Preferred Stock prior to
the issuance thereof, including without limitation,
dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights,
liquidation preferences, redemption rights, division
into series, sinking fund provisions, and similar
matters. Thus, the Board of Directors may authorize a<PAGE>
<PAGE>89
series of Preferred Stock with rights and preferences
that are superior to those of AMBANC Common Stock, the
issuance of which could adversely affect the voting
power of the holders of AMBANC Common Stock.
The availability of Preferred Stock with
unspecified voting rights and possibly other rights,
such as a required approval of mergers or other
extraordinary corporate transactions, could be used by
management to create voting impediments or to deter
persons seeking to effect a merger or otherwise to gain
control of AMBANC.
Preferred Stock may also be issued at some future
time in connection with an acquisition by AMBANC of an
additional company or companies or some other business
permitted to be acquired by AMBANC. However, no such
future issuances are presently planned or contemplated.
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
AMBANC's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
contain certain anti-takeover provisions described
below. These provisions may discourage or prevent
tender or exchange offers by a corporation or group
that intends to use the acquisition of a substantial
number of shares of AMBANC to initiate a takeover
culminating in a merger or other business combination.
In recent years a number of other companies have
adopted similar charter or bylaw provisions for the
same or similar reasons. These provisions may also
have the effect of making the removal of current
management more difficult.
POSSIBLE ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK
As of July 1, 1995, there were 5,000,000
authorized shares of AMBANC Common Stock of which
2,372,555 shares were outstanding and 24,000 shares
were reserved for future issuance. Upon consummation
of the Merger, assuming that all Robinson shareholders
elect to receive shares of AMBANC Common Stock as the
Merger Consideration and assuming no Robinson
shareholders dissent, it is estimated that
approximately 3,009,059 shares of AMBANC Common Stock
will be outstanding and not reflecting the payment of
cash for fractional share interests), with
shares reserved for future issuance. The Board could
use the authorized but unissued shares at its
discretion to resist the consummation of certain
takeover attempts by, for example, diluting the
ownership interest of a substantial shareholder or<PAGE>
<PAGE>90
substantially increasing the amount of consideration
necessary for a shareholder to obtain control.
POSSIBLE ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK
AMBANC's Articles of Incorporation authorize the
Board of Directors to issue up to 200,000 shares of
Preferred Stock in one or more series. The Board is
authorized to fix the number of shares to be included
in the new series, the designation, powers,
preferences, and voting and other rights of each such
series, and the qualifications, limitations, or
restrictions thereof. The Board could use the
Preferred Stock at its discretion to resist the
consummation of certain takeover attempts.
SUPERMAJORITY VOTE AND MINIMUM PRICE REQUIRED FOR
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The Articles of Incorporation of AMBANC include a
provision imposing certain supermajority vote and
minimum price requirements on any "Business
Combination" with a "Related Person" unless the
combination has been approved by the vote of two-thirds
of certain members of the Board of Directors of AMBANC
who are not associated with the Related Person. This
provision defines "Business Combination" very broadly
to include, subject to certain conditions, (i) any
merger or consolidation of AMBANC or any of its
subsidiaries into or with a Related Person, its
affiliates or associates; (ii) any sale, exchange,
lease, transfer or other disposition by AMBANC or any
of its subsidiaries of all or any substantial part of
its or their assets or businesses to or with a Related
Person, its affiliates or associates; (iii) the
purchase, exchange, lease or acquisition by AMBANC or
any of its subsidiaries of all or any substantial part
of the assets or business of a Related Person, its
affiliates or associates; (iv) any reclassification of
securities, recapitalization or other transaction that
has the effect of increasing the proportionate amount
of AMBANC's Common Stock (or other voting capital
security) beneficially owned by a Related Person; (v)
any partial or complete liquidation, spinoff or split
up of AMBANC or any of its subsidiaries; and (vi) the
acquisition by a Related Person of beneficial ownership
upon issuance of Common Stock (or other voting capital
shares) of AMBANC or any of its subsidiaries or any
securities convertible into, or any rights, warrants or
options to acquire, any such shares. "Related Person"
also is defined broadly to mean any person (which
includes any individual, corporation or entity other
than AMBANC or its subsidiaries) who (i) beneficially<PAGE>
<PAGE>91
owns ten percent or more of AMBANC Common Stock (or
other voting capital security) (a "Ten Percent
Shareholder"); (ii) any person who within the preceding
two-year period has been a Ten Percent Shareholder and
who directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by,
or is under common control with AMBANC; or (iii) any
person who has received, other than pursuant to or in a
series of transactions involving a public offering
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933,
AMBANC Common Stock (or other voting capital security)
that has been owned by a Related Person within the
preceding two-year period. In the absence of approval
by the AMBANC Directors who are not associated with the
Related Person or, in the alternative, the agreement by
the Related Person to pay all other shareholders a
certain minimum price for their shares, a Business
Combination with a Related Person would require the
approval of 80 percent of the outstanding voting stock
plus the approval of a majority of the outstanding
shares that are not controlled by the Related Person.
In general terms, the restrictions apply to mergers or
consolidations of AMBANC or any subsidiary with any
Related Person, transfers or encumbrances of all or
substantially all of the assets of AMBANC to a Related
Person, the adoption of any plan of liquidation
proposed by a Related Person or any transaction which
would have the effect, directly or indirectly, of
increasing the proportionate share of any class of
equity securities of AMBANC or any shareholder
(including affiliates and associates) who is the
beneficial owner of more than 10 percent of the voting
power of the then outstanding shares entitled to vote
generally in the election of Directors of AMBANC.
Absent the provision regulating Business Combinations,
mergers, consolidations, and sales of all or
substantially all assets would require only the
approval of a majority of the Board of Directors and
(subject to the rights of any Preferred Stock issued in
the future) the affirmative vote of a majority of the
total number of outstanding shares of AMBANC entitled
to vote on the matter.
CLASSIFIED BOARD
The Articles also permit the Bylaws, when the
Board consists of at least nine members, to provide for
the Board to be divided into two or three equal (or as
nearly equal as possible) classes of Directors serving
staggered two or three-year terms. As a result,
approximately one-half or one-third of the Board would
be elected each year. Initially, members of all<PAGE>
<PAGE>92
classes would be elected at an annual meeting of
shareholders. Directors then elected to Class I would
serve until the annual meeting of shareholders held one
year later. If the Board is divided into three
classes, Directors initially elected to Classes II and
III would serve until the annual meetings held two or
three years later, respectively. Commencing with the
reelection of Directors to Class I one year after the
initial election of all three classes, each class of
Directors elected at an annual meeting would be elected
to three-year terms. In addition, the Bylaws provide
that any vacancy shall be filled by a majority vote of
the remaining Directors. Any Director elected to fill
such vacancy shall hold office for an unexpired term of
the class of which he is a member. The Board of
Directors of AMBANC is currently divided into three
classes.
REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS
The Articles provide that any Director may be
removed only by an 80 percent affirmative vote of the
outstanding voting power at a shareholders' meeting
called for that purpose, with or without good cause.
AMENDMENT, CHANGE, OR REPEAL OF CERTAIN ARTICLES
The Articles provide that any amendment, change,
or repeal of certain of the articles of the Articles of
Incorporation described above would require the
approval of (a) at least 80 percent of the outstanding
voting power, and (b) in the case of an amendment,
change, or repeal of any of the above-stated provisions
proposed by or on behalf of a Related Person, the
approval by a majority of the shares not controlled by
the Related Person. However, in the event that an
amendment, change, or repeal of those provisions is
approved by two-thirds of the Board of Directors, and,
if the amendment is proposed by or on behalf of a
Related Person, by the favorable vote of two-thirds of
certain Directors who are not associated with the
Related Person, the affirmative vote of a majority of
the outstanding voting power would be sufficient to
approve any such amendment, change, or repeal.
CONTROL SHARE RESTRICTIONS
AMBANC has elected not to be governed by Chapter
42 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law. Chapter
42, which deals with Control Share Acquisitions, was
adopted by the Indiana Legislature in 1986 and provides
that shares acquired by a person or a group in excess
of certain percentages of the total outstanding shares<PAGE>
<PAGE>93
(20 percent, 33-1/3 percent, and 50 percent) have only
such voting rights as are approved by certain
disinterested shareholders. In order to obtain
shareholder approval of voting rights for the excess
control shares, the acquiring person or group must give
written notice of the control share acquisition and
request a special shareholders' meeting. Because of
the inflexibility of the statute, many corporations,
including AMBANC, have decided not to be subject to
Chapter 42 but instead to rely on the anti-takeover
provisions in their Articles of Incorporation to
protect them against unwanted takeovers or other
hostile maneuvering that would not be in the best
interest of their shareholders.
POTENTIAL DISADVANTAGES TO SHAREHOLDERS
Although the purpose of these provisions is to
insure fair treatment of all shareholders in the event
of certain mergers, tender offers, or other attempts to
acquire control of AMBANC (a "takeover"), the
provisions regarding Business Combinations (as well as
the voting requirements regarding the removal of
directors) and the classified board provisions may have
certain adverse effects in that they may make more
difficult the accomplishment of certain takeovers at
prices or on terms that some shareholders may consider
beneficial, impede the assumption of control by
principal shareholders in some cases, or make more
difficult the removal of current management even if
favored by a majority of the shareholders.
COMPARISON OF ROBINSON COMMON STOCK
AND AMBANC COMMON STOCK
GENERAL
The Robinson Common Stock is similar in many
respects to the AMBANC Common Stock to be issued
pursuant to the Merger. Certain differences exist,
however, because Robinson's Articles of Incorporation
differs from the Articles of Incorporation of AMBANC,
and the provisions of the Illinois Business Corporation
Act (under which Robinson is organized) differ from the
provisions of the Indiana Business Corporation Law
(under which AMBANC is organized). The following is a
comparison of Robinson Common Stock with AMBANC Common
Stock and a description of certain material differences
between them.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>94
NUMBER OF SHARES
AUTHORIZED BUT UNISSUED
The Articles of Incorporation of Robinson
authorize the issuance of 240,000 shares of Robinson
Common Stock, no par value per share. As of July 1,
1995, 119,200 shares of Robinson Common Stock were
issued and outstanding. The Articles of Incorporation
of AMBANC authorize the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, $10.00 par value, of which 2,372,555
shares were issued and outstanding as of July 1, 1995,
and of which 24,000 shares have been reserved for
future issuance pursuant to options granted pursuant to
a previously existing stock option plan, and 200,000
shares of Preferred Stock, $10.00 par value, of which
no shares were issued and outstanding as of July 1,
1995. Upon consummation of the Merger, it is estimated
that approximately 3,009,059 shares of AMBANC Common
Stock will be issued and outstanding (assuming no
dissenting shareholders). The remaining shares of
AMBANC Common Stock will remain authorized but unissued
and may be issued by the Board of Directors of AMBANC
without further shareholder approval for any proper
corporate purpose, including possible issuance in
connection with mergers and acquisitions. Such shares
could be issued either to existing shareholders of
AMBANC or to persons who are not then shareholders of
AMBANC. The Board of Directors has no present plans to
issue the shares of AMBANC Common Stock that will be
authorized but unissued after the Merger except the
shares which have been reserved for future issuance as
previously stated.
PREFERRED STOCK
Unlike the Articles of Incorporation of Robinson,
which provides only for the issuance of common stock,
the Articles of Incorporation of AMBANC authorize the
Board of Directors to issue 200,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, $10.00 par value. The Articles give the AMBANC
Board of Directors the authority to establish the
relative rights, preferences, restrictions and
limitations of rights of the Preferred Stock. Such
Preferred Stock has no voting rights except on matters
to which it is entitled to vote as a class under the
Indiana Business Corporation Law. The AMBANC Board of
Directors presently has no plans to issue any of the
authorized shares of Preferred Stock.
DIVIDEND RIGHTS
Holders of Robinson Common Stock and AMBANC Common
Stock each have the right to receive, pro rata, such<PAGE>
<PAGE>95
dividends as are declared by the Board of Directors out
of funds legally available. Robinson's and AMBANC's
ability to pay dividends is dependent upon their
receipt of dividends from their respective bank
subsidiaries. The amount of dividends paid by AMBANC's
subsidiaries Casey and Farmers' is subject to the
provisions of the Illinois Banking Act, which limit the
amount of dividends an Illinois-chartered bank may pay
to the amount of net profits on hand less losses and
bad debts. The National Banking Act restricts the
amount of dividends national banks, including American
National and Citizens', can pay. Prior approval of the
Comptroller of the Currency is required if the total of
all dividends declared by American National or
Citizens' in any calendar year would exceed net income
for the preceding two calendar years. As a practical
matter, the amount of dividends payable by Robinson's
and AMBANC's banking subsidiaries is restricted to a
lesser amount than legally permissible because of the
need for the banks to maintain adequate capital.
Robinson's and AMBANC's ability to pay dividends is
also restricted by the state corporation laws under
which they were organized. Pursuant to the Illinois
Business Corporation Act, to which Robinson is subject,
and the Indiana Business Corporation Law, to which
AMBANC is subject, generally the payment of dividends
is prohibited if, after giving effect to the payment,
either the corporation would not be able to pay its
debts as they come due in the usual course of business
or the corporation's total assets would be less than
the sum of its liabilities plus preferential rights
payable upon dissolution.
VOTING RIGHTS
Each holder of Robinson Common Stock and AMBANC
Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on most
matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. The
shareholders of AMBANC and Robinson do not have
cumulative voting rights on the election of Directors,
which means that the Directors standing for election at
a particular meeting can be elected by a simple
plurality of the votes cast.
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the shares entitled to vote is sufficient to approve
most matters submitted to a shareholder vote of either
corporation. Under the Indiana Business Corporation
Law, a merger, consolidation, or sale of substantially
all of a corporation's assets must be approved by the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
Robinson Common Stock. In contrast, the Illinois
Business Corporation Act requires that mergers,<PAGE>
<PAGE>96
consolidations, and sales of substantially all of a
corporation's assets be approved by holders of two-
thirds of the outstanding shares. The Articles of
Incorporation of AMBANC in addition contain certain
anti-takeover provisions which, among other things,
require a supermajority vote of shareholders in certain
circumstances. See "DESCRIPTION OF AMBANC CAPITAL
STOCK--Anti-Takeover Provisions."
LIQUIDATION RIGHTS
In the event of liquidation of Robinson or AMBANC,
the holders of common stock will be entitled to
receive, pro rata, all of the assets remaining for
distribution to shareholders.
ABSENCE OF PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
Neither the holders of Robinson Common Stock nor
the holders of AMBANC Common Stock have preemptive
rights to purchase their proportionate share of any
future offering of common stock by Robinson or AMBANC.
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
The Articles of Incorporation of Robinson does not
contain any provision that might deter the takeover or
change-in-control of Robinson. Unlike the Articles of
Incorporation of Robinson, the Articles of
Incorporation of AMBANC contain certain anti-takeover
provisions. See "DESCRIPTION OF AMBANC CAPITAL
STOCK--Anti-Takeover Provisions."

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
First Robinson Bancorp
Robinson, Illinois
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets of First Robinson Bancorp and Subsidiary as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the
Bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of First Robinson
Bancorp and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1994 and
1993, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993
and 1992 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

FIRST ROBINSON BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of First Robinson
Bancorp conform to generally accepted accounting
principles and to general practice within the banking
and mortgage banking industries. The following is a
description of the more significant accounting
policies.
Formation of Robinson Bancorp
On September 2, 1983, First Robinson Bancorp completed
the exchange of their shares for the outstanding common
stock of the First National Bank in Robinson. First
Robinson Bancorp issued 60,000 shares of its common
stock for 60,000 shares of the First National Bank in
Robinson common stock. A subsequent stock split on
one-for-one basis was effective to shareholders of
record on December 17, 1983. The consolidation has
been accounted for using the pooling of interest method
of accounting for financial statement purposes.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of First Robinson
Bancorp (the Bank) include the accounts of the Bank and
its wholly owned subsidiary, the First National Bank in
Robinson, which owns all of the Bank's premises.
Significant intercompany transactions and amounts have
been eliminated.
Securities
On January 1, 1994, the Bank adopted Financial
Accounting Standard No. 115 (FAS 115), "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
Prior to adoption of FAS 115, all securities were
carried at amortized cost (cost adjusted for
amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts),
because management had the intent and ability to hold
them for the foreseeable future. Upon adoption of FAS
115, securities were classified by management as
available for sale or held to maturity. The adoption of
FAS 115 in 1994 had no effect on net income, earnings
per share or retained earnings, but did decrease
shareholders' equity by $525,974 as of December 31,
1994, which is a market adjustment of $(751,391) less
$225,417 in deferred taxes. The unrealized
depreciation on securities available for sale is
reflected as a separate component of equity on the
balance sheet.<PAGE>

FIRST ROBINSON BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992
(Continued)
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Securities classified as available for sale are
securities that the Corporation intends to hold for an
indefinite period of time, but not necessarily until
maturity and include securities that management might
use as part of its asset-liability strategy, or that
may be sold in response to changes in interest rates,
changes in prepayment risk, the need to increase
regulatory capital or other similar factors, and which
are carried at market value. Securities classified as
held to maturity are securities that the Corporation
has both the ability and positive intent to hold to
maturity and are carried at cost adjusted for
amortization of premium or accretion of discount using
the level yield basis. Gains and losses on securities
are computed on a specific identification basis.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance is maintained at a level adequate to
absorb probable losses. Management determines the
adequacy of the allowance based upon reviews of
individual credits, recent loss experience, current
economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the
various categories of loans and other pertinent
factors. Credits deemed uncollectible are charged to
the allowance. Provisions for credit losses and
recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to
the allowance.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less
accumulated depreciation. The provision for
depreciation is computed principally by the straight
line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets.
Organizational Cost
The Bank has incurred organizational costs arising from
the proposed merger which have been capitalized. Due
to continuing current costs, amortization has not
commenced as of December 31, 1994.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> F-11
Interest Income on Loans
Interest on loans is accrued and credited to income
based on the principal amount outstanding. The accrual
of interest on loans is discontinued when, in the
opinion of management, there is an indication that the
borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become
due. Upon such discontinuance, all unpaid accrued
interest is reversed.

(Continued)
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Loan Origination Fees and Costs
First Robinson Bancorp has not implemented Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Statement 91,
"Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated
with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct
Costs of Leases." This amount has been determined to
be immaterial.
Retirement Plan
Retirement plan costs are charged to salaries and
employee benefits expense and are funded as accrued.
Other Real Estate Owned
Real estate acquired by foreclosure is carried at the
lower of the recorded investment in the property or its
fair market value. Prior to foreclosure, the value of
the underlying loan is written down to the fair market
value of the real estate to be acquired by a charge to
the allowance for credit losses, if necessary. Any
subsequent write downs are charged against operating
expenses. Operating expenses of such properties, net
of related income, and gains and losses on their
disposition are included in other expenses.
Income Taxes
Provisions for income taxes are based on amounts
reported in the statements of income (after exclusion
of non-taxable income such as interest on state and
municipal securities) and include deferred taxes on
temporary differences in the recognition of income and
expense for tax and financial statement purposes.
Deferred taxes are computed on the liability method as
prescribed in SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes."
Net Income Per Share of Common Stock
Net income per share of common stock is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> F-13
Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business the Bank has entered
into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting
of commitments to extend credit, commitments under
credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit
and standby letters of credit. Such financial
instruments are recorded in the financial statements
when they become payable.

Note 6: Loans to Related Parties
Loans are made in the normal course of business to
officers and directors, their immediate families or
affiliated companies and principal stockholders of the
Bank. Such transactions were made in the ordinary
course of business on substantially the same terms and
conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as
those prevailing at the same time for comparable
transactions with other customers, and did not, in the
opinion of management, involve more than normal credit
risk or present other unfavorable features. The
aggregate amount of loans to such related parties at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, was $1,632,118 and
$1,561,916, respectively. During 1994 and 1993, new
loans to such related parties amounted to $526,557 and
$100,000, and repayments amounted to $456,355 and
$492,522, respectively.

Note 9: Employee Benefits
The Bank has a defined contribution 401 (k) profit
sharing plan for substantially all full-time employees.
The Bank contributions to the plan are composed of
matching contributions equal to 50% of the first 6% of
employee contributions and discretionary profit sharing
contributions. Participants may make voluntary
contributions to the plan up to 10% of their
compensation (as defined). Costs of matching
contributions for the years ended December 31, 1994,
1993 and 1992 amounted to $21,955, $16,800, and
$16,800, respectively. There were no discretionary
profit sharing contributions for 1994 or 1993. A
discretionary profit sharing contribution of $25,000
was made in 1992.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> F-20
The Bank also has a defined contribution money purchase
pension plan which covers substantially all full-time
employees. The plan provides for contributions by the
Bank of 5% of eligible compensation (as defined).
Contributions of $62,659, $39,600, and $29,700 were
made for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively.
The Bank also maintains nonqualified deferred
compensation plans with six of its directors. Benefits
accrue based upon directors' fees deferred, increased
by annual interest on the balance or are increased
systematically based on expected benefits to be paid.
Interest is based upon on eight percent. Balances in
the accounts are $333,923 and $258,901 at December 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively. Amounts charged to
expense, including increases on accounts, were $68,497,
$63,638 and $26,761 in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
Note 10: Income Taxes
The consolidated provision for income taxes consisted
of the following:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1994 1993 1992
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Statutory federal income tax
Current tax liability $285,783 $125,225 $213,969
Deferred tax provision 85,605 7,801 75,152
Current tax provision $371,388 $133,026 $289,121
</TABLE>
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Bank had a deferred
tax asset of $383,410 and $249,160, net of a valuation
allowance of $211,763 and $128,768 included in other
intangible assets. A deferred tax liability of
$467,103 and $472,665 existed at December 31, 1994 and
1993, respectively.
The components of deferred income taxes were
principally related to the allowance for credit losses,
depreciation, accretion, and deferred directors fees.
The provision for federal income taxes is less than
that computed by applying the federal statutory rate of
34% in 1994, 1993 and 1992, as indicated in the
following analysis:

returns. Income tax expense is calculated on each
entities individual income. First Robinson Bancorp had
pretax losses of $32,043, $19,662, and $21,749 for
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, therefore, receiving
tax benefits based on expenses paid.
The Bank also have an alternative minimum tax credit
carryforward of $262,384. This amount is available to
reduce future regular tax due.

Note 11: Commitments, Contingent Liabilities
The Bank's consolidated financial statements do not
reflect various commitments and contingent liabilities
which arise in the normal course of business and which
involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk
and liquidity risk. These commitments and contingent
liabilities are commitments to extend credit and
letters of credit. A summary of the Bank's
commitments and contingent liabilities at December 31,
1994 and 1993 is as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1994 1993
<S> <C> <C>
Commitments to extend credit $9,572,200 $10,851,788
Credit card arrangements 4,284,000 4,121,193
Letters of credit 8,700 252,560
$13,864,900 $15,225,541
</TABLE>
Commitments to extend credit, credit card arrangements,
and letters of credit all include exposure to some
credit loss in the event of nonperformance of the
customer. The Bank's credit policies and procedures
for credit commitments and financial guarantees are the
same as those for extension of credit that are recorded
on the consolidated statements of condition. Because
these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and
because many of them expire without being drawn upon,
they do not generally present any significant liquidity
risk to the Bank. The Bank's experience has been that
approximately eighty-five percent of loan commitments
are drawn upon by customers. The Bank has not been
required to perform on any financial guarantees during
the past three years. The Bank has not incurred any
losses on its commitments in either 1994, 1993 or 1992.
The Bank and its subsidiaries are parties to litigation
and claims arising in the normal course of business.
Management, after consultation with legal counsel,
believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from
such litigation and claims will not be material to the
consolidated financial position.
Note 12: Concentrations of Credit
All of the Bank's loans, commitments, and letters of
credit have been granted to customers in the Bank's
market area. Investments in state and municipal
securities also involve governmental entities within
the Bank's market area. The concentrations of credit
by type of loan are set forth in Note 4. The
distribution of commitments to extend credit were
granted primarily to commercial borrowers.<PAGE>
<PAGE> F-23
Note 13: Regulatory Matters
The First National Bank of Robinson, as a National
Bank, is subject to the dividend restrictions set forth
by the Comptroller of the Currency. Under such
restrictions, the Bank may not, without the prior
approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, declare
dividends in excess of the sum of the current year's
earnings (as defined) plus the retained earnings (as
defined) from the prior two years. The dividends, as
of December 31, 1994, that the Bank could declare,
without the approval of the Comptroller of the
Currency, amounted to approximately $2,743,291. The
Bank is also required to maintain minimum amounts of
capital to total "risk weighted" assets, as defined by
the banking regulators. At December 31, 1994, the Bank
is required to have minimum Tier 1 and Total capital
ratios of 4.00% and 8.00%, respectively. The Bank's
actual ratios at that date were 13.19% and 14.07%,
respectively.
Note 14: Business Combination
On March 27, 1992, the Bank acquired the deposits of
Olympic Federal Savings in Mt. Carmel, Illinois. The
total purchase price was $13,210,835 and comprised of
$13,060,775 in cash and liabilities assumed. An
intangible asset of core deposits valued at $150,060 is
being amortized over six years on a straight line
basis.
Note 15: Proposed Merger
On October 12, 1994, an Agreement and Plan of Merger
was entered into between Ambanc Corporation and First
Robinson Bancorp. The agreement outlines a share for
share exchange for common stock. Consummation of the
transaction is subject to regulatory approval.<PAGE>

of its subsidiaries is or was in violation of any
Environmental Laws or that AMBANC or any of its
<PAGE>
<PAGE> A-38
subsidiaries is responsible for the cleanup of any
pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous or toxic wastes,
substances or materials at, on or beneath any such
property.
(b) To the extent that AMBANC had requested or
obtained environmental investigations on certain
parcels of real property in connection with its prior
acquisitions of other banking organizations that are
now subsidiaries of AMBANC, AMBANC believes that all
such investigations revealed no facts that would
constitute a material violation of Environmental Laws
or obligate AMBANC or any of its subsidiaries to
remedy, stabilize, neutralize, or otherwise alter the
environmental condition of any such property.
SECTION 3.11. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. AMBANC and
each of its subsidiaries has all material licenses,
franchises, permits and other governmental
authorizations that are legally required to enable them
to conduct their respective businesses as presently
conducted and are in compliance in all material
respects with all applicable laws and regulations.
SECTION 3.12. TAX/ERISA MATTERS. AMBANC and all
of its subsidiaries have filed all federal, state, and
local tax returns due in respect of their business and
properties in a timely fashion and have paid or made
provision for all amounts due on such returns, and all
<PAGE>
<PAGE> A-39
such returns fairly reflect the information required to
be presented therein in all material respects. AMBANC
and its subsidiaries are and have been in material
compliance with all applicable laws respecting
employment and employment practices, terms, and
conditions of employment in wages and hours, including,
without limitation, any such laws respecting employment
discrimination and occupational safety and health
requirements, and neither AMBANC nor any of its
subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice.
SECTION 3.13. STATEMENTS TRUE AND CORRECT. None
of the information supplied or to be supplied by AMBANC
for inclusion in (i) the Registration Statement (as
defined in Section 4.04), (ii) the Proxy
Statement/Prospectus (as defined in Section 4.03) and
(iii) any other documents to be filed with the SEC, the
FRB, the OCC or any other regulatory authority in
connection with the Mergers, will, at the respective
times such documents are filed, and, in the case of the
Registration Statement, when it becomes effective, and
with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, when
first mailed to the shareholders of Robinson, be false
or misleading with respect to any material fact, or
omit to state any material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein not misleading, or in the
case of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any amendment
<PAGE>
<PAGE> A-40
thereof or supplement thereto, also at the time of the
shareholders' meeting of the Robinson shareholders
called to vote on the Holding Company Merger, be false
or misleading with respect to any material fact, or
omit to state any material fact necessary to correct
any statement in any earlier communication with respect
to the solicitation of any proxy for the shareholders'
meeting. All documents that AMBANC is responsible for
filing with the SEC or any other regulatory authority
in connection with the Mergers will comply as to form
in all material respects with the provisions of
applicable law and any rules and regulations
thereunder.

sell any investment security owned by them other

property without first obtaining a Phase One
environmental report thereon, prepared by a
reliable and qualified person or firm acceptable
to AMBANC, which indicates that the property is
free of pollutants, contaminants or hazardous or
toxic waste materials; provided, however, that
neither Robinson nor First Robinson shall be
required to obtain such a report with respect to

transaction or action.
(c) Robinson shall promptly notify AMBANC in
writing of the occurrence of any matter or event known

of the Closing Date or the date of termination of this
Agreement, solicit or encourage, or, subject to the
fiduciary duties of its directors as advised by
counsel, hold discussions or negotiations with or
provide any information to, any person in connection
with any proposal from any person for the acquisition
of all or any substantial portion of the business,
assets, shares of Robinson Common or other securities
of Robinson or First National.
SECTION 4.02. BREACHES. Robinson shall, in the
event it has knowledge of the occurrence of any event
or condition which would cause or constitute a breach
(or would have caused or constituted a breach had such
event occurred or been known prior to the date of this
Agreement) of any of its representations or agreements
contained or referred to in this Agreement, give prompt
notice thereof to AMBANC and use its best efforts to
prevent or promptly remedy the same.
SECTION 4.03. SUBMISSION TO SHAREHOLDERS.

date mutually selected by AMBANC and Robinson, a
special meeting of its shareholders (the "Shareholders'
Meeting") for submission of this Agreement and the

<PAGE>
<PAGE> A-47

this Agreement and the Holding Company Merger
contemplated hereby and use its best efforts to obtain
such shareholder approval.
SECTION 4.04. CONSUMMATION OF AGREEMENT.
Robinson and First National shall use their best
efforts to perform and fulfill all conditions and
obligations on their part to be performed or fulfilled
under this Agreement and to effect the Mergers in
accordance with the terms and provisions hereof.
Robinson shall furnish to AMBANC in a timely manner all
information, data and documents in the possession of
Robinson and First National requested by AMBANC as may
be required to obtain any necessary regulatory or other
approvals of the Mergers or to file with the SEC a
registration statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration
<PAGE>
<PAGE> A-48
Statement") relating to the shares of AMBANC Common to
be issued to the shareholders of Robinson pursuant to
the Holding Company Merger and this Agreement and shall
otherwise cooperate fully with AMBANC to carry out the
purpose and intent of this Agreement.
SECTION 4.05. ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS. Robinson
shall provide to AMBANC, as soon as reasonably
practical but not later than sixty (60) days after the
date of this Agreement, a report of a Phase One
environmental investigation on all real property owned
or leased by Robinson or First National (including

corrective actions or the inability to make such an
estimate. Should the cost of taking all remedial and
corrective actions and measures (i) required by
applicable law, or (ii) recommended or suggested by
such report or reports and prudent in light of the
findings of such report, in the aggregate, exceed the
sum of $100,000, as reasonably estimated by an
environmental expert promptly retained for such purpose
by AMBANC and reasonably acceptable to Robinson, or if
the cost of such actions and measures cannot be so
reasonably estimated by such expert with any
reasonable degree of certainty, then AMBANC shall have
the right pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof, for a period
of five (5) business days following receipt of such
estimate or indication that the cost of such actions
and measures cannot be so reasonably estimated, to
terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to
Robinson within such five-day period.
SECTION 4.06. RESTRICTION ON RESALES. Robinson

such Rule 145. Robinson shall also obtain and deliver
to AMBANC prior to the Closing Date, the signed
agreements of each shareholder who may reasonably be
deemed an "affiliate" (as such term is described in the
preceding sentence) of Robinson as of the date of the
Shareholders' Meeting agreeing not to sell any shares

<PAGE>
<PAGE> A-51

material contracts and agreements, loan files, filings
with any regulatory authority, litigation files, plans

Robinson will cause one or more of Robinson's
designated representatives to confer on a regular basis
with the President of AMBANC, or any other person
designated in a written notice given to Robinson by
AMBANC pursuant to this Agreement, to report the
general status of the ongoing operations of Robinson
and First National. Robinson and First National will
promptly notify AMBANC of any material change in the
normal course of the operation of its business or
properties and of any regulatory complaints,
investigations or hearings (or communications
indicating that the same may be contemplated), or the
institution or the threat of significant litigation
involving Robinson or First National and will keep
AMBANC fully informed of such events. AMBANC will hold
any such information which is nonpublic in confidence

prepare and file any other filings required under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")
relating to the Holding Company Merger.

contained or referred to in this Agreement, give prompt

shareholders' meetings, organizational documents,
material contracts and agreements, loan files, filings
with any regulatory authority, litigation files, plans
affecting employees, and any other business activities
or prospects in which Robinson may have a reasonable

<PAGE>
<PAGE> A-55
material change in the normal course of the operation
of its business or properties and of any regulatory
complaints, investigations or hearings (or
communications indicating that the same may be
contemplated), or the institution or the threat of
significant litigation involving AMBANC or any of its
subsidiaries and will keep Robinson fully informed of
such events. Robinson will hold any such information
which is nonpublic in confidence in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.01 hereof.
SECTION 5.05. SEPARATE ENTITY. It is AMBANC's
intent that the directors and officers of First
National in office at the Effective Time will continue
after the Effective Time to manage and operate First
National as a separate banking entity, with such
assistance, advice, and support from AMBANC and its
other banking affiliates as shall be appropriate. At

shall be added to the Board of Directors of AMBANC.
The persons to become directors of AMBANC and First
National shall be selected by mutual agreement of the
respective Boards of Directors. AMBANC agrees that,
for a period of three years after the Effective Time,
it will retain the name "The First National Bank in
<PAGE>
<PAGE> A-56
Robinson" as the name pursuant to which First National
does business; provided, however, that a majority of
the Directors of First National who served as Directors
prior to the Effective Time shall have the authority to
reduce this three-year period at any time after the
Effective Time at their discretion.
SECTION 5.06. DIRECTOR AND OFFICER INSURANCE.
AMBANC agrees that all rights to indemnification
existing in favor of the directors, officers, and

Time.
SECTION 5.07. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. Upon the
Closing Date, it is intended that the employees of
First National shall continue to be employees of First
National with no change in employment solely as a
result of the transactions contemplated herein;
provided, nothing herein shall be interpreted as
creating a contractual or other right to continued
employment of an employee subsequent to the Closing
Date. It is the intent of AMBANC that, after the
Effective Time, the active employees of First National
will be added to and become part of the AMBANC employee
<PAGE>
<PAGE> A-57
benefits plans and receive employee benefits (including
without limitation, pension benefits, health insurance,
long-term disability coverage and life insurance
coverage) that are no less favorable than those
generally available to employees at AMBANC and its
subsidiaries. In that event, individuals who are
actively employed by First National on the Closing Date
shall be given full credit for all purposes under any
and all employee benefit plans, programs or policies
maintained or hereafter established by AMBANC for prior
years of employment with First National.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, it is
the intention of AMBANC that the employees of First
National as a group will suffer no material net loss in
the value of the total employee benefits package
currently enjoyed by them by reason of the Holding
Company Merger.
SECTION 5.08. FURTHER MATTERS. Neither AMBANC
nor any of its subsidiaries shall, without the prior
written consent of Robinson, engage in any transaction
or take any action that would render untrue in any
material respect any of the representations and
warranties of AMBANC contained in Article Three hereof
if such representations and warranties were given as of
the date of such transaction or action. AMBANC shall
promptly notify Robinson in writing of the occurrence
<PAGE>
<PAGE> A-58
of any matter or event known to and involving AMBANC or
any of its subsidiaries that is materially adverse to
the business, operations, properties, assets, or
condition (financial or otherwise) of AMBANC or its
subsidiaries taken as a whole.

However, it is understood that a request for additional
information or undertaking by AMBANC, as a condition

accepts such undertaking. In the event an application
is denied subject to the right of an appeal, petition
for review, or similar such act on the part of AMBANC

day prior to the Closing Date, shall be greater than

the contrary, AMBANC may not terminate this Agreement
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence if the
price of AMBANC Common, as calculated pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence, has increased to a

the public announcement of an unrelated third party's
intention to acquire AMBANC.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as
follows:
ARTICLE ONE
THE HOLDING COMPANY MERGER
SECTION 1.01. THE HOLDING COMPANY MERGER.
Pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Merger
Agreement and the Illinois Bank Holding Company Act of
1957, the Illinois Business Corporation Act of 1993
("Illinois Law"), and the Indiana Business Corporation
<PAGE> A-80
Law ("Indiana Law") (referred to herein collectively as
the "Acts"), Robinson shall merge with and into FRB

Company Merger shall be effective upon the later to
occur of (i) the filing of this Merger Agreement in the
Office of the Indiana Secretary of State, or (ii) the
filing of this Merger Agreement in the Office of the
Illinois Secretary of State (the "Effective Time").
SECTION 1.02. MERGING CORPORATION. Robinson

Company Merger and its corporate identity and
existence, separate and apart from FRB Corp., shall
cease on consummation of the Holding Company Merger.
SECTION 1.03. SURVIVING CORPORATION. FRB Corp.

Company Merger and the Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws of FRB Corp. in effect prior to the Holding
Company Merger shall be the Articles of Incorporation

ARTICLE TWO
TERMS OF THE HOLDING COMPANY MERGER
AND CONVERSION OF SHARES
SECTION 2.01. EFFECT OF THE HOLDING COMPANY
MERGER. The Holding Company Merger shall have all of
the effects provided by the Acts.
SECTION 2.02. CONVERSION OF SHARES.
(a) At the Effective Time, each share of common
stock, no par value, of Robinson (the "Robinson
Common") issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time, other than shares the holders of
<PAGE> A-81
which have duly exercised and perfected their
dissenters' rights under the Acts, by virtue of the
Holding Company Merger and without any action on the
part of the holders thereof, shall be converted into
the right to receive 5.3398 shares of AMBANC Common
Stock, $10.00 par value per share (the "AMBANC Common),
subject to Section 2.03 regarding the payment of cash
in lieu of fractional shares (the "Merger
Consideration").
(b) At the Effective Time, each holder of any
certificate or certificates which immediately prior to
the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of
Robinson Common (the "Certificates") shall thereafter
cease to have any rights with respect to such shares,
except the right of such holders to receive, without
interest, the Merger Consideration upon the surrender
of such Certificate or Certificates in accordance with
Section 2.04.
(c) If between the date of the Agreement and Plan
of Merger and the Effective Time a share of AMBANC
Common shall be changed into a different number of
shares of AMBANC Common or a different class of shares
by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization or
split-up or if a stock dividend thereon shall be
declared with a record date within such period, then
the number of shares of AMBANC Common into which a
share of Robinson Common shall be converted pursuant to
subsection (a) above shall be appropriately and
proportionately adjusted so that each shareholder of
Robinson shall be entitled to receive such number of
shares of AMBANC Common as such shareholder would have
received pursuant to such reclassification,
recapitalization, or split up or as a result of such
stock dividend had the record date therefor been
<PAGE> A-82
immediately following the Effective Time of the Holding
Company Merger.
(d) If any holders of Robinson Common dissent
from the Holding Company Merger and demand appraisal of
their shares under Illinois Law, any issued and
outstanding shares of Robinson Common held by such
dissenting holders shall not be converted as described
in this Section 2.02 but shall from and after the
Effective Time represent only the right to receive such
consideration as may be determined to be due to such
dissenting holder pursuant to Illinois Law; provided,
however, that each share of Robinson Common outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a
dissenting holder who shall, after the Effective Time,
withdraw his or her demand for appraisal or lose his or
her right of appraisal shall have only such rights
provided under the Illinois Law.
SECTION 2.03. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional
shares of AMBANC Common shall be issued and, in lieu
thereof, holders of shares of Robinson Common who would
otherwise be entitled to a fractional share interest
(after taking into account all shares of Robinson
Common held by such holder) shall be paid an amount in
cash equal to the product of such fractional share
interest multiplied by $32.00.
SECTION 2.04. EXCHANGE PROCEDURES; SURRENDER OF
CERTIFICATES.
(a) Bank One, N.A., Indianapolis, shall act as
Exchange Agent in the Holding Company Merger (the
"Exchange Agent"). Prior to the Effective Time, AMBANC
shall deliver to Robinson for its review a copy of any
agreement or agreements
<PAGE> A-83
pursuant to which the Exchange Agent agrees to serve as
such.
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the
Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each
record holder of any Certificate or Certificates whose
shares were converted into the right to receive the
Merger Consideration a letter of transmittal (which
shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk
of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only
upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the
Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such
other provisions as AMBANC may reasonably specify)
(each such letter, the "Merger Letter of Transmittal")
and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of
the Certificates in exchange for the Merger
Consideration. As soon as reasonably practical after
surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate,
together with a Merger Letter of Transmittal duly
executed and any other required documents, the Exchange
Agent shall transmit to the holder of such Certificate
the Merger Consideration. No interest on the Merger
Consideration issuable upon the surrender of the
Certificates shall be paid or accrued for the benefit
of holders of Certificates. If the Merger Consideration
is to be issued to a person other than a person in
whose name a surrendered Certificate is registered, it
shall be a condition of issuance that the surrendered
Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in
proper form for transfer and that the person requesting
such issuance shall pay to the Exchange Agent any
required transfer or other taxes or establish to the
satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has
been paid or is not applicable. AMBANC reserves the
right in all cases involving more than twenty-five (25)
shares of Robinson Common to require that a surety bond
<PAGE> A-84
on terms and in an amount satisfactory to AMBANC be
provided to AMBANC at the expense of the Robinson
shareholder in the event that such shareholder claims
loss of a Certificate for Robinson Common and requests
that AMBANC waive the requirement for surrender of such
Certificate.
(c) No dividends that are otherwise payable on
shares of AMBANC Common constituting the Merger
Consideration shall be paid to persons entitled to
receive such shares of AMBANC Common until such persons
surrender their Certificates. Upon such surrender,
there shall be paid to the person in whose name the
shares of AMBANC Common shall be issued any dividends
which shall have become payable with respect to such
shares of AMBANC Common (without interest and less the
amount of taxes, if any, which may have been imposed
thereon) between the Effective Time and the time of
such surrender.
ARTICLE THREE
AMENDMENT; TERMINATION; ASSIGNMENT
SECTION 3.01. AMENDMENT. At any time prior to
the Effective Time, the parties to this Agreement by
mutual written agreement authorized by their respective
Boards of Directors (and whether before or after the
shareholders of FRB and Robinson have approved and
adopted this Agreement) may amend this Agreement;
provided, however, that if the shareholders of FRB and
Robinson have approved and adopted this Agreement, any
such amendment shall not have a material adverse effect
on the shareholders of Robinson.

corporation whomsoever. Neither this Merger Agreement
nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations
hereunder shall be assigned or transferred by operation
of law or otherwise by either of the parties hereto
without the prior written consent of the other party.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have
executed this Merger Agreement as of the day and year

LEGAL OPINION OF HINSHAW & CULBERTSON
<PAGE>
<PAGE> A-88
[HINSHAW & CULBERTSON LETTERHEAD]
, 1995
AMBANC Corp.
302 Main Street
Vincennes, Indiana 47591
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for First Robinson
Bancorp, an Illinois corporation ("Robinson") and The
First National Bank in Robinson, a national banking
association ("First National"), in connection with the
Amended Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization
dated June 19, 1995 (the "Agreement of Merger"), among
Robinson, AMBANC Corp., an Indiana corporation
("AMBANC"), FRB Corp., an Indiana corporation, and
Farmers State Bank of Palestine, an Illinois state-
chartered commercial bank, and the Merger Agreement
dated June 19, 1995 (the "Merger Agreement"), between
Robinson and FRB Corp., and joined in by AMBANC (the
Agreement of Merger and the Merger Agreement are
referred to collectively herein as the "Agreements").
This opinion is being delivered to you pursuant to
Section 1.07(a) of the Agreement of Merger. Terms used
herein that are defined in the Agreements shall have
the meaning set forth therein unless otherwise defined
herein.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined
the Agreements, the Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws of Robinson, the Charter and Bylaws of The First
National Bank in Robinson ("First National"), officers'
certificates, and such other corporate documents and
records of Robinson and First National and public
documents and records as we have deemed necessary or
appropriate for this opinion. As to questions of fact
material to our opinion, we have relied upon
representations of (a) officers of Robinson and First
National, and (b) public officials, none of which
representations has been independently verified by us.
In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of
all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons,
the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals and conformity to the original documents of
all documents submitted to us as certified or
photostatic copies, the authenticity of the originals
of the latter documents, and the due authorization,
execution and delivery of all documents by parties
other than Robinson and First National.
<PAGE> A-89
Based solely on the foregoing and subject to the
assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth
herein, we are of the opinion that:
1. Robinson is a corporation duly incorporated
and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Illinois, and First National is a national banking
association duly organized and in good standing under
the laws of the United States of America. Robinson and
First National each have all requisite corporate power
and authority and all licenses, permits, and
authorizations necessary to own and operate its
properties and assets, to incur all of its liabilities,
and to carry on its business as it now is being
conducted. Robinson and First National have all
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into
the Agreements and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the Agreements.
2. To the best of our knowledge after due
inquiry, Robinson holds all of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of First National
free and clear of any claims, liens, pledges and other
encumbrances.
3. All corporate acts and other proceedings
required to be taken by Robinson and First National to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
the Agreements have been duly taken. The Agreements
have been duly executed and delivered by Robinson and
First National and constitute legal, valid, and binding
obligations of Robinson and First National enforceable
against Robinson and First National in accordance with
their terms, subject to the provisions of bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium, or similar laws affecting the
enforceability of creditors' rights generally from time
to time in effect and equitable principles relating to
the granting of specific performance and other
equitable remedies as a matter of judicial discretion.
4. To the best of our knowledge after due
inquiry, neither the execution and the delivery by
Robinson and First National of the Agreements nor the
consummation of the transaction contemplated by the
Agreement will constitute a default under or a material
violation of any provision of, nor will the
consummation of the transaction contemplated by the

<PAGE> A-93
[LEAGRE & BARNES LETTERHEAD]
, 1995
First Robinson Bancorp
300 West Main Street
Robinson, Illinois 62454
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for AMBANC Corp., an
Indiana corporation ("AMBANC"), and Farmers' State Bank
of Palestine, an Illinois state-chartered commercial
bank ("Farmers'"), in connection with the Agreement of
Merger and Plan of Reorganization dated June 19, 1995
(the "Agreement of Merger"), among First Robinson
Bancorp, an Illinois corporation ("Robinson"), AMBANC,
FRB Corp., an Indiana corporation, The First National
Bank in Robinson, a national banking association, and
Farmers, and the Merger Agreement dated June 19, 1995
("the Merger Agreement") between Robinson and FRB Corp.
and joined in by AMBANC (the Agreement of Merger and
the Merger Agreement are referred to collectively
herein as the "Agreements"). This opinion is being
delivered to you pursuant to Section 1.07(b) of the
Agreement of Merger. Terms used herein that are
defined in the Agreements shall have the meaning set
forth therein unless otherwise defined herein.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined
and relied upon the Agreements, the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of AMBANC and FRB Corp. and
the Charter and Bylaws of Farmers', officers'
certificates, and such other corporate documents and
records of AMBANC, FRB Corp., and Farmers' and public
documents and records as we have deemed necessary or
appropriate for this opinion. As to questions of fact
material to our opinion, we have relied upon
representations of offices of AMBANC and Farmers', and
public officials, none of which representations have
been independently verified by us. In our examination,
we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of
all documents submitted to us as originals and
conformity to the original documents of all documents
submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, the
authenticity of the originals of the latter documents,
and the due authorization, execution and delivery of
all documents by parties other than AMBANC, FRB Corp.,
and Farmers'.
<PAGE> A-94
Based solely on the foregoing and subject to the
assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth
herein, we are of the opinion that:
1. AMBANC is a corporation duly incorporated and
validly existing under the laws of the State of
Indiana, FRB Corp. is a corporation duly incorporated
and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Indiana, and Farmers' is a commercial banking
corporation duly incorporated and validly existing
under the laws of the State of Illinois. AMBANC, FRB
Corp. and Farmers' each has all requisite corporate
power and authority and all licenses, permits, and
authorizations necessary to own and operate its
properties and assets, to incur all of its liabilities,
and to carry on its business as it is now being
conducted. AMBANC, FRB Corp. and Farmers' each has all
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into
the Agreements, to merge Farmers' with First National
and to merge FRB Corp. with Robinson in accordance with
the terms of the Agreements, and to consummate the
transactions contemplated by the Agreements.
2. To the best of our knowledge after due
inquiry, AMBANC holds all of the issued and outstanding
shares of capital stock of FRB Corp., and Farmers' free
and clear of any claims, liens, pledges and other
encumbrances.
3. All corporate acts and other proceedings
required to be taken by AMBANC, FRB Corp. and Farmers'
to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
the Agreements have been duly taken. The Agreements
have been duly executed and delivered by AMBANC, FRB
Corp. and Farmers' and constitute legal, valid, and
binding obligations of each of AMBANC, FRB Corp. and
Farmers' enforceable against each in accordance with
their terms, subject to the provisions of bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium, or similar laws affecting the
enforceability of creditors' rights generally from time
to time in effect and equitable principles relating to
the granting of specific performance and other
equitable remedies as a matter of judicial discretion.
4. Each of AMBANC's subsidiaries is duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the corporate
power to own its respective properties and assets, to
incur its respective liabilities and to carry on its
respective business as now being conducted.
5. To the best of our knowledge after due
inquiry, neither the execution and the delivery by
AMBANC, FRB Corp. or Farmers' of the Agreements nor the
<PAGE> A-95
consummation of the transaction contemplated by the
Agreements will constitute a default under or a
material violation of any provision of, nor will the
consummation of the transaction contemplated by the
Agreements afford any party a right to accelerate any
indebtedness under, the Articles of Incorporation or
Bylaws of AMBANC or FRB Corp., any material promissory
note, indenture or other evidence of indebtedness or
security therefor, or any material lease, contract, or
other commitment or agreement to which AMBANC, FRB
Corp., or Farmers' is a party or by which either
AMBANC, FRB Corp., or Farmers' or its property is
bound, any statute, regulation, or rules, or any
judgment, order, or decree against AMBANC, FRB Corp.,
or Farmers'.
6. Except as set forth in the Agreements and to
the best of our knowledge after due inquiry, no
consent, approval, order or authorization of, or
registration, declaration or filing with or notice to
any court, administrative agency, or commission or
other governmental authority or instrumentality,
domestic or foreign, or any other governmental entity
or entities is required to be obtained or made by
AMBANC, FRB Corp., or Farmers' in connection with the
execution and delivery of the Agreements or the
consummation by AMBANC, FRB Corp., or Farmers' of the
transaction contemplated by the Agreement.
7. AMBANC's authorized capital stock consists of
5,000,000 shares of common stock, $10 par value per
share ("AMBANC Common"), and 200,000 shares of
preferred stock, no par value. To the best of our
knowledge after due inquiry, shares of AMBANC
Common are issued and outstanding, and no shares of
preferred stock have been issued.
8. The shares of AMBANC Common that are to be
issued to the security holders of Robinson pursuant to
the Holding Company Merger have been duly authorized
and, when so issued in accordance with the terms of the
Agreements, will be validly issued and outstanding,
fully paid and nonassessable.
9. To the best of our knowledge after due
inquiry, there is no material litigation, claim or
other proceeding pending or threatened before any
judicial, administrative or regulatory agency or
tribunal against AMBANC or any of its subsidiaries, or
to which the property of AMBANC or any of its
subsidiaries is subject, which can reasonably be
expected to result in any material adverse change in
the financial condition, operations, or business of
AMBANC and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

limited to the laws of the State of Indiana and
Illinois, and the laws of the United States of America,
and we express no opinion with regard to the laws of
any other jurisdiction.
This opinion is solely for the benefit of the

APPENDIX B
SECTION 11.70 OF THE
ILLINOIS BUSINESS CORPORATION LAW
5/11.70. PROCEDURE TO DISSENT
Section 11.70. Procedure to Dissent. (a) If the
corporate action giving rise to the right to dissent is
to be approved at a meeting of shareholders, the notice
of meeting shall inform the shareholders of their right
to dissent and the procedure to dissent. If, prior to
the meeting, the corporation furnishes to the
shareholders material information with respect to the
transaction that will objectively enable a shareholder
to vote on the transaction and to determine whether or
not to exercise dissenters' rights, a shareholder may
assert dissenters' rights only if the shareholder
delivers to the corporation before the vote is taken a
written demand for payment for his or her shares if the
proposed action is consummated, and the shareholder
does not vote in favor of the proposed action.
(b) If the corporation action giving rise to the
right to dissent is not to be approved at a meeting of
shareholders, the notice to shareholders describing the
action taken under Section 11.30 or Section 7.10 shall
inform the shareholders of their right to dissent and
the procedure to dissent. If, prior to or concurrently
with the notice, the corporation furnishes to the
shareholders material information with respect to the
transaction that will objectively enable a shareholder
to determine whether or not to exercise dissenters'
rights, a shareholder may assert dissenter's rights
only if he or she delivers to the corporation within 30
days from the date of mailing the notice a written
demand for payment for his or her shares.
(c) Within 10 days after the date on which the
corporate action giving rise to the right to dissent is
effective or 30 days after the shareholder delivers to
the corporation the written demand for payment,
whichever is later, the corporation shall send each
shareholder who has delivered a written demand for
payment a statement setting forth the opinion of the
corporation as to the estimated fair value of the
shares, the corporation's latest balance sheet as of
the end of a fiscal year ending not earlier than 16
months before the delivery of the statement, together
with the statement of income for that year and the
latest available interim financial statements, and
either a commitment to pay for the shares of the
dissenting shareholder at the estimated fair value
thereof upon transmittal to the corporation of the
certificate or certificates, or other evidence of<PAGE>
<PAGE> B-2
ownership, with respect to the shares, or instructions
to the dissenting shareholder to sell his or her shares
within 10 days after delivery of the corporation's
statement to the shareholder. The corporation may
instruct the shareholder to sell only if there is a
public market for the shares at which the shares may be
readily sold. If the shareholder does not sell within
that 10 day period after being so instructed by the
corporation, for purposes of this Section the
shareholder shall be deemed to have sold his or her
shares at the average closing price of the shares, if
listed on a national exchange, or the average of the
bid and asked priced with respect to the shares quoted
by a principal market maker, if not listed on a
national exchange, during that 10 day period.
(d) A shareholder who makes written demand for
payment under this Section retains all other rights of
a shareholder until those rights are cancelled or
modified by the consummation of the proposed corporate
action. Upon consummation of that action, the
corporation shall pay to each dissenter who transmits
to the corporation the certificate or other evidence of
ownership of the shares the amount the corporation
estimates to be the fair value of the shares, plus
accrued interest, accompanied by a written explanation
of how the interest was calculated.
(e) If the shareholder does not agree with the
opinion of the corporation as to the estimated fair
value of the shares or the amount of interest due, the
shareholder, within 30 days from the delivery of the
corporation's statement of value, shall notify the
corporation in writing of the shareholder's estimated
fair value and amount of interest due and demand
payment for the difference between the shareholder's
estimate of fair value and interest due and the amount
of the payment by the corporation or the proceeds of
sale by the shareholder, whichever is applicable
because of the procedure for which the corporation
opted pursuant to subsection (c).
(f) If, within 60 days from delivery to the
corporation of the shareholder notification of estimate
of fair value of the shares and interest due, the
corporation and the dissenting shareholder have not
agreed in writing upon the fair value of the shares and
interest due, the corporation shall either pay the
difference in value demanded by the shareholder, with
interest, or file a petition in the circuit court of
the county in which either the registered office or the
principal office of the corporation is located,
requesting the court to determine the fair value of the
shares and interest due. The corporation shall make
all dissenters, whether or not residents of this State,<PAGE>
<PAGE> B-3
whose demands remain unsettled parties to the
proceeding as an action against their shares and all
parties shall be served with a copy of the petition.
Nonresidents may be served by registered or certified
mail or by publication as provided by law. Failure of
the corporation to commence an action pursuant to this
Section shall not limit or affect the right of the
dissenting shareholders to otherwise commence an action
as permitted by law.
(g) The jurisdiction of the court in which the
proceeding is commenced under subsection (f) by a
corporation is plenary and exclusive. The court may
appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive
evidence and recommend decision on the question of fair
value. The appraisers have the power described in the
order appointing them, or in any amendment to it.
(h) Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding
is entitled to judgment for the amount, if any, by
which the court finds that the fair value of his or her
shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by the
corporation or the proceeds of sale by the shareholder,
whichever amount is applicable.
(i) The court, in a proceeding commenced under
subsection (f), shall determine all costs of the
proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and
expenses of the appraisers, if any, appointed by the
court under subsection (g), but shall exclude the fees
and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective
parties. If the fair value of the shares as determined
by the court materially exceeds the amount which the
corporation estimated to be the fair value of the
shares or if no estimate was made in accordance with
subsection (c), then all or any part of the costs may
be assessed against the corporation. If the amount
which any dissenter estimated to be the fair value of
the shares materially exceeds the fair value of the
shares as determined by the court, then all or any part
of the costs may be assessed against that dissenter.
The court may also assess the fees and expenses of
counsel and experts for the respective parties, in
amounts the court finds equitable, as follows:
(1) Against the corporation
and in favor of any or
all dissenters if the
court finds that the
corporation did not
substantially comply with
the requirements of
subsections (a), (b),
(c), (d), or (f).
<PAGE>
<PAGE> B-3
(2) Against either the
corporation or a
dissenter and in favor of
any other party if the
court finds that the
party against whom the
fees and expenses are
assessed acted
arbitrarily, vexatiously,
or not in good faith with
respect to the rights
provided by this Section.
If the court finds that the services of counsel
for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to other
dissenters similarly situated and that the fees for
those services should not be assessed against the
corporation, the court may award to that counsel
reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded
to the dissenters who are benefited. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section, the practice,
procedure, judgment and costs shall be governed by the
Code of Civil Procedure.
(j) As used in this Section:
(1) "Fair value", with
respect to a dissenter's
shares, means the value
of the shares immediately
before the consummation
of the corporate action
to which the dissenter
objects excluding any
appreciation or
depreciation in
anticipation of the
corporate action, unless
exclusion would be
inequitable.
(2) "Interest" means interest
from the effective date
of the corporate action
until the date of
payment, at the average
rate currently paid by
the corporation on its
principal bank loans or,
if none, at a rate that
is fair and equitable
under all the
circumstances.

[KEMPER SECURITIES, INC. LETTERHEAD]
DRAFT
July [ ], 1995
Board of Directors
First Robinson Bancorp
300 West Main Street
Robinson, Illinois 62454
Members of the Board:
We understand that First Robinson Bancorp, an
Illinois corporation ("Robinson"), and AMBANC Corp.
("AMBANC") have entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated October 11, 1994, as amended June 19, 1995
(the "Agreement"), pursuant to which Robinson will be
merged into FRB Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of
AMBANC (the "Merger"). Immediately prior to, and as an
integral part of the Merger, Farmer's State Bank of
Palestine, a wholly owned subsidiary of AMBANC, will
merge with and into First National Bank in Robinson, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Robinson. In addition,
following the Merger, FRB Corp. will be merged into
AMBANC, with the result that First National Bank of
Robinson will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
AMBANC. Pursuant to the Merger, as more fully
described in the Agreement, each of the outstanding
shares of Robinson Common Stock (the "Robinson Shares")
will be exchanged for 5.3398 (the "Exchange Ratio")
shares of common stock of AMBANC.
You have requested our opinion as to whether the
Exchange Ratio in the Merger is fair, from a financial
point of view, to the holders of the Robinson Shares,
as of the date hereof.
Kemper Securities, Inc. ("Kemper Securities"), as
part of its investment banking services, is regularly
engaged in the valuation of businesses and their
securities in connection with merger and acquisition
transactions, public offerings, private placements,
recapitalizations, and other purposes. Kemper

banks, thrifts, and their holding companies, as well as
other financial institutions. With particular regard
to our qualifications for rendering an opinion as to
the fairness, from a financial point of view, to
holders of the Robinson Shares of the Exchange Ratio in
the Merger, Kemper Securities has rendered fairness
opinions for many other significant capital
transactions involving financial institutions.
For the purposes of this fairness opinion, we
believe we are independent of Robinson and AMBANC.
Other than our service to Robinson in connection with
the Merger and fairness opinion given hereby, we have
provided no other professional services to either
Robinson or AMBANC.
In arriving at our opinion, we have, among other
things: (i) reviewed AMBANC's and Robinson's joint
Prospectus/Proxy Statement dated July [ ], 1995;
(ii) reviewed the Agreement; (iii) reviewed Robinson's
financial statements and certain internal management
reports and certain publicly available financial and
other data with respect to Robinson and AMBANC
including financial statements for recent years and
interim periods to date and certain other relevant
financial and operating data relating to AMBANC made
available to us from published sources; (iv) discussed
Robinson's history, operations, service areas,
asset/liability structure and quality, financial
condition and performance, and prospects, among other
factors, with members of Robinson's management;
(v) compared Robinson and AMBANC from a financial point
of view with certain other companies in the financial
services industry which we deemed relevant; (vi)
reviewed the reported price and trading activity for
Robinson Shares and AMBANC common stock;
(vii) reviewed the financial terms of certain recent
business combinations in the commercial banking
industry specifically; (viii) discussed the Merger and
the Agreement with Robinson's counsel; and
(ix) performed such other studies and analyses as we
considered appropriate. We have also taken into
account general economic, market, and financial
conditions as well as our experience in other
transactions, our knowledge of the commercial banking
industry, and our experience in securities valuation.

In rendering this opinion, we have relied without
independent verification upon the accuracy and
completeness of the foregoing financial and other
information. We have also assumed that there has been
no material change in Robinson's or AMBANC's assets,
financial condition, results of operations, business,
or prospects since the date of the last financial
statements made available to us for Robinson or AMBANC,
respectively. In addition, we have not made an
independent evaluation, appraisal, or physical
inspection of the assets or individual properties of
Robinson or AMBANC, nor have we been furnished with
such appraisals. Further, our opinion is based on
economic, monetary, and market conditions existing as
of the date hereof.
We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion
as an exhibit to a proxy, information, registration, or
other such statement. Further, we consent to the use
of our firm's name and references to this opinion in
such information, proxy, registration, or other such
statement, with such uses and references being subject
to our prior approval.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and such
other matters as we consider relevant, it is our
opinion as of the date hereof that the Exchange Ratio
in the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view,
to holders of the Robinson Shares.
Sincerely,

ITEM 1.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Effective June 1, 1994, AMBANC Corp. completed the
acquisition of Lincolnland Bancshares, Inc. of Casey,
Illinois (LBI). The acquisition, which has been accounted
for as a pooling of interests, involved the issuance of
542,464 shares of AMBANC Corp. common stock in exchange
for the 160,000 shares of outstanding common stock of LBI.
No fractional shares were issued and AMBANC Corp. paid $4
for 126 equivalent fractional shares and issued 542,338
common shares in the LBI acquisition. At the conclusion
of the acquisition, LBI was merged into AMBANC Corp. and
its wholly owned subsidiary, Bank of Casey, Casey,
Illinois, an Illinois State-Chartered banking association,
became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of AMBANC Corp.
The balance sheet at December 31, 1994, and the statement
of income and statement of cash flow for the three months
ended March 31, 1994, represent the retroactive
restatement, under the pooling of interests basis, of
information for LBI and the previous AMBANC Corp. The
following page presents the consolidated three month
income statement for the previous AMBANC Corp. and LBI
at March 31, 1994.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
The Consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1995,
consolidated statements of income for the three month
period ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
consolidated statements of cash flows for the three month
period ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, have been
prepared by the Corporation, without audit. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the financial position, results of operations and changes
in cash flows at March 31, 1995, and all periods
presented, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Corporation's December 31, 1994, annual report to
shareholders. The results of operations for the period
ended March 31, 1995, are not necessarily indicative
of the operating results for the full year.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the
business, there are no material pending legal proceedings
to which the Corporation or its subsidiaries are a party
or of which any of their property is the subject.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 1995
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)
ITEM 2.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net interest income is the principal source of the
Corporation's earnings and represents the difference
between interest income on loans and securities over
interest costs of deposits and borrowed funds. Income
from certain earning assets is exempt from federal income
tax and as customary in the banking industry, changes in
net interest income are analyzed on a fully tax equivalent
basis. Under this method, and throughout this discussion,
nontaxable income on loans and investments is adjusted to
an amount which represents the equivalent earnings if such
earnings were subject to federal tax. The marginal tax
rate used to restate nontaxable income was 34%.
Three Months Ended
March 31, Increase
1995 1994 (Decrease)
Interest income $ 9,515 $ 8,305 14.57 %
Adjusted for tax
exempt income 320 331 (3.32)
Tax equivalent
interest income 9,835 $ 8,636 13.88
Interest expense 4,363 3,666 19.01
Net interest income $ 5,472 $ 4,970 10.10 %
Net interest income increased $502 or 10.10% for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1994. This $502 increase is a
combination of a $1,199 increase in interest income and a
$697 increase in interest expense. The $1,199 increase in
interest income is composed of a reduction of $5 due to
decreased volume of average interest earning assets and a
increase of $1,204 due to increased rates received on these

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 1995
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)
interest earning assets. The $697 increase in interest expense
is a combination of an increase of $39 due to increased volume
of average interest bearing liabilities and an increase of
$658 due to rate increases on these interest bearing
liabilities.
Net interest margin was 4.59% during the first three months of
1995 and 4.16% for the first three months of 1994. The
Corporation's percent of average earning assets to total average
assets decreased to 94.40% for the first three months of 1995
from 95.02% for the first three months of 1994. The yields on
average interest earning assets have increased to 8.24% for the
first three months of 1995 from 7.24% for the first three months
of 1994 for an increase of 1.00%. The costs on average interest
bearing liabilities have also increased to 4.26% for the first
three months of 1995 from 3.62% for the first three months of
1994 for an increase of .64%. This leaves the interest spread
which is the mathematical difference between yields on average
interest bearing assets and costs on average interest bearing
liabilities at 3.98% for the first three months of 1995 compared
to 3.62% for the first three months of 1994.
The provision for loan loss was $75 during the first three months
of 1995 compared to $50 during the first three months of 1994.
The allowance for loan loss at March 31, 1995, was $3,955 or
1.15% of total loans less unearned income as compared to $3,911
or 1.22% of total loans less unearned income at December 31,
1994. During the first three months of 1995, loans charged off
were $94 and recoveries from previously written off loans were
$63, thus net charge offs for the first quarter of 1995 were $31.
The adequacy of the allowance for loan loss is analyzed by
management of each bank subsidiary based upon review of
identified loans with more than a normal degree of risk,
historical loan loss percentage by type of loan and present and
forecasted economic conditions. Management's analysis indicates
that the allowance for loan loss at March 31, 1995, is adequate
to cover potential losses on identified loans with credit

problems and historical losses on the remaining loan portfolio.
The following are ratios of the different types of problem loans
as a percent of total loans less unearned income at March 31,
1995, and December 31, 1994:
March 31, 1995 December 31, 1994
Nonaccrual loans .26% .18%
Loans past due 90 days .04% .20%
Performing restructured loans .14% .15%
OREO .12% .14%
Noninterest income for the first three months ended March 31,
1995, was down $84 or 12.12% to $609 as compared to $693 for the
three months ended March 31, 1994. Income from fiduciary
services was down by $19 or 15.83% to $101 in 1995 from $120 in
1994 and was the result of decreased fees on trust accounts
managed. Service charges on deposit accounts were up by $44 or
17.25% to $299 in 1995 from $255 in 1994 due to new and increased
fees on deposit accounts. The Corporation sold no securities
from securities available for sale during the first quarter of
1995. Other operating income decreased $114 or 35.29% to $209
during the three months ended March 31, 1995, from $323 during
the same three months in 1994. This $114 decrease is mainly due
to decreases in insurance commission income and the reduction of
gain on sales of loans held for sale less a small increase in
customer service charges. During the first quarter of 1994
mortgage rates were increasing and the Corporation sold $18,146
of the conforming fixed rate mortgage loans, classified as loans
held for sale on the balance sheet, into the secondary mortgage
market and other operating income included $146 related to gains
from these sales. Mortgage rates have increased to the point
that variable rate mortgage loans, classified as real estate
loans on the balance sheet, are replacing fixed rate mortgage
loans as the most popular mortgage type. During the first
quarter of 1995 the Corporation sold $2,563 of these fixed rate
mortgage loans and had gains of $32. The servicing rights on
more than 95% of sold fixed rate loans are retained by the
Corporation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 1995
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)
Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1995,
was $3,719 as compared to $3,521 for the three months ended March
31, 1994, for an increase of $198 or 5.62%. Salaries and
employee benefits are the largest portion of noninterest expense
and increased $196 or 10.95% in the first three months of 1995
compared to the same time period in 1994. Individual components
showed increases in salaries, pension expense and medical
insurance less reductions in payroll taxes, education and life
insurance. Occupancy expense is up $13 or 6.50% to $213 in 1995
from $200 in 1994 and is due mainly to increased depreciation,
building repairs and maintenance and utilities less a decrease in
property insurance expense. Equipment expense is up by $14 or
7.14% to $210 in 1995 from $196 in 1994 due mainly to increases
in depreciation and contract expense related to new branches.
Data processing expense decreased $20 or 18.18% to $90 in 1995
from $110 in 1994 and is due to a reduction in depreciation and
continued efficiencies resulting from consolidating operations.
The FDIC insurance expense remained almost constant with only a
$3 or 1.19% increase which is due to increased deposit balances.
The Corporation's subsidiary banks have all been assigned the
highest classification by the FDIC and as such continue to pay
the lowest possible FDIC deposit insurance rates in both 1995 and
1994. The deposits purchased from a federal savings bank (see
financial condition for details) will remain subject to the SAIF
rather than BIF deposit insurance rates. The $8 or .82% decrease
in other operating expenses to $964 in 1995 from $972 in 1994 is
due to many minor increases and decreases.
Income before income taxes was up $206 or 11.70% to $1,967 for
the first three months of 1995 from $1,761 for the first three
months of 1994. The income tax rate as a percent of income
before taxes was down to 28.32% in 1995 from 29.81% in 1994 and
is due in part to the Corporation having more expenses related to
mergers in 1994 than in 1995 which are nondeductible for income
tax purposes. The net income for the first three months ended
March 31, 1995, was up $174 or 14.08% to $1,410 as compared to
$1,236 for the three months ended March 31, 1994. Earnings per
share were $.59 in 1995 and were $.52 in 1994. Based upon
annualized net income the return on average assets was 1.12% for
the first three months of 1995 compared to .98% for the same
period in 1994.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 1995
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Corporation's lead bank, The American National Bank of
Vincennes, completed the purchase of $25,462 of deposits from the
Princeton, Indiana branch of First Indiana Bank, a Federal
Savings Bank, on March 17, 1995. The Corporation has
historically had a decrease in total assets during the first
quarter due to the year end total assets including institutional
public funds on deposit that are not in the first quarters
deposits. With these purchased deposits, total assets increased
by $16,587 or 3.21% to $532,683 at March 31, 1995, from $516,096
at December 31, 1994. Significant changes in assets from
December 31, 1994, to March 31, 1995, include an increase in
total loans and a decrease in securities and interest bearing
deposits in other banks.
Total securities and interest bearing deposits in other banks
decreased $3,613 or 2.36% to $149,489 at March 31, 1995, from
$153,102 at December 31, 1994. The effect of FAS 115 and the
mark-to-market of securities available for sale added $1,781 to
securities available for sale during the first quarter of 1995.
The FAS 115 negative mark-to-market adjustment at December 31,
1994, was $4,746 and was only $2,965 at March 31, 1995, and is
due to the normal market adjustment when interest rates are
stabilizing. Without the FAS 115 adjustment, available for sale
securities decreased $4,045 or 3.46% from maturities and calls
and no sales during the first quarter of 1995. There were no
sales or transfers of securities classified as held to maturity
during the quarter ended March 31, 1995. Securities held to
maturity decreased $1,105 or 2.90% due to maturities or calls.
The Corporation has experienced increased loan demand and total
loans increased $21,381 or 6.66% to $342,477 at March 31, 1995,
from $321,096 at December 31, 1994. Commercial loans have
increased $16,447 or 10.28% to $176,361 at March 31, 1995, from
$159,914 at December 31, 1994. Included in this increase is
$6,947 of short-term commercial paper and bankers acceptances
that were acquired with funds from the purchased deposits.
Without these loans, commercial loans still increased $9,500 or
5.94% during the quarter. Real estate loans increased $3,846 or

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)
4.84% to $83,310 at March 31, 1995, from $79,464 at December 31,
1994. As noted previously, the renewed interest in variable rate
mortgage loans has caused this increase. Installment loans
increased $1,088 or 1.33% to $82,806 at March 31, 1995, from
$81,718 at December 31, 1994.
Accrued interest receivable and other assets increased $328 or
3.26% at March 31, 1995, from December 31, 1994. This account
does include $1,777 of new goodwill associated with the purchased
deposits.
Total deposits increased $16,851 or 3.70% during the first three
months of 1995. Noninterest bearing deposits decreased $6,359 or
12.27% from normal reductions of institutional public funds on
deposit at December 31, 1994, and not on deposit at March 31,
1995. Interest bearing deposits increased $23,210 or 5.75%
during the three months ended March 31, 1995, and is due in part
to the purchased deposits. Short-term borrowings consisting of
federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and treasury tax
and loan accounts decreased $2,273 or 39.95% at March 31, 1995,
from December 31, 1994, as funds were not required for
operations. Long-term debt, which is mainly borrowings from the
Federal Home Loan Bank that were matched off against specific
fixed rate lending programs, decreased $319 or 10.00% at March
31, 1995, from December 31, 1994, due to normal repayments.
Total shareholders' equity, including the unrealized loss on
securities available for sale, has increased $2,043 or 4.17% to
$51,080 at March 31, 1995, from $49,037 at December 31, 1994.
The FAS 115 after tax mark-to-market adjustment on the available
for sale securities accounted for $1,118 or 2.28% of this
increase in total shareholders' equity at March 31, 1995, from
December 31, 1994. The Corporation's regulators have issued
guidelines stating that the unrealized loss on securities
available for sale, other than those related to mutual funds (FAS
115 adjustments), should not be included in shareholders' equity
for capital ratio calculations. Total shareholders' equity,
excluding the FAS 115 adjustments, was $51,952 at December 31,
1994, and increased $933 or 1.80% to $52,885 at March 31, 1995.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 1995
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)
This increase is net income of $1,410 less dividends paid of $497
plus $8 related to increased mark-to-market on mutual funds and
$12 related to sales of the Corporation's common stock for the
dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan.
Capital adequacy in the banking industry is evaluated primarily
by the use of three required capital ratios based on three
separate calculations; leverage capital, Tier 1 risk-based
capital and total risk-based capital. The leverage capital ratio
is defined as total ending Tier 1 capital divided by total
average assets less intangible assets and FAS 115 adjustments.
Tier 1 risk-based capital is defined as Tier 1 capital divided by
risk-weighted assets. Total risk-based capital is defined as
Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital divided by risk-weighted
assets. Tier 1 capital is the sum of the core capital elements
(common shareholders' equity, qualifying perpetual preferred
stock and minority interest in the equity accounts of
consolidated subsidiaries) less intangible assets and the FAS 115
adjustments. Tier 2 capital consists of the allowance for loan
losses (limited to an maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets),
perpetual preferred stock and other hybrid capital instruments.
Risk-weighted assets are defined to include the assets on the
balance sheet and off-balance sheet financial instruments in
broad categories that are weighted at 20% to 100% depending on
the asset totals within these broad categories. The
Corporation's capital ratios at March 31, 1995, and December 31,
1994 were:

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 20. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
Under the Indiana Business Corporation Law and Article IV of AMBANC's
Restated Bylaws, AMBANC's officers, Directors, and employees are entitled
to indemnification against all liability and expense with respect to any
civil or criminal claim, action, suit or proceeding in which they are
wholly successful. If they are not wholly successful and even if they are
adjudged liable or guilty, they are entitled to indemnification if it is
determined, with respect to a civil action, by disinterested Directors, a
special legal counsel, or a majority vote of the shares of AMBANC's voting
stock held by disinterested shareholders, that they acted in good faith in
what they reasonably believed to be the best interests of AMBANC. With
respect to any criminal action, it must also be determined that they had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct unlawful.
Under the Indiana Business Corporation Law, a Director of AMBANC
cannot be held liable for actions that do not constitute wilful misconduct
or recklessness. In addition, the Articles of Incorporation of AMBANC
provide that Directors of AMBANC shall be immune from personal liability
for any action taken as a Director, or any failure to take any action, to
the fullest extent permitted by the applicable provisions of the Indiana
Business Corporation Law from time to time in effect and by general
principles of corporate law. In addition, a Director of AMBANC against
whom a shareholders' derivative suit has been filed cannot be held liable
if a committee of disinterested Directors of AMBANC, after a good faith
investigation, determines either that the shareholder has no right or
remedy or that pursuit of that right or remedy will not serve the best
interests of AMBANC.
At present, there are no claims, actions, suits or proceedings pending
where indemnification would be required under the above, and AMBANC does
not know of any threatened claims, actions, suits or proceedings which may
result in a request for such indemnification.
In addition, officers and Directors of AMBANC are entitled to
indemnification under an insurance policy of AMBANC for expenditures
incurred by them in connection with certain acts in their capacities as
such, and providing reimbursement to AMBANC for expenditures in
indemnifying such Directors and officers for such acts. The maximum
aggregate coverage for AMBANC and insured individuals is $ per
policy year, with the policies subject to self-retention and deductible
provisions.
Item 21. Exhibits and Financial Statement.
The exhibits described in the Exhibit List immediately following the
"Signatures" page of this Registration Statement (which Exhibit List is
incorporated by reference) is hereby filed as part of this Registration
Statement.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> II-2
Item 22. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior
to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use
of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any
person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of
Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will
contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with
respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in
addition to the information called for by the other Items of the applicable
form.
The registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is filed
pursuant to the paragraph immediately proceeding, or (ii) that purports to
meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in
connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be
filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not
be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to Directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a Director,
officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such Director, officer,
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and
Robinson being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the Registration Statement when it became effective.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests
for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus
pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day
of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first
class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information
contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the
registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> II-3
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(4) If the registrant is a foreign private issuer, to file a
post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any
financial statements required by Rule 3-19 of Regulation S-X at the start
of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-4
Dear Sirs:
In connection with a certain Registration Statement on Form
S-4 (the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, you have requested that we furnish you our opinion as
to the legality of the shares of the common stock, $10.00 par value
(the "Common Stock"), of AMBANC Corp. (the "Company") registered
thereunder, which Common Stock is to be issued pursuant to an
Amended Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, dated
June 19, 1995, among the Company, First Robinson Bancorp, FRB
Corp., The First National Bank in Robinson, and Farmers' State Bank
of Palestine (the "Merger Agreement").
As counsel to the Company, we have participated in the
preparation of the Registration Statement. We have examined and
are familiar with the Company's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws,
as amended, records of corporate proceedings and such other
information and documents as we have deemed necessary or
appropriate.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
Common Stock has been duly authorized and will, when issued as
contemplated in the Registration Statement and the Merger
Agreement, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Leagre & Barnes

SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made and entered into as of this
20th day of June, 1989, by and between Robert G.
Watson, Jr. (the "Employee"), The American National
Bank of Vincennes, a national banking association with
its principal office in Vincennes, Indiana (the
"Bank"), and AMBANC Corp. (the "Company"), an Indiana
corporation that owns all of the outstanding capital
stock of the Bank. (The Company and the Bank are
collectively referred to herein as the "Employer").
ARTICLE I
Recitals
The Employer, in recognition of the invaluable
contribution of the Employee's services to its success,
and in recognition of the Employee's considerable and
unique knowledge and experience relating to its
business, affairs and operations, desires and believes
it to be in its best interest and the best interest of
its shareholders to secure the continuation of the
Employee's services as an employee of the Employer. To
induce the Employee to continue to serve as an employee
of the Employer, the Employer desires to provide the
Employee additional compensation in the event of the <PAGE>
<PAGE>2
termination of his employment with both the Company and
the Bank for a reason other than his death. In
consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the Employee and the Employer
hereby enter into this Agreement and agree to be bound
by its terms and conditions.
ARTICLE II
Definitions
Section 2.01. Beneficiary. "Beneficiary" means
the person(s) designated in writing by the Employee to
the Employer to receive any Supplemental Retirement
Benefits that may be payable hereunder after the
Employee's death.
Section 2.02. Commencement Date. "Commencement
Date" means the date selected by the Employee pursuant
to Section 4.02 on which payment of Supplemental
Retirement Benefits to the Employee begins. The
Commencement Date shall be the first day of a month,
and shall not be earlier than the Termination Date.
Section 2.03. Qualifying Termination. "Qualifying
Termination" means termination of the Employee's
employment with both the Company and the Bank (or <PAGE>
<PAGE>3
termination of employment with the last of the two if
termination of the Employee's employment with the
Company and the Bank does not occur simultaneously) as
a result of a mutual agreement respecting such
termination between the Employer and Employee or by
reason of either the Employee's discharge, resignation,
retirement, or disability.
Section 2.04. Supplemental Retirement Benefits.
"Supplemental Retirement Benefits" means benefits
payable by the Employer to the Employee pursuant to
this Agreement either in the form of a Ten Year Certain
Annuity, a Lifetime Annuity, or a Single Sum Settlement
(all as defined herein).
Section 2.05. Termination Date. "Termination
Date" means the date and time at which the Employee's
employment with both the Company and the Bank
terminates (or the date and time at which the
Employee's employment with the last of the two
terminates if termination of the Employee's employment
with both the Company and the Bank does not occur
simultaneously) by reason of a Qualifying Termination.
If such Qualifying Termination results from the
Employee's resignation or retirement (including
resignation or retirement necessitated by the <PAGE>
<PAGE>4
Employee's disability), the Employee shall specify the
Termination Date pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof. If
such Qualifying Termination results from the Employer's
discharge of the Employee (including discharge
necessitated by the Employee's disability), the
Employer shall specify the Termination Date. If the
Employer and Employee mutually agree to a termination
of the Employee's employment, whether necessitated by
the Employee's disability or for any other reason, the
Employee shall specify the Termination Date.
ARTICLE III
Qualifying Termination
Section 3.01. The Employee is entitled to
Supplemental Retirement Benefits hereunder only if his
employment with the Employer terminates by reason of a
Qualifying Termination as defined in Section 2.03
hereof. If the Employee dies prior to the Termination
Date specified pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof in
connection with a Qualifying Termination, then the
termination of the Employee's employment with the
Employer shall be deemed to have occurred by reason of
the Employee's death rather than by reason of a
Qualifying Termination and no Supplemental Retirement <PAGE>
<PAGE>5
Benefits shall be payable to the Employee (or to his
beneficiary or successors) under this Agreement.
Section 3.02. Notice of Resignation or Retirement.
For purposes of this Agreement the Employee's
employment with the Employer shall be deemed to have
been terminated by resignation or retirement only if
the Employee submits to the Employer, during the
Employee's lifetime, a written notice, signed by the
Employee, stating his intention to resign or retire, as
applicable, and specifying therein the Termination Date
as of which such resignation or retirement shall be
effective (which date and time shall not be earlier
than the date and time such notice is received by the
Company and the Bank). Such resignation or retirement
shall be effective as of the Termination Date so
specified.
ARTICLE IV
Supplemental Retirement Benefits
Section 4.01. Ten Year Certain Annuity. Subject
to the Employee's right to elect to receive one of the
alternate forms of Supplemental Retirement Benefits set
forth in Section 4.05 hereof, upon a Qualifying
Termination, the Employee shall be entitled to receive <PAGE>
<PAGE>6
from the Employer a monthly annuity payment in an
amount determined in accordance with Sections 4.03 and
4.04 hereof payable to the Employee during his
lifetime, but in any event payable for a period of not
less than one hundred twenty (120) months (the "Ten
Year Certain Annuity"). Payment of such monthly
annuity payments to the Employee shall begin on the
Commencement Date and shall be payable on the first day
of each month thereafter during the Employee's lifetime
and, if the Employee dies prior to receiving one
hundred twenty (120) such monthly annuity payments,
continuing after the Employee's death until an
aggregate total of one hundred twenty (120) such
monthly annuity payments have been paid to the Employee
and Beneficiary (or other successor to whom such
payments are made after the Employee's death).
Section 4.02. Selection of Commencement Date.
The Employee's selection of the date on which payment
of the Ten Year Certain Annuity (or an alternate form
of benefit selected by the Employee hereunder) shall
commence shall be in writing, signed by the Employee,
and delivered to the Employer during the Employee's
lifetime and prior to the Commencement Date.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>7
Section 4.03. Amount of Ten Year Certain Annuity
Payments. The amount of each monthly annuity payment
payable to the Employee pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof
shall be determined as follows:
(a) If the Termination Date occurs after March 31,
2000, the amount of each monthly Ten Year
Certain Annuity payment shall be Four Thousand
Nine Hundred Thirty-nine Dollars ($4,939).
(b) If the Termination Date occurs prior to April
1, 2000, the amount of each monthly Ten Year
Certain Annuity payment shall be (i) Four
Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-nine Dollars
($4,939), minus (ii) the product obtained by
multiplying Thirty-three Dollars and Sixty
Cents ($33.60) times the number of months by
which the Termination Date precedes April, 2000
(including the month in which the Termination
Date occurs and excluding the month of April,
2000); subject, however, to further reduction
pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof.
Section 4.04. Reduction For Early Commencement
Date. If the Commencement Date occurs prior to May 1,
<PAGE>
<PAGE>8
2000, the amount of each monthly Ten Year Certain
Annuity payment determined pursuant to Section 4.03
shall be reduced by the sum of (a) 1/180th of such
amount for each month, up to a maximum of sixty (60)
months, by which the Commencement Date precedes May 1,
2000, plus (b) 1/360th of such amount for each month,
if any, by which the Commencement Date precedes May 1,
1995 (including in each case, as applicable, the month
in which the Commencement Date occurs).
Section 4.05. Optional Forms of Benefit. If the
Employee becomes entitled to Supplemental Retirement
Benefits, then in lieu of receiving a Ten Year Certain
Annuity the Employee may elect to receive either of the
following actuarially equivalent form of benefits:
(a) A monthly annuity payable to the Employee
during his lifetime only (without any
guaranteed minimum number of monthly payments)
(the "Lifetime Annuity"), the amount of each
such monthly payment to be an amount such that
the Lifetime Annuity will be actuarially
equivalent to the aggregate total of the Ten
Year Certain Annuity payments that would have
been payable to the Employee hereunder absent
his election to receive a Lifetime Annuity.<PAGE>
<PAGE>9
(b) A single sum payment (the "Single Sum
Settlement") in an amount that is actuarially
equivalent to the aggregate total of the Ten Year
Certain Annuity payments that would have been
payable to the Employee hereunder absent his
election to receive a Single Sum Settlement.
Section 4.06. Actuarial Assumptions. For purposes
of computing the actuarial equivalency of the optional
forms of Supplemental Retirement Benefits provided in
Section 4.05 hereof to the aggregate total of the Ten
Year Certain Annuity payments (as determined pursuant
to Sections 4.03 and 4.04 hereof) the Employee would
have been entitled to receive absent his election to
receive one of the optional forms of benefit, the
following actuarial assumptions shall be used:
(a) interest rate: eight percent (8%); and
(b) mortality experience: 1984-UP UNISEX
MORTALITY TABLE.
Section 4.07. Election of Optional Benefit Forms.
If the Employee wishes to elect one of the optional
forms of benefit payment described in Section 4.05 <PAGE>
<PAGE>10
hereof in lieu of a Ten Year Certain Annuity, the
Employee must make such election in writing on the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A and must deliver the
signed election to the Employer prior to the
Commencement Date.
Section 4.08. Payments After Employee's Death. If
the Employee will receive a Ten Year Certain Annuity or
has validly elected to receive a Single Sum Settlement
and dies prior to receiving payment of all sums due to
him hereunder, the Employer shall make the payments to
which the Employee would have been entitled to the
Employee's Beneficiary. Absent a valid beneficiary
designation, the Employer shall pay such sums to the
Employee's surviving spouse or, in the absence of a
surviving spouse, to the Employee's estate.
ARTICLE V
Miscellaneous
Section 5.01. Succession. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the legal
representatives, successors and assigns of the Employee
and the Employer. The Employer shall assign this
Agreement to any person that succeeds to all or<PAGE>
<PAGE>11
substantially all of its business and assets by merger,
consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise and with
which the Employee accepts employment, and shall obtain
the assumption hereof by such successor. In such
event, all references herein to the Employer shall be
deemed and construed to be references to such
successor, provided, however, that such assignment and
assumption shall not reduce or affect any of the
obligations of the assignor hereunder, which
obligations shall continue in full force and effect as
the obligations of a principal and not as the
obligations of a surety to the same extent as though no
assignment had been made.
Section 5.02. Legal Expenses. In the event that
the Employee or his successors institute any legal
action to enforce their rights under, or to recover
damages for breach of, this Agreement, the Employee or
his successors, if the prevailing party, shall be
entitled to recover from the Employer actual expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with
such legal action.
Section 5.03. Titles. The titles of sections
hereof are intended solely for convenience, and no<PAGE>
<PAGE>12
provision hereof is to be construed by reference to any
such title.
Section 5.04. Amendment or Modification. No
provision hereof may be amended, modified or waived
unless such amendment, modification or waiver is agreed
to in writing signed by the Employee and the Employer.
Section 5.05. Severability. In the event that any
provision or portion hereof is determined to be invalid
or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining
provisions and portions hereof shall be unaffected
thereby and shall remain in full force and effect to
the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however,
that if the remaining provisions and portions hereof
are so essentially and inseparably connected, and so
dependent upon, the provision or portion declared
invalid that they are incomplete and incapable of being
given effect without such provision or portion, then
this entire Agreement shall be deemed to be invalid and
unenforceable.
Section 5.06. No Employee Interest or Trust.
Neither anything contained herein nor any action taken
pursuant to the provisions hereof shall create or be
construed to create an interest of the Employee in any<PAGE>
<PAGE> 13
insurance or annuity policy purchased and owned by the
Employer for the purpose of paying the retirement
benefits payable hereunder, and neither anything
contained herein nor any such action shall create or be
construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary
relationship between the Employer and the Employee, his
beneficiary or any other person. Any funds that may be
set aside or invested by the Employer for the purpose
of paying the Supplemental Retirement Benefits payable
hereunder shall continue for all purposes to be a part
of the general funds of the Employer, and no person
other than the Employer shall, by virtue of the
provisions hereof, have any interest in such funds. To
the extent that any person acquires a right to receive
payments from the Employer hereunder, such right shall
be no greater than the right of any unsecured general
creditor of the Employer.
Section 5.07. Other Benefits. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to exclude the Employee from any
supplemental compensation, bonus, pension, insurance,
severance pay or other benefit to which he might
otherwise be or become entitled as an employee of the
Employer.

Section 5.08. Governing Law. This Agreement
contains the entire understanding between the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Indiana.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company, the Bank and the
Employee have executed this Agreement as of the date

<PAGE>
<PAGE>2
ARTICLE II
The Plan
Section 2.1. Name. This plan shall be known as
"The AMBANC Corp. Amended Nonqualified Stock Option
Plan."
Section 2.2. Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is
to advance the interests of the Corporation and its
shareholders by affording to executive and senior
management officers of the Corporation an opportunity
to acquire or increase their proprietary interest in
the Corporation by the grant to such officers of
Options under the terms set forth herein. By thus
encouraging such officers to become owners of
Corporation shares, the Corporation seeks to attract,
motivate, reward and retain those highly competent
individuals upon whose judgment, initiative, leadership
and efforts the success of the Corporation in large
measure has in the past depended and will in the future
depend.
Section 2.3. Effective Date. The Plan shall be
deemed adopted and shall become effective upon its
approval by the affirmative vote of the majority of the
outstanding shares of the Stock of the Corporation.
ARTICLE III
Administration
Section 3.1. Administration. The Plan shall be
administered by a Committee to be appointed by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation (the
"Committee"), which Committee shall consist of not less
than three members of the Board of Directors, all of
whom shall be disinterested persons. The term
"disinterested persons" means persons who are not at
the time of determination of that status, and who have
not been at any time within one year prior thereto,
eligible for selection as persons to whom stock may be
allocated or to whom stock options may be granted
pursuant to the Plan or any other plan of the
Corporation or any of its affiliates entitling the
participants therein to acquire stock or stock options
of the Corporation or any of its affiliates. Subject
to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee
shall have sole discretion and authority to determine
among eligible individuals those to whom and the time
or times at which Options or Stock Appreciation Rights
may be granted, the number of shares of stock to be
subject to each Option, the period during which such
Option may be exercised, and the price at which such<PAGE>
<PAGE>3
Option may be exercised, none of which need be the same
for each grant hereunder. Meetings shall be held at
such times and places as shall be determined by the
Committee. A majority of the members of the Committee
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business, and the vote of a majority of those members
present at any meeting shall decide any question
brought before the meeting. In addition, the Committee
may take any action otherwise proper under the Plan by
the affirmative vote, taken without a meeting, of a
majority of its members. No member of the Committee
shall be liable for any act or omission of any other
member of the Committee or for any act or omission on
his own part, including but not limited to the exercise
of any power or discretion given to him under the Plan,
except those resulting from his own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. All questions of interpretations
and application of the Plan or of Options granted
thereunder shall be subject to the determination, which
shall be final and binding, of a majority of the whole
Committee.
Section 3.2. Corporation Assistance. The
Corporation shall supply full and timely information to
the Committee on all matters relating to eligible
employees, their employment, death, retirement,
disability or other termination of employment, and such
other pertinent facts as the Committee may require.
The Corporation shall furnish the Committee with such
clerical and other assistance as is necessary in the
performance of its duties.
ARTICLE IV
Participants
Section 4.1. Eligibility. Executive and senior
management officers of the Corporation or of any
Subsidiary shall be eligible to participate in the
Plan. The Committee may grant Options to any eligible
individual in accordance with such determinations as
the Committee from time to time in its sole discretion
shall make.
ARTICLE V
Shares of Stock Subject to Plan
Section 5.1. Limitations. Subject to adjustment
pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.3 hereof, the
number of shares of Stock with respect to which Options
may be granted shall not exceed 26,754 shares in the
aggregate. Shares with respect to which Options may be<PAGE>
<PAGE>4
granted may be either authorized and unissued shares or
shares issued and thereafter acquired by the
Corporation.
Section 5.2. Options Granted Under Plan. Shares
of Stock with respect to which an Option granted
hereunder shall have been exercised shall not again be
available for grant hereunder. If Options granted
hereunder shall expire, terminate or be cancelled for
any reason without being wholly exercised, new Options
may be granted hereunder covering the number of shares
to which such Option expiration, termination or
cancellation relates.
Section 5.3. Antidilution. In the event that the
outstanding shares of Stock hereafter are changed into
or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares
or other securities of the Corporation or of another
corporation by reason of merger, consolidation, other
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification,
combination of shares, stock splitup or stock dividend:
(a) the aggregate number and kind of shares
subject to Options which may be granted hereunder
shall be adjusted appropriately;
(b) rights under outstanding Options granted
hereunder, both as to the number of subject shares
and the Option price, shall be adjusted
appropriately; and
(c) where dissolution or liquidation of the
Corporation or any merger or combination in which
the Corporation is not a surviving company is
involved, each outstanding Option granted hereunder
shall, subject to Section 6.9, terminate.
The foregoing adjustments and the manner of
application of the foregoing provisions shall be
determined solely by the Committee, and any such
adjustment may provide for the elimination of
fractional share interests.
ARTICLE VI
Options
Section 6.1. Option Grant and Agreement. Each
Option granted hereunder shall be evidenced by minutes
of a meeting or the written consent of at least a
majority of the members of the Committee and by a
written Stock Option Agreement dated as of the date of
grant and executed by the Corporation and the Optionee,
which Agreement shall set forth such terms and<PAGE>
<PAGE>5
conditions as may be determined by the Committee
consistent with the Plan.
Section 6.2. Option Price. The per share price of
the Stock subject to each Option shall be determined by
the Committee, and said per share price may be greater,
but shall not in any event be less, than the Fair
Market Value of the Stock on the date the Option is
granted. In addition, the price per share shall not in
any event be less than par value, unless treasury
shares are issued upon exercise of the Option, in which
case the price per share is not restricted by par
value.
Section 6.3. Option Grant and Exercise Periods.
No Option may be granted hereunder more than five years
from the effective date of the Plan, as defined in
Section 2.3. The period for exercise of each Option
shall be determined by the Committee, but in no
instance shall such period exceed ten years from the
date of grant of the Option.
Section 6.4. Option Exercise.
(a) The Corporation shall not be required to
sell or issue any shares under any Option if the
issuance of such shares shall constitute or result
in a violation by the Optionee or the Corporation
of any provisions of any law, statute or regulation
of any governmental authority. Specifically, in
connection with the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Act"), upon exercise of any Option, the
Corporation shall not be required to issue such
shares unless the Committee has received evidence
satisfactory to it to the effect that registration
under the Act and applicable state securities laws
is not required, unless the offer and sale of
securities under the Plan is registered or
qualified under the Act and applicable state laws.
Any determination in this connection by the
Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.
If shares are issued under any Option without
registration under the Act or applicable state
securities laws, the Optionee may be required to
accept the shares subject to such restrictions on
transferability as may in the reasonable judgment
of the Committee be required to comply with
exemptions from registration under such laws. The
Corporation may, but shall in no event be obligated
to, register any securities covered hereby pursuant
to the Act or applicable state securities laws.
The Corporation shall not be obligated to take any
other affirmative action in order to cause the
exercise of an Option or the issuance of shares<PAGE>
<PAGE>6
pursuant thereto to comply with any law or
regulation of any governmental authority.
(b) Subject to Section 6.4(c) and such terms
and conditions as may be determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion upon the grant of
an Option, an Option may be exercised in whole or
in part (but with respect to whole shares only) and
from time-to-time by delivering to the Corporation
at its principal office written notice of intent to
exercise the Option with respect to a specified
number of shares.
(c) Unless otherwise provided in an Option
Agreement, and except as provided in Section 6.9,
an Option granted under the Plan shall become
exercisable in installments as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Period From Date Cumulative Percent of Option
of Grant Shares that Are Exercisable
<S> <C>
Date of grant to 1 year 20%
More than 1 year to 2 years 40%
More than 2 years to 3 years 60%
More than 3 years to 4 years 80%
More than 4 years to expiration 100%
</TABLE>
The Committee shall have authority to reduce the
number of years prior to which 100 percent of the
option shares are exercisable by subtracting
therefrom the number of years the Optionee has been
employed by the Corporation. The Committee shall
in addition have authority in its discretion to
prescribe in any Option Agreement that the Option
may be exercised in different installments during
the term of the Option.
(d) Subject to such terms and conditions as may
be determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion upon grant of an Option, payment in full
for the shares to be acquired pursuant to exercise
of the Option shall be made as follows:
(1) by delivering to the Corporation at its
principal office a cashiers or certified check
payable to the order of the Corporation in the
amount of the Option price for the number of shares
of Stock with respect to which the Option is then
being exercised; or
(2) by delivering to the Corporation at its
principal office certificates representing Stock,
duly endorsed for transfer to the Corporation,<PAGE>
<PAGE>7
having an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the
date of exercise equal to the amount of the Option
price for the number of shares of Stock with
respect to which the Option is then being
exercised; or
(3) by any combination of payments delivered
pursuant to subparagraphs (d)(1) and (d)(2) above.
Section 6.5. Nontransferability of Option. No
Option shall be transferred by an Optionee otherwise
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
During the lifetime of an Optionee the Option shall be
exercisable only by the Optionee.
Section 6.6. Effect of Termination of Employment
or Death.
(a) In the event of the severance of the
employment relationship between the Corporation and
the Optionee for any reason, for or without cause,
other than death, at any time before the date of
expiration of Options held by such Optionee, such
Options shall terminate on the earlier of such date
of expiration or 30 days after the date the
Optionee ceases to be in the employ of the
Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Corporation.
(b) In the event of the death of an Optionee
before the date of expiration of Options held by
such Optionee, such Options shall terminate on the
earlier of such date of expiration or one year
following the date of death. The executor or
administrator of the estate of the Optionee or the
person or persons to whom an Option granted
hereunder shall have been validly transferred by
the executor or the administrator pursuant to will
or the laws of descent and distribution shall have
the right to exercise the Optionee's Option at any
time prior to the termination date specified in
this Section 6.6(b) to the extent that such Option
would otherwise be exercisable under the terms of
the Plan and the Optionee's Stock Option Agreement.
(c) No transfer of an Option by the Optionee by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution
shall be effective to bind the Corporation unless
the Corporation shall have been furnished with
written notice thereof and an authenticated copy of
the will and/or such other evidence as the
Corporation may deem necessary to establish the
validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the
transferee or transferees of the terms and
conditions of such Option.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>8
Section 6.7. Rights As Shareholder. An Optionee
or a transferee of an Option shall have no rights as a
shareholder with respect to any shares subject to such
Option prior to the purchase of such shares by exercise
of such Option as provided herein.
Section 6.8. Limited Rights. An Optionee shall,
within 30 days following the date on which the
Corporation obtains knowledge of and notifies an
Optionee of (a) the expiration of a tender offer or
exchange offer, other than an offer by the Corporation,
pursuant to which at least 5 percent of the
Corporation's theretofore issued and outstanding stock
has been purchased, or (b) the approval by the
shareholders of the Corporation of an agreement to
merge or consolidate the Corporation with or into
another corporation where the Corporation is not the
surviving corporation, or an agreement to sell or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the
Corporation's assets (including a plan of liquidation),
have the right (regardless of the applicability of the
limitation on the exercise of Options set forth in
Section 6.4(c) of the Plan or similar limitations in
the Option Agreement) to exercise Options then held, or
to surrender unexercised Options in exchange for a cash
amount equal to the product of (1) the number of shares
of Stock called for by the Option, or portion thereof
which is surrendered, multiplied by (2) the excess over
the exercise price of the highest price paid or to be
paid per share pursuant to an event described in
clauses (a) or (b) above as determined by the
Committee.
ARTICLE VI-A
Stock Appreciation Rights
Section 6A.1. Purpose. The purpose of this
Article VI-A is to authorize the Committee to grant
Stock Appreciation Rights to Optionees to replace the
tax offset bonuses that could have been granted
pursuant to Section 6.8 of this Plan as originally
adopted. This Article VI-A is being added to the Plan
in response to certain changes in the accounting
treatment of Options awarded together with tax offset
bonuses. Unlike tax offset bonuses, the grant,
exercise or forfeiture of Stock Appreciation Rights
authorized by this Article VI-A shall be unrelated to
the grant, exercise, or termination of Options.
Section 6A.2. Award of Stock Appreciation Rights.
The Committee may from time to time select those
management employees to whom an award of Stock<PAGE>
<PAGE>9
Appreciation Rights is to be made ("Participants").
The Committee shall determine the number and series of
Stock Appreciation Rights to be awarded to each such
Participant and shall specify the following with
respect to each award of Stock Appreciation Rights:
the effective date of such award; the base price per
share above which appreciation in the Stock will be
payable upon exercise; the percentage of price
appreciation over the base price that will be payable
upon exercise; the applicable vesting schedule, if any;
the method for calculating the amount payable; and, the
date of expiration. In no event may the number of
shares with respect to which Stock Appreciation Rights
shall have been paid or shall be outstanding exceed the
number of shares of Stock with respect to which Options
may be granted under the Plan as specified by Section
5.1, as such number may from time to time be adjusted
pursuant to the Plan. The Committee shall give written
notice of an award of Stock Appreciation Rights to a
Participant and such notice shall specify the terms of
such award.
Section 6A.3. Valuation. The value of each Stock
Appreciation Right at any time shall be equal to fifty
percent (or such other percentage as may be specified
by the Committee at the time of grant) of the excess,
if any, of:
(a) the fair market value of one share of Stock
on the date of valuation, over
(b) the base price established by the Committee
at the time of award, which may be more or less
than the fair market value of one share of Stock on
the effective date of the award of such Stock
Appreciation Right to the Participant.
The fair market value of one share of Stock shall be
the closing sale price (or, if no such sale price
information is available, the closing bid price) of one
share of Stock on the trading day preceding the date of
valuation on the principal established public
securities market for such Stock; or in the event there
is no established public securities market for the
Stock on such day, the fair market value of the Stock
on the date of valuation as determined by the
Committee, in good faith, using such valuation methods
as it in its discretion may apply. The Committee's
determination of fair market value shall be conclusive
and binding on the Corporation and the Participant.
Section 6A.4. Exercise of Rights. Unless a
forfeiture has occurred pursuant to Section 6A.8, Stock
Appreciation Rights shall be deemed exercised on the
earliest of (i) the Participant's termination of<PAGE>
<PAGE>10
employment with the Corporation and any Subsidiary if
the Participant was an employee of the Corporation or
any Subsidiary at the time of the award to him of a
Stock Appreciation Right, (ii) receipt by the
Corporation of a written request for payment from the
Participant, or (iii) the expiration date specified by
such Stock Appreciation Right (the earliest such date
being herein referred to as the "Exercise Date"). To
the extent a Stock Appreciation Right is vested, a
Participant may exercise the Stock Appreciation Right
at any time, unless such Participant is subject to the
filing requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. If the Participant is subject to
the filing requirements of Section 16(a), the
Participant may request payment only in accordance with
Rule 16b-3(e) of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, as then in effect. The request shall be in
writing, shall specify the number of Stock Appreciation
Rights with respect to which payment is requested, and
shall identify such Stock Appreciation Rights by series
and by the date of award. Distribution of the amount
payable with respect to Stock Appreciation Rights shall
be made entirely in cash. Exercise of Stock
Appreciation Rights under this Article VI-A is
unrelated to, and not in any way conditioned upon, the
exercise or non-exercise of any or all Options granted
under this Plan that the Participant may hold at the
time of the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Rights.
Section 6A.5. Vesting of Stock Appreciation
Rights. The Committee may in its discretion establish
vesting schedules for awards of Stock Appreciation
Rights which may vary from Participant to Participant.
The vesting schedule applicable to each Stock
Appreciation Right shall be set forth in the written
notice of award of such Stock Appreciation Right issued
by the Committee to the Participant. In the events
specified by Section 6.8 of the Plan, all Stock
Appreciation Rights shall become fully exercisable
without regard to vesting restrictions otherwise
applicable, to the same extent as Options become fully
exercisable by reason of such events pursuant to
Section 6.8 of the Plan.
Section 6A.6. Amount Payable for Stock
Appreciation Rights. The amount payable to a
Participant with respect to a Stock Appreciation Right
shall be the product of: (a) the value of such Stock
Appreciation Right determined on the Exercise Date for
such Stock Appreciation Right in accordance with
Section 6A.3 above and (b) the vested percentage
applicable to such Stock Appreciation Right on the
Exercise Date determined in accordance with Section
6A.5 hereof. In no event, however, shall any amount be
paid with respect to Stock Appreciation Rights that<PAGE>
<PAGE>11
have been forfeited pursuant to Section 6A.8. Payments
to a Participant with respect to a Stock Appreciation
Right shall be made by the Corporation or the
Subsidiary that employed such Participant within 90
days of the Exercise Date of such Stock Appreciation
Right or, if applicable, on the date provided in
Section 6A.8.
Section 6A.7. Withholding. All payments under the
Plan may be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy
withholding tax requirements of any government or
governmental unit having tax jurisdiction over the
payment.
Section 6A.8. Effect of Termination of Employment
or Death.
(a) In the event of the severance of the employment
relationship between the Corporation and a Participant
for any reason, for or without cause, other than death,
at any time before the date of expiration of Stock
Appreciation Rights held by such Participant, such
Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate on the
earlier of such date of expiration or 30 days after the
date the Participant ceases to be in the employ of the
Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Corporation.
(b) In the event of the death of a Participant
before the date of expiration of Stock Appreciation
Rights held by such Participant, such Stock
Appreciation Rights shall terminate on the earlier of
such date of expiration or one year following the date
of death. The executor or administrator of the estate
of the Participant or the person or persons to whom
Stock Appreciation Rights granted hereunder shall have
been validly transferred by the executor or the
administrator pursuant to will or the laws of descent
and distribution shall have the right to exercise the
Participant's Stock Appreciation Rights at any time
prior to the termination date specified in this Section
6A.8(b) to the extent that such Stock Appreciation
Rights would otherwise be exercisable under the terms
of the Plan and the Participant's Stock Appreciation
Right Agreement.
(c) No transfer of Stock Appreciation Rights by the
Participant by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution shall be effective to bind the Corporation
unless the Corporation shall have been furnished with
written notice thereof and an authenticated copy of the
will and/or such other evidence as the Corporation may
deem necessary to establish the validity of the
transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or
transferees of the terms and conditions of such Stock
Appreciation Rights.<PAGE>
<PAGE>12
Section 6A.9. Anti-Dilution and Other Adjustments.
The existence of allocated Stock Appreciation Rights
shall not affect in any way the right or power of the
Corporation or its shareholders to make or authorize
any or all adjustments, recapitalizations,
reorganizations or other changes in the Corporation's
capital structure or its business; or any merger or
consolidation of the Corporation; or any issue of
bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock
ahead of or affecting its Stock, or the rights thereof;
or the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation,
or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its
assets or business; or any other corporate act or
proceeding, whether of a similar character or
otherwise. In the event of any change in the
outstanding shares of Stock by reason of any stock
dividend or split, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, combination or
exchange of shares, or other similar corporate change,
the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion,
if such change equitably requires an adjustment in the
number or terms of Stock Appreciation Rights previously
granted to Participants. Such adjustments shall be
made by the Committee and shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes of the Plan.
Section 6A.10. No Rights as Shareholder. Although
Stock Appreciation Rights may have certain attributes
of Stock, they are not Stock. Stock Appreciation
Rights do not in any way represent an ownership
interest in the Corporation and do not confer any
shareholder rights upon a Participant.
Section 6A.11. No Effect on Employment
Relationship. Participation in the Plan will not
confer upon any employee any right to continue in the
employ of the Corporation or any Subsidiary and will
not interfere in any way with the right to terminate
any employee's employment at any time.
Section 6A.12. Unsecured Obligation. No
Participant under the Plan shall have any interest in
any fund or special asset of the Corporation by reason
of the Plan or the grant of an award pursuant to the
Plan. No trust that would qualify as an employee's
trust within the meaning of section 401 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, or in any other type
of trust, fund, or separate account, shall be created
in connection with the Plan or any grant of an award
pursuant to the Plan. Any amounts set aside by the
Corporation or any Subsidiary to meet obligations under
Article VI-A shall remain the property of the
Corporation or such Subsidiary. All amounts deemed
vested under the Plan shall represent amounts owed by<PAGE>
<PAGE>13
the Corporation, as a debtor, to a Participant who
shall be an unsecured creditor of the Corporation.
Section 6A.13. Assignment. No rights or interests
under Stock Appreciation Rights may be assigned or
transferred. In the case of death, payment for Stock
Appreciation Rights may be made to the estate or to any
beneficiary that may be designated by the Participant
pursuant to such procedures as the Committee may
establish.
Section 6A.14. Compliance with Rule 16b-3. Any
time at which an officer of the Corporation is subject
to the requirements of Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, all members of the Committee and
all transactions pursuant to the Plan shall comply with
the requirements of Rule 16b-3 promulgated pursuant to
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Section 6A.15. Amendment and Termination. The
Board may terminate this Article VI-A at any time or
amend it in any manner; provided, however, that no such
termination or amendment may adversely affect any
vested right or obligation with respect to any award
previously granted prior to such action except as
provided in this Plan or in the grant of the award. If
Article VI-A is terminated, the effective date of such
termination shall be the Exercise Date for all Stock
Appreciation Rights then outstanding. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any amendment to Article VI-A which
would:
(a) materially increase the benefits accruing
to Participants under Article VI-A,
(b) allow the issuance of securities or
materially increase the number of Stock
Appreciation Rights under Article VI-A, or
(c) materially modify the requirements as to
eligibility for participation in Article VI-A,
must be approved by the Board and (if required by Rule
16b-3) the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
a majority of the Stock present, or represented, and
entitled to vote at a meeting duly held in accordance
with the laws of the State of Indiana.
ARTICLE VII
Termination, Amendment and Modification of Plan
The Board of Directors of the Corporation may at
any time terminate, and may at any time and from time<PAGE>
<PAGE>14
to time and in any respect amend or modify, the Plan;
provided, however, that no such action of the Board
without approval of the shareholders of the Corporation
may:
(a) increase the total number of shares of
Stock subject to the Plan except as contemplated in
Section 5.3 hereof; or
(b) withdraw the administration of the Plan
from the Committee thereof; or

SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made and entered into as of this
20th day of June, 1989, by and between Robert G.
Watson, Jr. (the "Employee"), The American National
Bank of Vincennes, a national banking association with
its principal office in Vincennes, Indiana (the
"Bank"), and AMBANC Corp. (the "Company"), an Indiana
corporation that owns all of the outstanding capital
stock of the Bank. (The Company and the Bank are
collectively referred to herein as the "Employer").
ARTICLE I
Recitals
The Employer, in recognition of the invaluable
contribution of the Employee's services to its success,
and in recognition of the Employee's considerable and
unique knowledge and experience relating to its
business, affairs and operations, desires and believes
it to be in its best interest and the best interest of
its shareholders to secure the continuation of the
Employee's services as an employee of the Employer. To
induce the Employee to continue to serve as an employee
of the Employer, the Employer desires to provide the
Employee additional compensation in the event of the <PAGE>
<PAGE>
termination of his employment with both the Company and
the Bank for a reason other than his death. In
consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the Employee and theEmployer
hereby enter into this Agreement and agree to be bound
by its terms and conditions.
ARTICLE II
Definitions
Section 2.01. Beneficiary. "Beneficiary" means
the person(s) designated in writing by the Employee to
the Employer to receive any Supplemental Retirement
Benefits that may be payable hereunder after the
Employee's death.
Section 2.02. Commencement Date. "Commencement
Date" means the date selected by the Employee pursuant
to Section 4.02 on which payment of Supplemental
Retirement Benefits to the Employee begins. The
Commencement Date shall be the first day of a month,
and shall not be earlier than the Termination Date.
Section 2.03. Qualifying Termination. "Qualifying
Termination" means termination of the Employee's
employment with both the Company and the Bank (or <PAGE>
<PAGE>
termination of employment with the last of the two if
termination of the Employee's employment with the
Company and the Bank does not occur simultaneously) as
a result of a mutual agreement respecting such
termination between the Employer and Employee or by
reason of either the Employee's discharge, resignation,
retirement, or disability.
Section 2.04. Supplemental Retirement Benefits.
"Supplemental Retirement Benefits" means benefits
payable by the Employer to the Employee pursuant to
this Agreement either in the form of a Ten Year Certain
Annuity, a Lifetime Annuity, or a Single Sum Settlement
(all as defined herein).
Section 2.05. Termination Date. "Termination
Date" means the date and time at which the Employee's
employment with both the Company and the Bank

Employee's employment with the last of the two
terminates if termination of the Employee's employment
with both the Company and the Bank does not occur
simultaneously) by reason of a Qualifying Termination.
If such Qualifying Termination results from the
Employee's resignation or retirement (including
resignation or retirement necessitated by the <PAGE>
<PAGE>
Employee's disability), the Employee shall specify the
Termination Date pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof. If
such Qualifying Termination results from the Employer's

connection with a Qualifying Termination, then the
termination of the Employee's employment with the
Employer shall be deemed to have occurred by reason of
the Employee's death rather than by reason of a
Qualifying Termination and no Supplemental Retirement <PAGE>
<PAGE>
Benefits shall be payable to the Employee (or to his
beneficiary or successors) under this Agreement.
Section 3.02. Notice of Resignation or Retirement.
For purposes of this Agreement the Employee's
employment with the Employer shall be deemed to have
been terminated by resignation or retirement only if
the Employee submits to the Employer, during the
Employee's lifetime, a written notice, signed by the
Employee, stating his intention to resign or retire, as
applicable, and specifying therein the Termination Date
as of which such resignation or retirement shall be
effective (which date and time shall not be earlier

Company and the Bank). Suchresignation or retirement
shall be effective as of the Termination Date so
specified.

amount determined in accordance with Sections 4.03 and
4.04 hereof payable to the Employee during his
lifetime, but in any event payable for a period of not

2000, the amount of each monthly Ten Year
Certain Annuity payment shall be Four Thousand
Nine Hundred Thirty-nine Dollars ($4,939).

precedes April, 2000 (including the month in which
the Termination Date occurs and excluding the month
of April, 2000); subject, however, to further
reduction pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof.

Date. If the Commencement Date occurs prior to May 1,
2000, the amount of each monthly Ten Year Certain

his election to receive a Lifetime Annuity.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
(b) A single sum payment (the "Single Sum
Settlement") in an amount that is
actuariallyequivalent to the aggregate total of the
Ten Year Certain Annuity payments that would have
been payable to the Employee hereunder absent his
election to receive a Single Sum Settlement.
Section 4.06. Actuarial Assumptions. For purposes
of computing the actuarial equivalency of the optional
forms of Supplemental Retirement Benefits provided in

designation, the Employer shall pay such sums to the
Employee's surviving spouse or, in the absence of a
surviving spouse, to the Employee's estate.

Miscellaneous
Section 5.01. Succession. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the legal
representatives, successors and assigns of the Employee
and the Employer. The Employer shall assign this
Agreement to any person that succeeds to all or<PAGE>
<PAGE>
substantially all of its business and assets by merger,
consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise and with
which the Employee accepts employment, and shall obtain
the assumption hereof by such successor. In such
event, all references herein to the Employer shall be
deemed and construed to be references to such
successor, provided, however, that such assignment and
assumption shall not reduce or affect any of the
obligations of the assignor hereunder, which
obligations shall continue in full force and effect as
the obligations of aprincipal and not as the
obligations of a surety to the same extent as though no
assignment had been made.
Section 5.02. Legal Expenses. In the event that
the Employee or his successors institute any legal
action to enforce their rights under, or to recover
damages for breach of, this Agreement, the Employee or
his successors, if the prevailing party, shall be
entitled to recover from the Employer actual expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with
such legal action.
Section 5.03. Titles. The titles of sections
hereof are intended solely for convenience, and no<PAGE>
<PAGE>
provision hereof is to be construed by reference to any
such title.
Section 5.04. Amendment or Modification. No
provision hereof may be amended, modified or waived
unless such amendment, modification or waiver is agreed
to in writing signed by the Employee and the Employer.
Section 5.05. Severability. In the event that any
provision or portion hereof is determined to be invalid
or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining
provisions and portions hereof shall be unaffected
thereby and shall remain in full force and effect to
the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however,
that if the remaining provisions and portions hereof
are so essentially and inseparably connected, and so
dependent upon, the provision or portion
declaredinvalid that they are incomplete and incapable
of being given effect without such provision or
portion, then this entire Agreement shall be deemed to
be invalid and unenforceable.
Section 5.06. No Employee Interest or Trust.
Neither anything contained herein nor any action taken
pursuant to the provisions hereof shall create or be
construed to create an interest of the Employee in any<PAGE>
<PAGE>
insurance or annuity policy purchased and owned by the
Employer for the purpose of paying the retirement
benefits payable hereunder, and neither anything
contained herein nor any such action shall create or be
construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary
relationship between the Employer and the Employee, his
beneficiary or any other person. Any funds that may be
set aside or invested by the Employer for the purpose
of paying the Supplemental Retirement Benefits payable
hereunder shall continue for all purposes to be a part
of the general funds of the Employer, and no person
other than the Employer shall, by virtue of the
provisions hereof, have any interest in such funds. To
the extent that any person acquires a right to receive
payments from the Employer hereunder, such right shall
be no greater than the right of any unsecured general
creditor of the Employer.
Section 5.07. Other Benefits. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to exclude the Employee from any
supplemental compensation, bonus, pension, insurance,
severance pay or other benefit to which he might
otherwise be or become entitled as an employee of the
Employer.

shareholders' equity was $49,037,000 with FAX 115. Shareholders'
equity without FAX 115 increased $3,735,000, or 7.75% to
$51,952,000 at December 31, 1994, from $48,217,000 at December 31,
1993.
We are strong believers in our growth strategy of merging with
other community banks that fit the AMBANC mold. Not every bank is
an ideal fit, so we are careful to ensure each is best for all
parties and, most importantly, for you, the shareholders. We use
the term "merger" rather than "acquisition" because we realize the
importance of our subsidiary banks. We provide an environment in
which our subsidiary banks can remain autonomous but still give us
their insight and input. 1994 was no exception to this
philosophy. We were pleased to announce the pending purchase and
transfer of deposits from Mid-West Federal in Princeton, Indiana
to American National Bank. The acquisition of deposits will
enable us to increase our presence in the Gibson County market.
An additional highlight to the year was the announcement of the
pending merger of First National Bank in Robinson, IL, a
subsidiary of First Robinson Bancorp., into the AMBANC Corp. David
Musgrave, president of the bank, and his staff will be an ideal
match with the AMBANC tradition of bringing our customers the
finest in community banking products and services.
On the operational side, we have taken strides this past year to
take advantage of some economies of scale that have come to us as
a result of our merger activity. One such stride was to
centralize our marketing efforts to ensure uniformity, continuity
and, most of all, efficiency. Other such measures include the
<PAGE>
<PAGE>5
consolidation of statement processing, human resource and audit
functions within AMBANC Corp. These measures will enable us to
streamline our operations, ensuring higher efficiency and
profitability.
While we hold strongly to the principles of a traditional bank, we
realize the importance of monitoring the banking environment and
keeping an eye on the future. To that end, we feel it is
important to establish a modern look to our company as we approach
the 21st century. A prime example of this effort can be seen in
our 1994 annual report. We have incorporated a fresher look to
the report along with our new corporate logo, which was developed
to enhance recognition of the AMBANC Corp. name. As we continue
to grow, it is crucial that our subsidiaries, while maintaining
their respective banking names and strong presence in their
individual communities, also are recognized as members of AMBANC
Corp.
We have taken steps this year to revise our Dividend Reinvestment
Program to make it more attractive to all shareholders of the
company. Participants in the plan will be able to reinvest their
dividends quarterly on the open market at the current price, thus
simplifying the process and increasing liquidity in the stock. We
are extremely pleased with the revised plan and hope it generates
more participation. If you have any questions or would like more
information on the plan, please contact our shareholder relations
department at AMBANC.
Our task at AMBANC is to run the company to the best of our
ability in order to give you, the shareholders, the greatest
possible return on your investment. While we have made tremendous
strides over the past year, we will continually strive to ready
the company to meet new challenges in the upcoming year and even
into the next century. We know with your continued loyalty and
support, we will be able to meet those challenges and continue to
position ourselves as a leader in the banking industry, providing
the finest in community banking products and services.
Sincerely,
/s/ Robert G. Watson

THE AMBANC MISSION
Our business purpose is to optimize

by enhancing our stock price.
To accomplish this, it is necessary
to acquire and maintain strong,
profitable banking institutions that
focus upon and serve the financial needs

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS (in thousands)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
AMBANC Corp. as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1994,
1993 and 1992. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1993, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 have been restated to
reflect the pooling of interests in 1994 and 1993, as described in Notes 1 and
2. Separate financial statements for the other companies included in the 1993
and 1992 restated financial statements were audited and reported on by other
auditors, which statements reflect total assets of $93,092 and total
liabilities of $84,302 at December 31, 1993, and net income of $862 and $1,491
for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of AMBANC Corp. as of December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As disclosed in Notes 1 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements, in
1993 the Corporation changed its method of accounting for income taxes,
postretirement benefits and certain securities.

AMBANC CORP.
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
Note 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Reporting
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of AMBANC Corp. (Corporation), and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, The American National Bank of Vincennes
(ANB), Citizens' National Bank of Linton (CNB), Farmers'
State Bank of Palestine (FSB), Bank of Casey (BOC),
American National Realty Corp and Lincolnland Insurance
Agency & Investments, Inc. (LIA). Upon consolidation, all
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated. As discussed in Note 2, AMBANC Corp.
acquired FSB on June 1, 1993, and BOC on June 1, 1994, both
under the pooling of interests method of accounting. These
consolidated financial statements have been restated to
reflect the accounts of FSB and BOC for all periods
presented.
Description of Business
ANB, CNB, FSB and BOC operate primarily in the banking
industry, which accounts for more than 90 percent of the
Corporation's revenues, operating income and assets. ANB,
CNB, FSB and BOC generate commercial, real estate mortgage
and installment loans and receive deposits from customers
located in Greene, Knox, Gibson and surrounding counties in
Indiana and Crawford, Clark and surrounding counties in
Illinois. Although the overall loan portfolio is
diversified, the economy of these counties is heavily
dependent upon the agricultural industry. The majority of
the loans are secured by specific items of collateral
including business assets, real property and consumer
assets.
American National Realty Corp. owns various real estate,
most of which is leased to ANB for normal banking
activities, such as parking, drive-in banking and branch
banking facilities.
Securities
On December 31, 1993, the Corporation adopted Financial
Accounting Standard No. 115 (FAS 115), "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Prior
to adoption of FAS 115, all debt securities were carried at
amortized cost (cost adjusted for amortization of premiums
or accretion of discounts), because management had the
intent and ability to hold them for the foreseeable future.
All marketable liquidity mutual funds were carried at the
lower of cost or market value with any unrealized loss due
to temporary market fluctuations recorded as a separate
component of equity. Upon the adoption of FAS 115, all
securities were classified by management as available for
sale or held to maturity. The adoption of FAS 115 in 1993
had no effect on net income, earnings per share or retained
earnings. The unrealized gain/(loss) on securities
available for sale is reflected as a separate component of
equity, net of tax on the balance sheet.
Securities classified as available for sale are marketable
liquidity mutual funds and debt securities that the
Corporation intends to hold for an indefinite period of
time, but not necessarily until maturity. Securities
available for sale include securities that management might
use as part of its asset-liability strategy, or that may be
sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in<PAGE>
<PAGE>15
prepayment risk or other similar factors, and which are
carried at market value. Securities classified as held to
maturity are securities that the Corporation has both the
ability and positive intent to hold to maturity and are
carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premium or
accretion of discount using the level yield basis.
Realized gains and losses on securities are computed on a
specific identification basis. Interest and dividend
income, adjusted by amortization of purchase premium or
discount, is included in earnings.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale consist of fixed rate mortgage loans
conforming to established guidelines and held for sale to
the secondary mortgage market. Mortgage loans held for
sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value
determined on an aggregate basis. Gains and losses on the
sale of these mortgage loans are included in other
noninterest income.
Interest Income on Loans
Interest on real estate, commercial and installment loans
is accrued over the term of the loans on a level yield
basis. The recognition of interest income is discontinued
when, in management's judgment, the interest will not be
collectible in the normal course of business.
Loan Fees and Costs
The Corporation defers loan fees, net of certain direct
loan origination costs. The net amount deferred is
reported on the balance sheets as part of loans and is
recognized into interest income over the term of the loan
on a level yield basis.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The balance in the allowance and the amount of the annual
provision charged to expense are judgmentally determined
based upon a number of factors. Estimating the risk of
loss and the amount of loss on any loan is necessarily
subjective. Accordingly, the allowance is maintained by
management at a level considered adequate to cover possible
losses that are currently anticipated based on past loss
experience, general economic conditions, information about
specific borrower situations, including their financial
position and collateral values, and other factors and
estimates which are subject to change over time. While
management may periodically allocate portions of the
allowance for specific problem loan situations, the whole
allowance is available for any loan charge-offs which
occur. Increases to the allowance are recorded by a
provision for possible loan losses charged to expense. A
loan is charged off by management as a loss when deemed
uncollectible, although collection efforts continue and
future recoveries may occur.
Premises, Furniture and Equipment
Premises, furniture and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Premises, furniture and
equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives
of the assets, principally on the straight-line method.
Maintenance and repairs are expensed, and major
improvements are capitalized.
Other Real Estate
Real estate acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure is recorded at the lower of<PAGE>
<PAGE>16
cost (fair value at date of foreclosure) or fair value
less estimated selling costs. The costs of holding the
real estate are charged to operations while major
improvements are capitalized.
Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation adopted
Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 (FAS 109),
"Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires an asset and
liability approach to financial accounting and reporting
for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are computed annually for differences between
the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible
amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates
applicable to the periods in which the differences are
expected to affect taxable income. Income tax expense is
the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus
the change during the period in deferred tax assets and
liabilities. In years prior, the Corporation recorded tax
expense based on the effect of timing differences on
taxable income during the year the timing differences arose
or reversed.
The cumulative effect of the accounting change on years
prior to January 1, 1993, of $252 is shown on the 1993
income statement.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries file consolidated tax
returns. Each entity is charged or credited for taxes as
if separate returns were filed.
Fiduciary Activities
Trust Department income is recognized on the cash basis
method, which in this circumstance does not materially
differ from the accrual method.
Statements of Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents is defined to include cash on
hand, noninterest bearing amounts due from other banks and
federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for
one-day periods. The Corporation reports net cash flows
for loans held for sale, customer loan transactions,
deposit transactions and deposits made with other financial
institutions.
Financial Statement Presentation
Certain items in the 1993 and 1992 financial statements
have been reclassified to correspond with the 1994
presentation.
Note 2 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On June 1, 1993, the Corporation issued 395,090 shares of
its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding
common stock of Farmers' State Bank of Palestine (FSB). On
June 1, 1994, the Corporation issued 542,338 shares of its
common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common
stock of Lincolnland Bancshares, Inc. (LBI), the parent
holding company of BOC and LIA. LBI was then merged into
the Corporation. These acquisitions were accounted for
under the pooling of interests method. Accordingly, the
Corporation's financial statements and financial data have
been retroactively restated to include the accounts and
operations of FSB and LBI for all periods presented.
Certain reclassifications have been made to FSB's and LBI's
historical financial statements to conform to the
Corporation's presentation.<PAGE>
<PAGE>17
Interest income and net income of the Corporation, FSB and
LBI for the periods prior to the acquisition were as
follows.

At December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, non-accrual loans
totalled $571, $891 and $1,355. Income recorded on
these loans during 1994, 1993 and 1992 totalled $17,
$17 and $25. Income which would have been recorded on
these loans during 1994, 1993 and 1992, had they been
accruing all year, was $51, $94 and $150.
Certain loans have been restructured in a manner that
grants a concession to the borrower because of the
borrower's financial difficulties. At December 31,
1994, 1993 and 1992, these loans totalled $490, $565
and $265. Interest income recorded on these loans was
$39, $40 and $15 during 1994, 1993 and 1992. Interest
income which would have been recorded under the
original terms of the loans was $44, $48 and $24 during
1994, 1993 and 1992.

Treasury.
Note 9 - LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt is comprised of a deferred compensation plan of $27
as discussed in Note 10 and two Federal Home Loan Bank Mortgage
Advances totalling $3,162. These dvances have an average rate of
5.65%, interest payable monthly and principal payable in annual
installments with the final payment due March 15, 2004. These
loan advances are secured by various securities. The principal
maturities of debt in each of the five years after December 31,
1994, will be $587, $484, $400, $332 and $211.
Note 10 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
ANB, CNB and FSB maintain a retirement savings plan (Plan)
covering substantially all employees. The Plan requires employees
to complete one year of service and be 21 years of age before
entering the Plan. Employee contributions are limited to a
maximum of 12% of their salary. The Plan allows for a matching of
the first 4% of employee salary contributions and an annual
discretionary contribution. The Corporation's contributions to
the Plan are vested by employees at 20% per year starting with the
second year of service and become 100% vested after six years of
service. The Corporation's total 401(k) contributions were $350,
$312 and $305 for 1994, 1993 and 1992.
Prior to December 31, 1994, BOC sponsored a defined benefit
pension plan covering substantially all employees. Benefits were
based primarily on years of service and on the employees' average
compensation during their period of employment. BOC's funding
policy was to contribute the minimum amount required by applicable
regulations. Plan assets consist primarily of investments in
interest bearing balances with financial institutions, U.S.
government bonds and marketable equity mutual funds.
BOC elected to eliminate the accrual of benefits for services
under the plan effective December 31, 1994, and intends to
terminate the plan on April 30, 1995. The effect of eliminating
the accrual of benefits is accounted for as a plan curtailment in
accordance with FAS No. 88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlements
and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for
Termination Benefits."
On December 31, 1994, the projected benefit obligation was $1,318
and accumulated plan benefits totalled $895, of which $871 was
vested. The fair value of plan assets available for benefits was
$925. The effect of curtailing the Plan was to recognize a
decrease in the projected benefit obligation of $215, to currently
recognize the transition obligation of $472, and to recognize a
gain of $208 at December 31, 1994. This net $49 curtailment loss
is included with pension costs in the consolidated statement of
income.
The following sets forth the Plan's funded status and amount
recognized in the financial statements at December 31 (amounts
computed as of December 31, 1994, and November 30, 1993).

The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the
actuarial present value of projected benefit obligations was 5% in
1994 and 8% in 1993 and 1992. dditionally, the rate of increase
in future compensation assumed was 4% for 1994, 1993 and 1992.
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 8% in
1994, 1993 and 1992.
During 1994 the Corporation implemented a deferred compensation
plan for the benefit of certain executive officers. In return for
relinquishing the right to a portion of their current
compensation, the Corporation agrees to pay the participants at
retirement or termination, in the form of 120 monthly payments or
one lump-sum payment, the amount deferred plus any interest earned
during the deferral period. Interest is paid annually at prime
rate and the liability of $27 is included with long-term debt on
the December 31, 1994, balance sheet. During 1994 the Corporation
accrued approximately $1 of interest expense towards its bligation
under the plan.
Note 11 - POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
As of January 1, 1993, the Corporation adopted the Financial
Accounting Standard No. 106 (FAS 106), "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." The Corporation
sponsors a postretirement benefit plan which provides defined
medical and death benefits. Employees hired before April 1990 who
retire after January 1, 1993, are eligible to receive
postretirement medical benefits for themselves, if they have
completed 20 years of service and attained age 62. Existing
retirees as of December 31, 1992, will receive postretirement
medical benefits for themselves and their spouses and death
benefits. Prior to the attainment of age 65 medical coverage is
provided under the Corporation's group major medical insurance
plan. At age 65 coverage is provided under a medicare supplement
plan.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>23
The plan is contributory. Participants who were retired as of
December 31, 1992, are required to contribute an amount equal to
the amount they paid as of December 31, 1992, plus any future
increase in the applicable premium to provide the coverage.
Participants who retired on or after January 1, 1993, are required
to contribute an amount equal to the entire applicable premium to
provide the coverage, less sixty dollars or fifty percent,
whichever is lower, paid monthly by the Corporation.
The following sets forth the plans' funded status and amounts
recognized in the financial statements at December 31, 1994 and
1993.

</TABLE>
Benefit payments of $45 and $57 were made for postretirement
medical benefits in 1994 and 1993.
For measurement purposes, a 16% annual rate of increase in the per
capital cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 1994
and 1993 with the rate gradually decreasing to 6% after 25 years.
The health care cost trend assumption has a significant effect on
the amounts reported. An increase in the assumed health care cost
trend rates by 1% in each year would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994 and
1993, by approximately $14 and would have virtually no effect on
the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net
periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1994 and 1993.
The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 6% and 7% at
December 31, 1994 and 1993.
<PAGE>

Note 12 - STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Corporation had a Nonqualified Stock Option Plan which expired
in April 1993. Under the terms of the plan, optionswere granted
at amounts not less than the fair market value of the shares at
the date of the grant and any options granted must be exercised
within ten years of the grant. As of December 31, 1994, 1993 and
1992, fully vested options for 24,000 shares at an option price of
$20 per share were outstanding.
Additionally, under provisions of the Nonqualified Stock Option
Plan, stock appreciation rights have been granted coinciding with
the number of stock options granted. The value of each stock
appreciation right at any time is equal to 50% of the excess of
the fair market value of one share of common stock of the
Corporation over the exercise price of the option to which it
relates. Employee benefits charged/(credited) to operations in
1994 and 1993 includes $(69) and $60 related to stock appreciation
rights.

Note 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Corporation leases various facilities and equipment. These
leases expire at various times during the years 1995 through 2008
with renewal options through the year 2038. Certain of these
leases are with companies controlled by directors of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries and had total lease payments of
$41, $22 and $9 in 1994, 1993 and 1992. Total rental expense for
all leases for the years 1994, 1993 and 1992, was $87, $64 and
$29. The following is a schedule of future minimum lease
payments.

</TABLE>
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation's banking
subsidiaries have loans, commitments and contingent liabilities,
such as guarantees and commitments to extend credit, which are not
reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. The Corporation's
exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to make
loans and standby letters of credit is represented by the
contractual amount of those instruments. The Corporation uses the
same credit policy to make such commitments as is used for
on-balance sheet items. Outstanding loan commitments and
customers' unused lines of credit amounted to $62,056 and $51,890
at December 31, 1994 and 1993. Outstanding standby letters of
credit were $6,408 and $5,674 at December 31, 1994 and 1993.
Since many commitments to make loans expire without being used,
the outstanding amount of commitments does not necessarily
represent future cash commitments. Collateral obtained upon
exercise of the commitment is determined using management's credit
evaluation of the borrower and may include accounts receivable,
inventory, property, land and other items.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>26
The Corporation was required to have $6,295 and $6,720 at December
31, 1994 and 1993, on deposit with the Federal Reserve or as cash
on hand or on deposit with other banks. These reserves do not
earn interest.
Note 15 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted
to reflect the effect of the shares issued in the business
combinations discussed in Note 2, as though these shares had been
outstanding for all periods presented. Earnings per share amounts
are based on average outstanding shares of 2,370,004 for 1994 and
2,369,784 for 1993 and 1992.
In 1993 the directors of the Corporation approved the
establishment of a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
(Plan) to provide shareholders a method of purchasing additional
shares of the Corporation's common stock by reinvesting their cash
dividends or making optional cash payments into the Plan. Shares
will be credited to the participant's account at the market value
of the Corporation's stock at the date of the monthly purchase by
the Plan. The directors of the Corporation reserved 50,000 shares
for the Plan and issued 2,388 shares to the Plan in 1994.
Note 16 - DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
The Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary banks are subject
to regulations which require the maintenance of certain capital
levels and, as a result, limit the amount of dividends which may
be paid by the banks. ANB and CNB are regulated by the
Comptroller of the Currency, FSB and BOC are regulated by the
Commissioner of Banks and Trust Companies in Illinois, while the
Corporation is regulated by the Federal Reserve Board. The most
restrictive of the regulations generally requires the banks to
maintain a minimum leverage capital to total asset ratio. As a
result of this limitation, approximately $25,220 of the $48,006
equity of the banks was restricted and unavailable for the payment
of dividends to the Corporation at December 31, 1994.
Additionally, the amount of dividends the banks may pay to the
Corporation in a single year without approval from regulators is
limited by regulation. Under the most restrictive regulations,
approximately $6,087 of undistributed earnings of the banks was
available for distribution to the Corporation at December 31,
1994. As a practical matter dividends are ordinarily restricted
to a lesser amount because of the need to maintain an adequate
capital structure.

</TABLE>
For purposes of the above disclosures of estimated fair value, the
following assumptions were used as of December 31, 1994 and 1993.
The estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents is
considered to approximate cost. The estimated fair value for
securities is based on quoted market values for the individual
securities or for equivalent securities. The estimated fair value
for commercial loans is based on estimates of the difference in
interest rate the bank would charge the borrowers for similar
loans with similar maturities applied for an estimated time period
until the loan is assumed to reprice or be paid. The estimated
fair value for other loans is based on estimates of the rate the
bank would charge for similar such loans applied for the time
period until estimated repayment. The estimated fair value for
demand and savings deposits is based on their carrying value. The
estimated fair value for time deposits is based on estimates of
the rate the bank would pay on such deposits applied for the time
period until maturity. The estimated fair value for short-term
borrowings is considered to approximate cost. Rates currently
available to the Corporation for debt with similar terms and
remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing
long-term debt. The estimated fair value for other financial
nstruments and off-balance sheet loan commitments approximate cost
and are not considered significant to this presentation because
the majority of these items are primarily at variable rates and
are not made for long term periods.
While these estimates of fair value are based on management's
judgment of the most appropriate factors, there is no assurance
that were the Corporation to have disposed of such items at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, the estimated fair values would
necessarily have been achieved at that date, since market values
may differ depending on various circumstances. The estimated fair
values at December 31, 1994 and 1993, should not necessarily be
considered to apply at subsequent dates.
In addition, other assets and liabilities of the Corporation that
are not defined as financial instruments are not included in the
above disclosures, such as property and equipment. Also, non-
financial instruments typically not recognized in financial
statements nevertheless may have value but are not included in the
above disclosures. These include, among other items, the
estimated earnings power of core deposit accounts, the earnings
potential of loan servicing rights, the earnings potential of the
bank's trust department, the trained work force, customer goodwill
and similar items.

Note 19 - PENDING CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
The Financial Accounting Standards Board had issued Financial
Accounting Standard No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan." Under this pronouncement, companies are
required to adopt the new method of accounting for impaired loans
in 1995. The Corporation has determined that the implementation
of this standard will be immaterial to the financial statements.
Note 20 - PROPOSED ACQUISITION
On October 12, 1994, the Corporation entered into a definitive
agreement to acquire First Robinson Bancorp (FRB), the parent
holding company for The First National Bank in Robinson, Illinois.
Pursuant to the proposed acquisition, the Corporation has offered
between 555,075 and 666,090 shares of its common stock for the
outstanding shares of FRB. The actual number of shares of the
Corporation to be issued for FRB will be based upon the actual
market value of the Corporation's stock immediately prior to the
consummation of the transaction. The transaction will be
accounted for under the pooling of interests method. Consummation
of the transaction is subject to regulatory and FRB shareholders'
approval. FRB had total assets of $109,144 and total liabilities
of $99,971 at December 31, 1994, and net income of $1,059 for the
twelve months ended December 31, 1994.
On September 26, 1994, ANB entered into a definitive purchase and
assumption agreement with First Indiana Bank, a Federal Savings
Bank, to purchase the building and the outstanding deposits at the
date of closing, of their Princeton, Indiana branch. The
transaction will be accounted for as a purchase and consummation
of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval. Total
deposits of the First Indiana Bank branch to be acquired were
$26,021 as of December 31, 1994.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT
The management of AMBANC Corp. is responsible for the integrity of
all information contained in the accompanying financial statements
and other sections of this annual report. The statements have
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles and include amounts that are based on management's best
estimates and judgment.
In meeting its responsibility, management relies on the systems of
internal control which are designed to provide reasonable
assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are
properly executed and recorded. The development and dissemination
of written policies and procedures, appropriate segregation of
duties and responsibilities and the conducting of a continuing
comprehensive program of internal audits provide further
enhancements to the systems of internal control.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting solely
of outside Directors, meets periodically with management, the
internal auditors and the independent auditors to review audits,
financial reporting and other related matters. The internal
auditors and the independent auditors have full and free access to
the Audit Committee to further assure their independence.
The financial statements have been audited by Crowe, Chizek and
Company, independent auditors. They were engaged to audit the
financial statements and to express an opinion thereon. Their
audit was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.

AMBANC CORP.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section presents an analysis of the consolidated financial condition of
AMBANC Corp. (Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The American
National Bank of Vincennes (ANB), Citizens' National Bank of Linton (CNB),
Farmers' State Bank of Palestine (FSB), Bank of Casey (BOC) (Collectively, the
"Banks") and American National Realty Corp. and Lincolnland Insurance Agency &
Investments, Inc. (LIA) at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated
results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992.
This review should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements, notes to consolidated financial statements and other financial
data presented elsewhere in this Annual Report.
On June 1, 1993, the Corporation issued 395,090 shares of its common stock in
exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of FSB. On June 1, 1994, the
Corporation issued 542,338 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of
the outstanding common stock of Lincolnland Bancshares, Inc. (LBI), the parent
holding company of BOC and LIA. LBI was then merged into the Corporation.
These acquisitions were accounted for under the pooling of interests method.
Accordingly, the Corporation's financial statements and financial data have
been retroactively restated to include the accounts and operations of FSB and
LBI for all periods presented. Certain reclassifications have been made to
FSB's and LBI's historical financial statements to conform to the
Corporation's presentation.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
Net income for 1994 was $5,443 or $2.30 per share compared to $5,419 or $2.29
per share in 1993 and $4,936 or $2.08 per share in 1992. Included in net
income for 1993 was an adjustment of $252, resulting from the adoption of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This
adjustment is shown on the income statement as the cumulative effect on prior
years of changing to a different method of accounting for income taxes.
Earnings per share for 1993 before this accounting change was $2.18. Earnings
expressed as a percent of average assets and average equity were:

</TABLE>
The following is an analysis of the critical components of net income for the
years 1994, 1993 and 1992 with discussion and analysis of the contrasts
between these periods and the effect of previous trends on anticipated future
earnings performance.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the principal source of the Corporation's earnings and
represents the difference between interest income on interest earning assets
and the interest cost of interest bearing liabilities. Income on certain
interest earning assets is exempt from federal income tax and, as is customary
in the banking industry, changes in net interest income are analyzed on a
fully tax equivalent basis. Under this method, and throughout this
discussion, nontaxable income on loans and securities is adjusted to an amount
which represents the equivalent earnings if such earnings were subject to
federal tax. The marginal tax rate used to restate nontaxable income was 34%
for 1994, 1993 and 1992.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>33
The yield on average interest earning assets and the rate paid on average
interest bearing liabilities is based upon three major factors: the
yield/rate received or paid, the mix of the individual components and the
volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. While the
national prime rate is not the only indicator for yields received on assets or
the rates paid on liabilities by the Corporation, it does indicate a general
trend of current rates being received on assets and paid on liabilities. The
national prime rate averaged 6.26% in 1992, decreased to 6.00% all during 1993
and increased to an average of 7.14% during 1994. Yields received and rates
paid by the Corporation are a blend of current and past year's interest rates
due to the lag effect of the repricing of both long-term assets and long-term
liabilities. The following table shows the average balances, interest income
or expense and average yields and rates on interest earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities by type. It also shows the calculation of net
interest margin for 1994, 1993 and 1992.

Note A - Included in total loans are non-accrual loans.
Note B - Interest income includes the effects of taxable
equivalent adjustments using a marginal federal tax rate
of 34% for 1994, 1993 and 1992. The total adjustment to
convert tax exempt loans and securities to a fully tax
equivalent basis was $1,327, $1,402 and $1,258 for 1994,
1993 and 1992.

on loans amounted to $706, $428 and $355, for the years 1994,

Net interest income in 1994 increased $1,031 or 5.23% from 1993,
and the percent of net interest margin, or net interest income to
average interest earning assets, increased to 4.27% in 1994 from
4.18% in 1993. This increase in net interest income was due to
favorable rate and volume changes during 1994 when compared to
1993. During 1994 yields on average interest earning assets
decreased more slowly than rates on average interest bearing
liabilities. Yields on interest earning assets decreased .04% to
7.48% from 7.52% in 1993 while rates on interest bearing
liabilities decreased .10% to 3.79% in 1994 from 3.89% in 1993.
As illustrated below, total average interest earning assets also
increased $12,366 or 2.62% in 1994 from 1993 while average
interest bearing liabilities increased $8,050 or 1.99% in 1994
from 1993.
Net interest income in 1993 decreased $218 or 1.09% from 1992,
and the percent of net interest margin, or net interest income to
average interest earning assets, decreased to 4.19% in 1993 from
4.32% in 1992. This decrease in net interest income was due to
unfavorable rate changes offset by favorable volume changes
during 1993 when compared to 1992. During 1993 yields on average
interest earning assets decreased faster than rates on average
interest bearing liabilities. Rates on interest earning assets
decreased .81% to 7.52% in 1993 from 8.33% in 1992 while rates on
interest bearing liabilities decreased .75% to 3.89% in 1993 from
4.64% in 1992. The total average interest earning assets did
increase $10,406 or 2.26% in 1993 from 1992 while average
interest bearing liabilities increased $5,678 or 1.43% in 1993
from 1992.
The following table illustrates the total average interest
earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities and net
interest earning assets for 1994, 1993 and 1992.

Net interest income is also affected by volume and rate of
average interest earning assets and average interest bearing
liabilities. The following table depicts the dollar effect of
volume and rate changes from year to year for the different types
of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and
the resultant change in interest income and interest expense from
volume and rate changes from year to year. Variances which were
not specifically attributable to volume or rate were allocated
proportionately between each based on the overall effect of each
to the total. Non-performing loans are included with loans in

</TABLE>
As stated previously, general interest rates increased in 1994
from 1993 and the Corporation's average interest earning assets
and interest bearing liabilities both increased. The volume
increase added $1,648 interest income on average interest bearing
assets and increased interest cost on average interest bearing
liabilities by only $308 for a total net interest income increase
of $1,340 due to volume changes. The rate increases in 1994 were
offset by the lag effect of lower rates on long-term assets and
liabilities and left the Corporation's interest income being
reduced $737 on average interest bearing assets and reduced
interest cost by $428 on average interest bearing liabilities for
a total decrease of $309 in net interest income due to rate
changes. The volume increase and rate decrease combined to
provide the $1,031 increase in net interest income for 1994 when
compared to 1993.
Rates actually reduced slightly in 1993 from 1992 while the
Corporation's volume of interest earning assets and interest
bearing liabilities increased. The volume increase added $1,124
to interest income on average interest earning assets and reduced
the interest expense on average interest bearing liabilities by
$87 for a total increase of $1,211 to net interest income due to
volume. The interest expense reduction from volume is
contradictory to an overall increase in average interest bearing
liabilities but is explained by the large decrease in average
time deposits during 1993. Time deposits historically have been
at higher rates than other types of deposits and their volume
reduction more than offset any expense increase due to volume
increases on the other deposit products of the Corporation during
1993. The slight rate decrease in 1993 from 1992 plus the lag
effect of older higher rates on assets and liabilities running
off caused a $4,088 reduction in interest income from average
interest earning assets and a reduction of $2,659 from interest
expense on average interest bearing liabilities for a total
decrease of $1,429 in net interest income during 1993. The
volume increase offset by a higher rate reductions combined to
provide the $218 decrease in net interest income for 1993 when
compared to 1992.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses provides a reserve (the allowance
for loan losses) to which loan losses are charged as those losses
become evident. Management of each bank determines the
appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly
basis utilizing a report containing loans with a more than normal<PAGE>
<PAGE>39
degree of risk. This report is the by-product of an ongoing loan
review process, the purpose of which is to determine the level of
credit risk within the portfolio and to ensure proper adherence
to underwriting and documentation standards. Utilizing this
report, a specific portion of the reserve is allocated to those
loans which are considered to represent significant exposure to
risk. In addition, estimates are made for potential losses on
consumer loans, residential mortgage loans and commercial loans
not specifically reviewed based on historical loan loss
experience and other factors and trends.
The provision for loan losses for 1994 was only $100 compared to
$470 in 1993 and $1,375 in 1992. The reduced provision during
1994 was the result of a continued overall improvement in the
credit quality of the loan portfolio and additional recoveries of
loans previously charged off. Total loan charge-offs for 1994
decreased $23 to $538 from $561 in 1993 and nonperforming loans
decreased $293 to $1,703 in 1994 from $1,996 in 1993 and were
only .53% of total loans at year end 1994. The 1993 provision
was also lower than 1992 due to overall improvements in the loan
portfolio and the fact that net loan charge-offs in 1993 were
only $295 compared to $1,234 in 1992. Total nonperforming loans
at year end 1993 were also reduced to .72% of total loans from
.85% of total loans at year end 1992. The ending allowance for
loan losses as a percent of loans decreased to 1.22% at 1994 from
1.33% at 1993 and 1992. The ratio of net loans charged off as a
percent of total average loans has remained well below 1% and was
(.04)% in 1994, .11% in 1993 and .46% in 1992.

years follows.

</TABLE>
As noted above, total charge-offs decreased to $538 in 1994 from
$561 in 1993 and $1,479 in 1992. The improved economy plus
excellent farm crops during the past three years lead to the
reduction of loan charge-offs.
Nonperforming assets are defined as nonaccrual loans for which
the ultimate collectibility of interest is uncertain, but for
which the principal is considered collectible; restructured loans
which have had an alteration to the original interest rate,
repayment terms or principal balance because of a deterioration
in the financial condition of the borrower; and loans past due
over 90 days but still accruing interest because the interest is
ultimately considered collectible. Nonperforming assets also
include other real estate owned which has been acquired through
foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
Other real estate owned is carried at the lower of cost or fair
value less estimated selling costs, and is actively being
marketed for sale. The following table sets forth the components
of nonperforming assets and their percentage to loans at the year
end for the past five years.

Assets considered to be nonperforming are reviewed more
frequently by management for repayment probability and residual
collateral values. All restructured loans shown above for 1994,
1993, 1992 and 1991 have been performing within the terms of
their restructured agreements. The level of nonperforming loans
decreased $1,588 or 41.42% between 1991 and 1992. The decrease
was primarily attributable to two commercial loan customers
totaling $974 that were on nonaccrual at the end of 1991 but
which had payoffs or were liquidated by the end of 1992. The
decrease between 1990 and 1991 is due to nonperforming loans
being charged off.
In addition to the nonperforming loans, there are other loans in
the portfolio that have been identified by management or through
an ongoing loan review process as having more than a normal
degree of risk. These loans are reviewed quarterly by management
and totalled $5,924 or 1.84% of total loans at December 31, 1994.
Based upon the Corporation's review, considering remaining
collateral and/or financial condition of identified loans with a
more than normal degree of risk, including nonperforming loans,
historical loan loss percentages and economic conditions, it is
management's belief that the $100 of provision for loan losses
during 1994 and the $3,911 of allowance for loan losses at
December 31, 1994, is adequate to cover future possible losses.

The allowance for loan loss allocation is based upon the
management's assessment of specific allocation to loan types and
to historical loan loss percentages by loan type. The above
shows a large portion of the allowance for loan loss at year end
1994, 1993 and 1992 that is unallocated and available to cover
unidentified risks in the portfolio due to possible economic
problems and continued loan growth.
The Corporation's loan growth of 15.88% during 1994, including an
11.02% increase in commercial loans, has not added any unusual
risk to the loan portfolio. The market areas served, customers
and types of loans included in the 1994 loan growth were
consistent with those serviced by the Corporation in prior years.
Noninterest Income
A bank typically generates noninterest income through fees and
service charges. The following table outlines the components of
noninterest income for the years 1994, 1993 and 1992.

Total noninterest income.... $ 2,391 $ 2,587 $ 2,152
</TABLE>
Noninterest income in 1994, excluding security gains and losses,
decreased $177 or 6.88% from 1993. Fiduciary income decreased
$32 or 7.64% due to decreases in trust business and lower profits
due to the general increase in the investment market rates. A
portion of the trust business derives profits based on a<PAGE>
<PAGE>42
percentage of profits of individual trust accounts invested in
different market instruments which were valued lower due to the
general rate increase of the market. Deposit service charges
were down $58 or 4.94% due to an overall reduction of fees during
1994 when compared to 1993. Other operating income decreased $87
or 8.87% in 1994 from 1993 due to land sales in 1993 and not in
1994, reduced gains in 1994 on sales of loans held for sale when
compared to 1993 offset by increases in other service charges and
insurance commission income. Noninterest income in 1993,
excluding security gains and losses, increased $494 or 23.75%
from 1992. Fiduciary income increased $36 or 9.40% due to growth
in the trust business during 1993 and generally lower rates in
the investment markets. Deposit service charges stayed almost
the same with only a $25 or 2.18% increase. Other operating
income increased $433 or 79.01% in 1993 from 1992. This growth
is mainly due to increases in customer service charges, insurance
commission income, gain on sale of excess land, gain on sale of
loans held for sale and earnings on cash surrender value of life
insurance.

Noninterest expense increased $692 or 5.19% in 1994 from 1993 and
increased $715 or 5.67% in 1993 from 1992. Salaries and benefits
increased $248 or 3.58% in 1994 from 1993 with increases in
salaries and related taxes offset by reductions in medical
insurance, life insurance and expenses related to stock
appreciation rights granted to certain key employees. The
decrease in the market value of the Corporation's stock during
1994 decreased the expense related to the stock appreciation
rights by $69 in 1994. Salary and benefits increased $384 or
5.88% in 1993 from 1992 with increases in salaries and related
taxes, medical insurance, pension expense, education expense and
expense related to the stock appreciation rights which was $60
for 1993.
The increases in occupancy expense of $75 or 9.63% in 1994 from
1993 were related to the Corporation opening a new branch,
acquiring another branch and making needed repairs to several
branches during 1994. The change in occupancy expense in 1993
from 1992 was slight with an increase of only $22 or 2.91%.
Equipment expense decreased only $6 in 1994 from 1993 which had
increased $86 or 11.21% from 1992. The equipment expense
increases in 1993 are due mainly to additional depreciation and
contract expense related to continued increases in the use of
technology by the Corporation.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>44
Data processing expenses decreased $141 or 24.19% in 1994 from
1993 and decreased $99 or 14.52% in 1993 from 1992. The
Corporation has continued to seek efficiencies by combining the
data processing operations of its affiliate banks. FSB was
converted to ANB's in-house data processing system in 1993 and
CNB and another bank now operated by ANB were converted in 1992.
With the elimination of the outside service bureaus and the
conversion expenses, data processing expenses continue to
decrease.
The FDIC deposit insurance premium rate paid by the Corporation
to provide insurance on customers' deposits was .23% in 1994,
1993 and 1992. The increases in FDIC insurance for 1994, 1993
and 1992 are due entirely to increased insured deposit balances.
The Banks have all been assigned the classification of least risk
by the FDIC and as such will be subject to the lowest possible
FDIC, deposit insurance rates in 1995. With the FDIC fund
approaching its required 1.25% of insured deposits, it is
anticipated that the Corporation's cost for FDIC insurance will
be reduced to .04% sometime during 1995.
Other operating expenses increased $495 or 15.45% in 1994 from
1993. Major increases were professional and legal fees related
to acquisition activities, supplies, telephone, bank processing
fees as the Corporation paid hard dollar charges verses soft
dollar charges, advertising, director fees, other real estate
owned expenses and officer travel expenses offset by reductions
in charitable contributions and loan collection and repossession
expenses. Other operating expenses increased $296 or 10.18% in
1993 from 1992. Major increases were professional and legal fees
related to acquisition activities, supplies, telephone, bank
processing fees, advertising, director fees, publications and
subscriptions, other real estate owned expense offset by
reductions in charitable contributions and loan collection and
repossession expenses.
Income Tax
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation adopted Financial
Accounting Standard No. 109 (FAS 109), "Accounting for Income
Taxes." FAS 109 is an asset and liability approach that requires
the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between
the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.
In estimating future tax consequences, FAS 109 generally
considers all expected future events other than enactments of
changes in the tax law or rates. The effect of adopting FAS 109
in 1993 was to increase net income by $252 which is shown as the
cumulative effect on prior years of changing to a different
method of accounting for income taxes on the 1993 income
statement.
The Corporation's effective tax rate was 29.27%, 27.31% and
27.89% in 1994, 1993 and 1992. The major differences between the
effective tax rate on the financial statements and the federal
statutory rate of 34% is interest income on tax exempt securities
and loans offset by nondeductible interest, nondeductible merger
expenses and state taxes. The Corporation had tax exempt income
of $2,576, $2,722 and $2,443 for 1994, 1993 and 1992. Note 13 to
the consolidated financial statements contains additional details<PAGE>
<PAGE>45
of the differences between the statutory taxes and taxes shown on
the consolidated financial statements.
Investments
The Corporation's holdings of short-term investments and
securities serve as a source of liquidity to meet depositor and
borrower funding requirements, in addition to being a significant
element of total interest income. Short-term investments,
defined as federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits in
other banks, had combined average outstanding balances of $7,099,
$14,104 and $18,675 for the years 1994, 1993 and 1992. The year
end outstanding balances of short-term investments were $8,193,
$16,236 and $39,892 for 1994, 1993 and 1992. The decreases in
short-term investments is due to large fluctuations in deposits
from public and governmental institutions which are invested in
federal funds sold at year end.
Effective December 31, 1993, the Corporation adopted Financial
Accounting Standard No. 115 (FAS 115), "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." With the adoption of
FAS 115, all securities were classified by management into one of
two categories either available for sale or held to maturity.
The Corporation does not maintain any securities that are held
for trading. Securities classified as available for sale are
securities that the Corporation intends to hold for an indefinite
period of time, but not necessarily until maturity. These
securities might be used by the Corporation as part of its asset-
liability strategy, or may be sold in response to changes in
interest rates, changes in prepayment risk or other similar
factors. Securities available for sale are carried at market
value with market adjustments, net of related deferred taxes,
being recorded in shareholders' equity as unrealized gain or loss
on securities. The decrease in market value of securities
available for sale during 1994 resulted in a decrease of $4,746
to the carrying value of securities and a $2,962 unrealized loss
on securities in shareholders' equity, which is net of the
deferred taxes of $1,783. The increase in market value of
securities available for sale in 1993 increased the carrying
value of securities by $1,132 and caused an unrealized gain on
securities of $712 in shareholders' equity, net of deferred taxes
of $420. The change in carrying value from 1993 to 1994 of
$5,877 for securities available for sale was caused by the market
change in investment products during 1994. Should rates continue
to increase during 1995 the portfolio will be subject to further
market valuation declines. Prior to December 31, 1993, and the
adoption of FAS 115, all securities owned by the Corporation were
classified as held to maturity. The following table shows the
detail of securities held by the Corporation at year end for the
past three years.

The market value of securities held to maturity was $38,707,
$40,734 and $168,031 for 1994, 1993 and 1992. The unrecognized
net market appreciation of securities held to maturity at
December 31, 1994, was comprised of securities with a book value
of $24,689 having a market value of $23,268, or a net unrealized
market decline of $1,421, and securities with a book value of
$15,006 having a market value of $15,439, or a net unrealized
market appreciation of $433.
The Corporation sold $9,451 with net losses of $6, had maturities
and calls of $37,328 and purchased $27,858 for a net book value
decrease of $19,348 in securities available for sale during 1994.
Maturities and calls of $3,232 and purchases of $4,020 resulted
in an increase to securities held to maturity of $838 during
1994. Total net proceeds from securities of $18,127 were used to
fund increased loans during 1994. Securities held to maturity
contain no material unrealized losses as of December 31, 1994.
None of the unrealized losses on securities are deemed to be
other than temporary declines in market values. Other than U.S.
Government and its agencies, there are no concentrations of
securities over 10% of shareholders' equity to any single issuer.
Loans
The loan portfolio constitutes the major earning asset of most
bank holding companies and typically offers the best alternative
for obtaining the maximum interest spread above the cost of
funds. The overall economic strength of any bank holding company
generally parallels the quality and yield of its loan portfolio.
The Corporation's total average loans were $299,919 in 1994 an
increase of $30,965 or 11.51% from 1993. The Corporation had
total average loans of $268,954 in 1993 a decrease of $889 or
.33% from the 1992 total average loans of $269,843. The

Commercial and agricultural loans increased $15,867 or 11.02% in
1994 from 1993 and increased $11,036 or 8.30% in 1993 from 1992.
The economy began to rebound in late 1992, and the Corporation
experienced a corresponding increase in new commercial and
agricultural loans starting in mid 1993 and continuing through
1994.
During 1991 the Corporation began originating and/or selling real
estate loans to the secondary mortgage market and established a
new asset category on the balance sheet, loans held for sale,
with balances of $2,664, $16,919, $11,553 and $12,198 at year end
1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991. These conforming fixed rate mortgage
loans could be sold to the secondary market with the Corporation
retaining more than 95% of the servicing rights on these loans
sold. This practice of originating and selling to the secondary
mortgage market was begun because of low interest rates on
mortgage loans which increased consumer demand for fixed rate
loans as opposed to adjustable rate mortgages loans. The
Corporation's strategy has been to hold fixed rate loans during
periods of decreasing rates and sell them during periods of
increasing rates to realize a gain. The portfolio of loans held
for sale at the end of 1993 plus new qualifying loans made during
1994 provided for total sales of $35,676 of these loans with a
corresponding net gain of $229. The Corporation also sold
$39,591, $19,873 and $1,027 of these real estate loans held for
sale in 1993, 1992 and 1991 with corresponding net gains of $265,
$109 and $5. With the drastic increase in fixed mortgage rates
consumers started to request variable rate mortgage loans in 1994
and real estate loans increased $18,100 or 29.50% in 1994 from
1993. During 1993 and prior years real estate loans were
reducing because almost all new loans and loans refinanced were
fixed rate loans and were included with loans held for sale.
Installment loans increased $10,000 or 13.77% in 1994 from 1993
and $10,929 or 17.71% in 1993 from 1992. These increases were
largely attributable to an overall increase in volume of consumer
loans during the period. Consumer lending relates directly to
consumer confidence in the economy which increased in the last
quarter of 1992 and continued to improve in 1993 and 1994.
The loan portfolio contains no loans to foreign governments,
foreign enterprises or foreign operations of domestic
corporations. Other than loans for real estate, equipment and
operating lines to farmers engaged in the agricultural industry,
the Corporation has no concentrations of loans in the same or
similar industries that exceed 10% of total loans.

Deposits
The deposit base provides the major funding source for earning
assets of most bank holding companies. Generally, demand,
savings and time certificates less than $100 are recognized as
the core base of deposits while certificates in excess of $100
and public funds are more subject to interest variations and,
thus, are not included in the core deposit base. Because of
these factors, management views the growth of demand, savings and
time certificates less than $100 as more stable growth. The
Corporation's total average core deposits were $404,766 in 1994,
$392,200 in 1993 and $383,053 in 1992. Total average deposits
were $448,324, $441,672 and $432,282 during 1994, 1993 and 1992.
The following table indicates the mix and levels of deposits at
year end for the preceding five years.

</TABLE>
Year end total deposits increased only $2,612 or .58% in 1994
from 1993 and only $1,151 or .25% in 1993 from 1992. During the
last quarter of 1994 with rates increasing, the Corporation
experienced deposit customers returning to the Banks from the
nonbanking institutions such as brokerage firms and insurance
companies. Despite the increase in the demand for deposit
dollars from other banks in the area, the Banks are trying to
increase net interest margin by keeping rates as low as possible.
As a result, the December 31, 1994, deposits saw only a $1,383 or
2.74% increase in noninterest bearing deposits, a decrease of
$5,074 or 2.67% in interest bearing demand and savings, a $3,106
or 1.84% increase in time deposits less than $100 and a $3,197 or
7.45% increase in time deposits over $100 when compared to
December 31, 1993. As stated above, average total deposits
increased $6,652 or 1.51% during 1994 when compared to 1993. At
the end of 1993 rates were still low and the Banks were
experiencing continued competition for deposits from nonbanking
institutions. The December 31, 1993, deposits saw an increase of
$2,082 or 4.30% in noninterest bearing deposits, a $7,880 or
4.33% increase in interest bearing demand and savings, a decrease
of $9,786 or 5.47% in time deposits less than $100 and an
increase of $975 or 2.33% in time deposits over $100 when
compared to December 31, 1992. Average deposits for 1993
increased $9,390 or 2.17% when compared to 1992. The year end
balances for 1991 and 1990 remained almost constant but did show
a $20,445 or 4.74% increase at year end 1992 compared to 1991.
As the economy was softening and rates were declining in 1991 and
1992 the Corporation saw customers becoming more rate conscious
and moving deposit balances to interest bearing deposits.
Average deposits increased $7,179 or 1.69% to $432,282 in 1992
compared to 1991 and increased $16,376 or 4.01% to $425,103 in
1991 from 1990. It should also be noted that the Corporation has
historically had a build up of deposits at year end due to an<PAGE>
<PAGE>49
influx of public funds.
As discussed in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements,
ANB has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase the total
branch deposits of a Federal Savings Bank in Princeton, Indiana.
This purchase is anticipated to be completed during the first
quarter of 1995 and should provide the Corporation with a
substantial increase in market share and liquidity through
deposit growth during 1995. Deposits of the Federal Savings Bank
branch being acquired were $26,021 at December 31, 1994.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
Liquidity and Rate Sensitivity
Cash flows for the Corporation occur within the operating,
investing and financing categories as follows: Cash flows from
operating activities emanate primarily from interest income and
fees reduced by interest expense and overhead expense. Investing
activities generate or use cash flows through the origination,
purchase and principal collections of loans; the purchase,
maturities and sales of investments; and the acquisition of
property and equipment for the Corporation. Cash flows from
financing activities occur from deposits and withdrawals of
deposit accounts, increases or decreases in short-term borrowings
and long-term debt, and dividends paid by the Corporation.
The Corporation's use and source of funds can be determined by
the changes in average balances of assets and liabilities. The
following table summarizes funding uses and sources for 1994 and
1993, showing average balances, amount of dollar change from
prior year and the percent change from the prior year.

Because of the fluctuation of interest rates on fixed rate
mortgage loans, carried as loans held for sale, the Corporation
sold $35,676 in 1994 and $39,591 in 1993 to the secondary
mortgage market and retained servicing rights on more the 95% of
the loans. As rates on fixed rate mortgage loans increase the
Corporation sells them to the secondary mortgage market to
eliminate the possibility of holding long-term loans at a below
market rate. Mortgage rates increased during 1994 and the
Corporation saw the volume of financing and refinancing of homes
decrease. With this volume decrease and the increase in rates,
the Corporation had a $6,849 decrease in average loans held for
sale during 1994 after having an increase of $15,133 during 1993
when rates were still increasing or remaining more stable.
Average taxable loans increased substantially during 1994
compared to 1993 after remaining almost constant during 1993
compared to 1992. The economy strengthened during 1993 and
continued into 1994 and consumer and commercial confidence
increased resulting in increases of $18,097 or 13.88% in average
commercial loans, $10,553 or 15.99% in average consumer loans and
$3,508 or 5.31% in average real estate loans during 1994 compared
to 1993. Average tax exempt loans decreased during 1994 and 1993
due to paydowns and payoffs and little demand as rates were
decreasing. Average taxable securities decreased during 1994 due
to maturities and calls and these cash flows being used by the
Corporation to fund loan growth. Average tax exempt securities
increased during both 1994 and 1993 as the Corporation had need
for tax exempt income in its tax planning and the tax equivalent
rates were higher than taxable securities. The Corporation did
have need for funds during parts of 1994 and 1993 and average
federal funds sold decreased in 1994 from 1993 and in 1993 from
1992. Federal funds sold represent overnight investments of
funds from known short-term depositors such as public and
government entities and short-term borrowings which are mainly
treasury tax deposits plus other excess cash waiting to be
invested in loans or securities. The total of all of the above
resulted in average funding uses increasing $12,366 during 1994
compared to 1993 and $10,406 or 2.26% in 1993 compared to 1992.
Average noninterest bearing deposits and average interest bearing
demand and savings deposits both increased in 1994 and 1993 as
the Corporation saw customers holding more cash in these accounts
due to the economic rebound and more activity. As rates began to
rebound in 1994 customers were hesitant to make deposits to time
deposits hoping that rates would continue to climb and average
time deposits decreased slightly in 1994 from 1993. While rates
remained low during 1993 and the Banks had great competition from
nonbank financial institutions, average time deposits decreased
compared to 1992. Short-term borrowings are a minor source of
funds and consist of customers' treasury tax deposits with the
government controlling when these funds are drawn down. During
1993 ANB became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Indianapolis (FHLB) and long-term debt is almost entirely from
the FHLB. These borrowings are at a fixed rate and are used for
specific fixed rate lending programs. Long-term debt also
includes deferred compensation as discussed in Note 10. Average
long-term debt increased in both 1994 and 1993 due to borrowings
from the FHLB and deferred compensation during 1994.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>52
The Corporation does anticipate a continued loan demand for 1995
but expects to be able to meet this demand with the increase in
deposits as discussed. Other than this, the Corporation does not
foresee any unusual demands on funds for capital outlays or
liquidity needs in the foreseeable future.
Outstanding loan commitments and customers' unused lines of
credit were $62,056 at December 31, 1994, which was an increase
of $10,166 or 19.59% from $51,890 at year end 1993. Standby
letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 1994, increased
$734 or 12.94% to $6,408 from $5,674 at year end 1993. Letters
of credit typically are not funded. To the extent, however, that
letters of credit, loan commitments and customers' unused lines
of credit require funding, these obligations will be met by the
normal conversion of short-term investments, which totalled
$8,193 at year end 1994, and the sale of loans held for sale plus
the increase in deposits discussed. Further liquidity, if
required, would be provided by conversion of securities available
for sale or other assets into cash or accessing sources of
incremental funding such as repurchase agreements or federal
funds purchased.
Two basic aspects of asset-liability management strategy are the
maintenance of adequate liquidity and the monitoring of the
interest sensitivity position.
Liquidity management is the process by which the Corporation
provides the continuing flow of funds necessary to meet all of
its financial commitments on a timely basis. These commitments
include meeting depositor withdrawals, funding credit commitments
to borrowers, repaying debt when due and paying operating
expenses and dividends. Liquidity can be provided, in part, in
the normal course of business from cash flows generated from
interest and fee income, maturing assets and new deposits.
The table below illustrates certain relationships used to measure
the liquidity position of a financial institution and relates
these indices to the Corporation for 1994 and 1993.

Volatile liability dependence - %..................... (6.10) (12.29)
</TABLE>
Short-term investments consist of federal funds sold, interest
bearing deposits in other banks and securities that will mature
or reprice within one year. The ratio of short-term investments
to total assets measures the liquidity of the Corporation over a
one year time interval. The 1994 decrease in the short-term
investments ratio was due to a combination of a decrease of
$8,346 or 54.39% in federal funds sold, a decrease of $9,943 or
13.54% in securities and a decrease of $195 or 24.68% in interest
bearing deposits in other banks for a total decrease of $18,484
or 20.63% at December 31, 1994 from 1993 compared to a $3,404 or
.66% increase in total assets at year end 1994 from 1993. The
volatile liability dependence ratio is defined as certificates of
deposit in denominations of $100 or more less short-term
investments divided by total loans plus long-term investments. <PAGE>
<PAGE>53
The Corporation has a negative volatile liability dependence
ratio, which indicates the existence of excess liquidity. In
contrast, a positive ratio would indicate a possible need for
liquidity. The 1994 increase in the volatile liability
dependence ratio from 1993 was due to an increase of $3,197 or
7.45% in certificates of deposits with balances of $100 or more
and a decrease of $18,484 or 20.63% in short-term investments as
described above while loans increased $44,008 or 15.88% and long-
term investments decreased $13,947 or 13.55% at December 31, 1994
from 1993.
Interest rate sensitivity occurs when assets or liabilities are
subject to rate and yield changes within a designated time
period. The rate sensitivity position, or gap, is determined by
the difference in the amount of rate sensitive assets and rate
sensitive liabilities at various maturity intervals. The
management of this gap position is required to protect the net
interest rates and to assure a greater degree of earnings
stability. Provided below is various repricing information
relative to securities, loans and deposits at December 31, 1994.

Rate sensitive gap is defined as the difference between the
repricing of interest earning assets and the repricing of
interest bearing liabilities within certain defined time frames.
Rate sensitive gap is also expressed as a percentage of total
assets based upon the accumulation of the defined time frame gap
calculation. Rate sensitive gaps constantly change as funds are<PAGE>
<PAGE>56
acquired and invested and the Corporation's analysis as of
December 31, 1994, is shown above. As of year end 1994, the
Corporation had a negative gap of $105,768 and 20.49% during the
next one year period with a negative gap of $147,236 and 28.53%
relating to the first quarter of 1995. The effect of these
negative gaps may result in a negative impact on earnings in 1995
if interest rates increase, but could result in a positive impact
on earnings if interest rates decline in 1995. The above rate
sensitivity analysis is significantly impacted by the inclusion
of savings and demand deposits in the first quarter of the gap
analysis. These deposits have historically not exhibited the
same degree of sensitivity to rate changes as other liabilities
because deposit rates are set by the Corporation. If the above
analysis were changed to reflect the Corporations' actual
historical results, the savings and demand deposits would be
moved to the one to five year time frame. With this change the
Corporation would have a positive gap of $79,202 or 15.35% during
the next one year period and a positive gap of $37,734 or 7.31%
relating to the first quarter of 1995.
Capital
The Corporation's shareholders' equity at December 31, 1994, was
$49,037, an increase of $77 or .16% from the December 31, 1993,
total of $48,960. With the adoption of FAS 115, as disclosed in
Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation
had a mark-to-market adjustment for securities available for sale
of a negative $2,962 at December 31, 1994, and a positive $712 at
December 31, 1993, which are included in shareholders' equity as
unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale. The
Corporation's regulators have issued guidelines stating that this
unrealized gain or loss on securities, other than those related
to mutual funds (FAS 115 adjustments), should not be included in
shareholders' equity for capital ratio calculations. The
Corporation's shareholders' equity, as defined by its regulators,
increased $3,735 or 7.75% to $51,952 at December 31, 1994, from
$48,217 at December 31, 1993.
Capital adequacy in the banking industry is evaluated primarily
by the use of three required capital ratios based on three
separate calculations; leverage capital, Tier 1 risk-based
capital and total risk-based capital. The leverage capital ratio
is defined as total ending Tier 1 capital divided by total
average assets less intangible assets and FAS 115 adjustments.
Tier 1 risk-based capital is defined as Tier 1 capital divided by
risk-weighted assets. Total risk-based capital is defined as
Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital divided by risk-weighted
assets. Tier 1 capital is the sum of the core capital elements
(common shareholders equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock
and minority interest in the equity accounts of consolidated
subsidiaries) less intangible assets and the FAS 115 adjustments.
Tier 2 capital consists of the allowance for loan losses (limited
to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets), perpetual
preferred stock, and other hybrid capital instruments. Risk-
weighted assets are defined to include the assets on the balance
sheet and off-balance sheet financial instruments in broad risk
categories that are weighted at 20% to 100% depending on the
asset totals within these defined broad categories.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>57
A well capitalized institution is defined as an institution with
a leverage capital ratio of 5% or better, and an adequately
capitalized institution is defined as an institution with a
leverage capital ratio of 4%. The Corporation currently meets

PENDING ACQUISITIONS
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
As described in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Corporation has entered into a definitive agreement to
acquire First Robinson Bancorp (FRB), the parent holding company
for the First National Bank in Robinson, Illinois. Consummation
of the transaction remains subject to the receipt of the
appropriate regulatory approvals, approval by shareholders of FRB
and satisfaction of other conditions. The transaction will be
accounted for under the pooling of interests method, and
accordingly, the future consolidated financial statements of the
Corporation will be retroactively restated to include the assets,
liabilities, equity, income and expenses of FRB for all prior
<PAGE>
<PAGE>59
periods. The Corporation has offered between 555,075 and 666,090
shares of its common stock for all of the outstanding shares of
FRB. The actual number of shares of the Corporation's stock to
be issued for FRB will be based upon the actual market value of
the Corporation's stock immediately prior to the consummation of
the transaction.
The following table sets forth net income per share and
shareholders equity per share on a pro forma basis as if the FRB
acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 1994. The pro forma
information is prepared based upon the issuance of 610,582 (the
mean between 555,075 plus 666,090) common shares of the
Corporation in exchange for all common shares of FRB.

</TABLE>
The pro forma 1994 data may not be indicative of the results that
actually would have occurred if the FRB acquisition had occurred
at the beginning of 1994, or that may be obtained in the future.
Management anticipates that the FRB acquisition will initially be
dilutive to earnings per share, however, management also believes
that this dilution will be recovered through strategic advantages
to the Corporation in future years.
As described in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements,
ANB entered into a definitive purchase and assumption agreement
with a Federal Savings Bank to purchase the building and the
outstanding deposits at the date of closing, of their Princeton,
Indiana branch. The transaction is anticipated to be completed
during the first quarter of 1995 and will be accounted for as a
purchase. The transaction will create approximately $1,850 of
goodwill which will be amortized to expense over the next fifteen
years. Total deposits of the Federal Savings Bank branch to be
acquired were $26,021 as of December 31, 1994.
PENDING CHANGES
As described in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Corporation will be subject to Financial Accounting Standard
No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan"
starting in 1995. Under this standard if the measured value of
expected future cash flows of an impaired loan is less than the
loan balance, the loan should be written down. The Corporation
has determined that the impact of this standard will be
immaterial to its financial statements.
INFLATION
For a financial institution, effects of price changes and
inflation vary considerably from an industrial organization.
Changes in the prices of goods and services are the primary
determinant of an industrial company's profit, whereas changes in
interest rates have a major impact on a financial institution's<PAGE>
<PAGE>60
profitability. Inflation affects the growth of total assets, but
it is difficult to assess its impact because neither the timing
nor the magnitude of the changes in the consumer price index
directly coincide with changes in interest rates.
During periods of high inflation there are normally corresponding
increases in the money supply. During such times financial
institutions often experience above average growth in loans and
deposits. Also, general increases in the prices of goods and
services will result in increased operation expenses. Over the
past few years the rate of inflation has been relatively low, and
its impact on the growth in the balance sheets and increased
levels of income and expense has been nominal.
