          and P.T.C. Bancorp Announce Plans to Merge

                              
Robert E. Hoptry, Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Indiana United Bancorp ("IUBC") and James L.
Saner, Sr., President and Chief Executive Officer of P.T.C.
Bancorp ("PTC") today jointly announced they have reached an
agreement in principle which is expected to lead to a merger
of the two Indiana community banking companies.

The agreement in principle provides that PTC shareholders
will receive 1.075 shares of IUBC stock in exchange for each
share of PTC.  The parties view the proposed transaction as
a merger of equals, with the combined entity retaining the
name of Indiana United Bancorp and holding assets totaling
almost $650 million.

Hoptry will continue as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
and Saner will be President and Chief Operating Officer.
The consolidated board of directors will be comprised of an
equal number of directors from each organization.

Hoptry stated, "The proximity of markets, the compatibility
of business philosophy and our mutual commitment to customer
service provide a foundation for this merger.  PTC's strong
earnings and experienced management will add value to our
organization and we expect the merger will be accretive soon
after the transaction is completed."

Saner added, "Indiana United is a strongly capitalized, well
managed company with a history of high asset quality.  We
believe this merger offers our shareholders exceptional
value and improved liquidity, while allowing us to continue
our commitment to community banking."

million.

IUBC is headquartered in Greensburg, Indiana and operates

southern and eastern Indiana.

Upon completion of the merger, IUBC will operate 28 offices

The transaction is subject to the execution of a definitive
merger agreement, various regulatory approvals and the
approval of the shareholders of both organizations.  It is
