                          1ST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
           Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                            and Results of Operations

(a)  Financial Condition:

On December  16,  1995,  1ST BANCORP  completed  the sale of certain  assets and
certain  liabilities ( the "Branch  Sales") of two retail branch  offices of its
thrift  subsidiary,  First Federal Bank, A Federal Savings Bank ("First Federal"
or the "Bank"),  to two of STAR Financial  Group,  Inc.'s  subsidiary banks (the
"Purchasers").  STAR Financial Bank,  Marion,  Indiana ("STAR Marion") purchased
certain  assets and assumed  certain  liabilities of First Federal Bank's retail
branch office located in Kokomo,  Indiana.  STAR Financial  Bank,  Indianapolis,
Indiana  ("STAR  Indianapolis")  purchased  certain  assets and assumed  certain
liabilities of First Federal's retail branch office located in Tipton, Indiana.

The sale of the branch offices included  approximately $78.5 million in deposits
and $28.4  million in mortgage and consumer  loans.  The sale also  included the
retail  branch  offices'  premises  and  equipment.  The Bank  transferred  cash
totaling  approximately  $41.4 million to the Purchasers in connection  with the
branch sales. The sale contributed  approximately  $4.5 million after tax to 1ST
BANCORP's stockholders' equity.

Total assets at March 31, 1996, were $273,122,000, a decrease of $39,637,000, or
12.67%,  from total assets of  $312,759,000  at June 30, 1995.  The reduction in
total  assets is  attributable  to lower  levels  of cash and cash  equivalents,
investment  securities,  and loans receivable.  These reduced levels were due in
large part to the Branch Sales.

Cash and cash equivalents  declined by $6,979,000,  or 40.27%, to $10,353,000 at
March 31, 1996,  from  $17,332,000 at June 30, 1995. The decreased cash accounts
were  attributable  primarily  to increased  mortgage  loan  production  and the
funding of normal business operations.

Investment securities consist primarily of U.S. Agency securities.  The majority
of securities have either a "call" or "step-up" feature, which provides the Bank
with flexibility  under varying  interest rate scenarios.  In a falling interest
rate  environment,  the securities  with a "call" feature would be called by the
issuer.  The rates paid on the "step-up"  securities  increase after a period of
time.  Generally,  the rates increase on the  securities  several times prior to
maturity.

The level of investment  securities held to maturity (including  mortgage-backed
securities)  decreased to $44,653,000,  a decline of $27,352,000,  or 37.99%, at
March 31, 1996, from  $72,005,000 at June 30, 1995. The most  significant  cause
for the decline was the reclassification of investment  securities from the held
to maturity portfolio to the available for sale portfolio. Investment securities
available for sale (including mortgage-backed securities) totaled $10,761,000 at
March 31, 1996,  compared  with no investment  securities  available for sale at
June 30, 1995.

The most  significant  factor in the  reclassification  and  subsequent  sale of
securities was to provide cash to fund the deposits sold in conjunction with the
Branch Sales during the quarter ended December 31, 1995. The reclassification of
investment  securities from the held to maturity  portfolio to the available for
sale portfolio occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 1995 in accordance
with the FASB Special  Report,  "A Guide to  Implementation  of Statement 115 on
Accounting  for Certain  Investments in Debt and Equity  Securities,"  which was
issued November 15, 1995. The investment securities that were reclassified had a
carrying value of  $45,838,000  and a market value of $46,061,000 at the time of
transfer.

Net loans  receivable  declined by  $57,217,000,  or 28.35%,  to $144,602,000 at
March 31, 1996,  from  $201,819,000 at June 30, 1995. The causes for the reduced
level of net loans  receivable  are two-fold.  First,  loans sold as part of the
Branch Sales totaled  $28,369,000  during the quarter  ended  December 31, 1995.
These loans consisted primarily of loans secured by one-to-four family dwellings
and  secured  and  unsecured  consumer  loans in the Tipton and Kokomo  markets.
Second,  the  reclassification  of approximately  $37.6 million of single family
mortgage  loans  from  the  held to  maturity  portfolio  to the  held  for sale
portfolio during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 contributed to the lower level
of net loans  receivable.  These  loans are  included in the loans held for sale
category on the Consolidated  Condensed  Statement of Financial  Condition as of
March 31, 1996 and are scheduled to be sold in the fourth quarter of fiscal year
1996.

Loans held for sale  increased by  $42,933,000  to $48,037,000 at March 31, 1996
from  $5,104,000  at  June  30,  1995.  The  increase  is  attributable  to  the
aforementioned loan reclassification and increased mortgage loan production.

The reclassification of mortgage loans is primarily driven by the Bank's efforts
to expand its net interest  margin.  It is  anticipated  that the funds from the
sale of the reclassified  segment of the current mortgage portfolio will be used
to fund  the  origination  of  non-conforming  mortgage  loans.  Typically,  the
non-conforming  mortgage  loans  produce  higher  rates than  conforming  loans.
Therefore, by replacing the reclassified mortgage loans, which are predominantly
conforming loans, with  non-conforming  loans,  asset yields should increase and
thus, the net interest margin should increase.

Loan production  during the nine months ended March 31, 1996 increased  compared
to the same  period of the prior year.  During the nine  months  ended March 31,
1996, the Bank funded $125.7 million of loans compared to $91.1 million of loans
during the nine months ended March 31, 1995.  As the  economic  environment  has
changed,  the Bank has  continued to develop new mortgage loan products to serve
its customers.  During fiscal 1995, the Bank developed a wholesale nonconforming
mortgage loan network as a means of augmenting its  traditional  conforming loan
markets.

During the first half of fiscal year 1996, a retail non-conforming mortgage loan
program was implemented within the Bank's loan origination network. The Bank has
continued  its  expansion  into new  markets for both the  wholesale  and retail
non-conforming  mortgage loan  segments.  During the nine months ended March 31,
1996,  non-conforming  mortgage lending constituted $39.6 million, or 31.50%, of
total loans  funded  during the period.  During the nine months  ended March 31,
1996,  $13.1  million of these  loans were sold on a  non-recourse  basis in the
non-conforming  secondary  market.  The  remainder of the loans,  typically  the
highest  quality  loans,  are retained in portfolio to increase the net interest
margin,  and in the case of  adjustable  rate product,  to reduce  interest rate
risk.

Asset quality remains strong. At March 31, 1996,  non-performing  assets totaled
$842,000 or .31% of total assets.  This  compares to $545,000 of  non-performing
assets,   or  .17%  of  total  assets,   at  June  30,  1995.  The  increase  in
non-performing  assets was the result of single family loans becoming 90 days or
more past due.

The  table  below  sets  forth  the  amounts  and  categories  of 1ST  BANCORP's
non-performing  assets (non-accrual loans and other  non-performing  assets) for
the balance sheet dates presented.  Loans are reviewed  regularly and are placed
on non-accrual status when they become contractually past due 90 days or more.

During the nine  months  ended March 31,  1996,  the Bank  established,  through
operations,  provisions for loan losses totaling $60,000. In addition,  the Bank
realized  net  charge-offs  through  its  allowance  for loan loss  accounts  of
$39,000.  The Bank's  allowance for loan loss was $899,000 at March 31, 1996 and
$878,000 at June 30, 1995.

Prepaid  expenses  and other  assets  decreased  by  $1,027,000,  or 17.35%,  to
$4,894,000  at March 31, 1996,  from  $5,921,000  at June 30, 1995.  The largest
decrease  in  this  category,  purchased  mortgage  servicing  rights  ("PMSR"),
decreased by $1,274,000 to $158,000 at March 31, 1996,  from  $1,432,000 at June
30,  1995.  Offsetting  the  decrease in PMSR were  increases  in various  other
prepaid  expenses and other asset accounts the most significant of which was the
capitalization  of mortgage  servicing rights for loans that were originated and
sold by the Bank with servicing retained by the Bank.

The  majority  of the  decrease  of PMSR  was due to a  $161.1  million  sale of
mortgage servicing rights during the first quarter of fiscal year 1996. PMSR had
been  previously  recognized  on a significant  portion of the servicing  rights
sold. The sale of servicing rights was executed primarily to mitigate prepayment
risk.  Mortgage loans serviced for other owners  decreased by  $117,440,000,  to
$74,849,000 at March 31, 1996, from $192,289,000 at June 30, 1995.

As of July 1, 1995,  the Bank  adopted the  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 122 ("SFAS 122"), "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights." This
statement  amended  FASB  Statement  No. 65,  "Accounting  for Certain  Mortgage
Banking Activities," to require that a mortgage banking enterprise recognize, as
separate  assets,  rights to service  mortgage  loans for others  however  those
servicing rights are acquired.  For the nine months ended March 31, 1996, and in
conjunction  with the  adoption  of SFAS 122,  the Bank  recognized  $503,000 of
servicing  rights on loans that were  originated  through  its loan  origination
network and retail banking offices.  The Bank had definitive plans to sell these
mortgage  loans and retain the  servicing  rights.  These  servicing  rights are
included in the "Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets" category on the Statement of
Financial Condition.

Total deposits decreased by $70,568,000, or 33.64%, to $139,237,000 at March 31,
1996 from $209,805,000 at June 30, 1995. The primary cause for the reduced level
of deposits  was the Branch  Sales.  Deposits  sold as part of the Branch  Sales
totaled $78,473,000.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and other borrowings increased
by $28,454,000, or 35.84%, to $107,841,000 at March 31, 1996 from $79,387,000 at
June 30,  1995.  The  increase in borrowed  money was used  primarily  to fund a
portion of the deposits  sold as part of the Branch Sales and to fund  increased
loan production from the loan origination office network.

Advance  payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance  decreased by $1,498,000,
or 64.54%,  to $823,000 at March 31, 1996 from  $2,321,000 at June 30, 1995. The
sale of  servicing  rights  during the first half of fiscal  1996 was  primarily
responsible for the lower level of escrow held by the Bank. The sale of mortgage
loans as part of the Branch Sales also contributed to the decline.

Accrued expenses and other  liabilities  decreased by $1,488,000,  or 36.84%, to
$2,551,000  at March 31,  1996,  from  $4,039,000  at June 30,  1995.  Primarily
responsible  for the  decreased  level of accrued  expenses was a lower level of
accrued  income taxes  payable due to the timing of estimated  federal and state
income tax payments made throughout the fiscal year.


(b)  Results of Operations:

During the three months  ended March 31,  1996,  1ST BANCORP had net earnings of
$345,000,  or $0.52 per share on a fully-diluted basis, compared to net earnings
of $195,000,  or $0.30 per share on a fully-diluted  basis, for the three months
ended March 31, 1995.  During the nine months ended March 31, 1996,  1ST BANCORP
had net earnings of  $5,415,000,  or $8.10 per share on a  fully-diluted  basis,
compared to net earnings of  $1,310,000,  or $2.00 per share on a  fully-diluted
basis,  for the nine months  ended March 31,  1995.  The  increased  three month
earnings were primarily the result of lower non-interest expenses. The increased
nine months earnings were primarily the result of increased non-interest income,
more  specifically the Branch Sales,  and to a lesser degree lower  non-interest
expenses.

Net interest  income  before  provision for loan losses was  $1,515,000  for the
three months ended March 31, 1996,  compared to $1,530,000  for the three months
ended March 31, 1995. Net interest  income before  provision for loan losses was
$4,784,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996,  compared to $4,961,000 for
the nine months ended March 31, 1995. The interest rate margin was 2.42% for the
three months  ended March 31, 1996  compared to 2.13% for the three months ended
March 31,  1995.  The excess of  interest-earning  assets over  interest-bearing
liabilities was greater during the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared
to the three  months ended March 31, 1995 which  allowed net interest  income to
remain stable and the net interest margin as a percent of total assets to expand
despite the Bank's reduced size.

The  interest  rate  margin was 2.33% for the nine  months  ended March 31, 1996
compared  to 2.45% for the nine  months  ended  March  31,  1995.  The  narrowed
interest rate margin is primarily responsible for the lower net interest income.
The  accumulation  of cash to fund the deposits sold as part of the Branch Sales
throughout  the three months ended  December 31, 1995  contributed to the Bank's
lower net interest margin for the nine month period.  The funds were invested at
overnight  funds rates and  therefore  decreased the yield which could have been
realized through alternative investments.

Non-interest  income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 totaled  $706,000
compared to $684,000 for the three  months  ended March 31,  1995.  Non-interest
income for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 totaled  $9,591,000  compared to
$2,690,000 for the nine months ended

                            and Results of Operations

March 31,  1995.  The  higher  level of non  interest  income for the nine month
period ended March 31,  1996,  as compared to the same period of the prior year,
was directly attributable to the Branch Sales.

Fee and service  charge income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 totaled
$66,000  compared to $278,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995. Fee and
service charge income for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 totaled  $213,000
compared to $762,000 for the nine months  ended March 31,  1995.  A  significant
decline in the Bank's  mortgage  loan  servicing  portfolio,  which  resulted in
reduced loan servicing fee income,  was the primary  factor that  contributed to
the lower  fee and  service  charge  income.  The  reduced  servicing  portfolio
resulted from sales of servicing  during the fourth  quarter of fiscal year 1995
and the first quarter of fiscal year 1996.

The net loss on the sale of investment securities available for sale and trading
account  investments  for the three months ended March 31, 1996 totaled  $42,000
compared to a net gain of $13,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995. The
net loss on the sale of  investment  securities  available  for sale and trading
account  investments  for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 totaled  $164,000
compared to a net gain of $14,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1995.  The
net loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1996  resulted  primarily
from the sale of  investment  securities  available  for sale  that were sold in
order to fund the sale of  deposits  that  was a part of the  Branch  Sales.  In
addition,  sales of investment securities available for sale occurred during the
three months ended March 31, 1996 to fund increased loan  production.  There was
only minimal  activity in the investment  trading account during the nine months
ended March 31, 1995.

The net gain on the sale of loans  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996
totaled $498,000 compared to $143,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995.
The net gain on the sale of loans  (excluding  loans  sold as part of the Branch
Sales) for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 totaled  $1,494,000  compared to
$293,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1995. The increased gain on sale of
loans was  attributable to a higher volume of loan  originations  and subsequent
loan  sales.  Also  contributing  to the  increased  gain on sale of  loans  was
adoption  of SFAS  122 by the  Bank as of July 1,  1995.  The  Bank  capitalized
$159,000 and $503,000 of mortgage  servicing  rights on originated  loans during
the  three  and nine  month  periods  ended  March 31,  1996,  respectively,  in
accordance with SFAS 122, thus resulting in an increased gain on sale of loans.

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

The largest increase in total  non-interest  income was the net gain on the sale
of branch  offices.  The Branch Sales  produced a pre-tax net gain of $7,274,000
for the nine month period  ending March 31, 1996.  The gain was derived from the
deposit  premium,  gain on sale of mortgage and consumer loans,  and gain on the
sale of the branch offices' real estate.

"Other"  non-interest  income for the three  months ended March 31, 1996 totaled
$184,000 compared to $250,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995. "Other"
non-interest  income for the nine months ended March 31, 1996  totaled  $774,000
compared  to  $1,621,000  for the nine  months  ended  March 31,  1995.  "Other"
non-interest  income was  modestly  lower for the three month period ended March
31, 1996 due  primarily to lower levels of deposit  accounts  that resulted from
the Branch  Sales.  "Other"  non-interest  income was lower for the nine  months
ended March 31, 1996 as compared  with the nine months  ended March 31, 1995 due
primarily to lower gain on the sale of mortgage loan servicing  rights.  For the
nine months ended March 31, 1996, the gain on sale of servicing totaled $237,000
compared with $988,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1995.

Non-interest  expense was  $1,643,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
compared to $1,914,000  for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  Non-interest
expense was  $5,652,000  for the nine months ended March 31,  1996,  compared to
$5,554,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1995. The primary reasons for the
decrease in  non-interest  expense for the three  months ended March 31, 1996 as
compared  with the same  period for the prior year were lower  compensation  and
employee  benefit  expenses.  Compensation  expense was lower primarily due to a
lower level of  employees  that  resulted  from the Branch  Sales.  Non-interest
expense was modestly higher for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 as compared
with the same  period  of the  prior  year due to  minor  increases  in  various
operating expenses.


(c)  Capital Resources and Liquidity:

The  Corporation is subject to regulation as a savings and loan holding  company
by the Office of Thrift  Supervision  ("OTS").  First  Federal  Bank,  A Federal
Savings Bank, as a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company,  is subject
to  certain  restrictions  in its  dealings  with the  Corporation.  The Bank is
subject to the regulatory requirements applicable to a federal savings bank.

Current  capital  regulations  require  savings  institutions  to  have  minimum
tangible  capital  equal to 1.5% of total  assets and a minimum 3% core  capital
ratio.  Additionally,  savings  institutions  are  required to meet a risk-based
capital ratio equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. At March 31, 1996, the Bank
met all current capital requirements.

The  following  is a  summary  of the  Bank's  regulatory  capital  and  capital
requirements at March 31, 1996:

                               Tangible          Core        Risk-Based

During the quarter ended March 31, 1996,  1ST BANCORP paid a $0.10  dividend per
share to shareholders. This is the fourteenth consecutive quarterly dividend 1ST
BANCORP has paid to  shareholders.  In addition,  during the quarter ended March
31, 1996, 1ST BANCORP paid a 5% stock dividend to shareholders.

Liquidity  measures the Bank's ability to meet savings  withdrawals  and lending
commitments.  Management  believes  that  liquidity  is adequate to meet current
requirements,  including  the funding of  $31,805,000  in loan  commitments  and
$1,434,000 of loans in process  outstanding  at March 31, 1996.  The majority of
these commitments are expected to be funded within the three month period ending
June 30,  1996.  At March  31,  1996,  the Bank had  $6,376,000  in  outstanding
commitments  to sell mortgage  loans and  mortgage-backed  securities.  The Bank
maintains  liquidity of at least 5% of net  withdrawable  assets.  The liquidity
ratio at March 31, 1996 was 11.17%.


(d) Proposed Legislation

Congress  is  currently  considering  a number of  alternatives  to address  the
problems  arising from the fact that FDIC deposit  insurance  premiums for banks
are  currently  lower than those for savings  associations  and for  deposits of
savings  associations that have been acquired by banks.  Congress is considering
provisions  proposed  by the House  Banking  Committee  which would (1) impose a
one-time  assessment  on thrift  deposits  of 70 to 85 basis  points to build up
SAIF's  reserves,  (2) merge BIF and SAIF at some  time in the  future,  and (3)
require banks to pay the bulk of the interest due on Financing Corp. bonds.

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

These  same  provisions  have been  proposed  by the Senate  Banking  Committee,
although its proposed  legislation would provide for a lower one-time assessment
for banks which had acquired SAIF deposits.

In addition,  the House Banking  Committee  proposal would  eliminate the 8% bad
debt reserve  deduction now permitted  for savings  associations,  but would not
require  savings  associations  to pay taxes on  accumulated  bad debt reserves.
Moreover,  all thrift holding companies would be required to become bank holding
companies  by  January 1, 1998.  The OTS would be  abolished.  Powers of unitary
savings and loan holding  companies would be  grandfathered  (to the extent they
exist under  existing law) until the holding  company or savings  association is
sold.  Such unitary holding  companies would be subject to the qualified  thrift
lender test and limits on commercial lending.  Savings associations would either
be required to convert to a state bank or  national  bank  charter by January 1,
1998.  Except with respect to unitary savings and loan companies,  activities of
those new banks not permitted to commercial banks would have to terminate within
four years.

Under some of the proposals being  considered by Congress,  the FDIC's authority
to build reserves beyond 1.25% would be limited. It is difficult at this time to
assess  whether or how Congress will address the SAIF/BIF  premium  differential
and, if so, what impact its legislative solution to the problem will have on the
Corporation and its subsidiaries.

There are no other known trends,  events,  or  uncertainties,  including current
recommendations  by  regulatory  authorities,  that  should  have,  or that  are
reasonably  likely  to  have,  a  material  effect  on  the  liquidity,  capital
resources, or operations of 1ST BANCORP.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Bank and Amcore  Mortgage,  Inc. were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed
on March 2, 1995 in the United States  District Court for the Northern  District
of Illinois.  The plaintiffs sued on their own behalf and on behalf of purported
classes.  In their multiple  count  complaint,  the plaintiffs  alleged that the
defendants  assessed escrow deposits in excess of the amount allowed by mortgage
contracts and in violation of the law and failed to disclose to their  borrowers
material  information  pertaining to private  mortgage  insurance  ("PMI").  The
plaintiffs  sued for  damages,  punitive  damages,  attorney  fees,  costs,  and
declaratory  and  injunctive  relief.  With  respect  to  escrow  deposits,  the
plaintiffs alleged that Bank practices breached the terms of mortgage contracts,
constituted unfair and deceptive trade practices in violation of state laws, and
violated the Racketeer  Influenced and Corrupt  Organization  statute  ("RICO").
With respect to private  mortgage  insurance,  the plaintiffs  alleged that Bank
practices constituted unfair and deceptive trade practices.  The plaintiffs seek
to represent nationwide classes of borrowers who allegedly were damaged by these
practices.  The Bank and the plaintiffs have entered into an agreement to settle
the  mortgage  escrow  claims  with a  defined  class.  The court  approved  the
settlement  agreement at a hearing held on May 6, 1996. The settlement agreement
provides  for the  dismissal  with  prejudices  of the  mortgage  escrow  claims
asserted by the defined  class  against the Bank.  It also provides that the PMI
claims, which were not being settled, will be dismissed without prejudices.  The
settlement is for an amount less than that which has been reserved by the Bank.

First  Federal is involved in two other  lawsuits  that are not in the  ordinary
course of business. The first involves a discrimination complaint filed with the
U.S.  Department of Housing and Urban  Development  pursuant to the Fair Housing
Act.  The second  lawsuit was filed by a title  company  involved  in  providing
closing  services for a mortgage loan that was purchased by First Federal from a
third party  mortgage  company  subsequent to closing,  and alleges the mortgage
company was acting as an agent for First Federal and failed to provide funds for
closing the  transaction  in exchange for the note and deed of trust.  It is the
opinion of management that, based on current information available, the ultimate
resolutions  of these  matters  will not have a material  adverse  affect on the
Corporation's financial position.

Other than the above,  neither 1ST BANCORP nor First  Federal is involved in any
legal  proceedings,  other than  routine  proceedings  occurring in the ordinary
course of its business.
