MERGERS

     IFC MERGER.  Effective August 1, 1997, pursuant to the terms of the

Merger"), with Pinnacle being the surviving corporation.  Thus, on August 1, 
1997, (i) the separate corporate existence of IFC terminated, (ii) Pinnacle 
succeeded to the assets and liabilities of IFC, and (iii) each outstanding 
share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of IFC (the "IFC Common 
Stock") (other than certain shares specified in the IFC Merger Agreement) was 
automatically converted into the right to receive one (1) share of common 
stock, no par value, of Pinnacle (the "Pinnacle Common Stock").  Each share 
of Pinnacle Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to consummation of the 
IFC Merger remains outstanding and unchanged as a result of the IFC Merger.  

     CB MERGER.  Effective August 1, 1997, pursuant to the terms of the 
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 1, 1997 (the "CB Merger 
Agreement"), between Pinnacle and CB Bancorp, Inc. ("CB"), CB was merged with 
and into Pinnacle (the "CB Merger"), with Pinnacle being the surviving 
corporation.  Thus, on August 1, 1997, (i) the separate corporate existence 
of CB terminated, (ii) Pinnacle succeeded to the assets and liabilities of 
CB, and (iii) each outstanding share of common stock, $0.01 par value per 
share, of CB (the "CB Common Stock") (other than certain shares specified in 
the CB Merger Agreement) was automatically converted into the right to 
receive 1.209 shares of Pinnacle Common Stock.  No fractional shares of 
Pinnacle Common Stock will be issued, but instead any fractional share 
amounts shall be paid in cash on the basis of $28.938 per whole share value.  
Each share of Pinnacle Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to 
consummation of the CB Merger remains outstanding and unchanged as a result 
of the CB Merger.  

     SUBSIDIARY BANK MERGERS.  Effective August 1, 1997, in connection with 
the IFC Merger, and pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and 
Consolidation between Indiana Federal Bank for Savings, a federal savings 
bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of IFC ("IndFed Bank"), and Pinnacle Bank, a 
Michigan banking corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pinnacle, IndFed 
Bank was merged with and into Pinnacle Bank.  

     Effective August 1, 1997, in connection with the CB Merger, and pursuant 
to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Consolidation between Community Bank, 
A Federal Savings Bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of CB, and Pinnacle Bank, 
Community Bank, A Federal Savings Bank was merged with and into Pinnacle Bank.

MERGER CONSIDERATION

     IFC MERGER.  Upon consummation of the IFC Merger, each outstanding share 
of IFC Common Stock (other than certain shares specified in the IFC Merger 
Agreement) was automatically converted into the right to receive one (1) 
share of Pinnacle Common Stock.  The foregoing ratio of exchange of one (1) 
share of Pinnacle Common Stock for each share of IFC Common Stock was 
determined through arms-length negotiations between Pinnacle and IFC, each of 
which was advised during such negotiations by its respective financial 
advisor.

     Upon effectiveness of the IFC Merger, each option granted by IFC to 
purchase shares of IFC Common Stock which was outstanding and unexercised 
immediately prior thereto (excluding any and all rights in respect of shares 
of IFC Common Stock (the "IFC Rights") which were issued and outstanding 
subject to the terms and conditions of the Stockholder Protection Rights 
Agreement dated as of February 26, 1992, as amended by the Amendment to 
Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement dated as of November 14, 1996, 
between IFC and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as Rights Agent, all of which 
IFC Rights

                                     -2-

were redeemed, and thereby extinguished, terminated and cancelled without any 
right of exercise, prior to the effectiveness of the IFC Merger) ceased to 
represent a right to acquire shares of IFC Common Stock and were converted 
automatically into an option to purchase shares of Pinnacle Common Stock in 
the same amount and at the same exercise price subject to the terms of the 
IFC benefit plans under which they were issued.

     Upon effectiveness of the IFC Merger, each option granted by Pinnacle to 
purchase shares of Pinnacle Common Stock which was outstanding and 
unexercised immediately prior thereto continues to represent a right to 
acquire shares of Pinnacle Common Stock and remains an issued and outstanding 
option to purchase from Pinnacle, as the surviving corporation, shares of 
Pinnacle Common Stock in the same amount and at the same exercise price 
subject to the terms of the Pinnacle benefit plans under which they were 
issued.

     CB MERGER.  Upon consummation of the CB Merger, each outstanding share 
of CB Common Stock (other than certain shares specified in the CB Merger 
Agreement) was automatically converted into the right to receive 1.209 shares 
of Pinnacle Common Stock (the "CB Exchange Ratio"), according to the formula 
provided in the CB Merger Agreement, based on the shares of CB Common Stock 
being valued at $35.00, and then divided by the average of the daily averages 
of the closing bid and the closing ask prices per share of Pinnacle Common 
Stock as reported by the Nasdaq National Market for the period of fifteen 
business days ending on the fifth business day  prior to the date of 
consummation of the CB Merger (the "Average Price"), which Average Price was 
determined to be $28.938.  The CB Exchange Ratio was determined through 
arms-length negotiations between Pinnacle and CB, each of which was advised 
during such negotiations by its respective financial advisor.

     Upon effectiveness of the CB Merger, each option granted by CB to 
purchase shares of CB Common Stock (including any option that had been 
awarded but had not yet vested) which was outstanding and unexercised 
immediately prior thereto ceased to represent a right to acquire shares of CB 
Common Stock and was converted automatically into the right to receive shares 
of Pinnacle Common Stock in an amount determined by dividing the difference 
between $35.00 and the exercise price of such option by the Average Price.

     Upon effectiveness of the CB Merger, each option granted by Pinnacle to 
purchase shares of Pinnacle Common Stock which was outstanding and unexercised 
immediately prior thereto continues to represent a right to acquire shares of 
Pinnacle Common Stock and remains an issued and outstanding option to 
purchase from Pinnacle, as the surviving corporation, shares of Pinnacle 
Common Stock in the same amount and at the same exercise price subject to the 
terms of the Pinnacle Stock Plans under which they were issued.

For immediate release: August 4, 1997

St. Joseph, MI, Valparaiso, IN, Michigan City, IN - The area's largest 
locally-managed financial institution has been created with the completion of 
a merger between Pinnacle Financial Services, Inc., Indiana Federal 
Corporation and CB Bancorp, Inc. The merger will be effective at the end of 
business Friday, August 1st. The new $2.2 billion entity will operate under the 
name Pinnacle Financial Services, Inc. and will be located in Valparaiso. The 
largest subsidiary of the corporation, Pinnacle Bank, will continue to be 
headquartered in St. Joseph, Michigan.

The action took place following shareholder approval at each of the 
respective institutions' annual shareholders meetings Wednesday, July 30, 
1997.

Through Pinnacle Bank, a full range of services will be offered via a network 
of 47 sales centers and 45 ATMs extending from Southwestern Michigan to the 
Illinois state line.

"By virtue of these transactions, our company is positioned as a front runner 
in the financial services industry in a number of very lucrative markets," 
said Richard Schanze, Pinnacle Chairman. "Our size and physical 
distribution offer many benefits to our customers."

The Pinnacle/Indiana Federal plan to merge was announced last November, and 
the CB Bancorp merger was initiated in March.

"This merger culminates more than a year of diligent work and we're enthused 
about the potential of this new institution," said Indiana Federal 
Corporation Chairman, Donald Lesch. "But the real work begins now to bring 
together the very best of our respective institutions to provide unparalleled 
service to our customers."

Joe Heffernan, Chairman of CB Bancorp added, "We are very excited about being 
a part of this dynamic and growing organization, and we see tremendous 
benefits accruing to our customers, employees and shareholders. By expanding 
our services across this market, we create greater opportunities for 
everyone."

Customers of all three institutions will be able to bank at any branch 
beginning Monday, August 4, 1997.

Schanze will serve as chairman of the Board, and Lesch will assume 
the duties of Vice Chairman/President. The Pinnacle Financial Services, Inc. 
Board of Directors will be comprised of five representatives from Pinnacle's 
previous board, five representatives from Indiana Federal and one previous CB 
Bancorp board member.

Pinnacle stock is traded on the NASDAQ under the PNFI symbol.
