NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in  accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and, therefore, do not include all information and disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management,
the financial statements reflect all adjustments (comprising
only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the
Company's financial position as of September 30, 1997, results
of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, and cash flows for the nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.  A summary of the
Company's significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 1
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

NOTE B -- SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

On August 26, 1997, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly
cash dividend of $.16 per share.  This dividend was paid on
October 3, 1997, to shareholders of record as of September 12,
1997.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings
Per Share, is effective for the Company's 1997 annual financial
statements.  This statement  simplifies the calculations of
earnings per share.  The Company does not expect that the new
disclosure from basic earnings per share will be substantially
different from the primary earnings per share as currently
calculated and disclosed.  Additional disclosures include
diluted earnings per share, which will reflect the potential
dilution that could occur from unexercised stock options under
the Company's stock option plans.

NOTE C -- RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications of 1996 statements of income and cash
flows amounts have been made to conform with the 1997
presentation.

AMERIANA BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                          GENERAL
                          -------

The largest components of the Company's total revenue and total
expense are interest income and interest expense, respectively. 
Consequently, the Company's earnings are primarily dependent on
net interest income, which is determined by (i) the difference
between rates of interest earned on interest-earning assets and
rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities ("interest rate
spread"), and (ii) the relative amounts of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  Net income also is
significantly affected by levels of other income and operating
expenses.

Management believes that interest rate risk, i.e., the
sensitivity of income and net asset values to changes in
interest rates, is one of the most significant determinants of
the Company's ability to generate future earnings.  Accordingly,
Ameriana operates under a long-range plan intended to minimize
the effect of changes in interest rates on operations.  The
asset and liability management policies of the Company are
designed to stabilize long-term net interest income by managing
the repricing terms, rates and relative amounts of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.


                    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                    ---------------------

In the third quarter and first nine months of 1997, the
Company's lending  activities decreased slightly in comparison
with those of the prior year.   Loan originations during the
quarter totaled $34,541,186, representing a decrease of 4.6%
from originations of $36,196,859 in the same period of 1996. 
Loan originations during the first nine months totaled
$94,145,435, representing a decrease of 3.2% from originations
of $97,291,210 in the same period of 1996.  The reduced volume
was attributable to lower mortgage loan and consumer lending
activity.  Principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed
securities increased during 1997 to $22,871,838 and $67,791,237
for the third quarter and year to date, respectively, compared
with $24,665,762 and $75,123,085 in the 1996 periods.  The
Company sold fixed-rate mortgage loans into the secondary market
totaling $7,886,404 and $18,167,451 during the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared with
sales of $6,128,069 and $9,942,100 during the comparable periods
of 1996.  The increased sales activity reflected the
establishment of a loan production office by Deer Park Federal
in late 1996.

The Company's net interest spread increased to 2.73% and 2.70%
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997,
compared with 2.65% and 2.66% in the comparable periods of 1996,
respectively.  Ameriana continues to emphasize variable-rate
mortgage loan products, short-term consumer lending and the sale 
of long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans, while supplementing its
net interest income through leveraging with borrowed funds.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Interest income increased .6% and 3.9%, respectively for the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997, compared
with the same periods in 1996, reflecting the increased
portfolio yield which was augmented by increased average earning
assets during the nine-month period.  The slower rate of growth 
in interest income for the third quarter reflected a lower level
of earning assets, caused be the reduction in investment
securities called during the quarter.  Interest expense
increased 1.4% and 5.1%, respectively in the third quarter and
year-to-date period ended September 30, 1997, compared with the 
preceding year.  The slower rate of growth in the third quarter
was attributable to the reduced level of interest-bearing
liabilities.

As a result, net interest income decreased by .7% in the third
quarter to $2,986,931 compared with $3,007,337 in the same
period last year.  For the nine-month period in 1997, net
interest income increased 2.2%  to $9,021,372 compared with
$8,829,197 in 1996.  The changes reflected the reduced level of 
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities during
the quarter and increases for the nine-month period compared
with the year-earlier periods.

The following table summarizes the Company's average net
interest-earning assets and interest rate spreads during the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The provisions for loan losses were $60,000 and $147,000 for the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997, compared
with $24,000 and $63,000 in the same periods of 1996. Net
charge-offs were $156,628 and $12,077 for the first nine months
of 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Total non-performing assets 
increased slightly to $1,113,000 at September 30, 1997, from
$1,070,000 at September 30, 1996.

The following table summarizes the Company's non-performing
assets:

</TABLE>
Management believes the Company has provided sufficient loan
loss reserves in relation to the relatively stable level of
non-performing loans.  Such reserves amounted to $1,093,885,
$1,103,513 and $1,126,961 at September 30, 1997, December 31,
1996 and September 30, 1996, respectively, and are deemed
adequate to absorb any losses which may ultimately be incurred
on non-performing loans and the remaining loan portfolio.

Other income for the quarter increased 22.0% to $753,427 from
$617,341 in the same period last year.  The increase for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, was 17.9% with other
income totaling $2,001,125 compared with $1,697,154 in 1996. 
These changes from 1996 reflected increases in other fees and
service charges, gains on sale of loans and other income which
were partially offset by reductions in loan servicing fees and
brokerage and insurance commissions.  Losses from unconsolidated
affiliates reduced other income by $8,810 and $108,810 in the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, 
but were offset by federal tax credits for low-income housing
amounting to $63,200 and $133,200,  respectively.  The
corresponding credits for the 1996 periods were $30,000 and
$79,851, respectively.  Other income includes a gain on 
the sale of unused land, acquired in connection with the
construction of a new branch office, amounting to $56,793 in the
quarter ended September 30, 1997.

Other expense for the third quarter of 1997 totaled $2,175,282,
down from other expense of $4,042,192 last year.  Other expense
totaled $6,596,525 during the first nine months of 1997 compared
with $8,145,896 in 1996.  The higher level of expense in 1996
was attributable to the assessment of $1,878,897 by the Savings 
Association Insurance Fund, in connection with federal
legislation enacted during the third quarter of 1996.  Expenses
other than the assessment and related federal insurance premiums
all increased over the preceding year, and the increases
amounted to 6.9% and 12.0% for the quarter and year to date, 
respectively.  The increases resulted from costs associated with
the Company's new branch of Ameriana Bank and the loan
production office of Deer Park Federal opened in January 1997
and September 1996, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



                       FINANCIAL CONDITION
                       ------------------- 

The Company's principal sources of funds are cash generated from
operations, savings deposits and loan principal repayments.  In
addition the Company, through its subsidiary institutions, has
the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank
system.  As of September 30, 1997, the Company's cash and 
interest-bearing deposits totaled $7,960,017 or 2.0% of total
assets.  This compared with $8,944,040 or 2.3% of total assets
at December 31, 1996, and $8,574,128 or 2.2% at September 30,
1996.

During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, securities in the
amount of $6,550,000 were redeemed in accordance with their call
provisions, and the proceeds were used to repay Federal Home
Loan Bank advances and other interest-bearing liabilities.

The combined regulatory liquidity of the Company's banking
subsidiaries, Ameriana Savings Bank and Deer Park Federal
Savings and Loan Association, at September 30, 1997. was 9.8%,
which exceeded the 5.0% required liquidity level set by the
Office of Thrift Supervision, and was invested in overnight
deposits and U. S. government agency and mortgage-backed
securities with maturities of five years or less.

The minimum regulatory requirements for the Company's banking
subsidiaries under the most stringent of the capital regulations
at September 30, 1997, were approximately $14,280,000 and
$3,124,000, respectively.  At that date, the institutions had
regulatory capital in excess of the minimum requirement by 
approximately $21,358,000 and $2,832,000, respectively.

At September 30, 1997, the Company's commitments for loans in
process totaled $9,903,000, primarily for single-family
residential variable-rate mortgage loans or short-term
fixed-rate construction loans.  Management believes that it has 
ample resources to fund its commitments through its normal
sources of funds and augmented by its ability to borrow through
the Federal Home Loan Bank system.
