Item 1.  BUSINESS

(a)   General Development of Business

      Jeffersonville  Bancorp  (the  "Company")  was  organized  as a  New  York
      Corporation  on January 12, 1982, for the purpose of becoming a registered
      bank  holding  company  under the Bank  Holding  Company  Act of 1956,  as
      amended (the "BHC" Act").  Effective June 30, 1982, the Company became the
      registered   bank  holding   company  for  The  First   National  Bank  of
      Jeffersonville,  a bank chartered in 1913 and organized under the national
      banking laws of the United States (the "Bank").

(b)   Financial Information About Segments

      The Company is engaged in the  business of  managing  or  controlling  its
      subsidiary  bank and such  other  business  related  to  banking as may be
      authorized  under the BHC Act. See consolidated  financial  statements and
      notes to the  consolidated  financial  statements  contained in the Annual
      Report to the  Stockholders  for 1996,  which are  incorporated  herein by
      reference.

(c) 1.      Narrative Description of Business

      The First National Bank of Jeffersonville

      The Bank was  organized in 1913 and became a subsidiary  of the Company on
June 30, 1982.

      The Bank is an  independently  owned bank based in  Sullivan  County,  New
      York.   In  addition  to  its  main  office  and   operations   center  in
      Jeffersonville,  the Bank has seven additional  branch office locations in
      Eldred, Liberty, Loch Sheldrake, Monticello, Livingston Manor, Narrowsburg
      and  Callicoon.   The  Bank  is  a  full  service  institution   employing
      approximately  100 people and serves all of Sullivan  County,  New York as
      well as some areas of adjacent counties in New York and Pennsylvania.

      Throughout  Sullivan  County  there are 31 branches of  commercial  banks,
      savings  banks,   savings  and  loan   associations  and  other  financial
      organizations.

      The Bank is a full service  commercial  bank that provides a wide range of
      banking  services for its  customers.  Some of the major  services that it
      offers include checking  accounts,  negotiable order of withdrawal  ("NOW"
      and  "Super  NOW")  accounts,  individual  retirement  accounts  ("IRAs"),
      savings  and other time  deposits of various  types,  and  business,  real
      estate, personal use, home improvement, automobile, and a variety of other
      loans,  although  the  portfolio  is  concentrated  geographically  within
      Sullivan County.

      The Bank  does not have a single  depositor  or a small  group of  related
      depositors  whose  loss  would have a  material  adverse  effect  upon the
      business of the Bank. The Bank does not have a major loan concentration in
      any individual industry.

      Compliance  with  federal,  state and  local  provisions  which  have been
      enacted  or  adopted  regulating  the  discharge  of  materials  into  the
      environment, is not expected to have any material effect whatever upon the
      capital expenditures, earnings and competitive positions of the Bank.




      Supervision and Regulation

      The  banking  industry  is  highly  regulated.  Statutory  and  regulatory
      controls  increase a bank holding  company's  costs of doing  business and
      severely  limit the  activities  in which it may engage.  Areas subject to
      regulation  and  supervision  by the  bank  regulatory  agencies  include:
      dividends;  expansion of  locations;  acquisitions  and mergers;  interest
      rates paid on and reserves against deposits;  terms,  amounts and interest
      rates  charged to various types of borrowers;  and  investments.  The bank
      regulatory agencies have broad discretion to issue cease and desist orders
      if they determine the Company or its  subsidiaries are engaging in "unsafe
      or unsound banking  practices".  In addition,  the federal bank regulatory
      authorities are empowered to impose  substantial civil money penalties for
      violations of certain federal banking statutes and regulations.

      The Company, as a bank holding company, is subject to regulation under the
      BHC Act,  and is  registered  with the Board of  Governors  of the Federal
      Reserve System (the "Board").  Under the BHC Act, bank holding  companies,
      including the Company,  are not  permitted,  with certain  exceptions,  to
      acquire  direct or  indirect  ownership  or control of more than 5% of the
      voting shares of any company which is not a bank and are  prohibited  from
      engaging  in any  business  other  than  that  of  banking,  managing  and
      controlling banks or furnishing  services to its subsidiary banks,  except
      that  they  may,  upon  application,  engage  in,  and may own  shares  of
      companies  engaged  in,  certain  businesses  found by the  Board to be so
      closely  related to banking " as to be a proper  incident  thereto" if the
      Board  determines that such  acquisition will be beneficial to the public.
      The BHC Act requires prior approval by the Board of the acquisition by the
      Company of more than 5% of the voting stock of any additional  bank and in
      effect  permits only the  acquisition  of banks located in New York and in
      states  where  laws   specifically   permit   acquisitions   of  banks  by
      out-of-state bank holding companies.  Statewide  branching is permitted in
      New York.  Nation wide branch  banking  will occur in 1997 and if New York
      State elects to accept it, we will  potentially  face competition from out
      of state financial  institutions.  The BHC Act does not place  territorial
      restrictions  on the activities of non-bank  subsidiaries  of bank holding
      companies.

      The  Company  is  required  by the BHC Act to file  annual  reports of its
      operations  with the Board and is  subject to  examinations  by the Board.
      Under  Section  106  of the  1970  amendments  to  the  BHC  Act  and  the
      regulations of the Board,  bank holding  companies and their  subsidiaries
      are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in  arrangements in connection
      with any  extension  of credit or  provision  of any  property or service.
      Regulations  of the Board  under the  Federal  Reserve  Act  require  that
      reserves be maintained by the Company's bank subsidiary to the extent that
      the proceeds of any of the Company's promissory notes,  acknowledgments of
      advance,  due bills or similar  obligations,  with a maturity of less than
      four years,  are used to supply or to maintain the  availability  of funds
      (other than capital) to the bank  subsidiary,  except any obligation that,
      had it been issued directly by the bank subsidiary, would not constitute a
      deposit.

      The Bank is an  "affiliate"  of the Company,  and as a  subsidiary  of the
      Company,  within the meaning of Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act, it
      may not, subject to certain limited  exceptions set forth in such Section,
      make loans or extensions of credit to, or investments in the securities of
      the  Company,  or take  such  securities  as  collateral  for loans to any
      borrower.  A bank  subsidiary is also subject to the  collateral  security
      requirements  specified  in such  Section for any loans or  extensions  of
      credit permitted by the exceptions. The Company and its banking subsidiary
      are also subject to certain  restrictions  with respect to engaging in the
      business of issuing, underwriting, public sale, floatation or distribution
      of securities.

      The  subsidiary  bank is  subject  to the  supervision  of, and to regular
      examinations  by, the Office of the  Comptroller  of the  Currency  of the
      United States (the "OCC"). In addition,  the subsidiary bank is subject to
      examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). The
      Financial  Institutions  Reform,  Recovery  and  Enforcement  Act  and the
      Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  Improvement  Act are  laws,  now
      enacted,  that have made or will make  changes in  financial  institutions
      including regulatory oversight and reporting issues.

      The Company is also subject to the regulations and reporting  requirements
      of the Federal  securities  laws, the Securities and Exchange  Commission,
      and the Federal Reserve Bank.

      The impact of the usury laws upon the  operation  of the  Company  and its
      subsidiary  varies  from time to time  depending  on a number of  factors,
      including  conditions in the money markets,  the cost and  availability of
      funds, and prevailing interest rates.

      From time to time,  various  bills are  introduced  in the  United  States
      Congress  and the  New  York  State  Legislature  which  could  result  in
      additional  regulation of the business of the Company and its  subsidiary,
      or further  increase retail banking through  consumer  protection laws, at
      significant  expense  to  financial   institutions.   Passage  of  various
      proposals before the State and Federal  legislatures could have a material
      effect upon the earnings of the Company and its subsidiary. Some proposals
      would have a favorable effect; many would have an unfavorable effect.

      References under this caption, "Supervision and Regulation," to applicable
      statutes are brief  summaries of portions  thereof which do not purpose to
      be complete and which are qualified in their entirety by reference to such
      statutes.

      Monetary Policy and Economic Conditions

      The  earnings  of the  Company  and its  subsidiary  are  affected  by the
      policies of regulatory authorities,  including the Federal Reserve System.
      Federal Reserve System monetary policies have had a significant  effect on
      the operating  results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to
      continue to do so in the future. Because of the changing conditions in the
      national  economy  and in the money  markets,  as a result of  actions  by
      monetary and fiscal  authorities,  interest rates, credit availability and
      deposit levels may change due to  circumstances  beyond the control of the
      Company or its subsidiary.

(c)(1)(X)   Competition

            The  Bank  faces  strong  competition  for  local  business  in  the
            communities it serves from other financial institutions.

            For  most  of  the  services  which  the  Bank  performs,  there  is
            increasing   competition  from  financial  institutions  other  than
            commercial  banks due to the relaxation of regulatory  restrictions.
            Money market funds actively compete with banks for deposits. Savings
            banks,  savings and loan  associations and credit  institutions,  as
            well as consumer finance companies,  insurance companies and pension
            trusts are important  competitors.  Competition  for loans is also a
            factor the Bank faces in maintaining profitability.

INTEREST RATE RISK

  Management of interest rate risk involves continual monitoring of the relative
sensitivity  of  asset  and  liability  portfolios  to  changes  in rate  due to
maturities  or  repricing.  Interest  rate  sensitivity  is a  function  of  the
repricing of assets and liabilities  through maturity and interest rate changes.
The objective is to maintain an  appropriate  balance  between income growth and
the risks  associated with maximizing  income through the mismatch of the timing
of interest rate changes between assets and liabilities. Perfectly matching this
funding can eliminate  interest rate risk, but net interest income is not always
enhanced. One measure of interest rate risk, the so-called "gap", is illustrated
in the report below as of December 31, 1996. This table measures the incremental
and cumulative  gap, or difference,  between assets and  liabilities  subject to
repricing during the periods indicated.  The figures presented are stated on the
basis of "contractual  gap" which measures the stated  repricing and maturity of
assets and liabilities.  The data presented indicates that rate sensitive assets
are  generally  subject to  repricing  sooner than rate  sensitive  liabilities.
Management  retains the  ability to change,  or not  change,  interest  rates on
certain  deposit  products as general market rates change in the future,  and is
also in the position to liquidate a portion of its securities available for sale
should conditions warrant such action.

1996 Annual Report

Jeffersonville Bancorp

To Our Stockholders and Customers

     Jeffersonville  Bancorp  enjoyed another  profitable  year in 1996,  albeit
marginally less than 1995.  There were primarily  three factors  contributing to
our decreased  earnings  during 1996. We increased our provision for loan losses
by $130,000 over the prior year. We felt this increase was warranted in order to
maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses which is necessary in our current
adverse economic climate. Salaries and wages increased by $297,000 and occupancy
and equipment  expense  increased by $113,000 mainly due to our branch expansion
into Pecks Markets.  These  expenses will  eventually be offset by revenues from
the increased deposit and loan volume we expect to generate in the new branches.
The third factor was an increase in other real estate owned  expense of $99,000.
We continue to experience  foreclosures  and related  expenses at  unprecedented
rates.  Until  there is a  recovery  from the local  economic  recession  we are
experiencing,  we can expect this expense to continue at an unacceptable  level.
The new branch offices at Pecks Markets in Narrowsburg and Livingston Manor have
met and exceeded our expectations. The supermarket branch in Callicoon opened in
mid-February.  We  anticipate  that  these  locations  will  provide  us with an
opportunity  for continued  growth in our market area.  Touch-tone  banking will
become a reality in early 1997.  This  24-hour  telephone  banking  service will
provide our customers with access to account  information at their  convenience.
This  service  will not take the place of personal  contact,  but will rather be
another way for us to serve our customers.  We still feel very strongly that our
competitive  edge is in the  personal  touch  and we  will  continue  with  that
philosophy. The Banks home page was recently launched on the world wide web. The
sites internet address is  http://www.jeffbank.com.  The site provides  visitors
with a wide range of information about the bank in an intuitive, point and click
environment.  Site visitors are provided a comprehensive  array of rates for all
lending   and   investment    instruments.    E-mail   can   be   addressed   to
[email protected].  We are  confident  our  customers  will benefit from our
internet  presence  immediately  and will  continue  to benefit as we expand our
on-line  capabilities.  During  1996,  your Board of  Directors  authorized  the
repurchase  and  retirement of 50,000 shares of stock as a  continuation  of the
repurchase  program  initiated in 1995.  During the upcoming year, your Board of
Directors  has  authorized  up to $1 million for the  repurchase  of  additional
shares in the open  market.  As a further  effort to increase  market  price and
provide liquidity,  Jeffersonville Bancorp stock has recently been listed on the
Over-the-Counter  Bulletin  Board  under the symbol  JFBC.  We believe  that the
current market price of Jeffersonville  Bancorp stock does not fully reflect the
value of your company and we will strive to address this issue during the coming
year. If you have questions with regard to this report,  please contact us. Your
comments,  questions,  and suggestions  are always  welcome.  Thank you for your
continued support.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of the factors  which  significantly  affected the
consolidated  results of operations  and financial  condition of  Jeffersonville
Bancorp (the Company) and its wholly-owned  subsidiary,  The First National Bank
of  Jeffersonville  (the Bank).  For  purposes of this  discussion,  the Company
refers to both the Bank and Company  together,  as the Bank is the Companys only
subsidiary.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial  statements  and  notes  thereto,  statistical  disclosures  and other
financial information appearing elsewhere in this annual report.

General
The Company is a one-bank  holding company founded in 1982 and  headquartered in
Jeffersonville, New York. The Company owns 100% of the outstanding shares of the
Banks  common stock and derives  substantially  all of its income from the Banks
operations.  The Bank is a commercial  bank  chartered in 1913 serving  Sullivan
County,  New  York  with  offices  in  Jeffersonville,   Eldred,  Liberty,  Loch
Sheldrake, Monticello, Livingston Manor, Narrowsburg and Callicoon. The Companys
mission is to serve the community banking needs of its borrowers and depositors,
predominantly  individual  customers,  small  businesses,  and  local  municipal
governments.  The  Company is in tune with  local  customer  needs and  provides
quality service with a personal touch. This discussion and analysis of financial
results should be reviewed with the Companys philosophy in mind.

Local Economy
Following  the trend of recent years,  the local economy  continued to falter in
1996.  Loan demand  weakened as businesses  and consumers  were either  cautious
about additional debt or already  overextended.  Residential  mortgage borrowers
tried to stay current on their loans despite unemployment,  increased tax burden
and the shut down of some county  businesses.  The Company will continue to seek
opportunities to provide fresh capital for the local economy,  while adhering to
prudent  loan  underwriting  standards.  Management  of  the  Company  does  not
anticipate any improvement in the local economy in the short term.

Financial Condition
Total average assets in 1996 increased $4,566,000 over 1995 to $198,134,000,  an
increase of 2.4%  compared to a .3% decrease  between 1995 at  $193,568,000  and
1994 at  $194,114,000.  Average  assets  increased in 1996 as deposit growth was
channeled into loans that met underwriting  criteria.  Total average  securities
(including  securities  available  for sale and  investment  securities  held to
maturity) decreased $731,000 or 1.0% in 1996 to $71,604,000 compared to an 11.2%
decrease in the prior year. The average  investment  portfolios were $72,335,000
and $81,486,000 for 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The decrease in the portfolios
was  used to  fund  growth  in the  loan  portfolio.  Investment  in tax  exempt
securities was reduced to lessen the impact of the alternative  minimum tax. See
notes 3 and 4 to the consolidated  financial  statements for period end balances
of securities  available for sale and investment  securities.  Average  interest
bearing deposits in 1996 increased $1,503,000 to reach $150,071,000, an increase
of 1.0% compared to a 1.7%  increase  between 1995 at  $148,568,000  and 1994 at
$146,014,000.  The increase in the interest rate paid on large savings  accounts
in 1996  resulted in an increase in savings  accounts as funds flowed from other
sources.  During 1995 a new savings certificate  product, the Escalator Account,
was introduced. This account is written with an 18-month term, but the depositor
has the option during the deposit term to increase the interest rate one time to
match  market  rates.  The  Escalator  Account  has proven to be a very  popular
product,  growing to  $15,800,000  at year end 1996 from  $6,000,000 in 1995. In
1996,  average demand accounts  increased 11.8% over 1995, after increasing 6.6%
in 1995 above the 1994 level.  The Company offers these accounts on an extremely
competitive  basis  and  continues  to  attract  a pool of low  cost  funds  for
reinvestment in the community.

Loans
In 1996,  average  loans  increased  $6,414,000  reaching  $113,981,000  up from
$107,567,000 and $100,517,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively.  This increase was
acceptable  considering the current condition of the local economy.  As in prior
years,  average  residential  and  commercial  real estate loans made up a major
portion of the loan  portfolio  at 74.6% of total loans in 1996,  an increase of
2.2% over 1995. Home Equity Loans were introduced in 1996 and rapidly  increased
to $4,331,000 at year end. Additional growth is anticipated in Home Equity Loans
during 1997. Average commercial and consumer loans showed net growth of 10.1% in
1996. The overall portfolio is structured in accordance with managements  belief
that loans secured by  residential  and  commercial  real estate result in lower
loan loss levels, because of the value of the underlying collateral.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses for 1996 was $290,000 compared to $160,000 in 1995
and  $427,000 in 1994.  The  increase in 1996  reflects  higher net  charge-offs
(primarily on consumer loans), as well as an increase in loan delinquencies.

The overall loan loss percentage was .18% of outstanding  loans in 1996 compared
to .11% in 1995  and .52% in  1994,  reflecting  a  manageable  pattern  of loss
attributable  to  prudent   underwriting   standards  and  effective  collection
policies.  Net  charge-offs on both  residential  and commercial  mortgages were
relatively low in 1996  considering the  significance of these categories to the
total loan portfolio. The net charge-off on commercial loans was $35,000 in 1996
or .38% of average commercial loans outstanding, a substantial decrease compared
to 1.94% for  1995.  This  favorable  trend may not  continue  unless  the local
economy  improves.  Consumer  loan  charge-offs  increased  in 1996 as borrowers
struggled to make both ends meet in a unfavorable economy.  Loan loss levels are
manageable  despite the local business  climate.  Other loan and credit card net
charge-offs of $32,000 in 1996 represents 1.70% of average  outstanding loans in
this category  which  reflects the higher credit risk inherent in these types of
loans.  Interest rates are higher for this loan category to help  compensate for
this risk.  The Company  manages asset quality with an intensive  review process
that  includes  careful  analysis of credit  applications  and both internal and
external loan review of existing outstanding loans and delinquencies. It strives
to identify  potential  non-performing  loans early,  take charge-offs  promptly
based on a realistic  assessment of probable losses,  and maintain reserves that
are  adequate  based on the  inherent  risk of loss in the loan  portfolio.  The
allowance  for loan  losses was  $1,711,000  at December  31,  1996  compared to
$1,629,000  and  $1,592,000  at December  31, 1995 and 1994,  respectively.  The
following table shows the  distribution of the allowance for loan losses and the
percentage that each loan type represents compared to total loans outstanding.

Of the $1,711,000 total allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1996, $573,000
or 33.5% has been  specifically  allocated to classified loans and the remainder
is a general  allocation.  The  specific  allocation  at  December  31, 1995 was
$502,000 or 30.8%. Future charge-offs will continue to be dependent on the local
economy.  Management  believes  that the  allowance for loan losses is adequate;
however,  various regulatory agencies,  as an integral part of their examination
process,  periodically  review the adequacy of the Companys  allowance  for loan
losses.  Such  agencies  may require the Company to  recognize  additions to the
allowance based on their judgments  about  information  available to them at the
time of their examination which may not be currently available to management.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans
Under the Companys nonaccrual policy, a loan is placed on nonaccrual status when
collectability of principal or interest is doubtful, or when either principal or
interest is 90 days or more past due and the loan is not well secured and in the
process of  collection.  Interest  payments  received  on  nonaccrual  loans are
applied as a reduction of the  principal  balance when concern  exists as to the
ultimate  collection of principal.  A distribution of nonaccrual loans and loans
90 days past due and still accruing interest is shown on the following table.

2 Percentage of total nonaccrual and 90 day past due loans.
</TABLE>

The  increase  in total  nonaccrual  and past due loans is due to  increases  in
nonaccrual and delinquent  residential  mortgage loans and commercial loans. The
increase in  residential  mortgage loans  occurred  despite the borrowers  doing
their utmost to repay their loans to protect their homes in a difficult economic
environment.  The increase in commercial  loans is also a reflection of the weak
local  economy.  The majority of the  nonaccrual  and past due loans are secured
loans and, as such, management anticipates there will be limited risk of loss in
their  ultimate  resolution.  As of December 31, 1996,  management  believes all
significant potential problem loans have been identified in the tables above.

Restructured Loans
Loans  are  renegotiated  in a  troubled  debt  restructuring  when the  Company
determines that it will ultimately  receive greater economic value under the new
terms than through  foreclosure,  liquidation,  or  bankruptcy.  Candidates  for
renegotiation must meet specific  guidelines.  Guidelines consider the borrowers
ability to enhance the value of the property, the collateral, the ability of the
guarantor,  if any, to perform,  and the economic value of the renegotiated loan
relative  to  foreclosure  and  other  options.  Restructured  loans,  which are
performing in accordance with their new terms,  and therefore,  are not included
in  nonaccrual  loans,  amounted to $481,000  at December  31, 1996  compared to
$841,000 at December 31, 1995.  This decrease is primarily the result of placing
certain restructured loans on nonaccrual during the year. All restructured loans
at December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were secured by real estate.

Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned represents  properties  acquired through foreclosure and
loans classified as in-substance foreclosures.  In accordance with SFAS No. 114,
a loan is classified as an in-substance  foreclosure  when the Company has taken
possession  of  the  collateral   regardless  of  whether   formal   foreclosure
proceedings  have  taken  place.  Other  real  estate  owned is  recorded  on an
individual-asset  basis at the lower of (1) fair value less  estimated  costs to
sell or (2) cost  (defined  as the fair  value at initial  foreclosure).  When a
property is acquired or classified as  in-substance  foreclosure,  the excess of
the loan balance over the fair value of the property is charged to the allowance
for loan  losses.  Subsequent  write downs to reflect  further  declines in fair
value are included in other operating expense.  The following are the changes in
other real estate owned during the last two years:

Liquidity
Liquidity  is the  ability to  provide  sufficient  cash flow to meet  financial
commitments  and to fund  additional  loan  demand  or  withdrawal  of  existing
deposits.  The  Companys  primary  sources of liquidity  are: its deposit  base;
repayments  and  maturities  on loans;  short-term  assets such as federal funds
sold; and maturities and sales of securities  available for sale.  These sources
are available in amounts  sufficient  to provide  liquidity to meet the Companys
ongoing funding  requirements.  The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan
Bank. This membership  enhances liquidity as it makes a revolving line of credit
of $19,466,000 available to meet unforeseen liquidity demands. Additionally, the
Company  maintains a correspondent  bank line of credit of $4,400,000.  In 1996,
cash  generated  from  operating  activities  amounted  to  $3,384,000  and cash
generated from financing  activities amounted to $5,579,000.  These amounts were
more  than  offset  by a use of cash in  investing  activities  of  $12,978,000,
resulting in a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $4,015,000.  See the
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for additional information.

Capital Adequacy
One of managements  primary  objectives is to maintain a strong capital position
to merit the confidence of depositors, the investing public, bank regulators and
shareholders.  A strong  capital  position  should  help the  Company  withstand
unforeseen  adverse  developments  and take  advantage of profitable  investment
opportunities when they arise.  Stockholders  equity increased $47,000 or .2% in
1996  following  an increase of 17.7% in the prior  year.  In 1996,  the Company
offered to repurchase and retire 50,000 common shares utilizing  open-market and
privately-negotiated  purchases.  By  December  31,  1996,  49,672  shares  were
acquired at $21.00 per share,  reducing  stockholders  equity by $1,043,000.  In
1997,  the Board of Directors  authorized  that  $1,000,000 be made available to
purchase and retire  additional shares on the open market.  Management  believes
that the  repurchase  of Company  stock  represents  an excellent  use of excess
capital.  In December 1996, the Company reissued 916 shares of treasury stock at
$21.00 per share for  reinvestment  under the Dividend  Reinvestment  Plan.  The
Company retained $1,370,000 from 1996 earnings,  while the after-tax  adjustment
for the change in the net  unrealized  gain (loss) on  securities  available for
sale reduced capital by $299,000.  In accordance with regulatory  guidance,  the
capital adjustment related to the fair value of securities available for sale is
not considered as part of the computation of regulatory  capital  ratios.  Under
the  Federal  Reserve  Banks  risk-based  capital  rules,  the  Companys  Tier I
risk-based  capital  was  19.3%  and  total  risk-based  capital  was  20.6%  of
risk-weighted assets. These risk-based capital ratios are well above the minimal
requirements  of 4% for Tier I capital and 8% for total  capital.  The  Companys
leverage ratio (Tier I capital to average  assets) of 10.4% is well above the 4%
minimum  requirement.  The  following  table shows the Companys  actual  capital
measurements compared to the minimum regulatory requirements.

Results of Operations
Net Income
Net income for 1996 of  $2,145,000  was down  11.5%  from the 1995  earnings  of
$2,424,000,  after  a 1.5%  decrease  in  1995  compared  to  1994  earnings  of
$2,460,000.  These  decreases were due to the interaction of a number of factors
including  increasing  pressure on net  interest  margin,  the  operating  costs
associated  with  the two new  supermarket  branches  and  increased  loan  loss
provisions and other costs  associated  with problem loans and other real estate
owned.  The most  significant  impact on net income in 1996 was the  increase in
salary and wage expense of $297,000,  an increase of 11.9%.  The increase is the
result of  maintaining  a  competitive  salary  structure  and new hires for the
supermarket  branches.  Occupancy and equipment expense increased  $113,000,  or
12.1%,  in 1996  primarily due to a new computer  mainframe and the  supermarket
branch  openings.  Continued  local economic  problems  caused other real estate
owned expenses to increase in 1996 by $99,000, or 53.8%.

Interest Income and Interest Expense
Throughout this part of the  discussion,  net interest income and its components
are expressed on a tax equivalent basis which means that, where appropriate, tax
exempt  income  is shown as if it were  earned  on a fully  taxable  basis.  The
largest  source  of  income  for  the  Company  is net  interest  income,  which
represents interest earned on loans, securities and short-term investments, less
interest paid on deposits and other interest bearing  liabilities.  Net interest
income of $9,505,000 for 1996 resulted in an increase of .8% from $9,429,000 for
1995.  Interest income for 1996 was $15,783,000  compared to $15,716,000 in 1995
and  $15,645,000  in 1994.  The increase in 1996 is the result of an increase in
interest on loans  substantially  offset by decreases in interest on  securities
and federal funds sold. An overall  decrease in average yield on earning  assets
of  thirteen  basis  points  was  experienced  in  1996.  In  the  current  rate
environment,  yields should stabilize as new investments are acquired at average
portfolio rates. Loan demand weakened in 1996,  reflecting current conditions in
the local economy. In 1997, increases in funding will be allocated first to meet
loan demand,  as  necessary,  and then to the  investment  portfolios.  Interest
expense  in 1996  decreased  $9,000  or .1%  over  1995,  contrasted  to a 14.7%
increase,  amounting  to  $807,000,  from 1994 to 1995.  Like  rates on  earning
assets,  the cost of funding is also closely tied to market rates.  During 1996,
deposit rates declined slightly. A new competitive 18-month savings certificate,
with one interest escalation during its term, continues to attract new deposits.
Net interest  margin at 5.07% in 1996  declined  from 5.13% in 1995 and 5.51% in
1994.  It is the  Companys  intention  to reverse the  deterioration  in its net
interest margin in 1997. The effect of the new supermarket branches and new loan
products should help the Company improve its net interest income.

Operating Income and Operating Expense
Operating income primarily consists of service charges, commissions and fees for
various banking services,  and securities gains and losses.  Operating income in
1996  increased  13.9%  or  $129,000  over  1995,  largely  due to a net gain on
security  transactions  of $95,000 in 1996  compared to a net gain of $33,000 in
1995. Operating income in 1995 increased $275,000 over the prior year, primarily
from a net security gain of $33,000  compared to a net loss of $166,000 in 1994.
Operating expense increased by $608,000 or 9.95% in 1996,  compared to increases
of .03% in 1995 and 5.0% in 1994. Salary and wage expense combined with employee
benefit expense  increased 10.8% to $3,628,000 in 1996 compared to $3,275,000 in
1995,  which  increased  7.7% over  $3,040,000 in 1994.  Occupancy and equipment
expense  increased  12.1% to reach  $1,049,000 in 1996, up from $936,000 in 1995
and $915,000 in 1994. This increase reflects the Companys  commitment to upgrade
facilities  and  services,  which  continued  in 1996 with the  addition  of two
supermarket  branches and a new computer mainframe.  Net other real estate owned
expense  increased  53.8% to  $283,000  in 1996  from  $184,000  in 1995,  after
declining  from  $272,000  in 1994.  Only an upturn in the  local  economy  will
reverse the recent  trend of  increasing  foreclosure  activity  and  associated
costs.  In  the  interim,   however,   the  Company  will  continue  to  enforce
underwriting and appraisal standards to minimize future losses and will continue
to make every  effort to  liquidate  foreclosed  property in a fashion that will
minimize  loss.  Other  operating  expense at  $1,761,000  in 1996  increased by
$43,000 or 2.5% from 1995.  This increase is primarily due to the start-up costs
of the two new  supermarket  branches.  The federal  deposit  insurance  premium
decreased from $363,000 in 1994 to $190,000 in 1995 and to $2,000 in 1996. Based
on current assessment rates, the Company expects to incur no premium expense for
1997.
 Accounting Pronouncement
The Company will adopt Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No.
125,   Accounting   for  Transfers   and  Servicing  of  Financial   Assets  and
Extinguishments  of Liabilities,  effective January 1, 1997. Among other things,
the statement  establishes  standards for distinguishing  transfers of financial
assets that should be accounted for as sales from those that should be accounted
for as  secured  borrowings.  SFAS  No.  125 has  limited  applicability  to the
Companys  current  activities  and,  accordingly,  management  anticipates  that
adoption of the statement will not have a material impact on financial condition
or results of operations.  See note 17 to the consolidated  financial statements
for a further discussion of SFAS No. 125.

Inflation
The Companys  operating  results  generally  reflect the effects of inflation as
interest  rates,  loan demand and deposit  levels adjust to inflation and impact
net interest  income.  Management  can best counter the effect of inflation over
the long term by managing net interest income and controlling expenses. The most
significant  item not  reflecting  the  effects  of  inflation  is  depreciation
expense, as it is determined based on the historical cost of the assets.

Volume and Rate  Analysis  The  following  schedule  sets forth,  for each major
category of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the dollar
amount of interest  income  (calculated on a tax equivalent  basis) and interest
expense,  and changes therein for 1996 as compared to 1995, and 1995 as compared
to 1994. The changes in interest  income and expense  attributable  to both rate
and volume have been allocated to rate on a consistent basis.

Managements Statement of Responsibility

The consolidated  financialstatements and related information in the 1996 Annual
Report  were  prepared  in  conformity   with  generally   accepted   accounting
principles.  Management is responsible  for the integrity and objectivity of the
consolidated  financial  statements  and related  information.  Accordingly,  it
maintains an extensive system of internal  controls and accounting  policies and
procedures  to  provide   reasonable   assurance  of  the   accountability   and
safeguarding   of  the  Companys   assets  and  of  the  accuracy  of  financial
information.  These procedures include  management  evaluations of asset quality
and the impact of economic events,  organizational  arrangements that provide an
appropriate  division of  responsibility,  and a program of  internal  audits to
evaluate  independently  the  extent of  ongoing  compliance  with the  Companys
adopted policies and procedures.  The responsibility of the Companys independent
public  accountants,  KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, is limited to the  expression of an
opinion as to the fair  presentation of the  consolidated  financial  statements
based on their audit  conducted in accordance with generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  The  Board  of  Directors,   through  its  Examining  Committee,  is
responsible  for  insuring  that  both  management  and the  independent  public
accountants  fulfill  their  respective  responsibilities  with  regard  to  the
consolidated financial statements.  The Examining Committee,  which is comprised
entirely of directors  who are not  officers or employees of the Company,  meets
periodically  with management,  the internal auditor and the independent  public
accountants.  The internal auditor and independent  public accountants have full
and free access to and meet with the  Examining  Committee,  without  management
being present,  to discuss financial  reporting and other relevant matters.  The
consolidated  financial  statements  have not been  reviewed  or  confirmed  for
accuracy or relevance by the Office of the  Comptroller of the Currency.  Arthur

Notes to Consolidated  Financial Statements
 1. Summary of Significant  Accounting
     Policies

  Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements of Jeffersonville Bancorp (the Parent
Company)  include  its  wholly  owned  subsidiary,  The First  National  Bank of
Jeffersonville (the Bank).  Collectively,  these entities are referred to herein
as the Company. All significant  intercompany  transactions have been eliminated
in  consolidation.  The Parent Company is a bank holding company whose principal
activity is the ownership of all outstanding shares of the Banks stock. The Bank
is a commercial bank providing community banking services to individuals,  small
businesses and local  municipal  governments in Sullivan  County,  New York. The
consolidated  financial statements have been prepared, in all material respects,
in conformity with generally accepted  accounting  principles.  In preparing the
consolidated financial statements,  management is required to make estimates and
assumptions  that affect the reported amounts of assets,  liabilities,  revenues
and expenses.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to near-term
change  include the  allowance  for loan losses and the  valuation of other real
estate owned, which are described below.  Actual results could differ from these
estimates.  For  purposes of the  consolidated  statements  of cash  flows,  the
Company   considers  Federal  funds  sold,  if  any,  to  be  cash  equivalents.
Reclassifications  are made to prior  years  consolidated  financial  statements
whenever necessary to conform to the current years presentation.

Securities

     The Company adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
115,  Accounting  for  Certain  Investments  in Debt and Equity  Securities,  on
January  1,  1994.  Management  determines  the  appropriate  classification  of
securities at the time of purchase.  If management  has the positive  intent and
ability to hold debt  securities to maturity,  they are classified as investment
securities  held to maturity and are stated at amortized cost. If securities are
purchased for the purpose of selling them in the near term,  they are classified
as trading  securities and are reported at fair value with unrealized  gains and
losses  reflected  in current  earnings.  All other debt and  marketable  equity
securities are  classified as securities  available for sale and are reported at
fair value,  with net unrealized gains or losses reported,  net of income taxes,
as a separate component of stockholders equity. Non-marketable equity securities
are carried at cost.  At December 31, 1996 and 1995,  the Company had no trading
securities.  Gains  and  losses  on sales  of  securities  are  based on the net
proceeds  and the  amortized  cost of the  securities  sold,  using the specific
identification  method. The amortization of premium and accretion of discount on
debt  securities is calculated  using the  level-yield  interest method over the
period to the earlier of the call date or maturity  date.  Unrealized  losses on
securities  that  reflect a decline in value which is other than  temporary,  if
any, are charged to income.

Loans

     Loans are stated at unpaid principal balances,  less unearned discounts and
the  allowance  for loan losses.  Unearned  discounts on  installment  loans are
accreted into income using a method which approximates the level-yield  interest
method. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis of accounting.  When,
in the opinion of management,  the collection of interest is in doubt,  the loan
is classified as  non-accrual.  Generally,  loans past due more than 90 days are
classified as non-accrual. Thereafter, no interest is recognized as income until
received in cash or until such time as the borrower  demonstrates the ability to
make scheduled payments of interest and principal.

Allowance  for Loan Losses

     The allowance for loan losses is  established  through a provision for loan
losses  charged to expense.  Loans are  charged-off  against the allowance  when
management believes that the collectability of all or a portion of the principal
is unlikely.  Recoveries  of loans  previously  charged-off  are credited to the
allowance when realized.  Effective  January 1, 1995, the Company  prospectively
adopted SFAS No. 114,  Accounting  by Creditors  for  Impairment  of a Loan,  as
amended by SFAS No. 118. Under SFAS No. 114, a loan is considered to be impaired
when, based on current  information and events, it is probable that the creditor
will be  unable  to  collect  all  principal  and  interest  contractually  due.
Creditors are permitted to measure impaired loans based on (i) the present value
of expected future cash flows  discounted at the loans effective  interest rate,
(ii) the loans observable market price or (iii) the fair value of the collateral
if  the  loan  is  collateral  dependent.  If the  approach  used  results  in a
measurement  that is  less  than  an  impaired  loans  recorded  investment,  an
impairment  loss is recognized  as part of the  allowance  for loan losses.  The
allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level deemed adequate by management
based on an  evaluation  of such factors as economic  conditions in the Companys
market area, past loan loss  experience,  the financial  condition of individual
borrowers,  and underlying  collateral  values based on independent  appraisals.
While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future
additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary  based on changes in
economic  conditions,  particularly  in Sullivan  County.  In addition,  Federal
regulatory  agencies,   as  an  integral  part  of  their  examination  process,
periodically  review the Companys  allowance for loan losses and may require the
Company to recognize  additions to the allowance  based on their judgments about
information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be
currently available to management.

Premises and  Equipment

     Premises and equipment are stated at cost,  less  accumulated  depreciation
and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated
useful lives of the assets using straight-line or accelerated methods.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

     As a member  institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB),  the Bank is
required to hold a certain amount of FHLB stock.  This stock is considered to be
a  non-marketable  equity  security and,  accordingly,  is carried at cost since
there is no readily available market value.

Other Real Estate Owned

     Other real estate owned consists of properties acquired through foreclosure
and loans classified as in-substance  foreclosures.  In accordance with SFAS No.
114, a loan is classified as an  in-substance  foreclosure  when the Company has
taken  possession of the  collateral  regardless of whether  formal  foreclosure
proceedings  have  taken  place.  Other  real  estate  owned  is  stated  on  an
individual-asset  basis at the lower of (i) fair value less  estimated  costs to
sell or (ii) cost  (defined  as the fair value at initial  foreclosure).  When a
property is acquired or a loan is classified as an in-substance foreclosure, the
excess of the loan balance over the fair value of the property is charged to the
allowance  for loan  losses.  If  necessary,  subsequent  write downs to reflect
further  declines in fair value are included in other  operating  expense.  Fair
value  estimates  are  based  on  independent  appraisals  and  other  available
information.  While management estimates real estate owned losses using the best
available information, such as independent appraisals, future write downs may be
necessary  based on changes in real estate market  conditions,  particularly  in
Sullivan County, and the results of regulatory examinations.

Income  Taxes

     In accordance with the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred
tax assets  and  liabilities  are  recognized  for the  future tax  consequences
attributable to temporary  differences  between the financial statement carrying
amounts of  existing  assets and  liabilities  and their  respective  tax bases.
Deferred  tax  assets are  reduced  by a  valuation  allowance  when  management
determines that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred
tax  assets  will not be  realized.  Deferred  tax assets  and  liabilities  are
measured  using  enacted tax rates  expected  to apply to taxable  income in the
years in which  temporary  differences  are expected to be recovered or settled.
The effect on deferred  tax assets and  liabilities  of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Income Per Common Share

     Income per share is  computed  based upon the  weighted  average  number of
common shares outstanding during the year.

2. Cash and Due From Banks

     The Bank is required to maintain certain reserves in the form of vault cash
and/or  deposits  with the  Federal  Reserve  Bank.  The amount of this  reserve
requirement,  which is included in cash and due from  banks,  was  approximately
$1,000,000 and $1,260,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     The  adoption of SFAS No. 114,  effective  January 1, 1995,  did not have a
significant effect on the Companys consolidated  financial statements.  SFAS No.
114  applies to loans that are  individually  evaluated  for  collectability  in
accordance  with  the  Companys  ongoing  loan  review  procedures  (principally
commercial  mortgage  loans and commercial  loans).  As of December 31, 1996 and
1995, the recorded  investment in loans that are considered to be impaired under
SFAS No. 114  totaled  $1,922,000  and  $1,838,000,  respectively.  There was no
allowance for loan impairment  under SFAS No. 114 at either date,  primarily due
to prior  charge-offs  and the  adequacy of  collateral  values on these  loans.
During 1996 and 1995,  the average  recorded  investment  in impaired  loans was
$1,668,000 and $1,634,000, respectively. Interest income of $146,000 and $83,000
was  recognized on impaired  loans during 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  using a
cash-basis method of accounting.

The tax  effects of  temporary  differences  and tax  credits  that give rise to
deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31 are presented below:

In assessing  the  realizability  of deferred tax assets,  management  considers
whether it is more likely than not that some  portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. Based upon managements  consideration of historical
and anticipated  future pre-tax  income,  as well as the reversal period for the
items  giving rise to the  deferred tax assets,  a valuation  allowance  was not
considered necessary at December 31, 1996 and 1995.

12. Stockholders Equity
Regulatory Capital Requirements
National banks are required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory  capital in
accordance  with  regulations  of the Office of the  Comptroller of the Currency
(OCC).  The  Federal  Reserve  Board  (FRB)  imposes  similar  requirements  for
consolidated  capital of bank  holding  companies.  The OCC and FRB  regulations
require a minimum  leverage ratio of Tier I capital to total adjusted  assets of
4.0%, and minimum ratios of Tier I and total capital to risk-weighted  assets of
4.0% and 8.0%, respectively. Under its prompt corrective action regulations, the
OCC is required to take certain  supervisory  actions  (and may take  additional
discretionary  actions) with respect to an  undercapitalized  bank. Such actions
could  have a  direct  material  effect  on a banks  financial  statements.  The
regulations  establish a  framework  for the  classification  of banks into five
categories:   well  capitalized,   adequately   capitalized,   undercapitalized,
significantly  undercapitalized,  and critically undercapitalized.  Generally, a
bank is considered well  capitalized if it has a leverage (Tier I) capital ratio
of at least 5.0%;  a Tier I  risk-based  capital  ratio of at least 6.0%;  and a
total risk-based  capital ratio of at least 10.0%. The foregoing  capital ratios
are based in part on specific quantitative  measures of assets,  liabilities and
certain  off-balance-sheet  items  as  calculated  under  regulatory  accounting
practices.  Capital amounts and  classifications are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about capital components,  risk weightings and other
factors.  Management  believes  that, as of December 31, 1996,  the Bank and the
Parent Company met all capital adequacy  requirements to which they are subject.
Further,   the  most  recent  OCC   notification   categorized  the  Bank  as  a
well-capitalized bank under the prompt corrective action regulations. There have
been no conditions or events since that  notification  that management  believes
have changed the Banks capital classification. The following is a summary of the
actual  capital  amounts and ratios as of December 31, 1996 for the Bank and the
Parent  Company  (consolidated),  compared  to the  required  ratios for minimum
capital adequacy and for classification as well-capitalized:

Dividend Restrictions
Dividends  paid by the Bank are the  primary  source of funds  available  to the
Parent  Company  for  payment of  dividends  to its  stockholders  and for other
working capital needs.  Applicable Federal statutes,  regulations and guidelines
impose restrictions on the amount of dividends that may be declared by the Bank.
Under these  restrictions,  the  dividends  declared and paid by the Bank to the
Parent Company may not exceed the total amount of the Banks net profit  retained
in the current  year plus its retained  net  profits,  as defined,  from the two
preceding  years. As of December 31, 1996,  this total amount was  approximately
$1,250,000.

Preferred  Stock  Purchase  Rights

On July 9, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a dividend  distribution of one
purchase right (Right) for each outstanding share of Parent Company common stock
(Common  Stock),  to  stockholders of record at the close of business on July 9,
1996. The Rights have a 10-year term. The Rights become  exercisable (i) 10 days
following a public announcement that a person or group has acquired, or obtained
the right to acquire,  beneficial  ownership  of 20% or more of the  outstanding
shares of Common Stock,  or (ii) 10 days following the  commencement of a tender
offer or exchange offer that, if successful, would result in an acquiring person
or group beneficially owning 30% or more of the outstanding Common Stock (unless
such tender or exchange offer is predicated  upon the redemption of the Rights).
When the  Rights  become  exercisable,  a holder is  entitled  to  purchase  one
one-hundredth of a share, subject to adjustment,  of Series A Preferred Stock of
the Parent Company or, upon the occurrence of certain  events  described  below,
Common Stock of the Parent  Company or common  stock of an entity that  acquires
the Company.  The purchase  price per one  one-hundredth  of a share of Series A
Preferred Stock (Purchase  Price) will equal the Board of Directors  judgment as
to the long-term investment value of one share of Common Stock at the end of the
10-year term of the Rights.  Upon the  occurrence of certain  events  (including
certain acquisitions of more than 20% of the Common Stock by a person or group),
each holder of an  unexercised  Right will be entitled to receive  Common  Stock
having  a value  equal to  twice  the  Purchase  Price  of the  Right.  Upon the
occurrence of certain other events (including  acquisition of the Parent Company
in a merger or other business combination in which the Parent Company is not the
surviving corporation),  each holder of an unexercised Right will be entitled to
receive  common stock of the acquiring  person having a value equal to twice the
Purchase  Price of the Right.  The Parent  Company may redeem the Rights (to the
extent not exercised) at any time, in whole but not in part, at a price of $0.01
per Right.

13.  Related  Party  Transactions

Certain  directors  and  executive  officers of the Company,  as well as certain
affiliates of these  directors and officers,  have engaged in loan  transactions
with the Company. Such loans were made in the ordinary course of business at the
Companys normal terms, including interest rates and collateral requirements, and
do not represent more than normal risk of collection. Outstanding loans to these
related parties are summarized as follows at December 31:

                                                              1996       1995

Total  advances to these  directors and officers  during the years 1996 and 1995
were $577,000 and  $410,000,  respectively.  Total  payments made on these loans
were  $615,000 in 1996 and $425,000 in 1995.  These  directors  and officers had
unused lines of credit with the Company of $539,000 at December 31, 1996.

14.Employee Benefit Plans

Pension Plan

The  Company  has a  non-contributory  defined  benefit  pension  plan  covering
substantially  all of its employees.  The benefits are based on years of service
and the employees average  compensation during the five consecutive years in the
last ten years of employment  affording  the highest such average.  The Companys
funding  policy is to  contribute  annually an amount  sufficient to satisfy the
minimum funding  requirements of ERISA,  but not greater than the maximum amount
that can be deducted for Federal income tax purposes. Contributions are intended
to provide not only for  benefits  attributed  to service to date,  but also for
benefits expected to be earned in the future.  The following is a reconciliation
of the plans  funded  status  and the  amounts  recognized  in the  consolidated
balance  sheets at  December  31:  1996  1995  Accumulated  benefit  obligation,
including  vested  benefits  of  $1,948,000  in  1996  and  $1,819,000  in  1995

The expected  long-term  rate of return on plan assets was 8.50% for 1996,  1995
and 1994.

Other Postretirement Benefits

The Company also  sponsors  postretirement  medical and life  insurance  benefit
plans for retirees in the pension plan. Effective in 1993, employees must retire
after  age 60 with at least  10 years of  service  to be  eligible  for  medical
benefits.  The plans are  non-contributory  except that the retiree must pay the
full cost of spouse medical coverage. Both of the plans are unfunded.  Beginning
in 1995,  medical  benefits are  provided  under the Aetna plan,  which  manages
healthcare  expenses  by setting  reasonable  fee limits on claims.  Previously,
benefits were provided under the New York State Bankers  Association plan, which
was an  indemnity  plan.  Life  insurance  is  provided in the amount of $20,000
($10,000 if final-year compensation as an active employee is less than $30,000).
The Company accounts for the cost of these postretirement benefits in accordance
with SFAS No. 106, Employers  Accounting for Postretirement  Benefits Other Than
Pensions.  Accordingly,  the cost of these  benefits is recognized on an accrual
basis as employees  perform  services to earn the benefits.  The Company adopted
SFAS No. 106 as of  January 1, 1993 and  elected  to  amortize  the  accumulated
benefit  obligation at that date  (transition  obligation) into expense over the
allowed  period of 20 years.  The  following  is a  reconciliation  of the plans
unfunded  benefit  obligations  and the amounts  recognized in the  consolidated
balance sheets at December 31:

The discount rate used in determining  the  accumulated  postretirement  benefit
obligation  was 7.25%,  7.25% and 8.00% at  December  31,  1996,  1995 and 1994,
respectively. For measurement purposes at December 31, 1996, a 9.00% annual rate
of increase in the per capita cost of covered  health care  benefits was assumed
for medical  coverage in 1997;  the rate was  assumed to decrease  gradually  to
4.00% by 2001 and to remain at that level thereafter. The health care cost trend
rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. Increasing the
assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage  point in each year would
increase the accumulated  postretirement  benefit  obligation as of December 31,
1996 by approximately $91,000 and the aggregate of the service and interest cost
components of the net postretirement benefit expense by approximately $13,000

 .
Tax-Deferred  Savings Plan

The Company  maintains a qualified 401(k) plan for all employees,  which permits
tax-deferred  employee  contributions  up to  15% of  salary  and  provides  for
matching  contributions  by the Company.  Beginning in 1996, the Company matches
100% of employee  contributions  up to 4% of the employees salary and 25% of the
next 2% of the employees salary.  The Company continues to match 25% of employee
contributions  beyond  6% of the  employees  salary  until  the  total  matching
contribution reaches $1,500 or 15%. For 1995 and 1994, the Company contributed a
maximum  of  fifty  cents  for each  dollar  contributed  by each  participating
employee,  up to a maximum  of $1,500  per  employee.  The  Company  contributed
approximately $93,000 in 1996, $53,000 in 1995 and $48,000 in 1994.

15. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Legal Proceedings

The Parent  Company  and the Bank are,  from time to time,  defendants  in legal
proceedings  relating to the conduct of their business.  In the best judgment of
management,  the  consolidated  financial  position of the  Company  will not be
affected materially by the outcome of any pending legal proceedings.

Off-Balance-Sheet  Financial  Instruments

The Company is a party to certain financial  instruments with  off-balance-sheet
risk in the  normal  course  of  business  to meet  the  financing  needs of its
customers. These are limited to commitments to extend credit and standby letters
of credit which involve,  to varying degrees,  elements of credit risk in excess
of the amounts  recognized  in the  consolidated  balance  sheets.  The contract
amounts of these instruments  reflect the extent of the Companys  involvement in
particular  classes of financial  instruments.  The Companys maximum exposure to
credit  loss in the  event  of  non-performance  by the  other  party  to  these
instruments represents the contract amounts, assuming that they are fully funded
at a later date and any collateral proves to be worthless.  The Company uses the
same  credit  policies  in making  commitments  as it does for  on-balance-sheet
extensions of credit.  Contract amounts of financial  instruments that represent
agreements  to extend  credit  are as  follows at  December  31:  1996 1995 Loan
origination commitments and unused lines of credit:

Mortgage loans .........................         $ 1,468,000         $ 2,914,000
Commercial loan ........................           4,512,000           3,106,000

                                                  11,519,000           9,778,000
Standby letters of credit ..............             140,000             234,000
                                                     -------             -------

                                                 $11,659,000         $10,012,000
                                                 ===========         ===========

These  agreements  to extend  credit have been granted to  customers  within the
Companys  lending area  described in note 5 and relate  primarily to  fixed-rate
loans.  Loan origination  commitments and lines of credit are agreements to lend
to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition  established  in
the contract.  These  agreements  generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination  clauses and may  require  payment of a fee by the  customer.  Since
commitments  and lines of credit may expire  without being fully drawn upon, the
total contract amounts do not necessarily  represent  future cash  requirements.
The Company evaluates each customers  creditworthiness  on a case-by-case basis.
The amount of collateral,  if any, required by the Company upon the extension of
credit is based on  managements  credit  evaluation  of the  customer.  Mortgage
commitments are secured by a first lien on real estate. Collateral on extensions
of credit for  commercial  loans  varies but may  include  accounts  receivable,
equipment,   inventory,  livestock  and  income-producing  commercial  property.
Standby letters of credit are conditional  commitments  issued by the Company to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  These  guarantees are
primarily issued to support borrowing arrangements.  The credit risk involved in
issuing  standby  letters of credit is essentially  the same as that involved in
extending loan facilities to customers.

 Lines of Credit

The  Company  is a member  of the  FHLB  and had an  unused  line of  credit  of
$19,466,000  at December 31, 1996. The Company also had an unused line of credit
with an unrelated financial institution for $4,400,000 at December 31, 1996.

 16.Fair Values of Financial  Instruments

SFAS No. 107,  Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial  Instruments,  requires
that   the   Company   disclose   estimated   fair   values   for  its  on-  and
off-balance-sheet financial instruments.  SFAS No. 107 defines fair value as the
amount  at which  the  financial  instrument  could be  exchanged  in a  current
transaction  between  parties other than in a forced or liquidation  sale.  Fair
value  estimates are made at a specific point in time,  based on relevant market
information and information about the financial  instrument.  These estimates do
not reflect any premium or discount  that could result from offering for sale at
one time the Companys entire holding of a particular financial  instrument,  nor
do they reflect  possible tax  ramifications  or transaction  costs.  Because no
market exists for a significant  portion of the Companys financial  instruments,
fair value estimates are based on judgments  regarding  future expected net cash
flows,  current economic  conditions,  risk characteristics of various financial
instruments,  and other  factors.  These  estimates are subjective in nature and
involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment,  and therefore cannot
be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect
the estimates.  Fair value  estimates are based on existing on- and  off-balance
sheet  financial  instruments  without  attempting  to  estimate  the  value  of
anticipated future business or the value of non-financial assets and liabilities
such as premises and equipment.  In addition,  there are significant  intangible
assets that are not included in these fair value estimates, such as the value of
core deposits and the Companys branch network. The following is a summary of the
net carrying values and estimated fair values of the Companys  financial  assets
and liabilities  (none of which were held for trading  purposes) at December 31,
1996 and 1995:

The specific  estimation  methods and  assumptions  used can have a  substantial
impact  on  the  estimated  fair  values.  The  following  is a  summary  of the
significant  methods and  assumptions  used by the Company to estimate  the fair
values  shown  in the  preceding  table:
Securities

     The carrying values for securities maturing within 90 days approximate fair
values  because  there is little  interest rate or credit risk  associated  with
these instruments. The fair values of longer-term securities are estimated based
on bid prices published in financial  newspapers or bid quotations received from
securities  dealers.  The fair values of certain state and municipal  securities
are not  readily  available  through  market  sources;  accordingly,  fair value
estimates are based on quoted market prices of similar instruments, adjusted for
any significant  differences  between the quoted instruments and the instruments
being valued.

Loans

     Fair values are  estimated for  portfolios of loans with similar  financial
characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, consumer, real
estate and other loans. Each loan category is further  segregated into fixed and
adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and  nonperforming  categories.
The fair values of performing loans are calculated by discounting scheduled cash
flows through  estimated  maturity using  estimated  market  discount rates that
reflect the credit and  interest  rate risks  inherent  in the loans.  Estimated
maturities are based on contractual terms and repricing opportunities.
     The fair  values  of  nonperforming  loans  are  based on  recent  external
appraisals  and  discounted  cash  flow  analyses.   Estimated  cash  flows  are
discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated
cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows and discount rates are
judgementally   determined  using  available  market  information  and  specific
borrower information.

Deposit Liabilities

     The  fair   values  of   deposits   with  no  stated   maturity   (such  as
non-interest-bearing   demand  deposits  and  savings,  NOW,  money  market  and
interest-bearing  checking  accounts),  equal the amounts payable on demand. The
fair values of time deposits are based on the  discounted  value of  contractual
cash  flows  (but are not less  than the net  amount at which  depositors  could
settle their  accounts).  The discount  rates are  estimated  based on the rates
currently offered for time deposits with similar remaining maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank  Advance

     The fair value was estimated by  discounting  scheduled  cash flows through
the remaining repricing dates using current market rates.

Other  Financial Instruments

     The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, Federal Home Loan Bank stock,
accrued  interest  receivable,  accrued  interest  payable and  short-term  debt
approximated  their  carrying  values at December  31,  1996 and 1995.  The fair
values of the  agreements  to extend  credit  described in note 15 are estimated
based on the fees  currently  charged to enter into similar  agreements,  taking
into  account  the   remaining   terms  of  the   agreements   and  the  present
creditworthiness  of the counterparties.  For fixed rate loan commitments,  fair
value  estimates also consider the difference  between  current market  interest
rates and the committed rates. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the fair values of
these financial instruments  approximated the related carrying values which were
not significant.

17. Recent  Accounting  Standard

     In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 125,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial  Assets and  Extinguishments
of  Liabilities.  Transactions  within  the scope of SFAS No. 125  include  loan
securitizations,  sales of partial  interests  in financial  assets,  repurchase
agreements,  securities  lending,  pledges of collateral,  loan syndications and
participations,  sales of receivables  with recourse,  servicing of mortgage and
other loans, and in-substance defeasances of debt.
     SFAS No. 125 applies a  financial-components  approach  that focuses on the
entitys  control over a financial  asset to determine the proper  accounting for
financial  asset  transfers.  Under that approach,  after  financial  assets are
transferred,  an entity  recognizes  in the balance sheet all assets it controls
and all  liabilities  it has incurred.  The entity would remove from the balance
sheet those assets it no longer  controls and  liabilities it has satisfied.  If
the  entity  has  surrendered  control  over the  transferred  assets,  based on
criteria set forth in SFAS No. 125, the  transaction is accounted for as a sale.
If any of these criteria are not met, the transfer is accounted for as a secured
borrowing. SFAS No. 125 also requires recognition of servicing assets when loans
are sold or  securitized  with  servicing  retained.  SFAS No.  125 has  limited
applicability  to the Companys current  activities.  However,  as required,  the
Company  will apply SFAS No. 125 to  affected  transactions  entered  into on or
after January 1, 1997.  Management  anticipates that the  implementation of SFAS
No. 125 will not have a material impact on the Companys  consolidated  financial
condition or results of operations.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Jeffersonville Bancorp:

We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets of Jeffersonville
Bancorp and  subsidiary  (the Company) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related consolidated  statements of income,  changes in stockholders equity, and
cash flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period  ended  December 31,
1996. These  consolidated  financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the
Companys  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 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,  the
consolidated  financial  statements  referred to above  present  fairly,  in all
material  respects,   the  financial  position  of  Jeffersonville  Bancorp  and
subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations
and  their  cash  flows  for each of the years in the  three-year  period  ended

     The Company was organized as a New York corporation on January 12, 1982 for
the purpose of becoming a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended. Effective June 30, 1982, the Company became the
registered  bank  holding  company for the Bank which was  chartered in 1913 and
organized under the National Banking Laws of the United States.

     The Company does not pay any  compensation to directors or officers and the
compensation  payments and benefit plans described in this proxy are paid by the
Bank.  The same  members  make up the Board of Directors of both the Company and
the Bank.

                                  NEW BUSINESS

     At an annual  meeting  of  stockholders,  only such new  business  shall be
conducted  and  only  proposals  with  respect  to such  new  business  shall be
considered or acted upon,  as shall have been brought  before such meeting by or
at the direction of the Board of Directors or by any  stockholder of the Company
who gives timely  notice in writing to the Secretary of the Company as set forth
in Section 2.13 of the Company's Bylaws. For new business to be properly brought
before an annual meeting of stockholders by a stockholder,  the stockholder must
deliver notice to, or mailed and received at, the Company's  principal executive
office not less than 120 calendar  days in advance of the date of the  Company's
proxy  statement sent to  stockholders  in connection  with the previous  year's
annual  meeting of  stockholders,  except that, if no annual meeting was held in
the  previous  year or the date of the annual  meeting has been  changed by more
than 30 calendar  days from the date  contemplated  at the time of the  previous
year's  proxy  statement,  such  notice  shall be  received  by the Company in a
reasonable time before the solicitation is made. A stockholder's  notice must be
addressed  to the  Secretary  of the  Company.  A  stockholder's  notice  to the
Secretary  shall set  forth,  as to each  matter  of  business  the  stockholder
proposes to bring  before the  meeting,  (i) a brief  description  of the matter
desired to be brought  before the meeting and the  reasons for  conducting  such
business  at the  meeting;  (ii) the  name and  address  as they  appear  on the
Company's books, of the stockholder proposing such proposal; (iii) the class and
number of shares  of the  Company's  stock  that are  beneficially  owned by the
stockholder on the date of such stockholder notice and by any other stockholders
known by such  stockholder  to be  supporting  such proposal on the date of such
stockholder  notice;  and (iv) any financial interest of the stockholder in such
proposal.


                             NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS

     Nomination of candidates for election as directors at any annual meeting of
stockholders  may be  made  by the  Board  of  Directors  or by any  stockholder
entitled to vote at such annual  meeting.  Only persons  nominated in accordance
with the procedures  set forth in Section 2.12 of the Company's  Bylaws shall be
eligible for election as directors at an annual meeting.

     Nominations,  other than those made by or at the  direction of the Board of
Directors,  shall be made  pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary
of the  Company  as set forth in Section  2.12 of the  Company's  Bylaws.  To be
timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to, or mailed and received at,
the principal executive offices of the Company no later than December 2, 1996.


                                QUORUM AND VOTING

     At the close of  business  on April 1,  1997,  the  Company  had issued and
outstanding  1,182,794 shares of Common Stock.  Only holders of record of Common
Stock at the close of business on April 1, 1997,  are  entitled to notice of and
vote on matters to come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

     The  presence  in  person  or by  proxy of the  holders  of a  majority  of
outstanding  shares of common  stock  entitled to vote at the Annual  Meeting is
necessary  to  constitute  a quorum at the  Annual  Meeting  or any  adjournment
thereof.  The record holders the Common Stock are entitled to one vote in person
or by proxy in  respect  to each such  share on each  matter to come  before the
Annual Meeting.


                         ACTION TO BE TAKEN UNDER PROXY

     Each proxy unless stockholder  otherwise  indicates therein,  will be voted
"FOR" the election of the five persons named in the Proxy Statement as the Board
of  Directors'  nominees for  election to the Board of  Directors  and "FOR" the
ratification  of KPMG Peat  Marwick LLP as  independent  auditors.  In each case
where the stockholder  appropriately  specified how the proxy is to be voted, it
will be voted in  accordance  with his or her  specification.  Stockholders  may
designate a person or persons  other than those named in the  enclosed  proxy to
vote their shares at the Annual Meeting or any  adjournment  thereof.  As to any
other matter of business  which may be brought  before the Annual Meeting or any
adjournment  thereof,  a vote may be cast pursuant to the accompanying  proxy in
accordance  with the judgment of the persons voting the same, but the Board does
not know of any such other matters of business. Any stockholder has the power to
revoke his or her proxy at any time,  insofar as it has not been  exercised,  by
written  notice or  subsequently  dated  proxy sent to K.  Dwayne  Rhodes at the
Company,  Main Street,  Jeffersonville,  New York 12748,  or by oral  revocation
given by the  stockholder  in person at the Annual  Meeting  or any  adjournment
thereof.


                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     Pursuant to the Company Bylaws,  the Board of Directors has, by resolution,
fixed the number of directors at 13. The Board is divided into three classes (I,
II, III), and each director  typically serves a three-year term. A director will
initially  serve  less than  three  years if the term of office for the Class in
which he is elected  expires prior to the director's  third year in service.  In
this case, the director will stand for  reelection  with the other Class members
for a full three-year term.

     The terms of office of Class II directors  expires in 1997.  The five Class
II directors  have been  nominated to serve for  three-year  terms as members of
Class II. The Board of Directors  has  nominated  to serve as directors  John W.
Galligan,  Solomon  Katzoff,  Arthur E. Keesler,  Raymond L. Walter and Earle A.
Wilde for Class II directorship.  There are no shareholder nominees for Class II
directors.  All nominees are currently members of the Board. It is intended that
the  persons  named in the  proxies  solicited  by the  Board  will vote for the
election of the named  nominees.  If any nominee is unable to serve,  the shares
represented  by all  valid  proxies  will  be  voted  for the  election  of such
substitute as the Board of Directors may recommend or the Board of Directors may
determine  to  decrease  the size of the Board to  eliminate  the vacancy at any
time.  The Board knows of no reason why any nominee  might be unable to serve if
elected.

     The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote "For" the approval
of the five  nominees  to the Board of  Directors,  after  consideration  of the
information contained herein. Your appointed proxies will vote your shares "For"
the four nominees unless you instruct otherwise in the proxy form.


                     RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

     The Board of Directors  has  appointed the firm of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as
independent auditor of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997,
subject to ratification of such appointment by the stockholders. Representatives
of KPMG Peat  Marwick LLP are  expected to be present at the Annual  Meeting and
are  expected to make a statement if they desire to do so and/or be available to
respond to appropriate questions.
     The  Board  of  Directors  recommends  that  stockholders  vote  "For"  the
ratification of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as independent auditors.

Employee Benefit Plans

Tax-Deferred Savings Plan

     The  Company  maintains  a  qualified  401K plan for all  employees,  which
permits tax-deferred employee contributions up to 15% of salary and provides for
matching  contributions  by the Company:  Beginning in 1996, the Company matches
100% of employee  contributions up to 4% of the employee's salary and 25% of the
next 2% of the employee's salary. The Company continues to match 25% of employee
contributions  beyond 6% of the  employee's  salary  until  the  total  matching
contribution reaches $1,500 or 15%. For 1995 and 1994, the Company contributed a
maximum  of  fifty  cents  for each  dollar  contributed  by each  participating
employee,  up to a maximum  of $1,500  per  employee.  The  Company  contributed
approximately  $93,000 in 1996, $53,000 in 1995 and $48,000 in 1994. During 1996
the  bank  contributed  $7,556  and  $5,657  for  Messrs.   Walter  and  Rhodes,
respectively which amounts are including in the executive compensation table.

Pension Plan

     The Bank has a defined  benefit  pension  plan (using of the New York State
Bankers  Retirement Plan Protoype) (the "Pension  Plan") covering  substantially
all of its  employees.  The  benefits  are  based on years  of  service  and the
employee's average compensation during the five consecutive years in the last 10
years of employment  affording the highest such  average.  All W-2  compensation
paid by the Bank to its  employees  up to  $150,000  per year is  covered by the
Pension Plan, but this  limitation of $150,000 may be higher due to increases in
the  Consumer  Price  Index.  Participants  in the  Pension  Plan may choose the
following benefit option: one-sum payment, automatic joint and survivor annuity,
life annuity with 120  stipulated  payments,  or full cash refund  annuity.  The
Bank's funding  policy is to contribute  annually the maximum amount that can be
deducted for Federal income tax purposes.  Contributions are intended to provide
not only benefits  attributed to service to date but also for those  expected to
be earned in the future.

The  following  table sets forth the  estimated  annual  benefits  payable  upon
retirement to persons who have earned the specified average annual  compensation
and who have completed the specified years of creditable service:

     The single plan maximum  benefit limit under Internal  Revenue Code Section
415 as of January 1, 1995 is $120,000 ($110,880 under the Normal Form of Payment
for a Single  Participant).  The maximum  annual  compensation  allowed  under a
qualified plan is $150,000 for 1996.  The benefits above were computed  assuming
that (i) the normal form of payment to a single participant is used and (ii) the
employee turns 65 in December 1996.

     The  estimated  creditable  years of service until  retirement  for Messrs.
Walter,  and Rhodes (the two executive  officers in the proceeding  Compensation
Table, who participate in the Pension Plan) are 36 and 31 respectively.

Profit Sharing Plan

     The Bank has a profit sharing plan (the "Profit Sharing Plan") in which all
employees  of the Bank with one  complete  year of service as of November 30 may
participate  for that fiscal year.  Employees with less than one year of service
are eligible for 1/12 of their normal share for each month of service.  A profit
sharing percentage is developed for each employee of the Bank ranging firm 7% to
17% of base salary, as determined by the Personnel Evaluation Committee of three
senior  members of  management.  The profit  sharing  percentage  for all senior
management is 17% of base salary except for Messr.  Walter at 20%.  During 1996,
the Bank paid  Messrs.  Walter  and Rhodes  $29,006  and  $18,410  respectively,
pursuant  to  the  Profit-Sharing  Plan,  which  amounts  are  included  in  the
proceeding Cash Compensation Table.


REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE DATED FEBRUARY 6, 1996

This Committee  established  policies relating to the compensation of employees,
officers and executive  officers.  All decisions by the Personnel  Committee are
ratified by the Board of Directors

     Compensation  levels for officers and executive officers from March 1, 1996
through  February  28,1997  were fixed by the Board of Directors on February 27,
1996 based on recommendations  of the Committee.  The compensation to be paid to
the  executive  officers in 1996 was, on the average,  approximately  5.0% above
that paid in 1995.

The compensation  recommended and approved for executive officers is intended to
further the earnings and financial  strength of the Company through the focus of
attention on efficient and productive operations in an increasingly  competitive
environment.  To achieve this goal, the Company's Executive  Compensation Policy
integrates  annual base  compensation  with profit  sharing  based on  corporate
performance  and  individual   initiatives.   In  evaluating   annual  executive
compensation,  the Committee examines net income,  earnings per share, return on
equity, asset growth, and total return to shareholders.

     The Bank's  management  performed  well in 1995-96,  despite the  difficult
economic conditions.

     In making its recommendations for executive officer compensation, including
that for the  Chief  Executive  Officer,  the  Committee  considers  a number of
factors,  including  an  appraisal of the  officer's  performance,  the earnings
performance of the Company, and information supplied by a regionally  recognized
compensation consulting firm.

     Early in 1993,  Arthur E.  Keesler  announced  his  intention  to retire as
president and CEO of The Bank, and remain as Chairman of the Board.  Mr. Keesler
also  retained  his  designation  as Chairman of the Board and  President of The
Company. In the summer of the 1993, The Board of Directors designated Raymond L.
Walter to succeed Mr. Keesler in February 1994. Mr. Walter, employed by The Bank
since 1973,  was Executive Vice President and Senior Loan Officer at the time of
his appointment as President and CEO.

     The base  compensation of the Chief Executive  Officer,  Raymond L. Walter,
was  increased in 1996 by $8,216 over 1995 and a base increase from 1994 to 1995
of $25,012.  There was an increase in the profit sharing  percentage from 17% to
20% in 1996.

     The Committee based its recommendation  largely on Mr. Walter's performance
as President in 1994-96, as well as past performance as Executive Vice President
and believe he has shown the ability to  effectively  administer the Company and
respond successfully to a changing business environment.

                                 Earle A. Wilde, Chairman
                                 James F. Roche
                                 Solomon Katzoff
                                 Frederick W.V. Schadt


TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT

     In the  ordinary  course  of its  banking  business,  the  Bank has had and
anticipates it will continue to have  transactions with various of its executive
officers,  directors and their associates,  including corporations in which such
directors own a beneficial interest.  To the extent such transactions  consisted
of extensions of credit of any material amount, such transactions have been made
in the ordinary course of the Bank's business,  on substantially the same terms,
including  interest rates and  collateral,  as those  prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with other Bank customers,  and do not involve more than
the normal risk of collectability or other unfavorable features.
