accordance with the best judgment of the persons appointed as proxies.
Any shareholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time

Meeting on all matters properly presented at the Annual Meeting.
The following table sets forth as of the Voting Record Date, the beneficial
owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock known to the

family members filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision a Rebuttal of
Rebuttable Determination of Control under 12 C.F.R. ss.574 in order to
retain shares which collectively aggregate 11.6% of the Holding Company's

that no "control" requiring regulatory application and approval existed as
a result of the Fischer family ownership of shares.

Exchange Commission. It does not reflect any changes that may have occurred
since the date of the applicable filing.

PROPOSAL I -- ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors consists of five members. The By-Laws of the Holding
Company provide that the Board of Directors is to be divided into three classes
as nearly equal in number as possible. The members of each class are to be
elected for a term of three years and until their successors are elected and
qualified. One class of directors is to be elected annually. The nominee for
director this year is James M. Robison, who is currently a director of the
Holding Company. If elected by the shareholders, his term will expire in 2000.
Unless otherwise directed, each proxy executed and returned by a
shareholder will be voted for the election of the nominee listed below. If the
person named as nominee should be unable or unwilling to stand for election at
the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will nominate and vote for a
replacement nominee recommended by the Board of Directors, if such a replacement
is identified by the Board of Directors.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the nominee
for the position of director of the Holding Company and those persons who are
currently serving as directors of the Holding Company, including the number and
percent of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such persons as of the
Voting Record Date. The nominee for director is not related to any other
director or executive officer of the Holding Company by blood, marriage, or
adoption, and there are no arrangements or understandings between any nominee
and the other person pursuant to which any nominee was selected. The table also
sets forth the number of shares of Holding Company Common Stock beneficially
owned by executive officers and directors of the Holding Company as a group.

Presented below is certain information concerning the directors and the
director nominees of the Holding Company:
David A. Carmony (age 48) has been a director of the Holding Company since
1991 and of SCSB since 1986. Mr. Carmony has been President and 50% shareholder
of Carmony-Ewing Funeral Homes, Inc., which provides funeral services in the
Shelby County area, since 1988.
Leonard J. Fischer (age 60) has been a director of the Holding Company
since 1991 and of SCSB since 1975. Mr. Fischer is a self-employed metal
fabricator. Prior to 1986, Mr. Fischer was manager of plants and equipment for
Shelby Steel, Inc.
Rodney L. Meyerholtz (age 42) has been President and a director of the
Holding Company since 1991 and of SCSB since 1986.
James M. Robison (age 69) became a director and Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the Holding Company in 1991 and of SCSB in 1991, and has served as
legal counsel to SCSB since prior to 1986. Mr. Robison is an attorney-at-law,
associated with the Shelbyville law firm of Robison, Yeager, Good, Baldwin &
Apsley.
Robert E. Thomas (age 71) has served as a general agent for the Franklin
Life Insurance Company (Shelbyville, Indiana) since prior to 1990.
The directors shall be elected upon receipt of a plurality of the
affirmative votes cast at the Annual Shareholders Meeting. Plurality means that
individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast are elected up to the
maximum number of directors to be chosen at the meeting. Abstentions, broker
non-votes, and instructions on the accompanying proxy to withhold authority to
vote for one or more of the nominees will result in the respective nominee
receiving fewer votes. However, the number of votes otherwise received by the
nominee will not be reduced by such action.
<PAGE>
The Board of Directors and its Committees
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, the Board of Directors of
the Holding Company met 12 times. No incumbent director of the Holding Company
attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate total number of meetings of the Board
of Directors of the Holding Company held during the last fiscal year while he
served as director and the meetings of committees while he served. Among other
committees, the Board of Directors of the Holding Company has an Audit Committee
and Stock Option Committee. All committee members are appointed by the Board of
Directors.
The Audit Committee reviews the records and affairs of the Holding Company
to determine its financial condition, oversees the adequacy of the systems of
internal control, and monitors the Holding Company's adherence in accounting and
financial reporting to generally accepted accounting principles and regulatory
accounting principles, as appropriate. The Audit Committee, which currently
consists of Messrs. Carmony, Fischer and Thomas, met one time in the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1996.
The Stock Option Committee provided by the Option Plan administers the
Holding Company's Stock Option Plan. The Committee consists of Messrs. Carmony,
Fischer and Robison, and it met one time in fiscal 1996.
The Board of Directors nominated the slate of directors set forth in this
Proxy Statement. Although the Board of Directors of the Holding Company will
consider nominees recommended by shareholders, it has not actively solicited
recommendations for nominees from shareholders nor has it established procedures
for this purpose. Article III, Section 12 of the Holding Company's By-Laws
provides that shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors may
name nominees for election to the Board of Directors but there are certain
procedural requirements that must be satisfied in order to do so. Among other
things, written notice of a proposed nomination must be received by the
Secretary of the Holding Company not less than 60 days prior to the Annual
Meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than 70 days' notice or
public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to shareholders
(which notice or public disclosure includes the date of the Annual Meeting
specified in the Holding Company's By-Laws if the Annual Meeting is held on such
date), notice must be received not later than the close of business on the 10th
day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed
or such public disclosure was made.
Management Remuneration and Related Transactions
Remuneration of Named Executive Officer
No cash compensation is paid directly by the Holding Company to any of its
executive officers. Each of such officers is compensated by SCSB. Each executive
officer of the Holding Company is also a director of SCSB, and received director
fees from SCSB as described below. The following table sets forth information as
to annual, long-term and other compensation for services in all capacities to
the Holding Company and its subsidiaries for the last three fiscal years, of the
individual who served as chief executive officer of the Holding Company during
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996 (the "Named Executive Officer"). There
were no other executive officers of the Holding Company serving as such during
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, who earned over $100,000 in salary and
bonuses during that year.

Compensation of Directors
Directors of the Holding Company are not currently paid directors' fees.
Directors of SCSB are paid director fees of $850 per month and are included in
SCSB's group hospitalization coverage. The Holding Company may, if it believes
it is necessary to attract qualified directors or is otherwise beneficial to the
Holding Company, adopt a policy of paying directors' fees at some future date.
Employment Contracts
SCSB has entered into a three-year employment contract with Rodney L.
Meyerholtz, its President (the "Employee"). The contract extends annually for an
additional one-year term to maintain its three-year term if the Board of
Directors of SCSB determines to so extend it, unless notice not to extend is
properly given by either party to the contract. The Employee will receive an
initial salary under the contract equal to his current salary, subject to
increases provided by the Board of Directors. The contract also provides, among
other things, for participation in other fringe benefits and benefit plans
available to SCSB's employees. The Employee may terminate his employment upon 60
days' written notice to SCSB. SCSB may discharge the Employee for "cause" (as
defined in the contract) at any time or upon certain events specified by OTS
regulations. If SCSB terminates the Employee's employment for other than cause
or if Mr. Meyerholtz terminates his own employment for "cause" (as defined in
the contract), the Employee will receive his base compensation under the
contract (a) for an additional three years if the termination follows a change
of control in the Holding Company (as defined below) or (b) for the remaining
term of the contract if the termination does not follow a change of control. In
addition, during such period, the Employee will continue to participate in
SCSB's group insurance plans or receive comparable benefits. Moreover, within a
period of three months after such termination following a change of control, the
Employee will have the right to cause SCSB to purchase any stock options he
holds for a price equal to the fair market value (as defined
<PAGE>
in the contract) of the shares subject to such options minus their option price.
If the payments provided for in the employment contract together with any other
payments made to the Employee by SCSB are deemed to be payments in violation of
the "golden parachute" rules of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), such payments will be reduced to the largest amount that would not
cause SCSB to lose a tax deduction for payments under those rules. The cash
compensation that would be paid under the contracts to the Employee if the
contract were terminated as of the date hereof after a change in control of the
Holding Company for other than cause by SCSB or for cause by the Employee, would
be $197,340. For purposes of the employment contract, a change of control of the
Holding Company is generally an acquisition of "control" as defined in
regulations issued under the Change in Bank Control Act and the Savings and Loan
Holding Company Act not approved in advance by the Holding Company's Board of
Directors. Similar employment contracts have been entered into with two other
executive officers of the Holding Company.
Transactions With Certain Related Persons
SCSB makes available to its directors, officers and employees real estate
mortgage loans secured by their personal residence, personal loans and credit
card loans. These loans are made in the ordinary course of business with the
same collateral and underwriting criteria as those of comparable transactions
prevailing at the time and do not involve more than the normal risk of
collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA") requires that all loans or extensions of credit to executive
officers, directors, and principal shareholders be made on substantially the
same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the
time for comparable transactions with the general public and must not involve
more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.
SCSB's policy regarding loans to directors and all employees meets the
requirements of FIRREA, and all loans made since August 9, 1989 (the date FIRREA
was enacted), to directors and executive officers have been made pursuant to
that policy.
James M. Robison, Chairman of the Board of Directors of both the Holding
Company and SCSB, serves as counsel to SCSB in connection with loan closings and
provides routine legal work such as title searches and foreclosures. In
connection with his services in such capacity, Mr. Robison is paid an annual
retainer of $10,200. In addition, Mr. Robison received $7,653 in fees for his
legal work for SCSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996. SCSB expects
to continue using Mr. Robison's services for loan closings, title searches,
foreclosures, and other routine legal work.
PROPOSAL II -- RATIFICATION OF AUDITORS
The Board of Directors proposes for the ratification of the shareholders at
the Annual Meeting the appointment of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, certified public
accountants, as independent auditors for the fiscal year ending September 30,
1997. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP has served as auditors for SCSB since 1989. In the
event the appointment of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP is not approved by the
shareholders, the Board of Directors will consider appointment of other
independent auditors for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997. A
representative of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP is expected to be present at the Annual
Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if he so desires. He will be
available to respond to any appropriate questions shareholders may have.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act") requires
that the Holding Company's officers and directors and persons who own more than
10% of the Holding Company's Common Stock file reports of ownership and changes
in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Officers,
directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulation to
furnish the Holding Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they
file.
Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it,
and/or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5
were required for those persons, the Holding Company believes that during the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, all filing requirements applicable to its
officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners with respect to
Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act were satisfied in a timely manner.
<PAGE>
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
Any proposal that a shareholder wishes to have included in the Holding
Company's proxy solicitation materials to be used in connection with the next
Annual Meeting of the Holding Company must be received at the main office of the
Holding Company no later than 120 days in advance of December 31, 1997. Any such
proposal should be sent to the attention of the Secretary of the Holding Company
at 29 East Washington Street, Shelbyville, Indiana 46176.
OTHER MATTERS
Management is not aware of any business to come before the Annual Meeting
other than those matters described in this Proxy Statement. However, if any
other matters should properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is intended
that the proxies solicited hereby will be voted with respect to those other
matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting the proxies.
The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Holding Company.
The Holding Company will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians,
nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending
proxy material to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock. In addition to
solicitation by mail, directors, officers, and employees of the Holding Company
may solicit proxies personally or by telephone without additional compensation.
Each shareholder is urged to complete, date, and sign the proxy and return
it promptly in the enclosed return envelope.
