                         ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

                                 October 9, 1997

         This Proxy Statement is being furnished to the holders of common stock,
without par value (the "Common Stock"),  of Marion Capital  Holdings,  Inc. (the
"Holding Company"), an Indiana corporation,  in connection with the solicitation
of proxies by the Board of Directors  of the Holding  Company to be voted at the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held at 10:00 A.M.,  Eastern Standard Time,
on October 9, 1997, at the Holiday Inn, 501 East Fourth Street, Marion, Indiana,
and at any  adjournment  of such  meeting.  The  principal  asset of the Holding
Company  consists of 100% of the issued and outstanding  shares of common stock,
$.01 par  value per  share,  of First  Federal  Savings  Bank of Marion  ("First
Federal").  This Proxy Statement is expected to be mailed to the shareholders on
or about September 5, 1997.

         The proxy  solicited  hereby,  if properly  signed and  returned to the
Holding  Company and not revoked  prior to its use,  will be voted in accordance
with the instructions  contained therein. If no contrary instructions are given,
each proxy received will be voted for each of the matters  described  below and,
upon the  transaction  of such other  business as may  properly  come before the
meeting,  in  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
before it is exercised by (i) filing with the  Secretary of the Holding  Company
written  notice  thereof  (Larry G.  Phillips,  100 West Third  Street,  Marion,
Indiana  46952),  (ii) submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or
(iii) by appearing at the Annual Meeting and giving the Secretary  notice of his
or her intention to vote in person.  Proxies  solicited  hereby may be exercised
only at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment  thereof and will not be used for
any other meeting.

                 VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

         Only shareholders of record at the close of business on August 22, 1997
("Voting Record Date"),  will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.  On the
Voting Record Date,  there were 1,773,356  shares of the Common Stock issued and
outstanding,  and the Holding  Company  had no other class of equity  securities
outstanding.  Each share of Common  Stock is  entitled to one vote at the Annual
Meeting on all matters properly  presented at the Annual Meeting.  A majority of
the votes  entitled to be cast, in person or by proxy,  at the Annual Meeting is
necessary for a quorum. In determining whether a quorum is present, shareholders
who abstain, cast broker non-votes, or withhold authority to vote on one or more
director  nominees will be deemed  present at the Annual  Meeting.  There are no
persons known to management beneficially owning 5% or more of the Common Stock.

                       PROPOSAL I -- ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

         The Board of Directors,  by resolution  adopted pursuant to the By-Laws
of the Holding Company, established that the Board of Directors shall consist of
seven  members.  Effective  July 21, 1997, Jon R. Marler was elected to fill the
vacancy on the Board created by the death of Robert D. Burchard in June of 1997.
The By-Laws  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 nominees for
director  this year are Jerry D.  McVicker and Jon R. Marler,  each of whom is a
current director of the Holding  Company.  If elected by the shareholders at the
Annual Meeting, the terms of Messrs. McVicker and Marler will expire in 2000.

         Unless  otherwise  directed,  each proxy  executed  and  returned  by a
shareholder  will be voted for the election of the nominees listed below. If any

<PAGE>

person named as a 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.  At this time, the
Board of Directors  knows of no reason why the nominees  listed below may not be
able to serve as directors if elected.

         The following table sets forth certain information  regarding directors
continuing  in office and the  nominees  for the  position  of  director  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.  Unless
otherwise  indicated,  each person in the table below has sole investment and/or
voting power with respect to the shares  shown as  benefically  owned by him. No
nominee for  director is related to any other  nominee for director or executive
officer of the Holding Company by blood, marriage, or adoption, and there are no
arrangements or understandings between any nominee and any other person pursuant
to which  such  nominee  was  selected.  The table also sets forth the number of
shares of Holding Company Common Stock  benefically  owned by Larry G. Phillips,
one of the  Holding  Company's  executive  officers,  and by all  directors  and
executive officers of the Holding Company as a group.

Presented  below is certain  information  concerning  the directors and director
nominees of the Holding Company:

         Steven L.  Banks  (age 47) has been  Executive  Vice  President  of the
Holding Company and First Federal since September 1, 1996. Theretofore he served
as President  and Chief  Executive  Officer of Fidelity  Federal  Savings  Bank,
Marion, Indiana since prior to 1991.

         W.  Gordon  Coryea  (age 72) is an  attorney  at law  based in  Marion,
Indiana, and has served as attorney for First Federal since 1965.

         John M. Dalton  (age 63) has served as  President  and Chief  Executive
Officer of the Holding  Company and First Federal since February,  1996,  became
Vice  Chairman of the Holding  Company and First  Federal in August,  1996,  and
became  Chairman  of the  Holding  Company  and  First  Federal  in July,  1997.
Theretofore  he served as Executive  Vice  President of First Federal since 1983
and of the Holding  Company  since 1992.  He also serves as  President  of First
Marion.

         Jon R. Marler (age 47) has served as Senior Vice  President of Ralph M.
Williams and  Associates (a real estate  developer  located in Marion,  Indiana)
since June 1982.

         Jerry D.  McVicker  (age 52) has served as Director of  Operations  for
Marion Community Schools (education) since April, 1996. Theretofore he served as
Assistant Principal of Marion High School since prior to 1991.

         Jack O. Murrell (age 74) served as President of Murrell and Keal, Inc.,
since 1958 (a retailer located in Marion, Indiana) until his retirement in 1993.

         George L. Thomas (age 80) served as Chairman of the Foster-Forbes Glass
Co., a division of the  National  Can  Corporation,  located in Marion,  Indiana
until his retirement in 1984.

         THE  DIRECTORS  SHALL  BE  ELECTED  UPON  RECEIPT  OF  A  PLURALITY  OF
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  nominees
receiving fewer votes.  However,  the number of votes otherwise  received by the
nominee will not be reduced by such action.

The Board of Directors and its Committees

         During the fiscal year ended June 30,  1997,  the Board of Directors of
the Holding  Company met six times.  No director  attended fewer than 75% of the
aggregate  total number of meetings  during the last fiscal year of the Board of
Directors  of the  Holding  Company  held  while he  served as  director  and of
meetings of  committees  which he served  during that fiscal  year.  Among other
committees, the Board of Directors of the Holding Company has an Audit Committee
and a Stock Compensation  Committee.  All committee members are appointed by the
Board of Directors.

         The Audit Committee, comprised of Messrs. Coryea, McVicker and Murrell,
recommends the appointment of the Holding Company's independent accountants, and
meets with them to outline the scope and review the  results of such audit.  The
Audit  Committee meets as needed and held one meeting during the year ended June
30, 1997.

         The Stock  Compensation  Committee  administers  the Holding  Company's
Stock  Option  Plan and the RRP.  The  members  of that  Committee  are  Messrs.
Murrell, and Thomas. It did not meet during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.

         The Board of Directors  nominated  the slate of directors  set forth in
the 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
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,

<PAGE>

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.

       Compensation of Directors

         All  directors  of First  Federal  receive a  retainer  fee of $600 per
month, plus a fee of $600 per Board meeting attended. All directors receive $150
for each special  meeting of the Board  attended.  Members of Board  Committees,
other than  officers,  are paid a separate fee of $100 per  meeting,  unless the
meetings are unusually  long in which case $150 per meeting is paid. As Chairman
of the Board of First  Federal,  Mr. Dalton  receives a retainer fee of $900 per
month, plus a fee of $900 per Board meeting attended.

         Directors  of the Holding  Company are paid a fee of $50 per meeting if
the  meeting  is held on the same day as a First  Federal  meeting  and $100 per
meeting if the Holding Company meets on a different day.

         Supplemental  Retirement  Plan for  Directors.  Effective  May 1, 1992,
First Federal  entered into  deferred  compensation  agreements  which remain in
effect for the  directors  listed  below.  These  agreements  provide  that upon
retirement  from the  Board  after  attaining  age 70,  each  director  shall be
entitled to receive annual  benefits in the following  amounts for the following
number of years following such termination of service as a director:

                                                 Period Remaining Payable
  Director                 Annual Payment            at June 30, 1997
  -------------------------------------------------------------------
  John M. Dalton                 $9,960                   10 years
  Jack O.  Murrell              $10,500               7 years, 8 months
  W. Gordon Coryea               $8,748               7 years, 7 months
  George L. Thomas              $10,392               7 years, 9 months

         At the request of a director  and subject to First  Federal's  consent,
payments may be made in a lump sum rather than annual  installments.  A director
may also elect to receive his benefits upon  attaining age 70 even if he remains
on the Board of Directors.  If service is  terminated,  the director may request
acceleration of payments based upon the accruals to date.

         If the director  dies prior to attaining age 70, his  beneficiary  will
receive  annual  payments  equal to the Board fees paid by First  Federal in the
twelve  months  immediately  prior to his death for a period of 15 years.  If he
dies after his benefits  commence,  his beneficiary  will be entitled to receive
the remaining payments over the balance of the applicable payment period.

         A director has the option of increasing his benefits  payable under the
plan by deferring a larger amount of his directors fees to help fund the payment
of such increased benefits, although no director has elected to do so.


<PAGE>

         First  Federal  for the fiscal  year ended  June 30,  1997,  accrued an
expense for this plan of $133,588 of which $32,250 consisted of interest on this
deferred liability which accrues at an annual rate of 10.5%.

         Death Benefit Agreements with Directors. First Federal, as of April 30,
1988,  entered into an agreement  with Mr.  Coryea which  provides that upon his
death his  beneficiary  will be  entitled to receive  for a 15-year  period,  an
annual  payment of $26,000.  The payment of these death  benefits is conditioned
upon the continuous  service of Mr. Coryea for a period of five years  following
the adoption of the plan and until attaining age 70.

         First Federal has purchased  paid-up life insurance on the lives of the
directors covered under the supplemental retirement plan for directors and death
benefit  agreement  described above, to fund the benefits  available under these
plans.

         Transactions With Certain Related Persons

         First  Federal  may make  available  to its  directors,  officers,  and
employees real estate  mortgage loans secured by their  principal  residence and
other loans.  These loans are made in the ordinary  course of business  with the
same collateral, interest rates 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.

         W. Gordon  Coryea,  a director  of both the  Holding  Company and First
Federal,   serves  as  counsel  to  First  Federal  in   connection   with  loan
delinquencies  and  provides  routine  legal  work  such  as  deed  preparation,
foreclosures and preparation of other legal documents.  Mr. Coryea received fees
of $32,035 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, for such services.  First
Federal expects to continue using Mr. Coryea's  services for such matters in the
current fiscal year.

                     PROPOSAL II -- RATIFICATION OF AUDITORS

         The  Board  of  Directors   proposes  for  the   ratification   of  the
shareholders  at the Annual  Meeting the  appointment of Geo. S. Olive & Co.LLC,
certified public accountants,  as independent auditors for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1998.  Geo. S. Olive & Co.LLC has served as auditors for First  Federal
since 1979.  A  representative  of Geo. S. Olive & Co.LLC will be present at the
Annual  Meeting with the  opportunity  to make a statement if he so desires.  He
will also be available to respond to any appropriate questions  shareholders may
have.

             SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

         Section  16(a) of the  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 SEC.  Officers,  directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by
SEC  regulations 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 June 30,  1997,  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.

                              SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

         Any proposal  which a shareholder  wishes to have presented at the next
Annual Meeting of the Holding Company must be received at the main office of the
Holding  Company for the inclusion in the proxy statement no later than 120 days
in  advance  of  September  5,  1998.  Any such  proposal  should be sent to the
attention  of the  Secretary  of the Holding  Company at 100 West Third  Street,
Marion, Indiana 46952.

                                  OTHER MATTERS

         Management  is not aware of any  business  to come  before  the  Annual
Meeting other than those matters described in the 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.


<PAGE>

         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 envelope.


                                       By Order of the Board of Directors

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marion Capital Holdings, Inc. ("MCHI"), an Indiana corporation, became a unitary
savings and loan holding  company upon the  conversion of First Federal  Savings
Bank of Marion ("First  Federal" and,  together with MCHI, the "Company") from a
federally  chartered mutual savings bank to a federally  chartered stock savings
bank in March,  1993.  The Company  conducts  business  from a single  office in
Marion, Grant County, Indiana, and First Federal has a branch office in Decatur,
Indiana.  In addition,  First Federal anticipates the opening of a branch inside
the Wal-Mart  Supercenter in Marion and also expects a branch acquisition in Gas
City,  Grant  County,  Indiana to be completed  during  fiscal year end June 30,
1998.  First  Federal is and  historically  has been  among the top real  estate
mortgage  lenders  in Grant  County  and is the  largest  independent  financial
institution  headquartered  in Grant County.  First Federal  offers a variety of
lending,  deposit  and other  financial  services  to its retail and  commercial
customers.  MCHI has no other business  activity than being the holding  company
for First  Federal,  except  that  during  the year ended  June 30,  1997,  MCHI
extended a $2.5 million loan to a non-related bank holding company.  MCHI is the
sole shareholder of First Federal.

To Our Shareholders

On June 30, 1997,  Marion Capital  Holdings,  Inc. ended its fourth full year of
operations  as a unitary  savings and loan holding  company.  The Company  began
operations on March 18, 1993 when First Federal - Marion  converted to a federal
stock savings bank. First Federal completed its 61st year on July 20, 1997.

Our net income for the year ended June 30,  1997 was  $2,440,000,  a decrease of
$41,000 or 1.7%  compared to the results for the year ended June 30,  1996.  The
decrease   in  earnings   is   attributable   to  the  signing  of  the  Omnibus
Appropriations  Bill  on  September  30,  1996,  that  imposed  a  special  FDIC
assessment for all SAIF-insured  deposits.  This assessment amounted to $777,000
and is included in other expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 1997.  The
after-tax  effect on net  income was  $469,000.  Since  January 1, 1997,  and in
future periods, the Company will benefit from a reduction in FDIC premiums which
should have a positive  effect on future  earnings.  Earnings  per share for the
year ended June 30,  1997,  was $1.30,  an increase  of 6.6% over 1996.  In June
1997, the Board of Directors  increased the quarterly dividend to $.22 per share
from  $.20  per  share.  Net  interest  income  increased  in the  past  year to
$7,026,000  from  $6,887,000,  an increase  of 2.0%.  The  interest  rate spread
increased  to 3.21% for the year  ended June 30,  1997,  from 3.01% for the year
ended June 30, 1996.

Shareholders'  equity was $39,066,000 on June 30, 1997, a decrease of $2,445,000
due to the  Company's  continual  repurchase  of its  common  stock  in the open
market. During the past year Marion Capital retired 188,887 shares at an average
cost of  $21.17.  Book value has now  increased  to $22.09 per share at June 30,
1997 from $21.47 per share on June 30, 1996. 

Loans remained strong for this past year,  increasing to over  $148,000,000 from
$143,000,000  or 3.4%.  This was the major  reason for the net yield on weighted
average  interest-earning  assets increasing to 4.29% from 4.17% even though the
yield on mortgage loans decreased from 8.78% for the year ended June 30, 1996 to
8.62% for the year ended June 30, 1997. In June 1997, Marion Capital lost a true
friend of this organization,  Robert D. Burchard. Bob passed away on June 26. He
had been Chairman of the Board since  August,  1996 and had served First Federal
since 1959. His financial  wisdom will be difficult to replace.  He is missed by
his family, friends and business associates.  He was a friend to the undersigned
for 50 years. All of us are deeply saddened by his passing.

On July 21,  1997 Jon R. Marler was  appointed a director to fill the  unexpired
term of Robert D. Burchard.  Mr. Marler,  47 years of age, is currently Sr. Vice
President of Ralph M. Williams & Associates of Marion, Indiana. He is a lifetime
resident  of the  Marion  area and  brings a broad  business  background  to our
organization.  Also,  during July,  1997 the  undersigned,  John M. Dalton,  was
elected Chairman of the Board.

Looking to the future, we are very enthusiastic with our  opportunities.  In the
spring of 1997 we asked for and  received  permission  to  establish a full-time
sales office in the new Wal-Mart  Supercenter  in Marion.  We were selected over
other financial institutions, and we will be the first full-service,  seven days
per week,  bank in Grant County,  Indiana.  We could not build a branch anywhere
with this kind of foot  traffic.  This sales  office  should be open in October,
1997.  In addition,  we will be acquiring  the branch  office of NBD Bank in Gas
City,  Indiana,  which is our  second  largest  customer  area.  It is a natural
expansion of our franchise.  We will be receiving  approximately  $10 million in
deposits  and a ten year old  facility.  This is a strategic  location to better
serve our communities.

We  appreciate  the  continued  support  and  confidence  of our  customers  and
shareholders  as we proceed into the future.  Remember,  this is your Bank so be
sure to use it for all your personal and business needs and recommend it to your
friends and neighbors.

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

     The principal business of thrift institutions, including First Federal, has
historically consisted of attracting deposits from the general public and making
loans secured by residential and commercial  real estate.  First Federal and all
other savings  associations are  significantly  affected by prevailing  economic
conditions,  as well as government  policies and regulations  concerning,  among
other things,  monetary and fiscal affairs,  housing and financial institutions.
Deposit flows are  influenced by a number of factors,  including  interest rates
paid on competing  investments,  account maturities and level of personal income
and savings.  In addition,  deposit growth is affected by how customers perceive
the stability of the financial  services  industry amid various  current  events
such as  regulatory  changes,  failures  of  other  financial  institutions  and
financing of the deposit  insurance fund.  Lending  activities are influenced by
the demand for and supply of housing lenders, the availability and cost of funds
and  various  other  items.  Sources  of funds for  lending  activities  include
deposits,  payments on loans, proceeds from sale of loans, borrowings, and funds
provided from operations.  The Company's  earnings are primarily  dependent upon
net  interest  income,  the  difference  between  interest  income and  interest
expense.

     Interest  income is a function  of the  balances  of loans and  investments
outstanding  during a given  period  and the  yield  earned  on such  loans  and
investments.  Interest  expense is a function  of the  amounts of  deposits  and
borrowings  outstanding  during the same period and rates paid on such  deposits
and borrowings.  The Company's earnings are also affected by provisions for loan
and real estate losses,  service  charges,  income from  subsidiary  activities,
operating expenses and income taxes.

Asset/Liability Management

     First Federal, like other savings associations, is subject to interest rate
risk to the degree that its  interest-bearing  liabilities,  primarily  deposits
with short and medium-term maturities, mature or reprice at different rates than
its interest-earning  assets. Although having liabilities that mature or reprice
less  frequently  on average than assets will be  beneficial  in times of rising
interest  rates,  such an  asset/liability  structure  will  result in lower net
income  during  periods of  declining  interest  rates,  unless  offset by other
factors.

     Since the early 1980's, First Federal's asset/liability management strategy
has been directed  toward  reducing its exposure to a rise in interest rates. At
June 30, 1997, First Federal's  cumulative  One-Year Gap, based on total assets,
was a positive  8.22% and has been  positive  at the end of each  quarter  since
September  30,  1988.  A positive  interest  rate gap can be  expected to have a
favorable  effect on the Company's  earnings in periods of rising interest rates
because  during such periods  interest  income  earned on assets will  generally
increase more rapidly than the interest expense paid on liabilities. Conversely,
in a falling  interest  rate  environment,  the  interest  earned on assets will
generally  decline more rapidly than the total  expense paid on  liabilities.  A
negative  interest  rate  gap will  have the  opposite  effects.  First  Federal
protects  against  problems  arising in a falling  interest rate  environment by
requiring  interest rate minimums on its  residential and commercial real estate
adjustable-rate  mortgages  ("ARMs")  and against  problems  arising in a rising
interest rate  environment by having in excess of 89% of its mortgage loans with
adjustable rate features. Due to the interest rate minimums, the Company has not
experienced a  significant  decline in net interest  yield in recent  periods of
declining interest rates. First Federal's  management believes that the interest
rate gap measurement does not accurately depict its interest  sensitivity due to
its success in utilizing  interest rate  minimums.  As noted in the table on the
following  page,  $67.2  million,  or 42.8%,  of the Company's  interest-earning
assets reprice or mature in the 12 months ending June 30, 1998, which could have
a  significant  impact on future yields and net interest  margin.  First Federal
includes interest rate minimums on almost all loans  originated,  and management
believes  that these  minimums,  which  establish  floors  below  which the loan
interest  rate  cannot  decline,  will  continue  to reduce  its  interest  rate
vulnerability in a declining  interest rate environment.  For the loans which do
not adjust because of the interest rate minimums,  there is an increased risk of
prepayment.  In periods of rising  interest  rates,  the impact on the Company's
yields and net interest  margin  should be  favorable  because  interest  income
earned on its assets will generally  increase more rapidly than interest paid on
its liabilities.


<PAGE>

     Loan prepayments increased in the year ended June 30, 1997, compared to the
prior fiscal year. Although less than 11% of the Company's  residential mortgage
portfolio  consists of  fixed-rate  loans,  prepayments  could have an impact on
yields and net interest  margins in periods of falling  interest rates.  The net
yield on loans for the year ended June 30,  1997,  was  8.62%,  a decrease  from
8.78% for the the year ended June 30, 1996.  While loan yields  decreased during
these  periods,  the net interest  margin  increased to 4.29% for the year ended
June 30, 1997, from 4.17% in the prior fiscal year.  First Federal  believes its
asset/liability  strategy of maintaining  over 89% of the Company's  residential
portfolio  in ARMs and  requiring  interest  rate  minimums  on these loans will
continue to protect net interest margins.

     The Company's mortgage-backed security portfolio is subject to prepayments,
and for those  mortgage-backed  securities  with  variable  interest  rates,  to
changing  yields.  These  prepayments  have  increased  in  recent  years as the
underlying  mortgages have been refinanced at lower interest rates, and interest
rate changes on adjustable-rate  mortgage-backed securities could have an effect
on First  Federal's  asset/liability  management  strategy.  Since the Company's
mortgage-backed  security  portfolio only represents .14% of the Company's total
assets  at June  30,  1997,  management  believes  that  such  impact  would  be
insignificant.

     The following table illustrates the projected  maturities and the repricing
of the major  asset and  liability  categories  of First  Federal as of June 30,
1997.  Maturity  and  repricing  dates  have  been  projected  by  applying  the
assumptions  set  forth  below to  contractual  maturity  and  repricing  dates.
Classifications  of such  items in the table  below  are  different  from  those
presented in other schedules and financial statements included herein and do not

     In preparing the table above it has been assumed, in assessing the interest
rate  sensitivity  of  savings  institutions,  that  (i)  adjustable-rate  first
mortgage loans will prepay at the rate of 12% per year;  (ii)  fixed-rate  first
mortgage loans will prepay at the rate of 10% per maturity  classification,  and
(iii) nonmortgage loans and investments will not prepay.

     In addition,  it is assumed that fixed maturity  deposits are not withdrawn
prior to maturity, and that other deposits are withdrawn or repriced as follows:

</TABLE>

(1)  Based  on  actual  industry  and  historical  experience,   management  has
     determined that these deposit rates and balances  respond slowly to changes
     in market rates and that  balances  tend to remain with First  Federal even
     when market rates rise above deposit rates.

     In evaluating the Company's  exposure to interest rate  movements,  certain
shortcomings  inherent  in the method of  analysis  presented  in the  foregoing
tables must be considered.  For example, although certain assets and liabilities
may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different
degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain
types of assets and  liabilities  may  fluctuate in advance of changes in market
interest  rates,  while  interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in
market rates.  Additionally,  certain assets,  such as ARMs, have features which
restrict  changes in interest  rates on a short-term  basis and over the life of
the asset. In particular, most of First Federal's ARMs and adjustable-rate loans
have  interest  rate  minimums  of  6.00%  for  residential  loans  and 7.0% for
commercial real estate loans.  Currently,  originations of residential ARMs have
interest rate minimums of 6.00%.  Further,  in the event of a change in interest
rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly
from  those  assumed in  calculating  the table.  Finally,  the  ability of many
borrowers to service  their debt may  decrease in the event of an interest  rate
increase although First Federal does underwrite these mortgages at approximately
4.0% above the origination  rate. The Company  considers all of these factors in
monitoring its exposure to interest rate risk.

Average Balances and Interest

     The following table presents for the periods  indicated the monthly average
balances  of  each  category  of  the  Company's   interest-earning  assets  and
interest-bearing  liabilities,  the interest earned or paid on such amounts, and
the average  yields earned and rates paid.  Such yields and costs are determined
by dividing  income or expense by the average  balance of assets or liabilities,
respectively,  for the periods  presented.  Management  believes that the use of
month-end  average balances instead of daily average balances has not caused any
material difference in the information presented.

Interest Rate Spread

     The following table sets forth the weighted average effective interest rate
earned  by the  Company  on its loan and  investment  portfolios,  the  weighted
average  effective cost of the Company's  deposits,  the interest rate spread of
the Company, and the net yield on weighted average  interest-earning  assets for
the period and as of the date shown.  Average  balances  are based on  month-end
average balances.

(1)    Average balances include non-accrual loans.

(2)    Interest  rate spread is  calculated  by  subtracting  combined  weighted
       average  interest rate cost from combined  weighted average interest rate
       earned for the period  indicated.  Interest  rate spread  figures must be
       considered  in  light  of  the   relationship   between  the  amounts  of
       interest-earning  assets and interest-bearing  liabilities.  Since MCHI's
       interest-earning  assets  exceeded its  interest-bearing  liabilities for
       each of the three  years shown  above,  a positive  interest  rate spread
       resulted in net interest income.

(3)    The net yield on weighted average  interest-earning  assets is calculated
       by dividing  net  interest  income by weighted  average  interest-earning
       assets for the period indicated. No net yield figure is presented at June
       30, 1997,  because the computation of net yield is applicable only over a
       period rather than at a specific date.

     The following table describes the extent to which changes in interest rates
and changes in volume of  interest-related  assets and liabilities have affected
the Company's interest income and expense during the periods indicated. For each
category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing  liability,  information
is provided  on changes  attributable  to (1)  changes in rate  (changes in rate
multiplied  by old  volume)  and  (2)  changes  in  volume  (changes  in  volume
multiplied  by old rate).  Changes  attributable  to both rate and  volume  that
cannot be segregated  have been  allocated  proportionally  to the change due to
volume and the change due to rate.

Changes in Financial  Position  and Results of  Operations - Year Ended June 30,
1997, Compared to Year Ended June 30, 1996:

     General.  MCHI's  total  assets were  $173.3  million at June 30,  1997,  a
decrease  of $4.5  million  or 2.5% from June 30,  1996.  During  1997,  average
interest-earnings   assets  decreased  $1.5  million,   or  .9%,  while  average
interest-bearing liabilities increased $.4 million, or .3%, compared to June 30,
1996.  Cash and cash  equivalents  and  investment  securities  decreased  $10.1
million, or 46.9%,  primarily as a result of their use in funding increased loan
originations.  Net  loans  increased  $4.9  million,  or  3.4%,  primarily  from
originations of 1- 4 family real estate loans, 1-4 family equity lending,  and a
$2.5  million  loan  to  a  non-related  bank  holding  company.  Certain  loans
originated  during  the year were sold to other  investors.  All such loan sales
were  consummated  at the time of  origination of the loan, and at June 30, 1997
and 1996, no loans in the portfolio were held for sale.  Deposits decreased $4.5
million,  to $121.8 million,  or 3.6%, at June 30, 1997 from the amount reported
last year.

     MCHI's net income for the year  ended  June 30,  1997 was $2.4  million,  a
decrease of $41,000,  or 1.7% over the results for the year ended June 30, 1996.
Net interest  income  increased  $139,000,  or 2.0%, from the previous year, and
provision  for losses on loans in the amount of $58,000  increasd  $24,000  from
that recorded in 1996.

     Stock  Repurchases.  During the year ended June 30, 1997, MCHI  repurchased
188,887  shares of common stock in the open market at an average cost of $21.17,
or approximately  97.5% of average book value. This repurchase  amounted to 9.8%
of the outstanding  stock. In May, 1997, MCHI authorized  another 87,905 shares,
or 5% of its  outstanding  stock,  to be  repurchased.  As of June 30, 1997,  no
shares had been repurchased. These open-market purchases are intended to enhance
the book value per share and enhance potential for growth in earnings per share.

     Cash Dividends.  Since First  Federal's  conversion in March 1993, MCHI has
paid  quarterly  dividends in each  quarter,  amounting to $.125 for each of the
first four quarters,  $.15 per share for each of the second four quarters,  $.18
per share for each of the third  four  quarters,  $.20 per share for each of the
fourth four quarters, and $.22 in the most recent quarter ended June 30, 1997.

     Interest  Income.  MCHI's total interest income for the year ended June 30,
1997 was $13.7 million,  which was unchanged  from interest  income for the year
ended June 30, 1996.

     Interest Expense.  Total interest expense for the year ended June 30, 1997,
was $6.7  million,  which was a  decrease  of  $146,000,  or 2.1% from  interest
expense for the year ended June 30, 1996.  This  decrease  resulted  principally
from a decrease in the cost on interest  bearing  liabilities  from 5.3% to 5.2%
while average interest earning liabilities remained relatively unchanged.

     Provision  for Losses on Loans.  The  provision for the year ended June 30,
1997,  was  58,000,  compared  to $34,000 in 1996.  The 1997  chargeoffs  net of
recoveries totaled $35,000,  compared to the prior year of $38,000. The ratio of
the  allowance for loan losses to total loans  decreased  from 1.38% at June 30,
1996 to 1.35% at June 30, 1997,  and the ratio of  allowance  for loan losses to
nonperforming  loans increased from 117.07% at June 30, 1996, to 143.98% at June
30, 1997. The 1997 provision was to replenish the allowance for loan losses as a
result of chargeoffs and to maintain  management's  desired reserve  ratios.  In
determining  the provision for loan losses for the years ended June 30, 1997 and
1996, MCHI considered  past loan  experience,  changes in the composition of the
loan portfolio and the current condition and amount of loans outstanding.

     Other Income. MCHI's other income for the year ended June 30, 1997, totaled
$923,000,  compared to $247,000 for 1996, an increase of $676,000. This increase
was due  primarily  to a $691,000  increase in life  insurance  income and death
benefits.  During the year ended  June 30,  1997,  the  Company  received  death
benefit  proceeds  from  key man  life  insurance  policies  in  excess  of cash
surrender  value of the policies.  This increase was in part offset by increased
losses from investment in limited partnerships.

<PAGE>

     Other  Expenses.  MCHI's  other  expenses for the year ended June 30, 1997,
totaled $5.1 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 36.3%, from the year ended
June 30,  1996.  This  increase is directly  attributable  to the signing of the
Omnibus  Appropriations  Bill  September  30, 1996 which  imposed a FDIC special
assessment  for  all  institutions  with  SAIF-insured  deposits.  SAIF  insured
institutions, like the Company, are benefiting from a reduction of FDIC premiums
which  began  January  1,  1997 and  should  have a  positive  effect  on future
earnings.  In  addition,   salaries  and  employee  benefits  expense  increased
$468,000, or 12.6%, due to increases in deferred compensation expense and normal
increases in employee compensation and related payroll taxes.

     Income Tax  Expense.  Income tax expense for the year ended June 30,  1997,
totaled $400,000,  a decrease of $513,000 from the expense recorded in 1996. Tax
expense on earnings was offset by certain  low-income  housing tax credits which
totaled  $423,000  for the years  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.  Additional  tax
credits  are  available  through the year ended June 30,  1998.  During the year
ended June 30, 1997, income before income tax decreased, and additional tax free
income from an increase in cash value of life  insurance and death  benefits was
recorded. As a result, the effective tax expense for the Company was reduced.

Changes in Financial  Position  and Results of  Operations - Year Ended June 30,
1996, Compared to Year Ended June 30, 1995:

     General.  MCHI's  total  assets were $177.8  million at June 30,  1996,  an
increase  of $5.1  million  or 2.9% from June 30,  1995.  During  1996,  average
interest-earnings   assets  increased  $4.6  million,  or  2.9%,  while  average
interest-bearing  liabilities  increased $4.7 million, or 3.8%, compared to June
30, 1995.  Cash and cash  equivalents and investment  securities  decreased $2.2
million,  or 9.1%,  primarily as a result of their use in funding increased loan
originations.  Net  loans  increased  $6.8  million,  or  5.0%,  primarily  from
originations  of 1-4 family and  multi-family  real estate loans.  Certain loans
originated  during  the year were sold to other  investors.  All such loan sales
were  consummated  at the time of  origination of the loan, and at June 30, 1996
and 1995, no loans in the portfolio were held for sale.  Deposits increased $5.6
million,  to $126.3 million,  or 4.7%, at June 30, 1996 from the amount reported
last year.

     MCHI's net income for the year  ended June 30,  1996 was $2.5  million,  an
increase of $51,000,  or 2.1% over the results for the year ended June 30, 1995.
Net interest  income  increased  $23,000,  or .3%, from the previous  year,  and
provision  for losses on loans in the amount of $34,200  decreasd  $33,300  from
that recorded in 1995.

     Stock  Repurchases.  During the year ended June 30, 1996, MCHI  repurchased
100,658  shares of common stock in the open market at an average cost of $20.53,
or approximately  96% of average book value.  This repurchase  amounted to 5% of
the  outstanding  stock,  the maximum  amount of stock that could be repurchased
prior to March 18, 1996 under Office of Thrift Supervision  ("OTS")  regulations
then in effect, except in special  circumstances.  This 5% limitation expired on
March 18, 1996. In July, 1996, MCHI repurchased another 96,680 shares, or 5%, at
an average cost of $20.33, or approximately 95% of book value. These open-market
purchases are intended to enhance the book value per share and enhance potential
for growth in earnings per share.

     Cash Dividends.  Since First  Federal's  conversion in March 1993, MCHI has
paid  quarterly  dividends in each  quarter,  amounting to $.125 for each of the
first four quarters,  $.15 per share for each of the second four quarters,  $.18
per share for each of the third  four  quarters,  and $.20 per share in the most
recent quarter ended June 30, 1996.

     Interest  Income.  MCHI's total interest income for the year ended June 30,
1996 was $13.7 million,  an increase of $954,000,  or 7.5%, from interest income
for the year ended June 30, 1995.  This increase  resulted  principally  from an
increase  in the yield on  interest  earning  assets  from 7.96% to 8.32% and an
increase in average interest earning assets of $4.6 million.

     Interest Expense.  Total interest expense for the year ended June 30, 1996,
was $6.9  million,  which was an increase of  $931,000,  or 15.7% from  interest
expense for the year ended June 30, 1995.  This  increase  resulted  principally
from an increase in the cost on interest bearing liabilities from 4.76% to 5.31%
and an increase in average interest earning liabilities of $4.7 million.

     Provision  for Losses on Loans.  The  provision for the year ended June 30,
1996,  was  $34,200,  compared to $67,500 in 1995.  The 1996  chargeoffs  net of
recoveries totaled $38,000, compared to the prior year of $105,000. The ratio of
the  allowance for loan losses to total loans  decreased  from 1.45% at June 30,
1995 to 1.38% at June 30, 1996,  and the ratio of  allowance  for loan losses to
nonperforming  loans increased from 114.87% at June 30, 1995, to 117.07% at June
30, 1996. The 1996 provision was to replenish the allowance for loan losses as a
result of chargeoffs and to maintain  management's  desired reserve  ratios.  In
determining  the provision for loan losses for the years ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, MCHI considered  past loan  experience,  changes in the composition of the
loan portfolio and the current condition and amount of loans outstanding.

     Other Income. MCHI's other income for the year ended June 30, 1996, totaled
$247,000,  compared to $213,000 for 1995, an increase of $34,000, or 16.0%. This
increase was due in part from increased loan service fees of $12,000.

     Other  Expenses.  MCHI's  other  expenses for the year ended June 30, 1996,
totaled $3.7 million which was unchanged from the previous year. This represents
the third  consecutive  year  where  other  expenses  have  remained  relatively
constant.  There  were  no  significant  changes  in any of  the  other  expense
categories.

     Income Tax  Expense.  Income tax expense for the year ended June 30,  1996,
totaled  $913,000,  a decrease of $3,000 from the expense  recorded in 1995. Tax
expense on earnings was offset by certain  low-income  housing tax credits which
totaled  $423,000  and  $406,000  for the years  ended  June 30,  1996 and 1995.
Additional tax credits are available through the year ended June 30, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's primary source of funds is its deposits.  To a lesser extent,
the Company has also relied upon loan payments and payoffs and Federal Home Loan
Bank  ("FHLB")  advances  as sources of funds.  Scheduled  loan  payments  are a
relatively  stable  source of funds,  but loan  payoffs  and  deposit  flows can
fluctuate  significantly,  being influenced by interest rates,  general economic
conditions and competition. First Federal attempts to price its deposits to meet
its  asset/liability   management   objectives   consistent  with  local  market
conditions.  First Federal's access to FHLB advances is limited to approximately
62% of First Federal's  available  collateral.  At June 30, 1997, such available
collateral totaled $98.0 million.  Based on existing FHLB lending policies,  the
Company could have obtained approximately $53.0 million in additional advances.

     First Federal's deposits have remained relatively stable, averaging between
$126 and $121  million,  for the three years in the period  ended June 30, 1997.
The percentage of IRA deposits to total deposits has increased from 21.0% ($25.4
million) at June 30, 1994, to 24.4% ($29.7 million) at June 30, 1997. During the
same period,  deposits in withdrawable accounts have decreased from 37.2% ($45.0
million) of total  deposits at June 30, 1994,  to 30.3% ($36.9  million) at June
30,  1997.  This  change in  deposit  composition,  attributable  to the  higher
interest  rates  currently  paid  on  longer  term  certificates,  has not had a
significant  effect on First  Federal's  liquidity.  The  impact on  results  of
operations  from this  change in deposit  composition  has been a  reduction  in
interest  expense on deposits due to a decrease in the average cost of funds. It
is estimated  that yields and net interest  margin would  increase in periods of
rising  interest  rates  since  short-term  assets  reprice  more  rapidly  than
short-term  liabilities.  In periods of falling interest rates, little change in
yields or net interest  margin is expected since First Federal has interest rate
minimums on a significant portion of its interest-earning assets.

     Federal  regulations have  historically  required First Federal to maintain
minimum levels of liquid assets. The required percentage has varied from time to
time based upon economic  conditions  and savings  flows.  At June 30, 1997, the
requirement was 5.0% subject to reduction for aggregate net withdrawals provided
such ratio is not reduced  below 4.0%.  Liquid assets for purposes of this ratio
include  cash,  cash  equivalents  consisting  of  short-term  interest  earning
deposits,  certain other time deposits,  and other obligations  generally having
remaining  maturities of less than five years.  First  Federal has  historically
maintained its liquidity  ratio at a level in excess of that  required.  At June
30, 1997,  First Federal's  liquidity ratio was 8.8% and has averaged 15.8% over
the past three years.

<PAGE>

     Liquidity  management  is  both a daily  and  long-term  responsibility  of
management.   First  Federal  adjusts  liquid  assets  based  upon  management's
assessment  of (i)  expected  loan  demand,  (ii)  projected  loan sales,  (iii)
expected deposit flows, (iv) yields available on interest-bearing  deposits, and
(v) the objectives of its asset/liability  management program.  Excess liquidity
is invested  generally in federal funds and mutual funds investing in government
obligations and adjustable-rate or short-term  mortgage-related  securities.  If
First Federal requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally,  it
has additional  borrowing  capacity with the FHLB of Indianapolis and collateral
eligible for repurchase agreements.

     Cash  flows for the  Company  are of three  major  types.  Cash  flows from
operating  activities  consist  primarily  of  net  income  generated  by  cash.
Investing  activities  generate  cash flows  through the  origination,  sale and
principal   collections  on  loans  as  well  as  the  purchases  and  sales  of
investments.  Cash flows from financing  activities  include  savings  deposits,
withdrawals  and  maturities  and changes in  borrowings.  The  following  table
summarizes  cash flows for each of the three years in the period  ended June 30,
1997:

</TABLE>
     Investing  cash flows for the three years ended June 30, 1997 have resulted
primarily  from  investment and loan  activities.  The Company's cash flows from
investments resulted primarily from the purchases and maturities of term federal
funds and securities.  Loan sales during the periods are predominantly  from the
origination  of  commercial  real estate  loans where the  principal  balance in
excess of the Company's  retained  amount is sold to a  participating  financial
institution.  These  investors are obtained prior to the origination of the loan
and the sale of  participating  interests does not result in any gain or loss to
the Company.

     The Company considers its liquidity and capital resources to be adequate to
meet its foreseeable short and long-term needs.  First Federal  anticipates that
it will have sufficient  funds available to meet current loan commitments and to
fund or  refinance,  on a timely  basis,  its  other  material  commitments  and
long-term  liabilities.   At  June  30,  1997,  First  Federal  had  outstanding
commitments  to  originate  loans  of  $4.7  million.  Certificates  of  deposit
scheduled  to  mature  in one  year or less at June  30,  1997,  totalled  $37.1
million.  Based upon historical  deposit flow data, First Federal's  competitive
pricing in its market and management's  experience,  management  believes that a
significant portion of such deposits will remain with First Federal. At June 30,
1997,  the Company had $3.2 million of FHLB advances which mature in one year or
less.

     First  Federal  has entered  into  agreements  with  certain  officers  and
directors  which provide that,  upon their death,  their  beneficiaries  will be
entitled to receive certain benefits.  These benefits are to be funded primarily
by the proceeds of insurance policies owned by First Federal on the lives of the
officers and directors.  If the insurance companies issuing the policies are not
able to perform  under the  contracts  at the dates of death of the  officers or
directors,  there would be an adverse effect on the Company's operating results,
financial   condition  and  liquidity.   Under   currently   effective   capital
regulations,  savings  associations  currently  meet  a  1.5%  tangible  capital
requirement,  a 3.0% leverage  ratio (or core capital)  requirement  and a total
risk-based  capital to  risk-weighted  assets  ratio of 8.0%.  At June 30, 1997,
First Federal's  tangible  capital ratio was 20.6%, its leverage ratio was 20.6%
and its risk-based capital to risk-weighted  assets ratio was 32.3%.  Therefore,
First Federal's capital  significantly  exceeds all of the capital  requirements
currently in effect.

Impact of Inflation

     The audited  consolidated  financial  statements presented herein have been
prepared in accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  These
principles  require the measurement of financial  position and operating results
in terms of  historical  dollars,  without  considering  changes in the relative
purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

     The primary assets and  liabilities of savings  institutions  such as First
Federal  are  monetary  in  nature.  As a  result,  interest  rates  have a more
significant  impact on First Federal's  performance  than the effects of general
levels of inflation.  Interest rates,  however,  do not necessarily  move in the
same  direction or with the same  magnitude as the price of goods and  services,
since such  prices are  affected  by  inflation.  In a period of rapidly  rising
interest rates, the liquidity and maturity  structures of First Federal's assets
and  liabilities  are  critical to the  maintenance  of  acceptable  performance
levels.

     The  principal  effect of  inflation,  as distinct  from levels of interest
rates,  on  earnings  is in the area of other  expense.  Such  expense  items as
employee compensation,  employee benefits, and occupancy and equipment costs may
be  subject to  increases  as a result of  inflation.  An  additional  effect of
inflation  is the  possible  increase  in the  dollar  value  of the  collateral
securing loans made by First Federal .

New Accounting Pronouncements

     Accounting   for   Transfer  and   Servicing   of   Financial   Assets  and
Extinguishments of Liabilities.  SFAS No. 125 provides consistent  standards for
distinguishing  transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that
are considered secured borrowings.

     A transfer of financial assets in which the transferor  surrenders  control
over those  assets is accounted  for as a sale to the extent that  consideration
other  than  beneficial  interests  in the  transferred  assets is  received  in
exchange. The transferor has surrendered control over transferred assets only if
all of the following conditions are met:

     o   The  transferred  assets have been  isolated  from the  transferor--put
         presumptively  beyond the reach of the  transferor  and its  creditors,
         even in bankruptcy or other receivership.

     o   Each transferee obtains the right--free of conditions that constrain it
         from  taking  advantage  of  that  right--to  pledge  or  exchange  the
         transferred  assets, or the transferee is a qualifying  special-purpose
         entity and the holders of beneficial  interests in that entity have the
         right--free of conditions that constrain them from taking  advantage of
         that right--to pledge or exchange those interests.

     o   The transferor does not maintain effective control over the transferred
         assets  through an  agreement  that both  entitles  and  obligates  the
         transferor to repurchase  or redeem them before their  maturity,  or an
         agreement   that  entitles  the  transferor  to  repurchase  or  redeem
         transferred assets that are not readily obtainable.

     SFAS No.  125  provides  detailed  measurement  standards  for  assets  and
liabilities  included in these  transactions.  It also  includes  implementation
guidance for assessing  isolation of  transferred  assets and for accounting for
transfers of partial interests, servicing of financial assets,  securitizations,
transfers of  sales-type  and direct  financing  lease  receivables,  securities
lending transactions, repurchase agreements, "wash sales," loan syndications and
participations,   risk   participations  in  banker's   acceptances,   factoring
arrangements,  transfers of receivables with recourse,  and  extinguishments  of
liabilities.

     The Statement  supersedes SFAS No. 76,  Extinguishment of Debt, and No. 77,
Reporting by  Transferors  for Transfers of Receivables  with Recourse,  and No.
122,  Accounting  for  Mortgage  Servicing  Rights  and  amends  SFAS  No.  115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, in addition to
clarifying or amending a number of other statements and technical bulletins.  As
issued,  Statement  No. 125 was  effective  for all  transfers  and servicing of
financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31,
1996.

     The Financial  Accounting  Standards Board ("FASB") was made aware that the
volume of certain  transactions  and the related changes to information  systems
and accounting  processes that are necessary to comply with the  requirements of
SFAS No. 125 would make it  extremely  difficult,  if not  impossible,  for some
affected enterprises to apply the transfer and collateral provisions of SFAS No.
125 to those transactions as soon as January 1, 1997. As a result,  SFAS No. 127
defers for one year the effective  date (a) of paragraph 15 of Statement No. 125
and (b) for repurchase agreement,  dollar-roll,  securities lending, and similar
transactions, of paragraphs 9-12 and 237(b) of SFAS No. 125.


<PAGE>

     SFAS No. 127 provides  additional guidance on the types of transactions for
which the effective date of No. 125 has been deferred.  It also requires that if
it  is  not  possible  to  determine   whether  a  transfer   occurring   during
calendar-year 1997 is part of a repurchase  agreement,  dollar-roll,  securities
lending, or similar transaction,  then paragraphs 9-12 of SFAS No. 125 should be
applied to that transfer. All provisions of Statement No. 125 should continue to
be  applied  prospectively,  and  earlier  or  retroactive  application  is  not
permitted.

     Earnings per Share. SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, establishes standards
for  computing and  presenting  earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities
with publicly held common stock or potential  common stock, as well as any other
entity that chooses to present EPS in its financial statements.

     This  Statement  simplifies  the current  standards  of APB Opinion No. 15,
Earnings per Share, and makes them comparable to international EPS standards. It
eliminates the  presentation  of primary EPS and requires  presentation of basic
EPS (the  principal  difference  being that  common  stock  equivalents  are not
considered in the computation of basic EPS). It also requires dual  presentation
of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income  statement  for all  entities
with complex capital  structures and requires a reconciliation  of the numerator
and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of
the diluted EPS computation.

     Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available
to  common  stockholders  by  the  weighted-average   number  of  common  shares
outstanding  for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the  potential  dilution that
could occur if the  potential  common  shares were  exercised or converted  into
common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the
earnings of the  entity.  Diluted  EPS is  computed  similarly  to that of fully
diluted EPS pursuant to Opinion No. 15.

     The  Statement is effective  for  financial  statements  issued for periods
ending after December 15, 1997,  including interim periods.  Earlier application
is not permitted.  The Statement  requires  restatement of all  prior-period EPS
data presented.

     Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure. SFAS No. 129, Disclosure
of Information about Capital  Structure,  continues the current  requirements to
disclose certain  information  about an entity's capital  structure found in APB
Opinion  No.  10,  Omnibus  Opinion--1966,  Opinion  No.  15,  and SFAS No.  47,
Disclosure  of  Long-Term  Obligations.   It  consolidates  specific  disclosure
requirements  from those  standards.  SFAS No. 129 is  effective  for  financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997,  including interim
periods.

     Reporting  Comprehensive  Income.  SFAS No. 130  establishes  standards for
reporting  and display of  comprehensive  income and its  components  (revenues,
expenses,  gains,  and  losses)  in a  full  set  of  general-purpose  financial
statements.  It requires that all items that are required to be recognized under
accounting  standards as  components  of  comprehensive  income be reported in a
financial  statement  that is  displayed  with  the  same  prominence  as  other
financial statements. This Statement does not require a specific format for that
financial   statement  but  requires  that  an  enterprise   display  an  amount
representing  total  comprehensive  income  for the  period  in  that  financial
statement.

     SFAS No. 130 also requires that an enterprise  (a) classify  items of other
comprehensive  income by their nature in a financial  statement  and (b) display
the accumulated balance of other  comprehensive  income separately from retained
earnings and additional  paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of
financial position.

     The Statement is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15,
1997.  Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods provided for
comparative purposes is required.

     Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related  Information.  SFAS
No. 131  establishes  standards for the way public business  enterprises  report
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires
that those enterprises  report selected  information about operating segments in
interim financial reports issued to shareholders.  It also establishes standards
for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major
customers.  This  Statement  supersedes  SFAS No. 14,  Financial  Reporting  for
Segments  of a  Business  Enterprise,  but  retains  the  requirement  to report
information about major customers.  It amends SFAS No. 94,  Consolidation of All
Majority-Owned  Subsidiaries,  to remove the special disclosure requirements for
previously  unconsolidated  subsidiaries.  This  Statement  does  not  apply  to
nonpublic business enterprises or to not-for-profit organizations.

     SFAS No. 131 requires that a public business  enterprise  report  financial
and descriptive  information about its reportable operating segments.  Operating
segments  are  components  of  an  enterprise  about  which  separate  financial
information  is  available  that is evaluated  regularly by the chief  operating
decision  maker  in  deciding  how  to  allocate   resources  and  in  assessing
performance.  Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the
basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding
how to allocate resources to segments.

     This Statement requires that a public business  enterprise report a measure
of segment  profit or loss,  certain  specific  revenue and expense  items,  and
segment assets. It requires  reconciliations  of total segment  revenues,  total
segment profit or loss,  total segment assets,  and other amounts  disclosed for
segments to corresponding amounts in the enterprise's  general-purpose financial
statements.  This  Statement  also  requires that a public  business  enterprise
report  descriptive  information about the way that the operating  segments were
determined,  the  products  and  services  provided by the  operating  segments,
differences  between the measurements used in reporting segment  information and
those used in the enterprise's general-purpose financial statements, and changes
in the measurement of segment amounts from period to period.

     SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial  statements  for periods  beginning
after  December  15,  1997.  In the  initial  year of  application,  comparative
information  for earlier  years is to be restated.  This  Statement  need not be
applied to interim financial  statements in the initial year of its application,
but  comparative  information  for  interim  periods  in  the  initial  year  of
application is to be reported in financial statements for interim periods in the
second year of application.

                          Independent Auditor's Report



Board of Directors
Marion Capital Holdings, Inc.
Marion, Indiana


We have audited the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  condition of Marion
Capital Holdings, Inc. and subsidiary corporations as of June 30, 1997 and 1996,
and the related  consolidated  statements  of income,  changes in  shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three  years in the period  ended June 30,
1997. These  consolidated  financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the
Company's  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 described above present
fairly, in all material respects,  the consolidated financial position of Marion
Capital Holdings, Inc. and subsidiary corporations as of June 30, 1997 and 1996,
and the results of their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended June 30, 1997, in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles.

                       (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)


o    Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The  accounting  and  reporting  policies  of  Marion  Capital  Holdings,   Inc.
("Company")  and its wholly  owned  subsidiary,  First  Federal  Savings Bank of
Marion  ("Bank") and the Bank's wholly owned  subsidiary,  First Marion  Service
Corporation  ("FMSC"),  conform to generally accepted accounting  principles and
reporting practices followed by the thrift industry. The more significant of the
policies are described below.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The  Company  is a  thrift  holding  company  whose  principal  activity  is the
ownership and  management of the Bank.  The Bank operates under a federal thrift
charter and provides full banking services. As a federally-chartered thrift, the
Bank is  subject  to  regulation  by the  Office of Thrift  Supervision  and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The Bank generates  residential  and commercial  mortgage and consumer loans and
receives  deposits from  customers  located  primarily in central  Indiana.  The
Bank's loans are generally  secured by specific  items of  collateral  including
real property and consumer  assets.  FMSC is engaged in the selling of financial
services.

Consolidation--The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company,  the Bank and the Bank's  subsidiary after  elimination of all material
intercompany transactions and accounts.

Investment  Securities--Debt  securities are classified as held to maturity when
the  Company  has the  positive  intent and  ability to hold the  securities  to
maturity. Securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost.

Debt  securities  not classified as held to maturity are classified as available
for  sale.  Securities  available  for  sale  are  carried  at fair  value  with
unrealized  gains and losses reported  separately,  net of tax, in shareholders'
equity.

Amortization  of premiums  and  accretion of  discounts  are recorded  using the
interest  method as interest income from  securities.  Realized gains and losses
are  recorded  as net  security  gains  (losses).  Gains and  losses on sales of
securities are determined on the specific-identification method.

Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding.  A loan is impaired when,
based on current  information  or events,  it is probable  that the Bank will be
unable to collect all amounts due  (principal  and  interest)  according  to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Payments with insignificant delays not
exceeding 90 days outstanding are not considered  impaired.  Certain  nonaccrual
and  substantially  delinquent loans may be considered to be impaired.  The Bank
considers its investment in one-to-four  family  residential  loans and consumer
loans to be homogeneous and therefore excluded from separate  identification for
evaluation of impairment.  Interest income is accrued on the principal  balances
of  loans.  The  accrual  of  interest  on  impaired  and  nonaccrual  loans  is
discontinued when, in management's  opinion,  the borrower may be unable to meet
payments as they become due. When interest accrual is  discontinued,  all unpaid
accrued interest is reversed when considered  uncollectible.  Interest income is
subsequently  recognized only to the extent cash payments are received.  Certain
loan fees and direct costs are being  deferred and amortized as an adjustment of
yield on the loans over the contractual  lives of the loans. When a loan is paid
off or sold, any unamortized loan origination fee balance is credited to income.

Foreclosed  real  estate  arises  from  loan  foreclosure  or  deed  in  lieu of
foreclosure  and is carried  at the lower of cost or fair  value less  estimated
selling costs.  Real estate has not been acquired for development or sale. Costs
relating to development  and  improvement of property are  capitalized,  whereas
costs  relating to the holding of  property,  net of rental and other income are
expensed.  Realized  gains and losses are recorded upon the sale of real estate,
with gains  deferred  and  recognized  on the  installment  method for sales not
qualifying for the full accrual method.

Allowances  for loan and real estate losses are  maintained to absorb  potential
loan  and real  estate  losses  based  on  management's  continuing  review  and
evaluation  of the loan and real estate  portfolios  and its  judgment as to the
impact of economic  conditions on the  portfolios.  The evaluation by management
includes  consideration of past loss  experience,  changes in the composition of
the  portfolios,  the current  condition and amount of loans and foreclosed real
estate outstanding,  and the probability of collecting all amounts due. Impaired
loans are measured by the present  value of expected  future cash flows,  or the
fair value of the collateral of the loan, if collateral dependent.

The  determination  of the  adequacy  of the  allowance  for loan losses and the
valuation of real estate is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible
to  significant  changes in the  economic  environment  and  market  conditions.
Management  believes that as of June 30, 1997, the allowance for loan losses and
carrying  value of  foreclosed  real estate are  adequate  based on  information
currently  available.  A worsening or  protracted  economic  decline in the area
within which the Bank  operates  would  increase the  likelihood  of  additional
losses due to credit and market risks and could  create the need for  additional
loss reserves.

Premises  and  equipment  are carried at cost net of  accumulated  depreciation.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based principally on the
estimated  useful lives of the assets.  Maintenance  and repairs are expensed as
incurred  while major  additions and  improvements  are  capitalized.  Gains and
losses on dispositions are included in current operations.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock is a required  investment for institutions that are
members of the Federal Home Loan Bank system.  The  required  investment  in the
common stock is based on a predetermined formula.

Pension  plan costs are based on actuarial  computations  and charged to current
operations.  The funding policy is to pay at least the minimum amounts  required
by ERISA.

Income tax in the consolidated  statement of income includes deferred income tax
provisions or benefits for all significant  temporary differences in recognizing
income and expenses for financial  reporting  and income tax purposes.  Business
tax credits are  deducted  from  federal  income tax in the year the credits are
used to reduce income taxes payable.  The Company files consolidated  income tax
returns with its subsidiaries.

Primary  earnings  per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common and equivalent  shares  outstanding  during the period.
Fully diluted earnings per share are the same as primary earnings per share.

Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 128,  Earnings Per Share,  is
effective for the Company for periods ending after December 15, 1997,  including
interim periods.  This Statement eliminates the presentation of primary earnings
per share (EPS) currently presented and requires  presentation of basic EPS (the
principal  difference being that common stock  equivalents are not considered in
the  computation of basic EPS). It also requires dual  presentation of basic and
diluted  EPS on the face of the  income  statement.  Diluted  EPS  reflects  the
potential  dilution  that could  occur from  common  stock  equivalents,  and is
computed similarly to that of fully diluted EPS currently presented.

Reclassification of certain amounts in the 1996 and 1995 consolidated  financial
statements have been made to conform to the 1997 presentation.

o    Restriction on Cash

The Bank is required to maintain  reserve  funds in cash and/or on deposit  with
the Federal Reserve Bank. The reserve required at June 30, 1997, was $219,000.

No valuation allowance was considered necessary at June 30, 1997 and 1996.

At June  30,  1997,  the  Company  had an  unused  business  income  tax  credit
carryforward of $553,000. Credits of $423,000 expire in 2012 and $130,000 expire
in 2011.

Retained earnings include approximately  $8,300,000 for which no deferred income
tax  liability  has been  recognized.  This amount  represents  an allocation of
income  to bad debt  deductions  as of June  30,  1988  for tax  purposes  only.
Reduction  of amounts so allocated  for purposes  other than tax bad debt losses
including  redemption  of bank  stock or  excess  dividends,  or loss of  "bank"
status, would create income for tax purposes only, which income would be subject
to the then-current  corporate income tax rate. At June 30, 1997, the unrecorded
deferred income tax liability on the above amount was approximately $3,300,000.

o    Restriction on Dividends

The  Company is not  subject to any  regulatory  restrictions  on the payment of
dividends  to  its  shareholders.  The  Office  of  Thrift  Supervision  ("OTS")
regulations  provide  that a savings  association  which meets  fully  phased-in
capital  requirements (those in effect on December 31, 1994) and is subject only
to "normal supervision" may pay out, as a dividend, 100 percent of net income to
date over the calendar  year and 50 percent of surplus  capital  existing at the
beginning of the calendar year without  supervisory  approval,  but with 30 days
prior notice to the OTS. Any additional  amount of capital  distributions  would
require prior regulatory approval.

At the time of the Bank's  conversion  to a stock  savings  bank, a  liquidation
account was  established in an amount equal to the Bank's net worth as reflected
in the latest  statement  of  condition  used in its final  conversion  offering
circular.  The  liquidation  account is  maintained  for the benefit of eligible
deposit  account  holders who maintain  their deposit  account in the Bank after
conversion.  In the event of a complete  liquidation  (and only in such  event),
each eligible  deposit  account holder will be entitled to receive a liquidation
distribution  from the  liquidation  account in the  amount of the then  current
adjusted   subaccount  balance  for  deposit  accounts  then  held,  before  any
liquidation distribution may be made to stockholders.  Except for the repurchase
of stock and payment of dividends, the existence of the liquidation account will
not restrict the use or  application  of net worth.  The initial  balance of the
liquidation account was $24,100,000.

At June 30, 1997, total  shareholder's  equity of the Bank was  $34,964,000,  of
which a minimum of $10,864,000 was available for the payment of dividends.


o    Stock Transactions

The Company's Board of Directors has approved  periodically the repurchase of up
to 5 percent of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock. Such purchases
were made  subject to market  conditions  in open market or block  transactions.
During the years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company had repurchased
188,887, 100,658 and 214,249 of its outstanding shares.


o    Regulatory Capital

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital  requirements  administered by
the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital  requirements can
initiate  actions by the regulatory  agencies that, if undertaken,  could have a
material  effect on the Bank's  financial  statements.  Under  capital  adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory  framework for prompt corrective  action, the Bank
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative  measures of the
Bank's assets,  liabilities,  and certain  off-balance-sheet items as calculated
under  regulatory   accounting   practices.   The  Bank's  capital  amounts  and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors.

At June  30,  1997,  the  Bank  believes  that it  meets  all  capital  adequacy
requirements  to which it is subject and the most recent  notification  from the
regulatory agency  categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action.

The Bank's actual and required capital amounts and ratios are as follows:

The Bank's tangible capital at June 30, 1997 was $34,925,  which amount was 20.6
percent of tangible assets and exceeded the required ratio of 1.5 percent.

o    Benefit Plans

The Bank provides pension benefits for substantially all of the Bank's employees
and is a  participant  in a pension fund known as the Pentegra  Group  (formerly
known  as  the  Financial   Institutions   Retirement  Fund).  This  plan  is  a
multi-employer  plan; separate actuarial valuations are not made with respect to
each  participating  employer.  A  supplemental  plan  provides  for  additional
benefits for certain  employees.  Pension  expense was $174,611,  $211,123,  and
$108,417 for 1997, 1996 and 1995.

The  Bank  contributes  up  to  3  percent  of  employees'  salaries  for  those
participating in a thrift plan. The Bank's  contribution  was $25,400,  $23,300,
and $20,600 for 1997, 1996 and 1995.

The Bank has purchased life insurance on certain  officers and directors,  which
insurance had an approximate cash value of $5,994,000 and $5,588,000 at June 30,
1997 and 1996. The Bank has also approved  arrangements that provide  retirement
and death  benefits  to those  officers  and  directors  covered  by the  keyman
policies.  The  benefits  to be paid  will be  funded  primarily  by the  keyman
policies and are being accrued over the period of active  service to eligibility
dates.  The accrual of benefits  totaled  $625,000,  $277,000,  and $447,000 for
1997, 1996 and 1995.

The Bank's Board of Directors has  established  Recognition  and Retention Plans
and Trusts ("RRP"). The Bank contributed $1,349,340 to the RRPs for the purchase
of 96,600 shares of Company common stock, and in March,  1993,  awards of grants
for these shares were issued to various directors, officers and employees of the
Bank.  These awards  generally  are to vest and be earned by the  recipient at a
rate of 20 percent per year,  commencing  March,  1994. The unearned  portion of
these stock awards is presented as a reduction of shareholders' equity.

o    Stock Option Plan

Under the Company's stock option plan, which is accounted for in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related  interpretations,  the Company grants stock option awards
to directors,  selected executives and other key employees.  Stock option awards
vest  and  become  fully  exercisable  at  the  end  of 6  months  of  continued
employment.  The incentive stock option exercise price will not be less than the
fair market value of the common stock (or 85 percent of the fair market value of
common stock for non-qualified  options) on the date of the grant of the option.
The date on which the options are first  exercisable  is determined by the Board
of Directors,  and the terms of the stock options will not exceed ten years from
the date of grant.  The  exercise  price of each  option was equal to the market
price of the Company's  stock on the date of grant;  therefore,  no compensation
expense was recognized.

SFAS No. 123,  Stock-Based  Compensation,  is effective  for the Company for the
year ended June 30, 1997.  This Statement  establishes a fair value based method
of  accounting  for  stock-based  compensation  plans.  Although the Company has
elected to follow APB No. 25, SFAS No. 123 requires pro forma disclosures of net
income and earnings per share as if the Company had  accounted  for its employee
stock  options  under that  Statement.  The fair value of each option  grant was
estimated  on the grant date using an  option-pricing  model with the  following
assumptions:

                                                                  June 30,

                                                                 ----------

Under  SFAS No.  123,  compensation  cost is  recognized  in the  amount  of the
estimated  fair value of the options and  amortized to expense over the options'
vesting  period.  The pro forma  effect on net income and  earnings per share of
this Statement are as follows:

Net periodic postretirement cost

   Service cost--benefits attributed to service
     during the period                                $15       $13      $21

At June 30, 1997 and 1996,  there were no plan assets.  The assumed  health care
cost  trend  rate  used in  measuring  the  accumulated  postretirement  benefit
obligation was 12 percent in 1997,  gradually declining to 6 percent in the year
2012. The weighted  average  discount rate used in determining  the  accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 7.75 percent.

If the health care cost trend rate assumptions were increased by 1 percent,  the
accumulated  postretirement  benefit  obligation  as of June 30, 1997 would have
increased  by 15  percent.  The effect of this  change on the sum of the service
cost and interest would be an increase of 18 percent.

o    Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In  the  normal  course  of  business  there  are  outstanding  commitments  and
contingent  liabilities,  such as  commitments  to extend  credit and letters of
credit,  which  are not  included  in the  accompanying  consolidated  financial
statements. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit is
represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Bank
uses  the  same  credit  policies  in  making  such  commitments  as it does for
instruments  that  are  included  in the  consolidated  statement  of  financial
condition.

Financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk as of June 30
were as follows:

                                                         1997     1996
                                                        ------   ------
   Mortgage loan commitments at variable rates          $4,734   $3,211
   Consumer and commercial loan commitments              2,564    1,365
   Standby letters of credit                             3,239    3,239

Commitments  to extend  credit are  agreements  to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments
generally  have fixed  expiration  dates or other  termination  clauses  and may
require  payment of a fee. Since many of the  commitments are expected to expire
without  being  drawn  upon,  the total  commitment  amounts do not  necessarily
represent future cash  requirements.  The Bank evaluates each customer's  credit
worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed
necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's  credit
evaluation.  Collateral held varies,  but may include  residential  real estate,
income-producing commercial properties, or other assets of the borrower. Standby
letters of credit are  conditional  commitments  issued by the Bank to guarantee
the performance of the customer to a third party.

A significant  portion of the Bank's loan portfolio  consists of commercial real
estate loans,  including loans secured by nursing homes.  These  commercial real
estate loans,  totaling  $31,122,000  and $36,170,000 at June 30, 1997 and 1996,
have a  significantly  higher  degree of credit risk than  residential  mortgage
loans.  Loan  payments  on the  nursing  home loans are often  dependent  on the
operation of the  collateral,  and risks  inherent in the nursing home  industry
include  licensure and certification  laws and changes  affecting  payments from
third party payors.

The Company and subsidiaries are also subject to claims and lawsuits which arise
primarily in the ordinary  course of business.  Based on  information  presently
available,  it is the opinion of  management  that the  disposition  or ultimate
determination  of such  possible  claims or  lawsuits  will not have a  material
adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.

o    Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The following  methods and  assumptions  were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instrument:

Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents--The  fair  value  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents
approximates carrying value.

Investment Securities--Fair values are based on quoted market prices.

Loans--The  fair  value  for  loans is  estimated  using  discounted  cash  flow
analyses,  using interest rates  currently  being offered for loans with similar
terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Interest    Receivable/Payable--The    fair    values   of   accrued    interest
receivable/payable approximates carrying values.

FHLB  Stock--Fair  value of FHLB  stock is based on the price at which it may be
resold to the FHLB.

Deposits--Fair  values  for  certificates  of  deposit  are  estimated  using  a
discounted  cash flow  calculation  that applies  interest rates currently being
offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated  expected monthly maturities
on such time deposits.

Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  Advances--The  fair  value  of these  borrowings  are
estimated using a discounted cash flow  calculation,  based on current rates for
similar debt.

Advances  by  Borrowers  for Taxes and  Insurance--The  fair value  approximates
carrying value.

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:
