Item 1.  Business

General

         Permanent Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"),  a Delaware  corporation,  was
organized in December  1993 as a savings and loan holding  company for Permanent
Federal Savings Bank ("Permanent  Federal" or the "Bank") in connection with the
Bank's  conversion  from mutual to stock form which was  completed  on March 31,
1994  (the  "Conversion").  Permanent  Federal,  the  predecessor  of which  was
originally   organized  in  1885,   is  a  federally   chartered   savings  bank
headquartered in Evansville,  Indiana. The Bank's deposits are insured up to the
maximum  allowable  amount by the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  (the
"FDIC").  Through its main office and network of ten branch offices, the Company
serves  Vanderburgh,  Gibson,  Warrick,  Posey and Dubois Counties,  Indiana. At
March 31,  1997,  the Company had total  assets of $423.7  million,  deposits of
$280.8 million,  and total stockholders'  equity of $39.1 million (9.2% of total
assets).

         Permanent   Federal  has  been,  and  intends  to  continue  to  be,  a
community-oriented   financial  institution  offering  a  variety  of  financial
services  to meet the needs of the  communities  it  serves.  The Bank  attracts
deposits  from  the  general  public  and uses  these  deposits,  together  with
borrowings  and  other  funds,   primarily  to  originate  one-  to  four-family
residential  mortgage  loans  as well  as  loans  secured  by  multi-family  and
commercial real estate, automobile and other consumer loans. To a lesser extent,
the Bank  also  originates  a  limited  number of  construction  and  commercial
business loans. The Bank also invests in  mortgage-backed  and other securities.
See "Lending Activities" and "Investment Activities."

         Through its service  corporation,  Perma Service  Corp.,  the Bank also
offers various types of insurance products and provides brokerage services.  See
"Service Corporation Activities."

         The executive  office of the Company is located at 101 Southeast  Third
Street, Evansville, Indiana 47708. Its telephone number at that address is (812)
428-6800.

Lending Activities

         General.   Historically,   the  Bank  originated   fixed-rate,   one-to
four-family mortgage loans. In the early 1980s,  however, the Bank began to also
originate, subject to market conditions,  adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") loans
for  retention in its  portfolio.  At March 31,  1997,  69.6% of the Bank's loan
portfolio   was   fixed-rate   and  30.4%  was   adjustable-rate.   The   Bank's
adjustable-rate  loan  portfolio as a percentage of the total loan portfolio has
decreased  from 42.9% at March 31,  1992 to 30.4% at March 31,  1997 as consumer
demand for fixed-rate loans  increased.  See also  "Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of  Operations  --  Asset/Liability
Management" in the Company's  Annual Report to Stockholders  for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1997, attached hereto as Exhibit 13 (the "Annual Report").
<PAGE>
         The Bank focuses its lending  activities  on the  origination  of loans
secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied,  one-to four-family  residences as
well as  multi-family  and  commercial  real estate loans,  automobile and other
consumer loans. To a lesser extent, the Bank also originates a limited number of
construction and commercial  business loans. At March 31, 1997, the Bank's total
loan portfolio,  including  commercial paper,  totaled $212.6 million,  of which
$152.7 million,  or 71.8%, were one- to four-family  mortgage loans. At the same
date,  consumer loans (including  indirect and direct  automobile loans) totaled
$44.9 million,  or 21.1%,  multi-family and commercial real estate loans totaled
$12.1 million,  or 5.7%,  construction loans totaled $1.9 million,  or 1.0%, and
there  was $1.0  million  of  commercial  paper,  representing  0.5% of the loan
portfolio.  Total loans and loans held for sale,  net, as a percentage  of total
assets equaled 49.6% at March 31, 1997.

         The Bank also invests in mortgage-backed securities. At March 31, 1997,
mortgage-backed  securities,  net,  totaled  $101.2  million,  or 23.9% of total
assets. See "Investment Activities -- Mortgage-Backed Securities."

         Loan  applications  are initially  underwritten and approved at various
levels  of  authority,  depending  on  the  type  and  amount  of the  loan,  as
established by the Board of Directors.  Residential loans in excess of $250,000,
commercial real estate loans in excess of $200,000 and commercial business loans
in excess of $100,000  require the  approval  of the Board of  Directors  or the
Senior Loan Committee  consisting of three Bank officers and three  non-employee
directors.

         Prior to the enactment of the Financial Institutions Reform,  Recovery,
and Enforcement Act of 1989  ("FIRREA"),  the aggregate amount of loans that the
Bank was  permitted  to make under  applicable  federal  regulations  to any one
borrower,  including  related  entities,  or the aggregate  amount that the Bank
could  have  invested  in  any  one  real  estate  project,  was,  with  certain
exceptions,  limited to the lesser of 10% of the Bank's  deposits or 100% of its
regulatory capital.  Effective August 9, 1989, the Bank's  loans-to-one-borrower
limit was reduced in accordance with FIRREA,  generally to the greater of 15% of
unimpaired capital and surplus or $500,000. See "Regulation - Federal Regulation
of Savings  Associations."  At March 31, 1997, the maximum amount which the Bank
could have lent to any one  borrower  and the  borrower's  related  entities was
approximately  $5.5  million.  At March  31,  1997,  the Bank had no loans  with
aggregate outstanding balances in excess of this amount.

         Management  reserves the right to change its emphasis on the amount, or
type of lending in which it engages to adjust to market or other factors.

         At March 31,  1997,  the total amount of loans due after March 31, 1998
which had fixed  interest  rates was $155.0  million,  while the total amount of
loans due after such date which had floating or  adjustable  interest  rates was
$64.4 million.

         One- to Four-Family  Residential  Mortgage Lending.  The Bank's primary
lending activity consists of the origination of one- to four-family  residential
mortgage  loans  secured  primarily  by property  located in the Bank's  primary
market area.  At March 31, 1997,  the Bank had $152.7  million,  or 71.8% of its
loan portfolio invested in these loans.

         The Bank  presently  offers  fixed-rate  conventional  mortgage  loans,
Federal Housing Administration  ("FHA"),  Veterans  Administration ("VA") loans,
and ARM loans. During fiscal 1995, the Bank introduced a 10-year adjustable-rate
loan which features an initial  10-year  fixed-rate  that converts to a one-year
adjustable-rate  loan upon  expiration  of the initial  fixed-rate  period.  The
Bank's  origination  of  fixed-rate  mortgage  loans as compared to ARM loans is
determined on an on-going basis and is based on changes in market interest rates
and consumer  preference.  Many  borrowers  have selected  shorter-term  15-year
fixed-rate  mortgages  recently,  as a higher interest rate  environment  during
fiscal  1995,  1996 and 1997  resulted  in a  decrease  in  traditional  30-year
fixed-rate  loans.  The higher market rates  resulted in increased  activity for
adjustable-rate,  and decreased  activity for  fixed-rate,  one- to  four-family
residential loans.  Interest rates charged on fixed-rate loans are competitively
priced  according to local market  conditions.  The Bank's  current policy is to
sell all newly originated  fixed-rate loans with terms of more than 20 years, as
well as ARM loans converted to a fixed rate with a remaining term to maturity in
excess of 20 years,  and all FHA and VA loans.  The Bank's  prior  policy was to
sell the noted  fixed-rate  loans  with  terms in  excess  of 15  years.  See "-
Originations,  Purchases,  Sales  and  Servicing  of Loans  and  Mortgage-Backed
Securities."

         The  Bank  currently   makes   adjustable-rate,   one-  to  four-family
residential  mortgage  loans in amounts of up to 97% of the  appraised  value or
selling  price of the  security  property,  whichever  is less.  For loans  with
loan-to-value  ratios of greater than 80%, the Bank typically  requires  private
mortgage  insurance to reduce the Bank's  exposure to 75% of the appraised value
or selling price of the security property.  Adjustable-rate loans generally have
interest rate adjustment  limitations consisting of 2% annual adjustments and 6%
lifetime  adjustments,  and are generally indexed to the weekly average yield of
U. S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year.

         The retention of ARM loans in the Bank's loan portfolio  helps the Bank
to manage its exposure to changes in the  interest  rates.  There are,  however,
unquantifiable  credit risks relating to such loans resulting from the potential
of  increased  costs  due to  changed  rates to be paid by the  customer.  It is
possible that during periods of rising  interest  rates,  the risk of default on
ARM loans may increase as a result of repricing and the  increased  costs to the
borrower.  Furthermore,  the ARM loans originated by the Bank generally provide,
as a marketing  incentive,  for initial rates of interest  below the rates which
would   apply   were  the   adjustment   index   used  for   pricing   initially
("discounting").  These  loans are  subject  to  increased  risk of  default  or
delinquency due to this discounting.  In addition,  although ARM loans allow the
Bank to increase the sensitivity of its asset base to changes in interest rates,
the extent of this  interest  rate  sensitivity  is limited by the  periodic and
lifetime  interest rate  adjustment  limits,  and by the ability of borrowers to
refinance their loans if they perceive that the interest rate they are paying is
too high.  Accordingly,  there can be no assurance that yields on ARM loans will
be sufficient to offset increases in the Bank's cost of funds.
<PAGE>
         In underwriting  residential real estate loans, the Bank evaluates both
the borrower's  ability to make monthly  payments,  employment  history,  credit
history and the value of the property securing the loan. Potential borrowers are
qualified  for  fixed-rate  loans  based upon the  initial or stated rate of the
loan.  Borrowers on adjustable-rate  loans are currently qualified at an 8% rate
or the fully-indexed rate after one year, whichever is higher.

         An appraisal of the security property from  Board-approved  independent
fee appraisers is obtained prior to mortgage loan approvals.  In connection with
origination of residential real estate loans,  the Bank currently  requires that
the  borrower  obtain  title  insurance,  and fire,  flood (if  applicable)  and
casualty insurance to protect the Bank's interest.

         The Bank's residential  mortgage loans customarily  include due-on-sale
clauses  giving  the Bank the  right to  declare  the loan  immediately  due and
payable in the event,  among  other  things,  the  borrower  sells or  otherwise
disposes of the property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid. The
Bank on occasion has enforced due-on-sale clauses in its mortgage contracts.

         From  1991 to 1993,  Permanent  Federal  increased  its  investment  in
mortgage-backed  securities,  while in fiscal 1994 and 1995,  the amount of such
securities  remained  relatively constant and again increased during fiscal 1996
and 1997.  Although such securities are generally held for investment,  they can
serve as collateral for borrowings.  For information  regarding the carrying and
market values of Permanent Federal's  mortgage-backed  securities portfolio, see
Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements in the Annual Report.
See also "Investment Activities - Mortgage-Backed Securities."

         Consumer  Lending.  The Bank  considers  consumer  lending an  integral
component of its lending operations. Consumer loans generally have shorter terms
to maturity (thus reducing  Permanent  Federal's exposure to changes in interest
rates) and  historically  have carried  higher rates of interest than do one- to
four-family residential mortgage loans, although that is not currently the case.
In addition,  management  believes  that the offering of consumer  loan products
helps to expand  and  create  stronger  ties to its  existing  customer  base by
increasing the number of customer  relationships  and providing  cross-marketing
opportunities.  At March 31, 1997, the Bank's  consumer loan  portfolio  totaled
$44.9 million, or 21.1% of its loan portfolio. The chief component of such loans
consists of indirect and direct automobile paper,  accounting for $31.4 million,
or 69.9%,  of the consumer loan  portfolio at March 31, 1997.  Under  applicable
federal  law,  the Bank is  authorized  to  invest  up to 35% of its  assets  in
consumer loans.

         Permanent Federal offers a variety of secured consumer loans, including
automobile,  boat,  home  equity,  home  improvement,  mobile home loans,  loans
secured by savings deposits and other consumer collateral.  The Bank also offers
a limited  amount of unsecured  loans.  The Bank generally  originates  consumer
loans in its market area.  Although it has not done so in recent years, the Bank
may also purchase  consumer loans,  generally  within its market area.  Consumer
loan terms vary according to the type of collateral and length of contract.  The
Bank's consumer loans generally have fixed rates of interest.
<PAGE>
         The  Bank  is  actively   engaged  in  indirect  dealer   financing  of
automobiles.  Such  indirect  dealer  loans are  originated  through  automobile
dealers  located in, or in counties  contiguous  to, the Bank's  market area and
underwritten  by the Bank's lending staff in accordance  with the Bank's general
standards for underwriting  consumer loans.  These loans are originated at fixed
interest  rates and are  typically  for terms of up to five years.  At March 31,
1997,  indirect  dealer loans totaled  $22.4  million,  or 50.0%,  of the Bank's
consumer loan portfolio.

         At March 31, 1997,  $9.2 million of the Bank's consumer loans consisted
of home equity  loans.  The home equity loans are  typically  collateralized  by
second mortgages on owner-occupied, single-family mortgage loans.

         From 1987 to 1990,  the Bank also  purchased  loans  secured  by mobile
homes.  Such  loans  were  originated  through  a  subsidiary  of  the  Bank  in
association with two other savings institutions. The subsidiary created pools of
mobile  home  loans  it  originated,   and  Permanent   Federal  and  the  other
participating  lenders  each  purchased a one-third  interest in the pools.  The
Bank's mobile home loan portfolio as of March 31, 1997 was $1.2 million,  or .6%
of the Bank's loan  portfolio.  Mobile home loans are  typically  made at higher
yields and for a shorter maturity than one- to four-family  residential mortgage
loans.  The Bank's mobile home loans were  typically  made for terms of up to 15
years and all were one-year  ARMs. At March 31, 1997,  $50,116,  or 4.0%, of the
Bank's mobile home loan portfolio was non-performing.

         The  underwriting  standards  employed by the Bank for  consumer  loans
include a determination of the applicant's payment history on other debts and an
assessment  of the  ability to meet  existing  obligations  and  payments on the
proposed loan. In addition, the stability of the applicant's monthly income from
primary  employment  is considered  during the  underwriting  process.  Although
creditworthiness of the applicant is a primary  consideration,  the underwriting
process also  includes a  comparison  of the value of the  security,  if any, in
relation to the proposed loan amount.

         Consumer  loans may  entail  greater  credit  risk than do  residential
mortgage loans,  particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured,
such as checking  account  overdraft  privilege loans, or are secured by rapidly
depreciable assets, such as automobiles, mobile homes and recreational vehicles.
In such cases, any repossessed  collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not
provide an adequate  source of  repayment of the  outstanding  loan balance as a
result of the greater likelihood of damage,  loss or depreciation.  In addition,
consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower's  continuing  financial
stability  and  thus  are  more  likely  to  be  affected  by  adverse  personal
circumstances.  Furthermore,  the application of various federal and state laws,
including  bankruptcy  and  insolvency  laws,  may limit the amount which can be
recovered on such loans.

         Multi-Family   and  Commercial  Real  Estate  Lending.   The  Bank  has
originated  multi-family  and commercial  real estate loans in its lending area,
and has  purchased  whole loan and  participation  interests in loans from other
financial  institutions  in Indiana,  and to a lesser  extent,  in Kentucky  and
Tennessee.  At March 31, 1997, the Bank had  multi-family  and  commercial  real
estate loans totaling $12.1 million, representing 5.7% of its loan portfolio.
<PAGE>
         The  majority of the Bank's  multi-family  and  commercial  real estate
loans are secured by  apartment  buildings,  as well as other types of property,
including nursing homes, office buildings,  motels and shopping centers. Some of
the areas in which the security  properties are located have experienced adverse
economic  conditions,  including a general  softening in the real estate markets
and local economies,  which resulted in increased  delinquencies and loan losses
during prior years, as described below. See "-- Cardinal  Industries,  Inc." and
"Asset Quality."

         The table  below sets  forth by type of  security  property  the Bank's

</TABLE>
         At March  31,  1997,  the Bank  had a total  of four  multi-family  and
commercial real estate loans with an outstanding principal balances in excess of
$1.0 million.  With the exception of certain loans  discussed under "-- Cardinal
Industries,  Inc." below,  each of these loans was performing in accordance with
its terms at March 31, 1997.

         Multi-family  and commercial  real estate loans  originated by the Bank
generally have terms ranging from ten to 20 years and up to 30 year amortization
schedules.  Rates on such loans generally  either (i) adjust  (subject,  in some
cases, to specified  interest rate caps) at one, three or five year intervals to
specified  spreads  over an  index,  (ii)  float  (subject,  in some  cases,  to
specified  interest  rate caps) with changes in a specified  prime rate or (iii)
carry fixed  rates.  Under the Bank's  current  loan  policy,  multi-family  and
commercial  real estate  loans (other than loans to  facilitate)  are written in
amounts of up to 80% of the appraised value of the properties.

         Appraisals on properties  securing  multi-family  and  commercial  real
estate  property  loans  originated by the Bank are performed by an  independent
appraiser  approved  by the  Bank  prior  to the  time  the  loan is  made.  All
appraisals on multi-family  and commercial real estate loans are reviewed by the
Bank's management.  In addition,  the Bank's underwriting  procedures  generally
require  verification  of the borrower's  credit  history,  income and financial
statements,  banking  relationships  and income  projections  for the  property.
<PAGE>
Historically,  personal  guarantees  were not generally  obtained for the Bank's
multi-family  and  commercial  real estate  loans.  While the Bank  continues to
monitor  multi-family  and commercial real estate loans on a regular basis after
origination,  updated  appraisals are not normally obtained after closing unless
the Bank believes that there are questions regarding the progress of the loan or
the value of the collateral.

         Multi-family  and  commercial  real estate  loans  generally  present a
higher  level  of  credit  risk  than  loans  secured  by  one-  to  four-family
residences.  This  greater  risk  is  due  to  several  factors,  including  the
concentration  of  principal  in a limited  number of loans and  borrowers,  the
effect of general  economic  conditions on  income-producing  properties and the
increased  difficulty  of  evaluating  and  monitoring  these  types  of  loans.
Furthermore,  the repayment of loans secured by multi-family and commercial real
estate is typically dependent upon the successful  operation of the related real
estate  project.  If the cash flow from the project is reduced (for example,  if
leases are not obtained or renewed, or a bankruptcy court modifies a lease term,
or a major tenant is unable to fulfill its lease  obligations),  the  borrower's
ability to repay the loan may be impaired.

         Cardinal Industries,  Inc. The Bank has a group of three loans totaling
approximately  $3.6  million in net book value to  separate  syndicated  limited
partnerships on three  apartment  complexes  located in Indiana.  The loans were
originated from 1983 through 1988. Two of the loans are  wholly-owned and one is
a 50%  participation  with  another  Indiana  savings  institution.  The general
partner of these  partnerships  is Cardinal  Industries,  Inc.  ("Cardinal")  of
Columbus,  Ohio. On May 15, 1989, Cardinal,  which is a general partner in these
properties and not the borrower,  filed for  bankruptcy  under Chapter 11 of the
U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code. As a result of Cardinal's  financial  difficulties,  the
terms of two of the  three  loans  were  restructured  as of July 1,  1991.  For
accounting  purposes,  the two modified  loans are  considered  "non-performing"
assets,  including one which is classified as a "troubled  debt  restructuring."
Cardinal has since emerged from bankruptcy protection as a publicly held company
and engages primarily in managing its apartment projects.

         Construction or Development Lending. The Bank makes a limited number of
construction loans to individuals for the construction of their residences.  The
Bank generally  requires that the customer have a general  contractor.  The Bank
also  makes  loans  to  builders  for  presold  and  speculative   single-family
construction  purposes  and a limited  number  of  multi-family  and  commercial
construction  loans. At March 31, 1997, the Bank's  construction  loan portfolio
totaled  $1.9  million  (including  a  $264,000  loan  on a  low-income  housing
project),  or 1.0% of its total loan  portfolio.  As of that date,  all of these
loans were secured by property located within the Bank's market area.

         Construction  terms to  individuals  are  generally  made under the ARM
program,  although at a rate higher  than that for a  permanent  ARM loan,  with
provisions  for  converting  to  a  fixed-rate   loan  upon  completion  of  the
construction.  Fixed-rate  loans for  construction  purposes  are  limited  to a
maximum term of 15 years.  During the  construction  phase,  the  borrower  pays
interest  only.  Residential   construction  loans  are  generally  underwritten
pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating permanent residential loans
except that the record of the builder is also considered.
<PAGE>
         Construction loans to builders are written for a term of 18 months at a
fixed  rate of  interest.  Construction  loans are  obtained  primarily  through
continued business from builders who have previously  borrowed from the Bank, as
well as referrals from existing  customers.  The application  process includes a
submission  of  accurate  plans,  specifications  and costs of the project to be
constructed.  These items are also used as a basis for determining the appraised
value of the  subject  property.  Loans are based on the  lesser of the  current
appraised value or the cost of construction  (land plus building).  From time to
time,  the Bank has lent  funds for the  development  and  subdivision  of lots,
although the Bank had no such loans in its portfolio at March 31, 1997.

         Commercial Business Lending.  Federally chartered savings institutions,
such as Permanent Federal, are authorized to make secured or unsecured loans and
issue letters of credit for  commercial,  corporate,  business and  agricultural
purposes and to engage in commercial leasing activities,  up to a maximum of 10%
of total assets.

         At March 31, 1997, Permanent Federal had $52,000 in commercial business
loans  outstanding  (representing  .02% of the Bank's total loan portfolio).  At
March 31, 1997, Permanent Federal had no letters of credit outstanding.

Originations, Purchases, Sales and Servicing of Loans and
Mortgage-Backed Securities

         The Bank originates real estate loans through  marketing  efforts,  the
Bank's  customer  base,  walk-in  customers  and  referrals  from  realtors  and
builders.  The Bank originates both  adjustable-rate  and fixed-rate  loans. Its
ability to originate  loans is dependent upon the relative demand for fixed-rate
or ARM loans in the origination market,  which is affected by the term structure
(short-term compared to long-term) of interest rates, as well as the current and
expected future level of interest rates and competition.

         During  fiscal 1997,  the Bank  originated a total of $62.8  million in
loans,  of which total $37.3  million  were  fixed-rate  and $25.5  million were
adjustable-rate.  Of the  fixed-rate  loans  originated  during the year,  $11.3
million were one- to four-family real estate loans,  $23.8 million were consumer
loans and $2.2 million were  construction  loans. Of the  adjustable-rate  loans
originated  during the year,  $20.7 million were one- to four-family real estate
loans and $3.9 million were construction loans.

         The Bank's current policy is to sell all fixed-rate  conventional loans
that are originated or converted with terms of more than 20 years. Likewise, all
FHA and VA loans are sold,  irrespective  of term.  In contrast,  all ARM loans,
regardless  of the term,  are retained and other loans with terms of 20 years or
less are also  retained in the Bank's  portfolio.  Servicing  is retained on all
loan sales, except for FHA and VA mortgage loans.

During fiscal 1995, 1996 and 1997, the Bank sold $1.5 million,  $3.3 million and
$1.0 million of loans, respectively.

         With respect to the loans that the Bank sells,  it is the policy of the
Bank to sell  current  production  of such  loans as  quickly  as the  loans are
originated,  unless it is determined to temporarily  hold these loans until more
favorable rates are available. However, it is the Bank's policy that in no event
shall a loan  continue  to be held for sale if the price to be  received on that
loan drops below net 98 (98 cents on the  dollar) or the maximum  dollar loss on
the sale of that loan would exceed $4,063,  whichever  comes first. In addition,
<PAGE>
the Bank's  policy  provides  that any loan held for sale which bears a rate too
high to sell in the  secondary  market  without  having to  accept a  discounted
premium will continue to be held until such time as market  conditions allow the
loan to be sold without a premium discount.

         Government  loans are  committed  for sale with a private  investor the
same day an  application  is received.  The  requirements  for delivery are on a
"best effort"  basis,  providing that if for any reason the loan does not close,
there is no financial exposure to the Bank.

         The Board of Directors receives a monthly report identifying the number
and  dollar  amount of  mortgage  loans not sold  which  present  any  potential
interest rate risk exposure to the Bank. The report further  details the current
secondary  market buy rates and the  estimated  gain or loss at such rates.  The
Bank attempts to limit any interest rate risk exposure created by commitments to
make or sell loans by limiting  the number of days  between the  commitment  and
closing,  charging fees for commitments and managing the amount of its uncovered
commitments outstanding at any one time.

         The Bank occasionally  purchases loans and loan participations for one-
to four-family,  multi-family and commercial real estate loans. Such loans had a
carrying value of approximately  $9.1 million,  $8.5 million and $7.1 million at
March 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

         During  the  past  three   fiscal   years,   the  Bank  has   purchased
mortgage-backed  securities in order to supplement loan demand.  In fiscal 1995,
the Bank  purchased  $11.1 million of  mortgage-backed  securities and purchased
$30.2  million  and $34.5  million of such  securities  in fiscal 1996 and 1997,
respectively. The mortgage-backed securities purchased generally had fixed rates
and maturities of up to 15 years and adjustable rates up to 30 years.
See "Investment Activities."

         The Bank had commitments to make loans,  including  participations,  of
approximately  $800,000,  $4.0 million and $1.6 million  (excluding  undisbursed
portions of loans in process),  at March 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997,  respectively.
In addition, the Bank had approximately $266,500, $0 and $104,000 in commitments
to sell loans at March 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

         The  amount of loans  serviced  by the Bank for  others  totaled  $41.3
million,  $37.9  million,  and $34.3  million at March 31, 1995,  1996 and 1997,
respectively.

         The  Bank  generally  earns  servicing  fees  of 25  basis  points  for
servicing  loans for others.  For the years ended March 31, 1995,  1996 and 1997
such  fees   amounted  to   approximately   $123,000,   $104,000  and  $101,000,
respectively.

Asset Quality

         Loan  Monitoring  Procedures.  When a borrower fails to make a required
payment on a loan,  the Bank  attempts to cause the  delinquency  to be cured by
contacting  the borrower.  In the case of loans  secured by real estate,  a late
notice is sent nine days after the scheduled payment date and a second notice is
sent after 16 days.  In the case of consumer  loans,  a late notice is sent five
days  after the  scheduled  payment  date and a second  notice is sent after ten
days. If the delinquency is not cured by this time, contact with the borrower is
made by phone.  Additional  written and verbal  contacts  or  meetings  with the
borrower are made to the extent  necessary.  With respect to mortgage  loans, if
the  delinquency  is not cured by the 90th day, a 30-day  default letter is sent
and, once that period lapses, appropriate action to foreclose on the property is
initiated.  Interest income on loans at this point is reduced by the full amount
of accrued and uncollected  interest.  If foreclosed,  the property is sold at a
sheriff's sale and typically is purchased by the Bank. Delinquent consumer loans
are  handled  in a  similar  manner.  If these  efforts  fail to bring  the loan
current,  appropriate  action  may be taken to  collect  any loan  payment  that
remains delinquent.  The Bank's procedures for repossession and sale of consumer
collateral are subject to various requirements under Indiana consumer protection
laws.

         Real estate acquired by Permanent Federal as a result of foreclosure or
by deed in lieu of  foreclosure  is  classified as real estate owned until it is
sold.  When  property  is  acquired,  it is  recorded  at the  lower  of cost or
estimated fair value at the date of  acquisition,  and any write-down  resulting
therefrom is charged  against the allowance for loan losses.  Upon  acquisition,
all costs  incurred in  maintaining  the property are expensed.  However,  costs
relating to the  development  and improvement of the property are capitalized to
the extent of net realizable value.

         Prior to the  consummation of commercial  real estate loans,  financial
information on the project and its  principals are reviewed,  and appraisals are
obtained and reviewed.  Subsequent  balance sheets and operating  statements are
obtained  and  reviewed  on at least an annual  basis.  On loans  that  indicate
potential weaknesses, more frequent reviews are made.

         A committee of senior officers of the Bank  periodically  reviews large
loans  (generally,  those with  balances in excess of  $100,000).  The committee
examines  the  borrower's   financial   statements  and  position,   prior  loan
performance and any industry or economic trends which would  potentially  affect
the borrower's operations or collateral values.

         Appraisals  are obtained on  properties  that are  transferred  to real
estate  owned.  The  Bank  performs  periodic  fair  value   computations  using
methodology  consistent  with that of an  appraiser.  For a  description  of the
Bank's  fair  value  computations  for  certain  Cardinal  loans,  see  "Lending
Activities  -  Multi-Family  and  Commercial  Real  Estate  Lending --  Cardinal
Industries,  Inc." Appraisals are assigned only to qualified  appraisers located
within or familiar  with the location of the subject  property.  Net  realizable
value  calculations  are performed on all properties in either real estate owned
or loans classified as impaired. The result of these calculations may indicate a
writedown of the asset or specific reserve allowance.
<PAGE>
         Classified Assets.  Federal  regulations provide for the classification
of loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities  considered by the
OTS to be of lesser quality, as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss." An asset is
considered  "substandard"  if it is  inadequately  protected  by the current net
worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral  pledged,  if any.
"Substandard"  assets include those characterized by the "distinct  possibility"
that the insured  institution  will sustain "some loss" if the  deficiencies are
not  corrected.  Assets  classified  as  "doubtful"  have all of the  weaknesses
inherent in those classified  "substandard," with the added  characteristic that
the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in full," on the basis of
currently  existing  facts,  conditions  and values,  "highly  questionable  and
improbable."  Assets  classified as "loss" are those considered  "uncollectible"
and  of  such  little  value  that  their  continuance  as  assets  without  the
establishment  of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.  Assets which do not
currently  expose  the  insured   institution  to  sufficient  risk  to  warrant
classification in one of the  aforementioned  categories but possess  weaknesses
are required to be designated "special mention" by management.

         When  an  insured  institution  classifies  problem  assets  as  either
substandard or doubtful,  it may establish general allowances for loan losses in
an amount  deemed  prudent by  management.  General  allowances  represent  loss
allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated
with lending activities,  but which, unlike specific  allowances,  have not been
allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured  institution  classifies
problem  assets as  "loss,"  it is  required  either  to  establish  a  specific
allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or
to  charge-off  such  amount.   An   institution's   determination   as  to  the
classification  of its  assets  and the amount of its  valuation  allowances  is
subject to review by the regulatory authorities, who may order the establishment
of additional general or specific loss allowances.
<PAGE>
         In connection with the filing of its periodic  reports with the OTS and
in accordance  with its  classification  of assets  policy,  the Bank  regularly
reviews  problem  loans and real  estate  acquired  through  foreclosure  in its
portfolio to determine whether such assets require  classification in accordance
with applicable  regulations.  Classified  assets of the Bank at March 31, 1997,

are included in the table of non-performing assets.

         The  distribution  of the allowance for loan losses is consistent  with
the Bank's accounting  policy.  See also "Lending  Activities - Multi-Family and

         Additional  information  concerning the quality of the Company's assets
and  allowance  for  loan  losses  is   incorporated   herein  by  reference  to
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations" contained in the Annual Report.

Investment Activities

         General.  Permanent Federal must maintain minimum levels of investments
that qualify as liquid assets under OTS  regulations.  Liquidity may increase or
decrease  depending upon the  availability  of funds and  comparative  yields on
investments  in  relation  to the  return on loans.  Historically,  the Bank has
maintained liquid assets at levels above the minimum requirements imposed by the
OTS  regulations  and at levels  believed  adequate to meet the  requirements of
normal operations,  including  repayments of maturing debt and potential deposit
<PAGE>
outflows.  Cash flow  projections  are regularly  reviewed and updated to assure
that adequate  liquidity is maintained.  At March 31, 1997, the Bank's liquidity
ratio (liquid assets as a percentage of net  withdrawable  savings  deposits and
current  borrowings)  was 8.7%.  See  "Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of
Financial  Condition and Results of Operations  Liquidity and Capital Resources"
in the Annual Report and "Regulation - Liquidity."

         Federally  chartered savings  institutions have the authority to invest
in various types of liquid assets, including United States Treasury obligations,
securities  of various  federal  agencies,  certain  certificates  of deposit of
insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers' acceptances, repurchase
agreements  and  federal  funds.  Subject  to  various  restrictions,  federally
chartered savings institutions may also invest their assets in commercial paper,
investment grade corporate debt securities and mutual funds whose assets conform
to the investments that a federally  chartered savings  institution is otherwise
authorized to make directly.

         Generally,  the investment  policy of the Bank is to invest funds among
various categories of investments and maturities based upon the Bank's liquidity
needs, asset/liability management policies, investment quality and marketability
and performance objectives.

         Securities.  At March 31, 1997,  Permanent Federal's securities totaled
$85.2  million,  or 20.1% of total assets.  As of such date, the Bank also had a
$5.2 million investment in FHLB stock, satisfying its requirement for membership
in the  FHLB of  Indianapolis.  It is the  Bank's  general  policy  to  purchase
securities which are U.S. Government securities or federal agency obligations or
other issues that are rated  investment  grade.  At March 31, 1997,  the average
term to maturity or repricing of the securities portfolio was 7.0 years.

         OTS  guidelines   regarding  investment  portfolio  accounting  require
institutions  to  categorize  securities  and certain  other  assets as "held to
maturity",  "available  for sale" or  "trading."  The portion of the  investment
portfolio  which is held with the intent to hold to maturity is accounted for on
an amortized cost basis.  Assets which are categorized as available for sale are
carried at the lower of  historical  cost or market.  At March 31, 1995 the Bank
had $992,000 in securities  "Available for Sale" and no securities identified as
"Trading".  The  securities  available for sale at March 31, 1995 had unrealized
gains of $3,000.  At March 31, 1996,  the Bank had $73.2  million in  securities
available for sale and no securities  identified  as "trading."  The  securities
available for sale at March 31, 1996 had net unrealized  losses of $238,000.  At
March 31, 1997, the Bank had $85.2 million in securities  available for sale and
no securities  identified as trading. The securities available for sale at March
31, 1997 had net unrealized losses of $1,840,000.

         At March 31,  1997 the  Bank's  securities  portfolio  did not  contain
securities  of any issuer with an  aggregate  book value in excess of 10% of the
Bank's  retained  earnings,  excluding  securities  issued by the United  States
Government or its agencies.

         The Bank's securities portfolio is managed in accordance with a written
investment policy adopted by the Board of Directors.  Investments may be made by
authorized Bank officers within  specified  limits.  At March 31, 1997, the Bank
held  $25,000  of such  securities  as held to  maturity  and $85.2  million  as
available  for sale.  See also Note [2] of the Notes to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements in the Annual Report.

         Mortgage-Backed Securities. The Bank has a portfolio of mortgage-backed
securities and has utilized such  investments to complement its mortgage lending
activities.  See "Lending Activities - One- to Four-Family  Residential Mortgage
Lending."  At March 31,  1997,  the Bank's  mortgage-backed  securities  totaled
$101.2 million. At such date, the mortgage-backed securities portfolio consisted
entirely of securities  backed by loans insured or guaranteed by the  Government
National   Mortgage   Association   ("GNMA"),   the  Federal  National  Mortgage
Association ("FNMA") or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). At
March  31,  1997,   the  Bank's   portfolio   consisted  of  $27.2   million  in
mortgage-backed  securities  held to maturity and $74.0  million  available  for
sale. At such date, the portfolio had a weighted average interest rate of 6.71%.

         For  information  regarding the carrying and market values of Permanent
Federal's  mortgage-backed  securities  portfolio,  see Note  3  of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

         Under the OTS risk-based  capital  requirements,  GNMA  mortgage-backed
securities  have a zero  percent  risk  weighting  and FNMA,  FHLMC and AA-rated
mortgage-backed  securities  have a 20% risk  weighting,  in contrast to the 50%
risk weighting carried by one- to four-family  performing  residential  mortgage
loans.

Sources of Funds

         General. The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization
and  repayment  of  loan  principal  and  interest  (including   mortgage-backed
securities), maturities of securities, mortgage-backed securities and short-term
investments, FHLB advances and funds provided from operations.

         Borrowings are used to compensate  for seasonal  reductions in deposits
or deposit inflows at less than projected levels, to purchase investments and to
support lending  activities.  At March 31, 1997, the Bank's borrowings  included
FHLB  advances  totaling  $98.5  million,  FHLB  funds due April 1, 1997 of $1.2
million and  securities  sold under  agreements to  repurchase of $607,000.  See
"Borrowings" and Notes 8 and 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
in the Annual Report.

         Deposits. Permanent Federal offers a variety of deposit accounts having
a wide  range of  interest  rates and  terms.  The  Bank's  deposits  consist of
passbook accounts, NOW, money market and other checking accounts and certificate
accounts. The Bank relies primarily on advertising, competitive pricing policies
and customer  service to attract and retain these  deposits.  Permanent  Federal
solicits  deposits  from its  market  area only and does not  solicit  or accept
brokered deposits.
<PAGE>
         The flow of deposits is influenced  significantly  by general  economic
conditions,   changes  in  money  market  and  prevailing   interest  rates  and
competition.  The variety of deposit accounts offered by the Bank has allowed it
to be competitive in obtaining funds and to respond with  flexibility to changes
in  consumer  demand.  The  Bank  has  become  more  susceptible  to  short-term
fluctuations  in deposit  flows as  customers  have  become more  interest  rate
conscious.  The Bank  manages  the pricing of its  deposits in keeping  with its
asset/liability management and profitability objectives. The ability of the Bank
to attract and  maintain  certificates  of deposit,  and the rates paid on these
deposits,  has been and will  continue  to be  significantly  affected by market
conditions.  The Bank  believes  that the  recent  trends in  deposit  migration
represents an industry  phenomenon and are not unique to the Bank. The Bank will
continue to remain rate  competitive  on maturing  deposits  and to utilize FHLB
advances as a funding  alternative when necessary.  During fiscal year 1995, the
Bank  experienced a net outflow of deposits,  but had a net inflow during fiscal
1996 and fiscal  1997.  The FHLB has  recently  introduced  several  new advance
programs that offer variable rates or amortizing  principal amounts specifically
tied to funding one-to four-family residential loans. These advances have proven
to be a less costly  funding source after  consideration  of the cost of deposit
insurance associated with traditional deposits.

      The following  table sets forth the dollar  amount of savings  deposits in
the  various  types of  deposit  programs  offered  by the Bank for the  periods
indicated.

         Borrowings.  Although  deposits are the Bank's primary source of funds,
the Bank's  policy has been to utilize  borrowings  when they are a less  costly
source of funds or can be invested at a positive rate of return.

         Permanent  Federal may obtain  advances  from the FHLB of  Indianapolis
upon the  security of its FHLB capital  stock and certain of its mortgage  loans
and  mortgage-backed  securities.  Such advances may be made pursuant to several
different credit programs,  each of which has its own interest rate and range of
maturities. At March 31, 1997 the Bank's FHLB advances totaled $98.5 million and
its FHLB overnight  borrowings  totaled $1.2 million.  See also Notes 8 and 9 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Service Corporation Activities

         Federal  associations  generally may invest up to 2% of their assets in
service corporations, plus an additional 1% of assets if for community purposes.
In  addition,  federal  associations  may  invest up to 50% of their  regulatory
capital in conforming loans to service  corporations in which they own more than
10% of the capital stock.  In addition to  investments in service  corporations,
federal  associations  are permitted to invest an unlimited  amount in operating
subsidiaries engaged solely in activities which a federal association may engage
in directly.

         Permanent Federal has one first-tier service corporation, Perma Service
Corp.  ("Perma  Service"),  located in  Evansville,  Indiana.  Perma Service has
approximately a 20% interest,  along with four other financial institutions,  in
Family Financial Life Insurance Company  ("FFLIC"),  which  underwrites  various
types of life and disability  insurance and annuity programs.  FFLIC reinsures a
majority of the risk it underwrites  with other  insurers.  Permanent  Federal's
share of FFLIC's net income for the year ended March 31, 1997 was $43,000.
<PAGE>
         Perma Service also has one wholly owned subsidiary, Permanent Insurance
Agency  Inc.  ("PIAI"),  which  offers,  on an  agency  basis,  casualty,  life,
accident, health, mortgage,  disability, and consumer credit insurance. PIAI had
a net loss of $25,000 for the year ended March 31, 1997.

         Through Perma Service, the Bank also provides brokerage services, on an
agency basis, through INVESTTM.

Competition

         Permanent  Federal faces strong  competition,  both in originating real
estate and other loans and in attracting  deposits.  Competition  in originating
real estate loans comes  primarily  from  commercial  banks,  other  thrifts and
mortgage companies.  The Bank competes for loans principally on the basis of the
interest  rates and loan fees it charges,  the types of loans it originates  and
the quality of services it provides to borrowers.

         The  Bank  attracts  most of its  deposits  from  Vanderburgh,  Gibson,
Warrick,   Posey  and  Dubois  Counties.   Competition  for  those  deposits  is
principally  from  commercial  banks,  other  thrifts,  credit  unions and other
financial  intermediaries  doing business in the same community.  The ability of
the Bank to attract  and retain  deposits  depends on its  ability to provide an
investment  opportunity  that satisfies the requirements of investors as to rate
of  return,  liquidity,  risk and other  factors.  The Bank  competes  for these
deposits by  offering a variety of deposit  accounts  at  competitive  rates and
convenient  business  hours.  At June  30,  1996,  the  latest  date  for  which
information is available,  the Bank's share of the savings market in its primary
market area was 6.6%.

Regulation

         General.  Permanent Federal is a federally  chartered savings bank, the
deposits of which are federally  insured and backed by the full faith and credit
of the  United  States  Government.  Accordingly,  the Bank is  subject to broad
federal regulation and oversight extending to all its operations.  The Bank is a
member of the FHLB of Indianapolis and is subject to certain limited  regulation
by the Board of Governors of the Federal  Reserve  System (the "Federal  Reserve
Board").  As the  savings  and loan  holding  company of the Bank,  the  Holding
Company also is subject to federal regulation and oversight.  The purpose of the
regulation  of the Holding  Company and other  holding  companies  is to protect
subsidiary savings associations. The Bank is a member of the Savings Association
Insurance  Fund (the  "SAIF")  and the  deposits  of the Bank are insured by the
FDIC. As a result,  the FDIC has certain  regulatory and  examination  authority
over the Bank.

         Certain of these regulatory requirements and restrictions are discussed
below or elsewhere in this document.

         Federal  Regulation  of  Savings  Associations.  The OTS has  extensive
authority  over  the  operations  of  savings  associations.  As  part  of  this
authority,  the Bank is required to file  periodic  reports  with the OTS and is
subject to periodic  examinations  by the OTS and the FDIC. The last regular OTS
and FDIC examinations of Permanent Federal,  for which reports have been issued,
were as of December 1996 and April 1991,  respectively.  When these examinations
are  conducted by the OTS and the FDIC,  the  examiners  may require the Bank to
provide  for  higher   general  or  specific  loan  loss   reserves.   Financial
<PAGE>
institutions  in various  regions of the United  States have been called upon by
examiners  to write down assets and to establish  increased  levels of reserves,
primarily as a result of perceived  weaknesses  in real estate values and a more
restrictive regulatory climate.

         All savings associations are subject to a semi-annual assessment, based
upon the savings  association's total assets, to fund the operations of the OTS.
Permanent Federal's OTS assessment for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, was
$97,000.

         The OTS also  has  extensive  enforcement  authority  over all  savings
institutions  and their holding  companies,  including the Bank and the Company.
This enforcement  authority includes,  among other things, the ability to assess
civil  money  penalties,  to issue  cease-and-desist  or  removal  orders and to
initiate  injunctive  actions.  In  general,  these  enforcement  actions may be
initiated  for  violations  of  laws  and  regulations  and  unsafe  or  unsound
practices.  Other  actions or  inactions  may provide the basis for  enforcement
action,  including  misleading or untimely  reports  filed with the OTS.  Except
under certain  circumstances,  public disclosure of final enforcement actions by
the OTS is required.

         In addition,  the  investment,  lending and branching  authority of the
Bank is prescribed by federal laws and  regulations,  and it is prohibited  from
engaging in any  activities  not  permitted  by such laws and  regulations.  For
instance,  no savings  institution may invest in non-investment  grade corporate
debt  securities.  In addition,  the permissible  level of investment by federal
associations  in loans secured by  non-residential  real property may not exceed
400% of  total  capital,  except  with  approval  of the  OTS.  Federal  savings
associations are also generally authorized to branch nationwide.  The Bank is in
compliance with the noted restrictions.

         The Bank's general permissible  lending limit for  loans-to-oneborrower
is equal to 15% of  unimpaired  capital  and  surplus  (except  for loans  fully
secured by certain readily  marketable  collateral,  in which case this limit is
increased to 25% of  unimpaired  capital and  surplus).  At March 31, 1997,  the
Bank's lending limit under this restriction was $5.3 million. At March 31, 1997,
the Bank had no loans in excess of this limit.  The Bank is in  compliance  with
the loans-to-one-borrower limitation.

         The OTS, as well as the other  federal  banking  agencies,  has adopted
guidelines  establishing  safety and soundness standards on matters such as loan
underwriting and  documentation,  asset quality,  earnings  standards,  internal
controls and audit  systems,  interest rate risk exposure and  compensation  and
other  employee  benefits.  Any  institution  which  fails to comply  with these
standards must submit a compliance plan. A failure to submit a plan or to comply
with an  approved  plan will  subject  the  institution  to further  enforcement
action. The Bank has not been required to submit a compliance plan.

         Insurance of Accounts and  Regulation by the FDIC. The Bank is a member
of the SAIF,  which is  administered  by the FDIC.  Deposits  are  insured up to
applicable limits by the FDIC and such insurance is backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States  Government.  As insurer,  the FDIC imposes  deposit
insurance  premiums and is authorized to conduct  examinations of and to require
reporting by FDIC-insured  institutions.  It also may prohibit any  FDIC-insured
institution  from engaging in any activity the FDIC  determines by regulation or
order  to pose a  serious  risk to the SAIF or the  BIF.  The FDIC  also has the
authority to initiate  enforcement actions against savings  associations,  after
<PAGE>
giving the OTS an opportunity to take such action, and may terminate the deposit
insurance if it determines  that the  institution  has engaged or is engaging in
unsafe or unsound practices, or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.

         The FDIC's deposit insurance premiums are assessed through a risk-based
system under which all insured  depository  institutions  are placed into one of
nine  categories  and  assessed  insurance  premiums  based upon their  level of
capital and supervisory evaluation. Under the system, institutions classified as
well capitalized  (i.e., those with a core capital ratio of at least 5%, a ratio
of Tier 1 or core capital to risk-weighted  assets ("Tier 1 risk-based capital")
of at least 6% and a risk-based  capital  ratio of at least 10%) and  considered
healthy pay the lowest premium while  institutions that are less than adequately
capitalized  (i.e., those with core and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of less
than 4% or a  risk-based  capital  ratio  of less  than  8%) and  considered  of
substantial   supervisory   concern   would  pay  the  highest   premium.   Risk
classification  of all  insured  institutions  is  made  by the  FDIC  for  each
semi-annual assessment period.

         The FDIC is authorized to increase  assessment  rates,  on a semiannual
basis, if it determines that the reserve ratio of the SAIF will be less than the
designated  reserve  ratio of 1.25% of SAIF insured  deposits.  In setting these
increased  assessments,  the FDIC must seek to restore the reserve ratio to that
designated  reserve  level,  or such higher  reserve ratio as established by the
FDIC. The FDIC may impose  special  assessments on SAIF members to repay amounts
borrowed  from  the  United  States  Treasury  or for any  other  reason  deemed
necessary by the FDIC.

         For the  first six  months of 1995,  the  assessment  schedule  for BIF
members and SAIF members  ranged from .23% to .31% of  deposits.  As is the case
with the SAIF, the FDIC is authorized to adjust the insurance  premium rates for
banks that are insured by the BIF of the FDIC in order to  maintain  the reserve
ratio of the BIF at  1.25%  of BIF  insured  deposits.  As a  result  of the BIF
reaching its statutory  reserve ratio the FDIC revised the premium  schedule for
BIF insured  institutions  to provide a range of .04% to .31% of  deposits.  The
revisions  became  effective in the third quarter of 1995. In addition,  the BIF
rates were further revised,  effective January 1996, to provide a range of 0% to
 .27%. The SAIF rates,  however,  were not adjusted. At the time the FDIC revised
the BIF premium schedule, it noted that, absent legislative action (as discussed
below),  the SAIF would not attain its  designated  reserve ratio until the year
2002. As a result,  SAIF insured members would continue to be generally  subject
to higher deposit insurance  premiums than BIF insured  institutions  until, all
things being equal, the SAIF attained its required reserve ratio.

         In order to eliminate this disparity and any  competitive  disadvantage
between  BIF and SAIF  member  institutions  with  respect to deposit  insurance
premiums,  legislation to recapitalize the SAIF was enacted in September,  1996.
The  legislation  provides  for a  one-time  assessment,  to be  imposed  on all
deposits  assessed at the SAIF rates as of March 31, 1995.  It also provides for
the merger of the BIF and the SAIF on January 1, 1999 if no savings associations
then  exist.  The  special  assessment  rate  has been  established  at .657% of
deposits by the FDIC and the  resulting  assessment  of  $1,766,185  was paid in
November  1996.  This special  assessment  significantly  increased  noninterest
expense and adversely  affected the Bank's  results of  operations  for the year
ended March 31, 1997. As a result of the special assessment,  the Bank's deposit
insurance   premiums   was  reduced  to  .065%  based  upon  its  current   risk
classification  and the new assessment  schedule for SAIF insured  institutions.
These premiums are subject to change in future periods.
<PAGE>
         Prior  to the  enactment  of the  legislation,  a  portion  of the SAIF
assessment imposed on savings  associations was used to repay obligations issued
by a federally chartered corporation to provide financing ("FICO") for resolving
the thrift  crisis in the 1980s.  although the FDIC has  proposed  that the SAIF
assessment be equalized with the BIF assessment  schedule,  effective October 1,
1996, SAIF-insured institutions will continue to be subject to a FICO assessment
as a result of this continuing  obligation.  Although the  legislation  also now
requires  assessments  to be made on  BIF-assessable  deposits for this purpose,
effective  January  1,  1997,  that  assessment  was  limited to 20% of the rate
imposed on SAIF  assessable  deposits  until the earlier of December 31, 1999 or
when no  savings  association  continues  to exist,  thereby  imposing a greater
burden  on SAIF  member  institutions  such as the  Bank.  Thereafter,  however,
assessments  on  BIF-member  institutions  will  be made on the  same  basis  as
SAIF-member  institutions.  The rates to be established by the FDIC to implement
this  requirement for all  FDIC-insured  institutions is uncertain at this time,
but are  anticipated to be about a 6.5 basis points  assessment on SAIF deposits
and 1.5 basis points on BIF deposits until BIF insured institutions  participate
fully in the assessment.

Legislative Action

         On September 30, 1996,  President  Clinton signed into law the Economic
Development  and  Regulatory  paperwork  Reduction Act of 1996 (the "Act").  The
Act's  principal  provisions  relate to  recapitalization  of SAIF,  but it also
contains  numerous  regulatory  relief  measures,  some of  which  are  directly
appliable to the Bank.

         Pursuant  to the Act, as of January 1, 1997,  commercial  banks will be
required  to  share in the  payment  of  interst  due on  Financial  Corporation
("FICO")  bonds used to rescue the  savings  and loan  industry  in the  1980's.
Annual FICO assessments to be added to deposit  insurance  premiums are expected
to equal  approximately  6.4 basis  points for SAIF members and 1.3 basis points
for  BIF  members  from  January  1,  1997  through   December  31,  1999,   and
approximately 2.4 basis points for both BIF and SAIF members thereafter.

         Although  this  provision of the Act  establishes  a time frame for the
eventual elimination of the thrift charter, it contains no provisions concerning
the form the current  thrift  charter  may be required to take.  The Bank cannot
determine  at this time  what  effect  this  provision  will  have on  financial
position or operations.

         Finally,  the Act contains several other provisions  designed to reduce
regulatory  burdens  associated with compliance with various  consumer and other
laws applicabale to the Company,  including for example,  provisions designed to
coordinate the disclosure and other requirements under the  Truth-in-Lending and
Real  Estate   Settlement   Procedures   Act,  modify  certain  insider  lending
restrictions,  permit OTS to allow  exemptions  to  anti-tying  prohibitions  an
exempt  certain   transactions  and  simplilfy  certain  disclosures  under  the
Truth-in-Lending Act.

         In addition,  the United  States  Department  of the Treasury  recently
released a form of proposed legislation that would restructure the regulation of
the financial services industry, by among other things,  eliminating the various
restrictions  on the ability of banks to  affiliate  with  companies  engaged in
lines of business not generally  currently  permissible,  such as securities and
insurance activities. Although the Company believes that the form of legislation
currently  under  consideration  will not have a material  adverse effect on the
Company, the Company cannot determine, whether or in what form, such legislation
will eventually be enacted or its effect on the Bank.
<PAGE>
         Regulatory    Capital    Requirements.    Federally   insured   savings
associations,  such as the Bank,  are  required to  maintain a minimum  level of
regulatory  capital.  The OTS has  established  capital  standards,  including a
tangible capital requirement, a leverage ratio (or core capital) requirement and
a risk-based capital requirement applicable to such savings associations.  These
capital  requirements  must be generally as stringent as the comparable  capital
requirements  for national  banks.  The OTS is also authorized to impose capital
requirements  in excess  of these  standards  on  individual  associations  on a
case-by-case basis.
 
         The capital  regulations  require  tangible capital of at least 1.5% of
adjusted total assets (as defined by  regulation).  Tangible  capital  generally
includes  common   stockholders'   equity  and  retained  income,   and  certain
noncumulative  perpetual  preferred stock and related income.  In addition,  all
intangible  assets,  other than a limited amount of purchased mortgage servicing
rights,  must be deducted from tangible capital for calculating  compliance with
the requirement. At March 31, 1997, the Bank had no purchased mortgage servicing
rights.

         The OTS regulations establish special  capitalization  requirements for
savings associations that own subsidiaries.  In determining  compliance with the
capital requirements,  all subsidiaries engaged solely in activities permissible
for national  banks or engaged in certain other  activities  solely as agent for
its customers are  "includable"  subsidiaries  that are consolidated for capital
purposes in proportion to the association's  level of ownership.  For excludable
subsidiaries the debt and equity  investments in such  subsidiaries are deducted
from assets and capital.  At March 31,  1997,  the Bank's  service  corporation,
Perma Service, was an includable subsidiary; however, Perma Service's investment
in FFLIC was not considered an includable investment and, accordingly,  the Bank
was required to deduct 100% of its  investment in FFLIC from  capital.  At March
31, 1997, the  nonincludable  portion of the Bank's  investment in FFLIC totaled
$633,302. See also "Service Corporation Activities."

         At March 31, 1997, the Bank had tangible  capital of $34.7 million,  or
8.27% of adjusted total assets,  which is approximately  $28.4 million above the
minimum requirement of 1.50% of adjusted total assets in effect on that date.
 
         The capital standards also require core capital equal to at least 3% of
adjusted  total  assets  (as  defined by  regulation).  Core  capital  generally
consists of tangible capital plus certain intangible assets, including a limited
amount  of  purchased  credit  card  relationships.  As a result  of the  prompt
corrective action provisions  discussed below,  however,  a savings  association
must maintain a core capital  ratio of at least 4% to be  considered  adequately
capitalized  unless its supervisory  condition is such to allow it to maintain a
3% ratio.  At March 31, 1997, the Bank had no intangibles  which were subject to
these tests.

         At March 31, 1997, the Bank had core capital equal to $34.7 million, or
8.27% of  adjusted  total  assets,  which is $22.1  million  above  the  minimum
leverage ratio requirement of 3% in effect on that date.

          The OTS risk-based  requirement  requires savings associations to have
total capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted  assets. Total capital consists of
core capital, as defined above, and supplementary capital. Supplementary capital
consists of certain  permanent  and  maturing  capital  instruments  that do not
qualify as core capital and general  valuation loan and lease loss allowances up
to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets.
<PAGE>
         Certain  exclusions from capital and assets are required to be made for
the purpose of calculating  total  capital.  Such  exclusions  consist of equity
investments  (as  defined  by  regulation)  and that  portion  of land loans and
nonresidential  construction  loans in excess of an 80% loan-to-value  ratio and
reciprocal holdings of qualifying capital instruments. The Bank's only exclusion
from capital and assets at March 31, 1997 was its investment in FFLIC.
 
         In  determining  the  amount  of  risk-weighted   assets,  all  assets,
including certain  off-balance sheet items, will be multiplied by a risk weight,
ranging from 0% to 100%,  based on the risk  inherent in the type of asset.  For
example,  the OTS has assigned a risk weight of 50% for  prudently  underwritten
permanent  one- to  four-family  first lien mortgage loans not more than 90 days
delinquent  and having a loan to value ratio of not more than 80% at origination
unless insured to such ratio by an insurer approved by the FNMA or FHLMC.

         OTS Regulations  also require that every savings  association with more
than normal  interest rate risk exposure to deduct from its total  capital,  for
purposes of determining compliance with such requirement, an amount equal to 50%
of its  interest-rate  risk  exposure  multiplied  by the  present  value of its
assets. This exposure is a measure of the potential decline in the net portfolio
value of a savings  association,  greater  than 2% of the  present  value of its
assets,  based upon a  hypothetical  200 basis  point  increase  or  decrease in
interest rates (whichever results in a greater decline).  Net portfolio value is
the  present  value  of  expected  cash  flows  from  assets,   liabilities  and
off-balance  sheet  contracts.  The rule will not become effective until the OTS
evaluates the process by which savings  associations may appeal an interest rate
risk deduction determination.  It is uncertain as to when this evaluation may be
completed.  Any savings  association with less than $300 million in assets and a
total capital ratio in excess of 12% is exempt from this requirement  unless the
OTS determines otherwise.  Until the rule is finalized,  no determination can be
made of what, if any, impact this rule may have on the Bank.

         At March  31,  1997,  the  Bank  had  total  capital  of $36.5  million
(including  $34.7  million in core capital) and  risk-weighted  assets of $175.4
million (including $2.3 million in converted  off-balance sheet assets) or total
capital of 20.80% of risk-weighted  assets.  This amount was $22.5 million above
the 8% requirement in effect on that date.
 
         The OTS and the FDIC are authorized  and,  under certain  circumstances
required, to take certain actions against savings associations that fail to meet
their  capital  requirements.  The OTS is  generally  required to take action to
restrict the activities of an "undercapitalized  association" (generally defined
to be  one  with  less  than  either  a 4%  core  capital  ratio,  a 4%  Tier  1
risked-based  capital  ratio  or an  8%  risk-based  capital  ratio).  Any  such
association  must  submit a  capital  restoration  plan and  until  such plan is
approved by the OTS may not increase its assets,  acquire  another  institution,
establish a branch or engage in any new  activities,  and generally may not make
capital   distributions.   The  OTS  is  authorized  to  impose  the  additional
restrictions that are applicable to significantly undercapitalized associations.

          As a condition to the approval of the capital  restoration  plan,  any
company  controlling  an  undercapitalized  association  must agree that it will
enter  into  a  limited  capital  maintenance  guarantee  with  respect  to  the
institution's achievement of its capital requirements.
<PAGE>
         Any savings  association  that fails to comply with its capital plan or
is  "significantly  undercapitalized"  (i.e.,  Tier 1 risk-based or core capital
ratios of less than 3% or a  risk-based  capital  ratio of less than 6%) must be
made  subject  to one or more of  additional  specified  actions  and  operating
restrictions  which may cover all aspects of its operations and include a forced
merger  or  acquisition  of  the   association.   An  association  that  becomes
"critically  undercapitalized" (i.e., a tangible capital ratio of 2% or less) is
subject to further mandatory restrictions on its activities in addition to those
applicable to significantly  undercapitalized associations. In addition, the OTS
must appoint a receiver (or conservator  with the concurrence of the FDIC) for a
savings  association,  with certain limited exceptions,  within 90 days after it
becomes critically  undercapitalized.  Any undercapitalized  association is also
subject to the general  enforcement  actions by the OTS and the FDIC,  including
the appointment of a conservator or a receiver.

         The OTS is also generally  authorized to reclassify an association into
a lower capital category and impose the restrictions applicable to such category
if the institution is engaged in unsafe or unsound  practices or is in an unsafe
or unsound condition.

         The  imposition by the OTS or the FDIC of any of these  measures on the
Bank  may  have a  substantial  adverse  effect  on the  Bank's  operations  and
profitability  and the value of the Common Stock  purchased  in the  Conversion.
Holding Company  shareholders do not have preemptive rights;  and therefore,  if
the  Holding  Company  is  directed  by the OTS or the FDIC to issue  additional
shares of  Common  Stock,  such  issuance  may  result  in the  dilution  in the
percentage of ownership of the Company.

         Limitations   on  Dividends  and  Other  Capital   Distributions.   OTS
regulations impose various  restrictions or requirements on savings associations
with respect to their ability to make  distributions  of capital,  which include
dividends,  stock  redemptions  or  repurchases,   cash-out  mergers  and  other
transactions  charged to the capital  account.  OTS regulations  also prohibit a
savings  association from declaring or paying any dividends or from repurchasing
any of its stock if, as a result,  the  regulatory  capital  of the  association
would be reduced below the amount  required to be maintained for the liquidation
account established in connection with its mutual to stock conversion.

         Generally,  savings  associations,  such as the  Subsidiary  Bank  that
before and after the proposed distribution meet their capital requirements,  may
make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to the greater of 100%
of net income for the year-to-date plus 50% of the amount by which the lesser of
the  association's  tangible,  core or  risk-based  capital  exceeds its capital
requirement  for such  capital  component,  as measured at the  beginning of the
calendar  year,  or 75% of their net income  for the most  recent  four  quarter
period.  However,  an  association  deemed  to be in need of  more  than  normal
supervision  by the OTS may have its dividend  authority  restricted by the OTS.
Permanent Federal may pay dividends in accordance with this general authority.

         Savings  associations  proposing to make any capital  distribution need
only  submit  written  notice  to the OTS 30 days  prior  to such  distribution.
Savings  associations  that do not,  or would  not meet  their  current  minimum
capital requirements  following a proposed capital  distribution,  however, must
obtain OTS approval prior to making such distribution. The OTS may object to the
distribution  during that 30-day  period  notice  based on safety and  soundness
concerns. See "- Regulatory Capital Requirements."
<PAGE>
         The OTS has proposed  regulations that would revise the current capital
distribution  restrictions.  Under the proposal a savings association may make a
capital  distribution  without notice to the OTS (unless it is a subsidiary of a
holding  company)  provided  that  it  has a  CAMEL  1 or 2  rating,  is  not of
supervisory concern, and would remain adequately  capitalized (as defined in the
OTS prompt corrective action regulations)  following the proposed  distribution.
Savings  associations  that would remain  adequately  capitalized  following the
proposed  distribution but do not meet the other noted  requirements must notify
the OTS 30 days prior to  declaring  a capital  distribution.  The OTS stated it
will generally regard as permissible that amount of capital  distributions  that
do not exceed 50% of the institution's excess regulatory capital plus net income
to date during the calendar year. A savings  association  may not make a capital
distribution  without  prior  approval  of  the  OTS  and  the  FDIC  if  it  is
undercapitalized  before,  or as a result of, such a distribution.  As under the
current  rule,  the  OTS  may  object  to a  capital  distribution  if it  would
constitute  an unsafe  or  unsound  practice.  No  assurance  may be given as to
whether or in what form the regulations may be adopted.

         Liquidity.  All savings associations,  including the Bank, are required
to  maintain  an  average  daily  balance  of liquid  assets  equal to a certain
percentage of the sum of its average daily balance of net  withdrawable  deposit
accounts and  borrowings  payable in one year or less.  For a discussion of what
the Bank includes in liquid assets, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources"
in the Annual Report.  This liquid asset ratio requirement may vary from time to
time (between 4% and 10%) depending  upon economic  conditions and savings flows
of all savings associations. At the present time, the minimum liquid asset ratio
is 5%.

         In  addition,  short-term  liquid  assets  (e.g.,  cash,  certain  time
deposits,  certain  bankers  acceptances  and short-term  United States Treasury
obligations)  currently must constitute at least 1% of the association's average
daily  balance of net  withdrawable  deposit  accounts  and current  borrowings.
Penalties may be imposed upon associations for violations of either liquid asset
ratio  requirement.  At March 31,  1997,  the Bank was in  compliance  with both
requirements,  with an  overall  liquid  asset  ratio of 8.71% and a  short-term
liquid assets ratio of 3.69%.
 
         Accounting.   An  OTS  policy  statement   applicable  to  all  savings
associations  clarifies and  re-emphasizes  that the investment  activities of a
savings   association  must  be  in  compliance  with  approved  and  documented
investment policies and strategies, and must be accounted for in accordance with
GAAP. Under the policy statement,  management must support its classification of
and accounting for loans and securities (i.e., whether held for investment, sale
or trading) with appropriate documentation. The Bank is in compliance with these
amended rules.

         OTS accounting regulations,  which may be made more stringent than GAAP
by the OTS, require that transactions be reported in a manner that best reflects
their underlying economic substance and inherent risk and that financial reports
must  incorporate any other accounting  regulations or orders  prescribed by the
OTS.
<PAGE>
         Qualified Thrift Lender Test. All savings  associations,  including the
Bank,  are  required to meet a qualified  thrift  lender  ("QTL")  test to avoid
certain  restrictions  on  their  operations.   This  test  requires  a  savings
association  to have  at  least  65% of its  portfolio  assets  (as  defined  by
regulation) in qualified thrift investments on a monthly average for nine out of
every 12 months on a rolling basis. As an alternative,  the savings  association
may maintain 60% of its assets in those assets specified in Section  7701(a)(19)
of the Internal Revenue Code.  Under either test, such assets primarily  consist
of residential  housing  related loans and  investments.  At March 31, 1997, the
Bank met the test and has always met the test since it has been in effect.

         Any savings association that fails to meet the QTL test must convert to
a national bank charter, unless it requalifies as a QTL and thereafter remains a
QTL. If an  association  does not  requalify  and  converts  to a national  bank
charter,  it must remain  SAIF-insured  until the FDIC permits it to transfer to
BIF. If such an association  has not yet  requalified or converted to a national
bank, its new  investments  and activities are limited to those  permissible for
both a savings  association  and a national  bank, and it is limited to national
bank  branching  rights in its home  state.  In  addition,  the  association  is
immediately  ineligible  to receive  any new FHLB  borrowings  and is subject to
national  bank  limits for payment of  dividends.  If such  association  has not
requalified  or  converted  to a national  bank  within  three  years  after the
failure,  it must  divest  of all  investments  and  cease  all  activities  not
permissible  for a  national  bank.  In  addition,  it must repay  promptly  any
outstanding FHLB borrowings,  which may result in prepayment  penalties.  If any
association  that fails the QTL test is  controlled by a holding  company,  then
within one year after the failure,  the holding  company must register as a bank
holding  company  and  become  subject  to  all  restrictions  on  bank  holding
companies. See "- Holding Company Regulation."

Community Reinvestment Act

         Under the  Community  Reinvestment  Act  ("CRA"),  every  FDIC  insured
institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with safe and
sound banking  practices to help meet the credit needs of its entire  community,
including  low and moderate  income  neighborhoods.  The CRA does not  establish
specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it
limit an institution's  discretion to develop the types of products and services
that it believes are best suited to its particular  community,  consistent  with
the CRA.  The CRA  requires  the OTS,  in  connection  with the  examination  of
Permanent  Federal,  to assess the  institution's  record of meeting  the credit
needs of its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of
certain  applications,  such as a merger or the  establishment  of a branch,  by
Permanent  Federal.  An  unsatisfactory  rating may be used as the basis for the
denial of an application by the OTS.

         The federal banking agencies,  including the OTS, have recently revised
the CRA  regulations  and  the  methodology  for  determining  an  institution's
compliance with the CRA. Due to the heightened  attention being given to the CRA
in the past few years,  the Bank may be required to devote  additional funds for
investment  and lending in its local  community.  The Bank was  examined for CRA
compliance in September 1995 and received a rating of satisfactory.
<PAGE>
         Transactions with Affiliates. Generally, transactions between a savings
association or its  subsidiaries  and its affiliates are required to be on terms
as  favorable  to  the  association  as  transactions  with  non-affiliates.  In
addition,  certain  of these  transactions,  such as loans to an  affiliate  are
restricted to a percentage of the association's capital.  Affiliates of the Bank
include the Company and any company which is under common control with the Bank.
In addition,  a savings  association  may not lend to any  affiliate  engaged in
activities not  permissible for a bank holding company or acquire the securities
of most affiliates. The Bank's subsidiaries are not deemed affiliates,  however;
the OTS has the  discretion to treat  subsidiaries  of savings  associations  as
affiliates on a case-by-case basis.

         Certain  transactions with directors,  officers or controlling  persons
are also subject to conflict of interest  regulations enforced by the OTS. These
conflict of interest  regulations and other statutes also impose restrictions on
loans to such persons and their  related  interests.  Among other  things,  such
loans must be made on terms  substantially the same as for loans to unaffiliated
individuals.

         Holding Company  Regulation.  The Company is a unitary savings and loan
holding company subject to regulatory oversight by the OTS. As such, the Company
is  required  to  register  and  file  reports  with the OTS and is  subject  to
regulation  and  examination  by the OTS. In addition,  the OTS has  enforcement
authority over the Company and its non-savings  association  subsidiaries  which
also permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit  activities  that are determined to
be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings association.

         As a unitary savings and loan holding company, the Company generally is
not subject to activity restrictions. If the Company acquires control of another
savings association as a separate subsidiary, it would become a multiple savings
and loan  holding  company,  and the  activities  of the  Company and any of its
subsidiaries (other than the Bank or any other SAIF-insured savings association)
would become subject to such  restrictions  unless such other  associations each
qualify as a QTL and were acquired in a supervisory acquisition.

         If the Bank fails the QTL test, the Company must obtain the approval of
the OTS prior to continuing  after such  failure,  directly or through its other
subsidiaries,  any  business  activity  other than those  approved  for multiple
savings and loan holding companies or their  subsidiaries.  In addition,  within
one year of such failure the Company must register as and will become subject to
the restrictions applicable to bank holding companies. The activities authorized
for a bank holding  company are more limited than are the activities  authorized
for a unitary or multiple  savings and loan  holding  company.  See "- Qualified
Thrift Lender Test."
<PAGE>
         The Company must obtain approval from the OTS before acquiring  control
of  any  other  SAIF-insured   association.   Such  acquisitions  are  generally
prohibited  if they  result  in a  multiple  savings  and loan  holding  company
controlling  savings  associations  in  more  than  one  state.   However,  such
interstate  acquisitions are permitted based on specific state  authorization or
in a supervisory acquisition of a failing savings association.

         Federal Securities Law. The stock of the Company is registered with the
SEC under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
The Company is subject to the information,  proxy solicitation,  insider trading
restrictions and other requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act.

         Company stock held by persons who are affiliates  (generally  officers,
directors and principal  stockholders)  of the Holding Company may not be resold
without   registration   or  unless  sold  in  accordance  with  certain  resale
restrictions.   If  the  Company  meets  specified  current  public  information
requirements,  each  affiliate  of the  Company  is able  to sell in the  public
market,  without  registration,  a limited  number of shares in any  three-month
period.

         Federal  Reserve  System.   The  Federal  Reserve  Board  requires  all
depository  institutions to maintain  non-interest bearing reserves at specified
levels against their transaction accounts (primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW
checking  accounts).  At March 31, 1997,  the Bank was in compliance  with these
reserve  requirements.  The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements
imposed  by  the  Federal  Reserve  Board  may  be  used  to  satisfy  liquidity
requirements that may be imposed by the OTS. See "- Liquidity."

         Savings  associations are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve
Bank  "discount   window,"  but  Federal  Reserve  Board   regulations   require
associations to exhaust other reasonable alternative sources of funds, including
FHLB borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank.

         Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  System.  The Bank is a member of the FHLB of
Indianapolis,   which  is  one  of  12  regional  FHLBs  ("FHLB  System"),  that
administers  the home financing  credit function of savings  associations.  Each
FHLB  serves as a reserve or central  bank for its members  within its  assigned
region.  It  is  funded  primarily  from  proceeds  derived  from  the  sale  of
consolidated  obligations  of the FHLB System.  It makes loans to members (i.e.,
advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by the board of
directors of the FHLB which are subject to the  regulation  and oversight of the
Federal  Housing  Finance  Board.  All advances from the FHLB are required to be
fully secured by  sufficient  collateral as determined by the FHLB. In addition,
all  long-term  advances  are  required to provide  funds for  residential  home
financing.

         As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the
FHLB of  Indianapolis.  At March 31,  1997,  the Bank had $5.2  million  in FHLB
stock,  which was in compliance with this  requirement.  In past years, the Bank
has received substantial  dividends on its FHLB stock. Over the past five fiscal
years,  such  dividends have averaged 8.01% and were 7.77% for fiscal year ended
March 31, 1997.  Under  federal law the FHLBs are required to provide  funds for
the resolution of troubled  savings  associations  and to contribute to low- and
moderately priced housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on
advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income  housing
projects.  These  contributions  have  affected  adversely  the  level  of  FHLB
<PAGE>
dividends  paid and could continue to do so in the future.  These  contributions
could also have an adverse  effect on the value of FHLB stock in the  future.  A
reduction  in  value  of  Permanent   Federal's  FHLB  stock  may  result  in  a
corresponding  reduction in  Permanent  Federal's  capital.  For the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1997,  dividends  paid by the FHLB of  Indianapolis  to the Bank
totaled  $383,691,  which  constitute  a  $166,039  increase  over the amount of
dividends received in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.

Federal and State Taxation

         Savings  associations  such as the Bank that meet certain  definitional
tests relating to the composition of assets and other  conditions  prescribed by
the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),  had been permitted
to establish  reserves for bad debts and to make annual additions  thereto which
may,  within  specified  formula  limits,  be taken as a deduction  in computing
taxable  income  for  federal  income tax  purposes.  The amount of the bad debt
reserve  deduction for  "non-qualifying  loans" is computed under the experience
method.  The  amount of the bad debt  reserve  deduction  for  "qualifying  real
property  loans"  (generally  loans  secured by  improved  real  estate)  may be
computed under either the experience  method or the percentage of taxable income
method (based on an annual election).

         Under the  experience  method,  the bad debt  reserve  deduction  is an
amount  determined  under a formula based  generally upon the bad debts actually
sustained by the savings association over a period of years.

         The  percentage of specially  computed  taxable  income that is used to
compute a savings  association's bad debt reserve deduction under the percentage
of taxable  income  method  (the  "percentage  bad debt  deduction")  is 8%. The
percentage bad debt  deduction thus computed is reduced by the amount  permitted
as a  deduction  for  non-qualifying  loans  under the  experience  method.  The
availability  of the  percentage  of taxable  income method  permits  qualifying
savings  associations to be taxed at a lower  effective  federal income tax rate
than that applicable to corporations generally (approximately 31.3% assuming the
maximum percentage bad debt deduction).

         If an  association's  specified  assets  (generally,  loans  secured by
residential  real  estate  or  deposits,  educational  loans,  cash and  certain
government  obligations)  constitute  less  than 60% of its  total  assets,  the
association may not deduct any addition to a bad debt reserve and generally must
include existing  reserves in income over a four-year  period. No representation
can be made as to whether the Bank will meet the 60% test for subsequent taxable
years.

         Under the percentage of taxable income method,  the percentage bad debt
deduction  cannot  exceed the amount  necessary  to increase  the balance in the
reserve for  "qualifying  real property  loans" to an amount equal to 6% of such
loans  outstanding  at the end of the  taxable  year or the  greater  of (i) the
amount  deductible  under the  experience  method or (ii) the amount  which when
added to the bad debt deduction for "non-qualifying  loans" equals the amount by
which 12% of the amount comprising  savings accounts at year-end exceeds the sum
of surplus,  undivided  profits and reserves at the  beginning  of the year.  At
March 31, 1997, the 6% and 12%  limitations  did not restrict the percentage bad
debt deduction  available to the Bank. It is not expected that these limitations
would be a limiting factor in the foreseeable future.
<PAGE>
         In August 1996, legislation was enacted that repeals the reserve method
of accounting  (including  the percentage of taxable income method) used by many
thrifts,  including  the Bank,  to calculate  their bad debt reserve for federal
income tax purposes.  As a result, large thrifts such as the Bank must recapture
that  portion of the reserve  that exceeds the amount that could have been taken
under the specific  charge-off  method for post-1987 tax years.  The legislation
also requires  thrifts to account for bad debts for federal  income tax purposes
on the same basis as commercial banks for tax years beginning after December 31,
1995. The recapture will occur over a six-year period, the commencement of which
will be delayed until the first taxable year beginning  after December 31, 1997,
provided the institution meets certain  residential  lending  requirements.  The
management  of the company  does not believe  that the  legislation  will have a
material impact on the Company or the Bank.

         In addition to the regular income tax, corporations,  including savings
associations  such as the Bank,  generally  are  subject  to a minimum  tax.  An
alternative  minimum tax is imposed at a minimum tax rate of 20% on  alternative
minimum  taxable  income,  which is the sum of a  corporation's  regular taxable
income (with certain  adjustments) and tax preference  items, less any available
exemption.  The alternative  minimum tax is imposed to the extent it exceeds the
corporation's  regular  income tax, and net operating  losses can offset no more
than 90% of alternative  minimum  taxable  income.  For taxable years  beginning
after 1986 and before 1996, corporations, including savings associations such as
the Bank, are also subject to an environmental  tax equal to 0.12% of the excess
of alternative  minimum taxable income for the taxable year (determined  without
regard to net operating losses and the deduction for the environmental tax) over
$2 million.

         To the extent earnings appropriated to a savings association's bad debt
reserves for  "qualifying  real property  loans" and deducted for federal income
tax purposes  exceed the allowable  amount of such reserves  computed  under the
experience method and to the extent of the association's  supplemental  reserves
for  losses on loans  ("Excess"),  such  Excess  may not,  without  adverse  tax
consequences,   be  utilized  for  the  payment  of  cash   dividends  or  other
distributions   to  a  shareholder   (including   distributions  on  redemption,
dissolution or  liquidation) or for any other purpose (except to absorb bad debt
losses).  As of March 31,  1997,  the  Bank's  Excess for tax  purposes  totaled
approximately $6.0 million.

         The  Bank and its  subsidiary  file  consolidated  federal  income  tax
returns on a fiscal  year basis  using the  accrual  method of  accounting.  The
Company  files  consolidated  federal  income tax returns  with the Bank and its
subsidiary. Savings associations, such as the Bank, that file federal income tax
returns as part of a  consolidated  group are  required by  applicable  Treasury
regulations  to reduce  their  taxable  income for  purposes  of  computing  the
percentage  bad debt  deduction  for losses  attributable  to  activities of the
non-savings  association members of the consolidated group that are functionally
related to the activities of the savings association member.

         The Bank and its  consolidated  subsidiary have not been audited by the
IRS with  respect to  consolidated  federal  income tax returns  during the past
seven years. In the opinion of management, any examination of still open returns
(including returns of subsidiaries and predecessors of, or entities merged into,
the Bank) would not result in a deficiency  which could have a material  adverse
effect on the  financial  condition,  results of  operations or liquidity of the
Bank and its consolidated subsidiary.
<PAGE>
         Change  in  Accounting   for  Income  Taxes.   Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 109, was issued by the Financial  Accounting Standards
Board  ("FASB") in early 1992 and is required for fiscal years  beginning  after
December  15, 1992.  FASB No. 109 requires a change from the deferred  method to
the asset and liability  method of accounting for income taxes.  Under the asset
and  liability  method,  deferred  income  taxes  are  recognized  for  the  tax
consequences of "temporary  differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates
applicable  to future  years to  differences  between  the  financial  statement
carrying  amounts and the tax bases of existing  assets and  liabilities.  Under
SFAS  No.  109,  the  effect  on  deferred  taxes of a  change  in tax  rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment  date.  Under the
deferred method, deferred taxes were recognized using the tax rate applicable to
the year of the calculation and were not adjusted for subsequent  changes in tax
rates.

         In December 1990, the FASB issued SFAS No. 106, "Employers"  Accounting
for  Post-retirement  Benefits Other Than  Pensions." This statement will change
the current practice of accounting for  postretirement  benefits on a cash basis
by requiring  accrual,  during the years that the employee renders the necessary
service,  of the expected cost of providing  those benefits to an employee.  The
Holding  Company  and the Bank  were  required  to  adopt  this  new  method  of
accounting in fiscal 1993. The statement allows for two transition methods.  The
Holding  Company  and the Bank  adopted  this  standard  when  required  and the
adoption of SFAS No. 106 had no material  effect on the  financial  position and
results of operations of either entity.

         Indiana  Taxation.   Indiana  imposes  a  franchise  tax  on  financial
institutions  at the  rate of 8.5%  of  modified  federal  taxable  income.  The
modifications  to federal  taxable  income  include  an  add-back  of  municipal
interest and state and local property taxes and bad debt  deductions are limited
to actual net  charge-offs.  The  franchise  tax is imposed on a combined  basis
including the Company, the Bank and its subsidiary.

         Delaware  Taxation.  As a  Delaware  holding  company,  the  Company is
exempted  from Delaware  corporate  income tax but is required to file an annual
report with and pay an annual fee to the State of Delaware.  The Company is also
subject to an annual franchise tax imposed by the State of Delaware.

LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS


To Our Stockholders:

         It is a pleasure to present the results of the financial performance of
Permanent  Bancorp,  Inc. for the year ended March 31, 1997.  This completes our
third  full  year as a public  company  and was our  best  year as  measured  by
earnings.

         The Company  recorded a 90% increase in earnings during the fiscal year
before a one-time industry wide assessment by the Savings Association  Insurance
Fund of the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation.  Even with this assessment
earnings were improved from the previous year.

         To further enhance  shareholder  value the Company completed a 5% stock
buyback  program in January and  announced  another 5% buyback  program to begin
April 1, 1997. In fiscal 1997, a cash  dividend was paid that  represented a 50%
increase over the previous year.

         During the year,  our subsidiary  bank  announced  plans to acquire the
Newburgh  branch  of NBD Bank to  expand  its  franchise  and  better  serve the
residents of Newburgh.

         The Bank has developed a plan to provide a customer  interactive  voice
response  system and a check imaging  system.  These  technological  changes are
expected to be  implemented  early in our next  fiscal year and are  expected to
enhance service to customers and reduce operational costs.

         The Bank announced the formation of a commercial  lending department in
January  1997,  when it  added  Seth P.  Allen  as  Senior  Vice  President  and
Commercial  Lending  Officer.  Mr.  Allen's  immediate  duties will  include the
development  of a commercial  loan  portfolio as well as overseeing the consumer
lending  activities.  Mr.  Allen  comes  to us with  many  years  of  successful
experience in the commercial banking industry.

         This past year, the Board of Directors elected two new directors to its
Board.  Mr. James A. McCarty,  Jr.,  President of Colonial Garden Center,  Inc.,
joined  the  Board in  August  1996 and Mr.  Murray  J.  Brown,  Executive  Vice
President  and Chief  Operating  Officer of Permanent  Bancorp,  Inc. and of our
subsidiary  bank, was elected in March 1997. Mr. McCarty and Mr. Brown were also
elected directors of the subsidiary bank.

         We wish to  acknowledge  the retirement of two officers from their long
time employment with our subsidiary bank. Mrs. Gail Hendrix completed her career
as Vice  President and Manager of our West Franklin  Street  Office.  Mr. Joseph
Stofleth  completed  his career as Asst.  Vice  President and Manager of our Ft.
Branch Office.

         Southwestern  Indiana  continues its industrial  expansion with the new
Toyota Motor  Manufacturing plant under construction and the ground breaking for
AK Steel  Corporation's  steel finishing plant.  These two industries along with
their support suppliers will help assure economic expansion in our core market.

         We appreciate and depend on the continued  support of our customers and
shareholders. We look forward to another year of earnings improvement and in the
growth in shareholder value that will come along with these results.

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


General

         At March 31, 1997, Permanent Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") successfully
completed  its third year as a publicly  owned  entity.  All  references  to the
Company  before  March  31,  1994,  refer  to the  operations  of the  Company's
subsidiary,  Permanent Federal Savings Bank ("Permanent Federal" or the "Bank").
The principal  business of the Company consists of attracting  deposits from the
general  public and using these  deposits,  together with  borrowings  and other
funds, primarily to originate one- to four-family  residential mortgage loans as
well as multi-family  and commercial real estate,  automobile and other consumer
loans. The Company also originates  construction and commercial  business loans.
The Company also invests in mortgage-backed and other investment securities. The
Company's  results of operations  are  primarily  dependent on its interest rate
spread,  which  is the  difference  ("spread")  between  the  average  yield  on
interest-earning   assets,  such  as  loans,   mortgage-backed   securities  and
investment securities and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities,
such as deposits and other  borrowings.  The interest rate spread is affected by
regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan
demand and deposit flows.  In addition to credit risk, the Company is subject to
interest  rate risk to the degree  that its  interest-earning  assets  mature or
reprice at different times, or on a different basis,  than its  interest-bearing
liabilities.

         The  Company's  results of  operations  also depend  upon,  among other
things,  the level of fee  income,  gains on the sale of loans,  provisions  for
possible  loan losses,  income  derived from  subsidiary  activities,  operating
expenses and income taxes. The Company's operating expenses  principally consist
of employee  compensation  and benefits,  occupancy  expenses,  federal  deposit
insurance premiums and other general and administrative expenses.

         Permanent  Federal is  significantly  affected by  prevailing  economic
conditions,  including  federal  monetary  and  fiscal  policies,  as well as by
federal regulation of financial institutions. Deposit balances are influenced by
a number  of  factors,  including  interest  rates  paid on  competing  personal
investments   and  the  level  of  personal   income  and  savings   within  the
institution's  market area. In addition,  deposit balances are influenced by the
perceptions  of customers  regarding  the  stability of the  financial  services
industry. Management expects to retain a significant portion of existing deposit
balances by offering  competitive rates on such deposits.  Permanent Federal has
adopted a strategy of employing  Federal Home Loan Bank of  Indianapolis  (FHLB)
advances to  supplement  deposits.  FHLB  advances  are  expected to augment the
liquidity  necessary to fund lending  operations and  investment  opportunities.
Lending  activities  are  influenced  by the  demand  for  housing  as  well  as
competition  from other lending  institutions.  The primary sources of funds for
lending activities  include deposits,  loan payments,  borrowings,  gains on the
sale of loans and funds provided from operations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

March 31, 1997 Compared to March 31, 1996

         The Company's  total assets at March 31, 1997 were $423.7  million,  an
increase of $27.8 million,  or 7.0% from $395.9 million at March 31, 1996. Total
investment and  mortgage-backed  securities  amounted to $186.4 million at March
31, 1997, an increase of $19.1  million,  or 11.4% from $167.3  million at March
31, 1996. Net loans increased by $3.3 million or 1.6% to $210.2 million at March
31, 1997 compared to $206.9 million at March 31, 1996.  Total  liabilities  were
$384.6 million at March 31, 1997, up $30.2 million,  or 8.5% from $354.4 million
at March 31, 1996.  Deposits at $280.8 million were up $0.8 million or 0.3% from
$280.0  million at March 31, 1996.  FHLB advances  increased by $30.2 million to
$98.5  million at March 31,  1997 from $68.3  million at March 31,  1996.  Tota1
stockholders'  equity  decreased by $2.4  million to $39.1  million at March 31,
1997.  Treasury  stock  in the  amount  of $2.2  million  acquired  through  the
Company's stock repurchases  exceeded increases in retained earnings and benefit
program  awards.  Stockholder's  equity was also  decreased  by $1.5  million in
unrealized  changes in  securities  available  for sale and by $609,000  paid in
dividends.

                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>
         The  availability  of  reasonably  priced FHLB  advances  provided  the
opportunity  for the  Company to borrow  funds and invest the  proceeds  in U.S.
Government Agency and mortgage- backed securities earning higher rates than paid
on the  advances.  The growth in both loans and deposits was  indicative  of the
strength of the local economy. One to four family first mortgage loans increased
by $8.5 million,  consumer and auto loans increased by $1.4 million.  Commercial
and  multi-family  real  estate  loans  decreased  by  $4.5  million,  land  and
construction  loans  decreased  by  $811,000  and  commercial  paper and bankers
acceptances  decreased by $1.3 million.  The allowance for loan losses decreased
by $142,000. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended March 31, 1997 and March 31,
1996.

         General.  The Company's  net income of $1.30 million  during the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1997 was slightly  improved from the $1.25  million  earned
during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.  The earnings  improvement  occured
despite the payment of a special  assessment  in the amount of $1.77  million to
recapitalize  the  Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund  (SAIF) of the  Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The after tax impact of this assessment on
earnings was $1.07 million.

         Net Interest  Income.  The Company's net interest  income  increased by
$1.5 million to $11.0 million for the year ended March 31, 1997 compared to $9.5
million  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  1996.  The  increase  was  primarily
attributable to an increase in interest earning assets and an inprovement in the
interest rate spread (the difference between the rate earned on interest earning
assets and the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities).

         Interest  Income.  Interest  income for the year ended  March 31,  1997
increased  $3.8 million to $29.7 million  compared to $25.9 million for the same
period in 1996.  Interest income was higher for all major  categories  including
increased  interest income on loans of $458,000,  mortgage-backed  securities of
$341,000,  and investment  securities of $2,851,000.  Due to increased holdings,
dividends on Federal  Home Loan Bank stock were also up by  $166,000.  Income on
interest bearing deposits was down by a modest $19,000. Interest income on loans
increased as a result of growth in average  loans  outstanding  of $ 3.9 million
for the year ended March 31, 1997. The weighted average yield on loans was 8.02%
during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, compared to 8.13% during the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1996.  Interest  income on  mortgage-backed  and investment
securities also increased primarily as a result of higher outstanding  balances.
Mortgage-backed  securities  averaged $91.4 million during fiscal 1997, compared
to $87.6 million  during fiscal 1996.  Securities  and FHLB stock averaged $95.2
million  during fiscal 1997,  compared to $60.3 million  during fiscal 1996. The
weighted average yields on mortgage-backed and investment  securities were 6.67%
and 7.02%  respectively  during fiscal 1997,  compared to 6.58% and 6.09% during
fiscal 1996.
<PAGE>
         Interest  Expense.  Interest expense increased by $2.3 million to $18.7
million  during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997,  compared to $16.4 million
during fiscal 1996.  Interest paid on deposits  decreased by $109,000,  due to a
decrease  in the average  rate paid to 4.84% from 4.93%,  which more than offset
the decrease of $2.8 million in average  deposit  balances.  Interest on Federal
Home  Loan  Bank  advances   increased  by  $2.5  million  as  average  balances
outstanding  increased by $46.3  million.  The average rate paid on advances was
5.74% during fiscal 1997, compared to 6.17% during fiscal year 1996.

         Provision for Loan Losses.  The Bank establishes its provision for loan
losses and  evaluates  the  adequacy of its  allowance  for loan losses based on
management's  evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan  portfolio and changes
in the nature and volume of its loan activity. Such evaluation, which includes a
review of all loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured,
considers,  among other  matters,  the  estimated  fair value of the  underlying
collateral,   economic   conditions,   historical  loan  loss  experience,   the
composition of its loan portfolio and other factors that warrant


                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>
recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance.  This  methodology
is  performed  on a monthly  basis and is designed  to ensure that all  relevant
matters  affecting  loan  collectibility  will  consistently  be identified in a
detailed  loan review and that the outcome of the review will be considered in a
disciplined  manner by management in determining the necessary  reserves and the
provision  for loan losses.  The amounts  actually  reported in each period will
vary with the outcome of this detailed review.

         During the year ended March 31, 1997, the Company  recorded a provision
for loan  losses of $113,000  compared to $207,000  for the year ended March 31,
1996.  During the period  ended  March 31,  1997 the bank  reduced the loan loss
provision  by  $232,000  relating  to the  reversal  of  specific  reserves on a
previously  impaired loan. This decrease in the provision is partially offset by
increases of $119,000  reflecting  increased  charge offs on consumer loans. Net
recoveries  amounted to $225,000  during fiscal 1997 compared to $62,000  during
fiscal 1996. Asset quality, as measured by non-performing  loans to total loans,
improved  for the year ended March 31,  1997  compared to the same period a year
ago. The ratios of non-performing assets to total assets were 1.11% at March 31,
1997 and 1.75% at March 31, 1996  respectively.  The allowance for losses,  as a
ratio to total  loans,  was 1.00 % at March 31, 1997  compared to 1.07% at March
31, 1996. It is management's  belief that the allowance for loan losses reflects
an  adequate  reserve  against  potential  loss on the  loan  portfolio.  Future
additions  to the  Company's  allowance  for loan  losses  and any change in the
related ratio to non-performing  loans are dependent upon the performance of the
Company's loan portfolio, the economy, inflation,  changes in real estate values
and interest rates as well as the view of regulatory authorities toward adequate
reserve levels. See also "Asset Quality."

         Other Income.  Other income increased by $187,000 to $1,624,000  during
the fiscal year ended March 31,  1997.  Service  charges  increased by $213,000,
profit on sale of loans by $5,000,  and gains on real  estate  owned by $10,000.
Commissions on investment and insurance products decreased by $20,000. A loss of
$56,000 was realized on the sale of investment  and  mortgage-backed  securities
compared to a loss of $6,000  during  fiscal 1996.  Earnings  from other sources
were up by $29,000 during fiscal 1997.
 
         Other Expense.  The Company's other expenses  increased $1.3 million to
$10.2  million for the year ended March 31,  1997,  compared to $8.9 million for
the year  ended  March 31,  1996,  primarily  because of the  special  FDIC-SAIF
special  assessment in the amount of $1.8 million  mentioned under the "general"
heading above. Salaries and employee benefits were $133,000 or 3.0% lower during
fiscal  1997 than  during  fiscal  1996,  while  most  other  expenses  remained
relatively stable.

         Income Tax Provision. The Company's income tax provision increased from
$661,000  for the year ended  March 31,  1996 to  $1,003,000  for the year ended
March 31,  1997.  The  increase  was  primarily  because the Company was able to
recognize a greater loan loss  deduction  for tax purposes due to growth in loan
balances during fiscal 1996.
<PAGE>
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended March 31, 1996 and March 31,
1995.

         General.  The Company's  net income of $1.25 million  during the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1996 was slightly  improved from the $1.24  million  earned
during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995.

         During the later part of the fiscal  year  ended  March 31,  1996,  the
Company retained a consulting firm to assist management in performing a detailed
study of profit improvement  opportunities.  The study  successfully  identified
areas  where  savings  may be  realized  through  technological  and  work  flow
improvements, permitting a reduction in staff, and where non-interest income can
be improved while remaining competitive in pricing the Company's services.  Many
of the  study's  recommendations  were  implemented  in  fiscal  1997.  Staffing
reductions were achieved through normal attrition.

                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>
         Net Interest  Income.  The Company's net interest  income  increased by
$185,000 to $9.5  million  for the year ended  March 31,  1996  compared to $9.4
million  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  1995.  The  increase  was  partially
attributable to an increase in interest earning assets funded by lower cost FHLB
advances.  The increase somewhat offset the effects of the Company's  repurchase
of common stock which used otherwise  investable assets to reduce  stockholder's
equity.

         Interest  Income.  Interest  income for the year ended  March 31,  1996
increased  $3.2 million to $25.9 million  compared to $22.7 million for the same
period in 1995.  Interest income was higher for all major  categories  including
increased  interest income on loans of $992,000,  mortgage-backed  securities of
$1,307,000,  investment securities of $810,000, and interest bearing deposits of
$25,000.  Due to increased  holdings,  dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank stock
were also up by $52,000.  Interest  income on loans  increased  as a result of a
growth in average loan  outstanding of $6.3 million for the year ended March 31,
1996. The weighted average yield on loans was 8.13% during the fiscal year ended
March 31,  1996,  compared to 7.88% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995.
Interest  income on  mortgage-backed  and investment  securities  also increased
primarily as a result of higher outstanding balances. Mortgage-backed securities
averaged  $87.6  million  during fiscal 1996,  compared to $78.1 million  during
fiscal 1995.  Securities  and FHLB stock  averaged  $60.2 million  during fiscal
1996,  compared to $55.3 million during fiscal 1995. The weighted average yields
on mortgage-backed  and investment  securities were 6.58% and 6.09% respectively
during fiscal 1996, compared to 5.71% and 5.07% during fiscal 1995.
 
         Interest  Expense.  Interest expense increased by $3.0 million to $16.4
million  during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996,  compared to $13.4 million
during fiscal 1995. Interest paid on deposits increased by $1.4 million,  due to
an increase in the average rate paid to 4.93% from 4.34%, which more than offset
the decrease of $4.6 million in average  deposit  balances.  Interest on Federal
Home  Loan  Bank  advances   increased  by  $1.6  million  as  average  balances
outstanding  increased by $26.0  million.  The average rate paid on advances was
6.17% during fiscal 1996, compared to 6.31% during fiscal year,1995.

         Provision for Loan Losses.  The Bank establishes its provision for loan
losses and  evaluates  the  adequacy of its  allowance  for loan losses based on
management's  evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan  portfolio and changes
in the nature and volume of its loan activity. Such evaluation, which includes a
review of all loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured,
considers,  among other  matters,  the  estimated  fair value of the  underlying
collateral,   economic   conditions,   historical  loan  loss  experience,   the
composition of its loan portfolio and other factors that warrant  recognition in
providing for an adequate loan loss allowance.  This methodology is performed on
a monthly  basis and is designed to ensure that all relevant  matters  affecting
loan  collectibility  will  consistently be identified in a detailed loan review
and that the outcome of the review will be considered in a disciplined manner by
management  in  determining  the  necessary  reserves and the provision for loan
losses.  The amounts actually reported in each period will vary with the outcome
of this detailed review.

         During the year ended March 31, 1996, the Company  recorded a provision
for loan  losses of $207,000  compared to $410,000  for the year ended March 31,
1995. The decreased loss provision  reflects the improved  charge off experience
during  fiscal  1996.  Net charge offs  amounted to $62,000  during  fiscal 1996
compared  to  $427,000  during  fiscal  1995.  Asset  quality,  as  measured  by
non-performing loans to total loans,  improved for the year ended March 31, 1996
<PAGE>
compared to the same period a year ago. The ratios of  non-performing  assets to
total  assets  were  1.75%  at March  31,  1996 and  2.43%  at  March  31,  1995
respectively.  The allowance for losses, as a ratio to total loans, was 1.07% at
March 31, 1996  compared to 1.06% at March 31, 1995. It is  management's  belief
that  the  allowance  for loan  losses  reflects  an  adequate  reserve  against
potential  loss  on the  loan  portfolio.  Future  additions  to  the  Company's
allowance for loan losses and any change in the related ratio to  non-performing
loans are dependent upon the  performance of the Company's loan  portfolio,  the
economy, inflation,  changes in real estate values and interest rates as well as
the view of regulatory  authorities  toward adequate  reserve  levels.  See also
"Asset Quality."

<PAGE>
         Other Income.  Other income decreased by $256,000 to $1,437,000  during
the fiscal year ended  March 31,  1996.  Service  charges  increased  by $8,000,
profit on sale of loans by $34,000 and  commissions  on investment and insurance
products by  $77,000.  Real estate  owned gains and  recoveries  net of expenses
produced a net benefit of $6,000  during  fiscal 1996,  compared to a benefit of
$315,000  during fiscal 1995 when greater  non-recurring  gains on sales of real
estate  owned  were  achieved.  A loss of  $6,000  was  realized  on the sale of
investment and  mortgage-backed  securities  compared to a gain of $5,000 during
fiscal 1995.  Earnings  from other  sources were down by $55,000  during  fiscal
1996.
 
         Other Expense.  The Company's other expenses increased $340,000 to $8.9
million for the year ended March 31, 1996, compared to $8.5 million for the year
ended March 31, 1995. Consultant and management fees were $168,000 higher during
fiscal year 1996, primarily because of the profit improvement study described in
this section under the "General"  heading.  Salaries and employee  benefits were
$30,000 or 0.7% higher during fiscal 1996 than during fiscal 1995.
 
         Income Tax Provision. The Company's income tax provision decreased from
$875,000  for the year ended March 31, 1995 to $661,000 for the year ended March
31, 1996. The decrease was primarily because the Company was able to recognize a
greater loan loss deduction for tax purposes due to growth in loan balances.

         Average  Balance  Sheet.  The following  table presents for the periods
indicated the average balance of  interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing
liabilities,  the amount of interest  income and the interest  expense,  and the
average  yield on assets and the average  cost of  liabilities.  Such yields and
costs are derived by dividing  interest income or expense by the average balance
of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. No tax equivalent
adjustments  were made.  All  average  balances  are monthly  average  balances.
Non-accruing  loans  have been  included  in the table as loans  carrying a zero
yield.

         Rate/Volume Analysis.  The following table presents the extent to which
changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of  interest-earning  assets
and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and
interest   expense   during  the  years   indicated.   For  each   category   of
interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing   liabilities,   information  is
provided for changes  attributable  to (i) changes in volume  (i.e.,  changes in
volume multiplied by prior rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate
multiplied by prior volume).  Changes  attributable to both rate and volume have
been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to
rate.

Asset Quality

         In  accordance  with the  Company's  classification  of assets  policy,
management  evaluates the loan and investment  portfolios each month to identify
substandard  assets  that may  contain  the  potential  for loss.  In  addition,
management evaluates the adequacy of its allowance for possible loan losses.

         Non-Performing  Assets.  The following table sets forth the amounts and
categories of non-performing assets in the Bank's loan portfolio.  For the years
presented,  the Bank had no accruing loans  delinquent  more than 90 days.  Real
estate owned includes loans classified as in-substance foreclosures and property
acquired in  settlement  of  foreclosed  loans which are carried at the lower of
cost or estimated fair value less estimated cost to sell.

         At  March  31,  1997  the Bank  had  four  non-performing  assets  with
outstanding balances in excess of $100,000.

         Non-accruing  Loans. As of March 31, 1997, the Bank had $2.5 million in
book value of non-accruing  loans compared to $4.7 million as of March 31, 1996.
For the year ended March 31, 1997,  gross interest  income which would have been
recorded had the Bank's non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their
original  terms  amounted to $241,000.  The amount that was included in interest
income on such loans was actually $105,000 for the year ended March 31, 1997.

         Real Estate Owned.  At March 31, 1997, the Bank's real estate  acquired
through foreclosure totaled $41,000.

         Other Loans of Concern.  In addition to the  non-performing  assets set
forth in the table above,  as of March 31, 1997,  there was also an aggregate of
$2.6 million in net book value of loans ($2.4  million  secured by single family
residences,  $82,000  secured by  non-redsidential  property,  and  $160,000  of
secured and  unsecured  consumer  loans)  compared to $4.2 million for the prior
year, with respect to which known information about the possible credit problems
of the borrowers have caused  management to have doubts as to the ability of the
borrowers to comply with present  loan  repayment  terms and which may result in
the future inclusion of such items in the non-performing asset category.

Asset/Liability Management

         The  measurement and analysis of the exposure of the Bank to changes in
the interest rate environment is referred to as asset/liability  management. One
method used to analyze the Bank's sensitivity to changes in interest rates is to
measure the difference between the amount of  interest-earning  assets which are
anticipated  to mature or reprice  within a given  period of time as compared to
the  amount of  interest-bearing  liabilities  which are  expected  to mature or
reprice  within the same period.  This  difference is known as the interest rate
sensitivity "gap." A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate
sensitive assets anticipated to reprice or mature exceeds the amount of interest
rate sensitive liabilities anticipated to reprice or mature in a given period. A
gap  is  considered   negative  when  the  amount  of  interest  rate  sensitive
liabilities anticipated to reprice or mature exceeds the amount of interest rate
sensitive assets anticipated to reprice or mature in a given period.

         At March 31, 1997,  the Company's  total  interest-earning  liabilities
maturing or repricing  within one year exceeded  total  interest-bearing  assets
maturing  or  repricing  in the same  period by $66.4  million,  representing  a
negative  cumulative  one-year gap ratio of 15.8% of total  assets.  The Company
relies  on  certain  assumptions,   such  as  the  amount  and  timing  of  loan
prepayments,  among others,  in the measurement of the interest rate sensitivity
gap.  In  light  of  the  Company's  negative  cumulative  one-year  gap  ratio,
management believes that an increase in interest rates will adversely effect its
net interest income.

         The Company focuses lending efforts toward the origination and purchase
of  competitively  priced  adjustable-rate  loan  products and  fixed-rate  loan
products with  relatively  short terms to maturity,  generally  fifteen years or
less.  This allows the  Company to  maintain a portfolio  of loans which will be
sensitive to changes in the level of interest rates while providing a reasonable
spread to the cost of liabilities used to fund the loans.

         The effect of these  assumptions  is to quantify  the dollar  amount of
items that are  interest-sensitive  and which can be repriced within each of the
periods  specified.  Such repricing can occur in one of three ways: (i) the rate
of interest to be paid on an asset or liability may adjust  periodically  on the
basis of an interest rate index,  (ii) an asset or liability  such as a mortgage
loan may amortize,  permitting reinvestment of cash flows at the then-prevailing
interest  rate,  or (iii) an asset or  liability  may mature,  at which time the
proceeds can be reinvested at the current market rates.
 
         The  following  table sets forth the interest rate  sensitivity  of the
Company's  assets  and  liabilities  at  March  31,  1997  on the  basis  of the
above-described assumptions, and sets forth the repricing dates of the Company's
interest-earning  assets and interest-bearing  liabilities at March 31, 1997 and
the  Company's   interest  rate  sensitivity  "gap"  percentages  at  the  dates
indicated.  Information presented is based on estimated prepayment rates ranging
from 9% to 50% for  loans and  mortgage-backed  securities,  depending  on their
maturity and yield.  Passbook  savings and NOW account balances assume a 17% and
37% annual decay rate,  respectively,  and money market demand  amounts assume a
79% annual decay rate.

</TABLE>
<PAGE>
         In  evaluating  the Company's  exposure to interest rate risk,  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 adjustable-rate mortgages,
have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and
over the life of the asset. 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. For example,  projected passbook,  money
market and NOW account  maturities may also materially  change if interest rates
change.  Finally,  the  ability  of many  borrowers  to  service  their debt may
decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. The Company considers all of
these factors in monitoring its exposure to interest rate risk.

         In addition,  the  foregoing  table does not  necessarily  indicate the
impact of general  interest rate movements on the Company's net interest  income
because the repricing of certain categories of assets and liabilities is subject
to competitive and other pressures  beyond the Company's  control.  As a result,
certain  assets and  liabilities  indicated as maturing or  otherwise  repricing
within a stated period may, in fact, mature or reprice at different times and at
different volumes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The OTS  requires  minimum  levels of liquid  assets.  OTS  regulations
presently require the Bank to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets
(United States Treasury,  federal agency and other investments having maturities
of five years or less)  equal to at least 5.0% of the sum of its  average  daily
balance of net withdrawable  deposit accounts and borrowings payable in one year
or  less.  Such  requirements  may be  changed  from  time to time by the OTS to
reflect changing economic conditions. Such investments are intended to provide a
source of  relatively  liquid funds upon which  Permanent  Federal may rely,  if
necessary,  to fund deposit  withdrawals and other short-term funding needs. The
Bank has historically maintained its liquidity ratio in excess of that required.
At March  31,  1997,  the  amount of the  Bank's  liquidity  was $33.0  million,
resulting in a liquidity ratio of 8.71%.

         Liquidity  management is both a daily and long-term  responsibility  of
management.  The Bank  adjusts  its  investments  in liquid  assets  based  upon
management's  assessment  of (i) expected  loan demand,  (ii)  expected  deposit
flows,  (iii)  yields  available  on  interest-bearing  deposits  and  (iv)  the
objectives of its asset/liability management program. Excess liquidity generally
is  invested  in  interest-bearing   overnight  deposits  and  other  short-term
government and agency obligations. If the Bank requires additional funds, beyond
its internal ability to generate,  it has additional borrowing capacity with the
FHLB and collateral eligible for repurchase agreements.

         The Bank  principally  uses its  liquidity  resources  to meet  ongoing
commitments,  to fund maturing  certificates of deposit and deposit withdrawals,
to invest, to fund existing and future loan commitments,  to maintain liquidity,
and to meet operating expenses.  At March 31, 1997, the Bank had $5.2 million of
loans in  process.  The Bank  anticipates  that it will  have  sufficient  funds
available to meet current loan commitments.
 
         Certificates of deposit  scheduled to mature in a year or less at March
31, 1997 totalled $103.7  million.  Based on historical  experience,  management
believes that a significant  portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank,
however, there can be no assurance that the Bank can retain all such deposits.

         Management  believes  that loan  repayments  and other sources of funds
will be adequate to meet and exceed the Bank's  foreseeable short- and long-term
liquidity needs.

         The primary  investing  activities  of the Bank  include  investing  in
loans, mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury and agency securities and other
investment  securities.  At March 31, 1997,  these assets accounted for 94.8% of
the  Company's  total  assets.  The  purchases  are funded  primarily  from loan
repayments,  maturities of  securities,  FHLB advances and increases in deposits
and net income.

         At March 31, 1997, the Bank had outstanding borrowings of $98.5 million
from the FHLB and had the capacity to borrow up to a total of approximately $163
million.

         Under the Financial Institutions Reform,  Recovery, and Enforcement Act
of  1989  ("FIRREA"),   the  capital  requirements  applicable  to  all  savings
institutions,  including the Bank, have been substantially  increased.  However,
the Bank is in compliance with the fully  phased-in  capital  requirements.  See
Note 11 to the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements for a further  discussion of
regulatory capital requirements.

         Dividends are subject to determination  and declaration by the Board of
Directors,  which will take into account the  Company's  consolidated  financial
condition  and results of  operations  as well as other  relevant  factors.  The
Company's  ability to pay  dividends is subject to federal  regulations  and its
continued compliance with regulatory capital  requirements.  The Company is also
subject to the requirements of Delaware law, which generally limits dividends to
an amount in excess of a company's net assets over paid-in-capital, or, if there
is no such excess, to its net profits for the current and immediately  preceding
fiscal year. See Note 12 to the Consolidated  Financial Statements for a further
discussion.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

         The consolidated financial statements and related data presented herein
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles
which require the measurement of financial position and results of operations in
terms  of  historical  dollars  without  considering  changes  in  the  relative
purchasing power of money over time because of inflation.

         Unlike  most  industrial  companies,  virtually  all of the  assets and
liabilities of Permanent Federal are monetary in nature.  As a result,  interest
rates  have a more  significant  impact on the  Company's  performance  than the
effects of general levels of inflation.  Interest rates do not necessarily  move
in the same  direction  or in the same  magnitude  as the  prices  of goods  and
services.  In the present  interest rate  environment,  the liquidity,  maturity
structure  and  quality  of  Permanent  Federal's  assets  and  liabilities  are
important factors in the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of
    Permanent Bancorp, Inc.:


         We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  statements of financial
condition of Permanent  Bancorp,  Inc. and its subsidiary  (the "Company") as of
March 31,  1997 and 1996 and the  related  consolidated  statements  of  income,
stockholders'  equity and cash  flows for each of the three  years in the period
ended March 31, 1997. These financial  statements are the  responsibility of the
Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on these
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, such consolidated  financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects,  the financial position of Permanent Bancorp, Inc. and
its  subsidiary  as of  March  31,  1997  and  1996,  and the  results  of their
operations  and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
March 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         General - On September  21,  1993,  the Board of Directors of Permanent
Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") adopted a Plan of Conversion to convert from a
mutual  savings bank to a stock  savings bank with the  concurrent  formation of
Permanent Bancorp,  Inc. (the "Company"),  a holding company, to be incorporated
in the State of Delaware  for the purpose of  acquiring  all of the stock of the
Bank.

         Basis of the  Company - Permanent  Bancorp,  Inc. is a savings and loan
holding  company  incorporated  to hold all of the  outstanding  common stock of
Permanent  Federal  Savings  Bank,  a  federally  chartered  savings  bank  with
principal  offices in Evansville,  Indiana and branch  locations in Fort Branch,
Jasper, Newburgh and Oakland City, Indiana.

         Basis of Presentation - The consolidated  financial  statements include
the accounts of Permanent Bancorp,  Inc. its wholly owned subsidiary,  Permanent
Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"),  its wholly owned  subsidiary,  Perma-Service
Corp and its wholly  owned  subsidiary,  Permanent  Family  Insurance,  Inc. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

         Use  of  Estimates  -  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 disclosures 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.
Estimates most  susceptible to change in the near term include the allowance for
loan losses and the fair value of securities.

         Securities  - Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" requires
securities to be classified as held to maturity,  available for sale or trading.
Only those securities  classified as held to maturity,  which management has the
intent  and  ability  to hold to  maturity,  are  reported  at  amortized  cost.
Available for sale securities are reported at fair value with  unrealized  after
tax gains and losses  included in  shareholders'  equity.  The Company  does not
maintain any  securities  classified as trading.  Realized  securities  gains or
losses are  reported  in the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Income.  The cost of
securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

         In November 1995, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board allowed a
one time  reclassification  of securities.  In December  1995,  the  Corporation
reclassified  approximately  $101 million of securities from held to maturity to
available for sale, and recognized an unrealized loss in stockholder's equity of
approximately $77,000.

         Premium and discounts are amortized over the  contractual  lives of the
related  securities  using the level yield  method.  Gains or losses on sales of
these securities are based on the specific identification method.

         Other  Investments - The Bank has an investment in an insurance company
partnership  through  its  subsidiary,  Perma-Service  Corp,  which  underwrites
various types of life and disability insurance and annuity programs.  The Bank's
investment is recorded using the equity method.
<PAGE>
         Loans and Loans Held for Sale - The Bank originates loans for portfolio
investment  or  for  sale  in  the  secondary  market.   During  the  period  of
origination,  loans are designated as held for sale or for investment  purposes.
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value, determined
on an individual loan basis.

                                     - 24 -

         The Company  adopted SFAS 114 and 118,  "Accounting  by  Creditors  for
Impairment  of a Loan and  Income  Recognition  and  Disclosures",  as  amended,
effective  April 1,  1995.  These  statements  require  that  impaired  loans be
measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows  discounted at
the  loan's  effective  interest  rate  or the  fair  value  of  the  underlying
collateral, and specifies alternative methods for recognizing interest income on
loans that are impaired or for which there are credit concerns.  For purposes of
applying  this  standard,  impaired  loans have been  defined as all  nonaccrual
loans.

         In  accordance  with  SFAS  114,  the  Bank  reclassified  to the  loan
portfolio $4,008,158 of loans which were classified as in-substance  foreclosure
at April 1,  1995  but for  which  the  Bank  had not  taken  possession  of the
collateral.  The  Company's  policy for income  recognition  was not affected by
adoption  of the  standard.  The  adoption  of SFAS 114 and 118 did not have any
effect on the total reserve, credit losses, or related provision.

         The  Company  adopted  SFAS 122,  "Accounting  for  Mortgage  Servicing
Rights" (MSRs),  on April 1, 1996. SFAS 122 requires that the Company  recognize
as separate  assets,  rights to service mortgage loans for others that have been
acquired  through either the purchase or  origination  of loans.  An entity that
sells or securitizes  those loans with servicing rights retained should allocate
the total cost of the  mortgage  loans to the MSRs and the loans  based on their
relative fair values.  These costs are initially  capitalized  and  subsequently
amortized in proportion  to, and over the period of estimated net loan servicing
income.

         Additionally,   SFAS  122  requires   that  MSRs  be  reported  on  the
Consolidated  Balance  Sheet at the lower of cost or fair value.  The Company is
required to assess its capitalized MSRs for impairment based upon the fair value
of the rights.  MSRs are  stratified  based upon one or more of the  predominant
risk  characteristics  of underlying loans.  Impairment is recognized  through a
valuation  allowance for each impaired stratum.  The provisions of SFAS 122 were
applied  prospectively  beginning in the fiscal year ended March 31,  1997.  The
ongoing impact of SFAS 122 is dependent upon, among other things,  the volume of
loan  originations,  the general levels of market interest rates and the rate of
estimated loan  prepayments.  Accordingly,  management is unable to predict with
any reasonable  certainty what effect SFAS 122 will have on the Company's future
results  of  operations  or its  financial  conditions.  However,  based  on the
Company's limited mortgage banking activities,  the adoption of SFAS 122 did not
have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company's  financial  position,  results  of
operations or cash flows.

         Loan  Servicing - The Company  services  mortgage  loans for  permanent
investors  under servicing  contracts.  Fees earned for servicing loans owned by
investors  are based on the  outstanding  principal  balances of the loans being
serviced,  and are recognized as income when the related  mortgage  payments are
received. Loan servicing costs are charged to expense as incurred.

         Cash and cash  equivalents  - All  highly  liquid  investments  with an
original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

         Office  Properties  and Equipment are carried at cost less  accumulated
depreciation.  Depreciation  is computed on the  straight-line  and  accelerated
methods over estimated useful lives that range from three to thirty-five years.

         Real  Estate  Owned  includes   property   acquired  in  settlement  of
foreclosed  loans which are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value
less  estimated cost to sell.  When property is acquired,  it is recorded at the
lower  of cost or  estimated  fair  value at the  date of  acquisition,  and any
write-down resulting therefrom is charged against the allowance for loan losses.
Any subsequent  deterioration of the property is charged directly to real estate
owned expense.  Costs relating to the development and improvement of real estate
owned are  capitalized,  whereas costs relating to holding and  maintaining  the
property are charged to expense.

         Goodwill  represents the fair market value of  liabilities  assumed and
cash consideration paid over the fair market value of intangible assets acquired
in the  purchase  of  another  savings  institution  and  the  purchase  of four
different insurance agencies. The intangibles are principally being amortized to
expense  at a  constant  rate  applied to the  anticipated  remaining  principal
balance  of the  long-term  interest-earning  assets  acquired  over a period no
longer than the estimated  remaining  life of those assets ranging from seven to
ten years.  Amortization  expense for the years ended March 31,  1997,  1996 and
1995 was $218,603, $ 223,972 and $248,829 respectively.

         Allowance  for Losses - The balance in the  allowance and the amount in
the annual provision charged to expenses are judgmentally  determined based upon
a number of factors.  The  allowance  is  maintained  by  management  at a level
considered  adequate to cover  possible  losses that are  currently  anticipated
based on past loss experience,  general economic  conditions,  information about
specific borrower situations,  including their financial position and collateral
values,  and other  factors that are  particularly  susceptible  to changes that
could result in material adjustment in the near term. While management endeavors
to use  the  best  information  available  in  making  the  evaluations,  future
allowance   adjustments   may  be  necessary  if  economic   conditions   change
substantially  from  the  assumptions  used in  making  the  evaluations.  While
management  may  periodically  allocate  portions of the  allowance for specific
problem  loan  situations,  the  entire  allowance  is  available  for any  loan
charge-offs which occur.  Increases to the allowance are recorded by a provision
for possible loan losses charged to expense. A loan is charged off by management
as a loss when deemed  uncollectible,  although  collection efforts continue and
future recoveries may occur.

         Uncollected  Interest - The Bank  provides an allowance for the loss of
uncollected  interest  on  loans  which  are more  than 90 days  past  due.  The
allowance is  established  by a charge to interest  income equal to all interest
previously  accrued,  and income is  subsequently  recognized only to the extent
that cash payments are received until, in management's  judgment, the borrower's
ability to make periodic  interest and principal  payments returns to normal, in
which case the loan is returned to accrual status.

         Loan Origination  Fees - Nonrefundable  origination fees net of certain
direct  origination  costs are deferred and recognized,  as a yield  adjustment,
over the life of the  underlying  loan. Any  unamortized  fees on loans sold are
credited to income in the year such loans are sold.

         Federal  Income  Taxes - Deferred  income  tax  assets and  liabilities
reflect  the  impact of  temporary  differences  between  amounts  of assets and
liabilities  for  financial  reporting  purposes  and basis of such  assets  and
liabilities as measured by tax laws and regulations. (See Note 10)

         Changes In  Presentation - Certain  amounts and items  appearing in the
1995 and 1996 financial  statements  have been  reclassified to conform with the
fiscal 1997 presentation.

         Stock-Based Compensation - Effective April 1, 1996, the Company adopted
the provisions of Financial Accounting  Standards Board,  Statement of Financial
Accounting   Standards  No.  123  (SFAS  123),   "Accounting   for   Stock-Based
Compensation."The  accounting  requirements of this pronouncement are applicable
to all new  employee  awards  granted  after the  adoption of SFAS 123.  The new
standard  provides for the  adoption,  at the option of the  Company,  of a fair
value method of accounting for stock options and similar equity instruments. The
Company  has  elected  to  continue  to  account  for  such  transactions  under
Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion No. 25,  "Accounting  for Stock Issued to
Employees."  The adoption of SFAS 123 has no effect on the net income,  earnings
per share or the cash flows of the Company.

         New Accounting  Pronouncements  -SFAS 125 "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities",  is effective
for  transactions  after  December 15, 1996.  SFAS 125 provides  accounting  and
reporting  standards  for  transfers  and  servicing  of  financial  assets  and
extinguishments  of  liabilities.  The adoption of SFAS 125 had no impact on the
financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

         SFAS 128,  "Earnings per Share,"  applies to financial  statements  for
public  companies  for fiscal years  beginning  after  December  15, 1997.  This
statement  establishes  new  accounting  standards for the  calculation of basic
earnings per share as well as diluted  earnings per share.  Management  does not
believe  the  adoption  of this  statement  will have a  material  effect on the
Company's calculation of earnings per share.

         Earnings per Share - Primary and fully  diluted  earnings per share are
based on the weighted  average number of shares  outstanding  during the period,
adjusted for the effect of common  stock  equivalents,  if  dilutive.  The stock
options outstanding are considered common stock equivalents.  Unallocated shares
held by ESOP are not considered to be outstanding  while shares awarded pursuant
to the Recognition and Retention Plan (RRP) are considered to be outstanding.

         The  principal   balance  of  loans  on  nonaccrual   status   totalled
approximately   $2,463,000   and   $4,705,000   at  March  31,  1997  and  1996,
respectively. For the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, gross interest income
which would have been  recorded had the Bank's  non-accruing  loans been current
with their original terms amounted to $240,756 and $447,430,  respectively.  The
amounts included in interest income on such loans were $105,038 and $381,314 for
the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

         The Bank  originates  commercial  real estate  loans.  Such loans had a
carrying  value of  approximately  $12 million and $17 million at March 31, 1997
and 1996,  respectively.  These  loans are  considered  by  management  to be of
somewhat greater risk of uncollectibility than other loans due to the dependency
on income  production.  Of the commercial  real estate loans, $8 million and $12
million are  collateralized  by multi-family  residential  property at March 31,
1997 and 1996,  respectively;  and $4 million, and $5 million by hotel and other
property at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

         The Bank had  commitments to make loans,  approximating  $1,550,000 and
$4,037,000 excluding  undisbursed portions of loans in-process at March 31, 1997
and  1996,  respectively.   Additionally,  the  Bank  had  commitments  to  sell
fixed-rate loans of approximately $104,000 at March 31, 1997, and no commitments
to sell loans, at March 31, 1996.

</TABLE>
         The adjustable rate loans have interest rate adjustment limitations and
are  generally  indexed on a weekly  average yield of U.S.  Treasury  securities
adjusted to a constant  maturity of one year.  Future market  factors may affect
the  correlation of the interest rate adjustment with the rates the Bank pays on
the short-term deposits that have been primarily utilized to fund these loans.

         Aggregate loans to officers and directors totaled $676,855 and $733,107
at March 31, 1997 and March 31,  1996,  respectively.  For the years ended March
31, 1997 and 1996 loans of $124,899 and $157,350,  respectively,  were disbursed
to officers and directors  and  repayments of principal of $181,150 and $194,514
respectively, were received from officers and directors.

         The  amount  of  loans  serviced  for  others  totalled   approximately
$34,298,000 and $37,872,000 at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Servicing
loans for others generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining
escrow amounts,  disbursing payments to investors and foreclosure processing. In
connection  with loans  serviced  for others,  the Bank held  borrower's  escrow
balances  of  approximately  $249,000  and  $278,000 at March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.  The Bank is obligated  to  repurchase  certain  loans sold to and
serviced  for  others  which  become   delinquent  as  defined  by  the  various
agreements.  At March 31,  1997 and 1996,  these  obligations  were  limited  to
approximately $610,000 and $821,000, respectively.

1995 was $100,824, $104,184 and $123,128 respectively.

         At March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Bank's loan portfolio  included certain
loans to customers who were  experiencing  financial  difficulties for which the
Bank agreed to modify the  original  loan terms in a prior  year.  Modifications
included  forgiveness of interest,  reduced interest rates and/or  extensions of
the  loan  term.  The  principal  balance  at March  31,  1997 and 1996 on these
restructured   loans   totalled   approximately   $2,127,700   and   $2,165,400,
respectively. For the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, gross interest income
which would have been  recorded  had the Bank's  modified  loans been current in
accordance with their original terms amounted to $165,000 each year. The amounts
that were included in interest income on such loans were $151,000 during each of
the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.

         The recorded investment in loans considered impaired at March 31, 1997,
under SFAS 114 and 118, was $1,578,914 of which $1,061,876 related to loans with
a specific  valuation  reserve of $27,632 and $517,038  related to loans with no
valuation  reserve.  For the year ended March 31,  1997,  the  average  recorded
investment in impaired  loans was  approximately  $3,002,257.  Cash received for
interest on impaired  loans was  $294,091 and $313,024 for the years ended March
31, 1997 and March 31, 1996.

         As a federally-chartered savings bank, aggregate commercial real estate
loans may not exceed 400% of capital as determined  under the capital  standards
provisions of FIRREA.  This limitation was  approximately  $134 million and $133
million as of March 31, 1997, and 1996, respectively.

         Also, under FIRREA, the loans-to-one  borrower  limitation is generally
15% of unimpaired  capital and surplus which,  for the Bank,  was  approximately
$5.0 million at both March 31, 1997 and 1996.  This is a  substantial  reduction
from the previous loans-to-one borrower limitation. At March 31, 1997 there were
no loans exceeding this  limitation,  however,  aggregate loans of approximately
$7.6  million  made  prior to  FIRREA  to six  related  borrowers  (all  limited
partnerships  with  the same  general  partner)  were in  excess  of the  FIRREA
limitation  at March 31, 1996.  Additional  loans to these  borrowers  have been
curtailed and the existing loans are being reduced through principal  repayment.

        Retained earnings at March 31, 1997 and 1996 includes  approximately $6
million of income that has not been subject to tax because of deductions for bad
debts allowed for Federal  income tax purposes.  Deferred  income taxes have not
been provided on such bad debt  deductions  since the Company does not intend to
use the  accumulated  bad debt deductions for purposes other than to absorb loan
losses.  If, in the future,  this  portion of retained  earnings is used for any
purpose  other  than to absorb  bad debt  losses,  federal  income  taxes may be
imposed on such amounts at the then current corporate income tax rate.

         In August 1996,  the "Small  Business Job  Protection  Act of 1996" was
passed into law.  One  provision of the act repeals the special bad debt reserve
method for thrift institutions currently provided for in Section 593 of the IRC.
The provision  requires thrifts to recapture any reserve  accumulated after 1987
but  forgives  taxes  owed  on  reserves   accumulated  prior  to  1988.  Thrift
institutions  will be given  six  years to  account  for the  recaptured  excess
reserves,  beginning  with  the  first  taxable  year  after  1995,  and will be
permitted to delay the timing of this recapture for one or two years, subject to
whether they meet certain  residential loan test  requirements.  The adoption of
the act  will  have no  impact  on the  Company's  results  of  operations.

 11. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

         The  Bank  is  subject  to  various  regulatory  capital   requirements
administered  by the federal banking  agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements   can  initiate   certain   mandatory   and   possibly   additional
discretionary  actions by regulators  that, if  undertaken,  could have a direct
material  effect  on  the  Corporation's   financial  position  and  results  of
operations.  The regulations  require the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy
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  classification  is also subject to  qualitative
judgments  by the  regulators  about  components,  risk  weightings,  and  other
factors.

         Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation  to ensure  capital
adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios as set forth in
the following  tables of tangible,  core and total  risk-based  capital.  Prompt
Corrective  Action  provisions   contained  in  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation  Improvement  Act of  1991  (FDICIA)  require  specific  supervisory
actions as capital levels decrease. To be considered  well-capitalized under the
regulatory  framework for Prompt Corrective Action provisions under FDICIA,  the
Bank  must  maintain  minimum  Tier 1  leverage,  Tier 1  risk-based  and  total
risk-based  capital ratios as set forth in the following tables.  March 31, 1997
and 1996, the Bank exceeded the minimum  requirements  for the  well-capitalized
category.

         The following  presents the Bank's regulatory capital levels and ratios
relative  to its  minimum  capital  levels and ratios  relative  to its  minimum
capital requirements.

12.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND REGULATORY MATTERS

         Dividend  Restrictions  - Under  current  regulations,  the Bank is not
permitted to pay dividends on its stock after the  Conversion if its  regulatory
capital  would  thereby  reduce  below  (i) the  amount  then  required  for the
aforementioned  liquidation  account  or  (ii)  the  Bank's  regulatory  capital
requirements.  As a "Tier 1" institution (an institution  with capital in excess
of its  fully  phased-in  capital  requirements,  both  immediately  before  the
proposed  capital  distribution  and on a pro forma basis after giving effect to
such distribution),  the Bank may make capital  distributions after prior notice
to the OTS in any  calendar  year up to 100% of its net  earnings to date during
such  calendar  year plus the amount that would  reduce by one-half  its capital
surplus ratio at the beginning of such calendar year.  Any additional  amount of
capital distributions would require prior regulatory approval.

         Preferred Stock - The Company is authorized to issue  1,000,000  shares
of preferred stock,  $.01 par value which remains unissued at March 31, 1997. In
the event any preferred shares are issued,  the Board of Directors is authorized
to fix and state the voting powers, designations,  preferences and rights of the
shares of each such series and the  qualifications,  limitations and restriction
thereof.

         Recapitalization  of SAIF - On September 30, 1996, the President signed
into law an omnibus appropriations act for fiscal year 1997 that included, among
other things,  the  recapitulation  of the Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund
(SAIF) in a section  entitled  "The  Deposit  Insurance  Funds Act of 1996" (the
Act).  The Act included a provision  where all insured  depository  institutions
would be charged a one-time special assessment on their SAIF assessable deposits
as of March 31, 1995. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $1,766,185 during
the year ended March 31, 1997, which  represented 65.7 basis points of the March
31, 1995, assessable deposits.
 
13.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

         Multi-employer   Pension   Plan   -   The   Bank   participates   in  a
noncontributory  multi-employer  pension plan covering all qualified  employees.
The  plan  is  administered  by  the  trustees  of the  Financial  Institutions'
Retirement  Fund.  There  is no  separate  valuation  of the plan  benefits  nor
segregation  of plan  assets  specifically  for the Bank  because  the plan is a
multi-employer plan and separate actuarial  valuations are not made with respect
to each employer.

         Pension  expense  amounted to $40,000,  $142,028,  and $208,483 for the
years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan - The Company  established an Employee
Stock  Ownership  Plan (ESOP) which  purchased 7% or 166,635 shares of the stock
offered  in the  conversion.  The funds used by the ESOP to  purchase  the stock
offered  by a  $1,666,350  loan  from  the  Company  which  will  be  repaid  by
contributions  to the ESOP by the Company in the  future.  Pursuant to the ESOP,
the shares are to be allocated to participants annually,  over an 8 year period.
The ESOP covers  substantially all employees and shares are allocated based upon
employee  compensation levels during the year. ESOP expense is based on the fair
value of shares earned,  and totaled $479,046 and $503,579 during 1997 and 1996,
respectively.  During  fiscal years ended March 31,  1997,  1996 and 1995 24,864
shares,  25,890 shares and 26,867 shares were earned by  participants.  At March
31, 1997, 89,014 shares with a fair value of $1,847,000 were held in suspense by
the ESOP.  These shares are not considered to be outstanding  for the purpose of
computing earning per share.

<PAGE>
         Recognition  and  Retention  Plan  - The  Company  also  established  a
Recognition and Retention Plan (RRP) as a method of providing executive officers
and employees with a proprietary interest in the Company in a manner designed to
encourage such  individuals to remain with the Bank. At March 31, 1994, 3.48% or
82,952 shares were awarded to certain  employees  with such shares  vesting at a
rate of 20% per year,  with the first  installment  vesting March 31, 1995.  The
cost of the RRP is being  reflected as  compensation  expense as vesting occurs.
This  amounted to $149,873 and  $147,217  and  $252,360  during the fiscal years
ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

         Stock Option and Incentive Plan - The Company has granted stock options
to existing stockholders,  officers,  directors and other affiliated individuals
to purchase shares of the Company's stock. At March 31, 1997,  outstanding stock
options of 220,836 vest at a rate of 25% per year and are exercisible in the ten
years  immediately  following  vesting.  During the fiscal years ended March 31,
1997 and 1996,  options to purchase an  additional  4,761 and 16,000 shares were
awarded with the first vesting to occur September 1, 1997 and November 21, 1996,
respectively. Employee terminations resulted in options to purchase 2,976, 5,356
and 1,190 shares being cancelled  during fiscal years ended March 31, 1997, 1996
and 1995 respectively.
 
         The  following is an analysis of stock option  activity for each of the
three  years  in the  period  ending  March  31,  1997  and  the  stock  options
outstanding at the end of the respective years:

</TABLE>
         The number of shares  exercisable  at March 31,  1997,  1996,  and 1995
were:  220,836,  224,880 and 217,805,  respectively  and had a weighted  average
exercised price of $10.63, $10.51 and $10.05, respectively. The weighted average
remaining contractual life of the options outstanding at March 31, 1997 and 1996
was 8.1 years and 7.2 years, respectively.

         APB Opinion  No. 25,  "Accounting  for Stock Issued to  Employees," and
related  interpretations  in  accounting  for the  stock-based  plans  have been
applied by the Company.  No compensation  cost has been recognized for the stock
option and  incentive  plan  because the stock option price is equal to the fair
value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant.

         The Company estimated the SFAS 123 fair value by utilizing the binomial
options  pricing  model  based upon  estimated  values for the  risk-free  rate,
volatility  rate and life  ranges.  The pro forma  compensation  effects of this
calculation were insignificant.

         Deferred  Compensation  (401K)  Plan -  Effective  January  1, 1995 the
Company  adopted an Employee  Deferred  Compensation  (401K)  Plan  administered
through  the  financial   institution's   retirement  fund.  Each  employee  may
contribute  up to  6% of  compensation.  Employee  contributions  of up to 4% of
compensation are matched by the Company at a rate of $.25 per dollar of employee
contribution.  The  Company  matching  expense was  $19,203,  $19,386 and $6,249
during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 respectively.
 
         Directors  Deferred  Compensation  Plan - The  Bank  has  entered  into
deferred  compensation  agreements with certain directors.  Benefits under these
agreements are paid over a ten year period upon retirement. The present value of
the  benefit  to be paid is  accrued  over the active  period of  employment  of
individual participants and is funded by life insurance policies.

14.  COMMITMENTS

         Lease  commitments - The Company has future minimum rental  commitments
for noncancelable operating leases as follows:

                   2002                      3,724
</TABLE>
         Rental expense for long-term leases for the years ended March 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995 was $70,265 $57,851 and $101,452, respectively.

         Rental  income from  noncancelable  subleases for the years ended March
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $103,306, $93,883, and $66,807, respectively.

         Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk - The Bank is a party
to  financial  instruments  with  off-balance-sheet  risk of loss as part of its
normal  business  operations  to meet the  financing  needs of its  customers by
providing  commitments to extend credit.  These instruments  involve, to varying
degrees,  elements  of credit  and  interest  rate risk in excess of the  amount
recognized  in the  balance  sheet.  The  contract  amount of these  instruments
reflects  the extent of  involvement  the Company has in this class of financial
instruments.

         Exposure  to credit  loss in the event of  nonperformance  by the other
party  to  the  financial   instrument  for  commitments  to  extend  credit  is
represented by the contract  amount of those  instruments.  The Company uses the
same  credit  policies  in making  commitments  as it does for  on-balance-sheet
instruments.  Unless noted otherwise, the Company does not require collateral or
other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.
<PAGE>

         Real estate loan commitments  whose contract  amounts  represent credit
risk were approximately  $1,930,000,  $3,963,100 and $743,000 at March 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

                                     - 40 -
<PAGE>
         Commitments  to extend  credit  are  agreements  to lend to a  customer
provided  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. Some  commitments  will expire without a loan
disbursement;  thus, the total commitment does not necessarily  represent future
cash  requirements.  The Bank evaluates each  customer's  creditworthiness  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 of
the borrower.
<PAGE>
         The collateral  consists  predominantly  of  residential  family units,
commercial residential or non-residential real estate, and personal property.

         Employment   agreement  -  The  Company  has  entered  into  employment
agreements with two executive officers.  Under certain circumstances provided in
the agreement, the Company may be obligated to continue the officer's salary for
a period of three years.

         The estimated fair value amounts are  determined by the Company,  using
available market information and appropriate valuation  methodologies.  However,
considerable  judgment is required  in  interpreting  market data to develop the
estimates of fair value.  Accordingly,  the estimates  presented  herein are not
necessarily  indicative  of the amounts the Company  could  realize in a current
market  exchange.  The use of different  market  assumptions  and/or  estimation
methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

         Cash,  interest-bearing deposits, interest receivable and payable, cash
surrender  value of life insurance  advance  payments by borrowers for taxes and
insurance and other borrowed  funds - The carrying  amounts of these items are a
reasonable estimate of their fair value.

         Investment securities and mortgage-backed  securities - Fair values are
based on prices obtained from independent pricing services.

         Loans - The fair value of mortgage loans is estimated  using  published
loan buy rates for similar loans and quoted  market  prices for  mortgage-backed
securities  backed by loans  with  similar  characteristics.  The fair  value of
non-mortgage  loans is estimated by discounting  the future cash flows using the
current rates for loans of similar credit risk and maturities.

         Federal  Home Loan Bank stock - The fair value is  estimated  to be the
carrying  value  which is par.  All  transactions  in the  capital  stock of the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis are executed at par.
                                     - 44 -
<PAGE>
         Deposits  - The fair value of demand  deposits,  savings  accounts  and
money market  deposit  accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting
date. The fair value of  fixed-maturity  certificates of deposit is estimated by
discounting  future  cash flows using rates  offered on the  reporting  date for
deposits of similar remaining maturities.

         Federal  Home Loan  Bank  advances  - The fair  value is  estimated  by
discounting  future cash flows using rates  currently  available to the bank for
advances of similar maturities.

         Commitments  - The  commitments  to originate  and purchase  loans have
terms that are consistent with current market conditions.  Accordingly, the Bank
estimated  that the face  amounts  of these  commitments  approximates  carrying
value.

         The fair value  estimates  presented  herein  are based on  information
available to  management as of March 31, 1997 and 1996.  Although  management is
not aware of any factors  that would  significantly  affect the  estimated  fair
value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively  revalued for purposes
of these  consolidated  financial  statements  since that date,  and  therefore,
current  estimates  of fair  value  may  differ  significantly  from the  amount
presented herein.
