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 twelve  branch  offices,  the
Company serves Vanderburgh, Gibson, Warrick, Posey and Dubois Counties, Indiana.
At March 31, 1999, the Company had total assets of $492.3  million,  deposits of
$345.3 million,  and total stockholders' equity of $40.9 million (8.31% 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,  1999,  74.5% of the Bank's loan
portfolio   was   fixed-rate   and  24.1%  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 25.5% at March 31,  1999 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, 1999, attached hereto as Exhibit 13 (the "Annual Report").

                                        2

         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, 1999, the Bank's total
loan portfolio,  including  commercial paper,  totaled $324.1 million,  of which
$171.3 million,  or 52.8%, were one- to four-family  mortgage loans. At the same
date,  consumer loans (including  indirect and direct  automobile loans) totaled
$86.1 million,  or 26.6%,  multi-family and commercial real estate loans totaled
$31.9 million,  or 9.9%,  construction loans totaled $8.2 million,  or 2.5%, and
there  was $9.3  million  of  commercial  paper,  representing  2.9% of the loan
portfolio.  Other  business  loans  totaled  $17.3  million  or 5.3% of the loan
portfolio.

         The Bank also invests in mortgage-backed securities. At March 31, 1999,
mortgage-backed  securities,  net,  totaled  $54.8  million,  or  11.1% 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 $350,000,
commercial  real estate loans in excess of $1,000,000  and  commercial  business
loans in excess of $1,000,000  require the approval of the Board of Directors or
the  Senior  Loan  Committee   consisting  of  three  Bank  officers  and  three
non-employee  directors.  All unsecured loans in excess of $250,000 are reviewed
by this committee.

         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, 1999, the maximum amount which the Bank
could have lent to any one  borrower  and the  borrower's  related  entities was
approximately  $4.9  million.  At March  31,  1999,  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,  1999,  the total amount of loans due after March 31, 1999
which had fixed  interest  rates was $241.4  million,  while the total amount of
loans due after such date which had floating or  adjustable  interest  rates was
$82.7 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, 1999,  the Bank had $171.2  million,  or 52.8% 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 or ten-year adjustable rate loans recently.  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. 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 100% 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.
<PAGE>
         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.

         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

                                        7
<PAGE>
the loan.  Potential borrowers are qualified for fixed-rate loans based upon the
initial or stated rate of the loan. Borrowers on one year adjustable-rate  loans
are currently  qualified at an 8% rate or the fully-indexed rate after one year,
whichever is higher.  Borrowers on other  adjustable-rate loans are qualified at
the note rate.

         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.  Mortgage-backed securities decreased $19.7 million in 1998, and $26.7
million  in  fiscal  1999.  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 and has during the last fiscal year expanded
its consumer loan  portfolio  particularly  in the  automobile  and home lending
areas.  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. 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,  1999,  the Bank's  consumer  loan
portfolio  totaled  $86.1  million,  or 26.6% of its loan  portfolio.  The chief
component  of such loans  consists  of  indirect  and direct  automobile  paper,
accounting for $56.8 million,  or 65.9%, of the consumer loan portfolio at March
31, 1999. 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.

         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

                                        8
<PAGE>
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, 1999, indirect dealer loans totaled $46.1 million, or 53.6%,
of the Bank's consumer loan portfolio.

         5 At March 31, 1999, $23.4 million of the Bank's consumer loans
consisted of home equity loans,  including home equity lines of credit. The home
equity loans are typically collateralized by second mortgages on owner-occupied,
single-family mortgage loans.

         The Bank has 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,  1999  was  $724,000,  or .22% 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, 1999,  $54,000,  or 7.5%, 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.  An increasing part of
the Bank's  portfolio  as a  percentage  of the total,  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,  1999,  the Bank had  multi-family  and  commercial  real estate loans
totaling $31.9 million, representing 9.8% of its loan portfolio.

         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, hotels and shopping centers.

                                                                  ==========           =========     ============
</TABLE>
         At  March  31,  1999,  the  Bank  had a total  of 13  multi-family  and
commercial real estate loans with  outstanding  principal  balances in excess of
$1.0 million. Each of these loans was performing in accordance with its terms at
March 31, 1999.

         Multi-family  and commercial  real estate loans  originated by the Bank
generally  have terms ranging from 5 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.
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
                                       10
<PAGE>
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.

         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, 1999, the Bank's  construction  loan portfolio
totaled  $8.2  million  (including  a  $155,000  loan  on a  low-income  housing
project),  or 2.5% 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 loan 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, 1999.

         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.

         A small but increasing part of the Bank's loan portfolio,  at March 31,
1999,   Permanent  Federal  had  $17.3  million  in  commercial  business  loans
outstanding (representing 5.3% of the Bank's total loan portfolio). At March 31,
1999, Permanent Federal had $136,000 of standby 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.

                                       11
<PAGE>
         During fiscal 1999,  the Bank  originated a total of $168.8  million in
loans.  Of the loans  originated  during the year,  $55.9  million  were one- to
four-family real estate loans,  $76.9 million were consumer loans, $27.7 million
were commercial 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 15 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  (generally  non-conforming
loans) are also retained in the Bank's  portfolio.  Servicing is retained on all
loan sales,  except for FHA and VA mortgage loans.  During fiscal 1997, 1998 and
1999,  the Bank sold $1.0  million,  $5.1  million  and $12.7  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). In addition, 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 $7.1 million, $5.5 million, and $14.3 million at
March 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

         During  the  past  three   fiscal   years,   the  Bank  has   purchased
mortgage-backed  securities in order to supplement loan demand.  In fiscal 1996,
the Bank  purchased  $30.2 million of  mortgage-backed  securities and purchased
$34.5  million  and $18.5  million of such  securities  in fiscal 1997 and 1998,
respectively.  In fiscal  1999,  the Bank  purchased  $20.9  million of mortgage
backed securities.  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   $1.6  million,   $4.9  million  and  $23.4  million   (excluding
undisbursed  portions  of loans in process)  at March 31,  1997,  1998 and 1999,
respectively. In addition, the Bank had approximately $104,000,

                                       12
<PAGE>
$100,000 and $106,000 in commitments  to sell loans at March 31, 1997,  1998 and
1999, respectively.

         The  amount of loans  serviced  by the Bank for  others  totaled  $34.3
million,  $32.5  million  and $36.3  million at March 31,  1997,  1998 and 1999,
respectively.

         The  Bank  generally  earns  servicing  fees  of 25  basis  points  for
servicing  loans for others.  For the years ended March 31, 1997,  1998 and 1999
such fees amounted to approximately $101,000, $84,000 and $82,000, 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 10 to 15 days after the scheduled payment date,  depending on the
type of loan, 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  and  outside  directors  of the Bank
periodically reviews large loans (generally,  those unsecured loans in excess of
$250,000,  residential  real estate loans in excess of $350,000  and  commercial
credits  in  excess  of  $1,000,000).  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.  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.

         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

                                       15
<PAGE>
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.  Additionally,  while the
Bank's asset quality is generally strong and its reserves  adequate,  changes in
the local or national  exonomy could adversely  affect asset quality or call for
the establishment of additional reserves.

         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

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

         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
outflows.  Cash flow  projections  are regularly  reviewed and updated to assure
that adequate  liquidity is maintained.  At March 31, 1999, the Bank's liquidity
ratio (liquid assets as a percentage of net  withdrawable  savings  deposits and
current  borrowings)  was 40.5%.  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,  1999,   Permanent  Federal's   securities
(including mortgage-backed securities) totaled $124.2 million, or 14.1% of total
assets.  As of such date,  the Bank also had a $5.5 million  investment  in FHLB
stock, satisfying its requirement for membership in the FHLB of Indianapolis.

         OTS and accounting guidelines regarding investment portfolio accounting
require  institutions  to categorize  all 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 estimated  fair value.  At March 31, 1999, the
Company had $117.3  million in securities  "available for sale," $6.9 million of
securities  which  are  held  to  maturity,  and  no  securities  identified  as
"trading."  The  securities  available  for  sale  at  March  31,  1999  had net
unrealized  gains of $9,869.  At March 31, 1998,  the Bank had $168.3 million in
securities  available  for  sale,  $18.9  of  securities  classified  as held to
maturity and no securities identified as "trading." The securities available for
sale at March 31, 1998 had net unrealized gains of $372,373.

         At March 31,  1999 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.  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, 1999, the Bank's mortgage-backed securities totaled $54.8
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, 1999, the
Bank's  portfolio  consisted of $54.8 million  available for sale. At such date,
the portfolio had a weighted average interest rate of 6.33%.

         For  information  regarding the carrying and market values of Permanent
Federal's  mortgage-backed  securities  portfolio,  see  Note 2 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
(including  mortgage-backed  securities) and to support lending  activities.  At
March 31, 1999, the Bank's borrowings  consisted of FHLB advances totaling $96.5
million. See Notes 6, 7 and 8 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.

         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 years 1997, 1998
and 1999, the Bank experienced a net inflow as a result of branch  acquisitions.
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.

         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, 1999 the Bank's FHLB advances  totaled $96.5  million.

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 12.5% interest,  along with seven 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.  The Bank uses the
equity  method to account  for its  investment  and in fiscal  1990,  recognized
$89,400 in income from FFLIC.

         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
net income of $10,300 for the year ended March 31, 1999.

         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.

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

                                       24
<PAGE>
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 1997 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
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, 1999 was
$100,000.

         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-one-borrower
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, 1999,  the
Bank's lending limit under this restriction was $4.9 million. At March 31, 1999,
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

                                       25
<PAGE>
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
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.

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
applicable to the Bank.

         Pursuant  to the Act, as of January 1, 1997,  commercial  banks will be
required  to share in the  payment  of  interest  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.

                                       26
<PAGE>
         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 applicable 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  and
exempt  certain   transactions  and  simplify  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.

         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, 1999, 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,  1999,  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, 1999, the non- includable  portion of the Bank's investment in FFLIC totaled
$723,000. See also "Service Corporation Activities."

                                       27
<PAGE>
         At March 31, 1999, the Bank had core capital of $32.8 million, or 6.76%
of adjusted total assets, which is approximately $13.4 million above the minimum
requirement of 4% of adjusted total assets in effect on that date.

         The capital standards also require core capital equal to at least 4% 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, 1999, the Bank had no intangibles  which were subject to
these tests.

         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.

         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.  Other than goodwill, the
Bank's  only  exclusion  from  capital  and  assets  at March  31,  1999 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.

                                     28
<PAGE>
         At March  31,  1999,  the  Bank  had  total  capital  of $34.3  million
(including  $32.8  million in core capital) and  risk-weighted  assets of $280.1
million (including $9.7 million in converted off- balance sheet assets) or total
capital of 12.2% of  risk-weighted  assets.  This amount was $11.9 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.

         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.

                                       29
<PAGE>
         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."

         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 4%.

         Penalties may be imposed upon associations for violations of the liquid
asset ratio requirement.  At March 31, 1999, the Bank was in compliance with the
requirements, with an overall liquid asset ratio of 40.5%.

         Accounting.   An  OTS  policy  statement   applicable  to  all  savings
associations  clarifies and  reemphasizes  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

                                      30
<PAGE>
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.

         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, 1999, 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

                                       30
<PAGE>
devote  additional funds for investment and lending in its local community.  The
Bank was examined for CRA  compliance  in November 1997 and received a rating of
satisfactory.

         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."

         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

                                       32
<PAGE>
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, 1999,  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,  1999,  the Bank had $5.5  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  approximately 8% and were 8.03% for fiscal
year ended March 31, 1999.  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  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, 1999,  dividends  paid by the FHLB of  Indianapolis  to the Bank
totaled  $437,696,  which  constitute  a  $4,873  increase  over the  amount  of
dividends received in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998.

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
could,  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" was 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)  could 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.

         In August  1996,  legislation  was enacted  that  repealed  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, thrifts must recapture that portion of
the reserve  that  exceeds  the amount  that could have been 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,  1999,  the  Bank's  Excess for tax  purposes  totaled
approximately $6 million.
                                       34
<PAGE>
         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.

         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.

         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.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


         THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT  ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of
this 6th day of  October,  1998,  by and  between  PERMANENT  BANCORP,  INC.,  a
Delaware  corporation which is registered  savings and loan holding company (the
"Holding  Company"),  PERMANENT  FEDERAL  SAVINGS  BANK,  a  federally-chartered
savings  bank  (hereinafter  referred to as the  "Bank"),  whose  address is 101
Southeast Third Street, Evansville,  Indiana 47708 and Donald P. Weinzapfel (the
"Employee") whose address is 7826 Briarwood, Evansville, Indiana 47715.

         WHEREAS,  the Employee is  currently  serving as Chairman of the Board,
and Chief  Executive  Officer of the Bank, and Chairman of the Board,  President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Holding Company; and


         WHEREAS,  the Boards of Directors  of the Bank and the Holding  Company
recognize that, as is the case with publicly held  corporations  generally,  the
possibility  of a change in control of the  Holding  Company  may exist and that
such  possibility,  and the  uncertainty  and questions which it may raise among
management,  may  result  in the  departure  or  distraction  of key  management
personnel  to  the  detriment  of  the  Bank,   the  Holding   Company  and  its
stockholders; and


         WHEREAS,  the Boards of Directors  of the Bank and the Holding  Company
believe it is in the best interests of the Bank and the Holding Company to enter
into  this  Agreement  with  the  Employee  in  order to  assure  continuity  of
management  of the Bank and the Holding  Company and to reinforce  and encourage
the continued  attention and  dedication of the Employee to his assigned  duties
without distraction in the face of potentially disruptive  circumstances arising
from the possibility of a change in control of the Holding Company,  although no
such change is now contemplated; and


         WHEREAS,  the Boards of Directors  of the Bank and the Holding  Company
have approved and  authorized  the execution of this Agreement with the Employee
to take effect as stated in Section 4 hereof and this Agreement  shall supersede
the prior  agreement  between the parties  related to the Employee's  employment
with the Bank such that the Employee  shall now have an agreement  with both the
Bank and the Holding Company;


         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective
covenants  and  agreements  of the  parties  herein  contained,  it is AGREED as
follows:

         1.  Employment.  The Employee will be employed solely as
Chairman of the Board of the Bank, such position to last until

                                        1
<PAGE>
January 1, 1999, and shall additionally be employed as Chairman of the Board and
Chief  Executive  Officer  of the  Holding  Company  until  April  1,  2000.  In
performing  such duties,  Employee  shall render  administrative  and management
services as are customarily  performed by persons situated in similar  executive
capacities,  and shall have other  powers and duties as may from time to time be
prescribed  by the Board,  provided  that such  duties are  consistent  with the
Employee's  positions as described  above. The Employee shall continue to devote
his best efforts and  substantially  all his business  time and attention to the
business and affairs of the Bank, or the Holding Company, as appropriate.

         2.       Compensation.

                  (a)  Salary.  The  Bank,  until  January  1,  1999,  and  then
thereafter  the Holding  Company,  agree to pay the Employee  during the term of
this  Agreement  a salary  established  by the Board of  Directors.  The  salary
hereunder as of the Commencement  Date (as defined in Section 4 hereof) shall be
$174,000  per year.  The salary  provided  for herein  shall be payable not less
frequently than monthly in accordance with the practices of the Bank,  provided,
however,  that no such  salary  is  required  to be  paid by the  terms  of this
Agreement  in  respect  of  any  month  or  portion  thereof  subsequent  to the
termination of this Agreement.

                  (b) Expenses. During the term of his employment hereunder, the
Employee  shall be entitled to receive prompt  reimbursement  for all reasonable
expenses incurred by him (in accordance with policies and procedures at least as
favorable to the Employee as those presently  applicable to the senior executive
officers  of the  Bank) in  performing  services  hereunder,  provided  that the
Employee properly accounts therefor in accordance with Bank policy.

         3.       Benefits.

                  (a)  Participation  in Retirement and Employee  Benefit Plans.
The Employee shall be entitled while employed  hereunder to participate  in, and
receive  benefits under,  all plans relating to stock options,  stock purchases,
pension  (including  defined  benefit plan and employee stock  ownership  plan),
thrift,  profit-sharing  (including 401(k) plan), group life insurance,  medical
coverage,  education,  cash or stock bonuses,  and other  retirement or employee
benefits or combinations  thereof,  that are now or hereafter maintained for the
benefit of the Bank's executive employees or for its employees generally.

                  (b) Fringe  Benefits.  The  Employee  shall be eligible  while
employed  hereunder to participate  in, and receive  benefits  under,  any other
fringe  benefits  which are or may become  applicable  to the  Bank's  executive
employees or to its employees generally.

                                        2
<PAGE>
         4. Term.  The term of  employment  under this  Agreement  shall be from
October 6, 1998 to April 1, 2000,  subject to earlier  termination  as  provided
herein.

         5. Vacations.  The Employee shall be entitled,  without loss of pay, to
absent himself  voluntarily  from the  performance of his employment  under this
Agreement, all such voluntary absences to count as vacation time, provided that:

                  (a)      The Employee shall be entitled to an annual vacation
of not less than five (5) weeks per year;

                  (b)      The timing of vacations shall be scheduled in a
reasonable manner by the Employee; and

                  (c) Management  shall,  solely at the Employee's  request,  be
entitled to grant to the  Employee a leave or leaves of absence  with or without
pay at such time or times and upon such terms and conditions as  management,  in
its discretion, may determine.

         6.  Termination of Employment; Death.

                  (a) The Board of  Directors  of either the Bank or the Holding
Company, as appropriate,  may terminate the Employee's employment (but not board
membership) at any time, but any such  termination,  other than  termination for
cause,  shall not  prejudice  the  Employee's  right to  compensation  and other
benefits under the Agreement. If the employment of the Employee is involuntarily
terminated,  other than for "cause" as provided in this Section 6(a) or pursuant
to any of Sections  6(d) through  6(g),  or by reason of death or  disability as
provided in Sections 6(c) or 7, the Employee  shall be entitled to receive,  (i)
his then  applicable  salary for the  then-remaining  term of the  Agreement  as
calculated  in accordance  with Section 4 hereof,  payable in such manner and at
such times as such salary would have been payable to the Employee  under Section
2 had he remained  in the employ of the Bank,  and (ii) all  benefits  currently
received,  including a car assignment,  club dues, disability benefits, and life
insurance,  as well as those  benefits  stated in Section 3(a) and 3(b) over the
then-remaining  term of the Agreement as calculated in accordance with Section 4
hereof.

                  The terms "termination" or "involuntarily  terminated" in this
Agreement shall refer to the  termination of the employment of Employee  without
his  express   written   consent.   The  Employee  shall  be  considered  to  be
involuntarily  terminated (1) if the employment of the Employee is involuntarily
terminated  for any reason  other than for "cause" as  provided in this  Section
6(a),  pursuant to any of Sections  6(d)  through  6(g) or by reason of death or
disability  as provided in Sections  6(c) and 7; or (2) there  occurs a material
diminution of or interference with the Employee's duties,  responsibilities  and
benefits  in the  Employee's  positions  as  described  in  Section 1. By way of
example  and  not by way  of  limitation,  any  of  the  following  actions,  if
unreasonable or
                                        3
<PAGE>
materially  adverse  to  the  Employee,  shall  constitute  such  diminution  or
interference unless consented to in writing by the Employee: (i) a change in the
principal  workplace  of the  Employee  to a  location  more than 30 miles  from
Evansville,  Indiana;  (ii) a material  demotion of the Employee,  a significant
reduction  in the  number  or  seniority  of other  personnel  reporting  to the
Employee,  or a reduction in the frequency  with which,  or in the nature of the
matters with respect to which,  such  personnel  are to report to the  Employee,
other  than as part of a Bank or Holding  Company-wide  reduction  in staff;  or
(iii) a  reduction  or  adverse  change in the  salary,  perquisites,  benefits,
contingent  benefits or vacation time which had theretofore been provided to the
Employee,  other than as part of an overall program  applied  uniformly and with
equitable  effect to all  members of the senior  management  of the Bank and the
Holding Company.

                  In case of termination of the Employee's employment for cause,
the Bank or the Holding  Company,  as  appropriate,  shall pay the  Employee his
salary  through  the date of  termination,  and neither the Bank nor the Holding
Company shall have any further  obligation to the Employee under this Agreement.
The Employee shall have no right to receive  compensation  or other benefits for
any  period  after  termination  for  cause.  For  purposes  of this  Agreement,
termination  for "cause" shall  include  termination  because of the  Employee's
personal  dishonesty,  incompetence,  willful misconduct,  breach of a fiduciary
duty involving  personal profit,  intentional  failure to perform stated duties,
willful violation of any law, rule, or regulation (other than traffic violations
or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist  order, or material breach of any
provision of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the Employee shall
not be deemed to have been  terminated  for cause  unless and until  there shall
have been delivered to the Employee a copy of a resolution,  duly adopted by the
affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the disinterested members of the
Board of  Directors of the Bank or the Holding  Company,  as  appropriate,  at a
meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after  reasonable  notice
to the  Employee  and  an  opportunity  for  the  Employee,  together  with  the
Employee's  counsel,  to be heard  before the Board),  stating  that in the good
faith  opinion of the Board the  Employee  was  guilty of  conduct  constituting
"cause" as set forth above and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

                  (b) The Employee's employment may be voluntarily terminated by
the Employee at any time upon ninety (90) days written notice to the Bank or the
Holding  Company,  as appropriate,  or upon such shorter period as may be agreed
upon  between the Employee and the Board of Directors of the Bank or the Holding
Company, as appropriate. In the event of such voluntary termination, the Bank or
the Holding Company,  as appropriate,  shall be obligated to continue to pay the
Employee  his salary  only  through  the date of  termination,  at the time such
payments  are due, and neither the Bank nor the Holding  Company  shall have any
further obligation to the Employee under this Agreement.

                                        4
<PAGE>
                  (c) In the event of the death of the Employee  during the term
of employment under this Agreement and prior to any termination  hereunder,  the
Employee's estate, or such person as the Employee may have previously designated
in writing,  shall be entitled to receive from the Bank or the Holding  Company,
as appropriate,  the salary of the Employee through the last day of the calendar
month in which his death shall have occurred,  and the term of employment  under
this Agreement shall end on such last day of the month.

                  (d)  If  the   Employee  is  suspended   from  office   and/or
temporarily  prohibited from  participating in the conduct of the Bank's affairs
by a notice  served  under  Section  8(e)(3)  or (g)(1) of the  Federal  Deposit
Insurance Act ("FDIA"), 12 U.S.C. ss.ss.  1818(e)(3) and (g)(1), the obligations
of the Bank and the Holding Company, as appropriate,  under this Agreement shall
be  suspended  as  of  the  date  of  service,   unless  stayed  by  appropriate
proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Bank or the Holding
Company, as appropriate,  may in its discretion (i) pay the Employee all or part
of the compensation  withheld while its contract  obligations were suspended and
(ii) reinstate in whole or in part any of its obligations which were suspended.

                  (e) If the Employee is removed from office and/or  permanently
prohibited from  participating  in the conduct of the Bank's affairs by an order
issued under Section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. ss.ss.  1818(e)(4)
or  (g)(1)),  all  obligations  of the Bank and the Holding  Company  under this
Agreement  shall  terminate,  as of the effective date of the order,  but vested
rights of the parties shall not be affected.

                  (f) If the Bank is in default (as  defined in Section  3(x)(1)
of the FDIA), all its obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the
date of default,  but this  provision  shall not affect any vested rights of the
parties.

                  (g) All the Bank's  obligations  under this Agreement shall be
terminated,  except to the extent determined that continuation of this Agreement
is necessary for the continued operation of the Bank: (i) by the Director of the
Office of Thrift  Supervision  ("OTS")  or his or her  designee  at the time the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Resolution Trust Corporation enters
into an  agreement to provide  assistance  to or on behalf of the Bank under the
authority contained in Section 13(c) of the FDIA, 12 U.S.C. ss. 1823(c); or (ii)
by the  Director of the OTS or his or her  designee at the time the  Director of
the OTS or his or her designee approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems
related to operation of the Bank or when the Bank is  determined by the Director
of the OTS to be in an unsafe or unsound condition.

                  Any rights of the parties that have already  vested,  however,
shall not be affected by any such action.

                  (h) In the event the Bank or the  Holding  Company  purport to
terminate the Employee for cause, but it is determined by a

                                        5
<PAGE>
court of competent  jurisdiction or by an arbitrator pursuant to Section 18 that
cause did not exist for such termination, or if in any event it is determined by
any  such  court  or  arbitrator  that  the  Bank  or the  Holding  Company,  as
appropriate,  has  failed to make  timely  payment  of any  amounts  owed to the
Employee under this Agreement,  the Employee shall be entitled to  reimbursement
for all reasonable  costs,  including  attorneys' fees,  incurred in challenging
such  termination or collecting  such amounts.  Such  reimbursement  shall be in
addition to all rights to which the  Employee is otherwise  entitled  under this
Agreement.

         7. Disability.  If during the term of employment hereunder the Employee
shall  become  disabled  or  incapacitated  to the  extent  that he is unable to
perform the duties of the positions  set forth in Section 1, above,  he shall be
entitled to receive disability benefits of the type provided for other executive
employees of the Bank.

         8.       Change in Control.

                  (a) Involuntary  Termination.  If the Employee's employment is
involuntarily  terminated  (other  than for cause or pursuant to any of Sections
6(c) through 6(g) or Section 7 of this  Agreement) in connection  with or within
twelve (12) months after a change in control which occurs at any time during the
term of employment  under this Agreement,  the Bank or the Holding  Company,  as
appropriate,  shall pay to the Employee in a lump sum in cash within twenty-five
(25) business days after the Date of  Termination  (as  hereinafter  defined) of
employment  an amount equal to 299 percent of the  Employee's  "base  amount" of
compensation  received  from the  Bank and any  affiliated  entity  thereof,  as
defined in Section  280G(b)(3) of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
("Code").

              (b)  Definitions.  For  purposes  of  Sections 8, 9 and 12 of this
Agreement,  "Date of  Termination"  means the earlier of (i) the date upon which
the Bank or the Holding Company, as appropriate, gives notice to the Employee of
the  termination  of his  employment  with the Bank or the Holding  Company,  as
appropriate (ii) the date upon which the Employee ceases to serve as an Employee
of the Bank or the Holding Company,  as appropriate,  and "change in control" is
defined  solely as any  acquisition  of  control  (other  than  pursuant  to the
Conversion  or by a  trustee  or other  fiduciary  holding  securities  under an
employee  benefit  plan of the Holding  Company or a  subsidiary  of the Holding
Company), as defined in 12 C.F.R. ss. 574.4, or any successor regulation, of the
Bank or Holding  Company  which would require the filing of an  application  for
acquisition  of  control or notice of change in control in a manner as set forth
in 12 C.F.R. ss. 574.3, or any successor regulation.

                  (c)  Compliance  with  Capital  Requirements.  Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary,  no payments may be made by the Bank
pursuant to Section 8 hereof without the prior  approval of the Regional  Deputy
Director of the
                                        6
<PAGE>
OTS if following such payment the Bank would not be in compliance with its fully
phased-in capital requirements as defined in OTS regulations.

         9.  Certain  Reduction  of Payments by the Bank.  (a)  Anything in this
Agreement to the contrary  notwithstanding,  in the event it shall be determined
that  any  payment  or  distribution  by the  Bank or the  Holding  Company,  as
appropriate,  to or for the benefit of the Employee  (whether paid or payable or
distributed  or  distributable  pursuant  to the  terms  of  this  Agreement  or
otherwise)  (a  "Payment")  would  be  nondeductible  (in  whole or part) by the
employer for Federal  income tax  purposes  because of Section 280G of the Code,
then the aggregate  present value of amounts payable or  distributable to or for
the benefit of the Employee  pursuant to this Agreement (such amounts payable or
distributable  pursuant  to  this  Agreement  are  hereinafter  referred  to  as
"Agreement  Payments")  shall be reduced to the  Reduced  Amount.  The  "Reduced
Amount" shall be an amount,  not less than zero (0),  expressed in present value
which  maximizes  the  aggregate  present  value of Agreement  Payments  without
causing any Payment to be  nondeductible by the employer because of Section 280G
of the Code.  For purposes of this Section 9, present  value shall be determined
in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code.

                  (b) All determinations  required to be made under this Section
9 shall be made by the Bank's independent  auditors,  or at the election of such
auditors  by such other firm or  individuals  of  recognized  expertise  as such
auditors  may  select  (such  auditors  or, if  applicable,  such  other firm or
individual,  are hereinafter  referred to as the "Advisory Firm").  The Advisory
Firm  shall  within ten  business  days of the Date of  Termination,  or at such
earlier time as is requested by the Bank or the Holding Company, as appropriate,
provide to both the Bank and the  Holding  Company  and the  Employee an opinion
(and detailed  supporting  calculations)  that the Bank and the Holding  Company
have  substantial  authority to deduct for federal  income tax purposes the full
amount of the Agreement Payments and that the Employee has substantial authority
not to report on his federal income tax return any excise tax imposed by Section
4999 of the Code with respect to the Agreement Payments.  Any such determination
and opinion by the  Advisory  Firm shall be binding  upon the Bank,  the Holding
Company and the Employee.  The Employee shall  determine  which and how much, if
any, of the Agreement  Payments shall be eliminated or reduced  consistent  with
the requirements of this Section 9, provided that, if the Employee does not make
such  determination  within  ten  (10)  business  days  of  the  receipt  of the
calculations  made by the Advisory  Firm,  the Bank or the Holding  Company,  as
appropriate,  shall elect which and how much, if any, of the Agreement  Payments
shall be eliminated or reduced  consistent with the requirements of this Section
9 and shall  notify the  Employee  promptly  of such  election.  Within five (5)
business days of the earlier of (i) the Bank or the Holding Company's receipt of
the Employee's  determination  pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence of
this  Agreement  or (ii) the Bank or the Holding  Company's  election in lieu of
such determination,
                                        7
<PAGE>
the Bank or the Holding Company, as appropriate shall pay to or distribute to or
for the benefit of the Employee such amounts as are then due the Employee  under
this  Agreement.  The  Bank  and the  Holding  Company  and the  Employee  shall
cooperate fully with the Advisory Firm,  including without limitation  providing
to the Advisory Firm all information and materials  reasonably  requested by it,
in connection with the making of the determinations  required under this Section
9.

                  (c) As a result of  uncertainty in application of Section 280G
of the  Code at the  time of the  initial  determination  by the  Advisory  Firm
hereunder,  it is possible  that  Agreement  Payments  will have been made which
should not have been made  ("Overpayment") or that additional Agreement Payments
will not have been made which  should have been made  ("Underpayment"),  in each
case,  consistent with the  calculations  required to be made hereunder.  In the
event that the Advisory Firm,  based upon the assertion by the Internal  Revenue
Service  against the Employee of a deficiency  which the Advisory  Firm believes
has a high probability of success  determines that an Overpayment has been made,
any such  Overpayment  paid or distributed by the Bank or the Holding Company to
or for the  benefit of Employee  shall be treated for all  purposes as a loan ab
initio  which  the  Employee  shall  repay  to the Bank or the  Holding  Company
together  with interest at the  applicable  federal rate provided for in Section
7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided,  however, that no such loan shall be deemed to
have been made and no amount shall be payable by the Employee to the Bank or the
Holding  Company if and to the extent such  deemed  loan and  payment  would not
either reduce the amount on which the Employee is subject to tax under Section 1
and Section  4999 of the Code or  generate a refund of such taxes.  In the event
that the Advisory Firm,  based upon controlling  precedent or other  substantial
authority,  determines that an Underpayment has occurred,  any such Underpayment
shall be promptly paid by the Bank or the Holding Company, as appropriate, to or
for the benefit of the Employee together with interest at the applicable federal
rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

                  (d)   Notwithstanding   anything  in  this  Agreement  to  the
contrary, in no event shall the sum of a payment to the Employee under Section 8
of this  Agreement  and  payments of salary  under  Section 6 of this  Agreement
exceed  an  amount  that is  three  (3)  times  the  Employee's  average  annual
compensation  from the Bank and the  Holding  Company,  based on the most recent
five taxable years at the time of termination of employment.

                  (e)  Any  payments  made  to the  Employee  pursuant  to  this
Agreement,  or otherwise,  are subject to and conditioned  upon their compliance
with 12 U.S.C. ss. 1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

         10.      Confidential Information; Loyalty; Non-Competition.

                  (a) During the term of the Employee's employment hereunder and
thereafter,  the  Employee  shall not,  except as may be required to perform his
duties  hereunder  or as  required by law,  disclose  to others or use,  whether
directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information. "Confidential Information"
means  information  about the Bank or the Holding  Company and the Bank's or the
Holding  Company's  clients and customers  which is not available to the general
public  and was or  shall  be  learned  by the  Employee  in the  course  of his
employment by the Bank or the Holding Company,  including without limitation any
data, formulae,  information,  proprietary knowledge,  trade secrets, and credit
reports and analyses owned,  developed and used in the course of the business of
the Bank or the  Holding  Company,  including  client  and  customer  lists  and
information  related  thereto;  and  all  papers,  resumes,  records  and  other
documents (and all copies thereof) containing such Confidential Information. The
Employee acknowledges that such Confidential Information is specialized,  unique
in nature and of great value to the Bank and the Holding  Company.  The Employee
agrees that upon the expiration of the Employee's  term of employment  hereunder
or in the event the Employee's  employment hereunder is terminated prior thereto
for any reason whatsoever, the Employee will promptly deliver to the Bank or the
Holding  Company,  as  appropriate,  all  documents  (and  all  copies  thereof)
containing any Confidential Information.

                  (b) The Employee shall devote his full time to the performance
of his employment under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Employee may
serve,   without   compensation,   with   charitable,   community  and  industry
organizations  and continue to serve,  with  compensation,  as a director of any
business  corporation  of which he is  currently  a director  to the extent such
directorships  do not  inhibit  the  performance  of his  duties  thereunder  or
conflict with the business of the Bank or the Holding  Company.  During the term
of the  Employee's  employment  hereunder,  the Employee shall not engage in any
business or activity  contrary to the business  affairs or interests of the Bank
or the Holding Company.

                  (c)  Upon  the  expiration  of  the  term  of  the  Employee's
employment  hereunder  or in  the  event  the  Employee's  employment  hereunder
terminates prior thereto for any reason whatsoever,  the Employee shall not, for
a period of three (3) years after the occurrence of such event, for himself,  or
as the agent of, on behalf  of, or in  conjunction  with,  any person or entity,
solicit or attempt to solicit, whether directly or indirectly:  (i) any employee
of the Bank to terminate such employee's employment  relationship with the Bank;
or (ii) any savings  and loan,  banking or similar  business  from any person or
entity that is or was a client, employee, or customer of the Bank or the Holding
Company and had dealt with the Employee or any other employee of the Bank or the
Holding Company under the supervision of the Employee.

<PAGE>
                  (d) In the event  Employee  voluntarily  resigns  pursuant  to
Section  6(b) of this  Agreement,  or in the  event  the  Employee's  employment
hereunder is terminated  for cause,  the Employee shall not, for a period of one
year from the date of termination,  directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate
or control,  or participate in the ownership,  management,  operation or control
of, or be employed by or connected in any manner with, any financial institution
having an office  located  within twenty (20) miles of any office of the Bank as
of the date of termination.

                  (e) The provisions of subsections (b) and (d) hereof shall not
prevent the Employee from purchasing,  solely for investment, not more than five
(5%)  percent of any other  financial  institution's  stock or other  securities
which are traded on any national or regional securities exchange or are actively
traded in the over-the-counter  market and registered under Section 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

                  (f)  The   provisions   of  this  Section  shall  survive  the
termination of the Employee's  employment hereunder whether by expiration of the
term thereof or otherwise.

         11. No  Mitigation.  The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the
amount of any salary or other payment or benefit  provided for in this Agreement
by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or
benefit provided for in this Agreement be reduced by any compensation  earned by
the Employee as the result of  employment  by another  employer,  by  retirement
benefits after the date of termination or otherwise.

         12.  No Assignments.

                  (a) This Agreement is personal to each of the parties  hereto,
and  neither  party may  assign or  delegate  any of its  rights or  obligations
hereunder  without  first  obtaining  the  written  consent of the other  party;
provided,  however,  that the Bank and the  Holding  Company  will  require  any
successor  or  assign  (whether  direct  or  indirect,   by  purchase,   merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all or  substantially  all of the business and/or
assets of the Bank or the Holding  Company,  by an assumption  agreement in form
and substance  satisfactory  to the Employee,  to expressly  assume and agree to
perform  this  Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank
or the Holding  Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or
assignment  had taken  place.  Failure  of the Bank and the  Holding  Company to
obtain  such an  assumption  agreement  prior to the  effectiveness  of any such
succession or assignment  shall be a breach of this  Agreement and shall entitle
the Employee to  compensation  from the Bank and the Holding Company in the same
amount  and on the same  terms as the  compensation  pursuant  to  Section  8(a)
hereof.  For purposes of implementing  the provisions of this Section 12(a), the
date on which any such succession  becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of
Termination.

                  (b) This  Agreement  and all rights of the Employee  hereunder
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Employee's  personal and
legal   representatives,    executors,   administrators,    successors,   heirs,
distributees,  devisees  and  legatees.  If the  Employee  should  die while any
amounts  would still be payable to the  Employee  hereunder  if the Employee had
continued to live, all such amounts,  unless otherwise provided herein, shall be
paid in accordance  with the terms of this Agreement to the Employee's  devisee,
legatee or other  designee or if there is no such  designee,  to the  Employee's
estate.

         13. Notice.  For the purposes of this Agreement,  notices and all other
communications  provided for in the  Agreement  shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given when  personally  delivered  or sent by certified
mail,  return receipt  requested,  postage prepaid,  addressed to the respective
addresses  set  forth on the first  page of this  Agreement  (provided  that all
notices to the Bank or the Holding Company shall be directed to the attention of
the Board of Directors of the Bank or the Holding Company, as appropriate,  with
a copy to the Secretary of the Bank or the Holding Company, as appropriate),  or
to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing
in accordance herewith.

         14. Prior  Agreements/Amendments.  Upon the  Commencement  Date of this
Agreement,  all prior agreements,  still in effect, among the parties related to
the employment of the Employee shall be deemed null and void and have no effect.
No amendments or additions to this Agreement  shall be binding unless in writing
and signed by both parties, except as herein otherwise provided.

         15. Paragraph  Headings.  The paragraph headings used in this Agreement
are  included  solely  for  convenience  and  shall  not  affect,  or be used in
connection with, the interpretation of this Agreement.

         16.  Severability.  The  provisions of this  Agreement  shall be deemed
severable and the  invalidity  or  unenforceability  of any provision  shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

         17.  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
United States to the extent applicable and otherwise by the laws of the State of
Indiana.

         18.  Arbitration.  Any  dispute  or  controversy  arising  under  or in
connection  with this Agreement  shall be settled  exclusively by arbitration in
accordance  with  the  rules of the  American  Arbitration  Association  then in
effect.  Judgment may be entered on the  arbitrator's  award in any court having

TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS

         We are  pleased to report  that net income for the year ended March 31,
1999 was $2.86 million.  This amount  represents an 8.3% increase over the $2.64
million  earned during the year ended March 31, 1998. Net income for the Company
has increased every year since Permanent Bancorp, Inc. became publicly traded in
1994.

         Basic  earnings  per share were $0.72 for the year ended March 31, 1999
compared to $0.65 for the prior year.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.70 for
the year  ended  March 31,  1999  compared  to $0.62 for the prior  year.  Basic
earnings per share  increased  10.8% and diluted  earnings  per share  increased
12.9% during the year ended March 31, 1999 compared to the prior fiscal year. In
June 1998, the Board of Directors increased the dividend per share by 9.1% to an
annual rate of $0.24 per share.  Based upon the initial public offering price of
$5 (as adjusted for the  two-for-one  stock split effected in the form of a 100%
stock dividend in April 1998) this represents a dividend yield of 4.8%.

         The Company remains financially strong.  Total assets at March 31, 1999
were $492.3  million,  an increase of 12.1% from total assets at March 31, 1998.
Deposits  increased  $62.4  million,  or 22.1%,  and net loans  increased  $95.7
million, or 42.5%, from March 31, 1998.  Substantially all of the deposit growth
and  approximately  45% of the loan  growth  is  attributable  to the  Company's
acquisition  of the deposits and loans of four branch  locations  from  NBDBank,
N.A.  inJune 1998. The balance of the loan growth is  attributable to internally
generated  expansion of the Company's  consumer and commercial loan  portfolios.
This  expansion  into  higher  yielding  loans was funded by a  decrease  in the
securities portfolios.

         Interest  rate  spread  for the year  ended  March  31,  1999 was 2.74%
compared  to 2.41%  for the year  ended  March  31,  1998.  We are  particularly
encouraged  that at March 31, 1999  interest  rate spread was 2.86%  compared to
2.40% at March 31, 1998. Net interest margin (or net interest income dividend by
average  earnings assets) for fiscal 1999 was 2.91% compared to 2.74% for fiscal
1998.

         Asset  quality  remains  very  healthy.   Non-performing  assets  as  a
percentage  of total  assets  was .24% at March  31,  1999 and .25% at March 31,
1998.  The  allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was .84% at
March 31, 1999 and .87% at March 1998.  Other measures of asset quality continue
to be very favorable.

         The  acquisition  of  the  four  branch  locations  fromNBDBank  was  a
milestone for the Company.  Not only did this  acquisition  provide  significant
growth,  it  drastically  changed the nature of  theCompany.  At the time of the
merger the Company had fifteen  branches  including  the four acquired from NBD.
Because of the close  proximity of some of the offices,  the Company was able to
close two offices and take advantage of more modern and efficient locations.

         Increasingly  the Company is  becoming a  community  bank rather than a
traditional thrift organization. Consider the following:

o  Consumer and commercial  loans represent  34.7%of the total loan portfolio at
   March 31, 1999 but five years ago represented only 20.5% of total loans.
<PAGE>
o  Five years ago certificates of deposit represented 70% of all deposits. As of
   March 31, 1999 they represent 62.5% of the Company's  deposits.  Non-interest
   bearing  deposits  have grown from just under $1 million at March 31, 1994 to
   $12.3 million at March 31, 1999.

o  Five years ago the internet was only beginning to gain commercial  viability.
   Today the Company has its own website at  www.permanentbank.com.  We hope you
   will visit this site.  It's a convenient way to keep abreast of your accounts
   as well as transfer funds and pay bills.

                                                                               3
<PAGE>
o  The Company paid its first dividend to shareholders in the quarter ended June
   30,  1995.  Dividends  have been  paid in every  quarter  since  then and the
   dividend rate per share has increased 240% since the initial dividend.

         In October  1998 the Board of Directors  formally  adopted a management
transition plan in anticipation of the retirement from management of the current
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Donald P. Weinzapfel.

         In July 1998 John W. Forster retired from the Board of Directors.  John
has served the Company and its operating  subsidiary,  Permanent Federal Savings
Bank,  for more than twenty years.  In recognition of this service John has been
elected a director emeritus of the Bank. We wish John well.

         This  spring the Company  began  construction  on a new branch  banking
facility  on the  growing  east  side of  Evansville.  We  anticipate  that this
facility will be fully operational by the end of 1999.

         We, as always, appreciate the support of our shareholders.  We are very
optimistic about fiscal 2000 and look forward to continued earnings growth.

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

General

         This section presents  management's review of the operating results and
financial  condition  of  Permanent  Bancorp,   Inc.  (the  "Company")  and  its
subsidiary,  Permanent Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank").  This section provides
information which is not otherwise apparent from the Consolidated  Statements of
Financial Condition, Income, Stockholders' Equity and Cash Flows and is intended
to assist  readers in  understanding  the  Company's  performance  and financial
condition.

         The principal  business of the Company consists of attracting  deposits
from the general public and using these  deposits,  together with borrowings and
other funds, to originate one to four family residential  mortgage loans as well
as multi-family and commercial real estate loans,  automobile and other consumer
loans. The Company also originates  construction  and commercial  business loans
and 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 and investment securities and short-term
interest  bearing  deposits  and  the  average  rate  paid  on  interest-bearing
liabilities,  such as  deposits  and  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 or losses on the sale of loans and other
assets,  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.

         The  Company  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  markets and
financial services industry.  Management expects to retain a significant portion
of existing deposit balances by offering competitive rates on such deposits. The
Bank 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,  consumer  and
commercial  loans as well as competition  from other lending  institutions.  The
primary sources of funds for lending activities include deposits, loan payments,
borrowings,  the  sale of  loans  and  other  assets  and  funds  provided  from
operations.

Forward-looking Statements

         The  Company may from time to time make  "forward-looking  statements,"
including  statements contained in the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission (the "SEC"),  in its reports to  shareholders  and in other
communications,  which are made in good  faith by the  Company  pursuant  to the
"safe harbor"  provisions  of the Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of
1995.

         These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to the
Company's beliefs,  expectations,  estimates and intentions, that are subject to
significant risks and uncertainties,  and are subject to change based on various
factors  (some of which are  beyond  the  Company's  control).  Those  risks and
uncertainties  could  cause  the  Company's  financial   performance  to  differ
materially  from  expectations,  estimates,  and  intentions  expressed  in such
forward-looking statements.

         The Company does not undertake,  and expressly  disclaims any intent or
obligation,  to update any forward-looking  statement,  whether written or oral,
that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.

Information Systems and the Year 2000

         The  Company  began  working on its Year 2000 (or "Y2K")  plan,  a term
which refers to uncertainties  about the ability of data processing hardware and
software to properly  interpret  dates after the  beginning of the Year 2000, in
calendar year 1997. A project  leader who is a member of senior  management  has
been assigned to the project while senior  management  oversees it and regularly
reports to the Board of Directors.  A comprehensive  Year 2000 Plan (the "Plan")
that includes phases relating to awareness, assessment,  renovation,  validation
and  implementation has been established and includes a timetable and summarizes
each major  phase of the project and the  estimated  costs to renovate  and test
systems in preparation for the Year 2000.

         The awareness phase included a Company-wide campaign to communicate and
identify  the  problem  and the  potential  ramifications  to the  organization.
Concurrent  with this phase,  the  assessment  phase began  which  included  the
inventorying  of systems that may be  impacted.  The business use of each system
was analyzed and  prioritized  based upon the  perceived  adverse  effect on the
financial condition of the Company in the event of a loss or interruption in the
use of that system.  The Company has  completed  the  awareness  and  assessment
phases of the project.

         The Company has outsourced the most critical data processing activities
to an  industry-known  service  provider who is  responsible  for  modifying its
programs to be compliant with Year 2000  processing;  however,  testing of those
systems  is the  responsibility  of the  Company.  Focusing  on  these  critical
systems,  the Company has closely reviewed and monitored this vendor's progress.
Year 2000  compliant  upgrades  to these  outsourced  critical  data  processing
systems  were  installed  throughout  fiscal 1999 and the service  provider  has
represented that this process is substantially complete.

         The Y2K upgrades have been tested  according to a  comprehensive  plan.
All issues  discovered  during the testing were reported to the service provider
for remediation. Additional testing was conducted to assure that each identified
issue was correctly repaired. The Company has not discovered any material issues
during the testing.

         Other  critical  systems have also been  assessed as to their Year 2000
readiness.  These systems have been purchased from other industry-known  vendors
and are generally used in their purchased configuration.  The Company is closely
reviewing and  monitoring  these systems in addition to reviewing  less critical
systems as to each vendor's progress and testing.  Systems are being tested in a
non-production environment.  Assurance of Year 2000 compliance for these systems
has been  received  from  substantially  all of our vendors  including all those
deemed critical.  Integrated testing on all critical  applications will continue
through the first half of calendar year 1999. The review of non-critical systems
has begun and is also  expected to be  completed  by June 30,  1999. A system is
deemed  validated upon completion of an appropriate test plan and system testing
of the Year 2000 compliant version without problems.
<PAGE>
         The Company's  overall costs  associated with year 2000  implementation
will  be  reduced  due  to its  outsourcing  arrangement  previously  discussed;
however,  incremental direct expenses to date of approximately $55,000 have been
incurred  and  the  Company  anticipates  incurring   approximately  $90,000  of
additional  incremental  expenses  in fiscal  2000.  Included in this amount are
capital  improvements  which  will  be  accelerated  in part  due to  Year  2000
concerns. The capital improvements include replacing older technology,  personal
computers and software and telecommunication systems. Although implementation of
this  equipment  and software will resolve  certain Year 2000 issues,  they will
also provide increased or improved  functionality and efficiencies.  The cost of
this  equipment  and  software  is  expected  to be charged to expense  over the
estimated  useful lives. The  aforementioned  costs do not include the salary of
the project leader or the time of management and staff  assisting on the project
which are  estimated  to total  2,000  hours from fourth  quarter  1998  through
calendar  1999.  The total cost could vary  significantly  from those  currently
estimated   because  of   unforeseen   circumstances   which  could  develop  in
implementing the Plan.
                                                                               9
<PAGE>
         The Company has begun  communications with its customers informing them
of its efforts to become Y2K compliant and is  periodically  inserting a summary
of its progress in its periodic  mailings to  customers.  The Company has posted
Y2K  information  on its Web  Site  and is  training  its  employees  to  become
knowledgeable  about  the  progress  being  made to be  compliant.  Posters  are
displayed in the Bank's lobbies with Y2K information.

         Concurrent  with  the  development  and  execution  of the  Plan is the
evolution of the Company's Year 2000  contingency  plan. The contingency plan is
intended to be a changing  document  developed and modified based on the results
of  the  project.  The  contingency  plan  currently  includes  the  contingency
procedures  for  critical  data  processing  and  environmental  systems and key
suppliers.  The contingency  plan also addresses a variety of additional  issues
including credit risk, liquidity and loan and deposit customers.

         The Company has completed an evaluation of Year 2000 risks  relating to
its lines of business  separate  from its  dependence  on data  processing  that
includes a review of larger  commercial  customers  to ascertain  their  overall
preparedness for Year 2000. The process required lending and other bank officers
to meet with  their  customers  to review  and assess  their  preparedness.  The
failure of a commercial  customer to prepare adequately for Year 2000 could have
a significant adverse effect on such customer's operations and profitability and
thereby  inhibit its ability to repay loans or require the use of its  deposited
funds.  While the process of evaluating  the potential  adverse  effects of Year
2000 risks on these customers is substantially  complete,  it is not possible to
quantify the overall potential effect on the Company.

         The  plan  also  includes   provisions  which  address  the  Year  2000
compliance  of  environmental  systems,  which  include items such as elevators,
security  systems and  heating  and air  conditioning  systems.  No  significant
business risks have been revealed regarding these types of systems.

         While the  Company is making a  substantial  effort to become Year 2000
compliant,  there is no  assurance  that the failure to  adequately  address all
issues  relating  to the Year 2000  problem  would not have a  material  adverse
effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

March 31, 1999 Compared to March 31, 1998

         The Company's  total assets at March 31, 1999 were $492.3  million,  an
increase  of $53.2  million,  or 12.1% from  $439.1  million at March 31,  1998.
Investment and  mortgage-backed  securities  amounted to $123.2 million at March
31, 1999, a decrease of $63.9 million from $187.1 million at March 31, 1998. Net
loans  increased  by $95.7  million or 42.4% to $321  million at March 31,  1999
compared to $225.3  million at March 31,  1998.  Total  liabilities  were $451.5
million at March 31, 1999,  up $55.1  million,  or 13.9% from $396.4  million at
March 31, 1998.  Deposits of $345.3  million were up $62.4 million or 22.1% from
$282.9  million at March 31, 1998.  Substantially  all of the deposit growth and
approximately   45%  of  the  loan  growth  is  attributable  to  the  Company's
acquisition of four branch  locations from NBD Bank,  N.A. on June 26, 1998. The
balance of the loan  portfolio  growth is  attributable  primarily to internally
generated growth primarily in the consumer loan portfolio.

         Federal  Home Loan Bank (FHLB)  advances  decreased  by $2.9 million to
$96.5 million at March 31, 1999 from $99.4 million at March 31, 1998.
<PAGE>
         Total  stockholders'  equity decreased by $1.8 million to $40.9 million
at March 31, 1999.  The Company  earned $2.86  million and paid $1.21 million of
dividends to its  shareholders.  The Company purchased $4.16 million of treasury
shares and received $0.22 million from the issuance of its stock. The fair value
of  securities  decreased by  approximately  $0.22  million and $0.69 million of
stock was earned or became vested under the Company's ESOP and restricted  stock
award programs.

<PAGE>
         One to four family first  mortgage  loans  increased by $14 million and
consumer loans  increased by $40.7 million.  Commercial  and  multi-family  real
estate loans increased by $36.5 million,  land and construction  loans increased
by $4.8 million and commercial  paper decreased by $.014 million.  The allowance
for loan losses  increased by $.73 million due principally to the acquisition of
$.76  million of loss  reserves  associated  with the loans  acquired  from NBD.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended March 31, 1999 and March 31,
1998.

         General.  The Company's  net income of $2.86 million  during the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1999 was $0.22 million  greater or 8.3% more than the $2.64
million  earned during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998.  Operating  results
for the year ended March 31, 1999 include the income and expenses related to the
assets and liabilities of the four locations  acquired from NBD Bank, N.A. since
June 26, 1998, the date of acquisition, since the transaction has been accounted
for as a purchase.

         Net Interest  Income.  The Company's net interest  income  increased by
$1.8 million to $13 million for the year ended March 31, 1999  compared to $11.2
million  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  1998.  The  increase  was  primarily
attributable to an increase in the interest rate spread of 0.33%.

         Interest  Income.  Interest  income for the year ended  March 31,  1999
increased  $2.4 million to $32.9 million  compared to $30.5 million for the same
period in 1998.

         Interest  income  increased   because  total  interest  earning  assets
increased,  primarily due to the previously described NBD acquisition, and funds
were shifted  from lower  earning  investment  securities  into higher  yielding
loans.

         Average securities,  which includes mortgage-backed  securities,  other
securities and FHLB stock, decreased by $31.2 million from fiscal 1998 to fiscal
1999. The rate earned on mortgage-backed securities decreased to 6.17% in fiscal
1999  from  6.52% in the  prior  fiscal  year.  The  rate  earned  on all  other
securities,  including  the FHLB stock,  decreased  to 6.16% in fiscal 1999 from
7.01% in the prior fiscal year.

         The  average of other  interest  bearing  assets,  which are  primarily
deposits and other short-term  investments,  increased to $6.1 million in fiscal
1999 from  $1.4  million  in the prior  fiscal  year.  The rate  earned on these
investments decreased to 4.65% in fiscal 1999 from 7.49% in fiscal 1998.

         Average loans  outstanding  increased $64.8 million from fiscal 1998 to
fiscal 1999. This represents a 30% increase in average outstanding loans. During
the same period, the yields on loans declined by one basis point (.01%).

         The yield on all  interest-earning  assets decreased by 11 basis points
(.11%)  in  fiscal  1999.  For  the  year  ended  March  31,  1999  the  overall
interest-earning  asset  yield was 7.38%  compared  to 7.49% for the year  ended
March 31, 1998.
<PAGE>
         Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased by $0.57 million to $19.9
million  during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999  compared to $19.3  million
during fiscal 1998.  Interest paid on deposits  increased by $1.3 million due to
an increase of $54.1 million in average deposit balance which more than offset a
decrease  in the rate paid from 4.83% to 4.44%.  Interest  on Federal  Home Loan
Bank  advances  decreased  by  $.86  million  as  average  balances  outstanding
decreased by $7.2 million and the average rate paid on advances  also  decreased
from 5.77% during fiscal 1998 to 5.30% during fiscal year 1999. Interest expense
on Other  long-term  debt & other  borrowings  increased  due  primarily  to the
Company  borrowing $4.16 million of long-term debt from an unaffiliated  bank in
August 1998.  Proceeds from this borrowing was used by the Company to repurchase
302,100 shares of its own common stock. Fiscal 1998 borrowings consist primarily
of short-term borrowings to meet liquidity needs.
                                                                              11
<PAGE>
         The cost of all interest-bearing  liabilities  decreased from 5.08% for
the year ended March 31, 1998 to 4.68% for the year ended March 31, 1999.

         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 periodic  basis,  generally  monthly,  and is designed to ensure that  matters
affecting  loan  collectibility  will  be  identified  in a  timely  manner  and
evaluated 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, 1999, the Company  recorded a provision
for loan  losses of $300,000  compared to $177,050  for the year ended March 31,
1998.  In addition the Company  acquired  $760,000 of loan loss reserves as part
its  acquisitions  of assets from NBD Bank,  N.A.  Net charge  offs  amounted to
$327,000  during  fiscal 1999  compared to $330,000  during  fiscal 1998.  Asset
quality,  as  measured  by  non-performing   loans  to  total  loans,   improved
significantly  for the year ended March 31, 1999 compared to the prior year. The
ratios of  non-performing  loans to total  loans was 0.25% at March 31, 1999 and
 .40% at March 31, 1998  respectively.  The allowance  for losses,  as a ratio to
total loans,  was 0.84% at March 31, 1999 compared to .87% at March 31, 1998. At
March 31,  1999 and 1998,  the  allowance  for loan  losses as a  percentage  of
non-performing loans was 330.81% and 216.58%,  respectively.  It is management's
belief that the allowance for loan losses  reflects an adequate  reserve against
potential  losses  in 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 and other  collateral  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 $939,000 to $3,031,000  during
the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999.  This represents an increase of 44.9% over
the prior year.  Service  charges  increased  by $507,000  and profit on sale of
loans,  securities and real estate owned  increased by $299,000.  Commissions on
the sale of investment  and insurance  products  decreased by $17,000.  Earnings
from other sources were up by $150,000 during fiscal 1999.

         Other Expense.  The Company's other expense  increased by $2.22 million
from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999.  Salaries and employee benefits  increased $1.2
million  or 26%.  Occupancy  expenses  increased  $199,000,  equipment  expenses
increased $155,000,  computer service expenses increased  $168,000,  advertising
expenses increased  $58,000,  postage and office supplies increased $158,000 and
other expenses increased $311,000 from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999, respectively,
due to an  expansion  of  personnel to staff  additional  branch  facilities  to
service additional deposit and loan accounts acquired from NBD Bank, N.A.
<PAGE>
         Income Tax Provision.  The Company's income tax provision  increased by
$128,000  from  fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999  primarily  as a result of  increased
pretax  earnings.  The effective tax rate was 40.48% for fiscal 1999 compared to
40.72% for the prior year. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended March 31, 1998 and March 31,
1997.

         General.  The Company's  net income of $2.64 million  during the fiscal
year ended  March 31,  1998 was $1.34  million  greater  than the $1.30  million
earned  during the fiscal year ended

12
<PAGE>
March 31,  1997.  The  results of  operations  for the year ended March 31, 1997
include a $1.77 million (pretax) payment of a special assessment 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 income for the year ended March 31, 1998  compared to prior
year earnings before the special assessment increased $275,000 or 11.4%.

         Net Interest  Income.  The Company's net interest  income  increased by
$214,000 to $11.2  million  for the year ended March 31, 1998  compared to $11.0
million  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  1997.  The  increase  was  primarily
attributable  to  an  increase  in  average   interest  earning  assets  and  an
improvement in the interest rate spread of 0.01%.

         Interest  Income.  Interest  income for the year ended  March 31,  1998
increased  $833,000  to $30.5  million  compared  to $29.7  million for the same
period in 1997. With the exception of investment securities, interest income was
higher for all major  earning  asset  categories  including  increased  interest
income on loans of $713,000 (a 4.2% increase) and mortgage-backed  securities of
$269,000 (a 4.4%  increase).  Due to  decreased  holdings  of  interest  bearing
securities, investment security income decreased $199,000 or 3.2% from the prior
year. Due to increased holdings and an improved yield, dividends on Federal Home
Loan Bank stock were up by  $49,000.  Interest  income on loans  increased  as a
result of growth in average  loans  outstanding  of $ 5.6  million  for the year
ended March 31, 1998.  The weighted  average yield on loans was 8.14% during the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1998  compared to 8.02% during the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1997.  Interest  income on  mortgage-backed  securities also increased
primarily as a result of higher outstanding balances. Mortgage-backed securities
balances  averaged  $97.7  million  during fiscal 1998 compared to $91.4 million
during fiscal 1997.  Interest  bearing  securities and FHLB stock averaged $93.2
million  during fiscal 1998,  compared to $95.2 million  during fiscal 1997. The
weighted  average  yields on  mortgage-backed  securities  and interest  bearing
securities and FHLB stock were 6.52% and 7.01%, respectively during fiscal 1998,
compared to 6.67% and 7.02%, respectively, during fiscal 1997.

         Interest  Expense.  Interest  expense  increased  by  $619,000 to $19.3
million  during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998  compared to $18.7  million
during  fiscal 1997.  Interest  paid on deposits  increased by $99,000 due to an
increase of $2.8  million in average  deposit  balance  which more than offset a
decrease  in the rate paid from 4.84% to 4.83%.  Interest  on Federal  Home Loan
Bank advances increased by $545,000 as average balances outstanding increased by
$9.1 million and the average  rate paid on advances  also  increased  from 5.74%
during fiscal 1997 to 5.77% during fiscal 1998.

         Provision  for Loan Losses.  During the year ended March 31, 1998,  the
Company  recorded a provision  for loan losses of $177,050  compared to $113,256
for the year ended March 31, 1997.  Net charge offs amounted to $330,000  during
fiscal 1998 compared to $225,000 during fiscal 1997. Asset quality,  as measured
by  non-performing  loans to total loans,  improved  significantly  for the year
ended March 31, 1998  compared to the prior year.  The ratios of  non-performing
loans to total  loans was 0.40% at March  31,  1998 and 2.16% at March 31,  1997
respectively.  The allowance for losses, as a ratio to total loans, was 0.87% at
March 31, 1998  compared to 1.00% at March 31, 1997. At March 31, 1998 and 1997,
the  allowance  for loan  losses as a  percentage  of  non-performing  loans was
216.58% and 46.31%, respectively.
<PAGE>
         Other Income.  Other income increased by $468,000 to $2,092,000  during
the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998.  This represents an increase of 28.8% over
fiscal 1997.  Service charges increased by $144,000 and profit on sale of loans,
securities and real estate owned increased by $193,000.  Commissions on the sale
of investment and insurance products  increased by $68,000.  Earnings from other
sources were up by $63,000 during fiscal 1998.

         Other Expense.  The Company's other expense  decreased by $1.54 million
from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998. The decrease is primarily  attributable  to the
aforementioned  $1.77 million SAIF  assessment.  Salaries and employee  benefits
increased  $224,000 or 5.2%.  The majority of this increase is  attributable  to
increased expense associated with the Company's ESOP and restricted stock awards
programs.

         Income Tax Provision.  The Company's income tax provision  increased by

       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.  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
</TABLE>

         In  accordance  with the  Company's  classification  of assets  policy,
management periodically evaluates the loan and investment portfolios 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  property acquired in settlement of foreclosed loans which
are carried at the lower of cost or estimated  fair value less estimated cost to
sell. Other assets include other repossessed assets.

</TABLE>
        At  March  31,  1999  the Bank  had no  non-performing  assets  with an
outstanding  balance in excess of $100,000.  This compares to one non-performing
asset at March 31, 1998 that had a balance in excess of $100,000.

         Non-accruing Loans. As of March 31, 1999, the Bank had $818,000 in book
value of  non-accruing  loans compared to $911,000 as of March 31, 1998. For the
year ended March 31, 1999,  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 $65,000.  The amount that was included in interest  income on
such loans was $21,000 for the year ended March 31, 1999.

         Real Estate Owned.  At March 31, 1999, the Bank's real estate  acquired
through foreclosure totaled $112,000.

         Other Loans of Concern.  In addition to the  non-performing  assets set
forth in the table above,  as of March 31, 1999,  there was an aggregate of $7.3
million of loans  which  management  is closely  monitoring  for the  borrowers'
ability to comply with current repayment terms compared to $3.2 million at March
31, 1998. Management believes it has taken a conservative approach in evaluating

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 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, 1999, the Company's total interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing
within one year exceeded total interest-earning  assets maturing or repricing in
the same period by $18.4 million,  representing a negative  cumulative  one-year
gap ratio of 3.74% of total assets.  The Company relies on certain  assumptions,
such  as the  amount  and  timing  of loan  prepayments,  among  others,  in the

                                                                              17

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,  1999  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, 1999 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.

         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 materially change if interest rates change
significantly or if alternative  savings/investment  products become attractive.
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.  The  Office of Thrift
Supervision  ("OTS")  requires the Bank to calculate the estimated change in its
net portfolio  value ("NPV")  assuming an  instantaneous,  parallel shift in the
Treasury  yield curve either up or down.  NPV  represents the sum of future cash
flows  discounted to present value.  The OTS permits the Bank to utilize the OTS
model to  determine  the  impact of  parallel  and  instantaneous  shifts in the
Treasury  yields curve.  While the OTS model uses data  submitted by the Bank to
the OTS, many of the assumptions  imbedded in the model, such as loan prepayment
rates and deposit decay rates,  are  determined by the OTS. The following  table
sets forth the Bank's  interest rate  sensitivity of NPV as of March 31, 1999 as
calculated by the OTS (dollars in 000's):

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) equal to at least
4.0%  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 the Bank 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, 1999, the amount of the
Bank's liquidity was $142.4 million, resulting in a liquidity ratio of 40.48%.

         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.

                                                                              19

         The Bank  principally  uses its  liquidity  resources  to meet  ongoing
commitments,  to fund maturing  certificates of deposit and deposit withdrawals,
to  purchase  securities,  to fund  existing  and future  loan  commitments,  to
maintain liquidity,  and to meet operating expenses. At March 31, 1999, the Bank
had  approximately  $2.2  million of loan  commitments  and an  additional  $4.9
million of undisbursed 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 one year or less at
March  31,  1999  totaled  $117.9  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, 1999, these assets accounted for 90.8%
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, 1999, the Bank had outstanding borrowings of $96.5 million
from the FHLB and had the capacity to borrow up to a total of approximately $200
million.

         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 the  Notes 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, 1999 and 1998 and the consolidated statements of income, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period  ended March 31,
1999.  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,  1999  and  1998,  and the  results  of their
operations  and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
March 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The accounting and financial  reporting  policies of Permanent Bancorp,
Inc. (the  "Company") and its  subsidiary,  Permanent  Federal Savings Bank (the
"Bank"),  conform to generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and  reporting
practices  followed by thrift holding companies.  The more significant  policies
are described below.

         Basis of Presentation - The consolidated  financial  statements include
the accounts of the Company and the Bank which is wholly owned.  All significant
intercompany  balances  and  transactions  have  been  eliminated.  The  Company
operates as a single business segment.

         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.

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

         Securities  Available  for  Sale  and  Securities  Held to  Maturity  -
Securities are classified and accounted for as follows:

         o        Debt  securities  that the Company has the positive intent and
                  ability  to  hold to  maturity  are  classified  as  "held  to
                  maturity  securities"  and  reported at amortized  cost.  Debt
                  securities  classified  as held to  maturity  and sold  within
                  three  months of their  expected  maturity  or call  dates are
                  considered maturities of the securities.  Similarly,  the sale
                  of  held to  maturity  debt  securities  occurring  after  the
                  Company has collected at least 85% of the principal originally
                  acquired is considered a maturity of the security.

         o        Debt  and  equity   securities  that  are  acquired  and  held
                  principally  for the purpose of selling  them in the near term
                  are  classified as "trading  securities"  and reported at fair
                  value with  unrealized  gains and losses included in earnings.
                  The Company has not held trading  securities  during the three
                  years ended March 31, 1999.

         o        Debt and equity  securities  not  classified as either held to
                  maturity or trading  securities  are  classified as "available
                  for  sale   securities"   and  reported  at  fair  value  with
                  unrealized gains and losses, after applicable taxes,  excluded
                  from  earnings  and  reported  as  a  separate   component  of
                  stockholders' equity.

         Premiums and discounts are amortized over the contractual  lives of the
related  securities  using the level yield  method.  Gains or losses on sales of
securities are based on the specific identification method.
<PAGE>
         As  discussed   below,   SFAS  No.  133,   "Accounting  For  Derivative
Investments,"  permitted a one time transfer of securities previously classified
as held to maturity into the available for sale category. On October 1, 1998 the
Company transferred  mortgage-backed securities previously classified as held to
maturity to the available  for sale  category at fair value.  At the time of the
transfer these  securities had an amortized cost of $16,113,992 and a fair value
of $16,324,314.

         Other Investments - The Bank,  through a subsidiary,  has an investment
in an insurance company  partnership which underwrites various types of life and
disability insurance and annuity programs.  The investment is recorded using the
equity method.

         Loans - Loans are reported at their  outstanding  principal balance net
of the  allowance  for loan losses and any deferred  fees or costs on originated
loans.  Deferred loan fees and origination costs are amortized and recognized as
an adjustment of yield over the life of the loan.

                                                                              27
<PAGE>
         The Bank originates  loans for portfolio  investment or for sale in the
secondary market.  During the loan origination  period,  loans are designated as
held for sale or  portfolio  investment.  Loans held for sale are carried at the
lower of cost or market, determined on an individual loan basis.

         Allowance for Losses - The balance in the allowance for loan losses and
the amount of the provision for loan losses 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,  collateral  values  and  other  factors.  While
management  endeavors  to use the  best  information  available  in  making  the
evaluations,  future  allowance  adjustments  may be necessary.  Management  may
periodically  allocate  portions of the  allowance  for  specific  problem  loan
situations  although 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  uncollectable,  although  collection  efforts  continue  and future
recoveries may occur.

         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.

         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 - When  property is  acquired,  it is recorded at the
lower  of cost or  estimated  fair  value at the  date of  acquisition  less any
estimated  selling  costs 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.  Loans  secured by
property  for which there is an  indication  that the  borrower has little or no
equity in the collateral based upon the current fair value of the collateral, no
longer has the ability to repay the loan and it is doubtful  that equity will be
rebuilt in the foreseeable  future are classified as in-substance  foreclosures.
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 assets acquired.  Goodwill
is amortized over the life of the underlying net assets or liabilities that give
rise to it but not more than fifteen years.  Impairment of goodwill results in a
charge to expense. Amortization expense for the years ended March 31, 1999, 1998
and  1997  was  $602,682,  $167,036  and  $218,603,  respectively.  Goodwill  of
$9,357,000  and $453,000,  net of  accumulated  amortization  of $2,483,000  and
$1,909,000,  is  included  in Other  Assets in the  Consolidated  Statements  of
Financial Condition at March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998, respectively.

         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.

         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.  The Company and the Bank
file consolidated income tax returns.

         New Accounting  Pronouncements - In June 1998 the Financial  Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,  "Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments,"
which establishes  accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments
including  derivative  instruments  embedded in  financial  instruments  and for
hedging.  The Company  adopted this statement on October 1, 1998 and, except for
the   reclassification   of  securities   from  the   held-to-maturity   to  the
available-for-sale  category noted above,  the adoption of this statement had no
significant  impact on the  financial  condition,  results of operations or cash
flows of the Company.

         SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information"  became  effective  during the current fiscal year. The Company has
determined  that it operates as a single  segment which is community  banking.At
March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Bank had assets of approximately $493.7 million and
$437.7 million,  or 100% and 99.7% of  consolidated  assets,  respectively.  Net
income of the Bank for the three  years  ended  March 31,  1999 was  $3,074,000,
$2,706,000 and $1,253,000 or 108%, 102% and 96% of  consolidated  net income for
fiscal years 1999,  1998 and 1997.  Net interest  income at the Bank for each of
the three years ended March 31, 1999 exceeded 98% of  consolidated  net interest
income.

         Earnings per Share - In 1998 the Company adopted SFAS 128 "Earnings per
Share" and has  retroactively  restated 1997 per share  amounts.  The difference
between basic and diluted  earnings per share  represents the dilutive impact of
the Company's  outstanding  stock options.  The following is a reconciliation of
the weighted  average common shares for the basic and diluted earnings per share
computations:

         Acquisitions  - On June 26,  1998 the  Company  acquired  deposits  and
certain  assets  of four  branch  banking  locations  from NBD Bank,  N.A.  in a
purchase  transaction.  The operating results of the acquired branches have been
consolidated  since  the  acquisition  date.  As a result of the  purchase,  the
Company acquired $79.1 million of deposits,  $43.6 million of loans, $900,000 of
office  properties  and  equipment  and  received  cash of  approximately  $26.9
million. The purchase created approximately $9.5 million of goodwill.

         On May 19, 1997 the Company acquired in a purchase transaction a branch
facility which included $5.7 million of deposit liabilities,  $838,000 of office
properties and equipment and $30,000 of other assets.  This transaction  created
approximately $294,000 of goodwill.

         Pro forma  information is not presented since the  transactions are not
considered significant.

         Changes In  Presentation - Certain items appearing in the 1998 and 1997
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation.

         The   principal   balance  of  loans  on  nonaccrual   status   totaled
approximately  $818,000 and  $911,000 at March 31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.
For the years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,  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 $65,013 and $73,277  respectively.  The
amounts  included in interest  income on such loans were $20,681 and $39,388 for
the years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         The Bank  originates  commercial  real estate  loans.  Such loans had a
carrying value of approximately $32 million and $9 million at March 31, 1999 and
1998,  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,  $3 million and $4
million are  collateralized  by multi-family  residential  property at March 31,
1999 and 1998,  respectively;  and $29 million and $5 million by hotel and other
property at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         The Bank had  commitments to make loans  approximating  $23,421,000 and
$4,886,000 excluding  undisbursed portions of loans in-process at March 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively.

- --------------------------------------------------------   ----------------------------------------------------------
</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 $609,277 and $630,613
at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. For the years ended March 31, 1999 and
1998 loans of $152,383 and $202,444 respectively, were disbursed to officers and
directors  and  repayments  of principal of $173,719 and $248,686  respectively,
were received from officers and directors.

         The  amount  of  loans  serviced  for  others   totaled   approximately
$36,327,537 and $32,468,000 at March 31, 1999 and 1998, 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  $228,391  and  $233,216 at March 31, 1999 and 1998,
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,  1999 and 1998,  these  obligations  were  limited  to
approximately $316,000 and $443,000 respectively.

         Loan servicing fee income for the years ended March 31, 1999,  1998 and
1997 was $81,575, $84,274, and $100,824, respectively.

         There were no  restructured  loans in the Bank's loan  portfolio  as of
March 31,  1999 and 1998.  For the year ended  March 31,  1997,  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.  The amount
included in interest income during 1997 on such loans was $151,000.

         The recorded  investment in loans considered impaired at March 31, 1999
and 1998 was $362,920 and $116,778 for which no specific  valuation  reserve has
been  established.  For the year  ended  March  31,  1999  and 1998 the  average
recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $243,116 and $1,215,012,
respectively.  Cash  received  for  interest on  impaired  loans was $17,039 and
$108,989 for the years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         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  $169 million and $154
million as of March 31, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

         Also,  under   applicable   regulations,   the  loans-to-one   borrower
limitation is defined and is generally 15% of unimpaired  capital which, for the
Bank, was approximately $4.9 million at March 31, 1999 and $5.7 million at March
31,1998.  At March  31,  1999  and  1998  there  were no  loans  exceeding  this
limitation.

<PAGE>
         Fixed rate advances at March 31, 1999 include  $38,500,000  of advances
that have reached the initial  conversion  date and $42,000,000 of advances that
reach the  conversion  date  subsequent  to March 31,  1999.  The terms of these
advances  generally  allow the FHLB to convert the fixed rate advance to a LIBOR
based rate which will  adjust  quarterly.  Once the initial  conversion  date is
reached,  the FHLB may periodically  exercise its option to convert the advance,
generally quarterly.  If the FHLB elects to convert the advance, the Company has
the option to repay the advance without penalty.
The FHLB did not convert any advances in 1999.
                                                                              35

         The Bank has pledged  mortgage  loans and FHLB stock as  collateral  on
these  advances.  The Bank may receive  advances  from the FHLB up to 50% of the
Bank's adjusted assets which was approximately $200 million at March 31, 1999.

7. OTHER LONG-TERM DEBT

         In August 1998 the Company  borrowed  $4,153,875  from an  unaffiliated
bank and utilized the funds to  repurchase  302,100  shares of its common stock.
This debt is secured by the stock of the Bank.

         The rate on the note is  determined  quarterly and is, at the Company's
option, the prime rate or LIBOR plus 180 basis points (1.80%). At March 31, 1999
the rate was 6.80%

         Interest on the debt is payable quarterly. Annual principal payments of
$500,000  commence  February  29, 2000 with a final  payment of any  outstanding
balance  due on August 15,  2003.  Principal  may be repaid at any time  without
penalty and in November 1998 the Company repaid $1,153,875.

         The loan agreement  requires that the Company  maintain defined capital
ratios which generally are those required by regulatory agencies. The Company is
also  required to earn a minimum  return on average  assets of .50% and maintain
defined  asset  quality  ratios.  At March 31, 1999 the Company is in compliance
with the loan agreement.

8. OTHER BORROWED FUNDS

         The Company had no other  borrowed funds at March 31, 1999 or March 31,

         Retained earnings at March 31, 1999 and 1998 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.
                                                                              37

10. 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  discretionary  actions  by
regulators that could have a direct  material effect on the Company'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  classifications are
also subject to  qualitative  judgments by the  regulators.  The Bank's  primary
regulator is the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS").

         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 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. As of March 31, 1999 and 1998, the
most recent notification from the OTS categorizes the Bank as "well capitalized"
under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no events
or conditions since that notification that management  believes have changed the
Bank's category.
         The  following  presents  the  Bank's  minimum  and  "well-capitalized"
regulatory capital levels.

11. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND REGULATORY MATTERS

         Dividend  Restrictions  - Under  current  regulations,  the Bank is not
permitted to pay dividends on its stock if its regulatory  capital would thereby
reduce  below  (i)  the  amount  then  required  for  the  liquidation   account
established  at the time  the Bank  converted  from a  mutual  to stock  form of
ownership  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, 1999. 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 restrictions
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. 12. 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 for the year ended March 31, 1997.
There was no pension expense in 1999 and 1998.

         Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan - The Company  has an  Employee  Stock
Ownership Plan (ESOP) which owns 333,270  shares of the Company's  common stock.
The ESOP  purchase  of the stock was  funded  by a loan from the  Company  (loan
balance of $476,100 and $714,150 at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively) 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  $594,925,
$639,317 and $479,046 during 1999, 1998, and 1997,  respectively.  During fiscal
years ended March 31, 1999,  1998 and 1997,  45,607  shares,  47,688  shares and
49,728 shares were earned by participants. At March 31, 1999, 84,736 shares with
a fair value of approximately  $911,000 were held in suspense by the ESOP. These
shares are not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of computing earning
per share.
                                                                              39
<PAGE>
         Recognition  and  Retention  Plan - The Company has a  Recognition  and
Retention  Plan (RRP) which  provides  executive  officers and employees  with a
proprietary  interest in the  Company in a manner  designed  to  encourage  such
individuals to remain with the Bank.  Restricted  stock awards covering up to 4%
of the common stock issued may be awarded under the RRP.  Awarded stock vests at
a rate of 20% per year. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, and 1998 an
additional  9,000 and 1,000  shares were  awarded.  The cost of the RRP is being
reflected as compensation  expense as vesting occurs. This amounted to $139,200,
$125,242  and $178,070  during the fiscal  years ended March 31, 1999,  1998 and
1997.  Termination  of employees  resulted in 2,866  shares,  2,856 shares 2,428
shares being  canceled  during the fiscal  years ended March 31, 1999,  1998 and
1997 respectively.

         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. Awarded options vest at a rate of 25%
per year and are exercisable in the ten years immediately following the grant.

         The  following is an analysis of stock option  activity for each of the
three  years  in the  period  ending  March  31,  1999  and  the  stock  options
outstanding at the end of the respective years:

         The Company applies APB opinion No. 25 ("Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees")  and  related   interpretations  in  accounting  for  the  plan.  No
compensation  cost has been  recognized  for the plan  because the stock  option
price is equal to the fair value at the grant date.  Had  compensation  cost for
the plan been  determined  based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards
under  the  plan  consistent  with  the  fair  value  method  of  SFAS  No.  123
("Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation"),  the Company's proforma net income
per share would be as follows:

         The fair  value of option  grants  are  estimated  on the date of grant
using an option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yields of
0.96% to 2.64%,  risk-free interest rates of 5.23% to 6.74%, expected volatility
of 18% to 30% and an expected life of five years.  The proforma  amounts are not
representative of the effects on reported net income for future years.

         Deferred  Compensation  (401K)  Plan  - The  Company  has  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 $22,271,  $21,450 and $19,203 during the fiscal years ended
March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

         Directors  Deferred  Compensation  Plan - The  Bank  has  entered  into
deferred  compensation  agreements with certain directors.  Benefits under these
agreements are paid over a  predetermined  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. Cash values
associated with these policies in the amount of $2,926,828 at March 31, 1999 and
$1,625,253  are  included  in Other  Assets in the  Consolidated  Statements  of

14. COMMITMENTS

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

                    Fiscal year ended March 31:
                    ---------------------------

                       2004           112,976
</TABLE>

         Rental  expense for the years ended March 31,  1999,  1998 and 1997 was
$261,022, $79,036 and $70,265, respectively.

         Rental  income from  noncancelable  subleases for the years ended March
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $137,063, $119,306 and $103,306, 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.

         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. 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.  One agreement is in effect until March
31, 2000. Under the terms of the other  agreement,  the Company may be obligated
under terms  specified in the agreement to continue the  officer's  salary for a
period of three years.

         Standby  letters of Credit - Standby  letters of credit are conditional
commitments  issued by the Bank to guarantee the  performance of a customer to a
third party.  Standby  letters of credit amounted to $136,000 at March 31, 1999.

</TABLE>

         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, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, interest
receivable  and payable,  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.

         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.

                                                                              45
<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 fair values of commitments to extend credit are based
on fees  currently  charged  to  enter  into  similar  agreements  with  similar
maturities and interest rates.

         The fair value  estimates  presented  herein  are based on  information
available to  management as of March 31, 1999 and 1998.  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.
