PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
General
Home Bancorp (the "Company") was formed as an Indiana corporation on
December 14, 1993 to act as the holding company for Home Loan Bank fsb (the
"Bank") upon the completion of the Bank's conversion from the mutual to the
stock form (the "Conversion"). The Company received approval from the Office of
Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") to acquire all of the common stock of the Bank to
be outstanding upon completion of the Conversion. The Conversion was completed
on March 29, 1995. All references to the Company, unless otherwise indicated, at
or before March 29, 1995 refer to the Bank. The Company's Common Stock trades on
The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "HBFW".
At September 30, 1997, the Company had $346.0 million of assets and
stockholders' equity of $44.0 million (or 12.7% of total assets).
The Bank was organized under the name Teutonia Building Loan and
Savings Association on March 22, 1893. In November 1993, the Bank converted from
an Indiana building and loan association to an Indiana chartered mutual savings
bank, and in December 1994 converted to a federally chartered mutual savings
bank. On March 29, 1995, upon completion of the Conversion, the Bank converted
from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock
savings bank. The Bank's deposit accounts are insured up to applicable limits by
the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"), which is administered by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). The Bank is a member of
the Federal Home Loan Bank (the "FHLB") System.
The Company's principal business historically has been attracting
deposits from the general public and originating long-term, fixed-rate and
adjustable-rate loans secured primarily by first mortgage liens on one- to
four-family real estate. The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts having
a wide range of interest rates and terms, does not actively solicit or advertise
for deposits outside of northeastern Indiana, particularly Allen and Adams
Counties, and does not accept brokered deposits.
The Company's principal source of revenue is interest income from
lending activities, primarily one- to four-family residential mortgage loans.
The Company's executive office is located at 132 East Berry Street,
P.O. Box 989, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46801-0989, and its telephone number is (219)
422-3502.
When used in this Form 10-K or future filings by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press releases or other
public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the
approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "will likely
result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate",
"project", "believe" or similar expressions are intended to identify
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company wishes to caution readers not to
place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as
of the date made, and to advise readers that various factors, including regional
and national economic conditions, changes in the levels of market interest
<PAGE>
rates, credit risks of lending activities, and competitive and regulatory
factors, could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the
Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from those
anticipated or projected.
The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any
obligation, to publicly release the result of revisions which may be made to
forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or
unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
Market Area
The Company's market area is currently northeastern Indiana, primarily
Allen and Adams Counties. The Company serves its market area through eight bank
offices in Allen County and a single bank office in Adams County.
Fort Wayne, the county seat for Allen County, is located 118 miles
northeast of Indianapolis and is situated in the center of an approximately 160
mile radius hub consisting of Chicago, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Columbus, and
Cincinnati. Allen County has a broad mix of large employers which provides a
relatively stable local business climate during recessionary times. Allen County
has 25 employers with 1,000 or more employees, ranging from communications to
education to medical care to manufacturing. Allen County's largest employer is
Fort Wayne Community Schools with 4,101 employees. Lincoln National Corporation,
the parent company of Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, has approximately
3,672 employees and is headquartered in Fort Wayne. The third largest employer
is Parkview Hospital. The fourth largest employer is the General Motors Truck
and Bus Group which in 1986 established a state-of-the-art manufacturing
facility in Allen County which produces full-size C/K pick-up trucks. The GM
facility currently employs 3,194 people.
Lending Activities
General. The Company historically has concentrated its lending
activities on the origination of loans secured by first mortgage liens for the
purchase, construction or refinancing of one- to four-family residential real
property. These loans continue to be the major focus of the Company's loan
origination activities, representing 96.3% of the Company's total loan portfolio
at September 30, 1997 (including one- to four-family residential construction
loans). The Company also originates a limited amount of commercial real estate
loans secured by owner-occupied property, and a limited number of consumer
loans, primarily in the form of home equity loans. These commercial real estate
loans and consumer loans constituted approximately 0.6% and 3.1%, respectively,
of the Bank's total loan portfolio at September 30, 1997.
All loans must be approved by three members of the Bank's six-person
loan committee consisting of the President, the Vice President of Lending, three
other officers, and one outside director. The loan committee and all loan
officers meet weekly and each loan officer presents his or her loans for
approval. Occasionally, a unique or high principal loan will be presented, at
the discretion of management, to the Bank's Board of Directors for review.
<PAGE>
The Bank's regulatory lending limit for loans-to-one-borrower is equal
to the greater of $500,000 or 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 September 30,
1997, the Bank's lending limit under this restriction was $5.4 million. The
Bank's largest lending relationship was a first lien residential loan mortgage
loan of $793,118. There were only two other lending relationships in excess of
$500,000 as of September 30, 1997, both of which consisted of one- to
four-family residential loans. All of these loans were performing in accordance
with their repayment terms.
Loan Portfolio Data. The following table sets forth the composition of
the Company's loan portfolio by loan type as of the dates indicated, including a
reconciliation of gross loans receivable after consideration of the allowance
for loan losses, deferred net loan fees, and loans in process.

</TABLE>
One- to Four-Family Residential Mortgage Loans. The Company's
residential mortgage loans consist primarily of one- to four-family,
owner-occupied mortgage loans. Approximately $281.8 million, or 96.3%, of the
Company's loan portfolio at September 30, 1997 consisted of one- to four-family
residential mortgage loans. A significant portion, approximately 75% at
September 30, 1997, of the Company's one- to four-family residential mortgage
loans provide for fixed rates of interest and for repayment of principal over a
fixed period of 10, 15 or 20 years. The Company does not make fixed rate loans
exceeding 30 years. The Company's one- to four-family residential mortgage loans
have normally remained outstanding for shorter periods than provided for by
their contractual terms. The average life of such loans varies from year to year
with changes in interest rates, but management believes it is generally
significantly less than the full term of the loans. While the Company's
fixed-rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans are priced at rates
close to its competitors' rates, the Company competes for loan customers
somewhat more on the basis of quality of service and somewhat less on the basis
of pricing.
The Company underwrites all its fixed rate one- to four-family
residential mortgage loans to Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA")
standards so that they may be sold in the secondary market. The Company holds
for investment all fixed rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans
with terms of 20 years or less and, in 1991, began selling all of its 30-year
fixed rate loans in the secondary market. As of September 30, 1997, the Company
had no fixed-rate loans with remaining terms in excess of 20 years. The Company
retains the servicing on all loans it sells. See "-Originations and Sale of
Loans." Management feels that this strategy improves liquidity and enables the
Company to better manage its interest rate risk. See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Asset/Liability
Management" contained in the Annual Report to Stockholders attached as Exhibit
13 to this document (the "Annual Report").
<PAGE>
The Company also offers adjustable rate loan products that reprice as
frequently as every year or can be fixed for a term of up to seven years and
adjust annually thereafter. Currently originated adjustable rate mortgage
("ARM") loans that reprice annually are indexed to the one-year U.S. Treasury
securities yield with a margin of 2 3/4% above such index. In addition, the
maximum rate adjustment per year and over the life of the loan is 2% and 6%,
respectively. The Company also originates loans which are fixed for three, five
and seven years, respectively, which convert to a one year ARM indexed to the
one-year U.S. Treasury thereafter. These products have annual caps of 2% and
lifetime caps of 6%. ARMs are underwritten for terms up to 30 years. At
September 30, 1997, the Company's one- to four-family ARM portfolio totaled
$56.5 million, or 19.3% of the Company's gross loan portfolio.
Substantially all of the one- to four-family residential mortgage loans
that the Company originates include "due-on-sale" clauses, which give the
Company the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event
that, among other things, the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the real
property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid.
The Company does not currently originate mortgage loans if the ratio of
the loan amount to the value of the property securing the loan (i.e., the
"loan-to-value" ratio) exceeds 95%. In the event that the amount of a mortgage
loan exceeds 80% of the value of the real estate and improvements, the Company
requires that borrowers obtain private mortgage insurance in amounts intended to
reduce the Company's exposure to 80% or less of the appraised value of the real
estate and improvements or the purchase price of the underlying collateral. The
Company's mortgage lending is subject to loan origination procedures prescribed
by its Board of Directors. See "- Origination and Sale of Loans."
The Company makes fixed-rate and adjustable-rate construction loans to
finance the construction of one- to four-family residences. These loans are made
to borrowers working with licensed contractors or builders with an established
credit history confirmed through the National Association of Credit Management
and/or with membership in local home builders associations. The Company also
makes builder "spec" loans to the aforementioned types of contractors and
builders, generally with no one builder having more than three such loans
outstanding at any one time. The money borrowed under the mortgage is disbursed
through four draws. Draws occur after the foundation is laid, after roofing and
flatwork is completed, after dry-walling is completed, and after full completion
of the residence. An occupancy permit is required before the Company releases
the final disbursement. There are also inspections before each disbursement. In
the case of builder "spec" loans, upon completion of the residence, the
mortgagor/owner-occupier assumes a residential mortgage loan with the Company.
The Company requires that all builder "spec" loans have personal guarantees from
the principal and his or her spouse.
Loans to individuals for the construction of their residences are
structured to be permanent loans, with an initial construction phase which
typically runs up to six months. These loans have rates and terms which are
consistent with those of other one- to four-family mortgage loans offered by the
Company, except that 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, with the
exception that the maximum loan-to-value ratio of owner occupied single family
construction loans is 90%.
<PAGE>
At September 30, 1997, $11.8 million, or 4.0%, of the Company's loan
portfolio consisted of construction loans. Although no construction loans were
classified as non-performing as of September 30, 1997, these loans do involve a
higher level of risk than conventional one- to four-family residential mortgage
loans. For example, if a project is not completed and the borrower defaults, the
Company may have to hire another contractor to complete the project at a higher
cost. Also, a house may be completed but may not be marketable, resulting in the
borrower defaulting and the Company taking title to the house.
Commercial Real Estate Loans. At September 30, 1997, $1.9 million, or
0.6%, of the Company's loan portfolio consisted of commercial real estate loans,
the largest of which was $400,000 secured by a mortgage loan on a church. All
commercial real estate loans are secured by owner-occupied, non-residential real
estate, such as small office buildings or churches. The Company underwrites
these loans on a case-by-case basis and, in addition to its normal mortgage
underwriting criteria, the Company will evaluate the borrower's ability to
service the debt from the net operating income of the property. As of September
30, 1997, no commercial real estate loans were included in non-performing assets
or classified as substandard.
Consumer Loans. The Company originates consumer loans secured by liens
on real estate, including home improvement and home equity line of credit loans,
as well as deposit secured loans. At September 30, 1997, $8.9 million, or 3.1%,
of the Company's loan portfolio consisted of consumer loans. Substantially all
of the Company's consumer loans were secured by real estate at September 30,
1997.
The Company's home equity line of credit loans, the largest component
of the Company's consumer loan portfolio, are transactional accounts with a
maximum line of credit and with a minimum disbursement amount. Equity lines of
credit are not tied to a borrower's regular checking account. They are currently
priced at 1.5% above the prime rate of interest and are adjustable quarterly. In
addition, the equity lines of credit currently have a lifetime cap of 15.9%. The
minimum and maximum amounts that can be borrowed under a home equity line of
credit are $5,000 and $100,000, respectively, provided that maximum
loan-to-value ratios relating to debt secured by the residence are not exceeded.
These maximum loan-to-value ratios are 85% if the Company is the first mortgagee
and 80% if another financial institution is the first mortgagee.
Consumer loans generally involve a higher level of credit risk than
one- to four-family residential mortgage loans because of the type and nature of
the collateral and, in certain cases, the absence of collateral. These risks are
not as prevalent in the case of the Company's consumer loan portfolio because of
the high percentage of home improvement loans and home equity lines of credit
secured by real estate and underwritten in a manner such that they result in a
lending risk substantially similar to single-family residential loans.
Furthermore, their relatively higher yields and shorter terms to maturity are
believed to be helpful in reducing the interest-rate risk of the Company's loan
portfolio and in broadening the Company's lending services. As of September 30,
1997, no consumer loans were included in non-performing assets.
Origination and Sale of Loans. Loan originations come from a number of
sources. One- to four-family residential mortgage loan originations are
attributable primarily to existing and walk-in customers, print and newspaper
advertisement and to referrals from real estate brokers. Loan applications are
taken by loan officers at all of the Company's branches and its main office.
Consumer and commercial loans are also obtained from the above sources,
especially existing customers and other direct contacts with the Company.
<PAGE>
The Company's loan approval process is intended to assess the
borrower's ability to repay the loan. To do this, the Company studies the
borrower's employment, credit history and information on the historical and
projected income and expenses of its potential mortgagors.
The Company's loan approval process also assesses, in addition to the
prospective borrower's ability to repay, the adequacy of the property as
collateral for the loan requested. All loans must be approved by three members
of the Bank's six-person loan committee consisting of the President, the Vice
President of Lending, three other officers, and one outside director. The loan
committee and all loan officers meet weekly and each loan officer presents his
or her loans for approval. Occasionally, and at the discretion of management, a
unique or high principal loan will be presented to the Bank's Board of Directors
for review.
Property appraisals on the real estate and improvements securing the
Company's one- to four-family residential mortgage loans are made by independent
appraisers approved by the Bank's Board of Directors. The appraisers inspect
properties in the process of construction before disbursements of construction
loan proceeds are authorized. The Company obtains either a title insurance
policy or an abstract of title and opinion of counsel on all mortgage real
estate loans, and borrowers also must obtain hazard insurance and, if
applicable, flood insurance prior to closing. The Company generally escrows
hazard insurance premiums, mortgage insurance premiums and real estate taxes.
The borrower is required to make escrow payments on a monthly basis with each
payment of principal and interest.
The Company originates all its fixed rate mortgage loans in conformity
with the standard criteria of the FNMA. In fiscal 1991, the Company began
selling all its fixed rate mortgage loans with terms of 30 years in the
secondary market. It retains servicing, however, on all the loans it sells. The
Company does not package mortgages or participations. As of September 30, 1997,
the Company was servicing $2.5 million of loans sold in the secondary market.
The balance of loans serviced is relatively low because the Company has only
sold longer term loans since 1991 and it does not aggressively market 30-year
fixed rate loan products. Due to the limited amount of longer-term loans
originated by the Company, it does not hedge these loans or have a hedging
policy in place.
Although the Company currently has authority to lend anywhere in the
United States, it has confined its loan origination activities to northeastern
Indiana, primarily Allen and Adams Counties. At September 30, 1997, the
Company's entire loan portfolio was secured by property located within the State
of Indiana.

Non-Performing and Problem Assets
Savings banks identify problem assets in several categories, including
accruing loans delinquent more than 90 days, non-accruing loans, troubled debt
restructurings, and real estate acquired through foreclosure, also called real
estate owned or "REO." At September 30, 1997, only $223,000 of the Company's
assets were so classified, which represented .06% of the Company's total assets.
Mortgage loans are reviewed by the Company on a regular basis and may
be placed on non-accrual status when they display a higher than acceptable level
of risk. This occurs when a loan is deemed inadequately protected (either by the
underlying collateral or by the paying capacity and/or net worth of the
borrower) to an extent that makes collectability of interest less probable or
the collection of principal in full doubtful. Mortgage loans are put on
<PAGE>
non-accrual status when they are 90 days delinquent (60 days for loans less than
one year old), but only if the loan balance equals or exceeds the value of the
property. Generally, when a loan is placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued
interest is written off and further income with respect to the loan is only
recognized to the extent cash is received. When principal repayment is deemed
doubtful, the loan is written off.
The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of the
Company's non-performing assets. It is the policy of the Company that earned but
uncollected interest on all loans be reviewed monthly to determine if any
portion thereof should be classified as uncollectible for any loan past due in
excess of 90 days.

When a borrower fails to make a required payment after a fifteen-day
grace period, the Company attempts to cause the borrower to cure the deficiency
by corresponding with the borrower. A late notice is sent to the borrower and a
phone call to the borrower is also made. Deficiencies are cured promptly in most
cases; however, if continued trouble exists, the Company will make house visits
to the borrower. If it is determined after this that the deficiency cannot be
cured, the Company normally gives notice of and then institutes appropriate
legal action, such as foreclosure.
As of September 30, 1997, there were no loans which were not included
in the table above where known information about the possible credit problems of
borrowers caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the
borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in
disclosure of such loans in the future.
Classified assets. Federal regulations provide for the classification
of loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered by the
OTS to be of lesser quality, as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss." An asset is
considered "substandard" if it is inadequately protected by the current net
worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.
"Substandard" assets include those characterized by the "distinct possibility"
that the insured institution will sustain "some loss" if the deficiencies are
not corrected. Assets classified as "doubtful" have all of the weaknesses
inherent in those classified "substandard," with the added characteristic that
the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in full," on the basis of
currently existing facts, conditions, and values, "highly questionable and
improbable." Assets classified as "loss" are those considered "uncollectible"
and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the
establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.
<PAGE>
An insured institution is required to establish general allowances for
loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management for loans classified
substandard or doubtful, as well as for other problem loans. 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 the amount 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 OTS and the FDIC, which may order the
establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.
In connection with its classification of asset policy, the Company
regularly reviews its loan portfolio to determine whether any loans require
classification. At September 30, 1997, the aggregate amount of the Company's
classified assets, and of the Company's general and specific loss allowances,
were as follows:

</TABLE>
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained through the provision for
loan losses, which is charged to earnings. The provision is determined in
conjunction with management's review and evaluation of current economic
conditions (including those of the Company's lending area), changes in the
character and size of the loan portfolio, loan delinquencies (current status as
well as past and anticipated trends) and adequacy of collateral securing loan
delinquencies, historical and estimated net charge-offs, and other pertinent
information derived from a review of the loan portfolio. Real estate properties
acquired through foreclosure are recorded at fair value. If the fair value at
the date of foreclosure is lower than the balance of the related loan, the
difference will be charged-off to the allowance for loan losses at the time of
transfer. Valuations are periodically updated by management and if the value
less estimated disposition costs is less than the carrying value a specific
provision for losses on such property is established by a charge to operations.
<PAGE>
Although management believes that it uses the best information
available to determine the allowance, unforeseen market conditions could result
in adjustments and net earnings could be significantly affected if circumstances
differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the final
determination. Future additions to the Company's allowance will be the result of
periodic loan, property and collateral reviews and thus cannot be predicted in
advance. See Notes 1 and 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
the Annual Report. In management's opinion, the Company's allowance for loan
losses is adequate to absorb probable future losses from loans at September 30,
1997.

Investments
The Bank 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 above levels believed adequate to meet the requirements of normal
operations, including potential deposit outflows. Cash flow projections are
regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity is maintained.
At September 30, 1997, the Bank's liquidity ratio (liquid assets as a percentage
of net withdrawable savings deposits and current borrowings) was 16.0%.
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 investment grade
commercial paper and corporate debt securities and mutual funds whose assets
conform to the investments that a federally chartered savings institution is
otherwise authorized to make directly.
<PAGE>
The Company's investment policy, which was established by the Board of
Directors and is implemented by the President, is designed primarily to provide
and maintain liquidity within federal regulatory guidelines, to maintain a
balance of high quality investments to minimize risk, and to maximize return
without sacrificing liquidity and safety. The Company restricts its investments
to the following six types of investments: (i) U.S. Treasury Bills, (ii) U.S.
Treasury Notes, (iii) U.S. Treasury and Agency Bonds, (iv) federal funds up to a
maximum of $2 million per commercial bank, (v) FHLB of Indianapolis time
deposits, and (vi) certificates of deposit of $1 million per commercial bank. At
September 30, 1997, the Company had an outstanding balance of $38.1 million in
investment securities (excluding FHLB stock) with a weighted average yield of
6.75%.

At September 30, 1997, the Company's investment securities portfolio
contained neither tax-exempt securities nor securities of any issuer with an
aggregate book value in excess of 10% of the Company's stockholders' equity,
excluding those issued by the United States Government or its agencies.
Sources Of Funds
General. Deposits have traditionally been the Company's primary source
of funds for use in lending and investment activities. In addition to deposits,
the Company derives funds from loan amortization, prepayments, retained earnings
and income on earning assets. While loan amortization and income on earning
assets are relatively stable sources of funds, deposit inflows and outflows can
vary widely and are influenced by prevailing interest rates, market conditions
and levels of competition. Borrowings from the FHLB of Indianapolis may be used
in the short-term to compensate for reductions in deposits or deposit inflows at
less than projected levels. The Company has rarely borrowed on a long term
basis.
Deposits. Deposits are attracted, principally from within northeastern
Indiana, particularly Allen and Adams Counties, through the offering of a broad
selection of deposit instruments including NOW and other transaction accounts,
fixed-rate certificates of deposit, individual retirement accounts, and savings
accounts. The Company does not actively solicit or advertise for deposits
outside of northeastern Indiana, particularly Allen and Adams Counties, and it
does not accept brokered deposits. Substantially all of the Company's depositors
are residents of northeastern Indiana, particularly Allen and Adams Counties.
Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the minimum
balance required, the amount of time the funds remain on deposit and the
interest rate.
The Company has maintained its deposit base, estimated as of September
30, 1997, at approximately 7.0% and 8.5% of the market among each of Allen and
Adams Counties' banks and savings associations.
Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal
penalties are established by the Company on a periodic basis. Determination of
rates and terms are predicated on funds, acquisition and liquidity requirements,
rates paid by competitors, growth goals and federal regulations. The Company
relies, in part, on customer service and long-standing relationships with
customers to attract and retain its deposits, but also competitively prices its
deposits in relation to rates offered by its competitors. For information
relating to the average balance of and rates paid on the Company's deposits by
category, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields" in the
Annual Report.

Borrowings. The Company focuses on generating high quality loans and
then seeks the best source of funding from deposits, investments or borrowings.
In the past, the Company has occasionally obtained short-term borrowings from
the FHLB of Indianapolis. There are regulatory restrictions on advances from the
FHLBs. See "Regulation - Federal Home Loan Bank System." These limitations are
not expected to have any impact on the Company's ability to borrow from the FHLB
of Indianapolis. At September 30, 1997, the Company had no borrowings
outstanding and it has not had borrowings outstanding since 1984. The Company
does not anticipate any difficulty in obtaining advances appropriate to meet its
requirements in the future.
Regulation
General. The Bank 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 Company 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 ("Federal Reserve
Board"). As the savings and loan holding company of the Bank, the Company also
is subject to federal regulation and oversight. The purpose of the regulation of
the Company and other holding companies is to protect subsidiary savings
associations. The Bank is a member of the Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF"), which together with the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") are the two
deposit insurance funds administered by the FDIC, 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
examination of the Bank was as of March 31, 1997. When these examinations are
conducted by the OTS, the examiners may require the Company to provide for
higher general or specific loan loss reserves. 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. The Bank's OTS assessment for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, was approximately $82,000.
<PAGE>
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 it is prohibited from engaging in any
activities not permitted by such laws. 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 establish branch offices 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 the greater of $500,000 or 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
September 30, 1997, the Company's lending limit under this restriction was $5.4
million. 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 such matters as loan
underwriting and documentation, asset quality, earnings standards, internal
controls and audit systems, interest rate risk exposure and compensation and
other employee benefits. Any institution which fails to comply with these
standards must submit a compliance plan. A failure to submit a plan or to comply
with an approved plan will subject the institution to further enforcement
action.
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 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. The current assessment rates range from .00%
to .27% of deposits.
<PAGE>
The FDIC is authorized to increase assessment rates, on a semiannual
basis, if it determines that the reserve ratio of the SAIF or the BIF, as the
case may be, will be less than the designated reserve ratio of 1.25% of SAIF or
BIF insured deposits, respectively. 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.
Prior to the enactment of legislation recapitalizing the SAIF in 1996,
a portion of the SAIF assessment imposed on savings associations was used to
repay obligations issued by a federally chartered corporation to provide
financing ("FICO") for resolving the thrift crisis in the 1980s. Although the
legislation also now requires assessments to be made on BIF-assessable deposits
for this purpose, effective January 1, 1997, that assessment was limited to 20%
of the rate imposed on SAIF assessable deposits until the earlier of December
31, 1999 or when no savings association continues to exist, thereby imposing a
greater burden on SAIF member institutions such as the Bank. Thereafter,
however, assessments on BIF-member institutions will be made on the same basis
as SAIF-member institutions. The rates established by the FDIC to implement this
requirement for all FDIC-insured institutions during calendar year 1997 was 6.30
basis points assessment on SAIF deposits and 1.26 basis points on BIF deposits
until BIF insured institutions participate fully in the assessment.
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 September 30, 1997, the Bank did not have any intangible
assets.
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. At September 30,
1997, the Bank did not have any subsidiaries.
At September 30, 1997, the Bank had tangible capital of $33.2 million,
or 9.85% of adjusted total assets, which is approximately $28.2 million above
the minimum requirement of 1.5% of adjusted total assets in effect on that date.
The capital standards also require core capital equal to at least 3% of
adjusted total assets. Core capital generally consists of tangible capital plus
certain intangible assets, including a limited amount of purchased credit card
<PAGE>
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 September 30, 1997, the
Bank had no intangibles which were subject to these tests.
At September 30, 1997, the Bank had core capital equal to $33.2
million, or 9.85% of adjusted total assets, which is $23.1 million above the
minimum leverage ratio requirement of 3% as in effect on that date.
The OTS risk-based requirement requires savings associations to have
total capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets. Total capital consists of
core capital, as defined above, and supplementary capital. Supplementary capital
consists of certain permanent and maturing capital instruments that do not
qualify as core capital and general valuation loan and lease loss allowances up
to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Supplementary capital may be used
to satisfy the risk-based requirement only to the extent of core capital. The
OTS is also authorized to require a savings association to maintain an
additional amount of total capital to account for concentration of credit risk
and the risk of non-traditional activities. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had
no capital instruments that qualify as supplementary capital and $1.4 million of
general loss reserves, which was less than 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. The Bank had no such
exclusions from capital and assets at September 30, 1997.
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.
On September 30, 1997, the Bank had total capital of $34.6 million
(including $33.2 million in core capital) and risk-weighted assets of $161.8
million (with $4.9 million of converted off-balance sheet assets); or total
capital of 21.38% of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $21.7 million above
the 8% requirement in effect on that date.
<PAGE>
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, and in respect to institutions
whose capital is further depleted, required to impose additional restrictions
that can affect all aspects of the institution's operations. 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.
The imposition by the OTS or the FDIC of any of these measures on the
Company or the Bank may have a substantial adverse effect on the Company's
operations and profitability. Company shareholders do not have preemptive
rights, and therefore, if the 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 on savings associations with respect to
their ability to make distributions of capital, which include dividends, stock
redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers and other transactions charged to
the capital account. OTS regulations also prohibit a savings association from
declaring or paying any dividends or from repurchasing any of its stock if, as a
result, the regulatory capital of the association would be reduced below the
amount required to be maintained for the liquidation account established in
connection with its mutual to stock conversion.
Generally, savings associations, such as the 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.
The Bank may pay dividends in accordance with this general authority.
Savings associations proposing to make any capital distribution need
only submit written notice to the OTS 30 days prior to such distribution.
Savings associations that do not, or would not meet their current minimum
capital requirements following a proposed capital distribution, however, must
obtain OTS approval prior to making such distribution. The OTS may object to the
distribution during that 30-day period notice based on safety and soundness
concerns. See "- Regulatory Capital Requirements."
<PAGE>
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." 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 September 30, 1997, the minimum liquid asset ratio was
5%.
In addition, short-term liquid assets (e.g., cash, certain time
deposits, certain bankers acceptances and short-term United States Treasury
obligations) currently must constitute at least 1% of the association's average
daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and current borrowings.
Penalties may be imposed upon associations for violations of either liquid asset
ratio requirement. At September 30, 1997, the Bank was in compliance with both
requirements, with an overall liquid asset ratio of 16.0% and a short-term
liquid assets ratio of 10.5%.
Accounting. An OTS policy statement applicable to all savings
associations clarifies and re-emphasizes that the investment activities of a
savings association must be in compliance with approved and documented
investment policies and strategies, and must be accounted for in accordance with
GAAP. Under the policy statement, management must support its classification of
and accounting for loans and securities (i.e., whether held to maturity,
available for 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 September 30, 1997, the
Bank met the test and has always met the test since its effectiveness.
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
the 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
<PAGE>
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 the Bank, 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 the Bank. An unsatisfactory rating
may be used as the basis for the denial of an application by the OTS.
The federal banking agencies, including the OTS, have recently revised
the CRA regulations and the methodology for determining an institution's
compliance with the CRA. Due to the heightened attention being given to the CRA
in the past few years, the Bank may be required to devote additional funds for
investment and lending in its local community. The Bank was last examined for
CRA compliance in January 1996 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 laws that 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 except if made
pursuant to an employee benefit plan. The Bank is in compliance with this
requirement.
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.
<PAGE>
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
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company is subject to the information, proxy
solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements of the SEC
under the Exchange Act.
Company stock held by persons who are affiliates (generally officers,
directors and principal stockholders) of the 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 noninterest-bearing reserves at specified
levels against their transaction accounts (primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW
checking accounts). At September 30, 1997, the Bank was in compliance with these
reserve requirements. The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements
imposed by the Federal Reserve Board may be used to satisfy liquidity
requirements that may be imposed by the OTS. See "- Liquidity."
Savings associations are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve
Bank "discount window," but Federal Reserve Board regulations require
associations to exhaust other reasonable alternative sources of funds, including
FHLB borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank.
Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of
Indianapolis, which is one of 12 regional FHLBs, 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
<PAGE>
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 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 September 30, 1997, the Company had approximately $2.4
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 calendar years such dividends have averaged 8.93% and were 7.95% for
fiscal 1997.
Under federal law the FHLBs are required to provide funds for the
resolution of troubled savings associations and to contribute to low and
moderately priced housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on
advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing
projects. These contributions have affected adversely the level of FHLB
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 the Bank's FHLB stock may result in a corresponding
reduction in the Bank's capital.
Federal Taxation. Savings associations such as the Bank that meet
certain definitional tests relating to the composition of assets and other
conditions prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), had been permitted to establish reserves for bad debts and to make
annual additions thereto which may, within specified formula limits, be taken as
a deduction in computing taxable income for federal income tax purposes. The
amount of the bad debt reserve deduction for "non-qualifying loans" is computed
under the experience method. The amount of the bad debt reserve deduction for
"qualifying real property loans" (generally loans secured by improved real
estate) may be computed under either the experience method or the percentage of
taxable income method (based on an annual election).
Under the experience method, the bad debt reserve deduction is an
amount determined under a formula based generally upon the bad debts actually
sustained by the savings association over a period of years.
The percentage of specially computed taxable income that was used to
compute a savings association's bad debt reserve deduction under the percentage
of taxable income method (the "percentage bad debt deduction") was 8%. The
percentage bad debt deduction thus computed was reduced by the amount permitted
as a deduction for non-qualifying loans under the experience method. The
availability of the percentage of taxable income method permitted qualifying
savings associations to be taxed at a lower effective federal income tax rate
than that applicable to corporations generally (approximately 31.3% assuming the
maximum percentage bad debt deduction).
Under the percentage of taxable income method, the percentage bad debt
deduction could not exceed the amount necessary to increase the balance in the
reserve for "qualifying real property loans" to an amount equal to 6% of such
loans outstanding at the end of the taxable year or the greater of (i) the
amount deductible under the experience method or (ii) the amount which when
added to the bad debt deduction for "non-qualifying loans" equaled the amount by
which 12% of the amount comprising savings accounts at year-end exceeded the sum
of surplus, undivided profits and reserves at the beginning of the year.
<PAGE>
In August 1996, legislation was enacted that repeals the
above-described reserve method of accounting (including the percentage of
taxable income method) used by many thrift institutions to calculate their bad
debt reserve for federal income tax purposes. Thrift institutions with $500
million or less in assets may, however, continue to use the experience method.
As a result, the Bank must recapture that portion of the reserve that exceeds
the amount that could have been taken under the experience method for post-1987
tax years. 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 legislation also requires thrift institutions 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.
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 .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. The environmental tax expired as of January 1, 1997.
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 September 30, 1997, the Bank's Excess for tax purposes for which
no deferred tax liability has been established totaled approximately $7.6
million.
The Bank files federal income tax returns on a fiscal year basis using
the accrual method of accounting. The Company intends to file consolidated
federal income tax returns with the Bank. Savings associations, such as the
Bank, that file federal income tax returns as part of a consolidated group are
required by applicable Treasury regulations to reduce their taxable income for
purposes of computing the percentage bad debt deduction for losses attributable
to activities of the non-savings association members of the consolidated group
that are functionally related to the activities of the savings association
member.
State Taxation. For its taxable period beginning January 1, 1990, the
Bank became subject to Indiana's new Financial Institutions Tax ("FIT"), which
is imposed at a flat rate of 8.5% on "adjusted gross income." The Company is
also subject to FIT. "Adjusted gross income," for purposes of FIT, begins with
taxable income as defined by Section 63 of the Code and, thus, incorporates
federal tax law to the extent that it affects the computation of taxable income.
Federal taxable income is then adjusted by several Indiana modifications, the
<PAGE>
most notable of which is the required add back of interest that is tax-free for
federal income tax purposes. Other applicable state taxes include generally
applicable sales and use taxes plus real and personal property taxes. The Bank's
state income tax returns have not been audited in recent years.
Competition
The Company originates most of its loans to, and accepts most of its
deposits from, residents of northeastern Indiana, primarily Allen and Adams
Counties. The Company is subject to competition from various financial
institutions, including state and national banks, state and federal savings
associations, credit unions, certain non-banking consumer lenders, and other
companies or firms, including brokerage houses and mortgage brokers, that
provide similar services in northeastern Indiana, particularly Allen and Adams
Counties, some of which have significantly more resources than the Company. In
total, there are 11 banks and thrifts located in Allen County, Indiana,
including the Bank. These financial institutions consist of nine banks and two
savings associations (or thrifts). The Company must also compete with banks,
thrifts, and credit unions throughout northeastern Indiana since media
advertising from across this region reaches the Fort Wayne community. The
Company also competes with money market funds and with insurance companies with
respect to its individual retirement accounts and savings investments.
Competition has increased in recent years due to changes in Indiana law
permitting (i) state wide branching by national and state banks and savings
associations and (ii) nationwide acquisitions on a reciprocal basis of and by
Indiana banks and bank holding companies. Indiana law permits acquisitions of
Indiana banks and bank holding companies by certain non-Indiana federal and
state FDIC-insured institutions and their holding companies if the laws of their
home state permit Indiana bank holding companies to acquire banks and bank
holding companies of that state.
The primary factors influencing competition for deposits are interest
rates, service, and convenience of office locations. The Company competes for
loan originations primarily through the efficiency and quality of services it
provides borrowers, builders and Realtors and through interest rates and loan
fees it charges. Competition is affected by, among other things, the general
availability of lendable funds, general and local economic conditions, current
interest rate levels, and other factors that are not readily predictable. The
Company attempts to differentiate itself from other providers of financial
services by emphasizing the local and personalized nature of its service as well
as its strong capital base. In September 1997, the Company originated
approximately 9.0% and 6.0% of the mortgages recorded in Allen and Adams
Counties, respectively. As of September 30, 1997, the Company had approximately
7.0% and 8.5% of all financial institution deposits in each of Allen and Adams
Counties, respectively.
Employees
As of September 30, 1997, the Company employed 78 persons on a
full-time basis and six persons on a part-time basis. None of the Company's
employees are represented by a collective bargaining group. Management considers
its employee relations to be good.

PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER REPORT
Fiscal year ended September 30, 1997 (FY 1997) completed our second full year as
a public company, as result of the March 29, 1995 conversion, with continued
positive results for shareholders. All ten quarters of Home Bancorp's existence
have reported successively higher outstanding loan balances. The conversion net
proceeds of $30.1 million were rapidly invested in thirteen short months
resulting in a net increase in loans through community residential loan
originations. The Company's loan to deposit ratio, following the stock
conversion, stood at 81.5% on March 31, 1995, has reflected a 30-month increase
to 95.5% at September 30, 1997.
Total net loans receivable at September 30, 1997 were $284.0 million compared
with outstanding loans following the conversion of $204.0 million at March 31,
1995, an increase of 39.2% in ten quarters. During this period of high volume
community loan originations, the non-performing assets to total assets increased
nominally to 0.06% at September 30, 1997 from 0.04% at March 31, 1995.
For FY 1997 Home Bancorp reported net income of $2,893,000 or $1.20 per share
compared to $1,636,000 or $0.57 per share for FY 1996. Had it not been for the
one-time Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation special assessment (to
recapitalize SAIF) after-tax charge of $1.0 million the prior year, net income
would have been $2,636,000 in FY 1996, representing a 9.75% increase in the FY
1997 net income, or $257,000.
The total deposits at September 30, 1997 grew by $26.3 million or 9.7% to $297.5
million from $271.2 million at September 30, 1996. The September 30, 1997 total
assets increased by $23.3 million or 7.2% to $346.0 million from $322.7 million
at September 30, 1996.
During fiscal 1997, mortgage originations decreased 2.5% from prior year (FY
1996) historical high annual loan volume of $83.5 million. The majority of loans
were residential classification. Total net loans at September 30, 1997 were
$284.0 million, compared with $250.3 million a year ago, an increase of $33.7
million or 13.5% which was less than prior year (FY 1996) 16.7% loan growth.
Asset quality continued on course. As of September 30, 1997, non-performing
loans 90 days or more delinquent totaled $223,000 or 0.08% of total loans,
compared to $231,000 or 0.09% of total loans at September 30, 1996.
Non-performing assets, consisting solely of loans 90 days or more delinquent,
totaled 0.06% of total assets at September 30, 1997, compared to $231,000 or
0.07% of assets on September 30, 1996.
The FY 1997 operating (general and administrative) expenses to average assets
was 1.44% compared to 1.52% (excluding SAIF one-time charge) for FY 1996. The
efficiency ratio (non-interest operating expenses to net interest income plus
non-interest income) for the year ended September 30, 1997 was 49.0% compared to
51.1% (excluding SAIF one-time charge) for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1996.
To preserve our community oriented banking identity, the board approved a by-law
amendment that requires directors to have an intimate knowledge of the counties
in which Home Loan Bank offices are located, in order to serve the needs of
those communities. That means all directors be domiciled in, have a primary
residence in or have their primary place of business located in the Company's
primary market area. This has been the Bank's policy for years, but had never
been put in written form and adopted to preserve the welfare and growth of the
Bank and the Company. A director with a community following enhances growth of
deposits and loans.
<PAGE>
During FY 1997, the Company repurchased a total of 309,736 shares. These shares
were repurchased at an average price of $19.72. Since the inception of the
Company's stock repurchase programs, a total of 928,891 shares have been
repurchased as of September 30, 1997. The Bank remains a well-capitalized
institution, exceeding all current minimum regulatory capital requirements.
The initial quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share on common stock declared by
the Board of Directors was paid June 20, 1996 to shareholders of record May 31,
1996. The seventh quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share was declared on the
Company's common stock, payable November 25, 1997 to shareholders of record
November 4, 1997.
To our shareholders, we value your confidence and appreciate your financial
referrals. The directors, officers and staff take seriously our fiduciary
responsibility to enhance shareholder value. Sincere thanks to everyone involved
for their hard work, dedication and commitment to our Company.
Cordially,
W. Paul Wolf
Chairman, President
Chief Executive Officer

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
Fiscal year 1997 marked the second full year of operation of Home
Bancorp (the " Company") since the conversion of Home Loan Bank fsb (the "Bank")
on March 29, 1995 from a mutual to stock form of ownership (the "Conversion").
Through that conversion the Company raised $30.1 million, net of funds used to
purchase shares for an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") and net of
Conversion costs. During fiscal 1997 the Company further utilized those
conversion proceeds in continued growth in the Company's loan portfolio. Through
the origination of first lien residential mortgages in the Bank's service area,
the Company had sustained loan portfolio growth that was supported by growth in
consumer deposits and use of investment proceeds. During fiscal 1997 the Company
also repurchased approximately 310,000 in additional shares of Home Bancorp
stock held as treasury shares for ongoing business needs. Improving yields on
assets along with the stock repurchases enhanced both the earnings per share and
the return on equity. The Company's net income for fiscal 1997 represents the
most profitable year on record for either the Company or the Bank.
Financial Condition
September 30, 1997 compared to September 30, 1996. The Company's total
assets increased from $322.7 million as of September 30, 1996 to $346.0 as of
September 30, 1997, an increase of $23.3 million or 7.2%. Shareholders' equity
decreased from $46.7 as of September 30, 1996 to $44.0 million as of September
30, 1997, a decrease of $2.7 million or 5.8%. The decrease in shareholders'
equity was primarily the net result of earnings for the year, payments on
benefit plans, less the repurchase of 309,736 shares of common stock for $6.1
million, and dividends paid on common stock.
Total cash and cash equivalents increased from $11.9 million as of
September 30, 1996 to $16.4 million as of September 30, 1997, an increase of
$4.5 million. Investment securities, including those held to maturity and
available for sale, was $38.1 million as of September 30, 1997, a decrease of
$14.7 million from the balance of $52.8 million as of September 30, 1996. The
net decrease in liquid assets during the fiscal year was used primarily to fund
growth in the loan portfolio and repurchase common stock.
Net loans receivable increased $33.7 million or 13.5%, from $250.3
million as of September 30, 1996 to $284.0 million as of September 30, 1997.
This increase was primarily the result of continued growth in one- to
four-family residential loan originations in the Company's primary lending area.
Mortgage loan originations increased as a result of demand attributable to a
continued stable interest rate environment and historically low unemployment
rates.
Total deposits were $297.5 million as of September 30, 1997, an
increase of $26.3 million from $271.2 million as of September 30, 1996. The
increase in deposits was primarily the result of growth in savings, NOW and
money market accounts. During fiscal year 1997, the Bank restructured its 7 day
certificates of deposit accounts so as to qualify as money market accounts. The
increased balances in core deposits and a corresponding decrease in certificates
of deposit balances primarily reflect this technical change. As of September 30,
1997, the balance in savings, demand checking, NOW and money market funds was
$76.9 million an increase of $39.5 million from $37.4 million recorded as of
<PAGE>
September 30, 1996. Conversely, as of September 30, 1997, certificates of
deposit had a net decrease of $13.2 million from $233.8 million as of September
30, 1996 to $220.6 million as of September 30, 1997. If not for the shift
resulting from the qualifications as money market accounts, the amount in
certificates of deposit would have shown an increase for the fiscal year.
Management attributes this fact to customer preferences for higher yielding
instruments of deposit as opposed to the liquidity afforded lower yielding
transactional accounts. The Company's pricing of certificates of deposit are
consistent with that of its competitors. At September 30, 1997 the Company had
$140.1 million in certificates of deposit with terms of one year or less as
compared to $132.5 million for the same period ended September 30, 1996.
September 30, 1996 compared to September 30, 1995. The Company's total
assets increased from $313.2 million as of September 30, 1995 to $322.7 as of
September 30, 1996, an increase of $9.5 million or 3.0%. Shareholders' equity
4
<PAGE>
decreased from $54.1 as of September 30, 1995 to $46.7 million as of September
30, 1996, a decrease of $7.4 million or 13.7%. The decrease in shareholders'
equity was primarily the net result of earnings for the year, payments on
benefit plans, less the repurchase of 619,155 shares of common stock for $9.3
million, and dividends paid on common stock.
Total cash and cash equivalents decreased from $21.4 million as of
September 30, 1995 to $11.9 million as of September 30, 1996, a decrease of $9.5
million. Investment securities, including those held to maturity and available
for sale, decreased from $69.9 million as of September 30, 1995 to $52.8 million
as of September 30, 1996. The decreases in cash, cash equivalents, and
investment securities were used primarily to fund growth in the loan portfolio
and the repurchase of common stock.
Net loans receivable increased $35.9 million or 16.7%, from $214.4
million as of September 30, 1995 to $250.3 million as of September 30, 1996.
This increase was primarily the result of continued growth in one- to
four-family residential loan originations in the Company's primary lending area.
Mortgage loan originations increased as a result of demand attributable to a
stable interest rate environment and employment base.
Total deposits increased $15.1 million or 5.9%, from $256.1 million as
of September 30, 1995 to $271.2 as of September 30, 1996. The increase in
deposits was the result of an increase of $16.1 million in certificates of
deposit, less a decrease of $1.0 million in transaction and passbook accounts.
Management attributes growth in certificates of deposit to customer preferences
for higher yielding instruments of deposit as opposed to the liquidity afforded
lower yielding transactional accounts. The Company's pricing of certificates of
deposit are consistent with that of its competitors. At September 30, 1996 the
Company had $132.5 million in certificates of deposit with terms of one year or
less as compared to $127.7 million for the same period ended September 30, 1995.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
General. Net income for the year ended September 30, 1997 was $2.9
million, an increase of $1.3 million compared to net income of $1.6 million for
the year ended September 30, 1996. Net income for fiscal 1996 was impacted by a
$1.0 million after tax special assessment by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC") to capitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF") to its statutory reserve level of at least 1.25%. Comparing net income
for fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1996 after adjusting for the effect of the FDIC
special assessment would yield an increase of approximately $257,000, or 9.8%,
for the period. The increase in net income for the year ended September 30, 1997
compared to the year ended September 30, 1996 was primarily the result of the
decrease in operating expenses of $1.6 million primarily attributable to the
gross amount of the 1996 FDIC special assessment, and an approximately $334,000
increase in net interest income, partially offset by an associated increase in
income taxes as more fully described below.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $1.5 million or 6.6%, from
$22.9 million for the year ended September 30, 1996 to $24.4 million for the
year ended September 30, 1997. Interest income on loan receivables increased
$2.5 million while interest income on investments and other interest-earning
assets decreased $1.0 million during fiscal 1997 as compared to fiscal 1996. The
<PAGE>
increase in interest income for fiscal 1997 was primarily the result of
increases in the average balance of interest-earning assets and a modest
improvement in the yield of those balances. See "Average Balances, Interest
Rates and Yields" and "Rate/Volume Analysis."
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $1.2 million or 8.7%, from
$13.8 million for the year ended September 30, 1996 to $15.0 million for the
year ended September 30, 1997. The increase in interest expense was the result
of higher average balances of deposits and rate based savings preferences of
customers during fiscal 1997. The weighted average rate paid on deposits for
fiscal 1997 of 5.30% was the same as in fiscal 1996. See "Average Balances,
Interest Rates and Yields" and "Rate/Volume Analysis."
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased approximately
$334,000 or 3.7%, from $9.1 million for the year ended September 30, 1996 to
$9.5 million for the year ended September 30, 1997. This increase was
attributable to
5
<PAGE>
the increase in interest income which more than offset the increase in interest
expense as previously discussed. The Company's interest rate spread increased
from 2.13% during fiscal 1996 to 2.23% during fiscal 1997. The increase in the
interest rate spread during the fiscal year reflected a general increase in
market spreads.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the year
ended September 30, 1997 was $2,400 compared to $13,200 in the prior year, a
decrease of $10,800. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for fiscal
1997 was based on, among other things, the continued low levels of credit risk
inherent in the Company's loan portfolio and the current balance of the
allowance for loan losses. At September 30, 1997 the Company's allowance for
loan losses totaled $1.4 million or .49% of net loans receivable and 622.88% of
total non-performing loans. In management's assessment, continued growth in the
Company's residential loan portfolio has not significantly raised anticipated
risk exposures nor impaired the Company's ability to absorb future loan losses.
In establishing its allowance, the Company also considers the level of
its classified and non-performing assets and their estimated value, the national
economic outlook which may tend to inhibit economic activity and depress real
estate and other values in the Company's primary market area, the regulators'
view of adequate reserve levels for the thrift industry, and the Company's
historically low loan losses and the levels of the allowance for loan losses
established by the Company's peers in assessing the adequacy of the loan loss
allowance. Accordingly, the calculation of the adequacy of the allowance for
loan losses is not based solely on the level of non-performing loans. The
Company had no loan losses in fiscal 1997.
The Company will continue to monitor its allowance for loan losses and
make future additions to the allowance through the provision for loan losses as
economic conditions dictate. Although the Company maintains its allowance for
loan losses at a level which it considers to be adequate to provide for
potential losses, there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed
estimated amounts or that additional provisions for loan losses will not be
required in future periods. In addition, the Company's determination as to the
amount of its allowance for loan losses is subject to review by the OTS as part
of their examination process, which may result in the establishment of
additional allowances based upon their judgment of the information available to
them at the time of their examination.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased from $231,000 in
fiscal 1996 to $247,000 in fiscal 1997. The increase was primarily the result of
increases in service charges and fees. There were no sales of interest earning
assets during fiscal 1997.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased $1.6 million or
25.0%, from $6.4 million in fiscal 1996 to $4.8 million in fiscal 1997. Of the
decrease, $1.6 million was attributable in fiscal 1996 to the special SAIF
assessment by the FDIC. Noninterest expense without the foregoing non-recurring
item would have increased approximately $23,000 or 0.3%, from fiscal 1996 to
fiscal 1997.
Increased compensation and benefit expenses of $214,000 from fiscal
1996 to 1997 were primarily due to costs associated with the fair market value
expense on ESOP shares and general cost of living increases. Net occupancy and
equipment expense increased $63,000 in fiscal 1997 primarily due to the opening
of the Bank's ninth office in late 1996 and the associated operating and
depreciation expenses incurred in the fiscal year. Other expenses increased by a
modest $36,000 in the current fiscal year.
<PAGE>
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased from $1.3 million in
fiscal 1996 to $2.1 million in fiscal 1997, as a result of higher pretax
earnings for the period. Included in the tax expense for fiscal 1996 was the tax
benefit associated with the special SAIF assessment, which effectively lowered
the Company's tax liability by $650,000.
Comparison of the Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
General. Net income for the year ended September 30, 1996 was $1.6
million, a decrease of $825,000 compared to net income of $2.5 million for the
year ended September 30, 1995. Net income for fiscal 1996 was impacted by a $1.0
million after tax special assessment by the FDIC to capitalize the SAIF to its
statutory reserve level of at least 1.25%. The assessment on September 30, 1996,
was 0.657% of Home Loan Bank's insured deposits as of March 31, 1995.
6
<PAGE>
Interest Income. Interest income increased $1.8 million or 8.5%, from
$21.1 million for the year ended September 30, 1995 to $22.9 million for the
year ended September 30, 1996. Interest income on mortgage loans increased $2.0
million while interest income on investments and other interest-earning assets
decreased $171,000 during fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995. The increase
in interest income for fiscal 1996 was primarily the result of an increase in
the average balance of interest-earning assets and a modest improvement in the
yield of those balances. See "Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields" and
"Rate/Volume Analysis."
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $1.1 million or 8.7%, from
$12.7 million for the year ended September 30, 1995 to $13.8 million for the
year ended September 30, 1996. The increase in interest expense was the result
of the higher rate paid on and an increase in the average balance of
certificates of deposit during fiscal 1996. The weighted average rate paid on
deposits for fiscal 1996 increased 31 basis points to 5.30% from 4.99% for
fiscal 1995. See "Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields" and "Rate/Volume
Analysis."
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $735,000 or 8.8%,
from $8.4 million for the year ended September 30, 1995 to $9.1 million for the
year ended September 30, 1996. This increase was attributable to the increase in
interest income which more than offset the increase in interest expense as
previously discussed. The Company's interest rate spread decreased from 2.26%
during fiscal 1995 to 2.13% during fiscal 1996 and was 2.14% at September 30,
1996. The narrowing of the interest rate spread during the fiscal year reflected
the customer's preference for term deposits in a period when market interest
rates stabilized.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the year
ended September 30, 1996 was $13,200 compared to $87,000 in the prior year, a
decrease of $73,800. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for fiscal
1996 was based on, among other things, the continued low levels of credit risk
inherent in the Company's loan portfolio and the current balance of the
allowance for loan losses. At September 30, 1996 the Company's allowance for
loan losses totaled $1.4 million or .55% of net loans receivable and 599.57% of
total non-performing loans. The Company had no loan losses in fiscal 1996.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased from $221,000 in
fiscal 1995 to $231,000 in fiscal 1996. The increase was primarily the result of
increases in service charges and fees, and a modest increase in gains from the
sale of loans in the secondary market.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $1.9 million or
42.2%, from $4.5 million in fiscal 1995 to $6.4 million in fiscal 1996. Of the
increase, $1.6 million was attributable to the special SAIF assessment by the
FDIC. Noninterest expense without the foregoing non-recurring item would have
increased approximately $250,000 or 5.5%, from fiscal 1995 to fiscal 1996. The
increase in noninterest expense was primarily the result of increases in
compensation and employee benefit expenses, while other general and
administrative expenses decreased during the comparable period.
Increased compensation and benefit expenses of $423,000 from fiscal
1995 to 1996 were primarily due to a full year's expense for costs associated
with the ESOP, the shareholder approved Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP"),
and general cost of living increases. Fiscal year 1995 included only six months
of expense associated with the ESOP. The RRP program was not ratified until the
<PAGE>
1996 fiscal year. Net occupancy and equipment expense decreased $56,000 in
fiscal 1996 primarily due to decreases in depreciation expenses and
non-recurring expenses incurred in fiscal 1995. Other general and administrative
expenses decreased by $123,000 in the current fiscal year primarily from cost
containment and efficiency initiatives.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased from $1.5 million in
fiscal 1995 to $1.3 million in fiscal 1996, as a result of lower pretax earnings
for the period. Included in the tax expense for fiscal 1996 is the tax benefit
associated with the special SAIF assessment, which effectively lowered the
Company's tax liability by $650,000.

(1) Net interest rate spread is calculated by subtracting combined weighted
average interest rate cost from combined weighted average interest rate
earned for the period indicated. Net interest rate spread must be
considered in light of the relationship between the amounts of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Since the
Company's interest-earning assets exceeded its interest-bearing liabilities
for each of the three years shown above, a positive interest rate spread
resulted in net interest income.
(2) The net yield on average interest-earning assets is calculated by dividing
net interest income by total interest-earning assets for the period
indicated. No net yield figure is presented at September 30, 1997, because
the computation of net yield is applicable only over a period rather than
at a specific date.

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

Asset/Liability Management
The Bank, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest
rate risk to the extent that its interest-bearing liabilities with short- and
intermediate-term maturities reprice more rapidly, or on a different basis, than
its interest-earning assets. Management of the Bank believes it is important to
manage the relationship between interest rates and the effect on the Bank's net
portfolio value ("NPV"). This approach calculates the difference between the
present value of expected cash flows from assets and the present value of
expected cash flows from liabilities, as well as cash flows from off-balance
sheet contracts. Management of the Bank's assets and liabilities is done within
the context of the market place, but also within limits established by the Board
of Directors on the amount of change in NPV which is acceptable given certain
interest rate changes.
<PAGE>
At September 30, 1997, a change in the interest rate of positive 200
basis points would have resulted in a 2.62% decrease in the NPV as a percent of
the present value of the Bank's assets, while a change in the interest rate of
negative 200 basis points would have resulted in a 0.10% increase in the NPV as
a percent of the present value of the Bank's assets. Accordingly, a deduction to
risk-based capital would have been required as of September 30, 1997 if the
regulation were in effect. The Bank, however, would still have been considered
"well capitalized" under current regulatory guidelines.
Presented below, as of September 30, 1997, is an analysis of the Bank's
interest rate risk as measured by
9
<PAGE>
changes in NPV for instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield
curve in 100 basis point increments up and down 400 basis points and compared to
Board policy limits. As illustrated in the table, NPV is more sensitive to
rising rates than declining rates. This occurs principally because, as rates
rise, the market value of fixed-rate loans declines due to both the rate
increase and slowing prepayments. When rates decline, the Bank does not
experience a significant rise in market value for these loans because borrowers
prepay at relatively high rates. OTS assumptions are used in calculating the
amounts in this table.

</TABLE>
The Bank has structured its assets and liabilities in an attempt to
maintain interest rate risk at a level deemed acceptable by the Board. As
indicated in the table above, the percentage change of NPV in rising interest
rates of +200 bp and above exceeds approved Board limits due to upward pressure
on interest rates during the period and increased sensitivity from mismatches in
asset/liability repricing. The Board reviews the OTS measurements on a quarterly
basis and has chosen to monitor and adjust exposures rather than limits. In
addition to monitoring selected measures on NPV, management also monitors
effects on net interest income resulting from increases or decreases in rates.
This measure is used in conjunction with NPV measures to identify excessive
interest rate risk. A primary objective of asset/liability management is to
manage interest rate risk. The Company monitors its asset/liability mix on an
ongoing basis and manages interest rate risk by applying the following policies:
Promoting adjustable rate mortgages. Adjustable rate mortgages ("ARMs")
are viewed by management as the most viable option for managing interest rate
exposure. The Company focuses lending efforts toward offering competitively
priced adjustable rate loan products as an alternative to more traditional fixed
rate mortgage loans. The Company offers a wide variety of adjustable rate loan
products that reprice as frequently as every year or can be fixed for a term of
up to seven years and adjust yearly thereafter.
Originating 10, 15 and 20 year fixed rate mortgages. By retaining these
mortgages in the loan portfolio, and selling mortgages with terms of 30 years,
management can reduce its interest rate exposure. Loans with maturities of 30
years are currently classified as held for sale by the Company at origination.
There were no loans held for sale at September 30, 1997. The Company retains the
servicing on loans sold in the secondary market.
<PAGE>
Emphasizing long-term deposits. The Company's cost of funds responds to
changes in interest rates due to the relatively short-term nature of its deposit
portfolio. Consequently, the results of operations are influenced by the levels
of short-term interest rates. The Company offers a range of maturities on its
deposit products at competitive rates and concentrates a portion of its
advertising and promotional campaigns on attracting longer-term deposit
products. It also monitors the maturities on an ongoing basis.
Actively managing liquidity position. Management actively manages the
Company's liquidity position in anticipation of changing interest rate exposure.
The primary objective of the Company's investment strategy is to provide
liquidity necessary to meet funding needs as well as address daily, cyclical and
long-term changes in the asset/liability mix while contributing to profitability
by providing a stable flow of dependable earnings. Generally, the Company
invests funds based on its liquidity needs and to achieve the proper balance
between the desire to minimize risk and maximize yield to fulfill its
asset/liability management policies.
10
<PAGE>
Actively marketing short-term home equity loans. Short-term home equity
lines of credit and home improvement loans offer higher yields while lowering
interest rate exposure through their relatively short-term maturities.
In evaluating the Bank's exposure to interest rate risk, certain
shortcomings inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table
must be considered. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may
have similar maturities for periods of re-pricing, 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. Furthermore, in the event of a change in interest rates,
prepayments and early withdrawal level would likely deviate significantly from
those assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers
to service their debts may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.
As a result, the actual effect of changing interest rates may differ from that
presented in the foregoing table.
Liquidity And Capital Resources
The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and
interest payments on loans and maturities of investment securities. While
maturities of securities and scheduled amortizations of loans are a predictable
source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced
by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
Federal regulations require the Bank to maintain minimum levels of
liquid assets. The required percentage has varied from time to time based upon
economic conditions and savings flows and on September 30, 1997, was 5% of net
withdrawable savings deposits and borrowings payable on demand or in one year or
less during the preceding calendar month. Liquid assets for purposes of this
ratio include cash, certain time deposits, U.S. Government, government agency
and other securities and obligations generally having remaining maturities of
less than five years. The Bank has maintained its liquidity ratio at levels in
excess of those required. At September 30, 1997, the Bank's liquidity ratio was
16.0% compared to 22.9% and 31.7% at September 30, 1996 and 1995.
Management structures the liquid asset portfolio of the Bank to meet
the cash flow needs of operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flows
provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of interest received on
loans and investments less interest paid on deposits, were $3.9 million, $4.3
million, and $2.5 million for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Net cash flows used for investing activities, consisting primarily
of disbursements for loan originations and investments purchased offset by
principal collections on loans and proceeds from the maturity of investments,
were $19.6 million, $19.4 million, and $35.8 million for the years ended
September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net cash provided by financing
activities, consisting primarily of net deposit activity and cash provided by
the Conversion, was $20.2 million, $5.6 million, $35.0 million for the years
ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. If the Bank requires
additional funds beyond its ability to acquire them locally, it has borrowing
capability through the FHLB of Indianapolis. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had
no advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis or other borrowings outstanding and
has not had any such advances or other borrowings outstanding since 1983.
<PAGE>
The Bank uses its liquidity resources principally to meet ongoing
commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and deposit withdrawals
and to meet operating expenses. The Bank anticipates that it will have
sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments. At September 30,
1997, the Bank had outstanding commitments to extend credit which amounted to
$15.6 million (including $9.8 million in unused lines of credit). Management
believes that loan repayments and other sources of funds will be adequate to
meet the Bank's foreseeable liquidity needs.
At September 30, 1997, the Bank had tangible and core capital of $33.2
million, or 9.85% of adjusted total assets, which was approximately $28.2
million and $23.1 million above the minimum requirements of 1.5% and 3.0%,
respectively, of the adjusted total assets in effect on that date. The Bank had
risk-based capital at September 30, 1997 of $34.6 million (including $33.2
million in core capital), or 21.38% of risk-weighted assets of $161.8 million.
This amount was $21.7 million above the 8.0% requirement in effect on that date.
11
<PAGE>
The Company also has a need for, and sources of, liquidity. Liquidity
is required to fund operating expenses, stock repurchase programs, as well as
the payments of any dividends to shareholders. The primary source of liquidity
for the Company on an ongoing basis is dividends from the Bank. During 1997, the
Bank paid dividends in the amount of $8,383,000 to the Company. The dividends
paid in 1997 represent a capital distribution of $5,700,000 in addition to the
transfer of 100 percent of the Bank's net income. In addition, the Company has
access to public debt and equity markets. The Company currently has no
significant liquidity commitments as its operating costs are modest and
dividends on common stock are discretionary.
Uses and Sources of Funds
During the year ended September 30, 1997, there was a net increase of
$4.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, as major sources of funds offset the
uses of cash. Primary uses of cash during the fiscal year 1997 included funding
an increase of $33.7 million in the loan portfolio, the repurchase of $6.1
million in treasury shares, and the purchase of $15.1 million in securities. The
major source of funds included $30.0 million from the maturity of securities and
a $26.3 million increase in deposits. The Company paid a total of $0.20 per
share on common stock, or a total of $477,000 to its shareholders during fiscal
1997.
During the year ended September 30, 1996, there was a net decrease of
$9.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, as uses offset sources of funds.
Primary uses of cash during the fiscal year 1996 included funding an increase of
$35.9 million in the loan portfolio, the repurchase of $9.3 million in treasury
shares, and the repurchase of $6.1 million in securities. The major source of
funds included $23.0 million from the maturity and sales of securities and a
$15.0 million increase in deposits. The Company paid a total of $0.10 per share
on common stock, or a total of $264,000 to its shareholders during fiscal 1996.
During the year ended September 30, 1995, there was a net increase of
$1.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, as major sources of funds offset the
uses of cash. Major uses of cash during the fiscal year 1995 included funding an
increase of $13.9 million in the loan portfolio and the purchase of $41.8
million in investment securities. A major source of cash during the year
included the proceeds from the stock issuance, net of conversion costs and stock
acquired by the ESOP, of $30.1 million. Other sources of funds included a $4.8
million increase in deposits and proceeds from the maturity of $20.0 million in
investment securities.
Impact Of Inflation
The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto presented
herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating
results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the
relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of
inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company's operations. Nearly
all the assets and liabilities of the Company are financial, unlike most
industrial companies. As a result, the Company's performance is directly
impacted by changes in interest rates, which are indirectly influenced by
inflationary expectations. The Company's ability to match the interest
sensitivity of its financial assets to the interest sensitivity of its financial
liabilities in its asset/liability management may tend to minimize the effect of
changes in interest rates on the Company's performance. Changes in interest
rates do not necessarily move to the same extent as do changes in the prices of
goods and services.
<PAGE>
Impact of New Accounting Standards
Several new accounting standards have been issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") that will apply to the Company for the year ending
September 30, 1998 or 1999.
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," revises the accounting requirements
for calculating earnings per share. Basic earnings per share for the quarter
ended December 31, 1997 and later will be calculated solely on average common
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share will reflect the potential
dilution effect of stock options and other common stock equivalents. All prior
calculations will be restated to be comparable to the new methods. As the
Company has dilution from stock options, the new calculation methods will
increase basic earnings per share over what otherwise would have been reported
as primary earnings per share, while there will be little effect on fully
diluted earnings per share.
12
<PAGE>
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards
for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenue,
expenses, gains, and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial
statements. This statement requires all items that are recognized under
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a
financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements. Income tax effects must also be shown.
This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," establishes standards for the way public business enterprises
report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires those enterprises report selected information about operating segments
in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes
standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas,
and major customers. This statement is effective for financial statements for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include Home Bancorp (the Company), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Home Loan
BankFSB (the Bank). All significant intercompany transactions and balances are
eliminated in consolidation.
Nature of Business and Concentrations of Credit Risk: The primary source of
income for the Company is the origination of residential real estate loans in
Fort Wayne, Indiana and the surrounding areas. Loans secured by real estate
mortgages comprise approximately 99% of the loan portfolio at September 30,
1997. The Company accepts deposits from customers in the normal course of
business primarily in Fort Wayne, Indiana and the surrounding areas. The Company
operates in the banking industry which accounts for more than 90% of its
revenues.
Use of Estimates In Preparing Financial Statements: Preparing financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period, as well as the disclosures provided.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates associated with the
allowance for loan losses and the fair values of securities and other financial
instruments are particularly susceptible to material change in the near term.
Certain Vulnerability Due to Certain Concentrations: Management is of the
opinion that no concentrations exist that make the Company vulnerable to the
risk of near-term severe impact.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents is defined to include the Company's cash on hand and in other banks,
federal funds sold, and interest-earning deposits in other financial
institutions with maturities of 90 days or less. The Company reports net cash
flows for customer loan transactions, deposit transactions and advance payments
by borrowers for taxes and insurance.
Securities: The Company classifies securities into held to maturity, available
or sale and trading categories. Held to maturity securities are those which the
Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, and are
reported at amortized cost. Available for sale securities are those the Company
may decide to sell if needed for liquidity, asset-liability management or other
reasons. Available for sale securities are reported at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of shareholders'
equity, net of tax. Trading securities are bought principally for sale in the
near term, and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses
included in earnings.
Gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined using the specific
identification method based on amortized cost and are reflected in results of
operations at the time of sale. Interest and dividend income, adjusted by
amortization of purchase premium or discount over the estimated life of the
security using the level yield method, is included in earnings.
<PAGE>
Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans intended for sale in the secondary market
are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net
unrealized losses are recognized in a valuation allowance by charges to income.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Loan Servicing Rights: Effective October 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights." This Statement changed the accounting for mortgage servicing
rights retained by a loan originator. Under this standard, if the originator
sells or securitizes mortgage loans and retains the related servicing rights,
the total cost of the mortgage loan is allocated between the loan (without the
servicing rights) and the servicing rights, based on their relative fair values.
Under prior practice, all such costs were assigned to the loan. The costs
allocated to mortgage servicing rights are now recorded as a separate asset and
are amortized in proportion to, and over the life of, the net servicing income.
The carrying value of the mortgage servicing rights are periodically evaluated
for impairment. The effect of adopting the statement was not material.
Loans: Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for
the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their
outstanding principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan
losses, deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and unamortized premiums or
discounts on purchased loans.
Premiums or discounts on mortgage loans are amortized to income on the level
yield method over the remaining period to contractual maturity, adjusted for
anticipated prepayments.
Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net
fee or cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest income using the interest
method.
Allowance for Loan Losses: Because some loans may not be repaid in full, an
allowance for loan losses is recorded. The allowance for loan losses is
increased by a provision for loan losses charged to expense and decreased by
charge-offs (net of recoveries). Estimating the risk of loss and the amount of
loss on any loan is necessarily subjective. Accordingly, the allowance is
maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover losses that are
currently anticipated. Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the
allowance is based on past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the
portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay,
the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic
conditions. While management may periodically allocate portions of the allowance
for specific problem loan situations, the whole allowance is available for any
loan charge-offs that occur.
SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended,
was adopted effective October 1, 1995 and requires recognition of loan
impairment. Loans are considered impaired if full principal or interest payments
are not anticipated in accordance with the contractual loan terms. Impaired
loans are carried at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted
at the loan's effective interest rate or at the fair value of the collateral if
the loan is collateral dependent. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is
<PAGE>
allocated to impaired loans if the value of such loans is less than the unpaid
balance. If these allocations cause the allowance for loan losses to require
increase, such increase is reported in the provision for loan losses. The effect
of adopting this standard was not material to the consolidated financial
statements.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Smaller-balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total. Such
loans include residential first mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family
residences, residential construction loans, automobile, manufactured homes, home
equity and second mortgage loans. Commercial loans and mortgage loans secured by
other properties are evaluated individually for impairment. When analysis of
borrower operating results and financial condition indicates that underlying
cash flows of the borrower's business are not adequate to meet debt service
requirements, the loan is evaluated for impairment. Often this is associated
with a delay or shortfall in payments of 30 days or more. Nonaccrual loans are
often also considered impaired. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged
off when deemed uncollectible. The nature of disclosures for impaired loans is
considered generally comparable to prior nonaccrual and renegotiated loans and
non-performing and past due asset disclosures.
Foreclosed Real Estate: Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of,
loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value at the date of
acquisition, establishing a new cost basis. Any reduction to fair value from the
carrying value of the related loan at the time of acquisition is accounted for
as a loan loss and charged against the allowance for loan losses. After
acquisition, a valuation allowance is recorded through a charge to income for
the amount of selling costs. Valuations are periodically performed by management
and valuation allowances are adjusted through a charge to income for changes in
fair value or estimated selling costs.
Income Taxes: The Company records income tax expense based on the amount of
taxes due on its tax return plus deferred taxes computed based on the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts
and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates. A valuation
allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.
Premises and Equipment: Land and land improvements are carried at cost.
Buildings, leasehold improvements, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment are
carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Buildings and
furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of leasehold
improvements is being amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of
the related leases. These assets are reviewed for impairment under SFAS No. 121
when events indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan: The Company accounts for its employee stock
ownership plan (ESOP) in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 93-6.
Under SOP 93-6, the cost of shares issued to the ESOP, but not yet allocated to
participants, is presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a reduction of
shareholders' equity. Compensation expense is recorded based on the market price
of the shares as they are committed to be released for allocation to participant
accounts. The difference between the market price and the cost of shares
committed to be released is recorded as an adjustment to common stock. Dividends
on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP
shares reduce debt and accrued interest.
<PAGE>
ESOP shares are considered outstanding for earnings per share calculations as
they are committed to be released; unearned shares are not considered
outstanding.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk: The Company, in the normal
course of business, makes commitments to make loans which are not reflected in
the financial statements. A summary of these commitments is disclosed in Note
12.

Earnings Per Share: Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common share
equivalents which would arise from considering dilutive stock options, less ESOP
shares not committed to be released. The impact of dilutive stock options on
earnings per share is not material. The weighted average number of shares
outstanding for the calculation of earnings per common share for the years ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 was 2,402,971 and 2,858,551, respectively. Earnings
per common share for the year ended September 30, 1995 was computed by dividing
net income subsequent to the Bank's conversion from mutual to stock form (the
"conversion") by the weighted average number of shares outstanding less ESOP
shares not committed to be released. Net income subsequent to the conversion was
$1,366,000 and the weighted average number of shares outstanding was 3,084,319
for the period ended September 30, 1995.
Stock Compensation: Expense for employee compensation under stock option plans
is based on Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion 25, with expense
reported only if options are granted below market price at grant date. If
applicable, disclosures of net income and earnings per share are provided as if
the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 were used for stock-based compensation.
Impact of New Accounting Standards: SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities," provides
accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial
assets and extinguishment of liabilities. Several transactions common to banking
are affected by SFAS No. 125, including servicing of loans and other financial
assets, repurchase agreements, loan participations, asset securitizations, and
transfers of receivables with recourse. This statement was effective for some
transactions occurring after December 31, 1996, and will be effective for others
in 1998. The impact of partial adoption in 1997 was not material to the 1997
consolidated financial statements and the impact of the complete adoption in
1998 is also not expected to be material to the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the 1996 and 1995 financial statements
have been reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation.

NOTE 7 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Employee Pension Plan: The pension plan is part of a noncontributory
multi-employer defined-benefit pension plan covering substantially all
employees. As a multi-employer plan, there is no separate valuation of plan
benefits nor segregation of plan assets specifically for the Company. For the
year ended September 30, 1997, the fund was fully funded. Expense under this
plan was approximately $-0-, $49,000 and $67,000 for the years ended September
30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
401(k) Plan: The Company maintains a 401(k) salary reduction plan which covers
substantially all employees. Participants made deferrals from 1% to 15% of
compensation and the Company matched 50% of elective deferrals on the first 6%
of the participants' compensation through March 31, 1995. Between March 31, 1995
and November 30, 1995, participants made deferrals on the first 2% of
compensation, however, the Company did not provide any match of such elective
deferrals. After November 30, 1995, participants may make deferrals from 1% to
15% of compensation, however, the Company does not provide any match of such
elective deferrals. The Company provided discretionary contributions of 1% of
compensation for the year ended September 30, 1995. Contributions and related
expense attributable to the plan were approximately $4,000, $4,000 and $30,000
for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Recognition and Retention Plans ("RRP"): In October, 1995, the Company
established the RRP as a method of providing directors, officers and other key
employees of the Company with a proprietary interest in the Company in a manner
designed to encourage such persons to remain with the Company. The terms of each
grant of stock pursuant to the RRP are identical; only the participants and the
number of shares awarded to each participant vary. The Bank contributed funds to
the RRP for the purchase of 78,327 shares of Company common stock at an average
price of $15.25 per share. On October 10, 1995, awards of grants for these
shares were issued to various directors, officers and other key employees of the
Company. These awards generally are to vest and be earned by the recipient at
the rate of 20% per year, commencing October 10, 1996. The unearned portion of
these stock awards is presented as a reduction of shareholders' equity. An
expense of approximately $238,000 and $239,000 was recorded for these Plans for
the years ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP): In conjunction with the stock conversion,
the Company established an ESOP for eligible employees. Employees with 1,000
hours of employment with the Bank and who have attained age 21 are eligible to
participate. The ESOP borrowed $2,312,090 from the Company to purchase 231,209
shares of the common stock issued in the conversion at $10 per share. Collateral
for the loan is the unearned shares of common stock purchased with the loan
proceeds by the ESOP. The loan will be repaid principally from the Bank's
discretionary contributions to the ESOP over a period of twelve years. The
interest rate for the loan is a variable monthly rate equal at all times to the
Applicable Federal Rate. Shares purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense
account for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid. Expense of
approximately $451,000, $352,000 and $169,000 was recorded relative to the ESOP
for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Contributions of $302,000, $310,000, and $167,000 were made to the ESOP during
the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Dividends on
unearned shares are used to reduce the accrued interest and principal amount of
the ESOPs loan payable to the Company.
Contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the suspense account in an
amount proportional to the repayment of the ESOP loan are allocated among ESOP
participants on the basis of compensation in the year of allocation. Benefits
generally become 100% vested after five years of credited service. Credit for
vesting purposes is given for years of service prior to the effective date of
the ESOP. Prior to the completion of five years of credited service, a
participant who terminates employment for reasons other than death, normal
retirement, or disability does not receive any benefit under the ESOP.
Forfeitures are reallocated among remaining participating employees, in the same
proportion as contributions. Benefits are payable in the form of stock or cash
upon termination of employment. The Company's contributions to the ESOP are not
fixed, so benefits payable under the ESOP cannot be estimated.
ESOP participants are entitled to receive distributions from their ESOP accounts
only upon termination of service. A participant entitled to a distribution may
require the Company to repurchase the stock in the event that the stock is not
readily tradable on an established market (referred to as the put option). In
general, participants are entitled to exercise the put option for a period of
not more than 60 days following the date of distribution of the stock. As the
Company's common stock is traded on the NASDAQ National market under the symbol
"HBFW", the provisions of the put option currently have no effect.
For the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, 22,590, 23,237 and 12,350
shares with an average fair value of $19.96, $15.07 and $13.66 per share,

Stock Option Plan: The Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Home
Bancorp 1996 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Plan") in conjunction with
the stock conversion. The number of options authorized under the Plan is 10% or
330,317 shares of common stock issued in the conversion. Officers, directors and
key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in
the Plan. The option exercise price must be at least 100% of the market value
(as defined in the Plan) of the common stock on the date of the grant, and the
option term cannot exceed 10 years. Eligible officers and directors of the
Company are able to exercise options awarded to them at a rate of 20% per year,
October 10, 1996 being the first possible exercise date.
The Company applied APB Opinion 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
and related interpretations in accounting for its Plan. Accordingly, no
compensation expense has been recognized for the Plan. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation," requires disclosures for stock-based compensation
awarded in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994 for companies that do
not adopt its fair value accounting method for stock-based compensation. The
effects on the Company's net income and earnings per share under the provisions
of SFAS No. 123 were not material for the years ended September 30, 1996 and

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
The Company and the Bank file a consolidated federal income tax return on a
fiscal year basis. Prior to fiscal year 1997, if certain conditions were met in
determining taxable income as reported on the consolidated federal income tax
return, the Bank was allowed a special bad debt deduction based on a percentage
of taxable income (8% for 1996) or on specified experience formulas. The Bank
used the percentage of taxable income method for the tax years ended September
30, 1996 and 1995. Tax legislation passed in August 1996 now requires the Bank
to deduct a provision for bad debts for tax purposes based on actual loss

Federal income tax laws provided savings banks with additional bad debt
deductions through September 30, 1987, totaling $7,600,000 for the Bank.
Accounting standards do not require a deferred tax liability to be recorded on
this amount, which liability otherwise would total approximately $2,584,000 at
September 30, 1997 and 1996. If the Bank were liquidated or otherwise ceases to
be a bank or if tax laws were to change, the $2,584,000 would be recorded as
expense.
NOTE 9 - CAPITAL STANDARDS
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
federal regulatory agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective
action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors,
and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure to meet
various capital requirements can initiate certain actions by regulators that, if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial
statements.

NOTE 9 - CAPITAL STANDARDS (Continued)
The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including
well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not
used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized,
regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If
undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and
expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required.

NOTE 9 - CAPITAL STANDARDS (Continued)
Regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision limit the amount of dividends
and other capital distributions that may be paid by a savings institution
without prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. The regulatory
restriction is based on a three-tiered system with the greatest flexibility
being afforded to well-capitalized (Tier 1) institutions. The Bank is currently
a Tier 1 institution. Accordingly, the Bank can make, without prior regulatory
approval, distributions during a calendar year up to 100% of its net income to
date during the calendar year plus an amount that would reduce by one-half its
"surplus capital ratio" (the excess over its capital requirements) at the
beginning of the calendar year. Accordingly, at September 30, 1997 approximately
$8,250,000 of the Bank's retained earnings is potentially available for
distribution to the Company.
In addition to the restriction described above, the Bank may not declare or pay
cash dividends or repurchase any if its shares of common stock if the effect
thereof would reduce the Bank's capital level below the aggregate balance
required for the liquidation account (as described in Note 16.)
NOTE 10 - FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE PREMIUM
The deposits of savings associations such as the Bank are insured by the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). A recapitalization plan signed into law on
September 30, 1996 provides for a one-time assessment of 65.7 basis points
applied to all SAIF deposits as of March 31, 1995. Based on the Bank's deposits
as of this date, a one-time assessment of approximately $1,648,000 was recorded
as a noninterest expense for the year ended September 30, 1996.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has various outstanding

</TABLE>
The majority of loan commitments have commitment periods up to 90 days, loan
terms ranging from 10 years to 30 years and contractual interest rates ranging
from 5.84% to 8.49%.
The Company has commitments for unused lines of credit aggregating $9,835,000 at
September 30, 1997.
Since certain commitments to make loans and to fund lines of credit and loans in
process expire without being used, the amount does not necessarily represent
future cash commitments. In addition, commitments used to extend credit are
agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any
condition established in the contract. The Company's exposure to credit loss in
the event of nonperformance by the other party to these financial instruments is
represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company follows
the same credit policy to make such commitments as is followed for those loans
recorded on the consolidated balance sheet.
<PAGE>
At September 30, 1997, the Company has an approved line of credit of $10,000,000
with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. In the event the Company were
to draw on the line, the Company would pledge specific mortgage loans as
collateral.
The Company has long-term leases for premises which expire at various dates
through 2001. The Company pays taxes, insurance and maintenance costs on such
premises. Total lease expense related to these premises was approximately
$80,000 for each of the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995.
The Company and the Bank are subject to certain claims and legal actions arising
in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after
consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is
not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position of the Company.

NOTE 13 - SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company grants real estate and consumer loans including home improvement and
other consumer loans primarily in Allen and Adams counties. Loans secured by
residential real estate mortgages comprise approximately 99% of the loan
portfolio. The Company is also involved in the sale of mortgage loans and
servicing of these loans for secondary market agencies. The Company's policy for
collateral on mortgage loans allows borrowings up to 95% of the appraised value
of the property as established by appraisers approved by the Company's Board of
Directors, provided that private mortgage insurance is obtained in an amount
sufficient to reduce the Company's exposure to or below the 80% loan-to-value
level. The percentage and documentation guidelines are designed to protect the
Company's interest in the collateral as well as to comply with guidelines for
sale in the secondary market.

</TABLE>
For purposes of the above disclosures of estimated fair value, the following
assumptions were used as of September 30, 1997 and 1996. The estimated fair
value for cash and cash equivalents, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, demand and
savings deposits and advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance is
considered to approximate cost. The estimated fair value for securities is based
on quoted market values for the individual securities or equivalent securities.
The estimated fair value for loans is based on estimates of the rate the Bank
would charge for similar such loans at September 30, 1997 and 1996, applied for
the time period until the loans are assumed to reprice or be paid. The estimated
fair value for certificates of deposit is based on estimates of the rate the
Bank would pay on such deposits at September 30, 1997 and 1996, applied for the
time period until maturity. The estimated fair value of other financial
instruments and off-balance-sheet loan commitments approximate cost and are not
considered significant for this presentation.
While these estimates of fair value are based on management's judgment of the
most appropriate factors, there is no assurance that were the Company to have
disposed of such items at September 30, 1997 and 1996, the estimated fair values
would necessarily have been achieved at that date, since market values may
differ depending on various circumstances. The estimated fair values at
September 30, 1997 and 1996 should not necessarily be considered to apply at
subsequent dates.

In addition, other assets and liabilities of the Company that are not defined as
financial instruments are not included in the above disclosures, such as
premises and equipment. Also, non-financial instruments typically not recognized
in financial statements nevertheless may have value but are not included in the
above disclosures. These included, among other items, the estimated earnings
power of core deposit accounts, the earnings potential of loan servicing rights,
the trained work force, customer goodwill and similar items.

NOTE 16 - CHANGE IN CHARTER AND CONVERSION TO STOCK FORM OF
OWNERSHIP
The Indiana Department of Financial Institutions ("DFI") and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") approved the Bank's application for a change in
charter, effective December 23, 1994, from an Indiana mutual savings bank,
supervised by the DFI and FDIC, to a federally chartered mutual savings bank,
supervised by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS").
On December 13, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Bank, subject to regulatory
approval and approval by the members of the Bank, adopted a Plan of Conversion
to convert from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally
chartered stock savings bank with the concurrent formation of the Company as the
Bank's holding company. The conversion was consummated on March 29, 1995 by
amending the Bank's federal charter and the sale of the Company's common stock
in an amount equal to the proforma market value of the Company after giving
effect to the conversion. A subscription offering of the shares of the Company's
common stock was offered initially to the Bank's depositors and tax-qualified
employee plans of the Bank and the Company, then to other members and Directors,
officers and employees of the Bank, then to the general public, with a
preference to people residing in Allen County, Indiana. Proceeds of $32,400,000
were received from the sale of 3,303,178 common shares, after deduction of
conversion costs of $631,780. With the conversion, the Company issued 231,209
shares for the ESOP in exchange for a note receivable from the ESOP. Upon the
closing of the stock offering, the Company used 50% of the net proceeds of the
conversion to purchase 100% of the common shares of the Bank. The Bank is now a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The conversion was an internal
reorganization with historical balances carried forward without adjustment.
At the time of the conversion, the Company established a liquidation account in
an amount equal to its total net worth as of the date of the latest balance
sheet appearing in the final prospectus ($21,370,000 at September 30, 1994). The
liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible depositors
who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after the conversion. The
liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible
depositors have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not
restore an eligible account holder's interest in the liquidation account. In the
event of a complete liquidation, each eligible depositor will be entitled to
receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate
to the current adjusted qualifying balances for the accounts then held. The
liquidation account balance is not available for payment of dividends. This is
less restrictive than the divided limitation discussed in Note 9.
