                                     PART I

Item  1. Description of Business

General

     LSB Financial Corp. is an Indiana  corporation  which was organized in 1994
by Lafayette Savings Bank, FSB for the purpose of becoming a thrift  institution
holding company.  Lafayette Savings is a federally  chartered stock savings bank
headquartered in Lafayette,  Indiana.  Originally  organized in 1869,  Lafayette
Savings converted to a federal savings bank in 1984. Lafayette Savings' deposits
are  insured  up to the  applicable  limits  by the Bank  Insurance  Fund of the
Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation (the "FDIC"). In February 1995, Lafayette
Savings  converted  to the  stock  form of  organization  through  the  sale and
issuance  of  1,029,576  shares  of  its  common  stock  to LSB  Financial.  LSB
Financial's  principal asset is the outstanding stock of Lafayette Savings.  LSB
Financial presently has no separate operations and its business consists only of
the business of Lafayette Savings. References in this Form 10-KSB to "we", "us",
and  "our"  refer to LSB  Financial  and/or  Lafayette  Savings  as the  context
requires.

     We have been, and intend to continue to be, a community-oriented  financial
institution.  Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from
the general  public and  investing  those funds  primarily  in  permanent  first
mortgage loans secured by owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences, and to
a lesser extent, non-owner occupied one- to four-family residential,  commercial
real estate, multi-family, construction and development, consumer and commercial
business loans. We currently serve Tippecanoe County,  Indiana through our three
retail  banking  offices.  At December 31,  1998,  we had total assets of $232.8
million, deposits of $161.8 million and shareholders' equity of $18.2 million.

     Our revenues are derived  principally  from  interest on mortgage and other
loans and interest on securities.

     Our executive  offices are located at 101 Main Street,  Lafayette,  Indiana
47902. Our telephone number at that address is (765) 742-1064.

Lending Activities

     General.  Our principal lending activity is the origination of conventional
mortgage  loans for the  purpose of  purchasing,  constructing,  or  refinancing
owner-occupied  one- to  four-family  residential  real  estate  located  in our
primary  market area. We also originate  non-owner  occupied one- to four-family
residential, multi-family and land development, commercial real estate, consumer
and commercial business loans.

     In the mid 1980's, we began originating adjustable rate loans for retention
in our  portfolio  in an effort to increase  the  percentage  of loans with more
frequent repricing than traditional long term,  fixed-rate loans. As a result of
continued consumer demand for long-term,  fixed rate loans, we have continued to
originate such loans.  We underwrite  these mortgage loans  utilizing  secondary
market guidelines allowing them to be saleable,  without recourse,  primarily to
Freddie Mac. The sale of these loans results in additional short-term income and
improves our interest rate risk position.  We generally  retain servicing rights
on loans  sold in the  secondary  market.  Furthermore,  in  order to limit  our
potential  exposure  to  increasing  interest  rates  caused by our  traditional
emphasis

                                        3

<PAGE>



on originating  single family mortgage loans, we have  diversified our portfolio
by increasing our emphasis on the  origination of short-term or adjustable  rate
multi-family  and commercial  real estate and  commercial  business  loans.  See
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations -  Asset/Liability  Management;  Market Risk  Analysis" in the Annual
Report to Stockholders filed as Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report.

     Our loan officers and certain executive officers have approval authority on
loans  depending  on the  type  and  amount  of  the  loan.  All  owner-occupied
residential loans greater than $250,000 and all non-owner  occupied  residential
loans and commercial  business loans of $350,000 or more must be approved by the
loan committee of the board of directors.  Any loan or aggregate of loans to one
borrower  of $1.0  million or more must be  approved  by a majority  of the full
board of directors.

     At December  31, 1998,  the maximum  amount we could have loaned to any one
borrower  and the  borrower's  related  entities was $2.8  million.  Our largest
lending  relationship  to a  single  borrower  or a group of  related  borrowers
totaled $2.6 million at December 31, 1998,  consisting  of two loans to a single
borrower secured by a multi-family  dwelling and a single family residence.  The
second largest lending relationship totaled $2.4 million, consisting of multiple
loans to a single borrower secured by multi-family rental properties.  The third
largest lending relationship totaled $2.2 million,  consisting of multiple loans
to a single  borrower  secured by one- to four-family  and  multi-family  rental
properties. All of these loans were performing in accordance with their terms at
December  31,  1998.  At  December  31,  1998,  we had 26 other loans or lending
relationships  to a  single  borrower  or  group  of  related  borrowers  with a
principal  balance in excess of $1.0  million,  all of which were  performing in
accordance with their repayment terms.

One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending

     Our lending  program  focuses on the origination of permanent loans secured
by  mortgages  on  owner-occupied,  one-  to  four-family  residences.  We  also
originate loans secured by nonowner-occupied, one- to four-family residences. At
December  31,  1998,  $113.2  million,  or 55.08% of our  total  loan  portfolio
consisted  of  permanent  loans  secured  by  one-  to  four-family  residences.
Substantially  all of these  loans  were  secured by  properties  located in our
primary  market area.  We originate a variety of  residential  loans,  including
conventional 15 and 30 year fixed-rate  loans,  fixed-rate loans  convertible to
adjustable rate loans, adjustable rate loans and balloon loans.

     Our  one- to  four-family  residential  adjustable  rate  loans  are  fully
amortizing  loans with  contractual  maturities of up to 30 years.  The interest
rates on  substantially  all of the adjustable  rate loans  originated by us are
subject to adjustment at one, three or five year intervals.  Our adjustable rate
mortgage  products  generally  carry  interest rates which are reset to a stated
margin  over the  weekly  average of the one,  three or five year U.S.  Treasury
rates.  Increases or decreases in the interest  rate of our one-year  adjustable
rate loans are generally  limited to 2% annually  with a lifetime  interest rate
cap of 6% over the initial rate.  Increases or decreases in the interest rate of
three-year  and five-year  adjustable  rate loans are limited to a 3% adjustment
cap with a 5% lifetime  interest  rate cap over the initial  rate.  Our one-year
adjustable rate loans may be convertible into fixed-rates  loans after the first
year and before the sixth year upon payment of a fee, do not contain  prepayment
penalties  and do not produce  negative  amortization.  Initial  interest  rates
offered  on our  adjustable  rate  loans may be below the  fully  indexed  rate.
Borrowers  are  qualified at 2% over the initial  interest rate for our one-year
adjustable  rate loans and at the initial  interest rate for our  three-year and
five-year adjustable rate loans. At December 31, 1998, the total balance of one-
to four- family adjustable rate loans was $62.7 million,  or 30.53% of our gross
loan  portfolio.  We generally  retain  adjustable  rate loans in our  portfolio
pursuant to the asset/liability  management  strategy.  Three-year and five-year
adjustable  rate loans  represented  $60.2 million and one-year  adjustable rate
loans  represented  $2.5 million of our total  adjustable rate loans at December
31, 1998.

     We also offer fixed-rate  mortgage loans to owner occupants with maturities
up to 30 years and which conform to Freddie Mac standards.  We currently sell in
the secondary market the majority of our long-term, conforming, fixed-rate loans
with terms over 15 years. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of  Operations  -Asset/Liability  Management;  Market Risk
Analysis"  in the  Annual  Report to  Stockholders  filed as  Exhibit 13 to this
Annual Report.  Interest rates charged on these fixed-rate loans are priced on a
daily basis in accordance with Freddie Mac pricing standards. These loans do not
include prepayment penalties.

     In 1995,  we expanded  our product line to better  compete for  residential
mortgage loan  customers by offering 30 year,  fixed-rate  mortgage loans which,
after five or seven  years  convert to our  standard  one-year  adjustable  rate
mortgage for the remainder of the term.

     We had $42.5 million in nonowner-occupied  one- to four-family  residential
loans at December 31, 1998. These loans are underwritten using the same criteria
as  owner-occupied,  one-to  four-family  residential loans, but are provided at
higher rates than owner-occupied loans. We offer fixed-rate, adjustable-rate and
convertible rate loans, with terms of up to 30 years.


                                       8
<PAGE>

     We originate  residential mortgage loans with loan-to-value ratios of up to
95% for  owner-occupied  residential  loans and up to 80% for  nonowner-occupied
residential  loans. We require private mortgage  insurance in an amount intended
to reduce our  exposure  to 80% or less of the lesser of the  purchase  price or
appraised value of the underlying collateral.

     In  underwriting  one- to  four-family  residential  real estate loans,  we
evaluate both the borrower's  ability to make monthly  payments and the value of
the  property  securing the loan.  Properties  securing  owner-occupied  one- to
four-family  residential  real  estate  loans  that we  make  are  appraised  by
independent fee appraisers.  We require  borrowers to obtain title insurance and
fire,  extended  coverage  casualty and flood  insurance,  if appropriate.  Real
estate  loans that we originate  contain a "due on sale"  clause  allowing us to
declare  the  unpaid  principal  balance  due and  payable  upon the sale of the
security property.

Multi-Family and Commercial Real Estate Lending

     We originate  permanent loans secured by  multi-family  and commercial real
estate.  At December 31, 1998, our  multi-family and commercial real estate loan
portfolio totaled $51.9 million, or 25.24% of our total loan portfolio, compared
to $41.3 million and $38.6 million,  or 22.29% and 23.00%,  at December 31, 1997
and 1996,  respectively.  The increase in the commercial and  multi-family  loan
portfolio is due to the hiring  during 1994 of an  experienced  commercial  loan
officer to further develop this portfolio.

     Our  permanent  multi-family  and  commercial  real estate  loan  portfolio
includes  loans  secured by apartment  buildings,  office  buildings,  churches,
warehouses,  retail stores, shopping centers, small business facilities and farm
properties, most of which are located within our primary market area.

     Permanent  multi-family  and commercial real estate loans are originated as
three-year  and  five-year   adjustable   rate  loans  with  up  to  a  24  year
amortization.  To a substantially lesser extent, such loans are originated as 10
year fixed-rate  loans.  The adjustable rate loans are tied to an index based on
the  weekly  average  of  the  three-year  or  five-year  U.S.   Treasury  rate,
respectively,  plus a stated  margin  over the  index.  Multi-family  loans  and
commercial  real estate  loans have been  written in amounts of up to 75% of the
lesser  of the  appraised  value of the  property  or the  purchase  price,  and
borrowers are generally personally liable for all or part of the indebtedness.

     Appraisals on properties  securing  multi-family and commercial real estate
loans  originated  in excess of  $100,000  by us are  performed  by  independent
appraisers  designated  by us at the  time  the  loan is made  and  reviewed  by
management.   In  addition,   our  underwriting   procedures  generally  require
verification of the borrower's credit history,  income and financial statements,
banking relationships and income projections for the property.

     Multi-family  and commercial real estate loans  generally  present a higher
level of risk than loans secured by one- to four-family residences. This greater
risk is due to several  factors,  including the  concentration of principal in a
limited  number  of  loans  and  borrowers,  the  effects  of  general  economic
conditions  on income  producing  properties  and the  increased  difficulty  of
evaluating and monitoring  these types of loans.  Furthermore,  the repayment of
loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate is typically  dependent
upon the successful  operation of the related real estate  project.  If the cash
flow from the project is reduced (for example, if leases are not obtained or


                                       9
<PAGE>

renewed,  or a  bankruptcy  court  modifies a lease term,  or a major  tenant is
unable to fulfill its lease  obligations),  the borrower's  ability to repay the
loan may be impaired.

Construction, Land and Land Development Lending

     We make  construction  loans to individuals  for the  construction of their
residences as well as to builders and developers for the construction of one- to
four-family  residences,  multi-family  dwellings  and  commercial  real  estate
projects. At December 31, 1998, substantially all of these loans were secured by
property  located  within our primary  market area. At December 31, 1998, we had
$12.2 million in construction loans outstanding, representing 5.95% of our total
loan portfolio.

     Construction loans to individuals for their residences typically run six to
eight months and are generally  structured to be converted to permanent loans at
the end of the  construction  phase.  These  construction  loans are  fixed-rate
loans,  with  interest  rates  higher  than  those  that  we  offer  on  one- to
four-family  loans.  During the  construction  phase, the borrower pays interest
only.  Residential  construction  loans are  underwritten  pursuant  to the same
guidelines used for  originating  permanent  residential  loans. At December 31,
1998, we had $4.3 million of construction  loans to borrowers  intending to live
in the properties upon completion of construction.

     Construction loans to builders of one- to four-family residences have terms
of six to eight months and require the payment of interest  only at a fixed-rate
for the loan term. We limit builders to one home construction loan at a time but
would consider requests for more than one if the homes are presold.  At December
31,  1998,  we had $3.9  million of  construction  loans to  builders  of one-to
four-family residences.

     We make  construction  loans to  builders  of  multi-family  dwellings  and
commercial  projects  with terms up to one year and require  payment of interest
only at a fixed rate for the  construction  phase of the loan.  These  loans are
generally  structured  to be converted to one of our permanent  commercial  loan
products at the end of the construction phase. At December 31, 1998, we had $4.0
million of loans to finance  the  construction  of  multi-family  dwellings  and
commercial projects.

     We also make  loans to  builders  for the  purpose  of  developing  one- to
four-family  lots and residential  condominium  projects.  These loans typically
have terms of two to three years with interest rates tied to our base rate which
is determined  by a rate survey of a cross  section of local banks.  The maximum
loan to value ratio is 75%. The principal in these loans is typically  paid down
as lots or units are sold.  These loans may be structured as revolving  lines of
credit with  maturities of generally two years or less. At December 31, 1998, we
had $5.2 million of development loans to builders. We also make a limited number
of land  acquisition  loans.  At December  31,  1998,  we had  $925,000 in loans
secured by land.

     Construction  and  development  loans  are  obtained   principally  through
continued  business from  developers and builders who have  previously  borrowed
from us, as well as referrals from existing customers and realtors,  and walk-in
customers.  The  application  process  includes a  submission  to us of accurate
plans, specifications and costs of the project to be constructed/developed which
are used as a basis to determine  the appraised  value of the subject  property.
Loans are based on the  lesser of  current  appraised  value  and/or the cost of
construction, which is the land plus the building.

     At December 31, 1998, our largest  construction  and development loan was a
development  loan for a small  residential  subdivision for $900,000.  We had no
non-performing construction loans at December 31, 1998.

     Construction and land development loans generally present a higher level of
risk than  loans  secured  by one- to  four-family  residences.  Because  of the
uncertainties inherent in estimating land development and construction costs and
the market for the  project  upon  completion,  it is  relatively  difficult  to
evaluate  accurately  the total loan funds  required to complete a project,  the
related  loan-to-value  ratios and the  likelihood  of  ultimate  success of the
project.  Construction  and land  development  loans  to  borrowers  other  than
owner-occupants  also involve many of the same risks  discussed  above regarding
multi-family  and commercial  real estate loans and tend to be more sensitive to
general economic conditions than many other types of loans.

Consumer Lending

     We originate a variety of different types of consumer loans, including home
equity loans,  direct  automobile  loans,  home improvement  loans,  credit card
loans, deposit account loans and other secured and unsecured loans for household
and personal purposes.  Consumer loan terms vary according to the type and value
of  collateral,  length of contract and  creditworthiness  of the borrower.  The
largest  component of consumer  lending is home equity loans which totaled $10.6
million  or 5.14% of the total loan  portfolio  at  December  31,  1998.  We are
currently  offering a  revolving  line of credit  home  equity loan on which the
total  commitment  amount  may not  exceed  95% of the  appraised  value  of the
property,  with a five year term and  minimum  monthly  payment  requirement  of
interest  only.  At December 31,  1998,  we had $11.3  million of unused  credit
available under our home equity line of credit program.

     Our  underwriting  standards for consumer loans include a determination  of
the  applicant's  payment  history  on other  debts  and their  ability  to meet
existing   obligations   and   payments   on   the   proposed   loan.   Although
creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration,  our underwriting
process also  includes a  comparison  of the value of the  security,  if any, in
relation to the proposed loan amount.  Consumer  loans may entail greater credit
risk than do residential  mortgage  loans,  particularly in the case of consumer
loans which are unsecured or are secured by rapidly  depreciable assets, such as
automobiles.  In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer
loan may not provide an adequate  source of  repayment of the  outstanding  loan
balance as a result of the greater  likelihood of damage,  loss or depreciation.
In  addition,   consumer  loan  collections  are  dependent  on  the  borrower's
continuing  financial  stability,  and thus are more  likely to be  affected  by
adverse personal circumstances.  Furthermore, the application of various federal
and state laws,  including  bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount
which can be recovered on such loans.

Commercial Business Lending

     Our current commercial business lending activities encompass  predominantly
unsecured  lines of  credit  and  purchased  leases  secured  by small  business
equipment  such as copy and  facsimile  machines.  At December 31, 1998,  we had
$523,000 of unsecured lines of credit outstanding with $631,000 of unused credit
available.  During the early part of 1994,  we hired an  experienced  commercial
loan officer to develop  this area of lending,  as well as our  commercial  real
estate


                                       11
<PAGE>

portfolio.  At December 31, 1998,  our  commercial  business  loans totaled $5.5
million compared to $3.7 million at December 31, 1997, excluding $2.1 million of
loans secured by purchased  leases through the Bennett  Funding  Group.  See " -
Non-Performing  Assets - Non-Accruing  Loans." We intend to continue to increase
our portfolio of commercial business loans.

     Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of
the  borrower's  ability to make  repayment from his or her employment and other
income and which are  secured by real  property  the value of which  tends to be
more easily  ascertainable,  commercial business loans typically are made on the
basis of the  borrower's  ability  to make  repayment  from the cash flow of the
borrower's business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of
commercial  business loans may be substantially  dependent on the success of the
business  itself,  which is likely to be  dependent  upon the  general  economic
environment.  Our  commercial  business  loans are  sometimes,  but not  always,
secured by business  assets.  However,  the  collateral  securing  the loans may
depreciate  over time,  may be difficult to appraise and may  fluctuate in value
based on the success of the business.

     We recognize  the  increased  risks  associated  with  commercial  business
lending.   Our  commercial   business  lending  policy  emphasizes  credit  file
documentation  and analysis of the borrower's  character,  capacity to repay the
loan,  the  adequacy  of the  borrower's  capital and  collateral  as well as an
evaluation of the industry  conditions  affecting the borrower.  Analysis of the
borrower's  past,  present and future cash flows is also an important  aspect of
our credit analysis.

Loan Originations, Purchases and Sales

     Real estate loans are originated by our staff of salaried loan officers and
our residential mortgage loan originators who receive applications from existing
customers,  walk-in customers,  and referrals from realtors.  All types of loans
may be originated in any of our four offices.

     While we originate both  adjustable-rate  and fixed-rate loans, our ability
to originate  loans is dependent upon the relative  customer demand for loans in
our market. Demand is affected by the interest rate environment.  Currently, all
conforming fixed-rate residential mortgage loans with maturities of 15 years and
over are  originated  for sale in the secondary  market.  We currently sell such
loans primarily to Freddie Mac while retaining the servicing rights. These loans
are  originated  to satisfy  customer  demand and to generate fee income and are
sold to achieve the goals of our asset/liability management program.

     When  loans are sold,  we retain  the  responsibility  for  collecting  and
remitting  loan  payments,   inspecting  the  properties,  making  certain  that
insurance  and real estate tax  payments  are made on behalf of  borrowers,  and
otherwise  service the loans.  We receive a servicing fee for  performing  these
services.  We service for others mortgage loans that we originate and sell which
amounted to $61.3 million at December 31, 1998.

     We  purchase a limited  amount of  participation  interests  in real estate
loans from other  financial  institutions  outside our primary  market area.  We
currently have loan participations in Michigan and Illinois. We carefully review
and  underwrite  all  loans  to be  purchased  to  insure  that  they  meet  our
underwriting standards.

     In periods of rising interest rates,  our ability to originate large dollar
volumes of real estate loans may be substantially reduced or restricted,  with a
resultant decrease in related operating


                                       12
<PAGE>

earnings. In addition,  our ability to sell loans may substantially  decrease as
potential buyers reduce their purchasing activities.

     The   following   table  shows  our  loan  and   mortgage-backed   security
origination,  purchase, sale and repayment activities for the periods indicated.
One- to  four-family  fixed rate loans include $6.8  million,  $4.0 million $3.3
million of loans  originated  during 1996,  1997 and 1998,  respectively,  which
carry a fixed rate of  interest  for the  initial  five or seven  years and then
convert to a one year  adjustable rate of interest for the remaining term of the
loan

Asset Quality

     When a borrower  fails to make a required  payment on a loan, we attempt to
cause the  delinquency  to be cured by contacting  the borrower.  In the case of
residential  loans,  a late  notice  is sent for  accounts  seven  or more  days
delinquent.  If the  delinquency is not cured by the 15th day, the borrower will
be assessed a late charge. Additional written and oral contacts may be made with
the  borrower  between  20 and 30 days  after the due date.  If the  delinquency
continues  for a period of 60 days,  we  usually  send a  default  letter to the
borrower and, after 90 days,  institute  appropriate  action to foreclose on the
property.  If  foreclosed,  the  property  is sold at public  auction and we may
purchase it.  Delinquent  consumer  loans are handled in a similar  manner.  Our
procedures  for  repossession  and sale of  consumer  collateral  are subject to
various  requirements  under Indiana  consumer  protection  laws.  Our levels of
delinquent loans have not been significant in recent years.

     Delinquent  Loans.  The following table sets forth  information  concerning
delinquent  loans at December 31, 1998, in dollar amounts and as a percentage of
each category of our loan portfolio.  The amounts  represent the total remaining
principal balances of the related loans,  rather than the actual payment amounts
which are overdue.

     Non-Performing   Assets.  The  table  below  sets  forth  the  amounts  and
categories of  non-performing  assets.  Interest income on loans is accrued over
the term of the loans based upon the principal  outstanding except where serious
doubt exists as to the  collectibility  of a loan,  in which case the accrual of
interest is discontinued. Non-accruing loans at December 31, 1998 include a $1.4
million  troubled  debt  restructuring,  which  involve  forgiving  a portion of
interest or  principal on any loans or making loans at a rate or with a maturity
less than that  customary in our market,  related to the Bennett  Funding  Group
leases.  We are earning only 1.0% on the loan.  At December 31, 1998, we did not
have an accruing loan  delinquent  more than 90 days or foreclosed  assets.  The
loan amounts  shown do not reflect  reserves set up against such assets.  See "-

     For the year ended  December 31, 1998,  gross  interest  income which would
have been recorded had the  non-accruing  loans been current in accordance  with
their  original  terms was  $157,000,  none of which was  included  in  interest
income.

     In 1996, 1997 and 1998, the non-accruing commercial business loan consisted
almost  entirely of small equipment lease loans to the Bennett Funding Group. In
1997, we restructured  $1.5 million of the $2.4 million of Bennett Funding Group
loans and  recorded  a $135,000  loss on the loan.  We are  earning  1.0% on the
restructured  amount until December,  1999 when we will be paid the full amount.
We recorded a $184,000 loss on the remaining $855,000 balance,  leaving $671,000
subject to litigation and classified as non-performing.

     Classified Assets.  Federal  regulations  provide for the classification of
loans and other  assets,  such as debt and equity  securities  considered by the
Office  of  Thrift  Supervision  to  be of  lesser  quality,  as  "substandard,"
"doubtful" or "loss." An asset is considered "substandard" if it is inadequately
protected by the current net worth and paying  capacity of the obligor or of the
collateral pledged, if any.  "Substandard" assets include those characterized by
the "distinct possibility" that the insured institution will sustain "some loss"
if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Assets classified as "doubtful" have all
of the weaknesses  inherent in those  classified  "substandard,"  with the added
characteristic  that the weaknesses  present make  "collection or liquidation in
full," on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, "highly
questionable and improbable."  Assets  classified as "loss" are those considered
"uncollectible"  and of such  little  value  that  their  continuance  as assets
without the  establishment  of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.  Assets
which do not currently  expose the  institution  to  sufficient  risk to warrant
classification in one of the


                                       15
<PAGE>

aforementioned  categories but possess  weaknesses are required to be designated
"special mention" by management.

     When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard
or doubtful,  it may establish  general  allowances for loan losses in an amount
deemed prudent by management. General allowances represent loss allowances which
have been  established  to recognize the inherent risk  associated  with lending
activities,  but which, unlike specific  allowances,  have not been allocated to
particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets
as "loss," it is required  either to establish a specific  allowance  for losses
equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so  classified  or to charge off such
amount.  An institution's  determination as to the  classification of its assets
and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the Office of
Thrift Supervision and the FDIC, which may order the establishment of additional
general or specific loss allowances.

     In  connection  with the filing of our periodic  reports with the Office of
Thrift  Supervision and in accordance with our  classification of assets policy,
we regularly review the problem assets in our portfolio to determine whether any
assets require  classification  in accordance  with applicable  regulations.  At
December 31, 1998, we had classified  $2.1 million of our loans as  substandard,
$671,000 as doubtful and none as loss. At December 31, 1998,  we had  designated
$1.5 million in loans as special mention.

     Other  Loans of  Concern.  Included  in other  loans of concern are certain
potential  problem  loans  which  are  classified  as  substandard  or have been
categorized as special mention that management  believes are adequately  secured
and  for  which  no  material  loss  is  expected,   but  as  to  which  certain
circumstances  may cause the  borrowers  to be unable to comply with the present
loan repayment terms at some future date.  Such potential  problem loans consist
primarily of (i) a single family residence and a multi-family residential rental
property to a single borrower with outstanding  balances of $327,000 at December
31, 1998, to which  management has concerns as to the cash flow of the borrower;
(ii)  multiple  loans to a single  borrower  secured  by a retail  store and the
personal  residence of the borrower with an  outstanding  balance of $241,000 at
December 31, 1998, which was restructured  during 1988 whereby interest past due
was  written  as a  separate  note due and  payable  when the  borrower's  other
outstanding debt has been paid off, where the retail store is experiencing  cash
flow  problems;  (iii) multiple  loans to a single  borrower  secured by one- to
four-family  residential  rental property and a multi-family  residential rental
property  with an  outstanding  balance of $294,000 at December 31, 1998,  where
management has concerns  about the cash flow of the borrower;  and (iv) multiple
loans to a single borrower, partially secured by a residence and equipment, with
an outstanding  balance of $183,000 at December 31, 1998,  where  management has
concerns  about the viability of the  underlying  business.  The majority of the
remaining  classified  assets  are single  loans to  borrowers  for  residential
property.

     Allowance  for Loan Losses.  We  established  an allowance  for loan losses
based on a  systematic  analysis  of risk  factors in the loan  portfolio.  This
analysis includes  evaluation of concentrations of credit, past loss experience,
current  economic  conditions,  amount and  composition  of the loan  portfolio,
estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, loan commitments outstanding,
delinquencies,  industry  standards and other factors.  Because we have had only
nominal loan losses during our recent past,  management  also considers the loss
experience of similar  portfolios in comparable lending markets as well as using
the services of a consultant to assist in the


                                       16
<PAGE>

evaluation of our growing  commercial real estate and business loan  portfolios.
Management's  analysis  results in the  allocation of allowance  amounts to each
loan type. Although,  management believes it uses the best information available
to make such  determinations,  future  adjustments to reserves may be necessary,
and  net  income  could  be  significantly  affected,  if  circumstances  differ
substantially  from the assumptions  used in making the initial  determinations.
See "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Results of Operations Provision for Loan Losses."

     The  following  table  sets forth an  analysis  of our  allowance  for loan
losses.

Investment Activities

     We must maintain minimum levels of securities that qualify as liquid assets
under the Office of Thrift  Supervision  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, we have maintained
liquid assets at levels above the minimum  requirements imposed by the Office of
Thrift  Supervision  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 December 31, 1998 our liquidity ratio, liquid assets
as a percentage of net withdrawable  savings deposits and current borrowings was
11.77%.  Our  level of  liquidity  is a result of  management's  asset/liability
strategy.  See "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations -  Asset/Liability  Management;  Market Risk Analysis" and
"-Liquidity and Capital Resources" in the Annual Report to Stockholders filed as
Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report.

     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.

     Generally,  we invest funds among  various  categories of  investments  and
maturities based upon our asset/liability  management policies,  concern for the

Sources of Funds

     General. Our primary source of funds are deposits, repayment and prepayment
of  loans,  interest  earned  on or  maturation  of  investment  securities  and
short-term investments, borrowings and funds provided from operations.

     Deposits.  We offer a variety of deposit accounts.  Our deposits consist of
passbook and statement savings accounts, money market accounts, NOW accounts and
certificate  accounts. We only solicit deposits from our primary market area and
we do not use  brokers to obtain  deposits.  We rely  primarily  on  competitive
pricing policies,  advertising, and customer service to attract and retain these
deposits.

     The flow of  deposits  is  influenced  significantly  by  general  economic
conditions,   changes  in  money  market  and  prevailing   interest  rates  and
competition.  The  variety of  deposit  accounts  we offer has  allowed us to be
competitive  in obtaining  funds and to respond with  flexibility  to changes in
consumer  demand.  We manage the  pricing of our  deposits  in keeping  with our
asset/liability  management,  profitability and growth objectives.  Based on our
experience,  we  believe  that our  savings,  interest  and  noninterest-bearing
checking  accounts  are  relatively  stable  sources of deposits.  However,  our
ability to attract and maintain  certificates of deposit,  and the rates paid on
these  deposits,  has been and will  continue  to be  significantly  affected by
market conditions.

     Borrowings.  Our other available  sources of funds include  borrowings from
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and other borrowings.  As a member of
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, we are required to own capital stock
in the Federal Home Loan Bank and are  authorized to apply for  borrowings  from
the Federal Home Loan Bank.  Each Federal Home Loan Bank credit  program has its
own  interest  rate,  which  may be  fixed  or  variable,  and  have a range  of
maturities.  The  Federal  Home  Loan Bank of  Indianapolis  may  prescribe  the
acceptable  uses for these, as well as limitations on the size of the borrowings
and repayment provisions.

     We utilize Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings as part of our asset/liability
management  strategy  in order to cost  effectively  extend the  maturity of our
liabilities. We may be required to pay a commitment fee upon application and may
be subject to a prepayment fee if we prepay the advance. See Note 6 of the Notes
to the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  contained  in the Annual  Report to
Shareholders attached as Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report.

Subsidiary and Other Activities

     We own a service corporation, L.S.B. Service Corporation. In April 1994, we
made an initial  investment  of $51,000 in L.S.B.  Service  Corporation  when it
became a 14.16% limited  partner in a low-income  housing  project in Lafayette,
Indiana, pursuant to a 10 year commitment totaling $500,000. During 1998, L.S.B.
Service  Corporation  received a $23,000 tax credit related to its investment in
the project and recorded a net loss of $3,000.  At December 31, 1998,  our total
investment in L.S.B. Service Corporation was $262,000.

     Lafayette  Savings formed  Lafayette  Insurance and  Investments,  Inc., an
Indiana corporation,  on December 31, 1996. Lafayette Insurance and Investments,
Inc.  began offering  various  insurance,  annuity and  investment  products and
services to our  customers  in June of 1997.  At December  31,  1998,  our total
investment in Lafayette  Insurance and Investments,  Inc. was $9,000.  Lafayette
Insurance and Investments, Inc. recognized losses of $12,000 during 1998.

Competition

     We face strong competition, both in originating real estate and other loans
and in attracting  deposits.  Competition in originating real estate loans comes
primarily from other savings  institutions,  commercial banks, credit unions and
mortgage  bankers  making  loans  secured by real estate  located in  Tippecanoe
County, our primary market area. Other savings  institutions,  commercial banks,
credit unions and finance  companies  provide  vigorous  competition in consumer
lending.

     We attract all of our deposits  through our branch offices,  primarily from
the   communities  in  which  those  branch  offices  are  located;   therefore,
competition for those deposits is principally  from other savings  institutions,
commercial  banks and credit unions  located in the same  communities as well as
mutual funds and other financial  intermediaries.  We compete for these deposits
by  offering a variety of deposit  accounts  at  competitive  rates,  convenient
business hours and convenient  branch  locations  with  interbranch  deposit and
withdrawal privileges.

     There are 12 other  savings  institutions  and banks in our primary  market
area.  We  estimate  our  share of the  savings  market  and  mortgage  loans in
Tippecanoe County to both be approximately 9%.

                                   REGULATION

General

     We are 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,  we  are  subject  to  broad  federal  regulation  and
oversight  extending to all our operations.  We are a member of the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Indianapolis  and are subject to certain limited  regulation by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  As the thrift holding company
of Lafayette  Savings,  LSB Financial also is subject to federal  regulation and
oversight.

Federal Regulation of Savings Associations

     The  Office  of  Thrift  Supervision  has  extensive   authority  over  the
operations of savings institutions.  As part of this authority,  we are required
to file periodic  reports with the Office of Thrift  Supervision and are subject
to periodic  examinations by the Office of Thrift  Supervision and the FDIC. The
last regular Office of Thrift  Supervision and FDIC  examinations were September
1997 and March 1992, respectively.  When these examinations are conducted by the
Office of Thrift  Supervision  and the FDIC,  the  examiners  may  require us to
provide  for  higher  general  or  specific  loan  loss  reserves.  All  savings
institutions  are subject to a  semi-annual  assessment,  based upon the savings
institution's  total  assets,  to fund the  operations  of the  Office of Thrift
Supervision.

     The Office of Thrift Supervision also has extensive  enforcement  authority
over all savings  institutions  and their holding  companies.  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.

     Our 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 December 31,
1998, our lending limit under this  restriction  was $2.8 million.  See "Lending
Activities - General."

Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC

     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 Bank Insurance Fund or the Savings  Association  Insurance Fund. The FDIC
also  has  the  authority  to  initiate   enforcement  actions  against  savings
institutions,  after giving the Office of Thrift  Supervision  an opportunity to
take  action,  and may  terminate  deposit  insurance if it  determines  that an
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. Under the system, institutions classified as
well  capitalized  (i.e., a core capital ratio of at least 5%, a ratio of Tier 1
or core capital to  risk-weighted  assets  ("Tier 1  risk-based  capital") of at
least 6% and a risk-based  capital ratio of at least 10%) and considered healthy
pay the  lowest  premium  while  institutions  that  are  less  than  adequately
capitalized (i.e., core or Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of less than 4% or a
risk-based  capital  ratio  of less  than  8%)  and  considered  of  substantial
supervisory concern pay the highest premium.  Risk classification of all insured
institutions is made by the FDIC semi-annually.

     Effective January 1, 1997, the premium schedule for Bank Insurance Fund and
Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund insured  institutions  ranged from 0 to 27
basis points. However,  Savings Association Insurance Fund-insured  institutions
are  required to pay a Financing  Corporation  assessment,  in order to fund the
interest on bonds issued to resolve thrift failures in the 1980s. In


                                       26
<PAGE>

1998,  this amount was equal to about six basis points for each $100 in domestic
deposits for Savings  Association  Insurance Fund members,  while Bank Insurance
Fund-insured  institutions pay an assessment  equal to approximately  1.50 basis
points for each $100 in domestic deposits.  The savings institutions  assessment
is  expected  to be reduced to about two basis  points no later than  January 1,
2000,  when Bank Insurance Fund insured  institutions  fully  participate in the
assessment. These assessments, which may be revised based upon the level of Bank
Insurance Fund and Savings  Association  Insurance Fund deposits,  will continue
until the bonds mature in the year 2017.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

     All federally insured savings institutions are required to maintain minimum
capital  standards,  including  a tangible  capital,  a leverage  ratio (or core
capital) and a risk-based capital requirements.  The capital regulations require
tangible  capital  of at least  1.5% of  adjusted  total  assets,  as defined by
regulations.  At December 31, 1998, we had tangible capital of $17.0 million, or
7.34% of  adjusted  total  assets,  which is $13.5  million  above  the  minimum
requirement of 1.5% of adjusted total assets.

     The capital  standards also require core capital equal to at least 3% to 4%
of adjusted total assets,  depending on an  institutions's  supervisory  rating.
Core capital  generally  consists of tangible  capital  plus certain  intangible
assets  including a limited amount of purchased  credit card  relationships.  At
December  31,  1998,  we had core capital  equal to $17.0  million,  or 7.34% of
adjusted total assets,  which is $10.1 million above the minimum  leverage ratio
requirement of 3% as in effect on that date.

     The Office of Thrift Supervision  risk-based  requirement  requires savings
institutions 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.

     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 Office of Thrift Supervision 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 Fannie Mae or
Freddie Mac.

     On December 31, 1998 we had total capital of $18.1 million, including $17.0
million in core capital and $1.0 million in  qualifying  supplementary  capital,
and risk-weighted assets of $146.6 million, including $18.7 million in converted
off-balance  sheet assets,  or total capital of 11.5% of  risk-weighted  assets.
This amount was $5.1 million above the 8% requirement in effect on that date.

     The  Office  of  Thrift   Supervision   is  authorized  to  impose  capital
requirements  in excess  of these  standards  on  individual  associations  on a
case-by-case basis. The Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC are authorized
and,  under certain  circumstances  required,  to take certain  actions  against
savings institutions that fail to meet their capital requirements. These actions
may include


                                       27
<PAGE>

submission  of  a  capital  restoration  plan  and  various  limitations  on  an
institution's  growth and operations,  depending upon an  institution's  capital
category.  In  certain  cases the FDIC or the Office of Thrift  Supervision  may
appoint a conservator or receiver for the institution.

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

     The  imposition by the Office of Thrift  Supervision  or the FDIC of any of
these measures on Lafayette Savings may have a substantial adverse effect on its
operations and profitability.

Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions

     Office of Thrift  Supervision  regulations  impose various  restrictions on
savings  institutions  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.  Office of Thrift
Supervision  regulations  also prohibit a savings  institution 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.

     The Office of Thrift Supervision  recently revised regulations provide that
a savings  institution  may make a capital  distribution  without  notice to the
Office of Thrift  Supervision,  unless it is a subsidiary of a holding  company,
provided that it has a regulatory rating in the two top examination  categories,
is not of supervisory concern, and would remain well-capitalized,  as defined in
the Office of Thrift Supervision prompt corrective action regulations, following
the proposed  distribution,  and the distribution does not exceed its net income
for the  calendar  year-to-date  plus  retained  net income for the previous two
calendar years (less any dividends  previously paid).  Savings institutions that
would remain adequately capitalized following the proposed distribution and meet
the other noted  requirements  must notify the Office of Thrift  Supervision  30
days prior to declaring a capital distribution.  All other institutions or those
seeking to exceed the noted amounts must file an  application  before making the
distribution.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test

     All savings  institutions  are required to meet a qualified  thrift  lender
test to avoid certain  restrictions  on their  operations.  This test requires a
savings  institution 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  institution
may maintain 60% of its assets in those assets specified in Section  7701(a)(19)
of the Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended.  Under  either test,  these
assets primarily  consist of residential  housing related loans and investments.
At  December  31,  1998,  we met the test and have  always met the test since it
became effective.

     Any savings institution that fails to meet the qualified thrift lender test
must convert to a national bank,  unless it  requalifies  as a qualified  thrift
lender and remains a qualified  thrift  lender.  If an  institution  has not yet
requalified or converted to a national bank, its new investments and


                                       28
<PAGE>

activities are limited to those permissible for both a savings institution and a
national bank,  and it is limited to national bank branching  rights in its home
state. In addition, the institution is immediately ineligible to receive any new
Federal Home Loan Bank  borrowings.  If the  institution  has not requalified or
converted to a national bank within three years after the failure,  it must sell
all  investments and stop all activities not permissible for a national bank. In
addition,  it must  repay  promptly  any  outstanding  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank
borrowings,  which may result in prepayment  penalties.  If any institution that
fails the qualified thrift lender 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, 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 Community  Reinvestment Act requires the
Office of Thrift Supervision,  in connection with our examination, to assess our
record of meeting the credit needs of our community and to take this record into
account  in its  evaluation  of  certain  applications,  such as a merger or the
establishment of a branch, by Lafayette Savings. An unsatisfactory rating may be
used as the  basis  for the  denial of an  application  by the  Office of Thrift
Supervision.  We were  examined for  Community  Reinvestment  Act  compliance in
January 1999 and received a rating of outstanding.

Holding Company Regulation

     LSB  Financial  is a unitary  savings and loan holding  company  subject to
regulatory  oversight  by the Office of Thrift  Supervision.  LSB  Financial  is
required to register and file reports with the Office of Thrift  Supervision and
is subject to regulation and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision. In
addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision has enforcement authority over us and
our non-savings institution subsidiaries which also permits the Office of Thrift
Supervision  to restrict  or prohibit  activities  that are  determined  to be a
serious risk to the subsidiary savings institution.

     As a unitary savings and loan holding company,  LSB Financial  generally is
not subject to  activity  restrictions.  If LSB  Financial  acquires  control of
another savings institution as a separate subsidiary, it would become a multiple
savings and loan holding company, and its activities and any of its subsidiaries
(other than Lafayette Savings or any other savings  institution) would generally
become subject to additional restrictions.

     If LSB Financial fails the qualified thrift lender test, within one year it
must register as, and become subject to, the significant  activity  restrictions
applicable to bank holding companies.

Federal Securities Law

     LSB  Financial  stock is  registered  with  the SEC  under  the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934,  as  amended.  We are subject to the  information,  proxy
solicitation,  insider trading  restrictions  and other  requirements of the SEC
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.



                                       29
<PAGE>

     LSB Financial stock that is held by persons who are  affiliates,  generally
including officers,  directors and 10% stockholders of LSB Financial, may not be
resold  without  registration  or unless sold in accordance  with certain resale
restrictions. If we meet specified current public information requirements, each
of our affiliates are able to sell in the public market, without registration, a
limited number of shares in any three-month period.

Federal Home Loan Bank System

     We are a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, which is one
of 12  regional  Federal  Home Loan Banks that  administers  the home  financing
credit function of savings institutions. Each Federal Home Loan Bank serves as a
reserve or central  bank for its members  within its assigned  region.  It makes
loans to members in accordance with policies and procedures,  established by the
board of  directors  of the  Federal  Home Loan Bank,  which are  subject to the
oversight of the Federal  Housing  Finance Board.  All advances from the Federal
Home Loan Bank are  required to be fully  secured by  sufficient  collateral  as
determined  by the Federal Home Loan Bank. In addition,  all long-term  advances
must be used for residential home financing.

     As a member,  we are required to purchase and maintain stock in the Federal
Home Loan Bank of  Indianapolis.  At December 31,  1998,  we had $2.8 million in
Federal Home Loan Bank stock, which was in compliance with this requirement.  We
receive dividends on our Federal Home Loan Bank stock.  These dividends averaged
7.98% for 1998.

Federal and State Taxation

     Savings  institutions that meet certain  definitional tests relating to the
composition of assets and other  conditions  prescribed by the Internal  Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended,  are permitted to establish reserves for bad debts and
to make annual additions 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  is  computed  under  the  experience
method.

     In addition to the regular  income  tax,  corporations,  including  savings
institutions, 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.

     A portion of our  reserves  for losses on loans which are  presented on the
statement of financial condition as retained earnings,  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 December  31, 1998,  the portion of our reserves  subject to this
treatment for tax purposes totaled approximately $1.9 million.

     We file consolidated  federal income tax returns with our subsidiaries on a
calendar year basis using the accrual method of accounting. Savings institutions
that  file  federal  income  tax  returns  as part of a  consolidated  group are
required by applicable Treasury regulations to reduce their


                                       30
<PAGE>

taxable  income for purposes of computing the  percentage bad debt deduction for
losses attributable to activities of the non-savings  institution members of the
consolidated  group  that are  functionally  related  to the  activities  of the
savings institution member.

     We have not been audited by the IRS during the last five fiscal years.

     Indiana  Taxation.  The State of Indiana  imposes an 8.5%  franchise tax on
corporations  transacting  the business of a financial  institution  in Indiana,
exempting them from gross income,  supplemental net income and intangible taxes.
Included  in the  definition  of  corporation's  transacting  the  business of a
financial  institution in Indiana are holding companies of thrift  institutions,
as well as thrift  institutions.  Net income for  franchise  tax  purposes  will
constitute  federal  taxable  income before net operating  loss  deductions  and
special deductions,  adjusted for certain items,  including Indiana income taxes
and bad debts.  Other  applicable  Indiana taxes include sales, use and property
taxes.

Item 2. Description of Property

     We conduct our  business at our main  office and three other  locations  in
Lafayette  and West  Lafayette,  Indiana.  We own our main office and two branch
offices.  The second  branch  office is leased.  The total net book value of our
premises and equipment (including land, building and leasehold  improvements and
furniture,  fixtures and equipment) at December 31, 1998 was approximately  $5.8
million.  We  have  recently  purchased  property  for a  potential  new  branch
location.  We have also purchased an office building adjacent to the main office
location as our growth rate will require space for  additional  personnel in the
next few years.

     We  maintain  an  on-line  data base of  depositor  and  borrower  customer
information.  The net book value of our data processing,  computer equipment and
software at December 31, 1998 was $327,000.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

     We are,  from time to time,  involved as  plaintiff or defendant in various
legal  actions  arising in the normal  course of  business.  While the  ultimate
outcome of these  proceedings  cannot be  predicted  with  certainty,  it is the
opinion of management,  after  consultation with counsel  representing us in the
proceedings, that the resolution of any prior and pending proceedings should not
have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

     No  matter  was  submitted  to a vote  of  security  holders,  through  the

                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


General

     All references to LSB Financial,  unless otherwise indicated,  at or before
February 3, 1995, refer to Lafayette  Savings.  References in this Annual Report
to "we," and "us" and "our" refer to LSB Financial and/or  Lafayette  Savings as
the context requires.

Year 2000 Issues

     The approaching  millennium is causing organizations of all types to review
their computer  systems for the ability to properly  accommodate  the year 2000.
When computer  systems were first  developed,  two digits were used to designate
the year in date calculations and "19" was assumed for the century. As a result,
there is significant concern about the integrity of date sensitive  calculations
when the calendar rolls over to January 1, 2000. An older system could interpret
01/01/00  as January 1, 1900  potentially  causing  major  problems  calculating
interest,  payment,   delinquency  or  maturity  dates.  An  internal  committee
comprised of four  officers has been formed to address the  potential  risk that
the year 2000 poses for Lafayette  Savings.  This committee reports to the audit
committee of the board and the full board of  directors  quarterly or more often
as warranted.

     Financial  institution  regulators recently have increased their focus upon
year  2000   compliance   issues  and  have  issued   guidance   concerning  the
responsibilities  of senior  management  and  directors.  The Federal  Financial
Institutions  Examination Council has issued several  interagency  statements on
Year 2000 Project  Management  Awareness.  These  statements  require  financial
institutions to, among other things, examine the year 2000 issue with respect to
their  customers,  suppliers and borrowers.  These  statements also require each
federally insured financial institution to survey its exposure, measure its risk
and  prepare a plan to address  the year 2000 issue.  In  addition,  the federal
banking regulators have issued safety and soundness guidelines to be followed by
insured depository institutions to assure resolution of any year 2000 problems.

     Accurate  data  processing  is  essential to our  operations  and a lack of
accurate processing by our vendors or us could have a significant adverse impact
on our financial  condition and results of  operations.  We have been assured by
our outside data processing  service that their computer  services will function
properly on and after January 1, 2000. A  contingency  plan,  however,  has been
developed by Lafayette  Savings in the unlikely  event that our data  processing
service  does not  function  properly  on or after  January 1,  2000.  This plan
focuses on conducting  operations  in a manual mode,  including the recording of
transactions on spreadsheets.

     We have  also  received  year  2000  updates  from  most  of our  material,
non-information system providers, including but not limited to security cameras,
credit card and ATM card processors, the vault alarm, check printers,  telephone
systems,  participation  loan servicers,  and  institutions we invest through or
with.  Based on these updates,  we do not anticipate any  significant  year 2000
issues. We expect software  upgrades and new personal  computers to be installed
by March 1999. Our  anticipated  expenditure on this equipment is  approximately
$184,000.

     In addition to expenses  related to our own systems,  we could incur losses
if loan  payments  are delayed due to year 2000  problems  affecting  any of our
significant borrowers or impairing the payroll systems of large employers in our
market  area.  We have been  communicating  with our  vendors  to  assess  their
progress in evaluating their systems and  implementing  any corrective  measures
required by them to be prepared  for the year 2000.  We have also sent year 2000
readiness  request letters to certain  borrowers.  These borrowers were selected
based on the  aggregate  amounts  owed to Lafayette  Savings,  the type of loans
outstanding, and the perceived year 2000 risk based on our knowledge of the loan
customers and their  operations.  We have been advised by such parties that they
have plans in place to address and correct the issues  associated  with the year
2000  problem;  however,  no assurance  can be given as to the adequacy of these
plans or to the timeliness of their implementation.  Currently, due to the types
of borrowers  doing business with Lafayette  Savings and the nature of our loans
with  these  borrowers,  we do not  consider  the year 2000 issue as part of our
underwriting criteria.

Business Strategy

     We have been, and intend to continue to be, a community-oriented  financial
institution.  Our primary  business  consists of  attracting  deposits  from the
general  public and using these  deposits to provide  financing for the purchase
and construction of residential and other properties. Our results of operations,
therefore,  are  dependent  primarily  on  net  interest  income,  which  is the
difference  between  the  interest  income  earned  on our loan  and  investment
portfolios and our cost of funds, which consists of interest expense incurred on
deposits  and  borrowings.  Net  interest  income is  directly  affected  by the
relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and
the interest  rates earned or paid on these amounts.  Our operating  results are
also  affected by the level of the  provision  for loan losses,  by the level of
non-interest  income,  including  gains and  losses  on the sale of  loans,  and
non-interest expenses. Our non-interest expenses consist principally of employee
compensation, occupancy expenses, and other general and administrative expenses.

     Significant  external factors  impacting our results of operations  include
the general economic environment, changes in the level of market interest rates,
government policies, actions by regulatory authorities and competition. Our cost
of funds is influenced by interest  rates on competing  investments  and general
market rates of interest.  Lending  activities  are influenced by the demand for
real estate  loans and other types of loans,  which are in turn  affected by the
interest  rates at which  these  loans are  made,  general  economic  conditions
affecting loan demand and the availability of funds for lending activities.

     Our basic  mission is to maintain  our focus as an  independent,  community
oriented  financial  institution  serving  customers in our market area. We have
sought to accomplish this mission through the adoption of a strategy intended to
maintain  a  strong  capital  position  and  high  asset  quality,   manage  our
vulnerability to changes in interest rates, optimize our net interest margin and
achieve  controlled asset growth.  Key components of this strategy have been (i)
emphasizing one- to four-family residential mortgage lending, (ii) supplementing
residential  lending with multi-family,  consumer and construction  loans, (iii)
expanding  commercial  business lending functions,  (iv) emphasizing  adjustable
rate and/or short term loans and investments and (v) gradually building our core
deposit base.

     The results of our business strategy may be illustrated as follows:


                                        5

<PAGE>


     o    One- to four-family loans increased from $97.0 million at December 31,
          1996 to $113.2 million at December 31, 1998.

     o    Multi-family,  land and land  development,  construction  and consumer
          loans  increased  from $47.2  million at  December  31,  1996 to $58.4
          million at December 31, 1998.

     o    Commercial  real estate and commercial  business loans  increased from
          $23.9  million at December  31, 1996 to $34.0  million at December 31,
          1998.

     o    At December  31, 1998,  76.56% of our loan  portfolio  had  adjustable
          interest rates.

     o    Total  deposits  increased from $116.9 million at December 31, 1996 to
          $161.8 million at December 31, 1998.

Financial Condition

     The size of our loan  portfolio  increased  from $159.2 million at December
31, 1996 to $199.3 million at December 31, 1998, an increase of 25.20%.  Part of
this  increase was due to our  aggressively  seeking to attract new  residential
mortgage  borrowers.  This was accomplished by offering attractive loan products
at  competitive  rates,  establishing  good  working  relationships  with  local
realtors and  providing  efficient,  personal  service with all  decisions  made
locally.  Another reason for the success of our strategy was the continued focus
on commercial  and consumer loan  production.  We sold in the secondary  market,
with servicing rights retained, $14.3 million of fixed-rate loans in 1996, $19.8
million in 1997 and $27.8 million in 1998 based upon asset/liability  management
considerations.  In addition, during 1998 we originated and sold $6.3 million of
fixed-rate loans in the secondary market with servicing  released.  See "-Asset/
Liability Management; Market Risk Analysis." Adjustable rate loans were retained
in our loan portfolio.

     Our portfolio of securities and short-term investments increased from $12.0
million at from  December 31, 1996 to $20.9  million at December  31,  1998,  as
efforts were made to maintain our liquidity levels.

     Deposit  accounts  increased by 38.33% or $44.8  million from  December 31,
1996 to December 31, 1998. Checking accounts with no monthly fees and no minimum
balance requirements  attracted new depositors,  as did our continuing effort to
offer innovative and competitive certificate of deposit products.

     We utilize advances available through the Federal Home Loan Bank to provide
additional  funding  for loan growth as well as for  asset/liability  management
purposes.  At December  31, 1998 we had $51.5  million in Federal Home Loan Bank
advances  outstanding,  an increase of $1.5  million  from the $50.0  million at
December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1997.

     Shareholders' equity increased $460,000, or 2.59%, during 1998 primarily as
a result of net income of $1.7 million partially offset by stock repurchases and
the payment of dividends on common stock. We repurchased 43,591 shares of common
stock in 1998 as part of a repurchase of


                                        6

<PAGE>


5.00% of common stock which was completed on January 6, 1999. As of December 31,
1998, a total of 230,374  shares of our common stock had been  repurchased  at a
cost of approximately $4.7 million, or $20.23 per share. Shareholders' equity to
total  assets was 7.81% at December  31, 1998  compared to 8.58% at December 31,
1997.

Results of Operations

     Our results of  operations  depend  primarily on the levels of net interest
and non-interest income and control of operating  expenses.  Net interest income
is dependent  upon the volume of  interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing
liabilities  and upon the interest  rate which is earned or paid on these items.
Our results of  operations  are also  affected by the level of the provision for
loan losses as well as non-interest income.

Rate/Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income

     The  following  table  presents  the dollar  amount of changes in  interest
income and interest expense for the major categories of interest-earning  assets
and interest-bearing  liabilities.  For each category of interest-earning assets
and   interest-bearing   liabilities,   information   is   provided  on  changes
attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old
rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume).
For purposes of this table,  changes attributable to both rate and volume, which
cannot be segregated,  have been allocated  proportionately to the change due to
volume and change due to rate.

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

     General.  Net income for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $1.7 million,
an  increase  of  $174,000  or 11.11%  compared to net income for the year ended
December 31, 1997. This increase was primarily due to a $668,000 increase in net
interest income, a $106,000  increase in deposit account service charges,  and a
$182,000 increase in the net gain on sale on mortgage loans, partially offset by
a $710,000  increase in all  non-interest  expenses  and a $152,000  increase in
income tax expenses.

     Net Interest  Income.  Net interest  income for the year ended December 31,
1998  increased  $668,000 or 10.21% over the same period in 1997.  This increase
was primarily  volume driven as we succeeded in growing our balance  sheet.  Our
net  interest   margin,   which  is  net  interest  income  divided  by  average
interest-earning  assets,  decreased  slightly  from  3.56%  for the year  ended
December 31,  1997,  to 3.43% for the year ended  December  31,  1998.  This was
primarily  due to  shrinking  interest  rate  margins  partially  driven  by the
continuing  level of loan  refinancings  as  borrowers  took  advantage of lower
interest rates in the economy to decrease the rates on their existing loans.

     Interest  income on loans  increased  $1.6  million for the year ended 1998
compared  to the year  ended  December  31,  1997,  primarily  the  result of an
increase  of $20.2  million in average  loans  outstanding.  This  increase  was
primarily  due to an  active  residential  real  estate  market  in 1998  due to
continued low interest rates and a strong local economy, and the ongoing success
of our focus on commercial and consumer loan production. This increase in volume
was  partially  offset by a  decrease  in yield on loans from 8.49% for the year
ended  December  31, 1997 to 8.41% for the year ended  December  31, 1998 caused
primarily by the decrease in interest rates generally.

     Interest  earned on  mortgage-backed  securities  decreased  by $58,000 due
primarily to an $873,000 decrease in the average balance of our  mortgage-backed
securities.

     Interest  earned on other  investments  and  Federal  Home Loan Bank  stock
increased by $275,000 for the year 1998 compared to 1997. This was the result of
an  increase  of $7.1  million  in the  average  balance  of other  investments,
primarily due to our efforts to rebuild  liquidity with an eye toward addressing
our relatively high tax burden,  partially  offset by a decrease in the yield on
other  investments from 5.35% in 1997 to 4.58% in 1998. The increase in interest
earned was further  augmented by interest  earned on a $139,000  increase in the
average  balance  of  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  stock  required  to  facilitate
borrowings  from the Federal Home Loan Bank for the year ended December 31, 1998
over the year ended December 31, 1997.

     Interest  expense for the year ended 1998  increased $1.1 million or 12.85%
over the same period in 1997.  This increase was primarily due to an increase of
$24.8  million  in  average  interest-bearing  liabilities,   consisting  of  an
additional $20.3 million in the average balance of customer deposit accounts and
a $4.5  million  increase  in the  average  balance  of  Federal  Home Loan Bank
advances  drawn to fund loan  demand.  The increase  was  partially  offset by a
decrease in the rate paid on interest bearing  liabilities from 4.92% in 1997 to
4.87% in 1998 reflecting the general decrease in interest rates over the period.

     Provision for Loan Losses. We establish the provision for loan losses based
on a  systematic  analysis of risk factors in the loan  portfolio.  The analysis
includes  evaluation of concentration of credit,  past loss experience,  current
economic conditions, the amount and composition of the loan portfolio, estimated
fair  value  of  the  underlying  collateral,   loan  commitments   outstanding,
delinquencies  and  industry  standards.  From  time to  time,  we also  use the
services of a consultant to assist in the  evaluation of our growing  commercial
loan portfolio. Our analysis results in the allocations of allowance amounts for
each loan type.  During 1996 we recorded an $800,000  provision  for loan losses
primarily  in response  to the  situation  involving  Bennett  Funding  Group of
Syracuse,  New York through which we owned $2.4 million of equipment  leases.  A
settlement  involving the  restructuring  of these loans was reached  during the
second quarter of 1997 and resulted in a write down of $319,000.  We continue to
allocate  $651,000 of the $1.6 million allowance to the remaining leases and the
restructured  loan to provide for  potential  losses.  We believe  this  reserve
allocation  will be  sufficient  to cover any  losses.  We  recorded  a $104,000
provision for loan losses during 1998 as a result of our analysis of our current
loan portfolios. In addition to the $2.1 million of Bennett Funding Group leases
there were $659,000 of non-performing loans at December 31, 1998,  consisting of
$494,000 in single-family residences,  $23,000 in consumer loans and $142,000 in
commercial  business loans. At December 31, 1998, our allowance equaled 0.79% of
net loans receivable.  Non-performing loans totaled $2.7 million at December 31,
1998.

     Non-Interest  Income.  Non-interest  income for the year ended December 31,
1998  increased  by $400,000,  or 43.29% over the same period in 1997.  This was
primarily  due to a $106,000  increase  in service  charges  and fees on deposit
accounts due to the increasing number of these accounts, and a $182,000 increase
in the gain on the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market resulting from
the increased  sales  activity.  Beginning in 1996, the basis of loans sold with
servicing  retained was allocated between the loan and the originated  servicing
right.  $250,000 of $425,000 of gains on the sale of loans in 1998 and  $182,000
of the  $243,000  of  gains  in  1997  can be  attributed  to  establishing  the
originated  servicing  right asset which is amortized over the expected lives of
the related loans.

     Non-Interest Expense.  Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31,
1998  increased  $710,000,  or 14.83%,  over the same period in 1997.  The major
components  of this  increase  included  a $367,000  increase  in  salaries  and
employee  benefits,  a $96,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense and a
$55,000  increase  in  advertising.   These  increases   generally  reflect  the
additional  expenses  incurred in connection with our continuing growth in asset
size.  In  addition,  salary and employee  benefit  expenses  included  expenses
related to the Employee Stock  Ownership  Plan,  which was formed at the time of
our stock conversion, and expenses related to the Recognition and Retention Plan
which was approved by shareholders in August 1995. These two plans resulted in a
combined expense of $274,000 in 1997 and $341,000 in 1998.

     Income Tax Expense.  Our income tax provision increased by $152,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1998 compared to the year ended December 31, 1997.  This
was  primarily  due to the  increase  in  income  before  income  taxes,  as the
effective tax rate remained at approximately 40% in both years.

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

     General.  Net income for the year ended December 31, 1997 was $1.6 million,
an increase of $690,000 or 78.78% over the year ended  December 31,  1996.  This
increase was primarily due to an $800,000  provision for loan losses,  which was
recorded by management in 1996 to cover the  possibility  of losses on purchased
equipment leases we placed on non-accrual status.  Other factors contributing to
the increase were an $824,000  increase in net interest  income,  and a $119,000
increase in deposit  account  service  charges,  partially  offset by a $601,000
increase  in all  non-interest  expenses  and a $490,000  increase in income tax
expenses.

     Net Interest  Income.  Net interest  income for the year ended December 31,
1997  increased  $824,000 or 14.41% over the same period in 1996.  This increase
was primarily attributable to the success of management's  continuing efforts to
grow and  restructure  the balance  sheet by  investing  new funds and  shifting
existing funds into  higher-yielding  multi-family  and commercial  real estate,
land  development  and  consumer  loans  from  lower  yielding  investments  and
mortgage-backed  securities.  Our net interest  margin  increased  slightly from
3.52% for the year ended December 31, 1996, to 3.56% for the year ended December
31, 1997.

     Interest  income on loans  increased  $1.9  million for the year ended 1997
compared  to 1996,  primarily  the  result of an  increase  of $20.0  million in
average  loans  outstanding.  This  increase  was  primarily  due  to an  active
residential real estate market in 1997 due to continued low interest rates and a
strong local economy,  and the ongoing success of our focus on multi-family  and
commercial  real estate,  land  development and consumer loan  production.  This
increase in volume was also enhanced by an increase in yield on loans from 8.34%
for the year ended  December  31, 1996 to 8.49% for the year ended  December 31,
1997,  caused  primarily by the  increasing  percentage of loans in these higher
yielding categories.

     Interest  earned on other  investments  and  Federal  Home Loan Bank  stock
increased by $107,000 for the year 1997 compared to 1996. This was the result of
an  increase  of $1.3  million  in the  average  balance  of other  investments,
primarily  due to our  efforts to rebuild  the  liquidity  portfolio,  partially
offset by a  decrease  in the yield on other  investments  from 5.57% in 1996 to
5.35% in 1997. The increase in interest earned was further augmented by interest
earned on a $546,000  increase in the average  balance of Federal Home Loan Bank
stock required to facilitate borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, as well
as by an  increase  in the yield on this  stock  from  7.67% for the year  ended
December 31, 1996 to 7.99% for the year ended December 31, 1997.

     Interest  expense for the year ended 1997  increased $1.2 million or 15.64%
over the same period in 1996.  This increase was primarily due to an increase of
$23.1  million  in  average  interest-bearing  liabilities,   consisting  of  an
additional $16.0 million in the average balance of customer deposit accounts and
a $7.1  million  increase  in the  average  balance  of  Federal  Home Loan Bank
advances drawn to fund loan demand.

     Provision for Loan Losses. As discussed  earlier,  during the quarter ended
June 30, 1996 we recorded an $800,000  provision  for loan losses  primarily  in
response  to a  specific  situation  involving  the  Bennett  Funding  Group  of
Syracuse,  New York through  which we owned $2.4  million of  equipment  leases.
During 1997, we recorded a $72,000 provision for loan losses as a result of our


                                       12

analysis  of our current  loan  portfolios.  In addition to the $2.1  million of
Bennett   Funding  Group  leases  there  were  $23,000  of   non-performing   or
restructured  loans at December 31, 1997.  At December 31, 1997,  our  allowance
equaled 0.83% of net loans receivable.

     Non-Interest  Income.  Non-interest  income for the year ended December 31,
1997  increased  by $229,000,  or 32.95% over the same period in 1996.  This was
primarily  due to a $119,000  increase  in service  charges  and fees on deposit
accounts due to the increasing number of these accounts,  and a $59,000 increase
in the gain on the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market resulting from
the increased  sales  activity.  Beginning in 1996, the basis of loans sold with
servicing  retained was allocated between the loan and the originated  servicing
right.  $182,000  of the  $243,000  of  gains  on the  sale of loans in 1997 and
$129,000 of the $184,000 of gains in 1996 can be attributed to establishing  the
originated  servicing  right asset which is amortized over the expected lives of
the related loans.

     Non-Interest Expense.  Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31,
1997  increased  $601,000  or 14.36%  over the same  period  in 1996.  The major
components  of this  increase  included  a $357,000  increase  in  salaries  and
employee  benefits,  a $93,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense and a
$68,000  increase  in  advertising.   These  increases   generally  reflect  the
additional expenses incurred in operating our fourth branch. In addition, salary
and employee  benefits expense  includes  expenses related to the Employee Stock
Ownership  Plan , which  was  formed at the time of our  stock  conversion,  and
expenses  related to the  Recognition  and Retention  Plan which was approved by
shareholders  in August 1995.  Employee  Stock  Ownership Plan expenses rise and
fall  based on the  change in our stock  price.  These two plans  resulted  in a
combined expense of $274,000 in 1997 and $233,000 in 1996.

     Income Tax Expense.  Our income tax provision increased by $490,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1997 compared to the year ended December 31, 1996.  This
was primarily due to the increase in income before income taxes.

Asset/Liability Management; Market Risk Analysis

     Lafayette  Savings,  like  other  financial  institutions,  is  subject  to
interest rate risk to the extent that our  interest-bearing  liabilities reprice
on a  different  basis  than  our  interest-earning  assets.  Office  of  Thrift
Supervision   regulations   provide  a  net  portfolio  value  approach  to  the
quantification of interest rate risk. In essence,  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.

     It has been and continues to be a priority to manage interest rate risk and
thereby limit any negative  effect of interest rate changes on our net portfolio
value. Our asset/liability policy,  established by the board of directors,  sets
forth  acceptable  limits on the amount of change in net  portfolio  value given
certain  changes  in  interest  rates.  We  have an  asset/liability  management
committee  which meets weekly to review  interest  rate  positions,  and a board
investment  committee  which meets  quarterly to review our  interest  rate risk
position and other  related  matters and to make  recommendations  for adjusting
this  position  to the full board of  directors.  In  addition,  the  investment
committee  meets  semi-annually  with  our  investment  advisor  to  review  our
investment  portfolio and  strategies  relating to interest rate risk.  Specific
strategies have included the sale of


                                       13

<PAGE>


long-term,   fixed   rate  loans  to  reduce  the   average   maturity   of  our
interest-earning  assets  and the use of  Federal  Home  Loan Bank  advances  to
lengthen the  effective  maturity of our  interest-bearing  liabilities.  In the
future, our community banking emphasis,  including the origination of commercial
business  loans,  is intended to further  increase our  portfolio of  short-term
and/or adjustable rate loans.

     Presented  below,  as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,  is an analysis of our
interest  rate  risk  as  measured  by  changes  in  net  portfolio   value  for
instantaneous  and sustained  parallel  shifts in the yield curve,  in 100 basis
point  increments,  up and down 300 basis  points and  compared to board  policy
limits.  Assumptions used in calculating the amounts in this table are Office of
Thrift Supervision assumptions.

     In  evaluating  our exposure to interest  rate risk,  certain  shortcomings
inherent in the method of analysis  presented  in this table must be noted.  For
example,  although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or
periods to repricing,  they may react in different  degrees to changes in market
interest  rates.  Also,  the  interest  rates on  certain  types of  assets  and
liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates,  while
interest rates on other types may lag behind  changes in market rates.  Further,
in the event of a change in interest  rates,  prepayments  and early  withdrawal
levels would likely deviate  significantly from those assumed in calculating the
table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease
in the event of an interest  rate  increase.  As a result,  the actual effect of
changing interest rates may differ from that presented in the foregoing table.

     We also make use of "gap" analysis  which  measures the difference  between
the amount of interest-earning assets which are anticipated to mature or reprice
within a particular period and the amount of interest bearing  liabilities which
are  expected to reprice in that same  period.  We rely on certain  assumptions,
such as the amount  and timing of loan  prepayments  in the  measurement  of the
interest rate sensitivity gap.  Similar  shortcomings to those  experienced with
net portfolio value analysis are also inherent in the gap method of analysis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Our primary  sources of funds are  deposits,  repayment  and  prepayment of
loans,  interest earned on or maturation of investment securities and short-term
investments, borrowings and funds provided from operations. While maturities and
the scheduled amortization of loans, investments and mortgage-backed  securities
are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage


                                       14

<PAGE>


prepayments  are  greatly  influenced  by the  general  market  interest  rates,
economic conditions and competition.

     Our  primary  investing  activities  are the  origination  of loans and the
purchase of securities. During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998,
we originated  loans  totaling  $77.7  million,  $78.2 million and $93.0 million
respectively.

     During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998,  these  investment
activities  were funded  primarily by principal  repayments  and  prepayments on
loans and maturities of investment  securities  totaling  $43.8  million,  $50.0
million,  and $59.0 million,  respectively.  The proceeds from the sale of loans
totaled  $14.3  million,  $20.2  million and $34.1 million for these same years.
Sales of  available-for-sale  securities in 1996 and 1998 generated  proceeds of
$1.8 million and $1.0 million respectively. There were no sales in 1997.

     The major  sources of cash from  financing  activities  in the years  ended
December 31,  1996,  1997 and 1998 were  increases in deposits of $7.0  million,
$20.7 million and $24.1 million,  respectively.  In the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1998,  financing  also was provided by net  borrowings of $21.8 million
and $1.5  million,  respectively.  We had  available  lines of  credit  from the
Federal  Home Loan  Bank,  at  December  31,  1996,  1997 and 1998 equal to $1.5
million. We currently use, and intend to continue to use, Federal Home Loan Bank
advances as a source of funding for loans when  advantageous  interest rate risk
matches can be found.

     Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function.  We adjust our
investment  strategy,  within the limits  established by the investment  policy,
based upon  assessments  of expected loan demand,  expected cash flows,  Federal
Home Loan Bank  advance  opportunities,  market  yields  and  objectives  of our
asset/liability management program. Base levels of liquidity have generally been
invested in  interest-earning  overnight and time deposits with the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Indianapolis.  Funds for which a demand is not foreseen in the near
future are invested in investment and other  securities for the purpose of yield
enhancement and asset/liability management.

     We are  required  to maintain  minimum  levels of  liquidity  as defined by
regulatory agencies. The liquidity requirement,  which can vary, is based upon a
percentage  of deposits and short term  borrowings  and is currently  4.0%.  Our
internal policy for liquidity is approximately 6% to 8%. Our liquidity ratios at
December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 were 7.31%, 7.76% and 11.77%, respectively.

     We anticipate that we will have sufficient  funds available to meet current
loan  commitments.  At December  31, 1998,  we had  outstanding  commitments  to
originate  loans  and  available  lines of credit  totaling  $27.7  million  and
commitments to provide funds to complete  current  construction  projects in the
amount of $4.4 million. Certificates of deposit which will mature in one year or
less at December  31,  1998  totaled  $77.1  million.  Based on our  experience,
certificates of deposit have been a relatively  stable source of long-term funds
as  these  certificates  are  generally  renewed  upon  maturity  since  we have
established  long-term banking relationships with our customers.  Therefore,  we
believe a significant  portion of these  deposits will remain with us,  although
this cannot be assured.

     At December 31, 1998,  we exceeded all of the Office of Thrift  Supervision
capital requirements on a fully phased in basis.

     LSB Financial  also has a need for, and sources of liquidity  separate from
the bank.  Liquidity  is required  to fund our  operating  expenses,  fund stock
repurchase programs, as well as for the payment of dividends to shareholders. At
December  31,  1998 LSB  Financial  had  $99,000 in liquid  assets on hand.  The
primary  source of liquidity on an ongoing  basis is  dividends  from  Lafayette
Savings. Dividends totaling $1.8 million were paid from Lafayette Savings to LSB
Financial  during the year ended  December 31, 1998. For the year ended December
31, 1998,  LSB Financial paid dividends to  shareholders  totaling  $355,000 and
repurchased 43,591 shares of common stock at a total cost of $1.4 million.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

     The  Consolidated  Financial  Statements and Notes which are presented here
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles,
which  require  the  measurement  of  financial  position  and  the  results  of
operations 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 our  operations.  Unlike most
industrial  companies,  virtually all our assets and liabilities are monetary in
nature.  As a result,  interest rates have a greater  impact on our  performance
than do the effects of the general  levels of inflation.  Interest  rates do not
necessarily  move in the same  direction  or to the same  degree as the price of
goods and services.

Impact of Accounting Standards

     The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issues  Financial  Accounting
Standards that affect us.

     Financial   Accounting   Standard  No.  133,   "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities"

     Effective January 1, 2000,  Financial  Accounting Standard 133 will require
all  derivatives  to be  recorded at fair value.  Unless  designated  as hedges,
changes in these fair  values will be  recorded  in the income  statement.  Fair
value changes  involving  hedges will generally be recorded by offsetting  gains
and  losses on the hedge and on the hedged  item,  even if the fair value of the
hedged item is not otherwise recorded. Upon adoption of this Standard,  entities
may redesignate securities as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity.  We
do not expect adoption of this standard to have a material effect but the effect
will depend upon our use of derivatives upon adoption.

Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements

     LSB Financial  and Lafayette  Savings may from time to time make written or
oral  forward-looking   statements.   These  forward-looking  statement  may  be
contained  in this  Annual  Report  to  Shareholders,  in our  filings  with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission,  including our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
and its  exhibits,  and in other  communications  by us,  which are made in good
faith  pursuant  to  the  safe  harbor  provisions  of  the  Private  Securities
Litigation  Reform Act of 1995.  The words "may",  "could",  "should",  "would",
"believe",  "anticipate",  "estimate",  "expect",  "intend",  "plan" and similar

many of which are subject to change based on various  other  factors  beyond our
control,  could cause our financial  performance to differ  materially  from the
plans,  objectives,  expectations,  estimates and  intentions  expressed in such
forward-looking statements:

     o    the strength of the United States  economy in general and the strength
          of the local economies in which we conduct our operations;
     o    the effects of, and changes in,  trade,  monetary and fiscal  policies
          and laws,  including  interest  rate  policies of the Federal  Reserve
          Board;
     o    inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;
     o    the timely  development of and acceptance of new products and services
          of Lafayette Savings and the perceived overall value of these products
          and services by users,  including  the  features,  pricing and quality
          compared to competitors' products and services;
     o    the  willingness  of users to  substitute  competitors'  products  and
          services for our products and services;
     o    the success of Lafayette Savings in gaining regulatory approval of its
          products and services, when required;
     o    the impact of  changes in  financial  services'  laws and  regulations
          (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance);
     o    the impact of technological changes;
     o    acquisitions;
     o    changes in consumer  spending and saving habits;  and o our success at
          managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

     This  list  of  important  factors  is not  exclusive.  We  incorporate  by
reference those risk factors included in LSB Financial's  Registration Statement
on Form  S-1  (Reg.  No.  33-84266)  filed  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  under the  Securities Act of 1933. We do not undertake to update any
forward-looking  statement,  whether written or oral, that may be made from time
to time by or on behalf of LSB Financial or Lafayette Savings.

                        December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998
                             (Dollars in thousands)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial
statements  include the accounts of LSB Financial Corp. (LSB or the Company) and
its wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Lafayette Savings Bank, FSB (Bank) and the Bank's
wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  LSB  Service  Corporation  (LSBSC),  and  Lafayette
Insurance & Investments,  Inc.  (LI&I).  Intercompany  transactions and balances
have been  eliminated.  LSB generates  mortgage and consumer  loans and receives
deposits from customers  located  primarily in Tippecanoe  county in Indiana.  A
substantial  portion of the loan portfolio is secured by single and multi-family
residential mortgages.

Use of Estimates:  To prepare financial  statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting  principles management makes estimates and assumptions based
on available  information.  These estimates and  assumptions  affect the amounts
reported in the financial  statements and the disclosures  provided,  and future
results could differ. The allowance for loan losses and fair values of financial
instruments are particularly subject to change.

Cash Flow Reporting: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due
from banks and short-term  investments.  LSB reports net cash flows for customer
loan  and  deposit  transactions,   and  interest-bearing  balances  with  other
financial institutions.

Securities:  Securities are classified as available-for-sale  because they might
be sold before maturity and are carried at fair value,  with unrealized  holding
gains and losses included in other comprehensive income.  Securities are written
down to  fair  value  when a  decline  in fair  value  is not  temporary.  Other
securities  such as Federal  Home Loan Bank stock are  carried at cost.  Premium
amortization  is  deducted  from and  discount  accretion  is added to  interest
income.  Gains  and  losses  on the sale of  available-for-sale  securities  are
determined using the specific identification method.

Loans: Loans are reported at the principal balance outstanding,  net of unearned
interest,  deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Loans
held for sale are  reported  at the  lower of cost or  market,  on an  aggregate
basis.

Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes  amortization of
net  deferred  loan fees and costs  over the loan term.  Interest  income is not
reported  when  full loan  repayment  is in  doubt,  typically  when the loan is
impaired  or  payments  are  past  due over 90 days  (180  days for  residential
mortgages).   Payments   received  on  such  loans  are  reported  as  principal
reductions.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Allowance  for Loan  Losses:  The  allowance  for  loan  losses  is a  valuation
allowance,  increased  by  the  provision  for  loan  losses  and  decreased  by
charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required
based on past loan loss  experience,  known and inherent risks in the portfolio,
information about specific borrower situations and estimated  collateral values,
economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made
for specific loans,  but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in
management's judgment, should be charged-off.

Loan  impairment  is  reported  when full  payment  under the loan  terms is not
expected.  Impairment is evaluated  collectively  for  smaller-balance  loans of
similar nature such as residential  mortgage,  consumer,  and credit card loans,
and on an  individual  loan  basis for other  loans.  If a loan is  impaired,  a
portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported,  net, at the
present  value of estimated  future cash flows using the loan's  existing  rate.
Loans are evaluated for impairment when payments are delayed,  typically 90 days
or  more,   or  when  the   internal   grading   system   indicates  a  doubtful
classification.

The carrying values of impaired loans are periodically  adjusted to reflect cash
payments,  revised  estimates of future cash flows, and increases in the present
value  of  expected  cash  flows  due to the  passage  of  time.  Cash  payments
representing  interest  income are  reported as such.  Other cash  payments  are
reported as reductions in carrying  value,  while  increases or decreases due to
changes  in  estimates  of future  payments  and due to the  passage of time are
reported as provision for loan losses expense.

Servicing  Rights:  Servicing  rights  represent both  purchased  rights and the
allocated value of servicing rights retained on loans sold. Servicing rights are
expensed  in  proportion  to, and over the period of,  estimated  net  servicing
revenues.  Impairment is evaluated based on the fair value of the rights,  using
groupings of the underlying loans as to interest rates and then, secondarily, as
to geographic and prepayment characteristics.  A valuation allowance is recorded
to reflect the impairment of a grouping.

Foreclosed  Assets:  Assets acquired  through or instead of loan foreclosure are
initially  recorded at fair value when acquired,  establishing a new cost basis.
If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs
after acquisition are expensed.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Office  Properties and Equipment:  Office properties and equipment are stated at
cost less  accumulated  depreciation.  Depreciation is computed by straight-line
and accelerated methods over estimated useful lives.

Long-Term Assets:  These assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate
their  carrying  amount may not be  recoverable  from future  undiscounted  cash
flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at discounted amounts.

Stock Compensation: Compensation expense under stock option plans is reported if
options are granted below market price at grant date.  Pro forma  disclosures of
net  income and  earnings  per share are shown  using the fair  value  method to
measure expense, using an option pricing model to estimate fair value.

Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan: The cost of shares issued to the ESOP, but not
yet allocated to participants,  is shown as a reduction of shareholders' equity.
Compensation  expense  is  based  on the  market  price  of  shares  as they are
committed to be released to  participant  accounts.  Dividends on allocated ESOP
shares reduce retained  earnings;  dividends on unearned ESOP shares reduce debt
and accrued interest.

Income  Taxes:  Income tax expense is the sum of the current year income tax due
or refundable  and the change in deferred tax assets and  liabilities.  Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences   between  the  carrying   amounts  and  tax  bases  of  assets  and
liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed,
reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include credit instruments, such as
commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit, issued to meet customer
financing  needs.  The face amount for these items  represents  the  exposure to
loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay.

Fair Values of Financial  Instruments:  Fair values of financial instruments are
estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully
disclosed separately.  Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of
significant  judgment regarding interest rates,  credit risk,  prepayments,  and
other factors,  especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items.
Changes in assumptions or in market  conditions could  significantly  affect the
estimates.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Earnings  Per Share:  Earnings  per share is net income  divided by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding  during the period.  ESOP shares are
considered  outstanding for this calculation  unless unearned.  Diluted earnings
per share  include the dilutive  effect of  additional  potential  common shares
issuable under stock options.  Earnings and dividends per share are restated for
all  stock  splits  and  dividends  through  the date of issue of the  financial
statements.

Comprehensive  Income:  Comprehensive  income  consists  of net income and other
comprehensive  income.  Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and
losses on securities  available  for sale which are also  recognized as separate
components  of  equity.   The  accounting   standard  that  requires   reporting
comprehensive  income first applied for 1998, with prior information restated to
be comparable.

Loss  Contingencies:  Loss  contingencies,  including  claims and legal  actions
arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the
likelihood  of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably
estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have
material effect on the financial statements.

Dividend  Restriction:  Banking  regulations  require the maintenance of certain
capital  levels and may limit the  amount of  dividends  which may be paid.  For
regulatory capital requirements, see a separate note.

Industry  Segment:  Internal  financial  information  is reported and aggregated
solely in the banking line of business.

New  Accounting  Pronouncement:  Beginning  January  1, 2000,  a new  accounting
standard  will  require all  derivatives  to be  recorded at fair value.  Unless
designated  as hedges,  changes in these fair  values  will be  recorded  in the
income statement. Fair value changes involving hedges will generally be recorded
by offsetting  gains and losses on the hedge and on the hedged item, even if the
fair value of the hedged item is not otherwise recorded. This is not expected to
have a material  effect but the effect will depend on  derivative  holdings when
this standard applies.

NOTE 6 - ADVANCES FROM FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK

Advances  from the  Federal  Home  Loan Bank  (FHLB)  require  monthly  interest
payments and are secured by a blanket pledge of the Bank's  eligible  securities
and mortgage  loans.  At December 31, 1998,  the year of final  maturity and the
current weighted average interest rate of FHLB advances were as follows:

                         Weighted

                                           ============

The  advances due in 2002 and $4,000 of the advances due in 2000 may, at certain
dates, be converted to adjustable  rate advances by the FHLB. If converted,  the
advances  may be prepaid  without  penalty.  Except for a $2,000  advance with a
final maturity of 2008,  advances are due in full at maturity.  That advance has
required  principal  payments  during  the next five years of $68  (1999),  $159
(2000), $232 (2001), $203 (2002) and $177 (2003).

NOTE 7 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital  requirements  administered by
its primary regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) and by the Federal
Deposit  Insurance   Corporation   (FDIC).   Failure  to  meet  minimum  capital
requirements   can  result  in  certain   mandatory   and  possibly   additional
discretionary  actions by regulators  that, if  undertaken,  could have a direct
material effect on the financial statements. These guidelines and the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action involve quantitative measures of capital,
assets,  liabilities,  and certain  off-balance-sheet  items as calculated under
regulatory  accounting  practices  as  well  as  qualitative  judgments  by  the
regulators  about  components,  risk weightings,  and other factors.  The Bank's
deposit insurance premium rate is also based, in part, on these requirements. At
December  31, 1997 and 1998,  the Bank's  actual and  required  minimum  capital
ratios were as follows:

Risk-based  capital  differs from tangible and core capital due to the inclusion
of the Bank's  general  valuation  allowance  which totaled $1,046 and $1,041 at
December 31, 1997 and 1998.

At December 31, 1997 and 1998,  the Bank's  capital  ratios  result in its being
designated a well capitalized institution.

NOTE 7 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS (Continued)

The  Qualified  Thrift Lender test requires at least 65% of assets be maintained
in housing-related financial and other specified areas. If this test is not met,
limits are placed on growth,  branching,  new  investments,  FHLB  advances  and
dividends,  or the Bank must convert to a commercial  bank  charter.  Management
believes that this test is met.

OTS regulations limit capital distributions by savings  institutions.  The least
restriction is placed on "tier 1" institutions,  defined as well-capitalized and
with favorable qualitative OTS examination ratings, which can make distributions
in a year up to  one-half  the capital in excess of the most  stringent  capital
requirement  at the  beginning  of the year  plus  net  income  to  date.  Other
institutions have more stringent requirements,  the most restrictive being prior
OTS approval of any capital distribution. The Bank is a tier 1 institution.

LSB converted from a mutual to a stock institution,  and a "liquidation account"
was  established  at  $8,066,  which was net worth  reported  in the  conversion
prospectus.  Eligible depositors who have maintained their accounts, less annual
reductions  to the extent they have  reduced  their  deposits,  would  receive a
distribution from this account if the Bank liquidated.  Dividends may not reduce
shareholders' equity below the required liquidation account balance.


NOTE 8 - BENEFIT PLANS

The LSB Stock Option Plan reserved  102,957  shares of Common Stock for granting
options to directors and officers of the Companies. Under the terms of the Plan,
options  can be  granted at values  not less than the fair  market  value of the
shares at the date of the grant.  Options vest at each  anniversary  date over a
five year period and must be exercised within ten years of grant.

The following pro forma  information  presents net income and earnings per share
had the fair  value  method  been used to  measure  compensation  cost for stock
option plans.

NOTE 8 - BENEFIT PLANS (Continued)

The LSB  Recognition and Retention Plan (RRP) has awarded 29,079 shares of stock
to certain  officers and directors of the Company.  Stock awarded under the Plan
is restricted as to certain rights at the time of issuance.  These  restrictions
are removed over a 5 year period. The cost of these shares is amortized over the
vesting period. Expense recorded for the RRP totaled $90 for each year reported.

The Bank maintains an ESOP which  purchased 8%, or 82,366  shares,  of the stock
offered in the  conversion  using funds  provided by an $824 loan from LSB which
will be repaid by contributions to the ESOP by the Bank in the future.  Pursuant
to the ESOP, the shares are to be allocated to participants annually,  over a 12
year period, based upon employee compensation levels during the year. The number
of shares earned each year is determined by the ESOP loan  agreement.  Shares no
longer  required  to be held as  collateral  for that loan are  committed  to be
released and are earned by participants.

The following table presents  information  about the ESOP at year-end or for the
year:

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

In the  ordinary  course  of  business,  the Bank  has  loans,  commitments  and
contingent  liabilities,  such as guarantees  and  commitments to extend credit,
which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
condition.  The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the other party to the financial  guarantees is represented  by the  contractual
amounts of those instruments.  The Bank uses the same credit policy to make such
commitments as it uses for on-balance-sheet items.

At year-end these financial instruments are summarized as follows:

                                                       1997             1998
                                                       ----             ----
     Commitments to extend credit:
         Fixed rate                                $   2,282       $   4,368
         Variable rate                                 1,169           2,782
     Unused portions of lines of credit               15,949          20,521
     Standby letters of credit                           108             169

The commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there  is  no  violation  of  any  condition  established  under  the  contract.
Generally,  such commitments are for no more than 60 days. At December 31, 1998,
the fixed  rate loan  commitments  were at rates  ranging  from 6.25% to 10.00%.
Unused  portions of lines of credit  include  balances  available on commercial,
home equity and credit card loans and are variable rate.

Since many  commitments  to make loans expire without being used, the amounts do
not necessarily  represent  future cash  commitments.  Collateral  obtained upon
exercise of the commitment is determined using management's credit evaluation of
the borrower.

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES (Continued)

Federal income tax laws provided  additional bad debt  deductions  through 1987,
totaling $1,861. Accounting standards do not require a deferred tax liability to
be  recorded  on this  amount,  which  liability  otherwise  would total $744 at
December 31, 1998. If the Bank were liquidated or otherwise  ceases to be a bank
or if tax laws were to change, this amount would be expensed. Under 1996 tax law
changes, bad debts are based on actual loss experience and tax bad debt reserves
accumulated since 1987 are to be reduced. This requires payment of approximately
$37 annually for six years beginning in 1998.

The estimated fair value approximates carrying amount for all items except those
described  below.  Estimated fair value for securities is based on quoted market
values for the  individual  securities or for equivalent  securities.  Estimated
fair  value for loans is based on the  rates  charged  at year end for new loans
with  similar  maturities,  applied  until the loan is  assumed to reprice or be
paid.  Estimated  fair value for time deposits and FHLB advances is based on the
rates paid at year end for new deposits or borrowings,  applied until  maturity.
Estimated  fair value for  off-balance-sheet  loan  commitments  are  considered
nominal.
