	PART I


Item 1.  Description of Business

General	

Home Building Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), an Indiana 
corporation, was formed in September 1994 to act as the holding company 
for Home Building Savings Bank, FSB (the "Bank") upon the completion 
of the Bank's conversion from the mutual to the stock form (the 
"Conversion").  The Company received approval from the Office of Thrift 
Supervision (the "OTS") to acquire all of the common stock of the Bank 
to be outstanding upon completion of the Conversion.  The Conversion 
was completed on February 7, 1995.  All references to the Company, 
unless otherwise indicated, at or before February 7, 1995 refer to the Bank. 
The Company's Common Stock trades on The Nasdaq Stock Market 
under the symbol "HBBI."

At September 30, 1997, the Company had $41.7 million of assets and 
stockholders' equity of $5.9 million (or 14.1% of total assets).

The Bank is a federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered 
in Washington, Indiana.  The Bank is a member of the Savings Association 
Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"), which is administered by the Federal Deposit 
Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC").  Its deposits are insured up to 
applicable limits by the FDIC,  which insurance is backed by the full faith 
and credit of the United States Government.

<PAGE>
The principal business of the Company consists of attracting retail 
deposits from the general public and investing those funds, together with 
borrowings and other funds, to originate primarily loans secured by first 
mortgages on owner-occupied one- to four-family residences. The 
Company also originates consumer loans, and to a significantly lesser 
extent, loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate and 
commercial business loans.  The Company also invests in U.S. Government 
securities and other investment securities.

The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of 
interest rates and terms. The Company only solicits deposits in its primary 
market area and does not accept brokered deposits.

The Company's revenues are derived principally from interest on mortgage and 
consumer loans, interest on investment and mortgage-backed securities, 
interest on time deposits at other banks, and service fee income.

The executive office of the Company is located at 200 East 
VanTrees Street, Washington, Indiana  47501.  Its telephone number at 
that address is (812) 254-2641.

Market Area

The Company primarily serves Daviess and Pike Counties, Indiana, 
through the Bank's main office located in Washington, Indiana and a 
branch office located in Petersburg, Indiana. 

Washington, Indiana is the county seat of Daviess County, and is 
approximately 100 miles southwest of Indianapolis and approximately 50 
miles northeast of Evansville, Indiana.  Petersburg is the county seat of 
Pike County, which is immediately south of Daviess County.

Lending Activities

General.  Historically, the Company originated primarily fixed-rate 
one- to four-family mortgage loans.  In the early 1980's, the Company 
introduced the origination of ARM loans and short-term loans for retention 
in its portfolio, in order to increase the percentage of loans in its portfolio 
with more frequent repricing or shorter maturities than traditional long-
term, fixed-rate mortgage loans.  Nevertheless, the Company has continued 
to originate fixed-rate mortgage loans in response to customer demand, 
generally for terms of up to 15 years.  See "- Originations, Purchases and 
Sales of Loans and Mortgage-Backed Securities" and "Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 
- - Asset/Liability Management" contained in the Annual Report to 
Stockholders attached hereto as Exhibit 13 (the "Annual Report").

The Company primarily focuses its lending activities on the 
origination of loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied one- to 
four-family residences, consumer loans (including automobile loans), and 
to a significantly lesser extent, commercial business, construction, multi-
family and commercial real estate loans.  Substantially all of the Company's 
loans are originated in its primary market area.  At September 30, 1997, 
the Company's net loans receivable totaled $28.6 million.

The Executive Committee of the Bank is responsible for review of 
all mortgage loan applications.  The Executive Committee currently 
consists of Chairman Murray, President Beesley and Director Wittmer, 
with Directors Hagel and Scheid acting as alternate members.  Three 
members of the Executive Committee generally meet monthly to review 
loan applications.  Individual loan officers and the Executive Committee 
each have authority, up to individually authorized lending limits, to 
approve consumer and mortgage loans.

The Bank's loans-to-one-borrower limit is generally limited to the 
greater of 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus or $500,000.  See 
"Regulation - Federal Regulation of Savings Banks."  At September 30, 
1997, the maximum amount which the Bank could have lent to any one 
borrower and the borrower's related entities was $671,000.  At September 
30, 1997, the Bank had no loans with aggregate outstanding balances in 
excess of this amount.  The Company's largest lending relationship at that 
date consisted of nine loans to a single borrower totaling $451,000 secured 
by a first mortgage on the borrower's residence and commercial inventory, 
equipment and account receivables.  The Company had only four other 
loans or lending relationships in excess of $150,000 at September 30, 
1997.  All these loans are currently performing in accordance with their 
repayment terms.

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

The total amount of loans due after September 30, 1998 which

due after such date which have floating or adjustable interest rates is $5.7 
million.

One- to Four-Family Residential Mortgage Lending.  Residential 
loan originations are generated by the Company's marketing efforts (which 
include radio, newspaper and direct mail), its present customers, walk-in 
customers and referrals from real estate brokers.  The Company has 
focused its lending efforts primarily on the origination of loans secured by 
first mortgages on owner-occupied, single-family residences in its market 
area.  At September 30, 1997, such loans constituted 57.2% of the 
Company's gross loans receivable, up from 49.7% at September 30, 1996.

The Company currently offers fixed-rate and ARM loans.  For the 
year ended September 30, 1997, the Company originated $855,000 of 
adjustable-rate real estate loans secured by one- to four-family residential 
real estate.  During the same period, the Company originated $5.35 million 
of fixed-rate one- to four-family real estate loans.  The Company's one- to 
four-family residential mortgage originations are secured by properties 
located in its primary market area.

The Company currently originates ARM loans generally with a 
term of 15 to 20 years, however, the Company does offer ARM loans with 
up to a maximum term of 30 years.  The Company currently offers one, 
three and five year ARM loans with a stated interest rate margin over the 
Constant Maturity Treasury Index.  The one and three year ARMs 
generally provide for a 2.0% annual cap and a lifetime cap of 6.0% over 
the initial rate.  The five year ARMs generally provide for a 3.0% annual 
cap and a lifetime cap of 6.0% over the initial rate.  Currently, all ARM 
loans originated provide for a "floor," equal to the interest rate of the loan 
on the date of its origination, below which the rate charged may not fall, 
although in previous years loans originated by the Company did not have 
such a feature.

As a consequence of using caps, the interest rates on these loans 
may not be as rate sensitive as is the Company's cost of funds.  The 
Company originates ARMs which may have an initial interest rate that is 
lower than the sum of the specified index plus the margin.  Borrowers with 
ARM loans are qualified at the fully-indexed rate.

Adjustable-rate loans decrease the risk associated with changes in 
interest rates but involve other risks, primarily because as interest rates 
rise, the payment by the borrower may rise to the extent permitted by the 
terms of the loan, thereby increasing the potential for default.  At the same 
time, the market value of the underlying property may be adversely 
affected by higher interest rates.

The Company currently offers fixed-rate mortgage loans to owner 
occupants with terms up to 15 years and may, from time to time, offer 
fixed rate loans with terms up to 20 years depending on the Bank's then 
interest rate risk position and asset/liability objectives.  Interest rates 
charged on these fixed-rate loans are priced on a regular basis according 
to market conditions.  See "- Originations, Purchases and Sales of Loans 
and Mortgage-Backed Securities."

Currently, the Company will loan up to 97% of the lesser of the 
sales price or appraised value of the security property on owner occupied 
one- to four-family loans, provided that private mortgage 
6
<PAGE>
insurance is obtained in an amount sufficient to reduce the Company's exposure 
to not more than 80% of the appraised value or sales price, as applicable.  The
loan-to-value ratio on non-owner occupied one-to four-family loans is 
generally 70% of the lesser of the sales price or appraised value of the 
security property.  Residential loans do not include prepayment penalties, 
are non-assumable, and do not produce negative amortization.  Real estate 
loans originated by the Company contain a "due on sale" clause allowing 
the Company to declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon 
the sale of the security property.

In underwriting one- to four-family residential real estate loans, the 
Company evaluates both the borrower's ability to make monthly payments 
and the value of the property securing the loan.  Properties securing real 
estate loans made by the Company are generally appraised by in-house 
appraisers.  The Company requires borrowers to obtain an attorney's 
opinion or certificate of title, casualty insurance and flood insurance (if 
appropriate) in an amount not less than the amount of the loan.

Residential Construction Lending.  The Company makes 
construction loans to individuals for the construction of their residences 
and, from time to time, to established builders for the construction of 
residential homes without an underlying sales contract.  At September 30, 
1997, all of the Company's construction loans were secured by property 
located within the Company's market area.

Construction loans to individuals for their residences are structured 
to be converted to permanent loans at the end of the construction phase, 
which typically runs up to six months.  These construction loans have rates 
and terms which match any one- to four-family loans then offered by the 
Company, except that during the construction phase, the borrower pays 
interest only.  The maximum loan-to-value ratio of owner occupied single 
family construction loans is generally 80%. Residential construction loans 
are generally underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for 
originating permanent residential loans.

Construction loans are obtained primarily from existing customers. 
The application process includes a submission to the Company of plans 
and costs of the project to be constructed.  These items 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 
(land plus building).

Construction lending is generally considered to involve a higher 
level of credit risk than permanent one- to four-family residential lending, 
due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and 
borrowers and/or the effects of general economic conditions on 
development projects, real estate developments, managers or 
homebuilders.  In addition, the nature of these loans is such that they are 
more difficult to evaluate and monitor.  The Company's risk of loss on a 
construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial 
estimate of the property's value upon completion of the project and the 
estimated cost (including interest) of the project.  If the estimate of value 
proves to be inaccurate, the Company may be confronted, at or prior to the 
maturity of the loan, with a project having a value which is insufficient to 
assure full repayment.  When loan payments become due, borrowers may 
experience cash flow from the property which is not adequate to service 
the total debt.  In such cases, the Company may be required to modify the 
terms of the loan.

<PAGE>

Consumer Lending.  Management considers consumer lending to 
be an important component of its asset/liability management strategy.  
Specifically, consumer loans generally have shorter terms to maturity 
and/or adjustable rates, thus helping to reduce the Company's exposure to 
changes in interest rates, and carry higher rates than do residential 
mortgage loans. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations -Asset/Liability Management" in the 
Annual Report.  In addition, management believes that offering consumer 
loan products helps expand and create stronger ties to its existing customer 
base.  Currently the second largest component of the Company's loan 
portfolio, at September 30, 1997 consumer loans comprised 16.8% of the 
Company's gross loans receivable, down from 17.6% at September 30, 
1996.

The Company offers a variety of secured consumer loans, including 
automobile loans (on both new and used automobiles), home improvement 
and home equity loans and loans secured by savings deposits.  The 
Company also offers unsecured consumer loans.  The Company currently 
originates substantially all of its consumer loans in its primary market area. 

The Company originates consumer loans solely on a direct basis. 
Direct loans are made when the Company extends credit directly to the 
borrower, in contrast to indirect loans which are obtained when loan 
contracts are purchased by a bank or other institution from retailers who 
have extended credit to their customers for goods or services. 

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

Consumer loans may entail greater 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.  Although the level of delinquencies in the Company's consumer loan 
portfolio has generally been low ($88,000, or approximately 1.7% of the 
Company's consumer loan portfolio at September 30, 1997), there can be 
no assurance that delinquencies will not increase in the future.  See "Asset 
Quality - Non-Performing Assets."

Commercial Business Lending.  The Company originates commercial business
loans to service existing customers, to consolidate its banking relationships
with these customers, and to further its asset/liability management goals.  
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 whose value tends to be more 
easily ascertainable, commercial business loans are of higher risk and 
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 dependent upon 
the success of the business itself.  The Company's commercial business loans 
almost always include personal guarantees and are usually, 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.

The Company recognizes the generally increased credit risks 
associated with commercial business lending.  The Company's commercial 
business lending practice emphasizes credit file documentation and analysis 
of the borrower's character, management capabilities, capacity to repay the 
loan, the adequacy of the borrower's capital and collateral.  Analysis of the 
borrower's past, present and future cash flows is also an important aspect 
of the Company's credit analysis. 

Multi-Family and Commercial Real Estate Lending.  The 
Company originates a limited amount of real estate loans secured by multi-
family and non-residential properties.  The Company's Board of Directors 
currently evaluates applications for loans secured by multi-family or 
commercial income-producing property on a case by case basis.

Commercial real estate loans typically involve large loan balances 
to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers.  The payment 
experience on such loans is typically dependent on the successful operation 
of the real estate project and as such may be subject to a greater extent 
than residential loans to adverse conditions in the economy generally.  In 
dealing with these risk factors, the Company generally limits itself to a real 
estate market and/or borrowers with which it has knowledge and 
experience.

Appraisals on properties securing multi-family and commercial real 
estate property loans originated by the Company generally are performed 
by either an in-house appraiser or an outside fee appraiser at the time the 
loan is made.  Appraisals on multi-family and commercial real estate loans 
are generally reviewed by the Company's Executive Committee.  In 
addition, the Company's underwriting procedures generally require 
verification of the borrower's credit history, income and financial 
statements, banking relationships and income projections for the property. 
Personal guarantees are generally required for the Company's multi-family 
and commercial real estate loans.

Loans secured by commercial real estate and multi-family 
properties are generally larger and involve a greater degree of credit risk 
than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans.  Because payments on 
loans secured by commercial real estate properties are often dependent on 
the successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of 
such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market 
or the economy.  If the cash flow from the project is reduced (for example, 
if leases are not obtained or renewed), the borrower's ability to repay the 
loan may be impaired.

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

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

At September 30, 1997, the Company had outstanding commitments for mortgage 
loans, home equity lines of credit and commercial business loans of 
approximately $879,000.  The Company invests its excess funds in mortgage-
backed securities and bonds issued by U.S. government agencies.  See Note 13
of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement.  See "- Investments."

The Company does not currently service loans for other entities.

The following table presents the loan origination and repayment 
activities of the Company and the purchase, sale and repayment activities 
of the Company's mortgage-backed securities for the periods indicated.

Asset Quality

General.  When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a 
loan, the Company attempts to cause the delinquency to be cured by 
contacting the borrower.  In the case of loans secured by real estate, a late 
notice is sent to the borrower on all loans over 30 days delinquent.  If the 
loan becomes 60 days delinquent and the borrower has not attempted to 
contact the Company to arrange an acceptable plan to bring the loan 
current, a letter is sent to the borrower by requesting that the loan be 
brought current within 30 days; otherwise, the loan will be referred to the 
Company's attorneys for collection.  If the borrower contacts the Company 
with a reasonable explanation for the delinquency, the Company generally 
will attempt to reach workable accommodations with the borrower to bring 
the loan current.  All proposed workout arrangements are evaluated on a 
case by case basis, based on the best judgement of the Company's Chief 
Executive Officer (or the Executive Committee if the matter is referred to 
it by the Chief Executive Officer), considering, among other things, the 
borrower's past credit history, current financial status, cooperativeness, 
future prospects and the reason for the delinquency.  In all cases, if the 
Company believes that its collateral is at risk and added delay would place 
the collectibility of the balance of the loan in further question, management 
may refer loans for collection even sooner than the 90 days described 
above.

When a loan becomes delinquent 90 days or more, the Company 
will place the loan on non-accrual status and, as a result, previously 
accrued interest income on the loan is taken out of current income.  The 
loan will remain on a non-accrual status as long as the loan is 90 days 
delinquent.

Delinquent consumer loans are handled in a similar manner as to 
those described above; however, shorter time frames for each step apply 
due to the type of collateral generally associated with such types of loans. 
See "Business of the Company - Lending Activities -- Consumer 
Lending."  The Company's procedures for repossession and sale of 
consumer collateral are subject to various requirements under Indiana 
consumer protection laws. 

The amounts presented in the table below represent the total 
remaining principal balances of the loans, rather than the actual payment 
amounts which are overdue.

Non-Performing Assets.  The following table sets forth the 
amounts and categories of non-performing assets in the Company's loan 
portfolio.  All loans delinquent 90 days and over are placed on non-accrual 
status.  Loans are also placed on non-accrual status when the collection of 
principal and/or interest become doubtful.  For all years presented, the 
Company has had no troubled debt

restructurings (which involve forgiving a portion of interest or principal on 
any loans or making loans at a rate materially less than that of market 
rates).  Foreclosed assets include assets acquired in settlement of loans.  
There were no loans deemed in-substance foreclosed at September 30, 
1997.

For the year ended September 30, 1997, gross interest income 
which would have been recorded had the non-accruing loans been current 
in accordance with their original terms was $8,000, none of which was 
included in interest income.

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

When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either 
substandard or doubtful, it may establish general allowances for loan losses 
in an amount deemed prudent by management.  General allowances 
represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the 
inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific 
allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets.  When an 
insured institution classifies problem assets as "loss," it is required either 
to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion 
of the asset so classified or to charge-off such amount.  An institution's 
determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its 
valuation allowances is subject to review by the regulatory authorities, who 
may order the establishment of additional general or specific loss 
allowances.
12
<PAGE>
In connection with the filing of its periodic reports with the OTS 
and in accordance with its classification of assets policy, the Company 
regularly reviews problem loans and real estate acquired through 
foreclosure to determine whether such assets require classification in 
accordance with applicable regulations.  On the basis of management's 
review of its assets, at September 30, 1997, the Company had classified a 
total of $232,000 of its assets as substandard, $18,000 as doubtful, none 
as loss and the Company had designated $163,000 as special mention.  At 
September 30, 1997, total classified assets comprised $250,000, (without 
special mention) or 4.2% of the Company's capital, or .60% of the 
Company's total assets.

Other Loans of Concern.  In addition to the non-performing assets 
set forth in the table above, as of September 30, 1997, there was also an 
aggregate of $163,000 in net book value of loans secured by four single 
family residences with respect to which known information about the 
possible credit problems of the borrowers have caused management to 
have doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan 
repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such items 
in the non-performing asset categories.  Management considered these 
loans in establishing the Company's allowance for loan losses.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses is 
established through a provision for loan losses based on management's 
evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan portfolio and changes in the 
nature and volume of its loan activity, including those loans which are 
being specifically monitored by management.  Such evaluation, which 
includes a review of loans for which full collectibility may not be 
reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the loan classifications 
discussed above, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, 
economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, and other factors that 
warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance.

Real estate properties acquired through foreclosure are recorded 
at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling expenses, which 
then becomes the new basis of the foreclosed property.  If fair value at the 
date of foreclosure is lower than the balance of the related loan, the 
difference will be charged-off to the allowance for loan losses at the time 
of transfer.  Valuations are periodically updated by management and if the 
value declines, a specific provision for losses on such property is 
established by a charge to operations.

Although management believes that it uses the best information 
available to determine the allowance, unforeseen market conditions could 
result in adjustments and net earnings could be significantly affected if 
circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the 
final determination.  Future additions to the Company's allowance for loan 
losses will be the result of periodic loan, property and collateral reviews 
and thus cannot be predicted in advance.  In addition, federal regulatory 
agencies, as an integral part of the examination process, periodically review 
the Company's allowance for loan losses.  Such agencies may require the 
Company to recognize additions to the allowance level based upon their 
judgment of the information available to them at the time of their 
examination.  At September 30, 1997, the Company had a total allowance 
for loan losses of $81,000 representing 32.40% of total non-performing 
loans and .29% of the Company's net loans receivable.  See Note 3 of the 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Investment Activities

General.  The Company must maintain minimum levels of 
investments that qualify as liquid assets under OTS regulations.  Liquidity 
may increase or decrease depending upon the availability of funds and 
comparative yields on investments in relation to the return on loans.  
Historically, the Company has maintained liquid assets at levels above the 
minimum requirements imposed by the OTS regulations and at levels 
believed adequate to meet the requirements of normal operations, including 
repayments of maturing debt and potential deposit outflows.  Cash flow 
projections are regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate 
liquidity is maintained.  At September 30, 1997, the Company's liquidity 
ratio (liquid assets as a percentage of net withdrawable savings deposits 
and current borrowings) was 8.81%.  See "Management's Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and 
Capital Resources" in the Annual Report and "Regulation - Liquidity."

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

Generally, the investment policy of the Company as established by 
the Board of Directors is to invest funds among various categories of 
investments and maturities based upon the Company's liquidity needs, 
asset/liability management policies, investment quality, marketability and 
performance objectives.  Subject to the Board's direction, the President 
(and such other officers as the President may from time to time authorize 
with the Board's permission) manages and oversees the Company's 
investments and objectives for its investment portfolio.  Currently, 
President Beesley and Vice Presidents Shields and Kim Murray are 
authorized to act in such capacity.  All securities transactions are disclosed 
to the Board of Directors at their next regular meeting or to the Executive 
Committee of the Company, which usually meets monthly.  All securities 
transactions are reported to the entire Board of Directors.

Investment Securities.  It is the Company's general policy to 
purchase investment securities which are U.S. Government securities or 
federal agency obligations or other issues that are rated investment grade.

The Company's investment securities portfolio at September 30, 
1997, contained neither tax-exempt securities nor securities of any issuer 
with an aggregate book value in excess of 10.0% of the Company's 
retained earnings, excluding those issued by the United States Government 
or its agencies.  For additional information regarding the Company's 
investment securities portfolio, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements.

Mortgage-Backed Securities.  The Company's mortgage-backed 
securities portfolio consists primarily of securities issued under 
government-sponsored agency programs, including those of the 
Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), Federal National 
Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage 
Corporation ("FHLMC").  The GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC certificates 
are modified pass-through mortgage-backed securities that represent 
undivided interests in underlying pools of fixed-rate, or certain types of 
adjustable-rate, predominantly single-family and, to a lesser extent, multi-
family residential mortgages issued by these government-sponsored 
entities.  FNMA and FHLMC generally provide the certificate holder a 
guarantee of timely payments of interest, whether or not collected.  
GNMA's guarantee to the holder is timely payments of principal and 
interest, backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.  

Mortgage-backed securities generally increase the quality of the 
Company's assets by virtue of the insurance or guarantees that back them, 
are more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to 
collateralize borrowings or other obligations of the Company.   The Bank 
has a blanket pledge with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis 
which obligates 100% of its mortgage loans and mortgage-backed 
securities.  No specific mortgage-backed securities or loans were pledged 
to secure the Bank's obligations at September 30, 1997.

While mortgage-backed securities carry a reduced credit risk as 
compared to whole loans, such securities remain subject to the risk that a 
fluctuating interest rate environment, along with other factors such as the 
geographic distribution of the underlying mortgage loans, may alter the 
prepayment rate of such mortgage loans and so affect both the prepayment 
speed, and value, of such securities.

Historically, most of the Company's mortgage-backed securities 
were long-term, fixed-rate securities.  In more recent years, the Company 
has begun to purchase other types of mortgage-backed securities 
consistent with its asset/liability management objectives.  In this regard, the
Company emphasizes the purchase of adjustable-rate, mortgage-backed 
securities for asset/liability management purposes and in order to 
supplement the Company's origination of ARM loans.  At September 30, 
1997, $2.30 million, or 46.9%, of the Company's mortgage-backed 
securities carried adjustable rates of interest.

Sources of Funds

General.  The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, 
payment of principal and interest on loans (including mortgage-backed 
securities), interest earned on investment securities, time deposits with 
other banks, FHLB advances, and funds provided from operations.  
Borrowings, principally FHLB advances, are used to support lending 
activities and to assist in the Company's asset/liability management 
strategy.

Deposits.  The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts 
having a wide range of interest rates and terms.  The Company's deposits 
consist of passbook, savings, NOW and SuperNOW checking, money 
market deposit and certificate accounts.  The certificate accounts currently 
range in terms from 91 days to five years.  In the event a customer desires 
a certificate of deposit account with a maturity date other than those 
typically offered with these accounts, the Company will allow its customer 
to set its own maturity date with the interest rate being the rate being 
offered on its certificates of deposit most resembling the customers desired 
maturity date.  In 1996, the Company added ATM/Checkcards to its 
deposit services available to customers.  These cards have been well 
received by a growing number of our customers, who gain access to their 
accounts any time via ATM's nationwide.  The checkcards also allow 
purchases at merchants where personal check acceptance is not permitted.

The Company relies primarily on advertising (including radio, 
newspaper and direct mail), competitive pricing policies and customer 
service to attract and retain these deposits.  The Company solicits deposits 
from its market area only, does not use brokers to obtain deposits and 
currently, does not engage in any type of premium, gift or promotional 
programs beyond the advertising vehicles mentioned above.  The flow of 
deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes 
in money market and prevailing interest rates and competition.

The Company also serves as a depository for public funds for 
various Indiana entities.  At September 30, 1997, the amount of public 
funds on deposit with the Company was $1.21 million. These accounts are 
subject to volatility depending on governmental funding needs and the 
Company's desire to attract such funds.

The deposit accounts marketed by the Company has allowed it to 
be competitive in obtaining funds and to respond with flexibility to changes 
in consumer demand.  The Company has become more susceptible to 
short-term fluctuations in deposit flows as customers have become more 
interest rate conscious.  The Company endeavors to manage the pricing of 
its deposits in keeping with its asset/liability management and profitability 
objectives.  The ability of the Company to attract and maintain savings 
accounts and certificates of deposit, and the rates paid on these deposits, 
has been and will continue to be significantly affected by market 
conditions.

Borrowings.  Although deposits are the Company's primary source 
of funds, the Company's policy has been to utilize borrowings to support 
lending activities and to assist the Company's asset/liability management 
strategy when they are a less costly source of funds, can be invested at a 
positive interest rate spread or when the Company desires additional 
capacity to fund loan demand.  

The Company's borrowings historically have consisted of advances 
from the FHLB of Indianapolis and to a lesser extent reverse repurchase 
agreements.  Such advances may be made pursuant to several different 
credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of 
maturities.  At September 30, 1997 the Company had $4.0 million in 
advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis and the capacity to borrow up to 
$7.2 million.  See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements.

The following table sets forth the maximum month-end balance and 
average balance of FHLB advances and other borrowings for the periods 
indicated.

Service Corporation Activities

As a federally chartered savings bank, the Bank is permitted by 
OTS regulations to invest up to 2.0% of its assets, or approximately 
$830,000 at September 30, 1997, in the stock of, or loans to, service 
corporation subsidiaries.  As of such date, the net book value of the Bank's 
investment in its service corporation was approximately $76,000.  The 
Bank may invest an additional 1% of its assets in service corporations 
where such additional funds are used for inner-city or community 
development purposes and up to 50% of its total capital in conforming 
loans to service corporations in which it owns more than 10% of the 
capital stock.  In addition to investments in service corporations, federal 
associations are permitted to invest an unlimited amount in operating 
subsidiaries engaged solely in activities in which a federal association may 
engage.

The Bank has one service corporation, White River Service 
Corporation ("WRSC"), an Indiana corporation, located in Washington, 
Indiana.  WRSC was organized by the Bank in 1985.  WRSC, through a 
contractual agreement with a third party, offers retail brokerage and 
annuity products to the Bank's customers and the general public.  In 
addition, WRSC provides real estate appraisal comparison services for the 
local realtors on a subscription basis.  For the fiscal year ended September 
30, 1997, WRSC had net  income of approximately $10,000.

Competition

The Company faces strong competition, both in originating real 
estate loans and in attracting deposits.  Competition in originating real 
estate loans comes primarily from commercial and savings banks, and to 
a lesser extent, credit unions located in the Bank's market area and various 
secondary market originators and mortgage loan brokers.  Commercial 
banks, savings banks, credit unions and finance companies provide 
vigorous competition in consumer lending.  The Company competes for 
real estate and other loans principally on the basis of the quality of services 
it provides to borrowers, the interest rates and loan fees it charges, and the 
types of loans it originates.

The Company attracts all of its deposits through its retail banking 
offices, primarily from the communities in which those retail banking 
offices are located.  Therefore, competition for those deposits is principally 
from commercial banks, savings banks, brokerage firms and credit unions 
located in these communities.  The Company competes for these deposits 
by offering a variety of account alternatives at competitive rates and by 
providing convenient business hours, branch locations and interbranch 
deposit and withdrawal privileges.

The Company primarily serves Daviess and Pike Counties, Indiana. 
There are eight commercial banks, one savings bank other than the Bank, 
and two credit unions which compete for deposits and loans in the 
Company's primary market area.  In addition, several lending institutions 
not headquartered in the area make loans in the Company's market area. 
The Company estimates its share of the mortgage lending market and the 
savings market to be approximately 9.0% and 8.0%, respectively, in 
Daviess County, Indiana and 6.0% and 5.0%, respectively, in Pike County, 
Indiana.  These percentages represent management's best estimate of the 
Company's market share taking into consideration the banking institutions 
headquartered in the Company's market area.

Regulation

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

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

Federal Regulation of Savings Associations.  The OTS has 
extensive authority over the operations of savings associations.  As part of 
this authority, the Bank is required to file periodic reports with the OTS 
and is subject to periodic examinations by the OTS and the FDIC.  The last 
regular OTS and FDIC examinations of the Bank were as of June 30, 1997 
and June 7, 1991, respectively.  When these examinations are conducted 
by the OTS and the FDIC, the examiners may require the Bank to provide 
for higher general or specific loan loss reserves.  All savings associations 
are subject to a semi-annual assessment based upon the savings 
association's total assets, to fund the operations of the OTS.  The Bank's 
OTS assessment for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997 was 
$15,000.

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

In addition, the investment, lending and branching authority of the 
Bank is prescribed by federal laws and it is prohibited from engaging in any 
activities not permitted by such laws.  For instance, no savings institution 
may invest in non-investment grade corporate debt securities.  In addition, 
the permissible level of investment by federal associations in loans secured 
by non-residential real property may not exceed 400% of total capital, 
except with approval of the OTS. Federal savings associations are also 
generally authorized to branch nationwide.  The Bank is in compliance with 
the noted restrictions.
24
<PAGE>
The Bank's general permissible lending limit for loans-to-one-
borrower is equal to the greater of $500,000 or 15% of unimpaired capital 
and surplus (except for loans fully secured by certain readily marketable 
collateral, in which case this limit is increased to 25% of unimpaired capital 
and surplus).  At September 30, 1997, the Bank's lending limit under this 
restriction was $671,000.  The Bank is in compliance with the loans-to-
one-borrower limitation.

The OTS, as well as the other federal banking agencies, has 
adopted guidelines establishing safety and soundness standards on such 
matters as loan underwriting and documentation, asset quality, earnings 
standards, internal controls and audit systems, interest rate risk exposure 
and compensation and other employee benefits.  Any institution which fails 
to comply with these standards must submit a compliance plan.  A failure 
to submit a plan or to comply with an approved plan will subject the 
institution to further enforcement action.

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

The FDIC's deposit insurance premiums are assessed through a 
risk-based system under which all insured depository institutions are placed 
into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon 
their level of capital and supervisory evaluation.  The current assessment 
rates range from zero to .27% of deposits.  Risk classification of all insured 
institutions is made by the FDIC semi-annually.  Institutions that are well-
capitalized and have a high supervisory rating are subject to the lowest 
assessment rate.  At September 30, 1997, the Bank met the capital 
requirement of a "well capitalized" institution and was not subject to any 
assessment.  See Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
in the Annual Report.

The FDIC is authorized to increase assessment rates, on a 
semiannual basis, if it determines that the reserve ratio of the SAIF will be 
less than the designated reserve ratio of 1.25% of SAIF insured deposits. 
In setting these increased assessments, the FDIC must seek to restore the 
reserve ratio to that designated reserve level, or such higher reserve ratio 
as established by the FDIC.  These premiums are also subject to change in 
future periods.

Prior to the enactment of the legislation recapitalizing the SAIF, a 
portion of the SAIF assessment imposed on savings associations was used 
to repay obligations issued by a federally chartered corporation to provide 
financing for resolving the thrift crisis in the 1980s.  Although the 
legislation also now requires assessments to be made on BIF-assessable 
deposits for this purpose, effective January 1, 1997, that assessment will 
be limited to 20% of the rate imposed on SAIF assessable deposits until the 
earlier of December 31, 1999 or when no savings association continues 
25
<PAGE>
to exist, thereby imposing a greater burden on SAIF member institutions 
such as the Bank.  Thereafter, however, assessments on BIF-member 
institutions will be made on the same basis as SAIF-member institutions. 
The rates established by the FDIC to implement this requirement for all 
FDIC-insured institutions are a 6.7 basis points assessment on SAIF 
deposits and 1.5 basis points assessment on BIF deposits until BIF insured 
institutions participate fully in the assessment.

Regulatory Capital Requirements.  Federally insured savings 
associations, such as the Bank, are required to maintain a minimum level 
of regulatory capital.  The OTS has established capital standards, including 
a tangible capital requirement, a leverage ratio (or core capital) 
requirement and a risk-based capital requirement applicable to such savings 
associations.  These capital requirements must be generally as stringent as 
the comparable capital requirements for national banks.  The OTS is also 
authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on 
individual associations on a case-by-case basis.

The capital regulations require tangible capital of at least 1.5% of 
adjusted total assets (as defined by regulation).  Tangible capital generally 
includes common stockholders' equity and retained income, and certain 
noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related income.  In addition, 
all intangible assets, other than a limited amount of purchased mortgage 
servicing rights, must be deducted from tangible capital for calculating 
compliance with the requirement.  At September 30, 1997, the Bank did 
not have any intangible assets. 

The OTS regulations establish special capitalization requirements 
for savings associations that own subsidiaries.  In determining compliance 
with the capital requirements, all subsidiaries engaged solely in activities 
permissible for national banks or engaged in certain other activities solely 
as agent for its customers are "includable" subsidiaries that are 
consolidated for capital purposes in proportion to the association's level of 
ownership.  For excludable subsidiaries the debt and equity investments in 
such subsidiaries are deducted from assets and capital.  All of the 
Subsidiaries of the Bank are includable subsidiaries.
 
At September 30, 1997, the Bank had tangible capital of $4.5 
million, or 10.76% of adjusted total assets, which is approximately $3.8 
million above the minimum requirement of 1.5% of adjusted total assets in 
effect on that date.

The capital standards also require core capital equal to at least 3% 
of adjusted total assets.  Core capital generally consists of tangible capital 
plus certain intangible assets, including a limited amount of purchased 
credit card relationships.  As a result of the prompt corrective action 
provisions discussed below, however, a savings association must maintain 
a core capital ratio of at least 4% to be considered adequately capitalized 
unless its supervisory condition is such to allow it to maintain a 3% ratio. 
At September 30, 1997, the Bank had no intangibles which were subject 
to these tests.

At September 30, 1997, the Bank had core capital equal to $4.5 
million, or 10.76% of adjusted total assets, which is $3.2 million above the 
minimum leverage ratio requirement of 3.0% as in effect on that date.
26
<PAGE>
The OTS risk-based requirement requires savings associations to 
have total capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets.  Total capital 
consists of core capital, as defined above, and supplementary capital.  
Supplementary capital consists of certain permanent and maturing capital 
instruments that do not qualify as core capital and general valuation loan 
and lease loss allowances up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted 
assets.  Supplementary capital may be used to satisfy the risk-based 
requirement only to the extent of core capital.  The OTS is also authorized 
to require a savings association to maintain an additional amount of total 
capital to account for concentration of credit risk and the risk of non-
traditional activities.  At September 30, 1997, the Bank had no capital 
instruments that qualify as supplementary capital and $81,000 of general 
loss reserves, which was less than 1.25% of risk-weighted assets.

Certain exclusions from capital and assets are required to be made 
for the purpose of calculating total capital.  Such exclusions consist of 
equity investments (as defined by regulation) and that portion of land loans 
and nonresidential construction loans in excess of an 80% loan-to-value 
ratio and reciprocal holdings of qualifying capital instruments.  The Bank 
did not have any such exclusions from capital and assets at September 30, 
1997.

In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, 
including certain off-balance sheet items, will be multiplied by a risk 
weight, ranging from 0% to 100%, based on the risk inherent in the type 
of asset.  For example, the OTS has assigned a risk weight of 50% for 
prudently underwritten permanent one- to four-family first lien mortgage 
loans not more than 90 days delinquent and having a loan to value ratio of 
not more than 80% at origination unless insured to such ratio by an insurer 
approved by the FNMA or FHLMC.

OTS regulations also require that every savings association with 
more than normal interest rate risk exposure to deduct from its total 
capital, for purposes of determining compliance with such requirement, an 
amount equal to 50% of its interest-rate risk exposure multiplied by the 
present value of its assets.  This exposure is a measure of the potential 
decline in the net portfolio value of a savings association, greater than 2% 
of the present value of its assets, based upon a hypothetical 200 basis point 
increase or decrease in interest rates (whichever results in a greater 
decline).  Net portfolio value is the present value of expected cash flows 
from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts.  The rule will not 
become effective until the OTS evaluates the process by which savings 
associations may appeal an interest rate risk deduction determination.  It 
is uncertain as to when this evaluation may be completed.  Any savings 
association with less than $300 million in assets and a total capital ratio in 
excess of 12% is exempt from this requirement unless the OTS determines 
otherwise.

On September 30, 1997, the Bank had total capital of $4.5 million 
(including approximately $4.5 million in core capital and $81,000 in 
qualifying supplementary capital) and risk-weighted assets of $21,213 
(with no converted off-balance sheet assets); or total capital of 21.42% of 
risk-weighted assets.  This amount was $2.8 million above the 8.0% 
requirement in effect on that date.

The OTS and the FDIC are authorized and, under certain 
circumstances required, to take certain actions against savings associations 
that fail to meet their capital requirements.  The OTS is generally required 
to take action to restrict the activities of an "undercapitalized association" 
27
<PAGE>
(generally defined to be one with less than either a 4% core capital ratio, 
a 4% Tier 1 risked-based capital ratio or an 8% risk-based capital ratio). 
Any such association must submit a capital restoration plan and until such 
plan is approved by the OTS may not increase its assets, acquire another 
institution, establish a branch or engage in any new activities, and generally 
may not make capital distributions.  The OTS is authorized to impose the 
additional restrictions that are applicable to significantly undercapitalized 
associations.

As a condition to the approval of the capital restoration plan, any 
company controlling an undercapitalized association must agree that it will 
enter into a limited capital maintenance guarantee with respect to the 
institution's achievement of its capital requirements.

Any savings association that fails to comply with its capital plan or 
is "significantly undercapitalized" (i.e., Tier 1 risk-based or core capital 
ratios of less than 3% or a risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%) must be 
made subject to one or more of additional specified actions and operating 
restrictions which may cover all aspects of its operations and includes a 
forced merger or acquisition of the association.  An association that 
becomes "critically undercapitalized" (i.e., a tangible capital ratio of 2% or 
less) is subject to further mandatory restrictions on its activities in addition
to those applicable to significantly undercapitalized associations.  In 
addition, the OTS must appoint a receiver (or conservator with the 
concurrence of the FDIC) for a savings association, with certain limited 
exceptions, within 90 days after it becomes critically undercapitalized.  Any 
undercapitalized association is also subject to the general enforcement 
authority of the OTS and the FDIC, including the appointment of a 
conservator or a receiver.  

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

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

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

Generally, savings associations, such as the Bank, that before and 
after the proposed distribution meet their capital requirements, may make 
capital distributions during any calendar year equal to the greater of 100% 
of net income for the year-to-date plus 50% of the amount by which the 
lesser of the association's tangible, core or risk-based capital exceeds its 
capital requirement for such 
28
<PAGE>
capital component, as measured at the beginning of the calendar year, or 
75% of their net income for the most recent four quarter period.  However, 
an association deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision by 
the OTS may have its dividend authority restricted by the OTS.  The Bank 
may pay dividends in accordance with this general authority.

Savings associations proposing to make any capital distribution 
need only submit written notice to the OTS 30 days prior to such 
distribution.  Savings associations that do not, or would not meet their 
current minimum capital requirements following a proposed capital 
distribution, however, must obtain OTS approval prior to making such 
distribution.  The OTS may object to the distribution during that 30-day 
period notice based on safety and soundness concerns.  See "- Regulatory 
Capital Requirements."

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

Liquidity.  All savings associations, including the Bank, are 
required to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a 
certain percentage of the sum of its average daily balance of net 
withdrawable deposit accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less. 
This liquid asset ratio requirement may vary from time to time (between 
4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions and savings flows of 
all savings associations.  At the present time, the minimum liquid asset 
ratio is 4%.

In addition, short-term liquid assets (e.g., cash, certain time 
deposits, certain bankers acceptances and short-term United States 
Treasury obligations) currently must constitute at least 1% of the 
association's average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts 
and current borrowings.  Penalties may be imposed upon associations for 
violations of either liquid asset ratio requirement.  At September 30, 1997, 
the Bank was in compliance with both requirements, with an overall liquid 
asset ratio of 8.81% and a short-term liquid assets ratio of 7.96%.

Accounting.  An OTS policy statement applicable to all savings 
associations clarifies and re-emphasizes that the investment activities of a 
savings association must be in compliance with approved and documented 
investment policies and strategies, and must be accounted for in 
accordance with GAAP.  Under the policy statement, management must 
support its classification 
29
<PAGE>
of and accounting for loans and securities (i.e., whether held for 
investment, sale or trading) with appropriate documentation.  The 
Company is in compliance with these amended rules.

OTS accounting regulations, which may be made more stringent 
than GAAP by the OTS, require that transactions be reported in a manner 
that best reflects their underlying economic substance and inherent risk and 
that financial reports must incorporate any other accounting regulations or 
orders prescribed by the OTS.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test.  All savings associations, including 
the Bank, are required to meet a qualified thrift lender ("QTL") test to 
avoid certain restrictions on their operations.  This test requires a savings 
association to have at least 65% of its portfolio assets (as defined by 
regulation) in qualified thrift investments on a monthly average for nine out 
of every 12 months on a rolling basis.  As an alternative, the savings 
association may maintain 60% of its assets in those assets specified in 
Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended 
(the "Code").  Under either test, such assets primarily consist of residential 
housing related loans and investments.  At September 30, 1997, the Bank 
met the test and has always met the test since its effectiveness.

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

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

The federal banking agencies, including the OTS, have recently 
revised the CRA regulations and the methodology for determining an 
institution's compliance with the CRA.  Due to the 
30
<PAGE>
heightened attention being given to the CRA in the past few years, the 
Bank may be required to devote additional funds for investment and 
lending in its local community.  The Bank was examined for CRA 
compliance in September 1997 and received a rating of "satisfactory."

Transactions with Affiliates.  Generally, transactions between a 
savings association or its subsidiaries and its affiliates are required to be on
terms as favorable to the association as transactions with non-affiliates.  In 
addition, certain of these transactions, such as loans to an affiliate, are 
restricted to a percentage of the association's capital.  Affiliates of the 
Bank include the Company and any company which is under common 
control with the Bank.  In addition, a savings association may not lend to 
any affiliate engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding 
company or acquire the securities of most affiliates.  The Bank's 
subsidiaries are not deemed affiliates; however, the OTS has the discretion 
to treat subsidiaries of savings associations as affiliates on a case by case 
basis.  Directors, officers or controlling persons are also subject to 
regulations that restrict loans to such persons and their related interests. 
Among other things, such loans must be made on terms substantially the 
same as for loans to unaffiliated individuals.  At September 30, 1997, the 
Bank was in compliance with the above restrictions.

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

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

If the Bank fails the QTL test, the Company must obtain the 
approval of the OTS prior to continuing after such failure, directly or 
through its other subsidiaries, any business activity other than those 
approved for multiple savings and loan holding companies or their 
subsidiaries.  In addition, within one year of such failure the Company must 
register as, and will become subject to, the restrictions applicable to bank 
holding companies.  The activities authorized for a bank holding company 
are more limited than are the activities authorized for a unitary or multiple 
savings and loan holding company.  See "--Qualified Thrift Lender Test."

The Company must obtain approval from the OTS before acquiring 
control of any other SAIF-insured association.  Such acquisitions are 
generally prohibited if they result in a multiple savings and loan holding 
company controlling savings associations in more than one state.  
However, such interstate acquisitions are permitted based on specific state 
authorization or in a supervisory acquisition of a failing savings 
association.

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

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

Federal Reserve System.  The Federal Reserve Board requires all 
depository institutions to maintain non-interest bearing reserves at 
specified levels against their transaction accounts (primarily checking, 
NOW and Super NOW checking accounts).  At September 30, 1997, the 
Bank was in compliance with these reserve requirements.  The balances 
maintained to meet the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal 
Reserve Board may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements that may be 
imposed by the OTS.  See "--Liquidity."

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

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

As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock 
in the FHLB of Indianapolis. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had 
$335,000 in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement. 
In past years, the Bank has received dividends on its FHLB stock.  Over 
the past five fiscal years such dividends have averaged 8.80% and were 
7.95% for fiscal 1997.

Under federal law the FHLBs are required to provide funds for the 
resolution of troubled savings associations and to contribute to low- and 
moderately priced housing programs through direct loans or interest 
subsidies on advances targeted for community investment and low- and 
moderate-income housing projects.  These contributions have affected 
adversely the level of FHLB dividends paid and could continue to do so in 
the future.  These contributions could also have an adverse effect on the 
value of FHLB stock in the future.  A reduction in value of the Bank's 
FHLB stock may result in a corresponding reduction in the Bank's capital.

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

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

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

Under the percentage of taxable income method, the percentage 
bad debt deduction could not exceed the amount necessary to increase the 
balance in the reserve for "qualifying real property loans" to an amount 
equal to 6% of such loans outstanding at the end of the taxable year or the 
greater of (i) the amount deductible under the experience method or (ii) the 
amount which when added to the bad debt deduction for "non-qualifying 
loans" equaled the amount by which 12% of the amount comprising 
savings accounts at year end exceeded the sum of surplus, undivided 
profits and reserves at the beginning of the year.

In August 1996, legislation was enacted that repealed the reserve 
method of accounting (including the percentage of taxable income method) 
used by many thrifts to calculate their bad debt reserve for federal income 
tax purposes.  Thrift institutions with $500 million or less in assets may, 
however, continue to use the experience method.  As a result, the Bank 
must recapture that portion of the reserve that exceeds the amount that 
could have been taken under the experience method for post-1987 tax 
years.  At  September 30, 1997, the Bank's post-1987 excess reserves 
amounted to approximately $133,000, all of which has been reserved for 
by the Bank.  The recapture will occur over a six-year period commencing 
in fiscal 1997.  The legislation also requires thrift institutions to account 
for bad debts for federal income tax purposes on the same basis as commercial 
banks for tax years beginning after December 31, 1995.

In addition to the regular income tax, corporations, including 
savings associations such as the Bank, generally are subject to a minimum 
tax.  An alternative minimum tax is imposed at a minimum tax rate of 20% 
on alternative minimum taxable income, which is the sum of a corporation's 
regular taxable income (with certain adjustments) and tax preference items, 
less any 
33
<PAGE>
available exemption.  The alternative minimum tax is imposed to the extent 
it exceeds the corporation's regular income tax and net operating losses can 
offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income.  For 
taxable years beginning after 1986 and before 1996, corporations, 
including savings associations such as the Bank, are also subject to an 
environmental tax equal to 0.12% of the excess of alternative minimum 
taxable income for the taxable year (determined without regard to net 
operating losses and the deduction for the environmental tax) over $2 
million.  For tax years beginning after 1997, the corporate alternative 
minimum tax has been repealed by the "Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997" for 
small business corporations.  Small business corporations are those with 
average gross receipts for the past three years of less than $5 million.  
Based on the last three years' gross income, the Company will qualify for 
this exemption.

To the extent earnings appropriated to a savings association's bad 
debt reserves for "qualifying real property loans" and deducted for federal 
income tax purposes exceed the allowable amount of such reserves 
computed under the experience method and to the extent of the 
association's supplemental reserves for losses on loans ("Excess"), such 
Excess may not, without adverse tax consequences, be utilized for the 
payment of cash dividends or other distributions to a shareholder 
(including distributions on redemption, dissolution or liquidation) or for 
any other purpose (except to absorb bad debt losses).  As of September 30, 
1997, the Bank's Excess for tax purposes totaled approximately $133,000.

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

The Company and its subsidiary have not been audited by the IRS 
with respect to their federal income tax returns.  In the opinion of 
management, any examination of still open returns (including returns of 
subsidiaries and predecessors of, or entities merged into, the Bank) would 
not result in a deficiency which could have a material adverse effect on the 
financial condition of the Bank and its consolidated subsidiary.

Indiana Taxation.  The State of  Indiana imposes an 8.5% 
franchise tax on the net income of financial (including thrift) institutions, 
exempting them from the current gross income, supplemental net income 
and intangible taxes.  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, tax 
exempt interest and bad debts.  Other applicable Indiana taxes include 
sales, use and property taxes.

Employees

At September 30, 1997, the Bank had a total of 14 full-time and no 
part-time employees.  The Company's employees are not represented by 
any collective bargaining group. Management considers its employee 
relations to be good.

Item 3.	Legal Proceedings

From time to time the Company is involved as plaintiff or defendant in various 
legal actions arising in the normal course of business.

On March 26, 1996, a borrower of the Bank, Charles V. Hughes, 
d/b/a Tri-County Motors and Valley Auto Sales (the "Borrower") filed for 
Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court of 
the Southern District of Indiana, Evansville Division.  As a result, the 
Borrower defaulted on his commercial loans during the second quarter of 
fiscal 1996.  The Bank filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the 
Southern District of Indiana, Evansville Division, a Complaint to 
Determine Dischargeablility of Debt owed the Bank by the Borrower.  The 
Bank sought a judicial declaration that the indebtedness owed to the Bank 
by the Borrower resulted from the Borrower's fraud and 
misrepresentations, and that under the provisions of the bankruptcy code 
are non-dischargeable in bankruptcy proceedings.  In June 1997, the Bank 
obtained a judgment against Mr. Hughes for $354,000, the collection of 
which may not be recoverable; however, the Bank is continuing its efforts 
to collect.

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

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

	[HOME BUILDING BANCORP, INC. LETTERHEAD]



                                                       December 19, 1997


Dear Shareholder:

It is a pleasure to present to you the Annual Report of Home Building Bancorp, 
Inc. for the year ended September 30, 1997, our second full year as a publicly 
held corporation.  This year marked a return to solid profitability after the 
challenges of last year.

The Corporation posted net income of $328,000, or $1.15 per share outstanding,
as of September 30, 1997.  This profit resulted from growth in net loans 
receivable, maintenance of a below average cost of funds, and lower 
noninterest expenses than the previous year.

During the year we took a variety of steps to increase the convenience and 
comfort of our customers.  The office hours of the Corporation's wholly-owned 
subsidiary, Home Building Savings Bank, F.S.B., were modified to include 
Saturdays, the Washington, Indiana office was remodeled, and our debit card 
program was expanded.  Our customers now have more access to us than ever 
before.

At this years Annual Meeting Robert M. Murray and Amos W. Wittmer, two of our 
most distinguished directors, will retire.  Chairman Murray has been 
associated with Home Building since 1946.  He oversaw the evolution of the 
Bank from a "building and loan" sharing offices with a law firm into the 
modern unitary thrift holding company it is today.  He has been a director 
since 1964, and was President/CEO from 1977-1990.  Mr. Murray has been 
Chairman of the Board since 1990.  Mr. Wittmer became a director in 1974 and
brought excellent business judgement and experience to the Bank. Mr. Wittmer
also served on the Bank's Executive Committee since 1978.  We at Home 
Building wish to express to Messrs. Murray and Wittmer our sincere thanks for
their many years of faithful and dedicated service.  These men are widely 
known and respected throughout the communities we serve, and we look forward 
to their continued guidance as emeritus directors.

Home Building Bancorp, Inc. and its bank subsidiary offer a variety of 
banking, investment, and real estate related services unmatched even by many
larger institutions.  Certainly we feel our combination of products, 
services, and individual attention is unique.  We will market our unique 
approach both to new customers and also encourage our existing customers to
use us in additional ways.  The Corporation also continues to explore our 
market for additional opportunities.

On behalf of everyone at Home Building, thank you for your business, your 
support, and your investment in Home Building Bancorp, Inc.

Sincerely,


Bruce A. Beesley
President and Chief Executive Officer

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

General

Home Building Bancorp, Inc. ("Home Building" and with its subsidiaries, the 
"Corporation") is an Indiana corporation that was organized in September 1994 
to act as the holding company for Home Building Savings Bank, FSB (the "Bank") 
upon the completion of the Bank's conversion from the mutual to the stock 
form (the "Conversion").  The Conversion was completed on February 7, 1995.
On that same date, Home Building issued 322,000 shares of common stock at 
$10.00 per share (raising $2.6 million, net of shares acquired by the newly 
formed Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") and net of the costs of the 
Conversion) and acquired 100% of the stock of the Bank. Home Building has no
significant operations outside those of the Bank and the Bank's wholly owned
subsidiary, White River Service Corporation.  All references to the 
Corporation prior to February 7, 1995, except where otherwise indicated, are 
to the Bank.

<PAGE>
The Corporation is headquartered in Washington, Indiana, and is primarily 
engaged in attracting deposits from the general public and making loans 
secured by residential real estate, and to a lesser extent, commercial and 
multi-family, consumer and commercial business properties.  The operations of
the Corporation are significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions,
primarily interest rates and regulations relating to monetary and fiscal
affairs and financial institutions.

The Corporation's results of operations are heavily dependent on the 
difference or spread between the average yield on loans, mortgage-backed 
securities and investment securities, and the average rate paid on deposits 
and borrowings.  The interest rate spread is affected by regulatory, 
economic, and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand 
and deposit flows.  The Corporation, like other financial institutions, is 
subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-earning assets 
mature or reprice at different times, or on a different basis, than its 
interest-bearing liabilities.

The Corporation's net income is also affected, to a much lesser extent, by 
fee income received for loan originations, demand deposit accounts, and 
commissions received from the Bank's subsidiary for insurance and mutual fund
products.  In addition to interest expense, the Corporation's operating 
expenses principally consist of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy
expenses, data processing expense, federal deposit insurance premiums, and 
other general and administrative expenses.

Financial Condition

Total assets of the Corporation decreased $811,000, or 1.9%, to $41.7 million
at September 30, 1997 from $42.6 million at September 30, 1996.  Assets 
decreased primarily due to a reduction in interest bearing deposits with 
banks, which decreased $1.3 million to $2.5 million at September 30, 1997.  
Some of these funds were used to fund loan originations, as loans receivable, 
net of allowance for loan losses, increased $474,000, or 1.7% to $28.6 
million.  The Bank continues to compete in its marketplace for quality 
mortgage, installment and auto loans.

The balance of the decline in interest bearing deposits was used to fund net
withdrawals of customer deposits, which decreased $1.1 million, or 3.4%, to 
$31.5 million at September 30, 1997.  Starting the fiscal year with high 
levels of liquidity, Bank management stressed maintenance of the Bank's 
relatively low cost of funds, even at the cost of some deposit loss.  The 
Bank is able to compete aggressively for retail deposits should loan volume 
warrant.  Advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis increased $300,000 to $4.0
million at September 30, 1997, replacing repurchase agreement funds which 
matured during the year.

Shareholder equity increased $394,000, to $5.9 million at September 30, 1997
from $5.5 million at September 30, 1996, through the retention of net income,
after payment of cash dividends to shareholders.  At September 30, 1997 
shareholder's equity was $20.43 per share, based on 288,378 shares, compared 
to $19.49 per share on September 30, 1996, based on the 282,158 shares.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
4
<PAGE>
General.  The Corporation had net income of $328,000 for the year ended 
September 30, 1997 compared to a net loss of $137,000 for the same period 
last year.  The 1996 results of operations were affected by loan losses 
realized from the bankruptcy of a major commercial borrower and by the 
nonrecurring SAIF special assessment.  Operations in fiscal 1996 were also 
affected by tax legislation requiring the recapture of certain bad debt 
deductions resulting in the payment of additional taxes in fiscal 1996.  
Excluding these extraordinary events, the Corporation had net income of 
$311,000 for fiscal 1996.

Interest Income.  Total interest income increased $92,000, or 2.8%, to $3.3 
million for the year ended September 30, 1997 compared to the previous year.
The increase was primarily due to increases in interest earned from 
investments and mortgage-backed securities, as the average balances and 
yields earned on such portfolios increased from 1996 to 1997.  See "Average 
Balances, Interest Rates and Yields" and "Rate/Volume Analysis of Net 
Interest Income."

Interest Expense.  Total interest expense increased $75,000, or 4.3%, to
$1.8 million for the year ended September 30, 1997 compared to the previous 
year.  The increase was primarily due to interest paid on the increased average
balances of savings and certificate accounts. Higher rates paid on certificate
accounts also contributed to an increase in interest paid on such accounts,
but was more than offset by the decline in rates paid on other deposits and on 
borrowings. See "Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields" and "Rate/Volume
Analysis of Net Interest Income".

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $17,000, or 1.1%, to $1.5
million for the year ended September 30, 1997 compared to the previous year.  
Management attributes the increase in net interest income to its success in
controlling the Company's average cost of funds.  The Corporation's 
percentage of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing 
liabilities decreased to 109.95% during fiscal 1997 from 112.99% during 
fiscal 1996.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses is a result of 
management's periodic analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan 
losses.  The provision for loan losses during the year ended September 30, 
1997 was $5,000.  In 1996, the provision for loan losses was, and charge-offs
were, $409,000, leaving allowance for loan losses at $77,000 at September 30,
1996.  During fiscal 1997 net charge-offs were only $1,000, resulting in an 
allowance for loan losses of $81,000 at September 30, 1997.  The $81,000
allowance represents .29% of net loans receivable and 32.7% of total 
nonperforming loans as of September 30, 1997.

Management establishes an allowance for loan losses based on an analysis of risk
factors in the loan portfolio.  This analysis includes the level of its 
classified and non-performing assets and their estimated value, the national
economic outlook which may tend to inhibit economic activity and depress real
estate and other values in the Corporation's primary market area, the 
regulators' view of adequate reserve levels for the thrift industry, and the
levels of the allowance for loan losses established by the Corporation's
peers.  Accordingly, the calculation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan 
losses is not based directly on the level of non-performing assets.

Management will continue to monitor the allowance for loan losses and make 
future additions to the allowance through the provision for loan losses as 
economic conditions and loan portfolio quality dictate.  Although the 
Corporation maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level which it 
considers to be adequate to provide for losses, there can be no assurance
that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that additional 
provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods.  In addition,
the determination as to the amount of its allowance for loan losses is 
subject to review by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") and the 
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), as part of their 
examination process, which may result in the establishment of an additional 
allowance based upon their judgment of the information available to them at 
the time of their examination.

Noninterest income.  Total noninterest income decreased $15,000, or 10.6%, to
$126,000 for the year ended September 30, 1997 from $141,000 for the previous
year.  The decrease resulted from customers incurring fewer late charges and
penalties on savings and money market deposit accounts and certificates of
deposit, as well as a decline in net income by White River Service Corporation,
the Bank's wholly owned service subsidiary.

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense fell $239,000, or 18.4%, to $1.1 
million for the year ended September 30, 1997 compared to $1.3 million for
the previous fiscal year.  Excluding the $224,000 nonrecurring SAIF special
assessment paid by the Corporation in fiscal 1996, noninterest expense would
have remained relatively unchanged for fiscal 1996 to fiscal 1997.
 
Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense,
increased $22,000, or 4.0%, from the previous year as a result of normal cost of
living adjustments.  Occupancy and equipment expense rose $23,000 to $146,000
compared to $123,000 the previous fiscal year, as the Washington, Indiana 
office was remodeled and redecorated.  These increases were offset by a 
decline in the SAIF insurance premiums paid by the Bank and a decline in 
professional fees.

Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense increased from $29,000 in fiscal 1996
to $210,000 in fiscal 1997, as a result of an increase in net income before 
income tax.

Comparison of the Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

General.  The Corporation had a net loss of $137,000 for the year ended 
September 30, 1996, compared to net income of $449,000 for the same period 
last year.  The decrease was due primarily to a $409,000 loan loss realized 
from the bankruptcy of a major commercial borrower and the $224,000 non-
recurring SAIF assessment charged  in connection with federal legislation 
requiring the recapitalization of the SAIF.  In addition, tax legislation was
passed requiring the recapture of certain bad debt deductions which resulted
in additional taxes of $67,000 in fiscal 1996.

Interest Income.  Total interest income increased $55,000, or 1.7%, to $3.2 
million for the year ended September 30, 1996.  The increase was primarily 
due to a slight overall increase in interest-earning assets during the 
period, particularly the increase in mortgage-backed securities.  Increases 
overall were offset by lower volumes of loans receivable, investment 
securities and deposits at banks.  See "Average Balances, Interest Rates and
Yields" and "Rate\Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income" herein.

Interest Expense.  Total interest expense increased $145,000, or 9.0%, to 
$1.8 million for the year ended September 30, 1996 from $1.6 million for the
previous year.  The increase was due to the higher balance of, and higher 
rates paid on, outstanding borrowings during the year, as well as the higher 
rates paid on certificates of deposit.  The volume of and rates paid on other 
types of deposits declined slightly during fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 
1995.  See "Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields" and "Rate\Volume 
Analysis of Net Interest Income" herein.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income decreased $90,000, or 5.8%, to $1.5
million for the year ended September 30, 1996.  The decrease in net interest 
income reflects the shift in the asset mix from higher yielding mortgage 
loans to lower yielding mortgage-backed securities and the higher rates paid
on certificates of deposit and borrowings.  The Corporation's percentage of 
average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities 
increased slightly to 112.99% during fiscal 1996 from 112.10% during fiscal 
1995.  See "Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields" and "Rate\Volume 
Analysis of Net Interest Income" herein.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses is a result of 
management's periodic analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan 
losses. The provision for loan losses during the year ended September 30, 
1996 was $409,000.  No provision was made the previous year, nor did the 
Corporation experience any charge-offs during that year.  During fiscal 1996,
however, the Corporation charged-off $409,000, which equaled its provision, 
leaving the allowance for loan loss reserves unchanged at the end of fiscal 
1996 at $77,000.  The $77,000 allowance represented .27% of the net loans 
receivable and 51.6% of total nonperforming loans as of September 30, 1996.

Noninterest Income.  Total noninterest income increased $14,000, or 11.0%, 
to $141,000 for the year ended September 30, 1996 compared to $127,000 for 
the previous fiscal year.  The increase was due to improved fees and 
operating results by the Bank's service corporation, White River Service 
Corporation ("WRSC"), compared to previous year.

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense, including the non-recurring SAIF 
assessment of $224,000, increased $339,000, or 35.3%, to $1.3 million for the
year ended September 30, 1996 compared $959,000 for the previous fiscal year.
Noninterest expense without the SAIF assessment would have been $1.1 
million for fiscal 1996 compared to $959,000 for fiscal 1995, an increase of 
$133,000 or 13.9%. Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of 
noninterest expense, increased $59,000 to $543,000 for fiscal 1996 from 
$485,000 for fiscal 1995, representing an increase of 12.1%.  Salaries and 
employee benefits increased as a result of the addition of a full time 
employee and normal compensation increases.  Other expenses also increased in
fiscal 1996 primarily as a result of expenses associated with the AMT/Checkcard
introduced by the Bank in May 1996 and repairs and maintenance on real estate
owned during the year.

On September 30, 1996, federal legislation was enacted that requires the SAIF
to be recapitalized with a special assessment on virtually all SAIF-insured 
institutions, such as the Bank, equal to 65.7 basis points on SAIF-insured 
deposits maintained by those institutions as of March 31, 1995.  This SAIF 
assessment, which was be paid to the FDIC on November 27, 1996, was $224,000 
and was accrued by the Company at September 30, 1996.

Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense decreased $238,000 to $29,000 for 
fiscal 1996 from $267,000 for fiscal 1995.  The decrease was the result of 
net loss for the year, offset by the recapture of certain bad debt deductions
which had reduced the Corporation's tax expense in previous years.

Rate/Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income
and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and 
interest-bearing liabilities.  It distinguishes between the changes related 
to outstanding balances and that due to the changes in interest rates.  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 the change due 
to rate.

Asset/Liability Management

The Bank, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk
to the extent that its interest-bearing liabilities with short- and 
intermediate-term maturities reprice more rapidly, or on a different basis, 
than its interest-earning assets.  Management believes it is important to 
manage the relationship between interest rates and the effect on the Bank's 
net portfolio value ("NPV").  This approach calculates the difference between
the present value of expected cash flows from assets and the present value of 
expected cash flows from liabilities, as well as cash flows from off-balance
sheet contracts.  Management of the Bank's assets and liabilities is done 
within the context of the market place, but also within limits established by
the Board of Directors on the amount of change in NPV which is acceptable 
given certain interest rate changes.  Specific strategies to manage interest 
rate risk have included the origination of ARMs and advances from the FHLB to
match durations of fixed rate mortgages.  In addition, management monitors the 
spread between short-term and loan-term liabilities, and at the appropriate 
time, lengthens its interest-bearing liabilities to keep the percent change in
NPV within acceptable limits.  At September 30, 1997, approximately $18.1 
million, or 66.4%, of the Corporation's mortgage loans and mortgage-backed 
securities were scheduled to mature or reprice during the next five years.
Management anticipates that it will replace these loans in the normal course of 
business and through marketing efforts which are devoted to attracting mortgage
loans directly from the public.  Subject to demand, new loans will be originated
at market interest rates.  Loans may also be purchased from other originators
as whole loans or participations in pools of loans should local demand prove
unsatisfactory.  Furthermore, mortgage-backed securities may also be purchased
if excess funds cannot be invested in mortgage loans.

OTS regulations provide a NPV approach to the quantification of interest rate
risk.  Under OTS regulations, an institutions "normal" level of interest rate
risk, in the event of an assumed change in interest rate, is a decrease in the 
institution's NPV in an amount not exceeding two percent of the present value of
its assets.  Thrift institutions with greater than normal interest rate 
exposure, as defined above, must take a deduction from their total capital 
available to meet their risk based capital requirement.  The amount of that
deduction is one-half of the difference between (a) the institution's actual
calculated exposure to the 200 basis point interest rate increase or decrease
(whichever results in the greater pro-forma decrease in NPV) and (b) its normal
level of exposure which is two percent of its present value of its assets.  The
regulation, however, will not become effective until the OTS evaluates the 
process by which savings associations may appeal an interest rate risk
determination.  It is uncertain as to when this evaluation may be completed.
Any savings association with less than $300 million  in assets and a total 
capital ratio in excess of 12% is exempt from this requirement unless the
OTS determines otherwise.  Accordingly, the Bank, because of its asset size 
and level of risk-based capital, is exempt from this requirement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, utilizing the foregoing measuring concept, at 
September 30, 1997, a change in the interest rate of positive 200 basis 
points would have resulted in a 1.70% decrease in the NPV as a percent of the
present value of the Bank's assets, while a change in the interest rate of 
negative 200 basis points would have resulted in a .25% increase in the NPV 
as a percent of the present value of the Bank's assets.  Therefore, the 
Bank's level of interest rate risk would be considered normal under OTS 
regulations.

<PAGE>
Presented below, as of September 30, 1997, is an analysis of the Bank's 
interest rate risk as measured by changes in NPV for instantaneous and 
sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve in 100 basis point increments 
up and down 400 basis points and compared to Board policy limits.  As 
illustrated in the table, NPV is more sensitive to rising rates than 
declining rates.  This occurs principally because, as rates rise, the market 
value of fixed-rate loans declines due to both the rate increase and slowing 
prepayments. When rates decline, the Bank does not experience a significant 
rise in market value for these loans because borrowers prepay at relatively 
high rates.  OTS assumptions are used in calculating the amounts in this table.

As indicated in the table above, the Bank has structured its assets and 
liabilities in an attempt to maintain interest rate risk at a level deemed 
acceptable by the Board.  Management reviews the OTS measurements on 
a quarterly basis.  In addition to monitoring selected measures on NPV, 
management also monitors effects on net interest income resulting from 
increases or decreases in rates.  This measure is used in conjunction with NPV 
measures to identify excessive interest rate risk.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined 
by OTS regulations. OTS regulations presently require the Bank to maintain 
an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to at least 4.0% of the sum 
of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and 
borrowings payable in one year or less.  Such investments are intended to 
provide a source of relatively liquid funds upon which the Bank may rely, if 
necessary, to fund deposit withdrawals and other short-term funding needs.
The Bank's regulatory liquidity at September 30, 1997 was 8.81%. 
11
<PAGE>
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of 
management.  Management adjusts the Bank's investments in liquid assets 
based upon its assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit
flows, (iii) yields available on interest-earning investments and (iv) the 
objectives of its asset/liability management program.  Excess liquidity 
generally is invested in interest-bearing overnight deposits.  If the Bank 
requires additional funds beyond its internal ability to generate such funds
it has additional borrowing capacity with FHLB of Indianapolis and collateral 
eligible for repurchase agreements.  At September 30, 1997, the Corporation 
had outstanding borrowings consisting $4.0 million in FHLB advances, with 
the capacity to borrow up to an additional $7.2 million from the FHLB of 
Indianapolis.

The Bank principally uses its liquidity resources to fund maturing 
certificates of deposit and deposit withdrawals, to invest, to fund existing
and future loan commitments, to maintain liquidity, and to meet other 
operating needs.  At September 30, 1997, the Bank had $879,000 of loan 
commitments.  Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in a year or less 
at September 30, 1997 totaled $10.7 million.  Based on historical experience,
management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain 
with the Bank.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Bank can 
retain all such deposits.  Management anticipates that it will have 
sufficient funds available to meet the Bank's liquidity needs. 

The primary investing activities of the Bank includes the origination and 
purchase of loans and the purchase of mortgage-backed and investment 
securities.  At September 30, 1997, these assets accounted for 87.2% of the 
Bank's total assets.  Such originations and purchases are funded primarily 
from loan repayments, repayments of mortgage-backed and investment 
securities, FHLB advances and net income.

At September 30, 1997, the Bank had tangible and core capital of 
$4.5 million, or 10.76% of adjusted total assets, which was approximately 
$3.8 million and $3.2 million above the minimum requirements of 1.5% and 
3.0%, respectively, of the adjusted total assets in effect on that date.  
The Bank had risk-based capital at September 30, 1997 of $4.5 million 
(consisting of $4.5 million in core capital), or 21.4% of risk-weighted 
assets of $21.2 million.  This amount was $2.8 million above the 8.0% 
requirement in effect on that date.  At September 30, 1997, the Bank was
considered a "well capitalized" institution under OTS regulations.

The Corporation also has a need for, and sources of, liquidity.  Liquidity 
is required to fund its operating expenses, fund stock repurchase programs, 
as well as for the payment of any dividends to shareholders.  At September 
30, 1997, Home Building had $900,000 in liquid assets on hand.  The primary 
source of liquidity on an ongoing basis is dividends from the Bank.  
Dividends totaling $175,000 were paid from the Bank to Home Building for the 
year ended September 30, 1997.  Home Building also retained $1.4 million of the
net cash from the Conversion and, as a public company, has access to public debt
and equity markets.  For the year ended September 30, 1997, Home Building 
paid dividends to shareholders totaling $95,000.  Home Building currently has
no significant liquidity commitments as its operating costs are modest and 
dividends on common stock are discretionary.  Management anticipates that it 
will have adequate funds to meet the Corporation's foreseeable short- and 
long-term liquidity needs.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto presented herein have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, 
which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in 
terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative 
purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.  The impact of 
inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Corporation's operations.
Nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Corporation are financial, unlike
most industrial companies.  As a result, the Corporation's performance is
directly impacted by changes in interest rates, which are indirectly 
influenced by inflationary expectations.  The Corporation's ability to match 
the interest sensitivity of its financial assets to the interest sensitivity 
of its financial liabilities in its asset/liability management may tend to 
minimize the effect of changes in interest rates on the Corporation's 
performance.  Changes in interest rates do not necessarily move to the same 
extent as do changes in the price of goods and services.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this report that relate to Home Building Bancorp, 
Inc.'s plans, objectives or future performance may be deemed to be 
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities 
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such statements are based on Management's 
current expectations.  Actual strategies and results in future periods may 
differ materially from those currently expected because of various risks and 
uncertainties.  Additional discussion of factors affecting Home Building 
Bancorp's business and prospects is contained in the Corporation's periodic 
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's 
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing

obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above 
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position 
of Home Building Bancorp, Inc., and subsidiaries, as of September 30, 1997

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Stock Conversion - On February 7, 1995, Home Building Bancorp, Inc. (the 
"Corporation") began trading as a public company on The Nasdaq SmallCap 
Market.  The Corporation issued 322,000 shares, $.01 par value common 
stock, for proceeds of $2,858,862 net expenses of approximately $361,000.  
Home Building Savings Bank, FSB (the "Bank") converted to a stock 
federal savings bank following the formation of the Corporation and 
received proceeds of $1,432,853 in exchange for selling all its common 
stock to the Corporation.  This transaction was accounted for using historical 
cost in a manner similar to that in a pooling of interests. 

Federal regulations require that, upon conversion from a mutual to stock 
form of ownership, a "liquidation account" be established by restricting a 
portion of net worth for the benefit of eligible savings account holders who 
maintain their savings accounts with the Bank after conversion.  In the event 
of complete liquidation (and only in such event) each savings account holder 
who continues to maintain his savings account shall be entitled to receive a 
distribution from the liquidation account after payment of all creditors, but 
before any liquidation distribution with respect to capital stock.  This 
account will be proportionately reduced for any subsequent reduction in 
such holders' savings accounts.  Federal regulations impose limitations on 
the payment of dividends and other capital distributions, including, among 
others, that the Corporation may not declare or pay a cash dividend on any 
of its capital stock if the effect thereof would cause the Bank's capital to 
be reduced below the amount required for the liquidation account or the capital
requirements imposed by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and 
Enforcement Act and the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") (See Note 
15).  The liquidation account balance was $3,128,000 at conversion.

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include 
the accounts of Home Building Bancorp, Inc., Home Building Savings Bank, 
FSB, and White River Service Corporation (the "Service Corp"), the Bank's 
wholly owned subsidiary, which sells stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and 
annuities.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been 
eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - For the purpose of presentation in the 
consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined 
as those amounts included in the balance-sheet caption cash and due from 
banks.

Securities Held to Maturity - Held to maturity securities consist of 
mortgage-backed securities for which the Bank has the positive intent and 
ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and 
discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method 
over the period to maturity.

Securities Available for Sale - Available for sale securities consist of bonds 
and mortgage backed securities not classified as held to maturity.

Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available for sale 
securities are reported as a net amount in a separate component of retained 
earnings until realized.

Gains and losses on the sale of available for sale securities are determined 
using the specific identification method.

Declines in the fair value of individual held to maturity and available for 
sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-
downs of the individual securities to their fair value.  Stock in the Federal 
Home Loan Bank is carried at cost.

Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest 
method over the period to maturity.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,

Loans Receivable - Loans receivable that management has the intent and 
ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are 
reported at their outstanding principal adjusted for any charge-offs, the 
allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans 
and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.

Discounts on purchased, first mortgage loans are amortized to income using 
the interest method over the remaining period to contractual maturity, 
adjusted for anticipated prepayments.  Unearned discounts on installment 
loans are recognized over the term of the loans using the interest method.

Loan origination fees and direct costs related to loan originations are 
capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan.

The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in 
management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as 
they become due.  When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued 
interest is reversed.  Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the 
extent cash payments are received.

Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral 
values.  The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is 
charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.  Changes 
in the allowance relating to impaired loans are charged or credited to the 
provision for loan losses.  Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy 
of the allowance is based on the Bank's past loan loss experience, known and 
inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the 
borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, 
and current economic conditions.

Foreclosed Real Estate - Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu 
of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at fair value 
at the date of foreclosure establishing a new cost basis.  After foreclosure, 
valuations are periodically performed by management and the real estate is 
carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  
Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation 
allowance are included in loss on foreclosed real estate. 

Costs relating to development and improvement of property are capitalized, 
whereas costs relating to the holding of property are expensed.  The portion 
of interest costs relating to the development of real estate is capitalized.  
Valuations are periodically performed by management, and an allowance for 
losses is established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of a 
property exceeds its estimated net realizable value.

Income Taxes - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently 
enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax 
assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled.  As changes in 
tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted
through the provision for income taxes.

Premises and Equipment - Land is carried at cost.  Building, improvements, 
and furniture, fixtures, and equipment, are carried at cost, less accumulated 
depreciation computed principally by the straight-line method.

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

A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change 
relates to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans.  In 
connection with the determination of the allowances for losses on loans, 
management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

Financial Instruments - In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has 
entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of 
commitments to extend credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded in 
the financial statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred or 
received.  

Effect of New Financial Accounting Standards -In August 1996, the FASB 
issued Statement of  Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting 
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of 
Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 125").  SFAS No. 125 provides accounting and 
reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and 
extinguishment of liabilities using a financial-components approach that 
focuses on control of the asset or liability.  It requires that an entity 
recognize only assets it controls and liabilities it has incurred and should 
derecognize assets only when control has been surrendered and derecognize 
liabilities only when they have been extinguished.  SFAS No. 125 is 
effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment 
of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996, and is to be applied 
prospectively.  The Company plans to adopt this October 1, 1997 without 
any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.  In December 
1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 127, "Accounting for Transfers and 
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities," which 
defers the effective date of SFAS No. 125 for one year.

In February of 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," 
that specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for 
earnings per share for entities with publicly held common stock.  SFAS No. 
128 is effective for financial statements ending after December 15, 1997.  
The Company does not anticipate implementation of SFAS No. 128 will 
have a material effect on its earnings per share computation.

In February of 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of 
Information about Capital Structure," that specifies standards for disclosing 
information about an entity's capital structure.  SFAS No. 129 is effective 
for financial statements ending after December 15, 1997.  The Company 
does not anticipate implementation of SFAS No. 129 will have any 
disclosure effect on its financial statements.

In June of 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting 
Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for reporting and 
display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general 
purpose financial statements.  This statement requires classification of items 
of other compressive income by their nature in the financial statements and 
display of the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income 
separately from retained earnings and additional paid in capital in the equity 
section of the statement of financial position.  This statement is effective 
for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1997, and the Company will 
implement this for its year ending September 30, 1999.

In June of 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about 
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" which establishes 
standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual 
financial statements and requires that those businesses report selective 
information about operating segments in interim financial reports to 
shareholders.  It also establishes standards for related disclosures about 
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.  This 
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1997.  
This statement requires disclosure in information in the financial statements 
and the Company will implement this for their year ending September 30, 
1999.  

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in 
estimating fair values of financial instruments as disclosed in Note 8:

Cash and short term instruments.  The carrying amounts of cash and short 
term instruments approximate their fair value.

Available for sale and held to maturity securities.  Fair values for 
securities are based on quoted market prices.  The carrying values of 
restricted equity securities approximate fair values.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, 
CONTINUED

Fair Values of Financial Instruments-Continued

Loans receivable.  For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have 
no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying 
values. Fair values for mortgage loans and other consumer loans are based on 
quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization 
transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics.  Fair values 
for commercial real estate and commercial loans are estimated using discounted 
cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans 
with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.  Fair values for 
impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying 
collateral values, where applicable.

Deposit liabilities.  The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term 
money-market accounts and certificates of deposit (CD's) approximate their 
fair values at the reporting date.  Fair values for fixed-rate CD's are 
estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates 
currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected 
monthly maturities on time deposits.

Short-term borrowings.  The carrying amounts of securities sold under 
agreements to repurchase maturing within 90 days approximate their fair 
value.  The fair values of the Bank's Federal Home Loan Bank advances are 
estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Bank's current 
incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Accrued interest.  The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate 
their fair values.

Off-balance-sheet instruments.  Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending 
commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar 
agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and 
the counterparties' credit standings.  

Net Income Per Share - Net income per share of common stock has been 
computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common 
stock outstanding

Reclassifications - Certain amounts from the prior year have been 
reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

NOTE 2 - DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES

Debt and equity securities have been classified in the consolidated 
statements of financial condition according to management's intent.  
Amortized cost of securities and their approximate fair values at September 
30 follow.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 1996, the Financial Accounting 
Standards Board allowed a one-time opportunity for entities to review their 
classifications of investments in accordance with Statement on Financial 
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115 and reclassify investments without 
the constraints imposed by SFAS 115.  Thus, the Corporation transferred 
securities with amortized costs of $2,617,941 and fair value of $2,645,719 
from held to maturity to available for sale, increasing the carrying value by 
$27,778.  Gross realized gains and gross realized losses on sales of available 
for sale securities were $22,254 and $9,511, respectively, in 1997 and $0

NOTE 7 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in 
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers 
and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.  These 
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and lines of 
credit.  Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit 
and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated 
statements of financial condition.  The contract or notional amounts of these 
instruments reflect the extent of the Bank's involvement in particular classes 
of financial instruments.

The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the 
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and 
lines of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those 
instruments.  The Bank uses the same credit policies in making 
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet 
instruments.

NOTE 7 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, CONTINUED

Commitments to Extend Credit.  Commitments to extend credit are 
agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any 
condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed 
expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a 
fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being 
drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent 
future cash requirements.  The Bank's experience has been that 
approximately 34% of home equity commitments and 100% of mortgage 
loan commitments are drawn upon by customers.   The bank evaluates each 
customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of 
collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of 
credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.  
Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, 
property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing commercial 
properties. 

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair values of the Bank's financial instruments were as

NOTE 9- PENSION PLAN	

The Corporation participates in the Financial Institutions Retirement Fund, 
which is a multi-employer retirement fund that covers substantially all of the 
Corporation's employees providing defined benefits.  The relative position of 
the Corporation regarding the accumulated plan benefits and plan net assets 
is not determinable by the Corporation.  Pension expense totaled $0 and 
$31,225 for the years ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

The Bank has entered into transactions with its directors, significant 
shareholders, and their affiliates (related parties).  The aggregate amount of 
loans to such related parties at September 30, 1997, was $191,684.  For the 
year ended September 30, 1997, new loans to such related parties amounted 
to $110,604 and repayments amounted to $46,645.

NOTE 11 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Most of the Bank's business and lending activity is with customers located 
within Daviess County and other surrounding counties in Indiana.  Thus, the 
risk of its loan portfolio is directly affected by the economic well being of 
this primarily agricultural area. 

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES

The Corporation and subsidiaries file consolidated federal income tax 
returns on a fiscal-year basis.  Before the current year if certain conditions 
were met in determining taxable income, the Bank was allowed a special bad 
debt deduction based on a percentage of taxable income or on specified 
experience formulas.  The percentage of taxable income method was 
repealed for tax years beginning after December 31, 1995.  The Bank is now 
required to use either the experience method or the specific charge-off 
method.  The Bank is also required to include in income for tax purposes 
only a portion of its tax bad debt reserve.  Approximately $170,000 will be 
taxed over a period of six years beginning with the current fiscal year.

The provision for income taxes consisted of the following for the years 
ended September 30:

Current tax provision:	               1997      	    1996     

  Federal                          	$101,289     	$  35,673

   Total provision                 	$209,764	     $  28,684	

The reasons for the differences between the statutory federal income tax 
rates and the effective tax rates are summarized as follows.

                                   	    1997    	    1996

NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation has various outstanding 
commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the 
accompanying consolidated financial statements.  In addition, the 
Corporation is often defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in 
the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, after 
consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is 
not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial 
position of the Corporation.

The Corporation has deposits with two other Banks which exceed the federal 
deposit insurance limits by approximately $1,189,000.

Due to alleged employee theft that was discovered during the year ended 
September 30, 1997, the Corporation has recorded an insurance receivable 
for $240,444.  Legal counsel for the Corporation believes this amount will 
be fully recovered through the Bank's insurance.

NOTE 14 - RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS

The Bank must obtain regulatory approval before any dividends may be 
declared.  Dividends from the Corporation are limited to the unconsolidated 
retained earnings of the parent corporation.

NOTE 15 - REGULATORY MATTERS

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

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy 
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the 
table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as 
defined).  Management believes, as of September 30, 1997, that the Bank 
meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of June 30, 1997, the most recent notification from the Office of the 
Thrift Supervision categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the 
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as 
well capitalized the Bank must maintain total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, 
and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table.  There are no conditions 
or events since that notification that management believes have changed the 
institution's category.

NOTE 16 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

Employee Stock Ownership Plan - Concurrent with the conversion the board 
of directors approved the adoption of the Home Building Bancorp, Inc., 
Employees Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP").  The ESOP is qualified 
under Sections 401 (a) and 501 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Eligibility 
is based on hours of service, date of hire, and age.  Contributions to the 
ESOP are determined by the board of directors, in the form of cash or the 
Corporation's common stock.  No employee contributions are accepted.  
Contributions are allocated based on the ratio of the participant's 
compensation to total compensation of all participants.  Participant's account
balances are fully vested after five years of service.  ESOP expense recorded
for the year ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, totaled $61,480 and 
$25,760, with 2,999 and 3,151 shares committed to be allocated at 
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The fair value of unallocated 
shares was $372,230 and $347,229 at September 30, 1997 and 1996, 
respectively.

The ESOP shares at September 30 were as follows:

                              	    1997    	    1996

NOTES 17 - RECOGNITION AND RETENTION PLAN

The adoption of the Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP"), was approved 
by the Corporation's shareholders on January 22, 1996.  This plan is for the 
benefit of directors and certain officers of the Corporation.  The RRP is a 
restricted stock award plan   The RRP is administered by a Committee of 
Directors of the Corporation.  This Committee selects recipients and terms of 
awards pursuant to the plan.  The total shares made available for awards 
under the RRP plan were 12,880.  The Committee has awarded 9,660 shares 
of common stock under the RRP.  RRP awards vest in five equal annual 
installments, with the first award vesting on January 22, 1997, subject to the 
continuous employment of the recipients and the Corporation's achievement 
of certain performance standards as defined under such plans.  The 
unamortized unearned compensation value of the RRP is shown as a 
reduction to shareholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated 
statements of financial condition.  Compensation expense related to the RRP 
was $33,547 for the year ended September 30, 1997.
