                                    PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

General

      Community Bank Shares of Indiana, Inc. (the Company) is a bank holding
company of Community Bank of Southern Indiana, (Community) and Heritage Bank
of Southern Indiana, (Heritage) two wholly -owned subsidiaries.  Community
and Heritage are state chartered stock commercial banks headquartered in New
Albany, Indiana and Jeffersonville, Indiana, respectively.  Community and
Heritage are regulated by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions
and the Federal Deposit of Insurance Corporation.

      Community was founded in 1934 as a federal mutual savings and loan
association.  Community converted to a federal mutual savings bank in 1989,
and became a federal stock savings bank on May 1, 1991.  On December 2, 1996
Community converted from a federal stock savings bank to a state chartered
stock commercial bank.  Community's deposits have been federally insured
since 1934 by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") and its
predecessor, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, and
Community has been a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System since 1934.

      On January 3, 1996, the Company capitalized Heritage Bank of Southern
Indiana, a newly organized state chartered commercial bank, for a total
investment of $4,150,000.  Heritage began operations as of January 8, 1996
and provides a variety of banking services to individuals and business
customers through its office in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

      The Company had total assets of $237.6 million, total deposits of
$176.6 million, and stockholders' equity of $26.1 million as of December 31,
1996.  The Company's  principal executive office is located at 202 East
Spring Street, New  Albany, Indiana 47150, and the telephone number at that
address is (812) 944-2224.

      The Company's two subsidiaries are community oriented financial
institutions offering a variety of financial services to their local
community.  The subsidiaries are engaged primarily in the business of
attracting deposits from the general public and using such funds to
originate mortgage loans for the purchase of single-family homes in Floyd
and Clark Counties, Indiana, and in surrounding communities.  The
subsidiaries primary lending activity involves the origination of 15 and
30-year fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") loans secured by
single family residential real estate.  Fixed-rate mortgage loans are
originated primarily for sale in the secondary market, while ARM loans are
retained in the subsidiary's portfolio.  To a lesser extent, the
subsidiaries makes home equity loans secured by the borrower's principal
residence and other types of consumer loans such as auto loans.

      Although Community holds a small amount of multi-family residential
and commercial real estate loans in its portfolio, the Company does not
emphasize the origination  of such loans.  The Company's affiliates make
secured and unsecured business loans to local businesses and professional
organizations.  In addition, the Company invests in mortgage-backed
securities issued or guaranteed by GNMA, FNMA, or FHLMC, and in securities
issued by the United States Government and agencies thereof.

      THE CONVERSION AND REORGANIZATION

      On October 18, 1994, the Boards of Directors of the Community Savings
Bank, FSB (predecessor to Community Bank of Southern Indiana) and Community
Bank Shares, M.H.C.  (the MHC),  the predecessor to Community Bank Shares of
Indiana, Inc., adopted a Plan  of Conversion and Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the Plan).   Pursuant to the Plan, (i) the MHC, which owned
approximately 51 percent of  Community, converted from mutual to stock form
and simultaneously merged  with and into Community, with Community being the
surviving entity; (ii) the Bank then merged into an interim savings bank
formed as a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Community Bank Shares of Indiana,
Inc. (the Company), a newly  organized Indiana corporation, with Community
being the surviving entity;  and (iii) the outstanding shares of Community
common stock (other than those  held by the MHC, which were canceled) were
converted into shares of common  stock of the Company.  Pursuant to the
Plan, the Company then sold  additional shares equal to approximately 51
percent of the common shares of  the Company.

      Shares of the Company's common stock were offered in a subscription
offering in descending order of priority to eligible account holders,
tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans, supplemental eligible account
holders, other members, directors, officers and employees and public
stockholders.

      On April 7, 1995, Community Bank Shares of Indiana, Inc. (the
Company)  was formally established.  The Company received proceeds from the
sale of  stock, net of conversion expenses, of $9.5 million.  Community
received a  capital distribution from the Company equal to 50% of the net
proceeds or  $4.8 million.

Business Strategy

      The Company's current business strategy is to operate well
capitalized, profitable and independent community banks with a significant
presence in their primary market areas.  The Company has sought to implement
this strategy in recent years by:  (1) emphasizing the origination of
residential mortgage loans, small to medium size commercial business loans,
and consumer loans in the Company's primary market area; (2) maintaining a
conservative interest rate risk exposure profile; (3) controlling operating
expense; and (4) broadening the scope of services offered to its customers.

      The success of the current business strategy is reflected in the
consistent increases in capital and a retail growth strategy that has
included upgrading two limited service offices to full service offices,
opening two full service branch offices to attract retail customers and the
formation of a de novo bank Heritage Bank of Southern Indiana which in
addition to traditional banking services sells alternative financial
products as well.

Market Area

      The Company's primary market area is the counties of Floyd, Clark and
Harrison, which are located in Southern Indiana along the Ohio River.  Clark
and Floyd counties are two of the seven counties comprising the Louisville,
Kentucky Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, which has a population in
excess of one million.  The population of the Company's primary market area
is approximately 185,000.   The Company's headquarters are in New Albany,
Indiana, a city of 45,000, which is located approximately three miles from
the center of Louisville.

      The Company's business and operating results are significantly
affected by the general economic conditions prevalent in its market area.

Lending Activities

      General.  At December 31, 1996, the Company's net portfolio of loans
receivable (including loans classified as held for sale) totaled $136.8
million, representing approximately 57.6% of the Company's total assets at
that date. The principal lending activity of the Company is the origination
of single-family residential loans.  To a lesser extent the Company also
originates residential construction loans and consumer loans (consisting
primarily of home equity loans secured by the borrower's principal
residence.) In addition, the Company also originates secured and unsecured
commercial business loans to local business and professional organizations.
Substantially all of the Company's mortgage loan portfolio consists of
conventional mortgage loans.

      Since the early 1980's, the Company has worked to make its interest
earning assets more interest rate sensitive by actively originating ARM
loans, adjustable rate second mortgage loans and home equity loans, and
short-term or adjustable consumer loans.  Since the early 1990's, the
Company has diligently increased the percentage of local commercial loan
originations and outstandings.

      The Company continues to actively originate fixed-rate mortgage loans,
generally with 15 to 30 year terms to maturity secured by one-to-four family
residential properties.  One-to-four family fixed-rate loans generally are
originated for resale in the secondary mortgage market.  The Company sells
loans where servicing is retained and released on its mortgage loans with
service fee income realized on those loans where servicing is retained.

      The Company also originates interim construction loans on one-to-four
family residential properties, mortgage loans secured by multi-family
residential properties, loans to small businesses and consumer loans for a
variety of purposes, including home equity loans, home improvement loans and
automobile loans.

      Residential Real Estate Loans.  The Company's primary lending activity
consists of the origination of one-to-four family, owner-occupied,
residential mortgage loans secured by property located in the Company's
primary market area.  The majority of the Company's residential mortgage
loans consist of loans secured by owner-occupied, single family residences.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had $89.1 million, or 64.2  percent of its
net loan portfolio, invested in loans secured by one-to-four family
residences.

      The Company currently offers residential mortgage loans for terms up
to 30 years,  with adjustable or fixed interest rates.  Origination of
fixed-rate mortgage loans versus ARM loans is monitored on an ongoing basis
and is affected significantly by the level of market interest rates,
customer preference, and loan products offered by the Company's
competitors.  Therefore, even if management's strategy is to emphasize ARM
loans, market conditions may be such that there is greater demand for
fixed-rate mortgage loans.

      The primary purpose of offering ARM loans is to make the Company's
loan portfolio more interest rate sensitive.  However, as the interest
income earned on ARM loans varies with prevailing interest rates, such loans
do not offer the Company predictable cash flows as would long-term,
fixed-rate loans.  ARM loans, however, carry increased credit risk
associated with potential higher monthly payments by borrowers as general
market interest rates increase.  It is possible, therefore, that during a
period of rising interest rates, the risk of default on ARM loans may
increase due to the upward adjustment of interest costs to the borrower.

      The majority of the Company's fixed-rate loans are originated with the
expectation that they will be resold in the secondary mortgage market.  The
Bank's fixed-rate mortgage loans are amortized on a monthly basis with
principal and interest due each month.  Residential real estate loans often
remain outstanding for significantly shorter periods than their contractual
terms because borrowers may refinance or prepay loans at their option.

      The Company's ARM loans adjust annually with interest rate adjustment
limitations of 2 percentage points per year and 6 percentage points over the
life of the loan.  The Company also makes ARM loans with interest rates that
adjust every one, three or five years.  The interest rate on ARM loans is
based on the one-year, three-year or five-year U.S. Treasury Constant
Maturity Index commensurate with the applicable like term mortgage plus 275
basis points.  The Company's policy is to qualify borrowers for ARM loans
based on the fully indexed rate of the ARM loan.  That is, a borrower is
qualified for an ARM loan by evaluating the borrower's ability to service
the loan at an interest rate equal to the maximum annual rate increase added
to the current index.  ARM loans totaled $59.0 million, or 42.5 percent of
the Bank's total loan portfolio at December 31, 1996.




<PAGE>




      The Company has used different indices for its ARM loans such as the
National Average Median Cost of Funds, the Sixth District Net Cost of Funds
Monthly Index, the National Average Contract Rate for Previously Occupied
Homes, the Average three year Treasury Bill Rate, and the Eleventh District
Cost of Funds.  Consequently, the adjustments in the Company's portfolio of
ARM loans tend not to reflect any one particular change in any specific
interest rate index, but general interest rate trends overall.

      Since 1988, the Company's policy has been to attempt to sell a
majority of its fixed-rate single family residential loans in the secondary
mortgage market, either through FHLMC or FNMA programs or other secondary
sources.  The Company's warehouse of unsold loans has ranged between $0 and
$1,074,000 over the past twelve month period.

      The Company has limited its real estate loan originations to
properties within its primary market area since 1988.  However, during the
five year period through 1988, the Company purchased at par approximately
$45 million of one-to-four family residential loans from its wholly owned
service corporation subsidiary, First Community Service Corp. (the "Service
Corporation").  The Service Corporation operated loan production offices in
Port St. Lucie, Naples, and West Palm Beach, Florida and Louisville,
Kentucky.  The offices originated primarily one-year ARM loans with 30 year
terms, and to a lesser extent,  one-year ARM loans with 15 year terms.
During this same period, the Company purchased for its portfolio
approximately $15.0 million of one-to-four family mortgage loans in several
packages from various savings associations and mortgages companies. The
mortgages purchased were predominantly ARM loans with annual rate
adjustments.  These purchased loans, both from the Service Corporation and
from outside sources, accounted for the majority of the Company's variable
rate, one-to-four family residential mortgage loans from 1983 through 1988.

      Concentration on lending exclusively in the Company's primary market
area, and increasing both its portfolio of investment securities and
increasing the Company's commercial and consumer loan portfolio has caused
the Company's loan portfolio of residential loans to decline from $116.7
million at December 31, 1989, to $92.3 million at December 31, 1996.

      Regulations limit the amount that a bank may lend via conforming loans
qualifying for sale in the secondary market in relationship to the appraised
value of the real estate securing the loan, as determined by an appraisal at
the time of loan origination.  Such regulations permit a maximum
loan-to-value ratio of 95 percent for residential property and from 65 to 90
percent for all other real estate related loans.  The Company's lending
policies, however, generally limit the maximum loan-to-value ratio on both
fixed-rate and ARM loans to 80 percent of the lesser of the appraised value
or the purchase price of the property to serve as security for the loan,
unless insured by a private mortgage insurer.

      The Company occasionally makes real estate loans with loan-to-value
ratios in excess of 80 percent.  For real estate loans with loan-to-value
ratios of between 80 and 90 percent, the Company requires the first 20
percent of the loan to be covered by private mortgage insurance.  For real
estate loans with loan-to-value ratios of between 90 percent and 95 percent,
the Company requires private mortgage insurance to cover the first 25 to 30
percent of the loan amount.  The Company requires fire and casualty
insurance, as well as title insurance or an opinion of counsel regarding
good title, on all properties securing real estate loans made by the Company.

     Construction Loans.  The Company originates loans to finance the
construction of owner-occupied residential property.  At December 31, 1996,
the Company had $ 3.2 million or 2.3 percent of its total gross loan
portfolio invested in interim construction loans.  The Company makes
construction loans to private individuals for the purpose of constructing a
personal residence or to local real estate builders  and developers.
Construction loans generally are made with either adjustable or fixed-rate
terms of up to six months.  Loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as
construction progresses and as inspections warrant.  Construction loans are
structured to be converted to permanent loans originated by the Company at
the end of the construction period or upon receiving permanent financing
from another financial institution.


<PAGE>


      Commercial Real Estate Loans.  Loans secured by commercial real estate
constituted approximately $17.0 million, or 12.4 percent, of the Company's
total net loan portfolio at December 31, 1996.  The Company's permanent
commercial real estate loans are secured by improved property such as
offices, small business facilities, apartment buildings, nursing homes,
warehouses and other non-residential buildings, most of which are located in
the Company's primary market area and most of which are to be used or
occupied by the borrowers.  Commercial real estate loans have been offered
at adjustable interest rates for adjustment periods of up to 5 years.  The
Company continues to selectively originate commercial real estate loans,
commercial real estate construction loans and land loans.

      Loans secured by commercial real estate generally involve a greater
degree of risk than residential mortgage loans and carry larger loan
balances.  This increased credit risk is a result of several factors,
including the concentrations of principal in a limited number of loans and
borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income producing
properties and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these
types of loans.  Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by multifamily
and commercial real estate is typically dependent upon the successful
operation of the related real estate project.  If the cash flow from the
project is reduced, the borrower's ability to repay the loan may be
impaired.  Currently, the Company does not emphasize the origination of
multi-family residential or commercial real estate loans.  In addition, the
Company imposes stringent loan-to-value ratios, requires conservative debt
coverage ratios, and continually monitors the operation and physical
condition of the collateral.

      Commercial Business Loans.  The Company also originates non-real
estate related business loans to local small businesses and professional
organizations.  Commercial business loans accounted for approximately $20.2
million or 14.8 percent of the Company's loan portfolio of December 31,
1996.  Most commercial business loans have variable rates which adjust
quarterly, semiannually or annually with the New York prime rate as reported
in the Wall Street Journal, ranging from 0 to 3.0 percentage points above
this index.

      The Company intends to increase its origination of commercial business
loans.  Such loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates
than mortgage loans.  However, commercial business loans also involve a
higher level of credit risk because of the type and nature of the
collateral.

     Consumer Loans. As of December 31, 1996, consumer loans totaled $9.3
million or 6.8 percent of the Company's total loan portfolio.  The principal
types of consumer loans offered by the Company are equity lines of credit,
auto loans, home improvement loans, and loans secured by deposit accounts.
Equity lines of credit are made at rates which adjust every six months and
are indexed to the prime rate of New York banks.  Some consumer loans are
offered on a fixed-rate basis depending upon the borrower's preference.  The
Company's equity lines of credit are generally secured by the borrower's
principal residence and a personal guarantee.  At December 31, 1996, equity
lines of credit  totaled $ 5.2 million, or 56.0 percent of consumer loans.

      The underwriting standards employed by the Company for consumer loans
include a determination of the applicant's credit history and an assessment
of ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan.
The stability of the applicant's monthly income may be determined by
verification of gross monthly income from primary employment, and
additionally from any verifiable secondary income.  Credit worthiness of the
applicant is of primary consideration, however, the underwriting process
also includes a comparison of the value of the security in relation to the
proposed loan amount.



<PAGE>


      Loan Solicitation and Processing.  Loan originations are derived from
a number of sources such as loan sales staff, real estate broker referrals,
existing customers, borrowers, builders, attorneys and walk-in customers.
Upon receipt of a loan application, a credit report is made to verify
specific information relating to the applicant's employment, income, and
credit standing.  In the case of a real estate loan, an appraisal of the
real estate intended to secure the proposed loan is undertaken by an
independent appraiser approved by the Company.  A loan application file is
first reviewed by the Company's loan department and then, depending on the
amount of the loan, is submitted for approval to a loan committee consisting
of at least two senior officers of the Company, or their designee, and
subsequently ratified by the full Board of Directors.  One-to-four family
residential mortgage loans with principal balances in excess of $500,000 and
multi-family and commercial real estate loans with principal balances in
excess of $500,000 must be submitted by the loan department directly to the
Executive Loan Committee of the Board of Directors for approval.  Once the
Board of Directors ratifies or approves a loan, a loan commitment is
promptly issued to the borrower.

      If the loan is approved, the commitment letter specifies the terms and
conditions of the proposed loan including the amount of the loan, interest
rate, amortization term, a brief description of the required collateral, and
required insurance coverage.  The borrower must provide  proof of fire and
casualty insurance on the property serving as collateral and must be
maintained during the full term of the loan.  Title insurance or an
attorney's opinion based on a title search of the property is required on
all loans secured by real property.

      Loan Originations, Purchases and Sales.  Approximately 96.0 percent of
all loans in the Company's portfolio at December 31, 1996 were originated by
the Company.  The Company no longer purchases loans originated by others.
The following table sets forth the Company's gross loan originations and
loans sold for the periods indicated.

      Loan Commitments.  The Company issues standby loan origination
commitments to qualified borrowers primarily for the construction and
purchase of residential real estate and commercial real estate.  Such
commitments are made on specified terms and conditions and are made for
periods of up to 60 days, during which time the interest rate is locked-in.
If a loan is not scheduled to close immediately after approval the Company
charges a fee for a loan commitment based on a percentage of the loan
amount.  The loan commitment fee is credited towards the closing costs of
the loan if the borrower receives the loan from the Company.  If the
borrower chooses to receive the loan from another institution, the
commitment fee is forfeited by the potential borrower.  At December 31,
1996, the Company had commitments to originate loans of $3.1 million, as
well as commitments to fund the undisbursed portion of construction loans in
process of $1.2 million.



<PAGE>


      Loan Origination and Other Fees.  In addition to interest earned on
loans, the Company generally receives loan origination fees.  The Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in December 1986 issued SFAS No. 91 on
the accounting for non-refundable fees and costs associated with originating
or acquiring loans.  To the extent that loans are originated or acquired for
the portfolio, SFAS No. 91 requires that the Company defer loan origination
fees and costs and amortize such amounts as an adjustment of yield over the
life of the loan by use of the level yield method.  Fees and costs deferred
under SFAS No. 91 are recognized into income immediately upon the sale of
the related loan.  At December 31, 1996, the Company had $ 10,212 of net
deferred loan fees and costs.

      In addition to loan origination fees, the Company also receives other
fees  and service charges which consist primarily of late charges and loan
servicing fees on loans sold.  The Company recognized loan servicing fees on
loans sold and late charges of $205,453, $211,122, and $213,053 for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

      Loan origination and commitment fees are volatile sources of income.
Such fees vary with the volume and type of loans and commitments made and
purchased and with competitive conditions in the mortgage markets, which in
turn respond to the demand and availability of money.

      Loans to One Borrower.  Under FIRREA, current regulations limit loans
to one borrower in an amount equal to 15 percent of unimpaired capital and
unimpaired surplus on an unsecured basis, and an additional amount equal to
10 percent of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus if the loan is
secured by readily marketable collateral (generally, financial instruments
and bullion, but not real estate).  Under FIRREA, the Company's subsidiaries
maximum loan to one borrower limit was approximately $ 3.2 million and $
621,000 at December 31, 1996, for Community Bank and Heritage Bank,
respectively.   The Company's subsidiaries are in compliance with the
loans-to-one borrower limitations.

      Delinquencies.  The Company's collection procedures provide that when
a loan is 15 days past due, a late charge is added and the borrower is
contacted by mail and payment is requested.  If the delinquency continues,
subsequent efforts are made to contact the delinquent borrower.  Additional
late charges may be added and, if the loan continues in a delinquent status
for 90 days or more, the Company generally initiates foreclosure
proceedings.

      Non-Performing Assets and Asset Classification.  Loans are reviewed on
a regular basis and are placed on a non-accrual status when, in the opinion
of management, the collection of additional interest is doubtful.
Residential and commercial mortgage loans are placed on non-accrual status
generally when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due and
management considers the interest uncollectible or when the Company
commences foreclosure proceedings.  Interest accrued and unpaid at the time
a loan is placed on non-accrual status is charged against interest income.

      Real estate acquired by the Company as a result of foreclosure or by
deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned ("REO") until
such time as it is sold.  When REO is acquired, it is recorded at the lower
of the unpaid principal balance of the related loan or its fair market
value, less cost to sell.  After the date of acquisition, all costs incurred
in maintaining the property are expensed and costs incurred for the
improvement or development of such property are capitalized up to the extent
of their fair value.  At December 31, 1996, the Company owned approximately
$101,000 of property acquired as the result of foreclosure or by deed in
lieu or foreclosure.

     Classified Assets.  Loans and other assets such as debt and equity
securities considered to be of lesser quality are classified as
"substandard" or "impaired" assets.  A loan or other asset is considered
substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and
paying capacity of the obligor and by the collateral pledged, if any.
"Substandard" assets include those characterized by the "distinct
possibility" that the Bank will sustain "some loss" if the deficiencies are
not corrected.  For debt and equity securities, permanent impairments in
value are recognized by a write-down of the security to fair value with a
corresponding charge to other income.

      On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" which requires that impaired loans be
measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted
at the loan's effective interest rate, or if expedient, at the loan's
observable market price or the fair value of collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent.  A loan is classified as impaired by management when,
based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will
be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the terms of the
loan agreement.  If the fair value, as measured by one of these methods, is
less than the recorded investment in the impaired loan, the Bank establishes
a valuation allowance with a provision charged to expense.  Management
reviews the valuation of impaired loans on a monthly basis to consider
changes due to the passage of time or revised estimates.  Assets that do not
expose the Banks to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the
aforementioned categories, but which poses some weaknesses, are required to
be designated "special mention" by management.

      An insured institution is required to establish and maintain an
allowance for loan losses at a level that is adequate to absorb estimated
credit losses associated with the loan portfolio, including binding
commitments to lend.  General allowances represent loss allowances which
have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending
activities.  When an insured institution classifies problem assets as
"loss," it is required either to establish an allowance for losses equal to
100% of the amount of the assets, or charge off the classified asset.  The
amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the FDIC which
can order the establishment of additional general loss allowances.  The
Banks regularly review the loan portfolio to determine whether any loans
require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.

      At December 31, 1996, the Banks had $100,800 classified as special
mention assets and $594,848 classified as substandard assets. The Bank did
not have any assets classified as impaired at December 31, 1996.


     Allowance for Loan Losses.  Management's policy is to provide for estimated
losses in the Banks' loan portfolio based on management's The allowance for loan
losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb credit
losses inherent in the portfolio.  Such  evaluation,  which includes a review of
all loans for which full  collectibility  of interest and  principal  may not be
reasonably assured,  considers,  among other matters,  the estimated fair market
value of the underlying  collateral,  past loss experience,  volume, growth, and
composition of the portfolio.  During 1994 the Company  credited  $70,000 to the
provision  for  losses  on  loans.   In  1996  and  1995  the  Company   charged
approximately $67,000 and $58,000,  respectively, to the provision for losses on
loans. Management will continue to review the entire loan portfolio to determine
the extent,  if any, to which further  additional  loan loss  provisions  may be
deemed necessary.

Investment Activities

      In recent years, the Bank has sought to increase the percentage of its
assets invested in  securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government
or an agency thereof.  The emphasis on the Bank's investment portfolio has
been to (i) improve the Bank's interest rate sensitivity by reducing the
average term to maturity of the Bank's assets, (ii) improve liquidity, and
(iii) effectively reinvest excess funds.  The Bank's mortgage-backed
securities consist primarily of FHLMC and FNMA REMICs and FHLMC, FNMA, and
GNMA certificates.  Mortgage-backed securities generally increase the
quality of the Bank's assets by virtue of the insurance or guarantees that
back them.  However, mortgage-backed securities are subject to interest rate
and prepayment risk.

      The Banks' investment securities portfolio is managed by the President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Banks in accordance with a comprehensive
investment policy which addresses strategies, types and levels of allowable
investments and which is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on
an annual basis.  The management of the investment securities portfolio is
set in accordance with strategies developed by the Banks' Asset and
Liability Committee.  The Banks' investment securities currently consist
primarily of U.S. agency and government securities.

      Liquidity levels may be increased or decreased depending upon the
yields on investment alternatives and upon management's judgment as to the
attractiveness of the yields then available in relation to other
opportunities and its expectation of the level of yield that will be
available in the future, as well as management's projections as to the short
term demand for funds to be used in the Banks' loan origination and other
activities.

(1) Securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost.

(2)  Securities  available  for sale are carried at fair value at  December  31,
     1996.  Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Financial  Accounting
     Standards  Board  ("FASB")  No.  115.  See note 1 of Notes to  Consolidated
     Financial Statements included in the Annual Report for a discussion of FASB
     115. Prior to that date,  Securities available for sale were carried at the
     lower of amortized cost or fair value.

(3)  The  expected  maturities  of  mortgage-backed  securities  may differ from
     contractual maturities because the mortgages underlying the obligations may
     be prepaid without penalty.

Sources of Funds

      General.  The major source of funds for the Company are dividends from its
subsidiaries, the Banks, which are limited by FDIC regulations. See "Limitations
of Capital  Distributions." The following discusses the sources of funds for the
Banks.  Deposits  are the major source of the Banks' funds for lending and other
investment  purposes.  In addition to deposits,  the Banks derive funds from the
amortization and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, the sale or
maturity of  investment  securities,  operations  and advances  from the FHLB of
Indianapolis. Scheduled loan principal repayments are a relatively stable source
of  funds,   while  deposit  inflows  and  outflows  and  loan  prepayments  are
significantly  influenced  by  general  interest  rates and  market  conditions.
Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the
availability  of funds from other  sources or on a longer term basis for general
business purposes.

      Deposits.  Consumer and commercial deposits are attracted principally from
within the Bank's primary market area through the offering of a broad  selection
of  deposit  instruments  including  checking,  regular  savings,  money  market
deposit,  term certificate accounts (including  negotiated jumbo certificates in
denominations of $100,000 or more) and individual  retirement accounts.  Deposit
account terms vary according to the minimum balance  required,  the time periods
the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate, among other factors. The
Banks  regularly  evaluate the internal  cost of funds,  survey rates offered by
competing institutions, review cash flow requirements for lending and liquidity,
assess the  interest  rate risk  position,  and execute rate changes when deemed
appropriate. The Banks do not obtain funds through brokers, nor do they actively
solicit funds outside their primary market area.

      Jumbo  certificates of deposit with principal  amounts of $100,000 or more
constituted  $25.7  million,  or 14.5  percent of the  Company's  total  deposit
portfolio at December 31, 1996.  Jumbo  deposits  include  deposits from various
business  entities,  individuals and local  governments and  authorities.  Jumbo
deposits make the Banks susceptible to large deposit  withdrawals if one or more
depositors  withdraw deposits.  Such withdrawals may adversely impact the Banks'
cost of funds,  liquidity and funds available for lending.  However,  as part of
the Banks' asset/liability management strategy, each entity and the Company as a
whole  attempts  to reduce  this risk by matching  the  maturities  of its jumbo
deposits  with the  maturities  or repricing  intervals  of a similar  amount of
assets such as investment securities or mortgage-backed  securities. At December
31, 1996, the Bank had a deposit of public funds in the amount of $5.0 million.

      In the unlikely event of  liquidation  of either of the Banks,  depositors
will be entitled to full payment of their deposit  accounts prior to any payment
being made to the Company as sole stockholder of the Banks.

      Borrowings. Deposits are the primary source of funds of the Banks' lending
and investment  activities and for its general business purposes.  The Banks, if
the need arises,  may rely upon advances from the FHLB of  Indianapolis  and the
Federal  Reserve Bank discount window to supplement its supply of lendable funds
and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements.  Advances from the FHLB are secured
by a blanket  collateral pledge of the unpaid principal balance of permanent 1-4
family  residential  loans.  At December 31, 1996, the Banks had  $23,000,000 of
advances outstanding from the FHLB of Indianapolis.

      The FHLB of  Indianapolis  functions as a central  reserve bank  providing
credit for the Bank and other  member  financial  institutions.  All members are
required  to own  capital  stock  in the  FHLB and is  authorized  to apply  for
advances on the  security of such stock and  certain of its home  mortgages  and
other assets  (principally,  securities  which are obligations of, or guaranteed
by, the United States) provided certain  standards  related to  creditworthiness
have been met.  Advances are made pursuant to several different  programs.  Each
credit program has its own interest rate and range of maturities.

Competition

      There is strong competition both in attracting deposits and in originating
real estate and other loans.  The most direct  competition for deposits has come
historically from commercial banks, other savings associations and credit unions
in the Banks' market area. The Banks expect  continued  strong  competition from
such financial  institutions in the foreseeable  future.  The Banks' market area
includes  branches of several  commercial banks which are  substantially  larger
than the Banks in terms of state-wide deposits. The Banks compete for savings by
offering  depositors a high level of personal service together with a wide range
of financial services.

      The  competition  for real estate and other loans comes  principally  from
commercial  banks,  mortgage banking  companies and other savings  associations.
This  competition  for loans has  increased  substantially  in recent years as a
result of the large  number of  institutions  choosing  to compete in the Banks'
market area.

      The Banks compete for loans primarily  through the interest rates and loan
fees charged and the efficiency  and quality of services  provided to borrowers,
real estate  brokers and  builders.  Factors  that  affect  competition  include
general  and  local  economic  conditions,  current  interest  rate  levels  and
volatility of the mortgage markets.

Regulation

      As state chartered commercial banks, Community and Heritage are subject to
examination,  supervision  and extensive  regulation by the FDIC and the Indiana
Department of Financial  Institutions  (DFI).  Community is a member of and owns
stock in the FHLB of Indianapolis,  which is one of the twelve regional banks in
the Federal Home Loan Bank System.  Both Banks also are subject to regulation by
the Board of  Governors  of the Federal  Reserve  System (the  "Federal  Reserve
Board") governing  reserves to be maintained  against deposits and certain other
matters.

      The FDIC and or DFI regularly examines the Banks and prepares a report for
the  consideration of each Bank's Board of Directors on any deficiencies that it
may find in the Bank's operations.  Each Bank's relationship with its depositors
and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by both federal and state laws
especially in such matters as the ownership of savings accounts and the form and
content of the Bank's mortgage documents.

      Federal Regulation of Savings Banks. The FDIC has extensive authority over
the operations of all insured  commercial banks. As part of this authority,  the
Banks  are  required  to file  periodic  reports  with  the FDIC and DFI and are
subject to periodic  examinations by both agencies.  When these examinations are
conducted,  the  examiners  may require the Banks to provide for higher  general
loan loss  reserves.  Financial  institutions  in various  regions of the United
States have been called upon by  examiners to write down assets and to establish
increased levels of reserves,  primarily as a result of perceived  weaknesses in
real estate values and a more restrictive regulatory climate.

      The  investment  and  lending  authority  of a  state  chartered  bank  is
prescribed by federal laws and  regulations,  and it is prohibited from engaging
in any  activities  not permitted by such laws and  regulations.  These laws and
regulations generally are applicable to all state chartered banks.

      State  banks are  subject  to the same  current  national  bank  limits on
maximum loans to one borrower.  Generally, banks may lend to a single or related
group of  borrowers  on an  unsecured  basis,  an amount equal to the greater of
$500,000  or 15  percent  of the  bank's  unimpaired  capital  and  surplus.  An
additional  amount may be lent,  equal to 10 percent of  unimpaired  capital and
surplus,  if such loan is  secured by readily  marketable  collateral,  which is
defined to include  certain  securities,  but  generally  does not include  real
estate.  See "Lending  Activities  -- Loans to One Borrower" for a discussion of
the effect of this requirement on the Bank.

      Proposed Federal Legislation.  Currently, Congress has under consideration
a proposal  which,  if  implemented,  could have a material  effect on financial
institutions in general, and the Banks in particular.  Consolidation of the four
Federal banking agencies (the Federal Reserve Board, OTS, FDIC and the Office of
the  Comptroller  of the Currency) has been and will continue to be  considered.
The outcome of this proposal is uncertain and the Company is unable to determine
the extent to which the legislation if enacted, would affect its business.

Federal Regulations.

      Section 22(h) and (g) of the Federal  Reserve Act places  restrictions  on
loans to executive officers, directors and principal stockholders. Under Section
22(h),  loans to a director,  an  executive  officer  and to a greater  than 10%
stockholder  of a bank,  and  certain  affiliated  interest  of either,  may not
exceed,  together with all other outstanding loans to such person and affiliated
interests, the institution's loans to one borrower limit (generally equal to 15%
of the  institution's  unimpaired  capital  and  surplus).  Section  22(h)  also
requires that loans to directors, executive officers and

<PAGE>


principal  stockholders  be made on terms  substantially  the same as offered in
comparable  transactions to other persons and also requires prior board approval
for certain loans. In addition,  the aggregate amount of extensions of credit to
all insiders cannot exceed the institution's  unimpaired capital and surplus. At
December 31, 1996 the Bank was in compliance with the above restrictions.

      Safety and  Soundness.  On November  18,  1993, a joint notice of proposed
rulemaking was issued by the OTS, the FDIC, the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency and the Federal Reserve Board (collectively, the "agencies") concerning
standards  for safety and  soundness  required to be  prescribed  by  regulation
pursuant to Section 39 of the FDIA.  In  general,  the  standards  relate to (1)
operational  and  managerial  matters;  (2) asset quality and earnings;  and (3)
compensation.  The  operational  and  managerial  standards  cover (a)  internal
controls  and  information   systems,   (b)  internal  audit  system,  (c)  loan
documentation,  (d) credit  underwriting,  (e) interest rate risk exposure,  (f)
asset growth, and (g) compensation,  fees and benefits. Under the proposed asset
quality and  earnings  standards,  the Bank would be required to maintain  (1) a
maximum ratio of classified assets (assets classified substandard,  doubtful and
to the extent that related losses have not been  recognized,  assets  classified
loss) to total  capital of 1.0, and (2) minimum  earnings  sufficient  to absorb
losses without impairing capital. The last ratio concerning market value to book
value was determined by the agencies not to be feasible.  Finally,  the proposed
compensation  standard states that compensation will be considered  excessive if
it is unreasonable or disproportionate to the services actually performed by the
individual  being  compensated.  If an  insured  depository  institution  or its
holding  company fail to meet any of the standards  promulgated  by  regulation,
then such  institution  or company  will be  required to submit a plan within 30
days to the FDIC specifying the steps it will take to correct the deficiency. In
the  event  that an  institution  or  company  fails to  submit  or fails in any
material  respect to implement a compliance  plan within the time allowed by the
agency, Section 39 of the FDIA provides that the FDIC must order the institution
or company to correct the  deficiency  and may (1) restrict  asset  growth;  (2)
require the  institution or company to increase its ratio of tangible  equity to
assets;  (3) restrict the rates of interest that the  institution or company may
pay;  or (4) take any other  action that would  better  carry out the purpose of
prompt corrective actions.

      Regulatory  Capital.  The  Company  and  subsidiary  Banks are  subject to
various  regulatory  capital  requirements  administered  by the federal banking
agencies.  Under capital  adequacy  guidelines and the regulatory  framework for
prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines.

      Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company and  subsidiaries to maintain  minimum amounts and ratios of
total and Tier I  Capital  to risk  weighted  assets  and of Tier I  capital  to
average  assets.  As of December 31, 1996, the Company met all capital  adequacy
requirements to which it is subject.

      The FDIC  generally is authorized  to take  enforcement  action  against a
financial institution that fails to meet its capital requirements,  which action
may include restrictions on operations and banking activities, the imposition of
a capital directive,  a cease and desist order, civil money penalties or harsher
measures such as the appointment of a receiver or conservator or a forced merger
into another  institution.  In addition,  under current  regulatory  policy,  an
institution  that fails to meet its  capital  requirements  is  prohibited  from
paying any dividends. Except under certain circumstances,  further disclosure of
final enforcement action by the FDIC is required.

      Prompt  Corrective  Action.  Under Section 38 of the FDIA, as added by the
Improvement  Act, each federal banking agency was required to implement a system
of prompt  corrective  action for institutions  which it regulates.  The federal
banking agencies,  including the FDIC, adopted substantially similar regulations
to implement  Section 38 of the FDIA,  effective as of December 19, 1992.  Under
the regulations, an institution is deemed to be (i) "well capitalized" if it has
total risk-based capital of 10.0% or more, has a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio
of 6.0% or more, has a Tier 1 leverage  capital ratio of 5.0% or more and is not
subject to any order or final capital  directive to meet and maintain a specific
capital level for any capital measure, (ii) "adequately capitalized" if it has a
total  risk-based  capital  ratio of 8.0% or more, a Tier 1  risk-based  capital
ratio of 4.0% or more and a Tier 1 leverage  capital ratio of 4.0% or more (3.0%
under  certain  circumstances)  and  does  not  meet  the  definition  of  "well
capitalized,"  (iii)  "undercapitalized"  if it has a total  risk-based  capital
ratio that is less than 8.0%,  a Tier 1  risk-based  capital  ratio that is less
than 4.0% or a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio that is less than 4.0% ( 3.0% under
certain circumstances),  (iv) "significantly undercapitalized" if it has a total
risk-based  capital  ratio that is less than 6.0%, a Tier 1  risk-based  capital
ratio that is less than 3.0%, and (v) "critically  undercapitalized" if it has a
ratio of  tangible  equity to total  assets  that is equal to or less than 2.0%.
Section 38 of the FDIA and the regulations  promulgated  thereunder also specify
circumstances  under  which a  federal  banking  agency  may  reclassify  a well
capitalized  institution as adequately capitalized and may require an adequately
capitalized  institution  or an  undercapitalized  institution  to  comply  with
supervisory  actions as if it were in the next lower  category  (except that the
FDIC  may  not  reclassify  a  significantly   undercapitalized  institution  as
critically  undercapitalized).  At December 31,  1996,  the Bank was deemed well
capitalized for purposes of the above regulations.

      Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  System.  Community  is a member  of the FHLB of
Indianapolis,  which  is one  of  the 12  regional  FHLB's  that,  prior  to the
enactment of FIRREA,  were  regulated by the FHLBB.  FIRREA  separated  the home
financing  credit  function of the FHLB's from the  regulatory  functions of the
FHLB's regarding savings institutions and their insured deposits by transferring
oversight  over the FHLB's from the FHLBB to a new federal  agency,  the Federal
Home Financing Board ("FHFB").

    As a member of the FHLB  Bank of  Indianapolis,  Community  is  required  to
purchase and maintain  stock in the FHLB of  Indianapolis  in an amount equal to
the greater of one percent of its aggregate unpaid  residential  mortgage loans,
home purchase contracts or similar obligations at the beginning of each year, or
1/20 (or such greater  fraction as established by the FHLB) of outstanding  FHLB
advances.  At  December  31,  1996,  Community  had  $1.25  million  in  FHLB of
Indianapolis  stock,  which was in  compliance  with this  requirement.  In past
years, Community has received dividends on its FHLB stock. Certain provisions of
FIRREA require all 12 FHLB's to provide financial  assistance for the resolution
of  troubled  savings  institutions  and to  contribute  to  affordable  housing
programs  through  direct loans or interest  subsidies on advances  targeted for
community  investment  and  low-and  moderate-income  housing  projects.   These
contributions  could  cause rates on the FHLB  advances  to  increase  and could
affect adversely the level of FHLB dividends paid and the value of FHLB stock in
the future.

      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.  At December  31,  1996,  the Company had $23 million in
advances from the FHLB.



      Accounting. An FDIC policy statement applicable to all banks clarifies and
re-emphasizes  that the  investment  activities  of a bank must be in compliance
with approved and documented  investment  policies and  strategies,  and must be
accounted for in accordance with GAAP.  Under the policy  statement,  management
must  support its  classification  of and  accounting  for loans and  securities
(i.e.,  whether held to maturity,  available  for sale or available for trading)
with  appropriate  documentation.  The Bank is in compliance  with these amended
rules.


      Insurance of Accounts. Each Bank's deposits are insured up to $100,000 per
insured  member (as defined by law and  regulation).  Community's  deposits  are
insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) and Heritage's deposits
are insured by the Bank  Insurance  Fund (BIF).  This insurance is backed by the
full faith and credit of the United States Government.  The SAIF and the BIF are
administered  and managed by the FDIC.  As insurer,  the FDIC is  authorized  to
conduct  examinations  of and to  require  reporting  by SAIF  and  BIF  insured
institutions.  It also may prohibit any insured institution from engaging in any
activity the FDIC  determines by regulation or order to pose a serious threat to
either fund.  The FDIC also has the  authority to initiate  enforcement  actions
against financial  institutions.  The annual assessment for deposit insurance is
based on a risk related premium system.  Each insured institution is assigned to
one of three capital groups, well capitalized,  adequately  capitalized or under
capitalized.  Within each  capital  group,  institutions  are assigned to one of
three  subgroups  (A, B, or C) on the basis of  supervisory  evaluations  by the
institution's  primary federal  supervisor and if applicable,  state supervisor.
Assignment to one of the three capital groups, coupled with assignment to one of
three   supervisory   subgroups,   will   determine   which  of  the  nine  risk
classifications  is appropriate  for an institution.  Institutions  are assessed
insurance  rates  based  on  their  assigned  risk  classifications.   The  well
capitalized,   subgroup  "A"  category  institutions  are  assessed  the  lowest
insurance rate, while  institutions  assigned to the under capitalized  subgroup
"C" category are assessed the highest  insurance  rate.  As of December 31, 1996
both banks were assigned to the well capitalized,  subgroup "A" category. During
1996,  Community  Bank  paid an  annual  insurance  rate of 23 cents per $100 of
deposits,  while  Heritage  Bank paid the minimum  assessment  required by a BIF
insured institution of $1,000.


<PAGE>


      In August  1995,  the FDIC  substantially  reduced the  deposit  insurance
premiums for  well-capitalized,  well-managed  financial  institutions  that are
members of the BIF. Under the new assessment schedule,  approximately 92% of BIF
members  paid a  minimum  assessment  of  $1,000  per year  while  SAIF  members
continued  to be assessed  under the  existing  rate  schedule of 23 cents to 31
cents per $100 of insured deposits.

      On September  30, 1996,  all SAIF member  institutions  were charged a one
time  assessment  to  increase  SAIF's  reserves  to $1.25  per $100 of  insured
deposits.  Community's  charge amounted to $1.2 million with an after tax impact
of  approximately  $678,000.  Commencing  in 1997,  both  SAIF  and BIF  insured
institutions will pay insurance at the rate of 6.4 cents per $100 in deposits.

      The FDIC may  terminate  the deposit  insurance of any insured  depository
institution if it determines,  after a hearing, that the institution has engaged
or is  engaging  in  unsafe or  unsound  practices,  is in an unsafe or  unsound
condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation,
order or any condition  imposed by an agreement with the FDIC. The FDIC also may
suspend deposit  insurance  temporarily for any savings  institution  during the
hearing process for the permanent  termination of insurance,  if the Bank has no
tangible capital.  If insurance of accounts is terminated,  the insured accounts
at the institution at the time of the termination,  less subsequent withdrawals,
shall  continue  to be  insured  for a period  of six  months to two  years,  as
determined by the FDIC.

      The FDIC has passed regulations,  under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act,
that generally prohibit payments to directors, officers and employees contingent
upon termination of their  affiliation  with an FDIC-insured  institution or its
holding company (i.e.,  "golden parachute  payments") if the payment is received
after or in contemplation  of, among other things,  insolvency,  a determination
that the  institution  or holding  company is in  "troubled  condition",  or the
assignment of a composite  examination rating of "4" or "5" for the institution.
Certain types of employee benefit plans are not subject to the prohibition.  The
regulations,  which are not  currently  applicable  to the  Company,  would also
generally prohibit certain indemnification payments regarding any administrative
proceeding instituted against a person that results in a final order pursuant to
which the  person is  assessed  civil  money  penalties  or  subjected  to other
enforcement  action.  The Company has no such  agreements  with any directors or
employees.


      The  Federal  Reserve  System.  The Federal  Reserve  Board  requires  all
depository  institutions to maintain reserves against their transaction accounts
and  non-personal  time  deposits.  As of December  31, 1996,  no reserves  were
required to be  maintained  on the first $4.3 million of  transaction  accounts,
reserves of 3% were required to be maintained  against the next $52.0 million of
net transaction  accounts (with such dollar amounts subject to adjustment by the
Federal Reserve Board),  and a reserve of 10% (which is subject to adjustment by
the Federal  Reserve  Board to a level between 8% and 14%) against all remaining
net transaction  accounts.  Because required  reserves must be maintained in the
form of vault cash or a  noninterest-bearing  account at a Federal reserve Bank,
the effect of this reserve  requirement  is to reduce an  institution's  earning
assets.

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

      Federal  Taxation.  For federal  income tax purposes,  the Company and its
subsidiaries  file a  consolidated  federal income tax return on a calendar year
basis.   Consolidated  returns  have  the  effect  of  eliminating  intercompany
distributions, including dividends, from the computation of consolidated taxable
income for the taxable year in which the distributions occur.

      The  Company  and its  subsidiaries  are  subject  to the rules of federal
income taxation generally  applicable to corporations under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

      The Company is subject to the corporate  alternative  minimum tax which is
imposed to the extent it exceeds the Company's  regular income tax for the year.
The  alternative  minimum  tax will be  imposed  at the rate of 20  percent of a
specially  computed  tax  base.  Included  in  this  base  will be a  number  of
preference  items,  including the following:  (i) 100 percent of the excess of a
thrift  institution's  bad debt  deduction  over the amount that would have been
allowable on the basis of actual experience; (ii) interest on certain tax-exempt
bonds  issued after  August 7, 1986;  and (iii) for years  beginning in 1988 and
1989 an amount  equal to one-half of the amount by which a  institution's  "book
income"  (as  specially   defined)  exceeds  its  taxable  income  with  certain
adjustments,  including  the addition of  preference  items (for  taxable  years
commencing  after 1989 this  adjustment  item is replaced with a new  preference
item  relating  to  "adjusted  current  earnings"  as  specially  computed).  In
addition,  for  purposes  of the new  alternative  minimum  tax,  the  amount of
alternative minimum taxable income that may be offset by net operating losses is
limited to 90 percent of alternative minimum taxable income.

      Effective  with the year ended  December  31,  1993,  the Company  adopted
Statement of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 109,  Accounting  for
Income  Taxes.  This  statement  requires a  liability  approach  for  measuring
deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary  differences  existing at
each balance sheet date using enacted tax rates in effect when those differences
are expected to reverse.  The cumulative effect of adopting Statement No. 109 at
January  1,  1993  is  included  in  income  tax  expense  in  the  accompanying
Consolidated Statement of Operations. (See Item 14 (a) 1 -Financial Statements)

      Earnings appropriated to the Banks' bad debt reserve will not be available
for the payment of cash dividends or for distribution to stockholders (including
distributions  made  on  dissolution  or  amount  deemed  necessary  to pay  the
resulting   federal  income  tax).  As  of  December  31,  1996,  the  Bank  had
approximately $4.5 million of accumulated  earnings for which federal income tax
has not been  provided.  If such amount is used for any  purpose  other than bad
debt losses, including a dividend distribution or a distribution in liquidation,
it will be subject to federal income tax at the then current rate.

      The Bank has not been audited by the Internal Revenue Service for the past
ten years.

      Indiana Taxation.  Effective January 1, 1990, the State of Indiana imposed
a franchise tax assessed on net income  (adjusted gross income as defined in the
statute) of financial institutions. The new tax replaced the gross receipts tax,
excise  tax and  supplemental  net income tax  imposed  prior to 1990.  This new
financial  institution's tax is imposed at the rate of 8.5 percent of the Banks'
adjusted gross income.  In computing  adjusted  gross income,  no deductions are
allowed for  municipal  interest,  U.S.  government  interest  and  pre-1990 net
operating losses.

Personnel

      As of December 31, 1996, the Company had 75 full-time employees. Community
Bank  employed 38 full-time  and 7 part-time  employees as of December 31, 1996.
Heritage Bank employed 11 full-time and 1 part-time employees as of December 31,
1996.  Neither  entity's  employees are  represented by a collective  bargaining
group.   The  Company  and  two  subsidiary   Banks  believe  their   respective
relationships with their employees to be good.
