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 $254.1  million,  total  deposits of
$186.0  million,  and  stockholders'  equity of $27.7 million as of December 31,
1997.  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  and the  origination of small to medium sixed business
loans. 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 loans and various term business  related
real estate loans. Depending on each subsidiary's liquidity,  interest rate risk
and balance  sheet  positions,  fixed-rate  mortgage  loans are  originated  for
inclusion in the retained loan portfolio or sale in the secondary market,  while
ARM loans are originated primarily for retention in each subsidiary's portfolio.
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 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  Savings Bank (the Bank),  converted  from mutual to stock form and
simultaneously  merged with and into the Bank, with Community Savings Bank 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. 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 second
subsidiary  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, 1997,  the  Company's  net portfolio of loans
receivable (including loans classified as held for sale) totaled $143.8 million,
representing approximately 56.6% of the Company's total assets at that date. The
principal  lending  activity of the Company is the origination of  single-family
residential loans and secured and unsecured  commercial  business loans to local
business and  professional  organizations.  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 terms to  maturity of between 15- to 30- years terms and secured
by one-to-four  family  residential  properties.  One-to-four  family fixed-rate
loans  generally are originated for retention in the loan portfolio or resale in
the secondary  mortgage market.  The Company sells mortgage loans with servicing
either retained or released. The Company earns service fee income 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, 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, 1997, the
Company had $80.9 million,  or 56.2 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 Banks' fixed-rate mortgage loans are amortized on a monthly basis 
with principal and interest due each month.  Residential real estate loans often
remain  outstanding fro  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


                                       10
<PAGE>
interest rate equal to the maximum annual rate increase added to the current 
index.  ARM loans totaled $52.2 million, or 36.3 percent of the Bank's total
loan portfolio at December 31, 1997.

         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.

         
         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").  Of this
original $45  million,  $9.8  million was still  outstanding  as of December 31,
1997.  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 banks
and mortgages  companies.  Of this original $15 million,  $5.1 million was still
outstanding as of December 31, 1997. 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 $84.2 million at December 31, 1997.

         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, 1997, the
Company  had $ 2.0  million  or 1.4  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 to be
terminated   upon  receipt  of  permanent   financing  from  another   financial
instituion.

         Commercial  Real Estate Loans.  Loans secured by commercial real estate
constituted approximately $21.8 million, or 15.2 percent, of the Company's total
net loan portfolio at December 31, 1997. 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 and
at fixed rates with balloon  provisions  at the end of the term  financing.  The
Company  continues to 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  $27.9 million or 19.4
percent of the  Company's  loan  portfolio of December  31,  1997.  This type of
commercial  loan has been  offered at both  variable  rates and fixed rates with
balloon payments required at maturity.

         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, 1997,  consumer loans totaled $11.6
million or 8.1 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  predominately  made at rates which adjust  periodically and
are indexed to the prime rate.  Some consumer  loans are offered on a fixed-rate
basis depending upon the borrower's  preference.  The Company's  equity lines of


                                       12
<PAGE>
credit  are  generally  secured  by the  borrower's  principal  residence  and a
personal  guarantee.  At December 31, 1997, equity lines of credit totaled $ 6.8
million, or 59.0 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.

         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  independent  appraiser  approved by the
Company  undertakes  an  appraisal  of the real  estate  intended  to secure the
proposed loan. 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 such  insurance  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   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 potential borrower chooses to borrow funds from another
institution,  the commitment fee is forfeited. At December 31, 1997, the Company
had  commitments to originate  loans of $3.6 million,  as well as commitments to
fund the undisbursed portion of construction loans in process of $836,000.

         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, 1997,  the Company had $ 22,277 of  outstanding  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 $199,940,  $205,453,  and $211,122 for the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, 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,  but not real
estate).  Under  FIRREA,  the  Company's  subsidiaries  had maximum  loan to one
borrower  limits of  approximately  $ 3.4 million and $ 652,000 at December  31,
1997,  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, 1997,  the Company did not own any property  acquired as the result
of foreclosure or by deed in lieu or foreclosure.

         The following table sets forth information  regarding non-accrual loans
and other  non-performing  assets at the dates indicated.  At December 31, 1997,

the Company's  policy to generally not accrue interest on loans  delinquent more
than 90 days.

     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  review  the loan  portfolio  monthly  to
determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable
regulations.

         At December 31,  1997,  the Banks had  $771,185  classified  as special
mention  assets,  $482,813  classified  as  substandard  assets,  and no  assets
classified as impaired assets.

         Allowance  for Loan  Losses.  Management's  policy  is to  provide  for
estimated  losses in the Banks' loan portfolio based on management's  evaluation
of the probable  losses that may be incurred.  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 1995 the Company  credited  $58,000 to the provision for
losses on loans. In 1997 and 1996 the Company charged approximately $210,000 and
$67,000,  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 Banks' have 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 Banks' investment  portfolio has been to
(i) improve the Banks' interest rate sensitivity by reducing the average term to
maturity of the Banks  assets,  (ii) improve  liquidity,  and (iii)  effectively
reinvest excess funds.

         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, 1997.  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 is  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  $28.3  million,  or 15.2  percent of the  Company's  total  deposit
portfolio at December 31, 1997.  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.

         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, 1997, the Banks had
$27,000,000 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.

         Short-term Borrowings. The Banks also obtain funds through the offering
of  retail  repurchase   agreements.   Retail  repurchase  agreements  represent
overnight borrowings from deposit customers secured by debt securities under the
control of the Banks.  As of December 31, 1997,  the Banks had $12.1  million of
retail repurchase agreements outstanding.  In addition, Community Bank maintains
a $2,000,000 line of credit with the FHLB of Indianapolis in the event of a need
for funds in an overnight capacity.

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 DFI regularly  examine 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 Banks' 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 not lend to a single or
related  group of  borrowers  on an  unsecured  basis an amount in excess of 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 principal stockholders

                                       28
<PAGE>
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, 1997 
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, 1997, the Company met all capital adequacy
requirements to which it is subject.

</TABLE>


         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,  1997,  the Bank was deemed well
capitalized for purposes of the above regulations.

                                       30
<PAGE>
         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,  1997,  Community  had  $1.58  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,  1997,  the Company had $27 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

                                       31
<PAGE>
capitalized subgroup "C" category are assessed the highest insurance rate. As of
December 31, 1997 both banks were assigned to the well capitalized, subgroup "A"
category. During 1997, Community Bank paid an annual insurance rate of 6.3 cents
per $100 of deposits,  while Heritage Bank paid an annual insurance rate of 1.26
cents per $100 of deposits.

         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 Bank's charge amounted to $1.2 million with an after tax 
impact of approximately $678,000.

         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 financial 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, 1997,  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.


                                       32
<PAGE>
         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
financial 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)

         The Company 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,  1997,  the Company  had 80  full-time  employees.
Community  Bank employed 41 full-time  and 6 part-time  employees as of December
31, 1997. Heritage Bank employed 12 full-time employees as of December 31, 1997.
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.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

The Company  conducts  its  business  through the main office and an  operations
center  located  in  New  Albany,  Indiana,  and  seven  branch  offices  of its
subsidiaries  Community  Bank and  Heritage  Bank  located  in Clark  and  Floyd
Counties, Indiana. The following table sets forth certain information concerning
the main offices and each branch office at December 31, 1997.  The aggregate net
book value of premises and equipment was $3.7 million at December 31, 1997.

                           Review of Operations - 1997

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

We are  pleased  to report  that 1997 was a record  year for your  company  in a
number of important  areas.  

Community Bank Shares net consolidated  after tax income was a record $2,386,000
or $1.21 per share, up 47.8% over 1996's consolidated  income of $1,614,000,  or
$.82 per share.* 

The  Company's  consolidated  assets,  as of December  31, 1997 reached a record
$254.1 million,  up 6.9% from December 31, 1996's record high of $237.6 million.
As of December 31, 1997, the company's  consolidated  capital was $27.7 million,
up 6.1% over December 31, 1996's capital total of $26.1 million.

The following table highlights earnings per share for the year ended
December 31, 1997:

Community Bank Center Building Construction Gets Underway. In October, 1997, the
dirt flew,  as work got  underway on our long  planned  "Community  Bank Center"
plaza and building.  (See the rendering of our new corporate center on the cover
of this  report.)  The five  story  commercial  center  is  located  immediately
adjacent to a municipally  owned  multi-story  270 space parking  garage that is
currently  under  construction.  

The Center,  when  completed  in early 1999,  will house  Community  Bank's main
commercial  and retail  banking  center,  Community  Bank Shares  operations and
support service center, and Community Bank Shares and Community Bank's corporate
and administrative offices. The center will also contain over 15,000 square feet
of prime commercial office space available for corporate and commercial tenants.

Community  Bank of  Southern  Indiana ended 1997 with total  assets of $218.1
million,  up 4.6% from  1996's  year end total of $208.5  million.  Earnings  at
Community Bank, for 1997, were a record $2,301,000, fueled by a strong growth in
commercial/business loans and deposits.

Community  Bank  remains  the  largest  locally  owned   financial   institution
headquartered in the five county  Harrison,  Floyd,  Clark,  Scott and Jefferson
County, Indiana services area.

Heritage  Bank of  Southern  Indiana,  our Clark  County  headquartered  banking
affiliate,  ended  its  second  full  year of  operations  with  assets of $35.4
million,  up 23.8% from its  inaugural  year-end  asset total of $28.6  million.
Heritage's  net operating  profit for the 1997 was $209,000,  458.2% over 1996's
total.  Heritage's  asset growth and profit  performance has been  significantly
above  our  original  projection  for the start up  period  and,  in the case of
profitability,  substantially  above average for de-novo banks in the three year
old or less category.

In late 1997,  Heritage  began  construction,  after a five month delay,  of its
first branch banking center. The new center, which opened in January of 1998, is
located in Clark County,  at the corner of Utica  Sellersburg Road and Route 62.
The new center is positioned to serve the burgeoning  Clark Maritime  Center and
the growing Eastern Clark County Route 62, Jeffersonville  Charlestown corridor.
* Heritage  Financial Services adds full service  brokerage.  In 1997,  Heritage
Financial  Services,  our individual  financial and general retirement  planning
arm,  added full service  brokerage as yet another  service to its  portfolio of
special financial service products. Heritage brokerage services are provided
through AAG Securities.

Heritage  Financial  Services  draws its client base from  Community Bank Shares
banking affiliates and Southern Indiana businesses and professionals.  HFS ended
1997 with over  $22,000,000  in assets under  management on behalf of a customer
base of over 1100 clients.

For financial or retirement  planning or employee  retirement  plans, as well as
401k's, a wide range of deferred  variable and fixed term annuities,  the mutual
fund of your choice,  IRA's, and more, for your future, think Heritage Financial
Services.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Note: For comparison  purposes,  1996's  consolidated  income of $1,614,000 was
impacted  by two  adjustments:  an after tax charge of  $678,000  for a one time
industry wide special  deposit  insurance  assessment  for the "SAIF"  insurance
fund, and a positive  adjustment to earnings from a non-recurring  change in our
deferred  income  tax  account  resultant  from  a 1996  tax  law  change.  1996
consolidated earnings, exclusive of both adjustments would have been $2,023,000,
versus the $1,614,000  that was reported  under  generally  accepted  accounting
practices.  The area in black on all graphs  reflects  the impact of the deposit
insurance assessment and /or the deferred income tax change.

lot of  information,  including  updated  quotes on Community Bank Shares' stock

is up, the address will be www.heritagebanksi.com.

Community  Bank Shares of Indiana,  Inc. and NCF Financial  Corp.  to merge.  On
December 17, 1997, NCF Financial  Corporation of Bardstown,  Kentucky,  signed a
definitive merger agreement with Community Bank Shares.

The agreement, subject to ratification by both our shareholders and those of NCF
Financial,  requires  approval  by the  Federal  Reserve  Bank and the  State of
Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions.  Upon consummation of the merger,
which is planned for early May of 1998,  NCF Financial will merge into Community
Bank Shares and NCF Financial's banking affiliate,  NCF Bank of Bardstown,  will
become Community Bank Shares' third banking affiliate. NCF Bank will continue to
be locally managed, with its own president and board of directors.

We are pleased to announce that, on February 13, 1998, the Federal  Reserve Bank
of St. Louis notified us that our merger  application  had been approved and, on
March 2, 1998,  the Kentucky  Department of Financial  Institutions  notified us
that they had approved the merger application that had been filed with them.

We look forward to welcoming NCF's employees,  directors,  and shareholders into
the Community Bank Shares family.

We would like to thank all of our fellow team members, at Community Bank Shares,
Community  Bank of Southern  Indiana,  Heritage  Bank of Southern  Indiana,  and
Heritage Financial Services. It is their continued dedication to professionalism
and  service  that  make  Community  Bank  Shares a great  company  to own,  and
Community Bank,  Heritage Bank, and Heritage  Financial Services great places to
do business.
          
The enthusiasm,  involvement,  and everyday support of our fellow members of the
board of  directors  at Community  Bank Shares and our partner  affiliate  banks
define,  every day, the meaning of quality community  banking.  We want to thank
this dedicated group of individuals for their time and effort expended on behalf
of our employees, customers, and shareholders.

And,  to  you,  our  fellow   shareholders,   your  ongoing  support  is  always
appreciated,  and your  comments  and  suggestions  are always  welcome.  But, a
reminder, banking with a Community Bank Shares bank "pays you dividends."

Sincerely,

COMMUNITY BANK SHARES

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

GENERAL

The operating results of the Company depend primarily upon the subsidiary Banks'
net interest  income,  which is determined by the  difference  between  interest
income on interest earning assets, principally loans, mortgage-backed securities
and investment securities, and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities,
which  principally  consist  of  deposits,  retail  repurchase  agreements,  and
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of  Indianapolis.  The affiliate Banks'
net income also is affected by its  provision  for loan  losses,  as well as the
level of its non-interest income, including loan fees and service charges, gains
on sales of loan and securities,  deposit account  service  charges,  commission
income and other miscellaneous  income, and its non-interest  expenses,  such as
compensation and benefits,  occupancy and equipment  expense,  deposit insurance
premiums and miscellaneous other expenses, and income tax expense.


CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

GENERAL.  At December 31, 1997, the Company's  assets which are primarily  those
assets of the affiliate  Banks  totaled  $254.1  million,  as compared to $237.6
million and $215.7  million at December  31, 1996 and 1995  respectively.  Total
assets  increased by $16.5  million or 6.9 % from  December 31, 1996 to December
31, 1997 and by $21.8  million or 10.1% from  December  31, 1995 to December 31,
1996. The growth rate of the Company in 1996 was attributable to the acquisition
of over $28.5  million in assets by the  Heritage  Bank  affiliate in it's first
year of operations.

CASH AND INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS.   Cash and  interest-bearing  deposits with
banks amounted to $11.6 million, $11.0 million and $17.3 million at December 31,
1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Short term liquidity remained steady between
1997 and 1996,  and were  reduced by $6.3 million from 1995 to 1996 by utilizing
Federal Home Loan Bank  advances for any short term  funding  needs.  

INVESTMENT SECURITIES.   Investment  securities (including investment securities
classified  as available  for sale)  consist  primarily of U.S.  Government  and
agency  obligations  and  totaled to $66.7  million,  $56.8  million,  and $38.7
million at December  31,  1997,  1996,  1995  respectively.  Total  outstandings
increased by $9.9 million or 17.4%,  in 1997 and $18.2  million or 46.9% in 1996
which reflected  management's decision to increase the base of intermediate term
liquidity for use in funding high quality loans in the future.

MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES.  Mortgage-backed securities, which consist primarily
of securities  which are insured or guaranteed by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation  (FHLMC),  the Federal National Mortgage  Association  (FNMA) or the
Government National Mortgage  Association  (GNMA),  decreased by $1.5 million to
$24.3 million  during the twelve months ended December 31, 1997 and decreased by
$9.2 million to $25.8  million  during the year ended  December  31,  1996.  The
decline  in  outstanding  balances  in 1997 is a direct  result of  management's
intent  to shift  the  asset mix from  mortgage-backed  securities  into  higher
yielding assets in the loan portfolio.

LOANS RECEIVABLE.  Loans Receivable  (including loans held for sale) amounted to
$143.8  million at December  31, 1997,  $136.8  million at December 31, 1996 and
$118.5 million at December 31, 1995. Increases of $7.0 million in 1997 and $18.4
million in 1996  resulted as the Company  continued to focus on  increasing  the
yield on earning  assets by  originating  and retaining  high quality  mortgage,
consumer and commercial/76 business loans.


ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES.  At December 31, 1997,  the  Company's  allowance for
loan losses as required by regulation for the affiliate Banks totaled  $837,000,
an increase of $181,000  from the level  maintained  at December  31, 1996 and a
$236,000  increase  from the level  maintained at December 31, 1995. At December
31, 1997, the Company's  allowance  represented .58% of the total loan portfolio
(including loans classified as held for sale).

DEPOSITS.  Deposits  totaled $186.0 million at December 31, 1997, as compared to
$176.6  million at December 31, 1996,  and $168.1  million at December 31, 1995.
The affiliate Banks do not generally  engage in sporadic  increases or decreases
in  interest  rates paid or offer the  highest  rates  available  in its deposit
market  except upon  specific  occasions  when market  conditions  have  created
opportunities to attract longer term deposits.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES. Advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis amounted
to $27.0  million,  $23.0 million and $21.1 million at December 31, 1997,  1996,
and 1995  respectively.  The  increase in FHLB  advances  during  these  periods
reflected the attractive  rates offered on such advances as well as management's
strategy to occasionally fund specific  investments with FHLB advances which are
matched to the term of such investments at a positive interest rate spread.  The
weighted average rate on FHLB advances  amounted to 5.76%,  5.75%, and 5. 68% at
December 31, 1997,  1996,  and 1995. The Banks use FHLB advances to fund lending
and investment activities,  withdrawals from deposit accounts and other ordinary
course of business activities.

STOCKHOLDERS'  EQUITY.  Stockholders'  equity  increased  from $25.4  million at
December 31, 1995 to $ 26.1 million at December 31, 1996, and further  increased
to $27.7 million at December 31, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL.  The earnings of the Company depend  primarily on net interest  income.
Net  interest  income  is a  function  of  interest  rate  spread,  which is the
difference  between the average yield earned on interest  earning assets and the
average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities,  as well as a function of the
average  balance of interest  earning  assets as  compared  to interest  bearing
liabilities.

* See note at bottom of page 4.

The Company reported net income of $2.4 million,  $1.6 million, and $1.9 million
for the years  ended  December  31,  1997,  1996,  and 1995,  respectively.  Net
interest  income has continued to improve each year as the asset and deposit mix
has  changed  to  that  of a  traditional  retail  bank  structure  with  higher
concentrations  of consumer and small business loans on the asset side and lower
cost transaction accounts on the liability side of the balance sheet. In 1996, a
one time special assessment of $1.1 million was paid to the Savings  Association
Insurance  Fund (SAIF) as required by all SAIF insured  financial  institutions.
The  after  tax  impact  of  this  charge  reduced  earnings  for  the  year  by
approximately $678,000.

INTEREST INCOME.   The weighted  average  yield on interest  earning  assets has
improved from 7.09% for the year 1995 to 7.54% at year end 1997. Interest income
during this period grew from $14.1  million to $16.2 million to $18.1 million in
1995,  1996, and 1997  respectively.  Both the volume and yield  increases are a
result of the shift in the asset mix from investments to high quality loans.

INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Controlling  the cost of our  sources of funds is one of the
Company's  primary  objectives.  The weighted  average rate paid on all interest
bearing liabilities has grown from 4.60% in 1995 to 4.81% in 1997. However,  the
trend of the overall  cost of funds by year-end  1997 was down.  At December 31,
1997,  the  average  cost of funds fell to 4.79%.  Through  the  utilization  of
strategic  pricing and funding  alternatives  provided by the Federal  Home Loan
Bank Advance program, interest expense has been minimized after consideration of
the interest rate risk and balance sheet matching implications.

NET INTEREST INCOME.   Net interest  income  improved each year and totaled $7.5
million,  $6.7 million and $5.8 million for 1997, 1996, and 1995,  respectively.
The net yield has grown steadily during the past three years, growing from 2.94%
in 1995 to 3.05% in 1996. At the end of 1997, the net yield had grown to 3.14%.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to
bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level  considered  appropriate by
management  based on  historical  experience,  the  volume  and type of  lending
conducted by the affiliate  Banks, the status of past due principal and interest
payments,  general  economic  conditions and inherent credit risk related to the
collectability of the Banks' loan portfolio. During 1997, the allowance for loan
loss account was increased by $210,000, while an addition of $67,000 was applied
in 1996.


                                     11
<PAGE>
NON INTEREST INCOME.   The Company's  principal  sources of non interest  income
include loan fees recognized when loans are sold in the secondary  market,  loan
origination  fees,  loan  servicing  income on loans sold where the  Company has
retained  servicing,  miscellaneous fees charged for depository services offered
and commissions earned on the sale of alternative investments.  Steady growth in
total non  interest  income  from  $985,000  in 1995 to  $1,430,000  in 1997 has
occurred.  Over 84% of the sustained  increase in non interest  income  revenues
from  1995 to 1997 is  attributable  to  increases  in  loan  related  fees  and
commissions generated.

NON INTEREST EXPENSES.   Total  non  interest  expenses  in 1997  decreased  by
approximately  $906,000  from  1996,  and  increased  by  $2,083,000  in 1996 as
compared to 1995.  The  substantial  decrease  in expenses  from 1996 to 1997 is
attributable to a one time assessment of $1,123,000 on the deposits of Community
Bank of Southern Indiana levied by the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation to
re-capitalize the Savings Association  Insurance Fund (SAIF) to required levels.
Excluding this assessment, non interest expenses increased $217,000 from 1996 to
1997.  The  large  increase  from  1995  to  1996 is  attributable  to the  SAIF
assessment and over $950,000 in non-interest  expenses that were incurred by the
Heritage  Bank of Southern  Indiana  affiliate in 1996 during it's first year of
operations.
     
The principal  category of the Company's non interest  expenses is  compensation
and benefits, which increased by $446,000 or 17.1% during 1997and by $642,000 or
32.8% during 1996. The increase in 1997  compensation and benefits was primarily
attributable to two factors.  First, the Company  recognized  increased  expense
associated with the curtailment of its defined benefit pension plan. Second, new
employees were hired in the areas of: business services, marketing, and internal
audit.  The  majority  of the  1996  increase  occurred  as a direct  result  of
operations commencing at the Heritage Bank affiliate.

In 1997,  occupancy and equipment  expenses rose only 22,000,  or 4.4%. In 1996,
the Company  installed  and updated  computer  systems at the Heritage  Bank and
Community Bank affiliates and holding company support areas.  Although purchased
in 1995,  the Heritage  Bank  facility had a full year of occupancy  expenses in
1996. Because of these two situations,  occupancy and equipment expenses rose by
30.6% or approximately 110,000 in 1996.

The Company  experienced no losses on foreclosed  real estate in 1997,  1995, or
1996.

Continued  efforts to utilize  automation  and  electronic  methods of operation
resulted in an increase of 10.6% or $44,000 in data  processing  service expense
in 1997.  This  increase was less than the previous  year's  increase,  however,
which was impacted by the initial  systems  installation  at the  Heritage  Bank
affiliate.  The  data  processing  expenditure  increase  for 1996  amounted  to
$98,000, or 31.0%.

Other expenses including advertising,  postage, forms and supplies, professional
fees and supervisory  assessments  decreased by $36,000 in 1997 and increased by
$128,000 in 1996.

INCOME TAXES.  Federal and state income tax expense totaled  $1,513,000 in 1997,
and $652,092 in 1996.  The  effective  tax rates  amounted to 38.8% and 28.8% in
1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The lower tax rate in 1996 was  attributable to a
deferred  income  tax  credit  of  $213,000  due to a change  in the  method  of
accounting for the bad debt deduction.  Without this credit, 1996's tax rate was
38.2%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity  levels  are  adjusted  in order to meet  funding  needs  for  deposit
outflows,  payment of real estate taxes escrowed on mortgage loans, repayment of
borrowings,  loan commitments and to meet asset/liability  objectives. The Banks
primary sources of funds are deposits,  amortization of loan and mortgage backed
securities,  FHLB of Indianapolis advances,  maturities of investment securities
and other short term investments and funds from operations. While scheduled loan
and mortgage backed securities repayments are a relatively predictable source of
funds,  deposit  flows and loan  prepayments  are greatly  influenced by general
interest  rates,  economic  conditions  and  competition.  The Banks  manage the
pricing of their deposits to maintain a steady deposit balance.

The Banks' liquidity,  represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of
its operating,  investing and financing  activities.  The primary source of cash
was derived from financing activities.

Liquidity  management  is  both a daily  and  long  term  function  of  business
management.  If the Banks  require  funds beyond their  ability to generate them
internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of
Indianapolis which provides an additional source of funds. At December 31, 1997,
Community  Bank had  $27.0  million  in  outstanding  advances  from the FHLB of
Indianapolis.

As of December 31, 1997, the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation  categorized
the subsidiary Banks as well capitalized under the established  capital adequacy
guidelines.  Both affiliate Banks exceeded the required capital to risk weighted
assets,  Tier 1 capital to risk weighted  assets,  and Tier 1 capital to average
assets ratios.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The consolidated  financial statements of the Holding Company and notes thereto,
presented  elsewhere  herein,  have been prepared in accordance  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles,  which  requires 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
Banks' operations.  Unlike most industrial companies,  nearly all the assets and
liabilities  of the  Banks are  monetary.  As a result,  interest  rates  have a
greater impact on the Banks'  performances than do the effects of general levels
of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to
the same extent as the price of goods and services.

NO CHANGE OF ACCOUNTANTS

There has been no Current Report on Form 8-K filed within 24 months prior to the
date of the most recent financial  statements  reporting a change of accountants
and/or  reporting  disagreements  on  any  matter  of  accounting  principle  or
financial statement disclosure.

AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET

The  following  table sets forth certain  information  relating to the Company's
average  balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost
of liabilities for the periods indicated and the average yields earned and rates
paid.  Such yields and costs are  derived by  dividing  income or expense by the
average  balance  of  assets  or  liabilities,  respectively,  for  the  periods
presented.  Average  balances  are  computed  on daily  average  balances,  when
available.  Management  does  not  believe  that the use of  month-end  balances
instead of daily  average  balances  has caused any material  difference  in the
information presented.

PENDING MERGER

On December  17, 1997,  the Company  entered into an agreement to merge with NCF
Financial  Corporation  (NCF),  located in Bardstown,  Kentucky.  This agreement
calls for an exchange of 0.935  shares of the  Company's  common  stock for each
share of NCF common stock.  NCF is the parent company of NCF Bank and Trust Co.,
a  Kentucky  state-chartered  commercial  bank.  The  transaction  is subject to
regulatory  and  shareholder  approvals.  The  transaction  is  expected  to  be
completed in the second quarter of 1998. For further  information  regarding the
pending merger please see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company has  developed a plan of action to ensure that its  operational  and
financial  systems  will not be  adversely  affected  by  software  or  hardware
failures  caused  by the  inability  of such  software  and  hardware  to handle
calculations involving dates after December 31, 1999. While the Company believes
that it is doing everything  possible to ensure Year 2000  compliance,  it is to
some extent  dependent  upon vendor  cooperation.  The Company is requiring  its
computer  hardware and software  vendors to represent that their products are or
will be Year 2000  compliant.  At this time the Company  estimates  that it will
incur  $300,000 in expenses  related to Year 2000  compliance.  Any  hardware or
software  failures due to Year 2000  noncompliance  could result in  additional,
unestimable expenses to the Company. The Company does not internally program any
major operating system of the Company.

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Community Bank Shares of Indiana, Inc.
New Albany, Indiana

We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets of Community Bank
Shares of Indiana,  Inc. and  Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the related  consolidated  statements of income,  stockholders'  equity and cash
flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period ended  December 31, 1997.
These  consolidated  financial  statements are the  responsibility of the Bank'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
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable  assurance about whether the  consolidated  financial  statements are
free of material  misstatement.  An audit includes  examining,  on a test basis,
evidence  supporting the amounts and disclosures in the  consolidated  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  financial  position of Community  Bank
Shares of Indiana,  Inc. and  Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the  results of their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the years in
the  three-year  period ended  December 31, 1997 in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

COMMUNITY BANK SHARES OF INDIANA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995


(1)     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CONVERSIONS, PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

On April 7, 1995,  Community Bank of Southern  Indiana  (Community Bank) and its
parent,  Community  Bank  Shares,  M.H.C.,  a federal  mutual  holding  company,
completed  a  conversion  and  reorganization  whereby all stock of the bank was
issued to Community Bank Shares of Indiana,  Inc. (the Company),  a bank holding
company  formed in the  conversion.  Simultaneously,  the Company  completed  an
offering and sale of its common stock. The accompanying  consolidated  financial
statements  include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries,  Community
Bank and  Heritage  Bank of  Southern  Indiana  (Heritage  Bank).  All  material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Heritage  Bank,  a  newly  organized  state  chartered  commercial  bank,  began
operations on January 8, 1996.

On December  2, 1996,  Community  Bank  completed  a charter  conversion  from a
federal stock savings bank to a state chartered commercial bank.

In addition  to general  commercial  banking,  the bank  subsidiaries  engage in
mortgage  banking and the sale of annuity  investments  and mutual funds through
seven offices in southern Indiana.

STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

For purposes of the  statements of cash flows,  the Company has defined cash and
cash  equivalents  as those amounts  included in the balance sheet caption "Cash
and due from banks."

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.

Material  estimates that are  particularly  susceptible  to  significant  change
relate to the  determination  of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation
of real estate  acquired in connection  with  foreclosures or in satisfaction of
loans. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses and
foreclosed  real  estate,   management   obtains   independent   appraisals  for
significant properties.

SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

Securities  available for sale consist of debt securities not classified as held
to maturity and are stated at fair value.  Amortization of premium and accretion
of discount are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the
remaining period to maturity,  adjusted for anticipated prepayments.  Unrealized
gains and losses, net of tax, on securities available for sale are reported as a
separate  component of stockholders'  equity until realized.  Realized gains and
losses on the sale of  securities  available for sale are  determined  using the
specific identification method.

SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY

Debt  securities  for which the Company has the  positive  intent and ability to
hold to maturity are carried at cost,  adjusted for  amortization of premium and
accretion of discount  using the interest  method over the  remaining  period to
maturity, adjusted for anticipated prepayments.

(1 - continued)

MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE

Mortgage  loans  originated  and intended for sale in the  secondary  market are
carried  at the  lower  of  aggregate  cost or  approximate  market  value.  Net
unrealized  losses are  recognized  through a valuation  allowance by charges to
income.  Realized gains on sales of mortgage loans are included in  non-interest
income.

LOANS

Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances, less net deferred loan
fees and the allowance for loan losses.  The real estate loan portfolio consists
primarily of long-term loans, collateralized by first mortgages on single-family
and multi-family residential properties located in the southern Indiana area and
commercial real estate loans.  In addition to real estate loans,  the Bank makes
commercial loans and consumer loans.

Loan origination fees and certain direct costs of underwriting and closing loans
are  deferred  and the net  deferred  fees and  costs  are  recognized  over the
contractual  life of the  underlying  loans as an adjustment to interest  income
using the interest method.

The accrual of  interest  is  discontinued  on a loan when,  in the  judgment of
management,   the  probability  of  collection  of  interest  is  deemed  to  be
insufficient  to warrant  further  accrual.  The subsidiary  banks do not accrue
interest on loans past due 90 days or more except  when the  estimated  value of
collateral and collection efforts are deemed sufficient to ensure full recovery.
When a loan is placed on  non-accrual  status,  previously  accrued  but  unpaid
interest is deducted from interest income.

Interest  payments  received on nonaccrual  loans,  including  specific impaired
loans, are recorded as a reduction of the loan principal  balance,  and interest
income is only recorded once principal recovery is reasonably assured.

The allowance for loan losses is  maintained at a level which,  in  management's
judgment,  is adequate to absorb credit losses  inherent in the loan  portfolio.
The  amount  of  the  allowance  is  based  on  management's  evaluation  of the
collectibility  of the loan  portfolio,  including the nature of the  portfolio,
credit concentrations,  trends in historical loss experience, specified impaired
loans,  and economic  conditions.  Allowances  for impaired  loans are generally
determined  based on collateral  values or the present  value of estimated  cash
flows.  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.  Because of uncertainties  inherent in the estimation
process,  management's  estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio
and the related allowance may change in the near term.

LOAN SERVICING

Loan  servicing  fees are credited to income as monthly  principal  and interest
payments are  collected on  mortgages.  Costs of loan  servicing  are charged to
expense as incurred.

FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE

Foreclosed real estate held for sale is carried at the lower of fair value minus
estimated  costs to sell or cost.  Costs of holding  foreclosed  real estate are
charged to expense  in the  current  period,  except  for  significant  property
improvements,  which are capitalized.  Valuations are periodically  performed by
management and an allowance is established by a charge to  non-interest  expense
if the carrying value exceeds the fair value minus  estimated costs to sell. The
net income from operations of
foreclosed real estate held for sale is reported in non-interest income.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

The  Company  uses  the  straight  line and  accelerated  methods  of  computing
depreciation  at rates  adequate to amortize the cost of the  applicable  assets
over their useful lives. Items capitalized as part of premises and equipment are
valued at cost.  Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.  The cost and
related  accumulated  depreciation of assets sold, or otherwise disposed of, are
removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is included in earnings.

MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

Effective  January 1, 1996,  the Company  adopted SFAS No. 122,  Accounting  for
Mortgage  Servicing Rights.  This standard requires the recognition of rights to
service mortgage loans for others as separate  assets,  whether those rights are
acquired  through loan origination  activities or through  purchase  activities.
Additionally,   capitalized  mortgage  servicing  rights  must  be  periodically
assessed for  impairment  based on the fair value of those  rights.  Capitalized
mortgage  servicing  rights are amortized in proportion  to, and over the period
of, estimated net servicing income.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are provided  for the tax effects of the  transactions  reported in
the financial  statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes
related  primarily  to  differences  between  the  basis of  available  for sale
securities, allowance for loan losses, accumulated depreciation, prepaid pension
costs and accrued  income and expenses for financial  and income tax  reporting.
The  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  represent  the  future  tax return
consequences  of those  differences,  which will either be taxable or deductible
when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering all eligible  employees.
The Company's policy is to fund pension costs accrued. The Company also provides
a qualified salary reduction plan and an employee stock ownership plan available
to all eligible employees.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123,  Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation,
the Company will measure and recognize  compensation cost related to stock-based
compensation  plans using the intrinsic  value method and disclose the pro forma
effect of applying the fair value method contained in SFAS No. 123. Accordingly,
no compensation costs will be charged against earnings for stock options granted
under the Company's stock incentive plan.

ADVERTISING

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Net income per common share was calculated on the basis of the weighted  average
number of common shares  outstanding  during each year. For 1995, net income per
common share was  calculated as though the  conversion  and  reorganization  had
occurred on January 1, 1995.  Unallocated  shares held by the ESOP Trust are not
considered as outstanding for this purpose.

(2)     ACQUISITION

On December  17, 1997,  the Company  entered into an agreement to merge with NCF
Financial  Corporation  (NCF),  located  in  Bardstown,  Kentucky.  Terms of the
agreement call for an exchange of 0.935 shares of the Company's common stock for
each share of NCF common stock.  NCF is the parent company of NCF Bank and Trust
Co., a  state-chartered  commercial  bank. NCF had total assets of $35.6 million
and stockholders' equity of $12.3 million at December 31, 1997 and net income of
$276,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997. The  transaction is subject
to regulatory  and  shareholder  approvals.  The  transaction  is expected to be
completed in the second  quarter of 1998 and will be accounted  for as a pooling
of interests.

NCF reported net income of $327,661,  $397,790 and $316,553 for its fiscal years
ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The following represents the
unaudited pro forma condensed  combined balance sheet for the Company and NCF as

(3)     RESTRICTION ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

The subsidiary  banks are required to maintain reserve balances on hand and with
the Federal  Reserve  Bank which are  noninterest  bearing and  unavailable  for
investment. During 1997, the average balance maintained to meet this requirement
was approximately $1,048,000.

Proceeds from sales of debt securities  available for sale during the year ended
December  31, 1997 were  $4,396,492.  Gross gains of $19,896 and gross losses of
$5,206 were realized on those sales.

In  November,   1995,   the   Financial   Accounting   Standards   Board  issued
implementation guidance on accounting for certain investments in debt and equity
securities.  In  accordance  with this  guidance,  the  Company  reassessed  the
appropriateness  of the  classification  of all securities  held at December 31,
1995.  As  a  result  of  this   reassessment,   management   made  a  one  time
reclassification of certain federal agency and  mortgage-backed  securities from
the held to maturity category to the available for sale category.  The amortized
cost  of  securities   transferred  to  the  available  for  sale  category  was
$7,638,017.  The unrealized  gain  recognized on this transfer,  net of tax, was
$60,705.

The  subsidiary  banks  had no loans  specifically  classified  as  impaired  at
December 31, 1997 and 1996.

The subsidiary banks have entered into loan transactions with certain directors,
officers and their affiliates (related parties).  In management's  opinion, such
indebtedness  was incurred in the ordinary  course of business on  substantially
the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable  transactions with
other  persons and does not involve more than normal risk of  collectibility  or
present other unfavorable features.

(9)     BENEFIT PLANS

DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN:

The  Company has a defined  benefit  pension  plan  covering  substantially  all
employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employees' highest
average of total  compensation  for five  consecutive  years of employment.  The
funding policy is to contribute annually at least the minimum amount required by
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  Contributions are intended
to  provide  not only for  benefits  attributed  to service to date but also for
those expected to be earned in the future.  Contributions of $50,723 and $65,000
were  made to the  plan  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  1996  and  1995,
respectively. No contribution was made to the plan for 1997.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN:

The Company has  established a leveraged  employee  stock  ownership plan (ESOP)
covering  substantially  all  employees.  The ESOP Trust has acquired  shares of
company  common stock  financed by term loans with the Company.  These  employer
loans and the related  interest  income are not  recognized in the  consolidated
financial statements as the debt is serviced from Company  contributions and all
dividends  on shares  held by the ESOP  Trust.  Dividends  payable on  allocated
shares are  charged to retained  earnings  and are  satisfied  by the release of
shares to participant accounts.  Dividends payable on unallocated shares are not
considered  dividends for financial reporting purposes.  Shares held by the ESOP
Trust are allocated to  participant  accounts  based on the ratio of the current
year principal and interest payments to the total of the current year and future
years principal and interest to be paid on the employer loans.

Compensation  expense is recognized  in the  consolidated  financial  statements
based on the average  fair value of shares  allocated  to  participant  accounts
during  the  year  with  a  corresponding   credit  to   stockholders'   equity.
Compensation  expense  recognized  for 1997 and 1996  amounted  to  $18,448  and
$15,450, respectively.

plan for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

(10)    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

In 1997, the Company  adopted a stock  incentive plan (the "Plan") that provides
for the granting of incentive stock options,  nonqualified stock options,  stock
appreciation  rights and performance  share awards. A total of 198,372 shares of
common stock are available for grant under the Plan at December 31, 1997. Awards
under the Plan are available for grant to directors and key employees.

STOCK OPTIONS:

Under the Plan, incentive and nonqualified stock options are granted at exercise
prices not less than the fair  market  value of the common  stock on the date of
grant. All options granted under the Plan shall become vested and exercisable at
the rate  determined  by the Board of  Directors  at the date of grant.  Options
granted  under the Plan  expire not more than ten years after the date of grant.
Payment  of the  option  price may be in cash or shares of common  stock at fair
market  value on the  exercise  date.  Non-employee  directors  are  eligible to
receive only  nonqualified  stock options.  At December 31, 1997, no options had
been granted under the Plan.

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS:

The Plan  provides  for the  grant of stock  appreciation  rights  to  optionees
whereby an optionee may  surrender  any  exercisable  stock  option,  or portion
thereof, in return for payment in cash and/or common stock at fair market value.
Stock  appreciation  rights  relating to incentive stock options must be granted
concurrently  with  the  incentive  stock  options.  Stock  appreciation  rights
relating to  nonqualified  stock  options may be granted  concurrently  with the
option or any time  thereafter  which is prior to the exercise or  expiration of
such options.  Compensation  cost will be recognized each year  representing the
appreciation  in the value of such  rights over the periods in which they become
exercisable.

PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS:

Pursuant  to the  Plan,  the  company  may  grant  performance  share  awards to
employees  for up to 20,000  shares of common  stock.  The level of  performance
shares  eventually  distributed is contingent  upon the  achievement of specific
performance criteria within a specified award period set at the grant date.

The compensation  cost  attributable to these awards is based on the fair market
value of the shares distributed at the end of the specified  performance period.
In lieu of shares of common stock,  the Company may distribute cash in an amount
equal to the fair market value of the common stock award. The compensation  cost
is recognized over the specified  performance  period.  At December 31, 1997, no
awards had been granted.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995

(11 - continued)

Prior to January 1, 1996,  Community Bank was permitted by the Internal  Revenue
Code to deduct from taxable  income an annual  addition to a statutory  bad debt
reserve subject to certain  limitations.  Retained earnings at December 31, 1997
includes approximately $4,291,000 of cumulative deductions for which no deferred
federal income tax liability has been recorded.  Reduction of these reserves for
purposes other than tax bad debt losses or adjustments arising from carryback of
net operating  losses would create  income for tax purposes  subject to the then
current  corporate income tax rate. The unrecorded  deferred  liability on these
amounts was approximately $1,459,000 at December 31, 1997.

Recently enacted federal  legislation  repealed the reserve method of accounting
for bad debts by qualified  thrift  institutions  for tax years  beginning after
December  31,  1996.  As a  result,  Community  Bank  will no  longer be able to
calculate  the annual  addition  to the  statutory  bad debt  reserve  using the
percentage-of-taxable-income method. Instead, Community Bank will be required to
compute its federal tax bad debt deduction  based on actual loss experience over
a period of years.  The  legislation  requires  Community Bank to recapture into
taxable income over a six-year  period its post-1987  additions to the statutory
bad debt reserve,  thereby generating additional tax liability.  At December 31,
1997, the remaining balance of the post-1987 reserves totaled $143,977 for which
a deferred tax liability of $48,952 has been recorded.

The  legislation  also  provides  that  Community  Bank will not be  required to
recapture  its  pre-1988  statutory  bad debt  reserves if it ceases to meet the
qualifying thrift  definitional  tests and if the Bank continues to qualify as a
"bank" under existing provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

(12)    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND DIVIDENDS

The dividends  which the subsidiary  banks may pay to the Company are subject to
various  legal and  regulatory  restrictions.  At December  31,  1996,  retained
earnings  of  Community  Bank  available  for the payment of  dividends  without
approval  by the  state  regulatory  authority  were  approximately  $2,026,000.
Heritage Bank does not intend to pay  dividends  during its first three years of
operations.

On  April  7,  1995,  upon  completion  of the  conversion  and  reorganization,
Community  Bank  established  a  liquidation  account  in an amount  equal to 51
percent of stockholders' equity at September 30, 1994 totaling  $7,114,284.  The
liquidation  account will be maintained  for the benefit of depositors as of the
September  30,  1994   eligibility   record  date  (or  the  December  31,  1994
supplemental  eligibility  record date) who maintain their deposits in Community
Bank after conversion. In the event of complete liquidation, and only in such an
event,  each  eligible  depositor  will be  entitled  to  receive a  liquidation
distribution  from the liquidation  account in the  proportionate  amount of the
then  current  adjusted  balance  for  deposits  held,  before  any  liquidation
distribution  may be made  with  respect  to the  stockholders.  Except  for the
repurchase of stock and payment of dividends by Community Bank, the existence of
the  liquidation  account does not restrict the use or  application  of retained
earnings of Community Bank.

(13)    REGULATORY MATTERS

The  Company and its  subsidiaries  are  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 Company's  financial  statements.  Under capital
adequacy  guidelines and the regulatory  framework for prompt corrective action,
the Company must meet  specific  capital  guidelines  that involve  quantitative
measures of the assets,  liabilities,  and  certain  off-balance-sheet  items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Company's capital amounts
and classification are also subject to quantitative  judgments by the regulators
about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation to ensure  capital  adequacy
require the Company and its  subsidiaries to maintain minimum amounts and ratios
(set forth in the table  below) of total and Tier I capital  (as  defined in the
regulations)  to  risk-weighted  assets (as defined),  and of Tier I capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31,
1997,  that  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries   meet  all  capital  adequacy
requirements to which it is subject.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995

(13 - continued)

As of December 31, 1997, the most recent  notification  from the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation categorized the subsidiary banks as well capitalized under
the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized, the subsidiary banks must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based,  and Tier I leverage  ratios as set forth in the table below.  There
are no conditions or events since that  notification  that  management  believes
have changed the institutions' categories.

The  actual  capital  amounts  and ratios are also  presented  in the table.  No
amounts were deducted from capital for interest-rate risk in either year.

(14)    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business,  there are outstanding various commitments and
contingent  liabilities,  such as commitments to extend credit and legal claims,
which are not reflected in the financial statements.

During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company began construction of a new
main office facility and a branch facility. The estimated cost to complete these
facilities was approximately $4,035,000 at December 31, 1997.

The following is a summary of the  commitments  to extend credit at December 31,

      Total commitments to extend credit ...........                                                           $28,481,415
</TABLE>

(15)    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

The subsidiary banks are party to financial  instruments with  off-balance-sheet
risk in the  normal  course  of  business  to meet  the  financing  needs of its
customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and
standby  letters of  credit.  These  instruments  involve,  to varying  degrees,
elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in
the balance sheet.

The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to
the financial  instruments  for commitments to extend credit and standby letters
of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments
(see Note 14).  The  subsidiary  banks use the same  credit  policies  in making
commitments  and  conditional   obligations  as  it  does  for  on-balance-sheet
instruments.

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  subsidiary  banks  evaluate  each
customer's  creditworthiness  on a  case-by-case  basis.  The amount and type of
collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, varies and is
based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Standby letters of credit are conditional  commitments  issued by the subsidiary
banks to  guarantee  the  performance  of a customer to a third  party.  Standby
letters of credit  generally have fixed  expiration  dates or other  termination
clauses and may require  payment of a fee.  The credit risk  involved in issuing
letters of credit is  essentially  the same as that  involved in extending  loan
facilities to customers. The policy for obtaining collateral,  and the nature of
such collateral,  is essentially the same as that involved in making commitments
to extend credit.

The  subsidiary  banks  have not  been  required  to  perform  on any  financial
guarantees and have not incurred any losses on their commitments during the past
three years.

</TABLE>
The following  methods and  assumptions  were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial  instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that
value:

CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

For  short-term  investments,  including  cash and due from  banks and  interest
bearing  deposits with banks,  the carrying  amount is a reasonable  estimate of
fair value.

DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES

For debt securities,  including mortgage-backed  securities, the fair values are
based on  quoted  market  prices.  For  restricted  equity  securities  held for
investment, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE

For  mortgage  loans held for sale,  the fair  values are based on market  price
quotations from dealers.

LOANS RECEIVABLE

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting  the future cash flows using
the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar
credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

DEPOSITS

The fair  value of demand  deposits,  savings  accounts,  money  market  deposit
accounts and other  transaction  accounts is the amount payable on demand at the
balance sheet date. The fair value of fixed-maturity  certificates of deposit is
estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered
for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

(16 - continued)

BORROWED FUNDS

The fair value of retail  repurchase  agreements  is the  amount  payable at the
balance sheet date.

The  fair  value of  advances  from  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank is  estimated  by
discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans
with the same remaining maturities could be obtained.

COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT

The majority of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit would
result in loans with a market  rate of  interest  if  funded.  The fair value of
these  commitments are the fees that would be charged to customers to enter into
similar  agreements.  For  fixed  rate loan  commitments,  the fair  value  also
considers  the  difference  between  current  levels of  interest  rates and the
committed rates.

(19)    FUTURE IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL  ASSETS AND  EXTINGUISHMENTS
OF LIABILITIES


In June 1996,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No. 125,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial  Assets and  Extinguishments
of Liabilities.  The Statement provides consistent  standards for distinguishing
transfers of  financial  assets that are sales from  transfers  that are secured
borrowings based on a control-oriented  "financial-components"  approach.  Under
this approach,  after a transfer of financial  assets,  an entity recognizes the
financial  and  servicing  assets it controls and  liabilities  it has incurred,
derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered and derecognizes
liabilities when extinguished.  The provisions of SFAS No. 125 are effective for
transactions occurring after December 31, 1996, except those provisions relating
to repurchase agreements, securities lending, and other similar transactions and
pledged  collateral,  which have been delayed  until after  December 31, 1997 by
SFAS No.  127,  Deferral of the  Effective  Date of Certain  Provisions  of FASB
Statement No. 125, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 125. The adoption of these
statements  has  no  material  impact  on  financial   position  or  results  of
operations.
