ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

General

         Community  Bank Shares of Indiana,  Inc.  (the Company) is a multi-bank
holding company headquartered in New Albany, Indiana. The Company's wholly-owned
banking  subsidiaries  are  Community  Bank  of  Southern  Indiana  (Community),
Heritage  Bank of Southern  Indiana  (Heritage),  and NCF Bank and Trust Company
(NCF Bank).  Community,  Heritage,  and NCF are state-chartered stock commercial
banks  headquartered  in  New  Albany,  Indiana,  Jeffersonville,  Indiana,  and
Bardstown, Kentucky,  respectively.  Community and Heritage are regulated by the
Indiana  Department of Financial  Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.  NCF Bank is  regulated  by the  Kentucky  Department  of Financial
Institutions and the Federal Deposit 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 two banking offices in Jeffersonville,  Indiana. Heritage joined the
Federal Home Loan Bank system in 1998.

         On May 6, 1998, the Company  completed its  acquisition of NCF Bank and
Trust  (NCF Bank)  located  in  Bardstown,  Kentucky  through a merger  with NCF
Financial  Corporation  (NCF). NCF Bank, a state chartered  commercial bank with
total assets of $37.0  million and $35.6 million at May 6, 1998 and December 31,
1997, respectively,  became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company through the
exchange of 740,974 shares of the Company's common stock for all the outstanding
common  stock  of  NCF.  The  acquisition  was  accounted  for as a  pooling  of
interests.

         The  Company  had total  assets of $331.9  million,  total  deposits of
$212.9  million,  and  stockholders'  equity of $41.4 million as of December 31,
1998.  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.

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,
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 expenses; and (4) broadening the scope of services offered
to its customers.

         The  Company's  three  subsidiaries  are  community-oriented  financial
institutions  offering a variety of  financial  services to their  local  market
areas.  The  subsidiaries  are engaged  primarily in the business of  attracting
deposits  from the general  public and using such funds to 1) originate  15- and
30-year fixed- and  adjustable-rate  ("ARM")  mortgage loans for the purchase of
single-family  homes  in Floyd  and  Clark  Counties,  Indiana,  Nelson  County,
Kentucky,  and,  to a lesser  extent,  surrounding  counties,  and 2)  originate
secured and unsecured  business  loans of various terms to local  businesses and
professional organizations.  Depending on each subsidiary's liquidity,  interest
rate risk and balance sheet positions,  fixed-rate mortgage loans are originated
either for inclusion in the retained loan portfolio or for sale in the secondary
market,  while  ARM  loans  are  originated  primarily  for  retention  in  each
subsidiary's  loan portfolio.  To a lesser extent,  the  subsidiaries  make home
equity loans secured by the  borrower's  principal  residence and other types of
consumer loans such as auto loans. Although Community holds a

                                        3
<PAGE>
small amount of multi-family residential real estate loans in its portfolio, the
Company does not  emphasize  the  origination  of such loans.  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  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,  the formation of a second
subsidiary  bank,  Heritage  Bank of  Southern  Indiana,  which in  addition  to
traditional  banking  services sells  alternative  financial  products,  and the
acquisition of NCF Bank and Trust which allowed for expansion into Kentucky.

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  secondary  market is Nelson  County,  which is located
approximately 40 miles south east of Louisville, Kentucky. The population of the
Company's secondary market area is approximately 35,000. Surrounding counties of
the Company's Secondary Market include Spencer,  Anderson,  Hardin,  Washington,
Marion, Larue, and Bullitt counties,  which together have a population in excess
of 135,000.  The Company's  headquarters are in New Albany,  Indiana,  a city of
45,000 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, 1998,  the  Company's  net portfolio of loans
receivable (excluding loans classified as held for sale) totaled $199.6 million,
representing approximately 60.1% 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.)
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 amount of commercial business loans as a percent of its total loan
portfolio.

         The Company continues to actively originate  fixed-rate mortgage loans,
generally with terms to maturity of between 15- to 30- year 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, 1998, the
Company had $101.5 million, or 50.9 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  continuously  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,  can 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 for  significantly  shorter  periods than their  contractual
terms because borrowers may refinance or prepay loans at their option.

         The Company's ARM loans adjust  annually with interest rate  adjustment
limitations of two percentage points per year and six percentage points over the
life of the loan.  The  Company  also makes ARM loans with  interest  rates that
adjust every one,  three or five years.  The interest rate on ARM loans is based
on the one-year,  three-year or five-year U.S.  Treasury Constant Maturity Index
commensurate  with the applicable like term mortgage plus 275 basis points.  The
Company's  policy  is to  qualify  borrowers  for ARM  loans  based on the fully
indexed rate of the ARM loan.  That is, a borrower is qualified  for an ARM loan
by  evaluating  the  borrower's  ability to service the loan at an interest rate
equal to the maximum annual rate increase added to the current index.  ARM loans
totaled  $70.5  million,  or 35.3 percent of the Bank's total loan  portfolio at
December 31, 1998.

         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,  $8.1  million was still  outstanding  as of December 31,
1998.  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

                                        9
<PAGE>
loans  with  30-year  terms,  and to a lesser  extent,  one-year  ARM loans with
15-year terms.  During this same period, the Company purchased for its portfolio
approximately  $15.0 million of  one-to-four  family  mortgage  loans in several
packages from various  savings  associations  and mortgages  companies.  Of this
original $15  million,  $4.8  million was still  outstanding  as of December 31,
1998.  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.

         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, 1998, the
Company had $578,000 or 0.3 percent of its total gross loan  portfolio  invested
in interim  construction  loans. The Company makes construction loans to private
individuals  for the purpose of  constructing  a personal  residence or to local
real estate builders and developers.  Construction loans generally are made with
either  adjustable  or fixed-rate  terms of up to six months.  Loan proceeds are
disbursed in increments as construction  progresses and as inspections  warrant.
Construction  loans are structured to be converted to permanent loans originated
by the Company at the end of the  construction  period or to be terminated  upon
receipt of permanent financing from another financial institution.

         Commercial  Real Estate Loans.  Loans secured by commercial real estate
constituted approximately $35.4 million, or 17.8 percent, of the Company's total
net loan portfolio at December 31, 1998. 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.  The  Company  has  increased  its
origination of multi-family residential or commercial real estate loans over the
last few years, but feels that it is well protected against the increased credit
risk associated with these loans through its underwriting  standards of imposing
stringent loan-to-value ratios, requiring conservative debt coverage ratios, and
continually monitoring 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  $48.1 million or 24.1
percent of the  Company's  loan  portfolio of December  31,  1998.  This type of
commercial  loan has been  offered at both  variable  rates and fixed rates with
balloon payments required at maturity.

                                       10
<PAGE>
         The Company has increased its origination of commercial  business loans
over the last few years.  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, 1998, consumer loans totaled $14.0 million or
7.0  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 credit
are  generally  secured by the  borrower's  principal  residence  and a personal
guarantee.  At December 31, 1998,  equity lines of credit totaled $ 6.8 million,
or 48.4 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
with specified  terms and conditions 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, 1998, the Company
had  commitments to originate  loans of $4.9 million,  as well as commitments to
fund the undisbursed  portion of  construction  loans in process of $1.8 million
and  commitments  to fund  commercial  and  personal  lines of  credit  of $34.8
million.

         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  issued SFAS No. 91 ") in December 1986 that
deals with 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 in income immediately upon the sale of
the related  loan. At December 31, 1998,  the Company had $3,000 of  outstanding
net deferred loan fees and costs.

                                       11
<PAGE>
         In addition to loan  origination  fees, the Company also receives other
fees and  service  charges  that  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 $203,000,  $214,000,  and $220,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, 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  $3.6 million,  $690,000,  and $1.3 million at
December 31, 1998, for Community Bank, Heritage Bank, and NCF 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 in 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
costs 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, 1998, the Company owns $200,000 in 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, 1998,
the Company had no  restructured  loans within the meaning of SFAS No. 15. It is
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 that have been established to
recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities.  When an insured
institution  classifies  problem  assets as  "loss,"  it is  required  either to
establish an allowance for losses equal to 100% of the amount of the assets,  or
charge off the  classified  asset.  The amount of its  valuation  allowances  is
subject to review by the FDIC,  which can order the  establishment of additional
general  loss  allowances.  The Banks  regularly  review the loan  portfolio  to
determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable
regulations.

         At December 31, 1998, the Banks had $1.7 million  classified as special
mention  assets,   $636,000  classified  as  substandard  assets,  and  $158,000
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.

forth  information  with respect to the Bank's  allowance for loan losses at the

Investment Activities

         In recent years,  the Company has sought to increase the  percentage of
its assets invested in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or
an agency thereof.  The emphasis on the Company's  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.

         Each subsidiary  banks' investment  securities  portfolio is managed by
the president of each bank 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  Company's  Asset  and  Liability  Committee.  The
Company's  investment  securities currently consist primarily of U.S. agency and
government securities.

Liquidity  levels may be  increased or  decreased  depending  upon the yields on
available  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 yields 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
each banks' loan origination and other activities.

Sources of Funds

         General.  The major source of funds for the Company is  dividends  from
its subsidiary 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,  continuing 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  $21.4  million,  or 10.1  percent of the  Company's  total  deposit
portfolio at December 31, 1998.  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.

The table below presents the average balance, interest expense, and average rate
paid by period for each major deposit category.

         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 Federal Home Loan
Banks (FHLB) of Indianapolis  and Cincinnati as well as 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  mortgage  loans,  the  outstanding  balance of U.S.  Government and
Agency securities (including FHLMC, FNMA, and GNMA mortgage-backed  securities),
and the outstanding  balance of securities  representing a whole interest in 1-4
family  residential  mortgage  loans.  At December 31, 1998, the Banks had $56.0
million in advances outstanding from the FHLB's of Indianapolis and Cincinnati.

         The FHLB system  functions as a central  reserve bank providing  credit
for the Banks and other member financial institutions.  All members are required
to own capital stock in the FHLB and are 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, 1998,  the Banks had $19.5  million of
retail repurchase agreements outstanding. In the event of a need for funds in an
overnight  capacity,  Community Bank maintains a $2.0 million line of credit and
Heritage maintains a $500,000 line of credit with the FHLB of Indianapolis,  and
NCF maintains a $500,000 line of credit with the FHLB of Cincinnati.

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 other commercial banks, 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 in
conjunction with a wide range of financial services.

         The competition for real estate and other loans comes  principally from
other commercial  banks,  mortgage banking  companies and 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,  Heritage, and NCF Bank
are subject to examination, supervision and extensive regulation by the FDIC and
their  respective  Departments of Financial  Institutions  (DFI).  Community and
Heritage  are  members of and own stock in the FHLB of  Indianapolis,  while NCF
Bank is a  member  of and  owns  stock  in the  FHLB  of  Cincinnati.  The  FHLB
institutions located in Indianapolis and Cincinnati are

                                       19
<PAGE>
each one of the twelve  regional  banks in the  Federal  Home Loan Bank  System.
Community, Heritage, and NCF Bank are also subject to regulation by the Board of
Governors of the Federal  Reserve System (the "Federal  Reserve  Board"),  which
governs reserves to be maintained  against deposits and regulates  certain other
matters.

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

         Federal   Regulation  of  Commercial  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.  In the course of
these  examinations  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 to their
fair market values 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 such banks are 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 that, 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
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, 1998
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

                                       20
<PAGE>
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, 1998, the Company met all capital adequacy
requirements to which it is subject.

         The  following  table  sets forth the  Company's  capital  position  at
December 31, 1998, as compared to the minimum capital requirements.

         The FDIC generally is authorized to take  enforcement  action against a
financial institution that fails to meet its capital  requirements;  such 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," 

                                       21
<PAGE>
(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, 1998, the Company and each of the
subsidiary  Banks  was  deemed   well-capitalized  for  purposes  of  the  above
regulations.

         Federal Home Loan Bank System.  Community and Heritage are both members
of the FHLB of Indianapolis,  and NCF is a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati. The
FHLB of Indianapolis  and the FHLB of Cincinnati are each 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 members of the FHLB Banking  system,  Community,  Heritage,  and NCF
Bank are 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, 1998,  $2.4 million,
$429,000,  and $492,000 of FHLB stock were outstanding for Community,  Heritage,
and NCF Bank,  respectively,  which was in compliance with this requirement.  In
past years,  Community,  Heritage,  and NCF Bank have 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,  1998,  the Company had $56 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). Deposits of Community and
NCF Bank are insured by the Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund (SAIF),  while
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 both administered and managed by the FDIC. As insurer,  the FDIC
is authorized to conduct  examinations  of and to require  reporting by SAIF and
BIF insured  institutions.  It also may  prohibit any insured  institution  from
engaging in any activity the FDIC  determines  by  regulation or order to pose a
serious  threat to either  fund.  The FDIC also has the  authority  to  initiate
enforcement  actions against financial  institutions.  The annual assessment for
deposit  insurance  is based on a  risk-related  premium  system.  Each  insured
institution  is  assigned  to one of three  capital  groups,  well  capitalized,
adequately  capitalized  or  under  capitalized.   Within  each  capital  group,
institutions are assigned to one of three subgroups (A, B, or C) on the basis of
supervisory  evaluations by the institution's  primary federal supervisor and if
applicable,  state  supervisor.  Assignment to one of the three capital  groups,
coupled with assignment to one of three  supervisory  subgroups,  will determine
which  of the nine  risk  classifications  is  appropriate  for an  institution.
Institutions  are  assessed   insurance  rates  based  on  their  assigned  risk
classifications.  The well capitalized,  subgroup "A" category  institutions are
assessed the lowest  insurance rate,  while  institutions  assigned to the under
capitalized

                                       22
<PAGE>
subgroup "C" category are assessed the highest  insurance  rate.  As of December
31, 1998 all banks were assigned to the well-capitalized, subgroup "A" category.
During 1998,  Community Bank paid an annual insurance rate of 6.1 cents per $100
of deposits,  Heritage Bank paid an annual insurance rate of 1.22 cents per $100
of  deposits,  while NCF Bank paid an annual  insurance  rate of $2.98 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.  The aggregate one-time assessment paid by Community Bank and NCF Bank
amounted to $1.3 million with an after tax impact of approximately $779,000.

         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, 1998,  no reserves  were
required to be  maintained  on the first $4.9 million of  transaction  accounts,
reserves of 3% were required to be maintained  against the next $41.6 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 non-interest-bearing  account at a Federal Reserve Bank,
the effect of this reserve  requirement  is to reduce an  institution's  earning
assets.

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

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

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

         The Company is subject to the corporate  alternative  minimum tax which
is imposed to the extent it exceeds  the  Company's  regular  income tax for the
year. The alternative minimum tax will be imposed at the rate of 20 percent of a
specially  computed  tax  base.  Included  in  this  base  will be a  number  of
preference items, including the

                                       23
<PAGE>
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.

         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 the 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 Company's  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.  The Company's  state franchise tax returns have
been audited through the tax year ended December 31, 1997.

Personnel

         As of  December  31,  1998,  the Company  had 95  full-time  employees.
Community  employed 36  full-time  and 7 part-time  employees as of December 31,
1998.  Heritage  employed 15 full-time and 1 part-time  employees as of December
31, 1998.  Finally,  NCF Bank employed 10 full-time and 1 part-time employees as
of December 31, 1998.  None of these  entity's  employees are  represented  by a
collective  bargaining  group.  The Company and three  subsidiary  Banks believe
their respective relationships with their employees to be good.

                                    AGREEMENT


         AGREEMENT,  effective as of May 20,1998,  between Community Bank Shares
of Indiana,  Inc., an Indiana corporation (the "Corporation" or the "Employer"),
and Michael L. Douglas (the "Executive").

                                   WITNESSETH

         WHEREAS,  in order to induce the  Executive to continue to serve as the
President and Chief Executive  Officer of the Corporation,  the Employer and the
Executive  desire  to enter  into this  Agreement  to  specify  the terms of the
Executive's employment;

         NOW  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of  the  premises  and  the  mutual
agreements herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:

         1.     Definitions.  The  following  words and  terms  shall  have the
meanings  set forth  below for the purposes of this Agreement:

         (a)  Average  Annual  Compensation.  The  Executive's  "Average  Annual
Compensation" for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to mean the average
level of  compensation  paid to the Executive by the Employer or any  subsidiary
thereof  during  the most  recent  three  taxable  years  preceding  the Date of
Termination,  as reflected in the annual W-2 Wage and Tax Statement  provided to
the Executive.

         (b) Base  Salary.  "Base  Salary"  shall have the  meaning set forth in
Section 3(a) hereof.

         (c) Cause. Termination of the Executive's employment for "Cause'9 shall
mean  termination  because  of  personal   dishonesty,   incompetence,   willful
misconduct,  breach of fiduciary duty  involving  personal  profit,  intentional
failure  to  perform  stated  duties,  willful  violation  of any  law,  rule or
regulation  (other  than  traffic  violations  or  similar  offenses)  or  final
cease-and-desist order or material breach of any provision of this Agreement.

         (d) Change in Control of the Corporation. (A) "Change in Control of the
Corporation"  shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any "person" (as such term
is used in  Sections  13(d) and  14(d) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934
("Exchange Act")) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under  the  Exchange  Act),  directly  or  indirectly,   of  securities  of  the
Corporation  representing  25% or  more  of the  combined  voting  power  of the
Corporation's  then  outstanding  securities;  and (ii) during any period of two
consecutive  years,  individuals who at the beginning of such period  constitute
the Board of Directors of the Corporation  cease for any reason to constitute at
least a majority thereof unless the election,  or the nomination for election by

of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the
period.

(e)      Code. "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

                                        1

         (f) Date of Termination.  "Date of  Termination"  shall mean (i) if the
Executive's  employment  is  terminated  for Cause or for  Disability,  the date
specified in the Notice of Termination,  and (ii) if the Executive's  employment
is terminated for any other reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is
given or as specified in such Notice.

         (g)  Disability.   Termination  by  the  Employer  of  the  Executive's
employment based on "Disability" shall mean termination  because of any physical
or mental impairment which qualifies the Executive for disability benefits under
the  applicable  long4erm  disability  plan  maintained  by the  Employer or any
subsidiary  or, if no such plan  applies,  which would qualify the Executive for
disability benefits under the Federal Social Security System.

         (h) IRS. IRS shall mean the Internal Revenue Service.

         (i) Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of the Executive's
employment  by the Employer for any reason,  including  without  limitation  for
Cause,  Disability or Retirement,  or by the Executive for any reason,  shall be
communicated by written  "Notice of Termination" to the other party hereto.  For
purposes of this Agreement,  a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a dated notice
which (i) indicates the specific termination  provision in this Agreement relied
upon, (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and  circumstances  claimed
to provide a basis for termination of Executive's employment under the provision
so indicated,  (iii) specifies a Date of  Termination,.  which shall be not less
than thirty (30) nor more than ninety (90) days after such Notice of Termination
is  given,  except  in the case of the  Employer's  termination  of  Executive's
employment for Cause, which shall be effective immediately; and (iv) is given in
the manner specified in Section 11 hereof.

         (j)  Retirement.   Termination  by  the  Employer  of  the  Executive's
employment  based  on  "Retirement"  shall  mean  voluntary  termination  by the
Executive in accordance with the Employer's retirement policies, including early
retirement, generally applicable to their salaried employees.

         2.   Term of Employment.

         (a) The Employer  hereby  employs the  Executive as President and Chief
Executive  Officer and Executive  hereby  accepts said  employment and agrees to
render such  services to the Employer on the terms and  conditions  set forth in
this Agreement. The initial term of employment under this Agreement shall be for
three years, commencing on the date of this Agreement and shall extend each year
for an  additional  year on the date that is six months prior to the  expiration
date for the remaining term of this  Agreement  unless either party shall notify
the other of its intention to stop such extensions. If the Board of Directors or
the  Executive  elects not to extend the term,  it shall give written  notice of
such  decision  to the other  party not less than  thirty (30) days prior to any
such annual  extension date. If any party gives timely notice that the term will
not be extended  as of any annual  extension  date,  then this  Agreement  shall
terminate at the conclusion of its remaining term. References herein to the term
of this Agreement shall refer both to the initial term and successive terms.


                                        2

<PAGE>

         (b) During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall perform such
executive  services  for the Employer as may be  consistent  with his titles and
from time to time assigned to him by the Employer's Board of Directors.

         3.  Compensation and Benefits.

         (a) The employer  shall  compensate  and pay Executive for his services
during the term of this  Agreement at a minimum base salary of $150,000 per year
("Base Salary"), which may be increased from time to time in such amounts as may
be determined by the Board of Directors of the Employer. In addition to his Base
Salary,  the  Executive  shall be  entitled  to receive  during the term of this
Agreement  such bonus payments as may be determined by the Board of Directors of
the Employer.

         (b) During the term of the  Agreement,  Executive  shall be entitled to
participate  in and  receive the  benefits  of any  pension or other  retirement
benefit plan, profit sharing, stock option,  employee stock ownership,  or other
plans,  benefits  and  privileges  given  to  employees  and  executives  of the
Employer,  to the extent commensurate with his then duties and responsibilities,
as fixed by the Board of Directors of the Employer.  The Employer shall not make
any changes in such plans,  benefits or privileges  which would adversely affect
Executive's rights or benefits thereunder, unless such change occurs pursuant to
a program applicable to all executive officers of the Employer.  Nothing paid to
Executive under any plan or arrangement presently in effect or made available in
the  future  shall be deemed to be in lieu of the salary  payable  to  Executive
pursuant  to  Section  3(a)  hereof.   Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  nothing
contained in this  Agreement  shall require the Executive to  participate in any
tax qualified or non-qualified benefit plan of the Employer.

         (c) During the term of this  Agreement,  Executive shall be entitled to
paid annual vacation in accordance with the policies as established from time to
time by the Board of Directors of the Employer.

         (d)  During  the  term of  this  Agreement  and  continuing  after  the
expiration of its term, the Employer shall provide  continued  participation  in
the Corporation's  group health insurance plan for the Executive and his spouse,
at no cost to the Executive or his spouse, until such time as each shall qualify
for coverage under Medicare  (Subchapter  XVIII,  Health  Insurance for Aged and
Disabled of the Federal Social  Security Act) or a successor  program or system,
if any; provided,  however, the Employer shall have no obligation to continue to
provide such  benefit if the  Executive  is  terminated  for Cause as defined in
Section  1(c)  hereof.  In the event that the  Executive's  and/or his  spouse's
participation  in such health  insurance plan is prohibited by the terms of such
plan or by the  Employer  for legal or other bona fide  reasons,  or during such
period  the plan is  discontinued  or the  benefits  thereunder  are  materially
reduced, the Employer shall arrange to provide the Executive and his spouse with
benefits substantially similar to those which the Executive and his spouse would
have  received  under the plan or the  Corporation  shall pay, or reimburse  the
Executive,  for the cost of the premiums necessary to obtain comparable coverage
under a similar plan for the remainder of such period.


                                        3

<PAGE>

         4.  Expenses.  The  Employer  shall  reimburse  Executive  or otherwise
provide  for or pay  for  all  reasonable  expenses  incurred  by  Executive  in
furtherance of, or in connection  with the business of the Employer,  including,
but  not by way of  limitation,  and  traveling  expenses,  and  all  reasonable
entertainment  expenses  (whether incurred at the Executive's  residence,  while
traveling or  otherwise),  subject to such  reasonable  documentation  and other
limitations as may be established by the Board of Directors of the Employer.  If
such expenses are paid in the first  instance by Executive,  the Employer  shall
reimburse the Executive therefor.

         5.  Termination.

         (a) The Employer shall have the right, at any time upon prior Notice of
Termination,  to terminate the Executive's  employment hereunder for any reason,
including without  limitation  termination for Cause,  Disability or Retirement,
and  Executive  shall  have the  right,  upon prior  Notice of  Termination,  to
terminate his employment hereunder for any reason.

         (b) In the event that (i)  Executive's  employment is terminated by the
Employer for Cause,  Disability or Retirement or in the event of the Executive's
death,  or  (ii)  Executive  terminates  his  employment  hereunder  other  than
following a Change in Control of the  Corporation  or a material  breach of this
Agreement by the Employer which has not been cured in accordance  with the terms
of this  Agreement,  Executive shall have no right pursuant to this Agreement to
compensation  or other  benefits  for any period  after the  applicable  Date of
Termination except as provided for pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof.

         (c) In the event  that  Executive's  employment  is  terminated  by the
Employer for other than Cause, Disability,  Retirement or the Executive's death,
or such  employment is  terminated by the Executive due to a material  breach of
this Agreement by the Employer which has not been cured within fifteen (15) days
after a written notice of non-compliance  has been given by the Executive to the
Employer,  and as of Executive's Date of Termination no Change in Control of the
Corporation has occurred,  no written  agreement which  contemplates a Change in
Control of the Corporation and which still is in effect has been entered into by
the Employer and no discussions  and/or  negotiations  are being conducted which
relate to the same,  then the  Employer  shall,  subject  to the  provisions  of
Section 6 hereof, if applicable:

                  (A)  pay to  the  Executive,  in  equal  monthly  installments
                  beginning with the first  business day of the month  following
                  the Date of Termination,  a cash severance amount equal to the
                  Base  Salary  which the  Executive  would have earned over the
                  remaining   term  of  this   Agreement   as  of  his  Date  of
                  Termination, and

                  (B) maintain and provide for a period ending at the earlier of
                  (i) the  expiration of the remaining  term of the  Executive's
                  employment which remained immediately prior to the Executive's
                  Date of  Termination  or  (ii)  the  date  of the  Executive's
                  full-time  employment by another  employer  (provided that the
                  Executive is entitled  under the terms of such  employment  to
                  benefits substantially similar to those described in this


                                        4

<PAGE>

                  subparagraph   (B)),  at  no  cost  to  the   Executive,   the
                  Executive's  continued  participation  in all group insurance,
                  life  insurance,  health and accident and disability  plans in
                  which the  Executive was entitled to  participate  immediately
                  prior to the Date of  Termination,  provided that in the event
                  that the  Executive's  participation  in any plan,  program or
                  arrangement as provided in this subparagraph (B) is prohibited
                  by the terms of the plan or by the Employer for legal or other
                  bona  fide  reasons,  or during  such  period  any such  plan,
                  program  or  arrangement  is   discontinued  or  the  benefits
                  thereunder  are  materially  reduced  for all  employees,  the
                  Employer  shall arrange to provide the Executive with benefits
                  substantially  similar to those which the Executive would have
                  received had his employment  continued  throughout such period
                  to the extent such benefits can be provided at a  commercially
                  reasonable cost. In the event such benefits cannot be provided
                  at a commercially  reasonable cost, the Employer shall pay the
                  Executive  that portion of the premiums or other costs of such
                  plans allocable to the Executive in the year prior to the Date
                  of Termination  for the period set forth in this  subparagraph
                  (B). In no event,  however,  shall these benefits terminate or
                  reduce the benefits that the Executive is entitled to pursuant
                  to  Section  3(d)  hereof.   Nothing   provided  for  in  this
                  subparagraph   (B)  shall  be  construed  as  to  provide  for
                  continued  participation  by the Executive in any stock option
                  or restricted  stock plan or any cash  incentive or bonus plan
                  of the Employer.

         6.  Change in Control of the  Corporation.  In the event of a Change in
Control of the Corporation,  then the Employer shall,  subject to the provisions
of Section 7 hereof, if applicable:
                  
                  (A)  immediately  pay to the  Executive,  in a single lump sum
                  payment,   a  cash  amount   equal  to  three  (3)  times  the
                  Executive's  Average Annual Compensation as of the date of the
                  Change in Control of the Corporation, minus one dollar, and

                  (B)  maintain  and provide for a period  ending at the earlier
                  of(i) the expiration of thirty-six (36) months from the date a
                  Change in Control of the  Corporation has occurred or (ii) the
                  date  of  the  Executive's  full-time  employment  by  another
                  employer  provided  that the  Executive is entitled  under the
                  terms of such employment to benefits  substantially similar to
                  those described in this  subparagraph  (B)), at no cost to the
                  Executive,  the  Executive's  continued  participation  in all
                  group  insurance,  life  insurance,  health and  accident  and
                  disability  plans in  which  the  Executive  was  entitled  to
                  participate immediately prior to the date of the occurrence of
                  the Change in Control of the Corporation, provided that in the
                  event that the Executive's  participation in any plan, program
                  or  arrangement  as  provided  in  this  subparagraph  (B)  is
                  prohibited  by the  terms of the plan or by the  Employer  for
                  legal or other bona fide  reasons,  or during  such period any
                  such  plan,  program or  arrangement  is  discontinued  or the
                  benefits  thereunder are materially reduced for all employees,
                  the  Employer  shall  arrange to provide  the  Executive  with
                  benefits  substantially  similar to those which the  Executive
                  would have received had his  employment  continued  throughout
                  such period to the extent such  benefits  can be provided at a
                  commercially
                                        5

<PAGE>

                  reasonable cost. In the event such benefits cannot be provided
                  at a commercially  reasonable cost, the Employer shall pay the
                  Executive  that portion of the premiums or other costs of such
                  plans allocable to the Executive in the year prior to the Date
                  of Termination  for the period set forth in this  subparagraph
                  (B). In no event,  however,  shall these benefits terminate or
                  reduce the benefits that the Executive is entitled to pursuant
                  to  Section  3(d)  hereof.   Nothing   provided  for  in  this
                  subparagraph   (B)  shall  be  construed  as  to  provide  for
                  continued  participation  by the Executive in any stock option
                  or restricted  stock plan or any cash  incentive or bonus plan
                  of the Employer.

         7. Limitation of Benefits under Certain Circumstances.  If the payments
and benefits  pursuant to Section 6 hereof,  either alone or together with other
payments  and  benefits  which  Executive  has the  right  to  receive  from the
Employer, would constitute a "parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Code,
the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 6 hereof shall be reduced,  in the
manner determined by the Executive,  by the amount, if any, which is the minimum
necessary to result in no portion of the payments and benefits  under  Section 6
being  non-deductible  to the Employer  pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and
subject  to  the  excise  tax  imposed  under  Section  4999  of the  Code.  The
determination  of any reduction in the payments and benefits to be made pursuant
to Section 6 shall be based upon the opinion of independent tax counsel selected
by the Employers' independent public accountants and paid by the Employer.  Such
counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Employer and the Executive;  shall
promptly prepare the foregoing  opinion,  but in no event later than thirty (30)
days from the Date of  Termination;  and may use such  actuaries as such counsel
deems  necessary  or advisable  for the purpose.  In the event that the Employer
and/or the  Executive  do not agree with the  opinion of such  counsel,  (i) the
Employer  shall pay to the Executive the maximum amount of payments and benefits
pursuant  to  Section  5, as  selected  by the  Executive,  which  such  opinion
indicates that there is a high probability do not result in any of such payments
and benefits being  non-deductible to the Employer and subject to the imposition
of the excise tax imposed  under  Section 4999 of the Code and (ii) the Employer
may  request,  and  Executive  shall have the right to demand that the  Employer
request,  a ruling from the IRS as to whether the disputed payments and benefits
pursuant  to Section 6 hereof  have such  consequences.  Any such  request for a
ruling from the IRS shall be promptly prepared and filed by the Employer, but in
no event  later than  thirty  (30) days from the date of the  opinion of counsel
referred to above, and shall be subject to Executive's approval prior to filing,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Employer and Executive agree to be
bound by any ruling  received from the IRS and to make  appropriate  payments to
each other to reflect any such rulings, together with interest at the applicable
federal rate provided for in Section  7872(f)(2) of the Code.  Nothing contained
herein  shall  result in a  reduction  of any  payments or benefits to which the
Executive may be entitled upon termination of employment under any circumstances
other than as  specified  in this  Section 7, or a reduction in the payments and
benefits specified in Section 6 below zero.

         8.       Mitigation; Covenant Not To Compete; Exclusivity of Benefits.

         (a) The  Executive  shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any
benefits  hereunder by seeking  other  employment  or  otherwise,  nor shall the
amount  of any such  benefits  be  reduced  by any  compensation  earned  by the
Executive  as a result  of  employment  by  another  employer  after the Date of
Termination or otherwise.
                                        6

         (b) The Executive hereby agrees that,  following the termination of his
employment under this Agreement for any reason, other than following a Change in
Control  of the  Corporation,  he will not,  for a period of time  equal to what
would have been the then remaining term of this Agreement absent his termination
of employment, directly or indirectly and in any way, whether as principal or as
director,  officer,  employee,  consultant,  agent,  partner or  stockholder  to
another entity (other than by the ownership of a passive investment  interest of
not more than 5% in a company with publicly traded equity securities),  (i) own,
manage, operate, control, be employed by, participate in, or be connected in any
manner with the  ownership,  management,  operation  or control of any  business
located  within  50  miles of any of the  branch  offices  of the  Corporation's
subsidiary  banks that are in existence  during the term of this  Agreement  and
prior to a Change in Control of the Corporation  that competes with any business
of the Employer; (ii) interfere with, solicit on behalf of another or attempt to
entice  away  from the  Employer  any  project,  loan,  arrangement,  agreement,
financing or customer of the Employer or any contract,  agreement or arrangement
that  the  Employer  is  actively  negotiating  with  any  other  party,  or any
prospective business opportunity that the Employer has identified;  or (iii) for
himself or another, hire, attempt to hire, or assist in or facilitate in any way
the hiring of any employee of the Employer.

         (c) The  specific  arrangements  referred to herein are not intended to
exclude  any other  benefits  which may be  available  to the  Executive  upon a
termination of employment with the Employer  pursuant to employee  benefit plans
of the Employer or otherwise.

         9.  Withholding.  All  payments  required  to be made  by the  Employer
hereunder to the Executive  shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts,
if any,  relating  to tax and  other  payroll  deductions  as the  Employer  may
reasonably  determine  should be  withheld  pursuant  to any  applicable  law or
regulation.

         10.  Assignability.  The Employer may assign this  Agreement  and their
rights and obligations  hereunder in whole, but not in part, to any corporation,
bank or other  entity with or into which the  Employer  may  hereafter  merge or
consolidate  or to which the Employer may transfer all or  substantially  all of
their assets, if in any such case said  corporation,  bank or other entity shall
by  operation  of law or  expressly  in writing  assume all  obligations  of the
Employer  hereunder as fully as if it had been  originally  made a party hereto,
but may not  otherwise  assign this  Agreement or their  rights and  obligations
hereunder. The Executive may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights
or obligations hereunder.

         11. Notice.  For the purposes of this Agreement,  notices and all other
communications  provided for in this Agreement  shall be in writing and shall be
deemed  to have been duly  given  when  delivered  or  mailed  by  certified  or

Director,  key employee and other  persons  under the Plan,  and whether  Awards
granted  to each such  Participant  under  the Plan  shall be  Incentive  and/or
Non-Incentive  Stock Options.  In selecting  Participants and in determining the
number of Shares of Common  Stock to be  granted to each such  Participant,  the
Committee  may  consider  the  nature  of the  services  rendered  by each  such
Participant,  each such Participant's current and potential  contribution to the
Corporation and such other factors as the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
deem  relevant.  Participants  who have been  granted an Award may, if otherwise
eligible, be granted additional Awards.

                  (b) The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date
the Option is  granted)  of the Shares  with  respect to which  Incentive  Stock
Options are  exercisable for the first time by each Employee during any calendar
year (under all Incentive  Stock Option plans,  as defined in Section 422 of the
Code,  of the  Corporation  or any present or future Parent or Subsidiary of the
Corporation) shall not exceed $100,000.  Notwithstanding the prior provisions of
this  Section 6, the  Committee  may grant  Options  in excess of the  foregoing
limitations,  provided said Options shall be clearly and specifically designated
as not being Incentive Stock Options.

                  (c) In no event  shall  Shares  subject to Options  granted to
non-employee  Directors in the aggregate under this Plan exceed more than 30% of
the total number of Shares  authorized  for delivery under this Plan pursuant to
Section 3 herein or more than 5% to any individual  non-employee Director. In no
event shall Shares subject to Options  granted to any Employee  exceed more than
25% of the total number of Shares authorized for delivery under the Plan.

       7. Term of the Plan.  The Plan shall continue in effect for a term of ten
(10) years from the Effective Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section
18 hereof.  No Option shall be granted  under the Plan after ten (10) years from
the Effective Date.

       8. Terms and  Conditions  of Incentive  Stock  Options.  Incentive  Stock
Options may be granted only to  Participants  who are Employees.  Each Incentive
Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an instrument in
such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve. Each Incentive Stock
Option  granted  pursuant to the Plan shall comply with,  and be subject to, the
following terms and conditions:

            (a)   Option Price.

                   (i) The price per Share at which each Incentive  Stock Option
granted  under  the  Plan  may be  exercised  shall  not,  as to any  particular
Incentive  Stock Option,  be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

                  (ii)  In  the  case  of an  Employee  who  owns  Common  Stock
representing more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding  Common Stock at the
time the Incentive Stock Option is granted,  the Incentive Stock Option exercise
price  shall not be less than one  hundred  and ten  percent  (110%) of the Fair
Market  Value of the  Common  Stock at the time the  Incentive  Stock  Option is
granted.


                                       A-4
<PAGE>
            (b) Payment.  Full payment for each Share of Common Stock  purchased
upon the exercise of any Incentive  Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be
made at the time of exercise of each such  Incentive  Stock  Option and shall be
paid in cash (in United States  Dollars),  Common Stock or a combination of cash
and Common  Stock.  Common  Stock  utilized  in full or  partial  payment of the
exercise price shall be valued at its Fair Market Value at the date of exercise.
The Corporation shall accept full or partial payment in Common Stock only to the
extent  permitted by  applicable  law. No Shares of Common Stock shall be issued
until  full  payment  therefor  has been  received  by the  Corporation,  and no
Optionee shall have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Corporation  until
Shares of Common Stock are issued to him.

            (c) Term of Incentive Stock Option.  The term of  exercisability  of
each Incentive Stock Option granted  pursuant to the Plan shall be not more than
ten (10)  years  from the date  each such  Incentive  Stock  Option is  granted,
provided that in the case of an Employee who owns stock  representing  more than
ten percent  (10%) of the Common  Stock  outstanding  at the time the  Incentive
Stock Option is granted, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall not exceed
five (5) years.

            (d) Exercise  Generally.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 10
hereof,  no Incentive  Stock Option may be exercised  unless the Optionee  shall
have  been in the  employ of the  Corporation  at all times  during  the  period
beginning with the date of grant of any such  Incentive  Stock Option and ending
on the date three (3) months prior to the date of exercise of any such Incentive
Stock Option.  The Committee may impose additional  conditions upon the right of
an Optionee to exercise any Incentive  Stock Option granted  hereunder which are
not   inconsistent   with  the  terms  of  the  Plan  or  the  requirements  for
qualification as an Incentive Stock Option.  Except as otherwise provided by the
terms of the Plan or by action of the  Committee at the time of the grant of the
Options,  the Options  will be first  exercisable  at the rate of 20% on the one
year  anniversary of the date of grant and 20% annually  thereafter  during such
periods of service as an Employee, Director or Director Emeritus.

            (e)  Cashless  Exercise.   Subject  to  vesting   requirements,   if
applicable,  an Optionee who has held an Incentive Stock Option for at least six
months may engage in the  "cashless  exercise"  of the  Option.  Upon a cashless
exercise,  an Optionee gives the  Corporation  written notice of the exercise of
the Option  together with an order to a registered  broker-dealer  or equivalent
third party,  to sell part or all of the Optioned Stock and to deliver enough of
the  proceeds  to the  Corporation  to pay the  Option  exercise  price  and any
applicable  withholding  taxes. If the Optionee does not sell the Optioned Stock
through a registered  broker-dealer  or equivalent third party, the Optionee can
give the Corporation  written notice of the exercise of the Option and the third
party  purchaser of the Optioned Stock shall pay the Option  exercise price plus
any applicable withholding taxes to the Corporation.

            (f) Transferability.  Any Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to
the Plan shall be exercised  during an Optionee's  lifetime only by the Optionee
to whom it was granted and shall not be  assignable  or  transferable  otherwise
than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

       9.  Terms  and   Conditions  of   Non-Incentive   Stock   Options.   Each
Non-Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an
instrument in such form as the Committee  shall from time to time approve.  Each
Non-Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall comply with and be
subject to the following terms and conditions.

            (a) Options  Granted to  Directors.  Subject to the  limitations  of
Section 6(c),  Non-  Incentive  Stock Options to purchase 3,852 shares of Common
Stock will be granted to each Director who

                                       A-5
<PAGE>
is not an Employee as of the Effective  Date, at an exercise  price equal to the
Fair  Market  Value of the Common  Stock on such date of grant.  Options  may be
granted to newly  appointed or elected  non-employee  Directors  within the sole
discretion of the Committee.  The Options will be exercisable at the rate of 20%
on the one year  anniversary  of the Effective Date of the Plan and 20% annually
thereafter during such periods of service as director or director emeritus. Upon
the death or disability of the director or director  emeritus,  or upon a change
or control of the Savings  Association or the Corporation as provided at Section
13(b) herein,  such Option shall be deemed  immediately  100%  exercisable.  The
exercise  price per  Share of such  Options  granted  shall be equal to the Fair
Market  Value of the Common  Stock at the time such  Options are  granted.  Such
Options shall continue to be exercisable for a period of ten years following the
date of grant  during  periods of  continued  services  of such  Directors  as a
Director or Director Emeritus; provided however that such Options shall cease to
be  exerciseable  following  the  date  that  is two  years  after  the  date of
Disability or death,  or one year after the date of  termination of service as a
Director or Director Emeritus, if earlier. In the event of the Optionee's death,
such Options may be exercised  by the personal  representative  of his estate or
person or persons to whom his rights under such Option shall have passed by will
or by laws of  descent  and  distribution.  Unless  otherwise  inapplicable,  or
inconsistent with the provisions of this paragraph, the Options to be granted to
Directors hereunder shall be subject to all other provisions of this Plan.

            (b) Option Price.  The exercise  price per Share of Common Stock for
each Non-Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan, other than Options
granted pursuant to Section 9(a) herein, shall be at such price as the Committee
may determine in its sole discretion,  but in no event less than the Fair Market
Value of such Common Stock on the date of grant as  determined  by the Committee
in good faith.

            (c) Payment.  Full payment for each Share of Common Stock  purchased
upon the exercise of any Non-Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall
be made at the time of  exercise  of each such  Non-Incentive  Stock  Option and
shall be paid in cash (in United States Dollars),  Common Stock or a combination
of cash and Common Stock.  Common Stock  utilized in full or partial  payment of
the  exercise  price  shall be  valued at its Fair  Market  Value at the date of
exercise.  The Corporation  shall accept full or partial payment in Common Stock
only to the extent  permitted by applicable law. No Shares of Common Stock shall
be issued until full payment  therefor has been received by the  Corporation and
no Optionee  shall have any of the rights of a  stockholder  of the  Corporation
until the Shares of Common Stock are issued to him.

            (d) Term. The term of  exercisability  of each  Non-Incentive  Stock
Option  granted  pursuant to the Plan shall be not more than ten (10) years from
the date each such Non-Incentive Stock Option is granted.

            (e)  Exercise   Generally.   The  Committee  may  impose  additional
conditions upon the right of any Participant to exercise any Non-Incentive Stock
Option granted hereunder which is not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.

            (f)  Cashless  Exercise.   Subject  to  vesting   requirements,   if
applicable,  an Optionee who has held a Non-Incentive  Stock Option for at least
six months may engage in the "cashless  exercise" of the Option. Upon a cashless
exercise,  an Optionee gives the  Corporation  written notice of the exercise of
the Option  together with an order to a registered  broker-dealer  or equivalent
third party,  to sell part or all of the Optioned Stock and to deliver enough of
the  proceeds  to the  Corporation  to pay the  Option  exercise  price  and any
applicable withholding taxes. If the Optionee does not sell the Optioned Stock

                                       A-6
<PAGE>
through a registered  broker-dealer  or equivalent third party, the Optionee can
give the Corporation  written notice of the exercise of the Option and the third
party  purchaser of the Optioned Stock shall pay the Option  exercise price plus
any applicable withholding taxes to the Corporation.

            (g) Transferability. Any Non-Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant
to the  Plan  shall be  exercised  during  an  Optionee's  lifetime  only by the
Optionee  to whom it was  granted and shall not be  assignable  or  transferable
otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

      10.  Effect of Termination of Employment, Disability or Death on Incentive
           ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock Options.
- --------------

            (a)  Termination  of  Employment.  In the event that any  Optionee's
employment  with the  Corporation  shall  terminate  for any reason,  other than
Permanent and Total  Disability (as such term is defined in Section  22(e)(3) of
the Code) or death, all of any such Optionee's  Incentive Stock Options, and all
of any such  Optionee's  rights to  purchase or receive  Shares of Common  Stock
pursuant  thereto,  shall  automatically  terminate  on the  earlier  of (i) the
respective  expiration  dates of any such Incentive  Stock Options,  or (ii) the
expiration of not more than three (3) months after the date of such  termination
of employment, or (iii) at such later date as determined by the Committee at the
time of the grant of such Award, based upon the Optionee's  continuing status as
a Director or Director  Emeritus of the Savings  Association or the Corporation,
but only if, and to the extent  that,  the Optionee was entitled to exercise any
such Incentive Stock Options at the date of such termination of employment,  and
further that such Award shall thereafter be deemed a Non-Incentive Stock Option.
In the event that a Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Corporation, the
employment of all of its employees who are not immediately  thereafter employees
of the Corporation shall be deemed to terminate upon the date such Subsidiary so
ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Corporation.

            (b) Disability. In the event that any Optionee's employment with the
Corporation  shall terminate as the result of the Permanent and Total Disability
of such Optionee, such Optionee may exercise any Incentive Stock Options granted
to him  pursuant  to the  Plan  at any  time  prior  to the  earlier  of (i) the
respective expiration dates of any such Incentive Stock Options or (ii) the date
which is one (1) year after the date of such termination of employment, but only
if, and to the extent  that,  the  Optionee  was  entitled to exercise  any such
Incentive Stock Options at the date of such termination of employment.

            (c) Death.  In the event of the death of an Optionee,  any Incentive
Stock Options granted to such Optionee may be exercised by the person or persons
to whom the  Optionee's  rights under any such  Incentive  Stock Options pass by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution (including the Optionee's estate
during the period of administration) at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the
respective expiration dates of any such Incentive Stock Options or (ii) the date
which is two (2) years after the date of death of such Optionee but only if, and
to the extent that,  the  Optionee  was entitled to exercise any such  Incentive
Stock  Options at the date of death.  For  purposes of this Section  10(c),  any
Incentive  Stock Option held by an Optionee  shall be considered  exercisable at
the  date of his  death  if the  only  unsatisfied  condition  precedent  to the
exercisability  of such  Incentive  Stock  Option  at the  date of  death is the
passage of a specified period of time. At the discretion of the Committee,  upon
exercise of such Options the Optionee may receive  Shares or cash or combination
thereof.  If cash shall be paid in lieu of  Shares,  such cash shall be equal to
the  difference  between the Fair Market  Value of such Shares and the  exercise
price of such Options on the exercise date.


                                       A-7
<PAGE>
            (d) Incentive  Stock  Options  Deemed  Exercisable.  For purposes of
Sections  10(a),  10(b) and 10(c) above,  any Incentive Stock Option held by any
Optionee  shall be  considered  exercisable  at the date of  termination  of his
employment if any such  Incentive  Stock Option would have been  exercisable  at
such date of termination of employment without regard to the Permanent and Total
Disability or death of the Participant.

            (e)  Termination  of  Incentive  Stock  Options.  Except  as  may be
specified by the Committee at the time of grant of an Option, to the extent that
any  Incentive  Stock  Option  granted  under  the  Plan to any  Optionee  whose
employment with the Corporation  terminates shall not have been exercised within
the  applicable  period set forth in this Section 10, any such  Incentive  Stock
Option,  and all rights to purchase or receive  Shares of Common Stock  pursuant
thereto,  as the case may be, shall  terminate on the last day of the applicable
period.

      11.  Effect  of  Termination   of  Employment,   Disability  or  Death  on
Non-Incentive  Stock Options.  The terms and conditions of  Non-Incentive  Stock
Options relating to the effect of the termination of an Optionee's employment or
service,  disability  of an  Optionee  or his  death  shall  be such  terms  and
conditions as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine at the time
of termination of service,  unless specifically provided for by the terms of the
Agreement at the time of grant of the Award;  provided however that such Options
shall cease to be  exerciseable  not later than the date that is two years after
the date of Disability or death,  or one year after the date of  termination  of
service as an Employee, Director or Director Emeritus.

      12.  Allocation of Plan  Expenses.  The  Corporation  shall  reimburse the
Savings  Association for all expenses associated with Awards under the Plan with
respect to: a) the vesting of Awards made in accordance with Section 9(a) to the
extent  that such  vesting  occurs  after the date that such  Participant  is no
longer serving as a director of the Savings  Association,  and b) the vesting of
Awards held by former Employees that continue to serve as a Director or Director
Emeritus  to the extent  that such  vesting  shall  occur after the last date of
service as an Employee of the Savings  Association  and the level of Awards that
vest shall exceed the amount that such Participant would have received had he or
she been solely a director of the Savings  Association and not an Employee as of
the Effective Date.


      13. Recapitalization,  Merger, Consolidation,  Change in Control and Other
          ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Transactions.
- -------------

            (a) Adjustment.  Subject to any required action by the  stockholders
of the Corporation,  within the sole discretion of the Committee,  the aggregate
number of Shares of Common Stock for which Options may be granted hereunder, the
number of Shares of Common Stock  covered by each  outstanding  Option,  and the
exercise  price  per Share of Common  Stock of each  such  Option,  shall all be
proportionately  adjusted  for any  increase or decrease in the number of issued
and  outstanding  Shares  of  Common  Stock  resulting  from  a  subdivision  or
consolidation   of  Shares   (whether   by  reason  of  merger,   consolidation,
recapitalization,   reclassification,   split-up,   combination  of  shares,  or
otherwise) or the payment of a stock  dividend (but only on the Common Stock) or
any other  increase or  decrease  in the number of such  Shares of Common  Stock
effected  without the receipt of  consideration  by the Corporation  (other than
Shares held by dissenting stockholders).

            (b)  Change  in  Control.   All  outstanding   Awards  shall  become
immediately  exercisable in the event of a change in control of the Corporation,
as determined by the Committee,  provided that such  accelerated  vesting is not
inconsistent with applicable regulations of the Office of

                                       A-8
<PAGE>
Thrift Supervision at the time of such change in control. In the event of such a
change in control,  the Optionee shall,  at the discretion of the Committee,  be
entitled  to receive  cash in an amount  equal to the Fair  Market  Value of the
Common Stock  subject to any  Incentive or  Non-Incentive  Stock Option over the
Option  Price of such Shares,  in exchange for the  surrender of such Options by
the  Optionee  on  that  date  in  the  event  of a  change  in  control  of the
Corporation.  For purposes of this Section 13,  "change in control"  shall mean:
(i) the execution of an agreement for the sale of all, or a material portion, of
the assets of the  Corporation;  (ii) the execution of an agreement for a merger
or recapitalization of the Corporation or any merger or recapitalization whereby
the  Corporation is not the surviving  entity;  (iii) a change of control of the
Corporation,  as  otherwise  defined  or  determined  by the  Office  of  Thrift
Supervision or regulations promulgated by it; or (iv) the acquisition,  directly
or indirectly,  of the beneficial  ownership (within the meaning of that term as
it is used in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules
and regulations  promulgated thereunder) of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of
the  outstanding  voting  securities of the  Corporation  by any person,  trust,
entity or group.  This  limitation  shall not apply to the purchase of shares by
underwriters in connection  with a public offering of Corporation  stock, or the
purchase of shares of up to 25% of any class of securities of the Corporation by
a  tax-qualified  employee  stock benefit plan which is exempt from the approval
requirements,  set forth under 12 C.F.R.  ss.574.3(c)(1)(vi) as now in effect or
as may  hereafter be amended.  The term  "person"  refers to an  individual or a
corporation,  partnership,  trust, association,  joint venture, pool, syndicate,
sole proprietorship, unincorporated organization or any other form of entity not
specifically listed herein. The decision of the Committee as to whether a change
in control has occurred shall be conclusive and binding.

            (c) Extraordinary  Corporate Action.  Notwithstanding any provisions
of the Plan to the contrary,  subject to any required action by the stockholders
of the  Corporation,  in the event of any change in  control,  recapitalization,
merger,  consolidation,  exchange of Shares,  spin-off,  reorganization,  tender
offer, partial or complete  liquidation or other extraordinary  corporate action
or event, the Committee, in its sole discretion,  shall have the power, prior or
subsequent to such action or event to:

                   (i) appropriately adjust the number of Shares of Common Stock
subject to each Option,  the exercise  price per Share of Common Stock,  and the
consideration  to be given or received by the  Corporation  upon the exercise of
any outstanding Option;

                  (ii) cancel any or all previously  granted  Options,  provided
that appropriate  consideration is paid to the Optionee in connection therewith;
and/or

                   (iii) make such other adjustments in connection with the Plan
as  the  Committee,  in  its  sole  discretion,   deems  necessary,   desirable,
appropriate or advisable;  provided,  however,  that no action shall be taken by
the Committee which would cause Incentive Stock Options granted  pursuant to the
Plan to fail to meet the  requirements  of Section  422 of the Code  without the
consent of the Optionee.

            Except as expressly  provided in Sections 13(a) and 13(b) hereof, no
Optionee  shall have any rights by reason of the occurrence of any of the events
described in this Section 13.  Notwithstanding  anything herein at Section 13(c)
to the  contrary,  no action  of the  Board or the  Committee  with  respect  to
administration of the Plan or Awards thereunder shall be taken which shall be in
violation of applicable law, or applicable regulations or policies of the OTS in
effect at the time of such action.


                                       A-9
<PAGE>
            (d) Acceleration. The Committee shall at all times have the power to
accelerate  the  exercise  date of Options  previously  granted  under the Plan;
provided  that such  action is not  contrary to  regulations  of the OTS then in
effect.

      14. Time of  Granting  Options.  The date of grant of an Option  under the
Plan  shall,  for all  purposes,  be the date on which the  Committee  makes the
determination  of granting  such Option,  but in no event prior to the Effective
Date. Notice of the grant of an Option shall be given to each individual to whom
an Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant in
a form determined by the Committee.

      15.  Effective  Date.  The Plan shall  become  effective  upon the date of
approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Corporation, subject to approval
or non-objection by the Office of Thrift Supervision, if applicable.

      16. Approval by  Stockholders.  The Plan shall be approved by stockholders
of the  Corporation  within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan
is approved by the Board.

      17.  Modification of Options. At any time and from time to time, the Board
may authorize  the Committee to direct the execution of an instrument  providing
for the modification of any outstanding  Option,  provided no such modification,
extension  or renewal  shall  confer on the  holder of said  Option any right or
benefit which could not be conferred on him by the grant of a new Option at such
time, or shall not materially  decrease the Optionee's benefits under the Option
without the consent of the holder of the Option,  except as otherwise  permitted
under Section 18 hereof.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  in no event shall the
exercise price per Share of an Option be reduced except in such instances  where
the product of the exercise  price per Share times the number of Shares  subject
to Options shall remain the same.

      18. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
          -------------------------------------

            (a) Action by the Board. The Board may alter, suspend or discontinue
the  Plan,  except  that no action of the  Board  may  increase  (other  than as
provided  in Section 13 hereof)  the maximum  number of Shares  permitted  to be
optioned  under  the  Plan,   materially   increase  the  benefits  accruing  to
Participants   under  the  Plan  or  materially   modify  the  requirements  for
eligibility for  participation in the Plan unless such action of the Board shall
be subject to approval or ratification by the stockholders of the Corporation.

            (b) Change in Applicable  Law.  Notwithstanding  any other provision
contained  in the Plan,  in the event of a change in any  federal  or state law,
rule  or  regulation  which  would  make  the  exercise  of all or  part  of any
previously  granted Option  unlawful or subject the  Corporation to any penalty,
the Committee may restrict any such exercise without the consent of the Optionee
or other holder thereof in order to comply with any such law, rule or regulation
or to avoid any such penalty.

      19.  Conditions  Upon Issuance of Shares.  Shares shall not be issued with
respect to any Option granted under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of
such Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without
limitation,  the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  the rules and  regulations
promulgated   thereunder,   any  applicable   state   securities  laws  and  the
requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed.


                                      A-10
<PAGE>
      The inability of the  Corporation to obtain any necessary  authorizations,
approvals  or letters of  non-objection  from any  regulatory  body or authority
deemed by the  Corporation's  counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and
sale of any Shares  hereunder  shall relieve the Corporation of any liability in
respect of the non-issuance or sale of such Shares.

      As a condition to the exercise of an Option,  the  Corporation may require
the person exercising the Option to make such  representations and warranties as
may  be  necessary  to  assure  the   availability  of  an  exemption  from  the
registration requirements of federal or state securities law.

      Notwithstanding  anything herein to the contrary,  upon the termination of
service of an Optionee by the  Corporation  or its  Subsidiaries  for "cause" as
defined at 12 C.F.R.  563.39(b)(1) as determined by the Board of Directors,  all
Options held by such Participant shall cease to be exercisable as of the date of
such termination of service.

      20.  Reservation of Shares.  During the term of the Plan, the  Corporation
will  reserve and keep  available a number of Shares  sufficient  to satisfy the
requirements of the Plan.

      21.  Unsecured  Obligation.  No Participant  under the Plan shall have any
interest in any fund or special asset of the  Corporation  by reason of the Plan

Our cover photograph shows a series of arches or entranceways, a symbol of the 
choices Community Bank Shares has faced in the past and will continue to face as
it progresses, as well as the need to continue moving forward, to venture into
the next arena and face the next challenge.  The architecture of the image 
captures the sense of history and tradition which serves as the foundation for
the company's growth and vision for the future.

Running through our "gatefold" cover is a timeline which highlights key moments
in that history, while also reflecting the consistent manner in which we have
moved forward on behalf of our shareholders, our customers and our own people.

Dear Shareholders:

The past year has been one of significant change and growth for our company.  We
completed the merger with NCF Bank and Trust, in Bardstown,  Kentucky, on May 6,
1998, which allowed us to expand into the emerging Nelson County market.  At the
end of May, Robert E. Yates retired as president and chief executive  officer of
our company. We want to thank Bob for his leadership over the last 10 years, and
we wish the best for Bob and his wife, Darlene, in the coming years.

At the time of Bob's  retirement,  Michael  L.  Douglas  joined  the  company as
president and chief executive officer of Community Bank Shares.  Thomas M. Jones
was promoted to president  of Community  Bank and Patrick  Daily was promoted to
president  of Heritage  Bank.  These  changes  broadened  and  strengthened  our
management team for future success.

As we  anticipated,  all of the  markets  that we  compete in have  become  more
competitive.  The financial  services  industry is being challenged by a host of
competitors  from  other  industries,  which do not have  nearly  the  rules and
regulations  that are imposed on banking  institutions.  Despite the competitive
pressures  from within and outside the industry,  Community Bank Shares was able
to grow assets in excess of 15%, from $288,485,710, in 1997, to $331,913,305, in
1998. This growth was primarily fueled by an increase in our commercial  lending
activities,  which ended the year at $83,480,543,  compared to $50,361,402  last
year, an increase of 65.8%.  We continue our efforts to restructure  our balance
sheet into these  higher-yielding  earning  assets,  while being ever mindful of
credit quality.

Excluding  merger-related and other non-recurring  expenses,  basic earnings per
share for 1998 were $1.11,  compared to $1.01 the previous  year.  Although this
increase  was less than our  expectations,  we are  confident  that the earnings
momentum is good for 1999. Several  investments were made last year that will be
valuable contributors to future earnings. We opened a new banking center at both
Heritage Bank and NCF Bank, to provide greater  convenience to current customers
and an opportunity  to attract new business.  A mortgage  origination  group was
created that generated  record levels of mortgages in the fourth quarter of last
year. In addition,  our deposit and loan services  groups were  strengthened  to
support  our robust  growth and our  forecast  for  commercial  loan and deposit
activities.
<PAGE>
Community  Bank  Shares'  success  is based on a very  fundamental  principle  -
locally owned and operated financial  institutions that have a commitment to the
success of their  community.  Each of our banking  affiliates  has strong  local
boards of directors who are led by successful  business people and are dedicated
to assisting  management  in our pursuit of new  business.  These  directors are
integral to our strategies and success.  We empower our staff, which allows them
to  provide  timely  responses  to  customer  and  prospect  needs.  This  local
decision-making  process is a key difference  between our  organization  and our
competitors.  As this  concept  continues  to work for us,  one of the  greatest
benefits has been the high level of referrals and testimonials  from our current
customers.  We appreciate  the support from these  customers,  and we promise to
deliver the level of performance that is expected.

A key  attribute to the success of any company is the quality and  commitment of
its people.  Our  organization  is  fortunate  to have a group of  professional,
competent,  and caring  employees.  These people are the front line support with
our  customers,  and they  strive  to  deliver,  every  day,  the  best  service
available.  Many of our associates are active in civic and social organizations,
on a  voluntary  basis,  providing  their  time and  talent  to make each of our
communities a better place to live.

The  future of our  company  will be based on our  ability  to  deliver  quality
products and services that address the ever-changing needs of our customers.  We
accept the challenge to work  diligently  to continue to earn the  confidence of
our  shareholders  and customers.  We will pursue our 1999 objectives for growth
and  profitability,  while being  committed  to the economic  prosperity  of the
communities that we serve.

We would  like to thank you for your  support of our  company,  on behalf of the
directors, management, and our loyal employees.

Sincerely,

COMMUNITY BANK SHARES OF INDIANA, INC.

Vision:

An  interstate   holding  company  of  community  banks  and  financial  service
companies.

Community  Bank  Shares  endeavors  to  achieve  its vision by  partnering  with
financial  service   companies  who  understand  the  competitive   benefits  of
cost-effective  access to shared  operational and financial  areas. The partners
agree that these  areas are not  limited to, but  include,  operations,  product
services,  liquidity  and capital.  While the  affiliates  recognize  that these
services may be best obtained from the holding  company  structure,  each entity
maintains its competitive niche as a community-directed bank.


Business Philosophy:

In pursuit of its corporate vision and the implementation of its annual business
plan,  Community  Bank Shares of  Indiana's  foremost  concerns and those of its
associate  affiliates  will  always  be  these:  asset  quality,  the  safety of
depositors' funds, capital adequacy, the economic viability of its shareholders'
equity  investment,  and the general  economic  welfare of the customers and the
communities served.

Community Bank of Southern Indiana

[Community Bank Logo]

Dear Shareholders:

1998 was another  good year for  Community  Bank.  The net income of  $2,511,000
compares  favorably to last year's net income of $2,301,000.  Also, total assets
increased  $13,307,000,  to end the year at  $231,823,000.  Most pleasing is the
growth that was achieved in the business services division of our company. As we
restructure our balance sheet from its thrift origins, an emphasis on commercial
business  will be prominent,  while  maintaining  Community's  dedication to our
traditional  consumer  products.  A return on  equity of 10.76%  and a return on
assets of 1.14% are both respectable  ratios, when measured against peers in our
marketplace  in  general,  as  well  Community  Bank's  historical   performance
specifically.

Community's banking growth, and corresponding profitability, will remain focused
on our funding  sources.  While total  deposits  decreased  for the year,  total
liabilities  (funding  sources)  were  up  6.0%,  as  we  increased  the  bank's
utilization of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. This lower cost funding
source decreased our reliance on higher-costing certificates of deposit in 1998,
and this trend  should  continue  in the future.  As  competition  for  deposits
heightens from both our bank and non-bank  competitors,  Community will continue
to place an emphasis on core consumer and business checking accounts.

Loan  quality  remains  good with nearly  nonexistent  delinquencies  across our
various portfolios.  Despite our confidence in the lending function, however, it
seems prudent to build reserves, which at year-end totaled $798,000, or 0.56% of
loans  outstanding.  The reserve for loan losses, at year-end,  was in excess of
two times our under-performing assets of $391,000.  Like asset quality,  capital
has always been important to Community.  A 1998 year-end equity base of 10.3% of
assets is a ratio with which we feel comfortable.

A very important  vehicle that this document  provides is that of public thanks.
Our employees have contributed to this community with time and effort, and their
own money.  I am very proud to serve with them and for them.  Thank you all. The
directors of Community  Bank are without peer as a board.  They play an integral
role in both our past accomplishments and our future successes. To each of you I
say thanks, as well. A special thanks must also go to our customers and friends.
Without you,  all that is said above would not be  possible.  We look forward to
putting a new mark on our community this year as we move to our new headquarters
down the street.  Our Community bankers are more skilled and better trained than
at any  point in our  Company's  recent  history,  and we plan to prove  that by
providing you with an even more rewarding 1999.

Sincerely,

Heritage Bank of Southern Indiana

[Heritage Bank Logo]

Dear Shareholders,

l998 was an exciting  year for Heritage  Bank  customers,  employees,  and board
members. We saw the bank grow from $35 million in assets in 1997, to $56 million
in 1998, a growth rate of 60%. The  company's  net income grew from  $207,000 in
1997,  to  $254,000.  Through  diligent  work  from the  staff  and the board of
directors, we were successful in growing our customer base in Clark County. This
was  highlighted  by the opening of our new office on Highway 62,  where we feel
the growth opportunities are significant.

Our Heritage  Financial  Services  Group finished 1998 in record  fashion.  This
department  generated  fees in excess of $500,000.  This was attained  despite a
sometimes turbulent year in the financial markets.  The staff is well positioned
to build on this success in the coming year.

Throughout the year, the bank contributed,  in both financial terms and employee
volunteerism, to many charitable functions and local projects. These include the
New Hope Services, Inc. annual fundraiser,  the Windjammer Symphony concert that
was performed on Jeffersonville's riverfront, and the Clark County Youth Shelter
Christmas Drive.

We continue to provide personal and professional attention through several other
social  functions in 1998. These included our annual open house held in January,
the use of our  facilities  for the  viewing of  Thunder  Over  Louisville,  and
luncheons for investment and business customers and prospects.

As we  move  into  1999,  we  are  excited  about  the  opportunities  that  our
marketplace  is providing.  We pay close  attention to the  challenges  that our
industry faces,  and look forward to providing  financial  services to the local
community, in order to enhance shareholder value.

Sincerely,

NCF Bank & Trust Company

[NCF Bank Logo]

Dear Shareholders:

On May 6,1998,  NCF Bank & Trust Company was welcomed  into the  Community  Bank
Shares family. The past seven months have been a challenge,  as we implement new
policies and procedures,  learn new names and faces,  and adjust to a better way
of doing business.

NCF Bank & Trust Company is very proud to be part of Bardstown and Nelson County
and,  in  1999,  we will be  celebrating  75 years in  business.  Nelson  County
continues to experience tremendous growth, and the prospects for expanding NCF's
banking  services are  excellent.  We are continuing to analyze our product line
and look to expand and enhance the products  and  services  that we offer to the
community.  In August 1998, NCF Bank & Trust reopened the historic office at 119
E.  Stephen  Foster,  in  downtown  Bardstown.  Housed  in a  structure  that is
approximately 200 years old, this office will again allow NCF to serve the needs
of downtown Bardstown.  This expansion has allowed NCF to provide two convenient
locations for our customers to do business.

In 1998,  NCF welcomed  three  dynamic  individuals  to its board of  directors:
George Ballard,  Ken Rapier, Jr., and Dick Heaton. NCF is proud to be associated
with these local business leaders.

In late 1998,  longtime  NCF board  member John S. "Jack"  Tharp  retired.  Jack
joined  the Board in 1959,  and helped  lead NCF (then  Nelson  County  Federal)
through  many  decades of change in Nelson  County.  Thank you,  Jack,  for your
service and  devotion to this  institution.  You will  certainly  be missed.  We
regretfully said goodbye to Director Emeritus,  Ben T. Guthrie,  who passed away
on December 8, 1998.  Ben served on the Board for  forty-eight  years,  retiring
from active service in 1996.

The  directors  and  employees of NCF Bank & Trust  Company were pleased to have
Robert Hurst return to board  service.  An auto  accident  nearly  claimed Bob's
life, but he has fought back and, with the support of his family and friends, is
well on his way to a complete recovery. Welcome back, Bob!

In 1999,  NCF Bank & Trust  Company will be working hard to expand market share,
improve products and services,  and enhance  shareholder value. We are committed
to  making  Community  Bank  Shares a  successful  company  and NCF Bank & Trust
Company a great place to do business.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

This section  presents an analysis of the  consolidated  financial  condition of
Community  Bank Shares of Indiana,  Inc. (The Company) and its wholly owned bank
subsidiaries,  Community  Bank of Southern  Indiana,  Heritage  Bank of Southern
Indiana,  and NCF Bank and Trust Company, at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
consolidated  results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997,
and 1996.  This  review  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  consolidated
financial  statements,  notes to  consolidated  financial  statements  and other
financial data presented elsewhere in this annual report.

The Company conducts its primary business through its three subsidiaries,  which
are  community-oriented  financial  institutions offering a variety of financial
services to their local  communities.  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 Nelson County,  Kentucky,  including  surrounding
communities,  and the origination of commercial business loans. The subsidiaries
invest  excess  liquidity in U.S.  agency  securities  and, to a lesser  extent,
mortgage-backed securities.

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 subsidiary 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, net
gains on sales of loan and  securities,  deposit  account  service  charges  and
commission-based income, and its non-interest expenses, such as compensation and
benefits,  occupancy and equipment expense, and deposit insurance premiums,  and
income tax expense.

On May 6, 1998,  the Company  issued  740,974 shares of its common stock for all
the outstanding  common stock of NCF Financial  Corporation,  the parent holding
company of NCF Bank and Trust Company. NCF Financial Corporation was then merged
into the  Company  with the  acquisition  accounted  for  using the  pooling  of
interests  method.  Accordingly,  the Company's  financial  statements have been
retroactively  restated to include the  operations of NCF Financial  Corporation
for all  periods  presented.  Certain  reclassifications  have  been made to the
historical financial  statements of NCF Financial  Corporation to conform to the
Company's presentation.

Selected Consolidated Financial and Other Data

Changes in Financial Condition
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data.)

General:  At December  31,  1998,  the  Company's  assets,  which are  primarily
composed of the assets of the subsidiary banks, totaled $331,945, as compared to
$288,486 and $272,476 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Total assets
increased by $43,459,  or 15.1%, from December 31, 1997 to December 31, 1998 and
by $16,010,  or 5.9% from  December 31, 1996 to December  31,  1997.  The growth
during 1998 was fueled  mainly by the  Company's  increased  use of Federal Home
Loan Bank Advances (see the Borrowed Funds section) as a funding source. Most of
these funds were used to fund high quality commercial and consumer loans.

Investment Securities: The Company's holdings of short-term investments serve as
a source of liquidity to meet depositor and borrower funding  requirements.  The
Company  holds  both cash and  interest-bearing  deposits  with banks to fulfill
these needs. Cash and interest-bearing deposits with banks increased $4,846 from
the balance of $16,794 at December 31, 1997 to $21,640 at December 31, 1998, due
to a large unexpected governmental deposit that was invested in short-term funds
as of December 31, 1998. Excluding this large item,  management actually reduced
short-term  liquidity in 1998 in order to increase the yield on earning  assets.
The increase in cash and  interest-bearing  deposits with banks was only $655 in
1997.

In addition to short-term investments,  the Company invests in intermediate- and
longer-term  securities for both future liquidity and as a significant source of
interest income.  Investment securities (excluding  mortgage-backed  securities)
consist primarily of U.S. Government and agency obligations and totaled $62,588,
$66,653,  and $55,346 at December  31,  1998,  1997,  1996  respectively.  Total
outstanding   investment   securities  other  than  mortgage-backed   securities
decreased  by $6,100,  or 6.1%,  in 1998, and increased  $11,307,  or 20.4%,  in
1997.   The  decrease  in  investment   securities  in  1998  was  offset  by  a
corresponding  increase  in  mortgage-backed  securities  (including  securities
available for sale),  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).  Mortgage-backed  securities  increased by $5,608 to $30,110
during the year  ended  December  31,  1998 and  decreased  by $2,997 to $24,402
during the year ended  December  31,  1997.  This  increase  in  mortgage-backed
securities in 1998 is a direct result of management's  intent to shift the asset
mix in the investment  portfolio into  mortgage-backed  securities for liquidity
purposes.

Loans Receivable:  Loans receivable  (including loans held for sale) amounted to
$199,575 at December  31,  1998,  $170,866 at December  31, 1997 and $165,696 at
December 31, 1996. These increases ($28,709 in 1998 and $5,170 in 1997) resulted
from the Company's  continued focus on increasing the yield on earning assets by
originating  and  retaining  high  quality  mortgage,  consumer  and  commercial
business loans.

The  following  table  presents  outstanding  loans by category  for each of the
previous three years:

</TABLE>

The restructuring of the loan portfolio from a residential mortgage loan bias to
a portfolio  weighted more heavily toward  commercial real estate and commercial
business loans is the result of management's balance sheet composition strategy,
in which  assets are  shifted  into  higher-yielding  commercial  loans  without
sacrificing credit quality.

The loan portfolio contains no loans to foreign governments, foreign enterprises
or  foreign   operations   of   domestic   corporations.   The  Company  has  no
concentrations  of loans in the same or similar  industries  that  exceed 10% of
total loans.

Selected Consolidated Financial and Other Data

Non-performing Assets: Non-performing assets may consist of 1) non-accrual loans
for which the ultimate  collectibility  of interest is uncertain,  but for which
some or all the principal is considered collectible, 2) restructured loans which
have  had an  alteration  to the  original  interest  rate,  repayment  terms or
principal  balance because of a deterioration in the financial  condition of the
borrower,  or 3) loans  more than 90 days past due but still  accruing  interest
because that interest has been determined to be ultimately collectible. Impaired
loans covered by Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) 114 and 118 are defined by
the Company as non-accrual loans.  Non-performing assets also include other real
estate owned which has been acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed
in lieu of foreclosure.  Other real estate owned is carried at the lower of cost
or fair value less estimated  selling costs, and is actively  marketed for sale.
The following table presents information  pertaining to non-performing assets as
of December 31, for each of the past three years.

</TABLE>
(1)  Represents  the book value of  property  acquired  by the  Company  through
foreclosure  or deed in lieu of  foreclosure.  Foreclosed  real estate  acquired
through  foreclosure  or deed in lieu of foreclosure is recorded at the lower of
its cost or fair value less estimated cost to sell.

These ratios indicate strong  economies in the local market areas of each of the
subsidiary  banks.  However,  management  also  attributes the strength of these
ratios to stringent credit quality requirements and the utilization of effective
underwriting procedures.

Allowance for Loan Losses:  Management of each  subsidiary  bank, in conjunction
with the Company's internal asset review committee,  maintains the allowance for
loan losses at a level that is sufficient  to absorb  credit losses  inherent in
the loan portfolio.  Management bases the level of the allowance for loan losses
on its evaluation of the  collectibility  of the loan  portfolio,  including the
composition of the portfolio, historical loan loss experience, specific impaired
loans,  and general  economic  conditions.  Allowances  for  impaired  loans are
generally  determined  based  on  collateral  values  or the  present  value  of
estimated cash flows.  The allowance for loan losses is increased by a provision
for loan  losses,  which is charged to expense,  and reduced by  charge-offs  of
specific loans, net of recoveries. Changes in the allowance relating to impaired
loans are charged or credited  directly to the provision  for loans  losses.  At
December 31, 1998, each subsidiary  bank's general allowance for loan losses met
or exceeded the minimum loan loss reserve  standard  established by the internal
asset review  committee  for each  subsidiary  bank.  At December 31, 1998,  the
Company's  allowance for loan losses  totaled  $1,276,  as compared to $1,014 at
December 31, 1997.  The allowance for loan losses was $816 at December 31, 1996.
At December 31, 1998, the Company's allowance represented .63% of the total loan
portfolio (excluding loans classified as held for sale). Statements made in this
section   regarding   the  adequacy  of  the   allowance  for  loan  losses  are
forward-looking  statements  that  may  or  may  not  be  accurate  due  to  the
impossibility of predicting future events. Because of uncertainties intrinsic in
the estimation process,  management's  estimate of credit losses inherent in the
loan portfolio and the related allowance may differ from actual results.

Deposits:  December 31, 1996.  The subsidiary  banks do not generally  engage in
sporadic  increases  or  decreases  in interest  rates paid or offer the highest
rates  available in their deposit  markets  except upon specific  occasions when
market conditions have created  opportunities to attract  longer-term  deposits.
The following  table presents  outstanding  deposits by category for each of the
previous three years:

</TABLE>

The above table  demonstrates  that  transaction  accounts  have  increased as a
percentage  of total  deposits  over the last three  years,  a direct  result of
management's  balance sheet  composition  strategy in which  lower-cost  funding
sources such as transaction accounts, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and retail
repurchase  agreements  are used to replace  higher-cost  time  deposits  on the
liability side of the balance sheet.

Borrowed Funds: In addition to deposits,  the Company also receives funding from
Federal Home Loan Bank advances and retail repurchase agreements. As competition
for  deposits  becomes  increasingly  aggressive,   both  from  other  financial
institutions  and other,  newer  competitors such as mutual funds, the bank uses
these other sources of funding to meet its  shorter-term  needs while continuing
its strategy of attracting long-term deposit relationships.

Advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis amounted to $56,000, $27,000, and $23,000
at  December  31,  1998,  1997,  and 1996,  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 that are matched to the term of such investments
at a positive interest rate spread. The  weighted-average  rate on FHLB advances
amounted to 5.11%,  5.76%,  and 5.75% at December 31, 1998,  1997, and 1996. The
subsidiary  banks use FHLB advances to fund lending and  investment  activities,
withdrawals  from  deposit  accounts  and  other  ordinary  course  of  business
activities.  The maximum  month-end balance at any time during 1998 was $56,000,
and the average balance for the year was $40,081.

Retail  repurchase   agreements  represent  overnight  borrowings  from  deposit
customers  secured by debt  securities  owned by, and under the  control of, the
subsidiary  banks.  At  December  31,  1998 the  Company  had retail  repurchase
agreements  outstanding of $19,499, as compared to $12,142 at December 31, 1997.
The $7,357 increase in repurchase  agreements  reflects an additional benefit of
commercial loan generation by the subsidiary  banks;  many commercial  customers
utilize repurchase agreements to maximize their  interest-earning  capacity. The
weighted-average interest rate for these instruments was 4.10%, 4.77%, and 4.47%
at December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The maximum month-end balance
at any time  during  1998 was  $19,499,  and the  average  balance  for 1998 was
$14,902.

Stockholders'  Equity:  Stockholders'  equity increased from $39,701 at December
31,  1997 to  $41,386  at  December  31,  1998.  Growth in  capital  was  mainly
attributable to periodic net income less dividends paid to shareholders.

General:  The Company reported net income of $2,398,  $2,713, and $2,012 for the
years ended  December 31,  1998,  1997,  and 1996,  respectively.  In 1998,  the
Company incurred non-recurring  merger-related  expenses in conjunction with its
acquisition of NCF Financial  Corporation as explained  above. In addition,  the
Company also incurred  non-recurring  defined-benefit  compensation  expenses in
1998 (See the Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for a more complete
explanation  of the  Company's  benefit  plans).  The  pre-tax  impact  of these
non-recurring  charges was $998 in 1998, with an after-tax reduction to 1998 net
income of $601. In 1996, a one-time special assessment of $1,276 was paid to the
Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund  (SAIF) as required  for all SAIF  insured
financial institutions. The after-tax impact of this charge reduced earnings for
the year by approximately $779. The following table discloses net income and net
income per  share,  basic and  diluted,  excluding  the effect of  non-recurring
charges, net of tax, over the last three years.

</TABLE>
The following discussion is an analysis of the critical components of net income
for the years 1998, 1997, and 1996.

Net  Interest  Income.  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. Net interest income has continued to improve each
year as the  asset  and  deposit  mix  has  changed  to  that  of a  traditional
commercial  bank  structure  with higher  concentrations  of consumer  and small
business  loans  on the  asset  side,  and  lower-cost  funding  sources  on the
liability side of the balance sheet.  Net interest income improved each year and
totaled $9,736,  $9,015 and $8,151 for 1998, 1997, and 1996,  respectively.  The
net yield on  earning  assets  has grown  steadily  over the past  three  years,
growing from 3.21% in 1996 to 3.29% in 1997, and finally to 3.38% for 1998.

The weighted-average yield on interest-earning  assets has improved to 7.62% for
1998,  up from  7.55% in 1997 and 7.38% in 1996.  Interest  income  during  this
period grew from $18,757 in 1996, to $20,675 in 1997,  and finally to $21,944 in
1998. Both the volume and yield increases are a result of the shift in the asset
mix from  investments  to high  quality  loans as  management  has  continued to
implement its balance sheet restructuring strategy.

Controlling  the cost of our  sources of funds is one of the  Companyis  primary
objectives. The weighted-average rate on interest-bearing  liabilities decreased
to  4.71%  in  1998  from  4.80%  in  1997,  after  1997  had  increased  from a
weighted-average  rate of 4.73 in 1996.  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 maturity and repricing implications.

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.

Provision  for Loan  Losses.  Provisions  for loan  losses are  charged  against
earnings  to bring the total  allowance  for loan  losses to a level  considered
reasonable by management based on historical experience,  the volume and type of
lending  conducted by the subsidiary banks, the status of past due principal and
interest payments,  general economic conditions and inherent credit risk related
to the  collectibility  of the each bank's loan  portfolio.  Provisions for loan
losses  of  $354,  $226,  and  $128  were  made in years  1998,  1997,  and 1996
respectively.

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
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 has occurred over the past three years, going from $1,320 in
1996 to $1,450 in 1997, and finally to $1,829 in 1998.  Most of this increase is
attributable to gains on sale of loans,  loan  origination  fees, and commission
income on the sale of  alternative  investments  such as  annuities  and  mutual
funds.  Loan-related  non-interest  income  increased due to increased volume of
loan  originations  that  was  impacted  by  the  establishment  of  a  mortgage
origination group and a general decline in interest rates. Commission income has
increased as a result of a strong economy,  increased  investing awareness among
the  general  public,  and a  heightened  emphasis by the Company on the sale of
alternative investment products.

Non-Interest  Expenses.   Total  non-interest  expenses  in  1998  increased  by
approximately $1,455 compared to 1997, and decreased by $641 in 1997 as compared
to  1996.  The  large  increase  from  1997  to  1998  is  attributable  to  the
non-recurring merger-related and defined-benefit compensation expenses mentioned
previously.  Specifically,  in 1998 the Company incurred merger-related expenses
of approximately  $655 and  defined-benefit  compensation  expenses of $343. The
substantial decrease in expenses from 1996 to 1997 is attributable to a one time
assessment  of $1,276 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 $636 from 1996 to 1997.

The principal  category of the Company's  non-interest  expenses is compensation
and benefits,  which  increased by $585,  or 16.1%,  during 1998 and by $553, or
18.0%,  during  1997,  as compared to the  previous  year.  The increase in 1998
compensation  and benefits was  primarily  attributable  to the  defined-benefit
compensation  expenses of $343 outlined  above.  Excluding  these  non-recurring
expenses,  compensation  and benefits  increased $242, or 6.68%. The increase in
1997 compensation and benefits was primarily attributable to two factors: 


                                       14
<PAGE>
Selected Consolidated Financial and Other Data


1) the Company  recognized  increased expense associated with the curtailment of
its  defined-benefit  pension plan, and 2) new employees were hired in the areas
of business services, marketing, and internal audit.

In 1998,  occupancy  and equipment  expenses rose $108, or 20.6%,  mainly due to
increased  expenses  resulting  from the opening of two new branches at the bank
subsidiaries,  one at  Heritage  Bank and one at NCF Bank and Trust Co. In 1997,
occupancy and equipment expenses rose only $30, or 6.1%.

Continued  efforts to utilize  automation and  electronic  methods of operation,
coupled with Year 2000  compliance  expenditures  (see the Year 2000  Compliance
disclosure  below for more  information  on the Company's  efforts to reduce the
risk related to this  situation),  resulted in an increase of 13.7%,  or $68, in
data processing service expense to $563 in 1998. Data processing expense in 1997
was $495, an increase of 10.5% over 1996.

Other expenses including advertising,  postage, forms and supplies, professional
fees and supervisory  assessments increased by $222 in 1998 and decreased by $22
in  1997.  The  increase  in other  expenses  in 1998 is  attributable  to 1) an
increase  in  loan-related  expenses  due to an  increase  in  volume in 1998 as
compared  to 1997,  2)  miscellaneous  expenses  (supplies,  printing  of forms,
telephone, etc.) related to the opening of two new branches mentioned above, and
3) expenses related to consulting and professional service fees.

Income  Taxes.  Federal  and state  income tax expense  totaled  $1,524 in 1998,
$1,691 in 1997,  and $855 in 1996.  The effective  tax rates  amounted to 38.9%,
38.4%,  and 29.8% in 1998,  1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The lower tax rate in
1996 was attributable to a deferred income tax credit of $213 due to a change in
the  tax law  relating  to the  allowance  for  loan  losses  and  the bad  debt
deduction.


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,  and loan commitments and to meet  asset/liability  objectives.  The
Banks'  primary  sources  of  funds  are  deposits,  amortization  of  loan  and
mortgage-backed  securities,  Federal  Home Loan Bank  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.

Liquidity  management  is both a daily  and a  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 Banks (FHLB)
of Indianapolis  and Cincinnati  that provide an additional  source of funds. At
December 31,  1998,  Community  Bank and  Heritage  Bank had $46,500 and $4,500,
respectively,  in outstanding advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis,  while NCF
Bank and Trust  Company  had  $5,000 in  outstanding  advances  from the FHLB of
Cincinnati.

The Company  anticipates it will have sufficient funds available to meet current
loan commitments and other credit commitments. At December 31, 1998, the Company
had  commitments  to: 1)  originate  loans of  $4,896,  2) fund the  undisbursed
portion of commercial and personal  lines of credit of $34,823,  and 3) fund the
undisbursed portion of construction loans in process of $1,844.

Certificates of deposit  scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31,
1998 totaled  approximately  $95,437.  Based upon past  pricing and  competitive
experience and familiarity with the subsidiary banks' customer bases, management
believes that a significant  portion of these  scheduled  maturities will remain
with the Company.

By all  measurements,  the Company and its subsidiary banks were considered well
capitalized  at December 31, 1998, at which time the Company had a Total Capital
ratio of 20.4%, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of 19.8%,  and a Tier 1 Leverage  Capital
ratio of 12.7%.

Market Risk Analysis

Qualitative  Aspects of Market Risk. The Company's principal financial objective
is  to  achieve   long-term   profitability   while  reducing  its  exposure  to
fluctuations  in market  interest  rates.  The  Company has sought to manage any
differences  between  the  repricing  of assets and  liabilities  that result in
exposure to changing  market  interest rates. In order to reduce the exposure to
interest rate fluctuations,  the Company has developed  strategies to manage its
liquidity position, shorten its effective maturities of certain interest-earning
assets,  and increase  the  interest  rate  sensitivity  of its asset base.  The
Company has sought to decrease the average maturity of its assets by emphasizing
the origination of short-term commercial and consumer loans for inclusion in its
loan  portfolio   while  selling  a  substantial   portion  of  its  longer-term
residential  mortgage  loans into the secondary  market.  The Company  relies on
retail and  commercial  deposits as its primary  sources of funds  because  they
generally  represent  a more  stable  source of funds than  alternative  funding
sources.

The  Company's  principal  business  is the making of loans  funded by  customer
deposits and, as necessary,  other borrowed funds.  Consequently,  a significant
portion of the  Company's  assets and  liabilities  are  monetary  in nature and
fluctuations  in interest  rates will affect the  Company's  future net interest
income and cash flows.  This interest rate risk is the Company's  primary market
risk exposure.  The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments
such as futures,  forwards,  swaps, and options. Also, the Company has no market
risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes.

Quantitative  Aspects of Market Risk.  The Company's  exposure to market risk is
reviewed on a regular basis by its  management.  The Company  measures  interest
rate sensitivity as the difference  between amounts of  interest-earning  assets
and  interest-bearing  liabilities which either reprice or mature within a given
period of time. The difference,  or the interest rate repricing  "gap," provides
an indication of the extent to which an institution's  interest rate spread will
be affected by changes in interest rates. A gap is considered  positive when the
amount of interest  rate  sensitive  assets  exceeds the amount of interest rate
sensitive  liabilities  and is  considered  negative when the amount of interest
rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets.
Generally,  net interest  income would be adversely  affected during a period of
rising  interest rates when a negative  cumulative gap exists within the shorter
time  horizon;  this is  because a greater  volume of  interest  rate  sensitive
liabilities  would be  repricing  upward  than the volume of  interest-sensitive
assets  that  was  repricing  upward.  Conversely,  in a  rising  interest  rate
environment,  net interest income would be positively impacted if a positive gap
existed within shorter terms. In a falling rate environment, net interest income
would be adversely affected if a positive gap existed over the short term, while
it would be positively  impacted if there were a negative gap in the short term.
The table below depicts the Company's interest rate risk at December 31, 1998 by
presenting the rate  sensitivity of the major categories of financial assets and
liabilities.  The time period  indicated in the table  represents the shorter of
the time remaining before the asset or liability either matures or is subject to
repricing. The Company's experience has indicated that demand, money market, and
savings  deposits of $53,441 are not interest rate  sensitive and have therefore
been included in the  "Thereafter"  gap or category.  The analysis  results in a
negative  one-year gap of $58,832 (excess of  interest-bearing  liabilities over
interest-earning assets repricing within one year).

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
Company's 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This  Annual  Report,  past and  future  filings  made by the  Company  with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other filings, reports, and press
releases made or issued by the Company and its subsidiaries, and oral statements
made by  executive  officers  of the Company  and  subsidiary  banks may contain
forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements may relate to such
matters as assumptions concerning future economic conditions and their effect on
the  economies  in which the  Company  and its  subsidiary  banks  operate,  and
expectations  for increased  revenues and earnings for the Company and its banks
through growth resulting from  acquisitions,  attraction of new loan and deposit
customers,   or  the   introduction   of  new   products  and   services.   Such
forward-looking  statements are based on assumptions rather than historical fact
and are therefore inherently uncertain and subject to risk.

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.

Year 2000 Compliance

The Year 2000 issue  arises  from the design of computer  operating  systems and
computer  software  programs  which  recognize  dates as only two  digits.  As a
result,  these  operating  systems and  software  programs  may  interpret  "00"
incorrectly as the Year 1900 instead of as the Year 2000, causing failure of the
underlying  operating and software programs.  The Company has formed a Year 2000
Committee  representing  all functional areas of the organization to ensure that
the Company is Year 2000 compliant. The Committee 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 ensuring Year 2000
compliance.  Any hardware or software  failures  due to Year 2000  noncompliance
could result in additional,  inestimable  expenses to the Company. At worst, the
Company would be unable to operate for some indefinite period of time, resulting
in potentially large but currently incalculable monetary damages to the Company.
The Company has identified the following  potential risks to its operational and
financial systems as a result of this issue:

1.   Customer banking transactions are processed by one or more computer systems
     provided by a third-party data processing  provider.  The failure of one or
     more of those  systems  as a result  of the Y2K issue  could  result in the
     subsidiary banks' inability to properly process customer transactions. This
     could  lead  to a loss  of  customers  by the  subsidiary  banks  to  other
     financial institutions.
2.   A number of the subsidiary  banks' borrowers  utilize computer hardware and
     software  to varying  degrees in the  operation  of their  businesses.  The
     customers and suppliers of those businesses may utilize  computer  hardware
     and  software as well.  Should the  borrowers or  businesses  on which they
     depend  experience  Y2K related  operational or financial  problems,  those
     borrowers  could  experience  cash flow  disruptions  that could  adversely
     affect their ability to repay loans to the subsidiary banks.

Selected Consolidated Financial and Other Data

3.   Deposit  outflows  prior to December  31,  1999 could  occur as  depositors
     perceive that the Y2K issue will impair access to their accounts after that
     date.
4.   The Company could incur increased  personnel costs if additional  staff are
     required  to perform  functions  that  normally  are  performed  by systems
     rendered inoperative by Y2K related problems.
5.   Certain utility services,  such as electrical power and  telecommunications
     services,  could be  disrupted  if those  services  experience  Y2K related
     problems. These disruptions,  depending on their duration, could hamper the
     ability of the bank to service its customer base.

Management  believes that it is not possible to estimate  potential lost revenue
associated  with the Y2K issue  because the duration and severity of Y2K related
problems can not be predicted.

Computer  operations  are a  crucial  part  of  the  Company's  daily  operating
processes and a comprehensive program has been implemented  (described below) to
verify that all internal  software will operate  properly.  The Company does not
internally  program  any major  operating  system of the  Company,  and has been
working with its outside vendors to ensure Year 2000 Compliance within its major
operating systems.  The Company uses these systems provided by outside suppliers
to maintain customer deposit and borrowing  information,  including  transaction
processing, and the Company's internal financial information.

The  Company's  exposure to  embedded  microchip  technology  is of little or no
consequence. Unlike companies that operate in manufacturing environments and may
use computerized robots,  process  controllers,  and assembly lines, the Company
has only to  assess  its  existing  HVAC  systems.  All such  systems  have been
evaluated and were determined to be free of embedded microchip  technology.  The
Company is currently constructing a new corporate headquarters building in which
all  systems  with  the  potential  for  embedded  microchip  technology  (HVAC,
elevator, and telephone system) will be certified Year 2000 compliant.

The Year 2000 Committee adopted a five-phase plan based on the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) to ensure readiness in dealing with the
Year 2000 Compliance issue:

1.   Awareness  Phase - Formation  of the Year 2000  Committee  with the goal of
     representing  all  functional  areas of the Company.  Formation of the Year
     2000 Plan, including the outlining of the following four phases. This phase
     is complete.
2.   Assessment Phase - Identification  of all systems affected by the Year 2000
     issue, such as hardware,  software,  networks,  ATM's, processing platforms
     (operating  systems),  electronic data  interchange  (EDI),  telephones and
     telephone systems, HVAC, security,  operations and general office machines.
     Once  identified,  the systems were prioritized for testing purposes within
     the following groups: A)  Mission-critical - vital to daily bank operation.
     Goal: All  mission-critical  systems to be tested and  corrected/updated by
     December 31, 1998, B) Important - difficult or costly to function  without.
     Goal:  All important  systems to be tested and  corrected/updated  prior to
     June 30, 1999. C) Non-critical - no significant impact to daily operations.
     Goal:  non-critical systems will be tested as time allows,  potentially not
     being tested prior to January 1, 2000. This phase is complete.
3.   Validation Phase - Comprises  identifying any necessary changes,  upgrades,
     replacement,  correction, or testing of systems identified in Phase 2. This
     phase is  substantially  complete and should be completely  accomplished by
     March 31, 1999.  Both  third-party  data  processing  providers the Company
     relies on for customer  processing have completed the necessary upgrades to
     ensure  Year 2000  compliance.  The  Company  had tested  these  systems by
     February 28, 1999 for Year 2000 compliance, and all major systems passed.
4.   Implementation  Phase - Comprises  placing any corrective action identified
     during the  Validation  Phase into action  (e.g.,  upgrading  or  replacing
     software  or  operating  systems to Year 2000  compliant  versions).  These
     corrective  actions will take place throughout the project,  following user
     acceptance testing and normal change control procedures.  This phase should
     be substantially complete by March 31, 1999.
5.   Contingency Planning Phase - By June 30, 1999, the Year 2000 committee will
     have developed a system  contingency  manual based partially on a standard,
     bank disaster  recovery format.  The plan will also  incorporate  solutions
     developed  by PC,  data,  and network  vendors.  This  manual will  address
     mission-critical  functions  only  and will be  written  with  "worst  case
     scenarios" in mind.

From a  customer  standpoint,  the  problem  could  affect  the  ability  of the
subsidiary  banks'  borrowers  to  service  debts  if their  direct  operations,
vendors,  or customers are adversely impacted by the Year 2000 Compliance issue.
The FFIEC  instituted  a Year 2000  examination  process to which the Company is
subject.  As a part of that process,  the Company was required to identify those
commercial borrowers that exceeded a set threshold and prepare written Year 2000
assessment work sheets.  As of December 31, 1998, all such assessments have been
completed at the Company's  subsidiaries.  The Year 2000 risk assessment for the
Company's  borrowers  will be a factor when  determining  the provision for loan
losses charged to expense throughout 1999.

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, 1998 and 1997, 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, 1998.
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.

The  consolidated  balance sheet as of December 31, 1997,  and the  consolidated
statements  of income,  stockholders'  equity and cash flows for the years ended
December  31,  1997 and 1996  have been  restated  to  reflect  the  pooling  of
interests  with  NCF  Financial  Corporation  as  described  in  Note  2 to  the
consolidated  financial statements.  We did not audit the consolidated financial
statements of NCF Financial Corporation and Subsidiary, which statements reflect
total assets of  $34,402,606 as of June 30, 1997, and net income of $327,661 and
$397,790  for the  years  ended  June 30,  1997 and  1996,  respectively.  Those
statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us,
and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for NCF Financial
Corporation and subsidiary as of June 30, 1997 and the years ended June 30, 1997
and 1996, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

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, 1998 and 1997, and
the  results of their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the years in
the  three-year  period ended  December 31, 1998 in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997 AND 1996


(1)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Nature of Operations

Community  Bank Shares of Indiana,  Inc. (the  Company) is a multi-bank  holding
company  headquartered in New Albany,  Indiana.  The Company's  southern Indiana
banking subsidiaries are Community Bank of Southern Indiana (Community Bank) and
Heritage Bank of Southern  Indiana  (Heritage Bank). On May 6, 1998, the Company
acquired NCF Bank and Trust Company, Bardstown, Kentucky. (See Note 2)

In addition to general  commercial  banking,  Community  Bank and Heritage  Bank
engage in mortgage banking and the sale of annuity  investments and mutual funds
through  eight  offices  in  southern  Indiana.  The  accompanying  consolidated
financial  statements  include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.
All  material  intercompany  balances  and  transactions  have been  eliminated.
Certain prior year amounts have been  reclassified  to conform with current year
presentation.

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 equity securities, and are stated at fair value. Amortization of
premium and accretion of discount on debt  securities 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.

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.

(1 -- continued)

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 cost or fair
value minus estimated costs to sell. 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.

(1 -- continued)

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights are accounted for under the provision of SFAS No. 125,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial  Assets and  Extinguishments
of Liabilities,  which became effective January 1, 1997. SFAS No. 125 superseded
SFAS  No.  122,   Accounting  for  Mortgage   Servicing  Rights,   but  did  not
significantly  change the methodology used to account for servicing rights.  The
Company  adopted SFAS No. 122 as of January 1, 1996.  The standards  require 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 employee stock ownership plans 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-based compensation plans.

Advertising

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.

New Accounting Pronouncements

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.

(2)      ACQUISITION

On May 6, 1998,  the Company  completed  its  acquisition  of NCF Bank and Trust
Company (NCF Bank) located in Bardstown, Kentucky by a merger with NCF Financial
Corporation (NCF). NCF Bank, a state chartered commercial bank with total assets
of $37.0  million  and $35.6  million  at May 6,  1998 and  December  31,  1997,
respectively,  became a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of the  Company  through  the
exchange of 740,974 shares of the Company's common stock for all the outstanding
common stock of NCF. The acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interests
and,  therefore,  the 1998  consolidated  financial  statements are based on the
assumption  that  the  companies  were  combined  for  the  full  year  and  the
consolidated  financial  statements  for prior years have been  restated to give
effect to the combination.

The  following  table sets forth the  separate  results  of  operations  for the
Company and NCF for the period from January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998:

                                               Company      NCF
                                                (In Thousands)

           Revenue                            $ 10,170    $ 1,415
                                              ====================

           Net income (loss)                  $    976    $  (149)
                                              ====================

Prior to the pooling,  NCF Bank's  fiscal year ended June 30.  Subsequent to the
pooling,  NCF Bank  changed its year end to December 31, to conform with that of
the  Company.  During the six months ended  December 31, 1997,  NCF and NCF Bank
reported  consolidated  revenue  of  $1,431,953,  net  income of  $187,006,  and
declared  dividends  of  $114,248.  In order to  reflect  this  change in fiscal
year-end, retained earnings have been increased by NCF's consolidated net income
for the six month period and decreased by the amount of the dividends declared.

(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  non-interest  bearing and  unavailable  for
investment. During 1998, the average balance maintained to meet this requirement
was approximately $972,000.

(4)      SECURITIES

Debt  securities  have  been  classified  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheets
according  to  management's  intent.  The  amortized  cost  and  fair  value  of
available-for-sale  and  held-to-maturity  securities and the related unrealized
holding gains and losses were as follows:

NCF Bank is a  participant  in the  Financial  Institutions  Retirement  Fund, a
multi-employer  defined  benefit  pension plan  covering  substantially  all its
employees.  Employees  are  fully  vested  at the  completion  of five  years of
participation  in the plan.  Contributions  to the plan were $3,264 for 1996. No
contributions were required for 1998 and 1997.

Employee Stock Ownership Plans:

The Company  sponsors  leveraged  employee stock ownership plans (ESOP) covering
substantially  all  employees.  The ESOP trusts have 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 trusts.  Dividends  payable on  allocated  shares are
charged to retained  earnings and are satisfied  either by the release of shares
or the allocation of cash dividends to participant  accounts.  Dividends payable
on  unallocated  shares are not  considered  dividends for  financial  reporting
purposes.  Shares held by the ESOP trusts 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  based on the average  fair value of shares
released  for  allocation  to  participant  accounts  during  the  year  with  a
corresponding  credit to stockholders'  equity.  Compensation expense recognized
for 1998, 1997 and 1996 amounted to $129,334, $88,535 and $64,378, respectively.

(10)     STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company applies APB No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its
stock-based  compensation  plans.  In accordance  with SFAS No. 123, the Company
elected to continue to apply the  provisions of APB No. 25.  However,  pro forma
disclosures  as  if  the  Company  adopted  the  compensation  cost  recognition
provisions of SFAS No. 123, are presented  along with a summary of the plans and
awards.

Stock Options:

The  Company's  stock  option plans  provide for the  granting of incentive  and
nonqualified  stock  options at  exercise  prices not less than the fair  market
value of the common stock on the date of grant.  All options  granted  under the
plans shall become vested and exercisable at the rate determined by the Board of
Directors at the date of grant.  Options granted under the plans 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.

The  following is a summary of the  Company's  stock  options as of December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996 and the changes for the years then ended:

</TABLE>

For options  outstanding at December 31, 1998, the option price per share ranged
from $14.89 to $21.00 and the weighted-average remaining contractual life of the
options was 8.9 years.

For purposes of providing the pro forma disclosures required under SFAS No. 123,
the fair value of stock  options  granted in 1996 and 1998 was  estimated at the
date of grant using the  Black-Scholes  option pricing model. The  Black-Scholes
option  pricing model was  originally  developed for use in estimating  the fair
value of traded options which have different  characteristics from the Company's
employee  stock  options and require  the use of highly  subjective  assumptions
which can materially  affect the fair value  estimate.  As a result,  management
believes that the  Black-Scholes  model may not  necessarily  provide a reliable
measure of the fair value of employee  stock  options.

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, 1998, no
awards had been granted.

Management Stock Bonus Plan:

On April 16, 1996,  NCF Bank and Trust Company  established  a restricted  stock
bonus plan as an  encouragement  for  directors,  officers and key  employees to
remain in the  employment or service of the bank.  The shares  granted under the
plan  were in the form of  restricted  stock  vesting  over a  five-year  period
beginning one year after the date of grant of the award.  Since the stock issued
is held in trust by the plan before some or all of the services  are  performed,
unearned  compensation  is  recorded  as a reduction  of  stockholders'  equity.
Compensation  expense is  recognized  pro rata over the period  during which the
shares are  earned.  The terms of the  restricted  stock  bonus plan  included a
provision  whereby all  unearned  shares  become  fully  vested upon a change in
control. As a result, all remaining unearned compensation cost was recognized in
1998 and the shares awarded were distributed.  Compensation  expense  recognized
for the  years  ended  December  31,  1998 and 1997 was  $186,992  and  $77,952,
respectively.

(11)     DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND RETIREMENT PLANS

The Company has entered into deferred  compensation  and  retirement  agreements
whereby  certain  officers are  provided  specific  amounts of income  following
retirement.  The benefits under the agreements are fully vested or vest over the
term of employment to the date of normal  retirement.  At December 31, 1998, the
Company  had  recorded  the present  value of the  expected  retirement  benefit
obligations for all such agreements. The Company recognized compensation expense
for 1998 of $560,750.

Effective January 1, 1996, NCF Bank and Trust Company established a supplemental
executive  retirement  plan for the bank's chief  executive  officer.  This plan
provides that upon retirement, the bank will pay a monthly retirement benefit in
excess of the amount provided for by the bank's  multi-employer  defined benefit
plan, not exceeding 2% of average monthly compensation multiplied by total years
of service.  As of December 31, 1998, the bank has recorded the present value of
the  expected  retirement  benefit  obligation.  Compensation  expense  for 1996
amounted  to  $95,895.  During  1997,  the bank  recorded  a  $25,099  credit to
compensation  expense  for a  reduction  in the  present  value of the  expected
retirement  benefit obligation as a result of a change in the retirement benefit
provided under the multi-employer defined benefit plan.

Effective  March 1,  1996,  NCF Bank and Trust  Company  approved  a  director's
consultation  and  retirement  plan to provide  each  director  with 15 years of
service a monthly benefit equal to the director's fees in effect prior to normal
retirement.  The bank has recognized  compensation  expense based on the present
value of the expected retirement benefit obligations. The plan provided for full
vesting of benefits following a change in control.  As of December 31, 1998, the
bank has recorded  the present  value of the fully  vested  expected  retirement
benefit  obligation.  Director's  retirement  compensation  expense of $171,000,
$126,842 and $21,513 was recorded in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

(12)     INCOME TAXES

</TABLE>
Prior to January  1, 1996,  Community  Bank and NCF Bank were  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, 1998 includes  approximately $5.5 million 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  $1.9 million at December
31, 1998.

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 and NCF 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, the banks will be required to
compute their  federal tax bad debt  deduction  based on actual loss  experience
over a period of years.  The  legislation  requires the banks 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,
1998, the remaining balance of the post-1987 reserves totaled $172,289 for which
a deferred tax liability of $58,578 has been recorded.

The  legislation  also provides that the banks will not be required to recapture
their pre-1988  statutory bad debt reserves if they cease to meet the qualifying
thrift  definitional  tests and if they  continue  to qualify as a "bank"  under
existing provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

(13)     DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The dividends  which the subsidiary  banks may pay to the Company are subject to
various  legal and  regulatory  restrictions.  At December  31,  1998,  retained
earnings of  subsidiary  banks  available  for the payment of dividends  without
approval by the state regulatory authorities was approximately $3.2 million.

(14)     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,
1998,  that  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries   meet  all  capital  adequacy
requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 1998, 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.

(16)     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 15).  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  credit-worthiness  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.

(17 - continued)

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.

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. A reasonable  estimate
of the fair value of these  financial  instruments is the unamortized fee income
and,  where  necessary,  reserves  for any  expected  credit  losses  from these
financial  instruments.  At  December  31,  1998 and  1997,  these  amounts  are
immaterial.
