the Company had no significant assets except the equity investment in the Bank's
stock, cash and no material liabilities and the Company had not conducted any
material operations. As a result, the consolidated condensed financial
statements appearing herein and the following discussion of results of
operations relate primarily to the Bank.

AmericanTrust has been, and continues to be, a community-oriented financial
institution offering selected financial services to meet the needs of the
communities it services. The Bank attracts deposits from the general public and
historically has used such deposits, together with other funds, primarily to
originate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. The Bank also
originates consumer loans, and to a lesser extent, construction loans. Through
its main office and three branch offices, AmericanTrust serves communities in
Howard and Miami Counties, Indiana.

The Company's results of operations depend primarily upon the level of net
interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on
its interest-earning assets such as loans and investments, and the costs of the
Company's interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and borrowings.
Results of operations are also dependent upon the level of the Company's
non-interest income, including fee income and service charges, and affected by
the level of its non-interest expenses, including its general and administrative
expenses. Net interest income depends upon the volume of interest-earning assets
and interest bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them,
respectively.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets increased by $6.3 million in the three months ended September 30,
1998 from $58.1 million at June 30, 1998 to $64.4 million at September 30, 1998.
Cash and interest-bearing deposits increased $2.6 million, and investment
securities increased $4.3 million due to the use of cash received in the Bunker
Hill branch acquisition. Total loans decreased by $1.6 million due to principal
reductions.

Deposits increased to $54.0 million at September 30, 1998 from $46.9 million at
June 30, 1998. The net increase of $7.1 million was due to the Bunker Hill
acquisition, offset by a decrease in the use of public funds. FHLB advances
decreased to $2.4 million at September 30, 1998 from $3.1 million at June 30,
1998 as a result of principal payments.

Stockholders' equity decreased $214,000 between June 30, 1998 and September 30,
1998 as a result of a net loss for the quarter of $10,000, a reduction of net
unrealized gains on securities available for sale, net of tax, of $32,000, a
payment of dividends to shareholders of $25,000, and a $156,000 purchase of
treasury stock. This decrease was partially offset by earned ESOP shares of
$9,000.

           COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD
                        ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997

General. The Company had a net loss of $10,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to net income of $61,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1997. The decrease of $71,000 is primarily as result of
increased legal expenses in connection with Bennett Funding Group, Inc. and
increased occupancy and data processing expenses due to the addition of Bunker
Hill and Kokomo branches which were not in operation during the three months
ended September 30, 1997.


                                       10

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $24,000 to $441,000 for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1998 from $465,000 for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1997. The Company's avenge spread increased from
2.51% for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 to 2.88% for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1998. The ratio of the Company's average
interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased from
105.57% during the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 to 101.07% for
the three-month period ended September 30, 1998.

Interest/Income. Total interest income decreased by $100,000 to $1.1 million for
the three-month period ended September 30, 1998 from $1.2 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1997 due primarily to a decrease in the
average balance of interest-earning assets to $59.5 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 from $66.0 million for the three months ended September
30, 1997. Average yields on interest-earning assets decreased to 7.13% for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1998 from 7.42% for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1997.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $140,000 to $621,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 from $761,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 primarily due to a decrease in the average interest-bearing
liabilities to $58.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998
compared to the $62.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997.
Average yields on interest-bearing liabilities also decreased to 4.26% for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1998 from 4.91% for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1997.

Provision for Losses on Loans. The provision for losses on loans decreased
$9,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 1997 as a result of management's quarterly assessment
of classified assets, provision for loan losses and the portfolio as a whole. At
September 30, 1998 and at June 30, 1998, the allowance for losses on loans was
1.14% and 1.15% of total loans, respectively.

Bennett Funding Group. The Company has a business relationship with Bennett
Funding Group, Inc. ("BFGI") which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
March 29, 1996. From 1992 to 1995, the Company purchased commercial lease
contracts covering business equipment from BFGI, for which BFGI acts as
servicer. At September 30, 1998, the book value of the Company's lease contracts
totaled $305,000. In addition, the Company had $674,000 in Short Term Dealer
Contracts with Bennett Leasing Corporation ("BLC") which was later included in
the bankruptcy proceedings. Newspaper reports have indicated that BFGI may have
utilized fictitious leases in some of its business activities. The Securities
and Exchange Commission has filed a criminal and civil suit against an officer
of BFGI which alleges various fraudulent actions including the sale of the same
leases to two or more buyers. Reserves of $216,000 have been recorded for
probable losses. The leases are currently on non-accrual status. BFGI continues
to service the lease contracts and has remitted $153,000 during the quarter
ending September 30, 1998, under the leadership of the court-appointed Trustee.
The Company is continuing to


                                       11
<PAGE>



evaluate the allegations against BFGI and BLC and the effect that the bankruptcy
filing will have on its security. Until the evaluation is complete, management
is unable to predict with any certainty the effects of the bankruptcy on the
Company.

Other Income. Other income decreased $14,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1997.
Increases in services charges on deposit accounts were offset by decreases in
commissions and other income.

Other Expense. Other expenses increased $106,000 to $611,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 from $505,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997. The increase in the three-month period was primarily a
result of increased legal expenses in connection with Bennett Funding Group,
Inc. and increased occupancy and data processing expenses due to the addition of
Bunker Hill and Kokomo branches which were not in operation during the three
months ended September 30, 1997.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased from a tax expense of $45,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to a tax benefit of $19,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1998 as a result of the decrease in pre-tax
income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Bank's most liquid assets are cash and interest-bearing deposits. The levels
of these assets are dependent on the Bank's operating, financing and investing
activities. At September 30, 1998 and June 30, 1998, cash and interest-bearing
deposits totaled $5.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The Bank's primary
sources of funds include principal and interest payments on loans (both
scheduled and prepayments), maturities of investment securities and principal
payments from mortgage-backed securities.

While scheduled loan repayments and proceeds from maturing investment securities
and principal payments on mortgage-backed securities are relatively predictable,
deposit flows and early repayments are more influenced by interest rates,
general economic conditions, and competition. The Bank attempts to price its
deposits to meet asset-liability objectives and local market conditions.

Liquidity management is both a short- and a long-term responsibility of
management. The Bank adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon
management's assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) projected purchases of
investment and mortgage-backed securities, (iii) expected deposit flows, (iv)
yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and (v) liquidity of its
asset/liability management program. Excess liquidity is generally invested in
interest-earning overnight deposits and other short-term U.S. agency
obligations. If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them
internally, it has the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank
of Indianapolis ("FHLB"). Federal law limits an institution's borrowings from
the FHLB to 20 times the amount paid for capital stock in the FHLB, subject to
regulatory capital

                                       12
<PAGE>


requirements. As a policy matter, however, the FHLB of Indianapolis typically
limits the amount of borrowings from the FHLB to 50% of adjusted assets (total
assets less borrowings). At September 30, 1998, the Bank had approximately $28.6
million of unused credit available to it under the above-mentioned borrowing
arrangement. At September 30, 1998, the Bank had borrowings of $2.4 million from
the FHLB of Indianapolis.

The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by
OTS regulations. This requirement, which may be varied at the direction of the
OTS depending upon economic conditions, is based upon a percentage of deposits
and short-term borrowings. The required ratio is currently 5.0%. The Bank's
liquidity ratios have consistently been maintained at levels in excess of
regulatory requirements and at September 30, 1998 and June 30, 1998 were 18.9%
and 8.8%, respectively.

At September 30, 1998 and June 30, 1998, the Bank had outstanding commitments to
originate loans of $461,000 and $250,000, respectively. The Bank anticipated
that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current commitments
principally through the use of current liquid assets and through its borrowing
capacity discussed above.

The OTS's minimum capital standards generally require the maintenance of
regulatory capital sufficient to meet each of three tests, hereinafter described
as the tangible capital requirement, the core capital requirement and the
risk-based capital requirement. The tangible capital requirement provides for
minimum tangible capital (defined as retained earnings less all intangible
assets) equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets. The core capital requirement
provides for minimum core capital (tangible capital plus certain forms of
supervisory goodwill and other qualifying intangible assets) equal to 4% of
adjusted total assets. The risk-based capital requirements provide for the
maintenance of core capital plus a portion of unallocated loss allowances equal
to 8% of risk weighted assets. In computing risk-weighted assets the Bank
multiplies the value of each asset on its balance sheet by a defined
risk-weighting factor (e.g. one- to four-family residential loans carry a
risk-weighted factor of 50%).

At September 30, 1998, the Bank's tangible and core capital both totaled $7.0
million, 10.8% of adjusted total assets, which exceeded the minimum tangible
requirement by $6.0 million and the minimum core requirement by $4.1 million.
The Bank's risk-based capital at September 30, 1998 totaled $5.6 million, or
14.1% of risk-weighted assets, which is $2.4 million above the 8% requirement.

EFFECT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The consolidated condensed financial statements and related financial data
presented herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP which require the
measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical
dollars, without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of
money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the
increased cost of the Company's operations. Unlike most industrial companies,
virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary
in nature. As a result, interest rates


                                       13
<PAGE>




generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's
performance than do general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not
necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of
goods and services.

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000

The Company has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems to
identify applications that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue, and has
developed an implementation plan to address the issue. The Company's data
processing is performed primarily in-house; however software and hardware
utilized is under maintenance agreements with third party vendors, consequently
the Company is very dependent on those vendors to conduct its business. The
Company has already contacted each vendor to request time tables for year 2000
compliance and expected costs, if any, to be passed along to the Company. To
date, the Company has been informed that its primary service providers
anticipate that all reprogramming efforts will be completed by December 31,
1999, allowing the Company adequate time for testing. Certain other vendors have
not yet responded, however, the Company will pursue other options if it appears
that these vendors will be unable to comply. Management does not expect these
costs to have a significant impact on its financial position or results of
operations however, there can be no assurance that the vendors' systems will be
2000 compliant, consequently the Company could incur incremental costs to
convert to another vendor. The Company has identified certain of its hardware
and software equipment that will not be Year 2000 compliant and intends to
purchase new equipment and software prior to March 31, 1999. These capital
expenditures are expected to total approximately $250,000.
