                                     PART I
Item 1.       Business.

General

         Logansport  Financial Corp. (the "Holding  Company" and,  together with
the Bank (as defined below), the "Company") is an Indiana corporation  organized
in February,  1995, to become a unitary  savings and loan holding  company.  The
Holding  Company  became a unitary  savings and loan  holding  company  upon the
conversion of Logansport  Savings Bank,  FSB (the "Bank") from a federal  mutual
savings bank to a federal  stock  savings bank on June 13, 1995.  The  principal
asset of the  Holding  Company  consists  of 100% of the issued and  outstanding
shares of common stock,  $.01 par value per share,  of the Bank.  The Bank began
operations in Logansport,  Indiana under the name  Logansport  Building and Loan
Association  in 1925. In 1962,  the Bank changed its name to Logansport  Savings
and Loan  Association,  and in 1992, the Bank  converted to a federally  charted
savings bank known as Logansport Savings Bank, FSB. The Bank serves the needs of
residents of primarily Cass County, Indiana.

         The  Bank  is  the  oldest  financial   institution   headquartered  in
Logansport,  Indiana.  Management  believes  the  Bank  has  developed  a  solid
reputation  among its loyal  customer base because of its commitment to personal
service and its strong support of the local community.  The Bank offers a number
of consumer and  commercial  financial  services.  These services  include:  (i)
residential  real estate loans;  (ii) home equity loans;  (iii) home improvement
loans;  (iv)  construction  loans; (v) share loans;  (vi) commercial real estate
loans; (vii) multi-family loans;  (viii) consumer loans; (ix) NOW accounts;  (x)
passbook  savings  accounts;  (xi)  certificates of deposit;  (xii) consumer and
commercial demand deposit accounts;  and (xiii) individual  retirement accounts.
The  Holding  Company  and the Bank  conduct  business  out of their main office
located  in  Logansport,  Indiana.  The  Bank  is and  historically  has  been a
significant  real estate  mortgage lender in Cass County,  Indiana,  originating
approximately  27.8% of the mortgage loan volume recorded in Cass County by Cass
County institutions during the year ended December 31, 1997.

         The Bank  historically has  concentrated its lending  activities on the
origination  of  loans  secured  by  first  mortgage  liens  for  the  purchase,
construction  or refinancing of one- to four-family  residential  real property.
One- to four-family residential mortgage loans continue to be the major focus of
the Bank's loan  origination  activities,  representing  72.5% of the  Company's
total loan  portfolio at December 31,  1997.  The Bank also offers  multi-family
mortgage loans,  commercial real estate loans,  construction loans, and consumer
loans.  Mortgage loans secured by  multi-family  properties and commercial  real
estate totaled approximately 2.9% and 5.0%, respectively, of the Company's total
loan portfolio at December 31, 1997.  Residential,  multi-family  and commercial
real estate  construction loans constituted  approximately 2.1% of the Company's
total loan portfolio at December 31, 1997. Installment,  share, home equity, and
home  improvement  loans  constituted  approximately  8.4%, .5%, 1.1%, and 7.8%,
respectively, of the Company's total loan portfolio at December 31, 1997.

         The  following  table sets forth  certain  information  at December 31,
1997,  regarding  the dollar  amount of loans  maturing  in the  Company's  loan
portfolio  based on the date that  final  payment  is due under the terms of the
loan.  Demand  loans  having  no stated  schedule  of  repayments  and no stated
maturity and overdrafts  are reported as due in one year or less.  This schedule
does  not  reflect  the  effects  of  possible  prepayments  or  enforcement  of
due-on-sale clauses. Management expects prepayments will cause actual maturities
to be shorter.

         Residential  Loans.  Residential  loans  consist  primarily  of one- to
four-family  loans.  Approximately  $46.4  million,  or 72.5%  of the  Company's
portfolio  of loans at  December  31,  1997,  consisted  of one- to  four-family
residential mortgage loans, of which approximately 81.6% had adjustable rates.

         The  Bank  currently   offers   adjustable-rate   one-  to  four-family
residential mortgage loans ("ARMs") which adjust annually and are indexed to the
one-year U.S. Treasury securities yields adjusted to a constant maturity.  These
ARMs have a current  margin  above such index of 2.75%,  or 3.00% if interest is
amortized and payments are due  bi-weekly,  and interest rate minimums  equal to
the  rate  at the  time of  origination.  Many  of the  residential  ARMs in the
Company's  portfolio at December 31, 1997 provided for a maximum rate adjustment
per year of 1%,  although  the Bank  began  originating  residential  ARMs which
provide  for a  maximum  rate  adjustment  of 2% per  year in 1995.  The  Bank's
residential  ARMs provide for a maximum rate  adjustment  of 5% over the life of
the loan. These ARMs generally bear terms of between 15 and 25 years.


<PAGE>

         The Bank also currently  offers  fixed-rate loans which provide for the
payment of  principal  and  interest  over a period  not to exceed 15 years.  At
December 31, 1997, 18.4% of the Company's  residential  mortgage loans had fixed
rates of interest.

         The Bank does not currently originate residential mortgage loans if the
ratio of the loan amount to the lesser of current cost or appraised value of the
property (i.e.,  the  "loan-to-value  ratio") exceeds 90% and does not currently
require private  mortgage  insurance on its residential  single-family  mortgage
loans.

         Substantially  all of the  residential  mortgage  loans  that  the Bank
originates  include  "due-on-sale"  clauses,  which  give the Bank the  right to
declare a loan  immediately  due and  payable  in the event  that,  among  other
things, the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the real property subject to
the mortgage and the loan is not repaid.

         The Bank's  residential  mortgage loans are not originated on terms and
conditions and using  documentation that conform with the standard  underwriting
criteria required to sell such loans on the secondary market. The Bank generally
retains its loans in its portfolio and does not  anticipate the need to sell its
non-conforming loans. See "-- Origination, Purchase and Sale of Loans."

         At December 31, 1997,  residential loans amounting to $350,000, or .55%
of total loans, were included in non-performing  assets.  See "-- Non-Performing
and Problem Assets."

         Commercial Real Estate Loans.  At December 31, 1997,  $3.1 million,  or
4.8% of the Company's total loan portfolio,  consisted of commercial real estate
loans. Of these loans,  $439,000 constituted  participations in loans secured by
commercial real estate which were purchased from other  financial  institutions.
The  commercial  real estate  loans  included  in the  Company's  portfolio  are
primarily secured by non-residential real estate such as small office buildings,
nursing homes and churches. The Bank currently originates commercial real estate
loans as adjustable-rate  loans indexed to the one-year U.S. Treasury securities
yields  adjusted to a constant  maturity with a margin of 4.75% above such index
or as  fixed  rate  loans.  Many of the  commercial  real  estate  loans  in the
Company's  portfolio at December 31, 1997 provided for a maximum rate adjustment
per year of 1%, although the Bank began originating  commercial real estate ARMs
which provide for a maximum rate adjustment of 2% per year in 1995. In addition,
the  maximum  rate  adjustment  over the life of the loan is 5%, and these loans
have a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 80%. The Bank underwrites these loans on a
case-by-case  basis and, in addition to its normal  underwriting  criteria,  the
Bank evaluates the borrower's ability to service the debt from the net operating
income of the property.  No single  commercial  real estate loan at December 31,
1997  exceeded  $307,000.  No  commercial  real  estate  loans were  included in
non-performing assets at that date.

         Loans secured by commercial real estate  generally are larger than one-
to  four-family  residential  loans  and  involve  a  greater  degree  of  risk.
Commercial  real  estate  loans  often  involve  large loan  balances  to single
borrowers  or groups of related  borrowers.  Payments on these loans depend to a
large degree on results of operations  and  management of the properties and may
be affected to a greater extent by adverse  conditions in the real estate market
or the economy in general.  Accordingly, the nature of the loans makes them more
difficult for management to monitor and evaluate.

         Multi-Family  Loans.   Approximately  $1.8  million,  or  2.9%  of  the
Company's  portfolio of loans at December 31,  1997,  consisted of  multi-family
loans.  These  loans are  generally  purchased  participations  and  secured  by
apartment complexes and other multi-family  residential properties.  At December
31, 1997, none of the multi-family loans included in the Company's portfolio was
included in non-performing assets.

         Construction  Loans. The Bank offers construction loans with respect to
owner-occupied  residential  real estate and, in limited  cases,  to builders or
developers constructing such properties on a speculative investment basis (i.e.,
before the  builder/developer  obtains a commitment from a buyer).  The Bank may
also purchase participations.


<PAGE>

         At December 31, 1997,  $1.3 million,  or 2.1%,  of the Company's  total
loan  portfolio  consisted of  construction  loans.  All  construction  loans at
December  31, 1997 were  residential  loans.  The largest  construction  loan at
December 31, 1997, was approximately $273,000 which included the construction of
residential  home and the purchase of land acreage.  No construction  loans were
included in non-performing assets on that date.

         Construction  loans  originated  by the  Bank  are  written  such  that
interest  only is payable  during the  construction  phase,  which is  typically
limited to six (6) months,  and following the  construction  phase,  a permanent
loan  is  made.   Inspections  are  made  prior  to  any  disbursement  under  a
construction loan.

         Consumer Loans. Federal laws and regulations permit federally chartered
savings  associations  to  make  secured  and  unsecured  consumer  loans  in an
aggregate amount up to 35% of the  association's  total assets.  In addition,  a
federally  chartered  savings  association  has lending  authority above the 35%
limit for certain consumer loans, such as property improvement loans and deposit
account  secured  loans.  However,  the  Qualified  Thrift  Lender  test  places
additional  limitations  on a savings  association's  ability  to make  consumer
loans. See "Regulation -- Qualified Thrift Lender."

         The Company's  consumer  loans,  consisting  primarily of  installment,
share, home improvement,  and home equity loans,  aggregated $11.4 million as of
December 31, 1997,  or 17.8% of the  Company's  total loan  portfolio.  The Bank
consistently originates consumer loans to meet the needs of its customers and to
assist in  meeting  its  asset/liability  management  goals.  All of the  Bank's
consumer loans originated by the Bank,  except home equity loans, are fixed-rate
loans, and substantially all are secured loans.

         Installment  loans,  totaling $5.4  million,  or 8.4% of total loans at
December  31,  1997,  are  fixed-rate  loans  generally  secured by  collateral,
including  automobiles,  and  are  made  for  maximum  terms  of up to 10  years
(depending  on the  collateral).  The  Bank's  installment  loans  also  include
"one-pay" notes, some of which are secured by residential real estate and all of
which  amortize at rates  similar to those for home  improvement  loans and have
maximum terms of 6 months to one year.

         Share loans,  totaling $313,000,  or .5% of total loans at December 31,
1997, are made up to 80% of the original account balance and accrue at a rate of
2-3% over the underlying certificate of deposit rate. Interest on share loans is
paid  quarterly.  Home  improvement  loans totaled $5.0 million,  or 7.8% of the
Company's  total loan  portfolio  at  December  31,  1997,  and are  close-ended
fixed-rate  loans  made  for  maximum  terms up to 15  years.  The  Bank's  home
improvement  loans are generally made only to those  borrowers for whom the Bank
holds the primary mortgage on the property, if any.

         The Bank also offers  open-ended  lines of credit  secured by a lien on
the equity in the borrower's home in amounts up to 90% of the appraised value of
the real estate (taking into account any other  mortgages on the property).  The
Bank's home equity loans are adjustable-rate  loans with interest rates equal to
the national  prime rate plus 2%, and payments equal to the greater of 2% of the
outstanding loan balance or $50. The Bank's home equity loans are generally made
only to those  borrowers  for whom the Bank holds the  primary  mortgage  on the
property, if any, and generally have a maximum term of 15 years. At December 31,
1997, the Bank had approved  $1,245,000 of home equity loans,  of which $685,000
were outstanding.

         The  Bank  also  offers  credit  cards to its  customers,  but does not
underwrite  the credit  cards or have any other  credit risk with respect to the
cards. The Company earns a fee upon the origination of the credit card accounts.
To date,  the income earned by the Company from offering  these credit cards has
not been significant.

         As a general rule,  consumer  loans involve a higher level of risk than
one- to  four-family  residential  mortgage  loans  because  consumer  loans are
generally  made based upon the  borrower's  ability to repay the loan,  which is
subject to change, rather than the value of the underlying  collateral,  if any.
However,  the relatively higher yields and shorter terms to maturity of consumer
loans are believed to be helpful in reducing  interest-rate  risk.  The Bank has
thus far been  successful  in managing  consumer  loan risk.  As of December 31,
1997, consumer loans totaling $81,000 were included in non-performing assets.


<PAGE>

         Letters  of  Credit  Securing  Tax-Exempt  Bonds.  The  Bank  currently
maintains  three  letters of credit,  each in the amount of $253,000,  to secure
payments  required under  tax-exempt  bonds issued to raise funds for low-income
housing projects in Franklin,  Kokomo and Michigan City, Indiana.  The issuer of
the  tax-exempt  bonds is permitted to draw against these letters of credit only
in the event it defaults in making  payments  required under the bonds,  and any
such draws made  against the letters of credit would be secured by a mortgage on
the subject  housing  project.  No draws  against any letters of credit had been
made as of December 31, 1997.

         Origination,  Purchase and Sale of Loans. In an effort to control costs
incurred by its mortgage customers,  the Bank currently  originates its mortgage
loans  pursuant to its own  underwriting  standards  which are not in conformity
with the  standard  criteria  of the  Federal  Home  Loan  Mortgage  Corporation
("FHLMC") or Federal National Mortgage  Association  ("FNMA").  If it desired to
sell its mortgage  loans,  the Bank might  therefore  experience some difficulty
selling such loans quickly in the secondary  market.  The Bank has no intention,
however,  of attempting to sell such loans.  The Bank's ARMs vary from secondary
market criteria because,  among other things,  the Bank does not require current
property  surveys in most cases and does not require  escrow  accounts for taxes
and insurance.

         The Bank  confines its loan  origination  activities  primarily to Cass
County, Indiana. At December 31, 1997, no loans were secured by property located
outside of Indiana.  The Bank's loan  originations  are generated from referrals
from real estate  dealers and existing  customers,  and newspaper and periodical
advertising.  All loan applications are processed and underwritten at the Bank's
main office.

         Under the Financial Institutions Reform,  Recovery, and Enforcement Act
of 1989 ("FIRREA"),  a savings association  generally may not make any loan to a
borrower or its  related  entities if the total of all such loans by the savings
association  exceeds 15% of its capital (plus up to an additional 10% of capital
in the case of loans fully  collateralized  by readily  marketable  collateral);
provided,  however,  that  loans up to  $500,000  regardless  of the  percentage
limitations  may be made  and  certain  housing  development  loans of up to $30
million or 30% of capital,  whichever is less, are permitted. The maximum amount
which the Bank could have  loaned to one  borrower  and the  borrower's  related
entities  under the 15% of capital  limitation  was $2.5 million at December 31,
1997. The Company's  portfolio of loans currently  contains no loans that exceed
the 15% of capital limitation.

         The Bank's loan approval  process is intended to assess the  borrower's
ability to repay the loan,  the  viability  of the loan and the  adequacy of the
value of the  property  that will  secure  the loan.  To assess  the  borrower's
ability  to repay,  the Bank  studies  the  employment  and credit  history  and
information  on  the  historical  and  projected  income  and  expenses  of  its
mortgagors.  Secured  loans up to $75,000  may be  approved  by the Senior  Loan
Officer,  and secured  loans up to $150,000 may be approved by the  President or
the  Executive  Committee.  Loans up to  $250,000  may be  approved  by the Loan
Committee.  All loans for more than  $250,000 must be approved in advance by the
Board of Directors.

         The Bank  generally  requires  appraisals on all property  securing its
loans and  requires  title  insurance  or an  abstract  and a valid  lien on its
mortgaged real estate.  Appraisals for  residential  real property are generally
performed  by  an  in-house  appraiser  who  is  a  state-licensed   residential
appraiser.  From  time to time,  the Bank also uses the  services  of  certified
residential  appraisers  who are not in-house,  including for loans in excess of
$250,000.  The Bank requires fire and extended coverage  insurance in amounts at
least  equal  to the  principal  amount  of the  loan.  It also  requires  flood
insurance to protect the property  securing its interest if the property is in a
flood plain.

         The Bank's  underwriting  standards for consumer  loans are intended to
protect against some of the risks inherent in making  consumer  loans.  Borrower
character, paying habits and financial strengths are important considerations.


<PAGE>

         The Bank historically has not participated in the secondary market as a
seller of its mortgage loans, but does occasionally  purchase  participations in
commercial real estate and multi-family loans from other financial institutions.

         The  following  table shows loan  origination,  purchase and  repayment
activity for the Bank during the periods indicated.

         Origination   and  Other  Fees.  The  Company   realizes   income  from
origination  fees, late charges,  checking account service charges,  credit card
fees, and fees for other miscellaneous services. The Bank currently charges $200
plus closing costs on its adjustable-rate  mortgage loans. Points may be charged
on  fixed-rate  loans.  Late  charges are  generally  assessed if payment is not
received  within a specified  number of days after it is due.  The grace  period
depends on the individual loan documents.

Non-Performing and Problem Assets

         Mortgage  loans are  reviewed  by the Bank on a  regular  basis and are
placed on a  non-accrual  status when the loans  become  contractually  past due
ninety days or more. At the end of each month, delinquency notices are sent with
respect to all mortgage loans for which payments have not been received. Contact
by phone or in person is made, if feasible, with respect to all such loans. When
loans are sixty days in default,  an additional  delinquency  notice is sent and
personal contact is made with the borrower to establish an acceptable  repayment
schedule.  When  loans are  ninety  days in  default,  contact  is made with the
borrower by the Senior Loan  Officer who  attempts to  establish  an  acceptable
repayment schedule. Management is authorized to commence foreclosure proceedings
for any loan upon making a determination  that it is prudent to do so. All loans
for which foreclosure  proceedings have been commenced are placed on non-accrual
status.


<PAGE>

         Consumer  loans are reviewed by the Bank on a daily basis.  Notices are
sent to borrowers  when any consumer  loan is 5, 10 and 15 days past due.  After
consumer  loans are 15 days  delinquent,  a late fee in the amount of 10% of the
payment is imposed until the loan is brought current.

         Non-Performing  Assets. At December 31, 1997, $537,000,  or .62% of the
Company's total assets, were  non-performing  assets (loans delinquent more than
90  days,   non-accruing  loans,  real  estate  owned  ("REO"),   troubled  debt
restructurings and non-accruing investments),  compared to $406,000, or .52%, of
the  Company's  total  assets at  December  31,  1996.  At  December  31,  1997,
residential loans,  multi-family loans,  commercial real estate loans,  consumer
loans and REO accounted  for 65.2%,  0%, 0%, 15.1% and 19.7%,  respectively,  of
non-performing  assets.  There were no non-accruing  investments at December 31,
1997.

         The table below sets forth the amounts and  categories of the Company's
non-performing  assets (non-accruing  investments,  non-accruing loans, and real
estate owned).  It is the policy of the Company that all earned but  uncollected
interest on all loans be reviewed  monthly to determine  if any portion  thereof
should  be  classified  as  uncollectible  for any loan past due in excess of 90
days.

(1)  Non-accruing investments consist of certain corporate obligations at market
     value for 1994 since included in securities  available for sale and at book
     value prior to 1994 since included in securities held to maturity. The book
     value at December 31, 1994 of  corporate  obligations  was $90,000.  Income
     collected and recorded on these securities during 1996 was $4,700.

(2)  The Company generally places loans on a non-accruing  status when the loans
     become  contractually  past  due 90 days or more.  At  December  31,  1997,
     $350,000 of  non-accruing  loans were  residential  loans and $81,000  were
     consumer loans. For the year ended December 31, 1997, the income that would
     have been recorded had the non-accruing  loans not been in a non-performing
     status totaled $36,000 compared to actual income recorded of $12,000.

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


<PAGE>

         An insured  institution is required to establish general allowances for
loan  losses in an amount  deemed  prudent by  management  for loans  classified
substandard or doubtful,  as well as for other problem loans. General allowances
represent loss allowances  which have been established to recognize the inherent
risk associated with lending activities,  but which, unlike specific allowances,
have  not  been  allocated  to  particular  problem  assets.   When  an  insured
institution  classifies  problem  assets as  "loss,"  it is  required  either to
establish  a specific  allowance  for losses  equal to 100% of the amount of the
asset so classified or to charge off such amount. An institution's determination
as to  the  classification  of its  assets  and  the  amount  of  its  valuation
allowances is subject to review by the OTS which can order the  establishment of
additional general or specific loss allowances.

         At December 31, 1997, the aggregate amount of the Company's  classified
assets,  and of the  Company's  general and  specific  loss  allowances  were as
follows:

         The Company  regularly  reviews its loan portfolio to determine whether
any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.

Allowance for Loan Losses

         The allowance  for loan losses is maintained  through the provision for
loan losses,  which is charged to  earnings.  The  provision  for loan losses is
determined in  conjunction  with  management's  review and evaluation of current
economic conditions (including those of the Bank's lending area), changes in the
character and size of the loan portfolio,  loan delinquencies (current status as
well as past and  anticipated  trends) and adequacy of collateral  securing loan
delinquencies,  historical and estimated net  charge-offs,  and other  pertinent
information  derived  from a  review  of the  loan  portfolio.  In  management's
opinion,  the  Company's  allowance  for  loan  losses  is  adequate  to  absorb
anticipated future losses from loans at December 31, 1997. However, there can be
no assurance that regulators, when reviewing the Company's loan portfolio in the
future,  will not require  increases in its  allowances  for loan losses or that
changes in economic  conditions  will not adversely  affect the  Company's  loan
portfolio.

Investments and Mortgage- and Other Asset-Backed Securities


<PAGE>

         Federally  chartered savings  associations have the authority to invest
in  various  types  of  liquid  assets,  including  U.S.  Treasury  obligations,
securities  of various  federal  agencies,  certain  certificates  of deposit of
insured banks and savings institutions,  repurchase agreements and federal funds
sold. Subject to various restrictions,  federally chartered savings associations
may also  invest a portion of their  assets in  corporate  debt  securities  and
asset-backed securities. The investment policy of the Bank, which is established
and implemented by the Bank's  Investment  Committee,  is designed  primarily to
maximize  the yield on the  investment  portfolio  subject to minimal  liquidity
risk, default risk, interest rate risk, and prudent asset/liability management.

         The Company's  investments  consist of U.S. government and other agency
securities,  mortgage- and other  asset-backed  securities,  state and municipal
bonds,  corporate  obligations,  marketable equity  securities,  certificates of
deposit,  and FHLB stock. At December 31, 1997,  approximately $16.3 million, or
18.9% of the Company's total assets, consisted of such investments.

         At December  31, 1997,  the Company had $9.9  million of mortgage-  and
other  asset-backed  securities  outstanding,  all of which were  classified  as
available for sale.  Other-asset  backed securities include securities backed by
automobile  receivables.  These  fixed-rate  mortgage-  and  other  asset-backed
securities may be used as collateral for borrowings and through repayments, as a
source of liquidity.  Mortgage- and other  asset-backed  securities offer yields
above those available for investments of comparable credit quality and duration.
Mortgage-backed securities are qualifying thrift investments under the Qualified
Thrift Lender test. See "Regulation--Qualified Thrift Lender."

         The following  table sets forth the carrying  value and market value of
the Company's investments and mortgage- and other asset-backed securities at the
dates indicated.

(1)  Market value approximates carrying values.

         Included in the  Company's  investment  portfolio  at December 31, 1997
were approximately $1.1 million (amortized cost) in derivative securities, which
were structured notes issued by the FHLBs.  The fair value of these  investments
was approximately  $948,000 at December 31, 1997. These structured notes,  which
are  not  obligations  of,  or  guaranteed  by,  the  United  States,  represent
obligations to repay  principal with interest that is either fixed or fluctuates
in accordance with an interest formula tied to various indices.  The interest on
the Company's  structured  notes generally  adjusts  quarterly or  semi-annually
based on certain indices such as the LIBOR and the CMT.

         Approximately  $1.1 million  (amortized cost) of these structured notes
with  approximate  fair value of $948,000 had  fluctuating  interest  rates that
adjust in the opposite  direction of changes in the index to which it is tied or
that adjust on the basis of a formula tied to two different indices, such as the
CMT and an  inverse  LIBOR  rate.  All of  these  inversely  or  dually  indexed
securities were classified as available for sale at December 31, 1997.


<PAGE>

         The average yield at December 31, 1997, of these derivative securities,
was 3.43%. In a rising  interest rate  environment,  it is anticipated  that the
yield on and market  value of these  securities  will  decline,  and may decline
substantially.

         The following  table sets forth  investment  securities,  mortgage- and
other  asset-backed  securities  and FHLB stock which mature  during each of the
periods  indicated and the weighted  average yields for each range of maturities
at December 31, 1997.

(1)      Securities  available  for sale are set  forth  at  amortized  cost for
         purposes of this table.

         In 1988 and 1989, the Bank purchased three investments in revenue bonds
with an aggregate  par value of $370,000 for an  approximate  purchase  price of
$359,000.  The  proceeds of the bonds were to be invested in low income  housing
projects. Pending investment in the housing projects, the proceeds were invested
in municipal guaranteed investment contracts backed by the former Executive Life
Insurance  Company  ("ELIC").  ELIC  was  placed  into  conservatorship  by  the
California  Commissioner  of  Insurance  on  April  11,  1991.  Liquidation  and
rehabilitation  of ELIC has proceeded in an orderly manner which has resulted in
substantial payment of these bonds to date. As of December 31, 1997, the Company
had received  principal  and interest  payments of $366,000 on these bonds,  had
recognized  losses to date of $54,000 and had ceased  carrying  the bonds on its
books.  The Company  anticipates  receiving  further  payments  on these  bonds,
although the timing of such payments is not known.

Sources of Funds

         General.  Deposits have traditionally been the Bank's primary source of
funds for use in lending and investment activities. In addition to deposits, the
Company derives funds from scheduled loan payments,  loan prepayments,  retained
earnings and income on earning assets.  While scheduled loan payments and income
on earning assets are relatively  stable sources of funds,  deposit  inflows and
outflows can vary widely and are influenced by prevailing interest rates, market
conditions and levels of  competition.  Borrowings from the FHLB of Indianapolis
may be used in the  short-term  to  compensate  for  reductions  in  deposits or
deposit  inflows at less than  projected  levels.  The Bank rarely  borrows on a
longer-term basis, for example,  to support expanded  activities or to assist in
its asset/liability management.


<PAGE>

         Deposits. Deposits are attracted,  principally from within Cass County,
through the offering of a broad selection of deposit  instruments  including NOW
and other transaction accounts,  fixed-rate certificates of deposit,  individual
retirement accounts, and savings accounts. The Bank does not actively solicit or
advertise for deposits outside of Cass County.  Substantially  all of the Bank's
depositors are residents of that county.  Deposit  account terms vary,  with the
principal differences being the minimum balance required, the amount of time the
funds remain on deposit and the interest  rate.  The Bank does not pay a fee for
any deposits it receives.

         Deposits totaled $60.6 million at December 31, 1997.

         Interest  rates  paid,  maturity  terms,  service  fees and  withdrawal
penalties are  established  by the Bank on a periodic  basis.  Determination  of
rates and terms are predicated on funds acquisition and liquidity  requirements,
rates paid by  competitors,  growth  goals,  and federal  regulations.  The Bank
relies,  in part,  on customer  service  and  long-standing  relationships  with
customers  to attract  and  retain its  deposits,  but also  closely  prices its
deposits in relation to rates offered by its competitors.

         The flow of deposits is influenced  significantly  by general  economic
conditions,   changes  in  money  market  and  prevailing   interest  rates  and
competition.  The variety of deposit accounts offered by the Bank has allowed it
to be competitive in obtaining funds and to respond with  flexibility to changes
in  consumer  demand.  The  Bank  has  become  more  susceptible  to  short-term
fluctuations  in deposit  flows as  customers  have  become more  interest  rate
conscious.  The Bank  manages  the pricing of its  deposits in keeping  with its
asset/liability   management  and   profitability   objectives.   Based  on  its
experience,  the Bank believes that its passbook,  NOW and  non-interest-bearing
checking  accounts  are  relatively  stable  sources of deposits.  However,  the
ability of the Bank to attract and  maintain  certificates  of deposit,  and the
rates paid on these  deposits,  has been and will  continue to be  significantly
affected by market conditions.

         An analysis of the Bank's deposit accounts by type, maturity,  and rate
at December 31, 1997, is as follows:

         Borrowings.  The Bank focuses on generating high quality loans and then
seeks the best source of funding from deposits, investments or borrowings. There
are  regulatory  restrictions  on advances from the FHLBs.  See  "Regulation  --
Federal Home Loan Bank System" and "-- Qualified Thrift Lender." At December 31,
1997, the Company had $4.0 million in borrowings  from the FHLB of  Indianapolis
which mature  within one year and $2.5 million  which mature in one to two years
and had a  weighted  average  interest  rate of  5.79%.  The  Company  does  not
anticipate  any  difficulty  in  obtaining  advances  appropriate  to  meet  its
requirements in the future.  The Company also had a $1.5 million note payable to
another bank due on March 5, 1997.  It was secured by 100% of the Bank's  common
stock,  and the interest was at the prime rate.  This note was repaid on January
16, 1997.

Employees

         As of December  31, 1997,  the Bank  employed 11 persons on a full-time
basis and four persons on a part-time  basis.  None of the Bank's  employees are
represented by a collective bargaining group.  Management considers its employee
relations to be excellent.

         The Bank's employee  benefits for full-time  employees  include,  among
other things, a Financial  Institutions  Retirement Fund ("FIRF" or the "Pension
Plan") defined benefit  pension plan and major medical and long-term  disability
insurance.

         Employee  benefits are considered by management to be competitive  with
those offered by other financial  institutions and major employers in the Bank's
market area. See "Executive Compensation and Related Transactions." Competition

         The Bank operates in North Central  Indiana and makes almost all of its
loans to and  accepts  most of its  deposits  from  residents  of Cass County in
Indiana.

         The Bank is subject to competition from various financial institutions,
including  state and national  banks,  state and federal  savings  institutions,
credit unions,  certain  non-banking  consumer  lenders,  and other companies or
firms,  including  brokerage houses and mortgage  brokers,  that provide similar
services in Cass County.  The Bank must also compete with money market funds and
with insurance companies with respect to its individual retirement accounts. See
"Regulation--Acquisitions or Dispositions and Branching."

         The primary  factors in competing  for deposits are interest  rates and
convenience  of  office  locations.  The Bank  competes  for  loan  originations
primarily  through the efficiency and quality of services it provides  borrowers
and through interest rates and loan fees it charges. Competition is affected by,
among other things,  the general  availability  of lendable  funds,  general and
local economic conditions, current interest rate levels, and other factors which
are not readily predictable.

                                   REGULATION
General

      As a federally chartered,  SAIF-insured  savings association,  the Bank is
subject to extensive  regulation by the OTS and the FDIC. For example,  the Bank
must obtain OTS  approval  before it may engage in certain  activities  and must
file reports with the OTS regarding its activities and financial condition.  The
OTS periodically  examines the Bank's books and records and, in conjunction with
the FDIC in certain  situations,  has examination and enforcement  powers.  This
supervision  and  regulation  are  intended  primarily  for  the  protection  of
depositors  and the federal  deposit  insurance  funds.  The Bank's semi- annual
assessment  owed to the OTS,  which  is based  upon a  specified  percentage  of
assets, is approximately $14,000.


<PAGE>

      The Bank is also  subject  to  federal  and  state  regulation  as to such
matters as loans to officers,  directors,  or principal  shareholders,  required
reserves,  limitations as to the nature and amount of its loans and investments,
regulatory  approval of any merger or consolidation,  issuance or retirements of
securities,  and  limitations  upon  other  aspects of  banking  operations.  In
addition,  the  Bank's  activities  and  operations  are  subject to a number of
additional  detailed,  complex and sometimes  overlapping federal and state laws
and regulations.  These include state usury and consumer credit laws, state laws
relating to fiduciaries,  the Federal Truth-In-Lending Act and Regulation Z, the
Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B, the Fair Credit Reporting
Act, the Community  Reinvestment Act,  anti-redlining  legislation and antitrust
laws.

      The United States Congress is considering  legislation  that would require
all  federal  savings  associations,  such as the Bank,  to either  convert to a
national bank or a state-chartered bank by a specified date to be determined. In
addition,  under  the  legislation,  the  Holding  Company  likely  would not be
regulated  as a savings and loan  holding  company but rather as a bank  holding
company.  This  proposed  legislation  would  abolish the OTS and  transfer  its
functions  among the other federal  banking  regulators.  Certain aspects of the
legislation remain to be resolved and,  therefore,  no assurance can be given as
to whether or in what form the legislation  will be enacted or its effect on the
Holding Company and the Bank.

Savings and Loan Holding Company Regulation

      As the holding company for the Bank, the Holding Company is regulated as a
"non-diversified  savings and loan  holding  company"  within the meaning of the
Home Owners' Loan Act, as amended ("HOLA"),  and subject to regulatory oversight
by the Director of the OTS. As such, the Holding  Company is registered with the
OTS and  thereby  subject  to OTS  regulations,  examinations,  supervision  and
reporting  requirements.  As a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company,
the Bank is subject to certain  restrictions  in its  dealings  with the Holding
Company and with other companies affiliated with the Holding Company.

      In general, the HOLA prohibits a savings and loan holding company, without
prior  approval of the Director of the OTS,  from  acquiring  control of another
savings  association or savings and loan holding  company or retaining more than
5% of the voting shares of a savings  association or of another  holding company
which is not a subsidiary.  The HOLA also restricts the ability of a director or
officer  of the  Holding  Company,  or any  person who owns more than 25% of the
Holding Company's stock,  from acquiring control of another savings  association
or savings and loan holding company without  obtaining the prior approval of the
Director of the OTS.

      The Holding Company's Board of Directors  presently intends to continue to
operate the Holding Company as a unitary savings and loan holding  company.  OTS
regulations  generally do not restrict the permissible  business activities of a
unitary savings and loan holding company.

      Notwithstanding  the above rules as to permissible  business activities of
unitary  savings  and  loan  holding  companies,   if  the  savings  association
subsidiary of such a holding  company fails to meet the Qualified  Thrift Lender
("QTL") test,  then such unitary  holding  company  would become  subject to the
activities  restrictions  applicable to multiple holding companies.  (Additional
restrictions  on securing  advances  from the FHLB also  apply.) At December 31,
1997, the Bank's asset  composition was in excess of that required to qualify as
a Qualified Thrift Lender.


<PAGE>

      If the  Holding  Company  were  to  acquire  control  of  another  savings
association  other than through a merger or other business  combination with the
Bank, the Holding  Company would  thereupon  become a multiple  savings and loan
holding  company.  Except where such acquisition is pursuant to the authority to
approve  emergency  thrift   acquisitions  and  where  each  subsidiary  savings
association meets the QTL test, the activities of the Holding Company and any of
its subsidiaries (other than the Bank or other subsidiary savings  associations)
would  thereafter be subject to further  restrictions.  The HOLA provides  that,
among other things,  no multiple  savings and loan holding company or subsidiary
thereof  which is not a savings  association  shall  commence or continue  for a
limited  period of time  after  becoming  a multiple  savings  and loan  holding
company or subsidiary  thereof,  any business activity other than (i) furnishing
or performing  management  services for a subsidiary savings  association,  (ii)
conducting an insurance agency or escrow business,  (iii) holding,  managing, or
liquidating assets owned by or acquired from a subsidiary  savings  association,
(iv) holding or managing  properties  used or occupied by a  subsidiary  savings
association,  (v) acting as trustee under deeds of trust,  (vi) those activities
previously  directly  authorized by the FSLIC by regulation as of March 5, 1987,
to be  engaged in by  multiple  holding  companies,  or (vii)  those  activities
authorized  by the Federal  Reserve  Board (the "FRB") as  permissible  for bank
holding  companies,  unless the Director of the OTS by  regulation  prohibits or
limits such activities for savings and loan holding companies.  Those activities
described in (vii) above must also be approved by the Director of the OTS before
a multiple holding company may engage in such activities.

      The  Director of the OTS may also  approve  acquisitions  resulting in the
formation of a multiple  savings and loan holding company which controls savings
associations  in more than one state,  if the multiple  savings and loan holding
company involved controls a savings  association which operated a home or branch
office in the state of the association to be acquired as of March 5, 1987, or if
the  laws of the  state in which  the  association  to be  acquired  is  located
specifically permit associations to be acquired by state-chartered  associations
or savings and loan holding  companies  located in the state where the acquiring
entity is located (or by a holding  company that controls  such  state-chartered
savings associations).  Also, the Director of the OTS may approve an acquisition
resulting in a multiple  savings and loan holding  company  controlling  savings
associations  in more than one  state in the case of  certain  emergency  thrift
acquisitions.

      Indiana  law  permits  federal  and  state  savings   association  holding
companies with their home offices  located outside of Indiana to acquire savings
associations  whose home offices are located in Indiana and savings  association
holding  companies with their principal  place of business in Indiana  ("Indiana
Savings  Association Holding Companies") upon receipt of approval by the Indiana
Department of Financial  Institutions.  Moreover,  Indiana  Savings  Association
Holding  Companies  may acquire  savings  associations  with their home  offices
located outside of Indiana and savings  association holding companies with their
principal place of business  located outside of Indiana upon receipt of approval
by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions.

      No subsidiary  savings  association of a savings and loan holding  company
may declare or pay a dividend on its permanent or  nonwithdrawable  stock unless
it  first  gives  the  Director  of the  OTS 30  days  advance  notice  of  such
declaration  and payment.  Any dividend  declared  during such period or without
giving notice shall be invalid.

Federal Home Loan Bank System

      The  Bank is a  member  of the  FHLB of  Indianapolis,  which is one of 12
regional  FHLBs.  Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central  bank for its members
within its  assigned  region.  It is funded  primarily  from funds  deposited by
savings  associations  and  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.  All FHLB advances  must be fully secured by sufficient  collateral as
determined  by  the  FHLB.  The  Federal  Housing  Finance  Board  ("FHFB"),  an
independent   agency,   controls  the  FHLB  System,   including   the  FHLB  of
Indianapolis.


<PAGE>

      As a member,  the Bank is required to purchase and  maintain  stock in the
FHLB of Indianapolis  in an amount equal to at least 1% of its aggregate  unpaid
residential  mortgage loans, home purchase contracts,  or similar obligations at
the beginning of each year. At December 31, 1997, the Bank's investment in stock
of the FHLB of Indianapolis was $494,000.  The FHLB imposes various  limitations
on advances such as limiting the amount of certain types of real  estate-related
collateral to 30% of a member's capital and limiting total advances to a member.
Interest rates charged for advances vary  depending  upon maturity,  the cost of
funds to the FHLB of Indianapolis and the purpose of the borrowing.

      The FHLBs are  required to provide  funds for the  resolution  of troubled
savings  associations  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  have
adversely  affected the level of FHLB dividends paid and could continue to do so
in the future.  For the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1997,  dividends paid by
the FHLB of  Indianapolis  to the Bank  totaled  approximately  $37,000,  for an
annual rate of 8.00%.

Insurance of Deposits

      Deposit Insurance.  The FDIC is an independent federal agency that insures
the  deposits,  up to  prescribed  statutory  limits,  of banks and  thrifts and
safeguards  the safety and soundness of the banking and thrift  industries.  The
FDIC  administers  two separate  insurance  funds,  the Bank Insurance Fund (the
"BIF") for  commercial  banks and state  savings  banks and the SAIF for savings
associations such as the Bank and banks that have acquired deposits from savings
associations.  The FDIC is required to maintain designated levels of reserves in
each fund.  As of September  30,  1996,  the reserves of the SAIF were below the
level  required  by  law,  primarily  because  a  significant   portion  of  the
assessments  paid into the SAIF  have been used to pay the cost of prior  thrift
failures,  while the  reserves of the BIF met the level  required by law in May,
1996.  However,  on September 30, 1996,  provisions designed to recapitalize the
SAIF and  eliminate the premium  disparity  between the BIF and SAIF were signed
into law. See "-- Assessments" below.

      Assessments.   The  FDIC  is  authorized  to  establish   separate  annual
assessment rates for deposit insurance for members of the BIF and members of the
SAIF.  The FDIC may  increase  assessment  rates for either fund if necessary to
restore the fund's  ratio of reserves  to insured  deposits to the target  level
within a reasonable  time and may  decrease  these rates if the target level has
been met. The FDIC has established a risk-based  assessment system for both SAIF
and BIF members.  Under this system,  assessments vary depending on the risk the
institution poses to its deposit insurance fund. An institution's  risk level is
determined  based on its  capital  level  and the  FDIC's  level of  supervisory
concern about the institution.

      On September 30, 1996, President Clinton signed into law legislation which
included  provisions  designed  to  recapitalize  the  SAIF  and  eliminate  the
significant  premium  disparity between the BIF and the SAIF. Under the new law,
the Bank was charged a one-time  special  assessment  equal to $.657 per $100 in
assessable deposits at March 31, 1996. The Bank paid this one-time assessment of
$335,000 in November  1996.  This  special  assessment  significantly  increased
noninterest  expense and  adversely  affected the Holding  Company's  results of
Operations  for the three months ended  September 30, 1996.  The  assessment was
fully  deductible  for both  federal and state  income tax  purposes.  Beginning
January 1, 1997,  the Bank's annual deposit  insurance  premium was reduced from
 .23% to  .0644%  of  total  assessable  deposits.  BIF  institutions  pay  lower
assessments than comparable SAIF institutions  because BIF institutions pay only
20% of the rate being paid by SAIF  institutions  on their deposits with respect
to obligations issued by the federally-chartered corporation which provided some
of the  financing to resolve the thrift crisis in the 1980s  ("FICO").  The 1996
law also provides for the merger of the SAIF and the BIF by 1999,  but not until
such time as bank and thrift  charters  are  combined.  Until the  charters  are
combined, savings associations with SAIF deposits may not transfer deposits into
the BIF  system  without  paying  various  exit  and  entrance  fees,  and  SAIF
institutions  will  continue  to pay  higher  FICO  assessments.  Such  exit and
entrance fees need not be paid if a SAIF institution  converts to a bank charter
or merges with a bank, as long as the resulting bank continues to pay applicable
insurance  assessments to the SAIF, and as long as certain other  conditions are
met.

Savings Association Regulatory Capital

      Currently,  savings  associations  are subject to three  separate  minimum
capital-to-assets  requirements:  (i) a leverage limit,  (ii) a tangible capital
requirement,  and (iii) a risk-based  capital  requirement.  The leverage  limit
requires that savings  associations  maintain  "core  capital" of at least 3% of
total assets. Core capital is generally defined as common  shareholders'  equity
(including retained income), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related
surplus,   certain  minority  equity   interests  in  subsidiaries,   qualifying
supervisory  goodwill,  purchased mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit
card relationships  (subject to certain limits) less nonqualifying  intangibles.
Under the tangible  capital  requirement,  a savings  association  must maintain
tangible  capital (core  capital less all  intangible  assets  except  purchased
mortgage  servicing  rights which may be included  after making the  above-noted
adjustment  in an amount up to 100% of  tangible  capital)  of at least  1.5% of
total assets.  Under the risk-based  capital  requirements,  a minimum amount of
capital must be maintained by a savings  association to account for the relative
risks inherent in the type and amount of assets held by the savings association.
The risk-based capital  requirement  requires a savings  association to maintain
capital  (defined  generally  for these  purposes as core  capital  plus general
valuation  allowances  and  permanent or maturing  capital  instruments  such as
preferred stock and subordinated debt less assets required to be deducted) equal
to 8.0% of  risk-weighted  assets.  Assets  are ranked as to risk in one of four
categories  (0-100%).  A  credit  risk-free  asset,  such as cash,  requires  no
risk-based  capital,  while an asset with a significant  credit risk,  such as a
non-accrual  loan,  requires  a  risk  factor  of  100%.   Moreover,  a  savings
association must deduct from capital,  for purposes of meeting the core capital,
tangible capital and risk-based capital  requirements,  its entire investment in
and loans to a subsidiary  engaged in activities not  permissible for a national
bank (other than  exclusively  agency  activities  for its customers or mortgage
banking subsidiaries). At December 31, 1997, the Bank was in compliance with all
capital requirements imposed by law.

      The OTS has  promulgated  a rule  which  sets  forth the  methodology  for
calculating an interest rate risk  component to be used by savings  associations
in calculating  regulatory  capital.  The OTS has delayed the  implementation of
this rule, however.  The rule requires savings  associations with "above normal"
interest rate risk  (institutions  whose portfolio equity would decline in value
by more than 2% of assets in the event of a hypothetical 200-basis-point move in
interest rates) to maintain  additional capital for interest rate risk under the
risk-based capital framework. If the OTS were to implement this regulation,  the
Bank would not be required to maintain  additional  capital at December 31, 1997
under the terms of the OTS proposed interest rate risk rule.

Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action

      The  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation   Improvement  Act  of  1991
("FedICIA")   requires,   among  other  things,  that  federal  bank  regulatory
authorities take "prompt corrective action" with respect to institutions that do
not meet minimum capital requirements.  For these purposes,  FedICIA establishes
five capital tiers: well capitalized, adequately capitalized,  undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. At December 31,
1997, the Bank was  categorized as  "adequately  capitalized,"  meaning that its
total risk-based  capital ratio exceeded 8%, its Tier I risk-based capital ratio
exceeded  4%,  its  leverage  ratio  exceeded  4%,  and it was not  subject to a
regulatory order, agreement or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital
level for any capital measure.

      The FDIC may order savings associations which have insufficient capital to
take corrective actions. For example, a savings association which is categorized
as  "undercapitalized"  would be  subject  to  growth  limitations  and would be
required  to submit a capital  restoration  plan,  and a  holding  company  that
controls  such a savings  association  would be required to  guarantee  that the
savings   association   complies  with  the  restoration  plan.   "Significantly
undercapitalized"   savings   associations   would  be  subject  to   additional
restrictions.  Savings  associations  deemed  by  the  FDIC  to  be  "critically
undercapitalized"  would  be  subject  to  the  appointment  of  a  receiver  or
conservator.

Dividend Limitations

      An OTS regulation imposes limitations upon all "capital  distributions" by
savings  associations,  including cash dividends,  payments by an association to
repurchase or otherwise acquire its shares,  payments to shareholders of another
institution  in a  cash-out  merger  and  other  distributions  charged  against
capital.  The regulation  establishes a three-tiered system of regulation,  with
the greatest  flexibility  being afforded to  well-capitalized  associations.  A
savings  association  which has total  capital  (immediately  prior to and after
giving effect to the capital  distribution)  that is at least equal to its fully
phased-in  capital   requirements  would  be  a  Tier  1  institution  ("Tier  1
Institution").  An  association  that has total  capital  at least  equal to its
minimum  capital  requirements,  but  less  than  its  fully  phased-in  capital
requirements,  would  be  a  Tier  2  institution  ("Tier  2  Institution").  An
institution  having  total  capital  that  is  less  than  its  minimum  capital
requirements would be a Tier 3 institution ("Tier 3 Institution").  However,  an
institution which otherwise  qualifies as a Tier 1 Institution may be designated
by the OTS as a Tier 2 Institution  or Tier 3 Institution  if the OTS determines
that the institution is "in need of more than normal  supervision."  The Bank is
currently a Tier 1 Institution.

      A Tier 1 Institution  may,  after prior notice but without the approval of
the OTS, make capital  distributions during a calendar year up to the greater of
(a) 100% of its net income to date during the calendar year plus the amount that
would  reduce by one-half its "surplus  capital  ratio" at the  beginning of the
calendar year (the smallest excess over its capital requirements), or (b) 75% of
its net income over the most recent  four-quarter  period. Any additional amount
of capital distributions would require prior regulatory approval.

      The OTS has proposed  revisions to these  regulations which would permit a
savings association,  without filing a prior notice or application with the OTS,
to make a capital  distribution  to its  shareholders in an amount that does not
exceed the  association's  undistributed net income for the prior two years plus
the amount of its undistributed income from the current year. This proposed rule
would require a savings association, such as the Bank, that is a subsidiary of a
savings and loan holding  company to file a notice with the OTS before  making a
capital  distribution up to the "maximum  amount"  described above. The proposed
rule  would also  require  all  savings  associations,  whether  under a holding
company or not, to file an application  with the OTS prior to making any capital
distribution  where the  association  is not eligible for  expedited  processing
under  the  OTS  "Expedited  Processing   Regulation,"  or  where  the  proposed
distribution, together with any other distributions made in the same year, would
exceed the "maximum amount" described above.

Liquidity

      Federal law requires that savings  associations  maintain an average daily
balance of liquid assets in an amount not less than 4% or more than 10% of their
withdrawable  accounts plus short-term  borrowings.  Liquid assets include cash,
certain time deposits, certain bankers' acceptances,  specified U.S. government,
state  or  federal  agency  obligations,   certain  corporate  debt  securities,
commercial paper, certain mutual funds, certain mortgage-related securities, and
certain  first-lien  residential  mortgage loans.  The OTS recently  amended its
regulation that implements  this statutory  liquidity  requirement to reduce the
amount  of  liquid  assets  a  savings  association  must  hold  from  5% of net
withdrawable  accounts and short-term  borrowings to 4%. The OTS also eliminated
the requirement  that savings  associations  maintain  short-term  liquid assets
constituting  at least 1% of their  average  daily  balance of net  withdrawable
deposit  accounts  and current  borrowings.  The  revised OTS rule also  permits
savings  associations  to calculate  compliance  with the liquidity  requirement
based upon their  average  daily  balance of liquid  assets  during each quarter
rather than during each month, as was required under the prior rule. The OTS may
impose  monetary  penalties  on  savings  associations  that fail to meet  these
liquidity  requirements.  As of December 31, 1997, the Bank had liquid assets of
$16.0 million, and a regulatory liquidity ratio of 37.4%.

Limitations on Rates Paid for Deposits

      Regulations  promulgated by the FDIC pursuant to FedICIA limit the ability
of insured  depository  institutions  to accept,  renew or roll over deposits by
offering  rates of interest which are  significantly  higher than the prevailing
rates of interest on deposits offered by other insured  depository  institutions
having the same type of charter in the  institution's  normal market area. Under
these regulations,  "well-capitalized" depository institutions may accept, renew
or  roll  such  deposits  over  without  restriction,  "adequately  capitalized"
depository  institutions  may accept,  renew or roll such  deposits  over with a
waiver from the FDIC (subject to certain  restrictions on payments of rates) and
"undercapitalized"  depository  institutions may not accept,  renew or roll such
deposits  over.  The  regulations  contemplate  that  the  definitions  of "well
capitalized,"  "adequately  capitalized" and "undercapitalized" will be the same
as the  definition  adopted by the agencies to implement the  corrective  action
provisions  of FedICIA.  The Bank does not believe that these  regulations  will
have a materially adverse effect on its current operations.

Safety and Soundness Standards

      On February 2, 1995, the federal banking agencies adopted final safety and
soundness  standards for all insured  depository  institutions.  The  standards,
which were issued in the form of guidelines rather than  regulations,  relate to
internal   controls,   information   systems,   internal  audit  systems,   loan
underwriting  and  documentation,  compensation  and interest rate exposure.  In
general,  the standards are designed to assist the federal  banking  agencies in
identifying and addressing  problems at insured depository  institutions  before
capital becomes impaired.  If an institution fails to meet these standards,  the
appropriate  federal  banking  agency may  require the  institution  to submit a
compliance  plan.  Failure to submit a compliance plan may result in enforcement
proceedings.  On August 27,  1996,  the  federal  banking  agencies  added asset
quality and earning standards to the safety and soundness guidelines.

Real Estate Lending Standards

      OTS  regulations  require  savings  associations to establish and maintain
written  internal  real estate  lending  policies.  Each  association's  lending
policies  must  be  consistent  with  safe  and  sound  banking   practices  and
appropriate  to the size of the  association  and the  nature  and  scope of its
operations.   The  policies  must  establish   loan  portfolio   diversification
standards;  establish prudent underwriting  standards,  including  loan-to-value
limits, that are clear and measurable;  establish loan administration procedures
for the  association's  real  estate  portfolio;  and  establish  documentation,
approval,   and  reporting   requirements   to  monitor   compliance   with  the
association's  real estate  lending  policies.  The  association's  written real
estate lending policies must be reviewed and approved by the association's Board
of Directors at least annually. Further, each association is expected to monitor
conditions  in its real  estate  market  to  ensure  that its  lending  policies
continue to be appropriate for current market conditions.

Loans to One Borrower

      Under OTS regulations,  the Bank may not make a loan or extend credit to a
single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of its unimpaired  capital
and surplus.  Additional amounts may be lent, not in excess of 10% of unimpaired
capital and surplus,  if such loans or extensions of credit are fully secured by
readily marketable collateral,  including certain debt and equity securities but
not including real estate.  In some cases, a savings  association may lend up to
30 percent of  unimpaired  capital and surplus to one  borrower  for purposes of
developing domestic residential housing, provided that the association meets its
regulatory  capital  requirements  and the OTS authorizes the association to use
this expanded lending authority. At December 31, 1997, the Bank did not have any
loans or  extensions  of credit to a single or  related  group of  borrowers  in
excess of its lending limits.


<PAGE>

Qualified Thrift Lender

      Savings  associations  must  meet a QTL  test.  If the Bank  maintains  an
appropriate   level  of  qualified  thrift   investments   ("QTIs")   (primarily
residential    mortgages   and   related    investments,    including    certain
mortgage-related  securities)  and  otherwise  qualify  as a QTL,  the Bank will
continue to enjoy full borrowing  privileges from the FHLB of Indianapolis.  The
required  percentage of QTIs is 65% of portfolio  assets  (defined as all assets
minus  intangible  assets,  property used by the  association  in conducting its
business and liquid  assets equal to 10% of total  assets).  Certain  assets are
subject to a  percentage  limitation  of 20% of portfolio  assets.  In addition,
savings  associations may include shares of stock of the FHLBs,  FNMA, and FHLMC
as QTIs.  Compliance  with the QTL test is determined on a monthly basis in nine
out of every twelve months.  As of December 31, 1997, the Bank was in compliance
with its QTL  requirement,  with  approximately  88.5% of its assets invested in
QTIs.

      A savings association which fails to meet the QTL test must either convert
to a bank (but its deposit  insurance  assessments and payments will be those of
and paid to the SAIF) or be subject to the following  penalties:  (i) it may not
enter into any new activity except for those permissible for a national bank and
for a savings  association;  (ii) its branching  activities  shall be limited to
those  of a  national  bank;  (iii) it shall  not be  eligible  for any new FHLB
advances; and (iv) it shall be bound by regulations applicable to national banks
respecting  payment of  dividends.  Three years  after  failing the QTL test the
association must (i) dispose of any investment or activity not permissible for a
national  bank and a savings  association  and (ii) repay all  outstanding  FHLB
advances.  If such a savings  association  is  controlled  by a savings and loan
holding  company,  then such holding  company  must,  within a  prescribed  time
period,  become  registered as a bank holding  company and become subject to all
rules  and  regulations   applicable  to  bank  holding   companies   (including
restrictions as to the scope of permissible business activities).

Acquisitions or Dispositions and Branching

      The Bank  Holding  Company  Act  specifically  authorizes  a bank  holding
company, upon receipt of appropriate regulatory approvals, to acquire control of
any savings association or holding company thereof wherever located.  Similarly,
a savings and loan  holding  company may  acquire  control of a bank.  Moreover,
federal  savings  associations  may  acquire  or  be  acquired  by  any  insured
depository  institution.   Regulations  promulgated  by  the  FRB  restrict  the
branching authority of savings associations  acquired by bank holding companies.
Savings  associations  acquired by bank  holding  companies  may be converted to
banks if they continue to pay SAIF premiums,  but as such they become subject to
branching and activity restrictions applicable to banks.

      Subject  to  certain  exceptions,  commonly-controlled  banks and  savings
associations  must reimburse the FDIC for any losses suffered in connection with
a failed  bank or  savings  association  affiliate.  Institutions  are  commonly
controlled  if one is owned by another or if both are owned by the same  holding
company.  Such claims by the FDIC under this provision are subordinate to claims
of depositors,  secured creditors,  and holders of subordinated debt, other than
affiliates.

      The OTS has adopted  regulations which permit nationwide  branching to the
extent  permitted by federal  statute.  Federal  statutes permit federal savings
associations to branch outside of their home state if the association  meets the
domestic  building  and loan  test in  ss.7701(a)(19)  of the Code or the  asset
composition  test of ss.7701(c) of the Code.  Branching that would result in the
formation of a multiple  savings and loan holding  company  controlling  savings
associations  in more  than one  state is  permitted  if the law of the state in
which the savings association to be acquired is located specifically  authorizes
acquisitions of its state-chartered associations by state-chartered associations
or their  holding  companies  in the state where the  acquiring  association  or
holding company is located. Moreover, Indiana banks and savings associations are
permitted  to  acquire  other  Indiana  banks and  savings  associations  and to
establish branches throughout Indiana.


<PAGE>

      Finally,  The Riegle-Neal  Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act
of 1994 (the "Riegle-Neal  Act") permits bank holding companies to acquire banks
in other  states and,  with state  consent  and subject to certain  limitations,
allows banks to acquire  out-of-state  branches either through merger or de novo
expansion.  The State of Indiana  enacted  legislation  establishing  interstate
branching  provisions for Indiana  state-chartered  banks  consistent with those
established by the Riegle-Neal Act (the "Indiana  Branching  Law").  The Indiana
Branching Law authorizes Indiana banks to branch interstate by merger or de novo
expansion,  provided that such  transactions  are not permitted to  out-of-state
banks  unless the laws of their home  states  permit  Indiana  banks to merge or
establish de novo banks on a reciprocial basis. The Indiana Branching Law became
effective March 15, 1996.

Federal Reserve System

         Under  FRB  regulations,  the Bank is  required  to  maintain  reserves
against its  transaction  accounts  (primarily  checking and NOW  accounts)  and
non-personal  money  market  deposit  accounts.  The  effect  of  these  reserve
requirements is to increase the Bank's cost of funds.  The Bank is in compliance
with its  reserve  requirements.  A  federal  savings  association,  like  other
depository  institutions  maintaining  reservable accounts,  may borrow from the
Federal Reserve Bank "discount  window," but the FRB's  regulations  require the
savings association to exhaust other reasonable  alternative sources,  including
borrowing from its regional  FHLB,  before  borrowing  from the Federal  Reserve
Bank. Current law imposes certain limitations on the ability of undercapitalized
depository institutions to borrow from Federal Reserve Banks.

Limitations on Repurchase of Common Stock of Holding Company

         OTS  regulations   currently   provide  that  the  Holding  Company  is
prohibited  from  repurchasing  any  of  its  shares  within  one  year  of  the
Conversion,  which  occured on June 13, 1995.  So long as the Bank  continues to
meet certain  capitalization  requirements,  the Holding  Company may repurchase
shares in an  open-market  repurchase  program  (which  cannot  exceed 5% of its
outstanding  shares in a twelve-month  period) during the second and third years
following its Conversion by giving  appropriate prior notice to the OTS. The OTS
has the  authority  to waive these  restrictions  under  certain  circumstances.
Unless  repurchases are permitted under the foregoing  regulations,  the Holding
Company may not,  for a period of three  years from the date of the  Conversion,
repurchase  any of its capital stock from any person,  except in the event of an
offer to  purchase  by the  Holding  Company on a pro rata basis from all of its
shareholders  which is approved  in advance by the OTS or except in  exceptional
circumstances established to the satisfaction of the OTS.

         Under  Indiana  law,  the  Holding   Company  will  be  precluded  from
repurchasing  its equity  securities if, after giving effect to such repurchase,
the Holding  Company  would be unable to pay its debts as they become due or the
Holding  Company's  assets would be less than its liabilities and obligations to
preferential shareholders.

Transactions with Affiliates

      The Bank and the Holding  Company are subject to Sections  22(h),  23A and
23B of the Federal Reserve Act, which restrict  financial  transactions  between
banks and affiliated companies. The statute limits credit transactions between a
bank or savings  association  and its  executive  officers  and its  affiliates,
prescribes  terms and conditions for bank  affiliate  transactions  deemed to be
consistent  with safe and sound  banking  practices,  and restricts the types of
collateral security permitted in connection with a bank's extension of credit to
an affiliate.

Federal Securities Law

      The shares of Common Stock of the Holding  Company are registered with the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission")  under the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended  (the "1934  Act").  The  Holding  Company is
subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and
other requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules of the Commission thereunder.


<PAGE>

      Shares of Common Stock held by persons who are  affiliates  of the Holding
Company may not be resold without  registration  unless sold in accordance  with
the resale restrictions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act").  If the Holding  Company meets the current public  information
requirements  under Rule 144, each affiliate of the Holding Company who complies
with the  other  conditions  of Rule  144  (including  those  that  require  the
affiliate's  sale to be aggregated  with those of certain other persons) will be
able to sell in the public market, without registration,  a number of shares not
to exceed, in any three-month  period,  the greater of (i) 1% of the outstanding
shares of the Holding  Company or (ii) the average  weekly  volume of trading in
such shares during the preceding four calendar weeks.

Community Reinvestment Act Matters

      Federal law requires  that ratings of  depository  institutions  under the
Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA") be disclosed. The disclosure includes
both a  four-unit  descriptive  rating --  outstanding,  satisfactory,  needs to
improve,  and  substantial  noncompliance  --  and a  written  evaluation  of an
institution's  performance.  Each FHLB is required  to  establish  standards  of
community  investment  or service that its members must  maintain for  continued
access to long-term  advances from the FHLBs.  The standards take into account a
member's  performance under the CRA and its record of lending to first-time home
buyers.  The OTS has  designated the Bank's record of meeting  community  credit
needs as satisfactory.

                                    TAXATION

Federal Taxation

         Historically,  savings  associations,  such  as  the  Bank,  have  been
permitted to compute bad debt deductions using either the bank experience method
or the percentage of taxable income method.  However,  for years beginning after
December  31,  1995,  the Bank will no longer be able to use the  percentage  of
taxable  income method of computing its  allocable tax bad debt  deduction.  The
Bank will be required to compute its allocable  deduction  using the  experience
method.  As a result of the repeal of the  percentage of taxable  income method,
reserves  taken  after  1987  using the  percentage  of  taxable  income  method
generally  must be included  in future  taxable  income over a six-year  period,
although  a  two-year  delay  may  be  permitted  for  institutions   meeting  a
residential  mortgage loan origination test. In addition,  the pre-1988 reserve,
in which no deferred  taxes have been  recorded,  will not have to be recaptured
into income unless (i) the Bank no longer qualifies as a bank under the Code, or
(ii) excess dividends are paid out by the Bank.

         Depending  on the  composition  of its items of income and  expense,  a
savings  institution  may be subject to the  alternative  minimum tax. A savings
institution must pay an alternative  minimum tax equal to the amount (if any) by
which 20% of  alternative  minimum  taxable  income  ("AMTI"),  as reduced by an
exemption  varying with AMTI,  exceeds the regular tax due. AMTI equals  regular
taxable  income   increased  or  decreased  by  certain  tax   preferences   and
adjustments,  including depreciation  deductions in excess of that allowable for
alternative  minimum tax purposes,  tax-exempt interest on most private activity
bonds  issued  after  August 7, 1986  (reduced by any related  interest  expense
disallowed  for  regular  tax  purposes),  the  amount  of the bad debt  reserve
deduction  claimed in excess of the deduction based on the experience method and
75% of the excess of adjusted current earnings over AMTI (before this adjustment
and before any alternative tax net operating loss).  AMTI may be reduced only up
to 90% by net operating loss carryovers,  but alternative  minimum tax paid that
is  attributable  to most  preferences  (although  not to  post-August  7,  1986
tax-exempt interest) can be credited against regular tax due in later years.

State Taxation

         The Bank is subject to Indiana's  Financial  Institutions  Tax ("FIT"),
which is imposed at a flat rate of 8.5% on "adjusted  gross  income."  "Adjusted
gross  income,"  for purposes of FIT,  begins with taxable  income as defined by
Section 63 of the Code and,  thus,  incorporates  federal  tax law to the extent
that it affects the  computation of taxable  income.  Federal  taxable income is
then adjusted by several Indiana modifications, the most notable of which is the
required  addback of interest that is tax-free for federal  income tax purposes.
Other  applicable state taxes include  generally  applicable sales and use taxes
plus real and personal property taxes.

         As of February 17, 1998,  there were 848 record  holders of the Holding
Company's  Common Stock.  The Holding Company has established a policy of paying
regular periodic cash dividends,  and the Board of Directors intends to continue
this  policy,  subject to the Holding  Company's  operating  results,  financial
condition,  capital,  income tax considerations,  regulatory  restrictions,  and
other relevant factors.

         Since the Holding  Company  has no  independent  operations  other than
investment-related  activities or other  subsidiaries  to generate  income,  its
ability  to  accumulate  earnings  for  the  payment  of cash  dividends  to its
shareholders  will be  directly  dependent  upon the  ability of the Bank to pay
dividends to the Holding Company.

         Under OTS regulations,  a converted savings institution may not declare
or pay a cash  dividend if the effect would be to reduce its net worth below the
amount required for the liquidation account created at the time it converted. In
addition,  under OTS regulations,  the extent to which a savings institution may
make  a  "capital  distribution,"  which  includes,  among  other  things,  cash
dividends, will depend upon in which one of three categories,  based upon levels
of capital, that savings institution is classified.  The Bank is now and expects
to continue to be a "tier one  institution"  and therefore  would be able to pay
cash dividends to the Holding Company during any calendar year up to 100% of its
net income  during that  calendar  year plus the amount that would reduce by one
half its "surplus  capital ratio" (the excess over its fully  phased-in  capital
requirements)  at the beginning of the calendar year. See "Regulation -- Capital
Distributions  Regulation."  Prior notice of any dividend to be paid by the Bank
to the Holding Company will have to be given to the OTS.

         Income of the Bank  appropriated  to bad debt reserves and deducted for
federal  income tax purposes is not available  for payment of cash  dividends or
other distributions to the Holding Company without the payment of federal income
taxes by the Bank on the amount of such income deemed  removed from the reserves
at the then-current  income tax rate. At December 31, 1997,  approximately  $1.7
million of the Bank's retained income  represented bad debt deductions for which
no federal income tax provision had been made.
See "Taxation--Federal Taxation."


<PAGE>

         Unlike the Bank,  generally  there is no regulatory  restriction on the
payment of  dividends  by the  Holding  Company.  Indiana  law,  however,  would
prohibit the Holding  Company from paying a dividend if, after giving  effect to
the payment of that dividend,  the Holding  Company would not be able to pay its
debts  as they  become  due in the  usual  course  of  business  or the  Holding
Company's total assets would be less than the sum of its total  liabilities plus
preferential rights of holders of preferred stock, if any.

                          Independent Auditor's Report

To the Board of Directors
Logansport Financial Corp.
Logansport, Indiana

We have audited the consolidated  statement of financial condition of Logansport
Financial  Corp.  and  subsidiary  as of  December  31,  1996,  and the  related
consolidated  statements  of income,  changes in  stockholders'  equity and cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended  December  31,  1996.  These
consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these  consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion,  the consolidated  financial  statements described above present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial  position  of
Logansport  Financial  Corp.  and  subsidiary  as of December 31, 1996,  and the
results  of their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the two years in
the period ended  December 31,  1996,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

Item 9.       Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on
              Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

              On August 12, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Holding  Company
selected the accounting  firm of Grant Thornton LLP to examine the  consolidated
financial  statements  of the Company for the fiscal  year ending  December  31,
1997.

         The audit reports issued by Geo. S. Olive & Co. LLC with respect to the
Company's consolidated financial statements for 1995 and 1996 did not contain an
adverse  opinion  or  disclaimer  of  opinion,  and  were  not  qualified  as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During 1995 and 1996 (and any
subsequent interim period), there have been no disagreements between the Company
and Geo. S. Olive & Co. LLC on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial   statement   disclosure  or  auditing   scope  or  procedure,   which
disagreements,  if not resolved to the  satisfaction of Geo. S. Olive & Co. LLC,
would  have  caused  it to  make  a  reference  to  the  subject  matter  of the
disagreement in connection with its audit report.  Moreover,  none of the events
listed in Item  304(a)(1)(v)  of Regulation S-K occurred  during 1995 or 1996 or
any subsequent interim period.

         In  1996,  the  Company  consulted  Grant  Thornton  LLP for  financial
accounting and tax advice  regarding a tax-free return of capital which was paid
in 1996.  Grant Thornton LLP provided a letter to the Company  stating its views
with respect to accounting  for the exercise  price of stock  options  following
such return of capital  distribution.  Their written views are  incorporated  by
reference to Exhibit A to the Company's  Current  Report on Form 8-K, filed with
the Commission on August 19, 1997. Geo. S. Olive & Co. LLC was consulted  during
its  completion of the 1996 audit of the  consolidated  financial  statements in
1997 for concurrence with Grant Thornton LLP on their written views, and Geo. S.
Olive & Co. LLC concurred.

         Pursuant to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, the Holding Company  provided a
copy of its Current  Report on Form 8-K  announcing  the change in the Company's
Certifying  Accountant,  which was filed with the Commission on August 19, 1997,
to Geo.  S. Olive & Co. LLC for  review.  A letter  from Geo. S. Olive & Co. LLC
indicating  that it  agrees  with the  statements  made by the  Holding  Company
therein is  incorporated  by  reference to Exhibit 16 to the  Company's  Current
Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on August 19, 1997.

Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant.

         The  information  required by this item with  respect to  directors  is
incorporated  by reference to pages 2 through 4 of the Holding  Company's  Proxy
Statement for its 1998 Annual Shareholder  Meeting (the "1998 Proxy Statement").
Information  concerning the Holding Company's  executive officers is included in

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

         The  information  required  by this  item  with  respect  to  executive
compensation  is  incorporated  by  reference  to  pages  2 to 4 of the  Holding
Company's 1998 Proxy Statement.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.

         The  information  required by this item is incorporated by reference to
pages 2 and 3 of the 1998 Proxy Statement.
