3.   Allowance for Loan Losses
     -------------------------

     As of September 30, 1998, Metro had investments in loans which are
     impaired, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
     Nos. 114 and 118, of $302,000. Of this amount, $286,000 had no related
     specific allowance. The remaining $16,000 of impaired loans were fully
     reserved.

     Metro's policy for recognizing income on impaired loans is to accrue
     earnings until a loan is classified as impaired. For loans which receive a
     classification of impaired during the current period, interest accrued to
     date is charged against current earnings. All payments received on a loan
     which is classified as impaired are utilized to reduce the principal
     outstanding.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the average balance of
     impaired loans was $187,000. Additionally, there was $11,000 in interest
     income earned on these loans during the first nine months of 1998.

4.   Comprehensive Income
     --------------------

     During the first quarter of 1998, Metro adopted Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
     Comprehensive Income is defined as the change in equity of a business
     enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
     circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity
     during a period except those resulting from investment by owners and
     distributions to owners. In Metro's case, comprehensive income includes net
     income and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.
     Total comprehensive income was $382,000 and $303,000 for the three-month
     period ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Total comprehensive
     income was $804,000 and $640,000 for the nine-month period ended September
     30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

5.   Per Share Data
     --------------

     Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
     weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Net
     income per common share, assuming full dilution, is computed as above,
     except that the denominator is increased to include the number of
     additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive
     potential common shares (stock options) had been issued. Below is a table
     reconciling basic net income per common share and net income per common
     share assuming full dilution:

The following management discussion is presented to provide information
concerning the consolidated financial condition of Metro as of September 30,
1998 as compared to December 31, 1997, and the results of operations for the
three and nine month periods ending September 30, 1998 and 1997.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

At September 30, 1998, Metro had total assets of $135.4 million, an increase of
$10.6 million or 8.5 percent from December 31, 1997. This growth is due to
increases in non-interest bearing deposits and all categories of interest
bearing deposits.

Consolidated earning assets totaled $125.6 million, or 92.8 percent of total
assets, at September 30, 1998. The principal components of earning assets, were
loans in the amount of $81.1 million or 64.6 percent of total earning assets and
investment securities of $34.1 million or 27.2 percent of total earning assets.
Earning assets at December 31, 1997 were $112.8 million, or 90.5 percent of
total assets.

LOANS
-----
Total gross loans outstanding increased $3.8 million or 4.9 percent from
December 31, 1997 to September 30, 1998. This growth is a result of increased
indirect consumer lending and growth in the commercial loan portfolio. Overall
loan demand has been strong in Metro's market area.

OTHER LIABILITIES
-----------------

Other liabilities increased to $1,126,000 from $926,000 at December 31, 1997.
Total liabilities increased by $10.1 million or 9.0 percent to $122.7 million
since December 31, 1997.

CAPITAL
-------

Metro's total capital increased by a net amount of $543,000 or 4.5 percent
during the first nine months of 1998. Metro's earnings in the first nine months
of 1998 amounted to $737,000. The net unrealized gain on investment securities
available for sale amounted to $109,000 at September 30, 1998, increasing by
$67,000 or 159.5 percent since December 31, 1997. Capital decreased by $261,000
in 1998 following the payment of a $.05 quarterly cash dividend in the months of
March, June and September, 1998.

During the first quarter of 1998, the Board of Directors of Metro declared a
five-percent stock dividend issuable April 6, 1998 to shareholders of record as
of March 18, 1998. Fractional shares resulting from the stock dividend were paid
in cash. As a result, there were 84,017 shares issued, bringing the number of
common shares outstanding to 1,765,308. A transfer from accumulated earnings
equity account to the common stock equity account in the amount of $924,000
followed issuance of the stock dividend.

Metro is subject to various capital requirements imposed by the federal banking
agencies. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require Metro to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total Tier 1
capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1
capital to average assets. Management believes, as of September 30, 1998, that
Metro meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. The
following table sets forth the actual and minimum capital amount and ratios of
Metro and the Bank as of September 30, 1998 (dollars in thousands):

As of December 31, 1997, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized
the Bank as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. To be categorized as "well capitalized", the Bank must
maintain minimum total risk-weighted, Tier 1 capital and leverage ratios as set
forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since the FDIC
notification that management believes have changed Metro's or the Bank's capital
categories.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME
-------------------

Net interest income after provision for loan losses was $4.0 million for the
nine months ending September 30, 1998, compared to $3.6 million for the
comparable period of 1997, an increase of 10.3 percent. Net Interest income
increased principally due to growth in earning assets in 1998. The Bank's
provision for loan loss expense was $225,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1998, compared to $112,000 for the same period in 1997. The provision made
in 1998 was a level considered necessary by management to absorb estimated
losses in the loan portfolio and is based upon an assessment of the adequacy of
the Bank's loan loss reserve account.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
--------------------

Non-interest expense amounted to $3.4 million for the nine-month period ending
September 30, 1998, compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 1997.

NET INCOME
----------

Metro recognized net income of $737,000 for the nine month period ending
September 30, 1998, compared to $534,000 for the same period one year earlier.

THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
-------------------

Year 2000 issues relate to proper functionality of internal and external systems
based on the century date change. Internal systems include computer hardware and
software systems, processing equipment, facilities and Metro's employee base.
External systems include data processing service companies, other vendor
relationships, customer relationships and public utilities.

                                       13
<PAGE>

                           Metro's State of Readiness

Metro has established a Year 2000 Committee ("Committee") to address Year 2000
issues. The Committee has representatives from senior management and all
functional areas of the Bank. The Committee meets on a regular basis to review
progress of Year 2000 issues. Metro's Board of Directors receives a written
update on Year 2000 status on a monthly basis.

Metro developed a Year 2000 Plan ("Plan") in December, 1997. The Plan was
designed to identify all internal and external systems which could be affected
by Year 2000 issues and remediate or replace systems which are not Year 2000
compliant based on testing or actual non-compliance. The Plan also requires Year
2000 certification by the Committee for internal and external systems deemed to
be Year 2000 compliant. The Plan defines responsibility as well as beginning and
completion dates for all phases of the Year 2000 process and observes regulatory
guidelines and requirements.

The assessment phase of the Plan was completed during the first quarter of 1998.
Internal and external systems which, could be affected by Year 2000 issues, as
well as mission critical systems, were identified during the assessment phase.
Mission critical systems are those internal and external systems required by the
Bank to provide primary services to customers and maintain fundamental
operations.

Metro contracts the services of Computer Services, Inc. ("CSI"), Paducah,
Kentucky, for data processing and related functions. The Bank has been a client
of CSI since 1993. Year 2000 proxy testing of CSI core systems was performed by
members of CSI's client base in July and August, 1998. A member of management
represented Metro on the Year 2000 Proxy Test Team. Based on a review of the
test results, CSI's core processing functions are considered to be Year 2000
compliant.

The Committee identified ninety-two vendor relationships deemed to be mission
critical. Letters were mailed to mission critical vendors by March 31, 1998
requesting information as to their Year 2000 readiness based on products or
services used by the Bank. Follow-up contact with vendors has been initiated
based on completeness of vendor responses. The Committee is evaluating vendor
readiness based on information received and has prioritized vendors requiring
additional follow-up. Based on an initial review, the Bank will upgrade some
computer software to Year 2000 compliant versions by January 31, 1999.

Customers with significant relationships ($100,000 or greater in aggregate loan
commitments or non-consumer deposits) were identified during the second quarter
of 1998. Review of significant customer relationships is designed to identify
Year 2000 risks inherent in the Bank's deposit base and loan portfolios. Bank
Officers contacted customers with significant relationships and reviewed their
Year 2000 readiness using a questionnaire developed by the Committee. The
Committee has assigned a Year 2000 risk grade to individual customers with
significant relationships with the Bank based on a review of the questionnaires
using a risk grading system. Customers with high or moderate risk are being
re-contacted prior to December 31, 1998 to review additional progress toward
Year 2000 readiness. The Bank's Loan Loss Reserve began addressing Year 2000
risks as of March 31, 1998.

                                       14

Metro operates twenty-three automated teller machines ("ATMs"), including six
located at Bank branches and seventeen at off-site locations. Management plans
to replace an ATM located at one of the Bank's branches during the fourth
quarter of 1998. Of the remaining twenty-two ATMs, twenty are scheduled to be
upgraded to Year 2000 compliance by December 31, 1998, with an additional ATM
scheduled to be upgraded in February, 1999. The remaining ATM is already Year
2000 compliant.

The Bank plans to install a wide area network computer system during the fourth
quarter of 1998. The network and related software is expected to be certified as
Year 2000 compliant based on testing following installation. The network
standardizes most computer hardware and software used internally by the Bank.

Management will evaluate strategies for upgrading the FedLine system during the
fourth quarter of 1998. FedLine is used primarily by the Bank to process wire
transfers and United States Savings Bond sales.

The Committee developed a Year 2000 Testing Plan in the second quarter of 1998.
The Testing Plan is designed to establish methodologies for Year 2000 testing of
internal and external systems identified as mission critical in the Plan.
Testing commenced during the third quarter of 1998. The Committee expects
testing to be completed by December 31, 1998.

A Year 2000 Contingency Plan was developed during the third quarter of 1998. The
Contingency Plan addresses remediation of systems related to Year 2000 testing
and outlines a business resumption plan in the event that mission critical
systems fail on critical dates. Primary risks identified in the Contingency Plan
include electric power, data communications with the Bank's data processor and
telephone service. All were identified as mission critical vendors. The Year
2000 Contingency Plan is coordinated with the Bank's Disaster Recovery Plan.

A Customer Awareness Program was developed during the third quarter of 1998. The
purpose of the program is to provide all Bank customers and potential customers
with information relating to the Bank's Year 2000 efforts and status. The
program calls for Year 2000 information to be included in deposit customers'
monthly statements beginning in the fourth quarter of 1998. In addition to the
questionnaire reviewed with significant customers, the Bank has mailed Year 2000
informational letters to many of its customers and conducted a seminar for
invited customers to relate Year 2000 information.

                                Year 2000 Costs

Management has allocated $100,000 for the Bank's Year 2000 budget. As of
September 30, 1998, approximately $30,000 has been incurred in Year 2000
expenses. The expenses relate to upgrading automated teller machine hardware and
software required for Year 2000 compliance, replacement of a non-compliant
telephone system at one Bank branch and miscellaneous expenses related to CSI
proxy testing. Management at the present time anticipates no adjustments to this
budgeted amount.

                           Summary of Year 2000 Risks

Based on internal and external systems reviewed and tested through September 30,
1998, material risks for Year 2000 issues could include electric power, data
communications systems, telephone systems and borrowing relationships with
customers which may have non-compliant systems. Electric power, data
communications and telephone systems are particularly critical to the functional
operation of the Bank and are to a large extent outside of the Bank's control.
While the Committee has gathered satisfactory Year 2000 readiness information
from mission critical utility providers, interruptions in service would be
expected to create operational problems. The Bank's Year 2000 Contingency Plan
is designed to address all material Year 2000 risks.

                           Year 2000 Contingency Plan

Metro has developed a comprehensive Year 2000 Contingency Plan, designed to
address internal and external systems failures.

The Committee has reviewed the Year 2000 Contingency Plan for the Bank's data
processor, CSI. CSI's plan provides for alternate data center sites, along with
transportation services, in the event that one or more of its data centers is
impacted by Year 2000 system failures. The plan also addresses other potential
system failures for services provided to the Bank.

Procedures have been developed to address loss of public utilities service,
including electric power, data communications and telephone service. In general,
the Bank can operate for short periods of time without some data communications
or telephone service. Electric power is critical to operations because of
security alarm systems. The Bank has established procedures for employees at
branch locations to report to alternate locations if required by utilities or
other systems failures.

Additional paper reports for all systems will be printed on the dates
immediately prior to critical dates and distributed to branch locations. The
paper reports will serve as a manual data base of the Bank's deposit and loan
accounts in the event that data is unavailable from the Bank's data processor.
Management will also pursue back-up agreements for proof of deposit functions if
the Bank's proof equipment fails. All internal data will be backed up to provide
for timely recovery if the computer network fails. The Bank retains the services
of a local network vendor for related services. New deposit and loan platform
systems will be processed manually in the event of computer hardware or software
failure. Management will evaluate additional cash requirements for Year 2000
dates beginning in the third quarter of 1999.

Employees will be encouraged to fill their vehicles with gasoline prior to
critical dates. Employee schedules will be designed to provide for full staffing
on and around critical dates. Administrative employees and loan officers will be
available to assist customer contact personnel as needed.

                           PART II-OTHER INFORMATION


Item 5.  Other Information
--------------------------

During the first quarter of 1998, the Bank opened its sixth branch office at
16825 Clover Road, Noblesville, Indiana. This new facility commenced operations
on February 11, 1998. With the continuing commercial expansion of the east-side
of Noblesville, Indiana, Metro's presence will provide greater convenience and
accessibility for local businesses and area residents with extended hours and an
increased emphasis on sales of financial products and services.

If a shareholder proposal is introduced at the 1999 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders without any discussion of the proposal in the proxy statement, and
if the proponent does not notify Metro on or before February 1, 1999, as
required by SEC Rule 14a-4(c)(1), of the intent to raise such proposal at the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders, then proxies received by Metro for the 1999
Annual Meeting will be voted by the persons named as proxies in their discretion
with respect to such proposal. Notice of such proposals is to be given to the
Secretary of Metro in writing at its principal executive office, 10333 North
Meridian Street, Suite 111, Indianapolis, Indiana 46290.
