NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance
with instructions for Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
presentation of financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the balance sheets of
St. Joseph Capital Corporation (the "Company")  as of March 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996 and the statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the period from January 1, 1997 through March 31, 1997 and
February 29, 1996 (date of inception)  through March 31, 1996.  The income
reported for the period presented is not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of St.
Joseph Capital Corporation ("the Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, St.
Joseph Capital Bank (the "Bank").  All significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 3 -   INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On September 10, 1996, the Company completed an initial common stock offering
during which 1,265,000 shares of the Company's common stock were sold at $10
per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $12.65 million.  Expenses associated
with the initial public offering totaling $534,000 were netted against the
gross proceeds and not recorded as expenses in the Company's statement of
income.  Thus, the net proceeds from the initial public offering were $12.1
million.  The Company used approximately $10 million of the proceeds from the
stock offering to provide the initial capitalization of the Bank in February
1997.

NOTE 4 - DEVELOPMENT STAGE

During 1996, the Company was a development stage company as its wholly owned
subsidiary, the Bank, had not yet commenced its planned principal operations of
banking.

The Bank received regulatory approval to operate as a bank from the Indiana
Department of Financial Institutions on August 8, 1996, and received its
certificate of insurance from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on
February 11, 1997.  The Bank commenced operations on February 13, 1997.  The
Bank offers a full range of commercial and consumer banking services primarily
within a 15-mile radius of Mishawaka, Indiana.

NOTE  5 - COMPARATIVE DATA

The Company was incorporated in February 1996.  Its operating subsidiary (the
Bank)  commenced operations on February 13, 1997.  As of March 31, 1996, no
significant activity had taken place, therefore comparative statements for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the future years.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL
-------

     St. Joseph Capital Corporation (the "Company") was formed under the laws
of the state of Delaware for the purpose of becoming the bank holding company
of St. Joseph Capital Bank (the "Bank").

     The Bank was capitalized on February 7, 1997 and commenced operations on
February 13, 1997.  The Bank is organized as an Indiana chartered commercial
bank that is a non-member of the Federal Reserve System with depository
accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Bank
provides full-service commercial and consumer banking services in Mishawaka and
the surrounding communities commonly referred to as the Michiana area.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
-------------------

     Total assets of the Company increased by $9,359,310 or 79% to $21,200,715
at March 31, 1997 from $11,841,405 at December 31, 1996.  As the Bank is in its
initial year of operations, it is anticipated that asset growth will continue
at a fast pace.

     Cash and cash equivalents, which includes federal funds sold, increased by
$8,833,036 to $10,243,148 at March 31, 1997 from $1,410,112 at December 31,
1996.  The increase is attributed to $9,176,442 in deposits that have been
obtained since the Bank opened on February 13, 1997.

     Securities decreased by $2,614,105 or 25% to $7,513,797 at March 31, 1997
from $10,127,902 at December 31, 1996.  The decrease was partially a result of
the redeployment of part of the investment portfolio into loans.

     The allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 1997 was $41,900,
representing approximately 1.45% of gross loans outstanding.  St. Joseph
Capital Bank has not experienced any credit losses as of March 31, 1997.

     Bank premises and equipment increased by $194,164 or 70.7% to $468,884 at
March 31, 1997 from $274,720 at December 31, 1996.  The increase resulted from
the purchase of computer equipment, software, and furniture needed to operate
the Bank.

     Deposits increased to $9,176,442 at March 31, 1997 as a result of
deposits being obtained from new clients of the Bank since operations began on
February 13, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

     Although the Company was incorporated in 1996, no significant activity
took place until the operating subsidiary (the "Bank") commenced operations on
February 13, 1997.  Therefore, comparisons of the first fiscal quarter of 1996
and 1997 are not necessarily meaningful.  The net loss for the three month
period ended March 31, 1997 was $165,806 as compared to $6,074 for the same
period in 1996.

     Interest income was $171,184 for the three month period ended March 31,
1997, related to interest income on securities, loans and interest earning
deposits.  Interest expense was $137,951 for the three month period ended March
31, 1997 related to interest incurred on interest bearing deposits.



                                      8



<PAGE>   9



     The Company has an allowance for loan losses of approximately 1.45% of
total loans at March 31, 1997.  The provision for loan losses for the three
month period ended March 31, 1997 was $41,900.  This amount was provided as a
result of the increase in the total loan portfolio.  Management believes the
current reserve would cover any loan losses that may occur on the current loan
portfolio.

     Other income of $13,784 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997
consisted of income from loan fees and other miscellaneous fees.

     The main components of other expenses were primarily salaries and
benefits.  Other expense for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 was
$82,844, consisting primarily of legal and accounting fees, advertising,
courier service, insurance and supplies.

     Since the Company is a start-up venture, it is anticipated that the
Company's net losses will continue for some period in the future.

RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
------------------------------

     Various bills have been introduced in the Congress that would allow bank
holding companies to engage in a wider range of nonbanking activities,
including greater authority to engage in securities and insurance activities.
While the scope of permissible nonbanking activities and the conditions under
which the new powers could be exercised varies among the bills, the expanded
powers generally would be available to a bank holding company only if the bank
holding company and its bank subsidiaries remain well-capitalized and
well-managed.  The bills also impose various restrictions on transactions
between the depository institution subsidiaries of bank holding companies and
their non-bank affiliates.  These restrictions are intended to protect the
depository institutions from the risks of the new nonbanking activities
permitted to such affiliates.

     At this time, the Company is unable to predict whether any of the pending

legislation may have on the operations of the Company and the Bank.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

     This report contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Company intends such
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of
1995, and is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor
provisions.  Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions
and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are
generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend,"
"anticipate," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions.  The Company's
ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies
is inherently uncertain.  Factors which could have a material adverse affect on
the operations and future prospects of the Company and the subsidiaries
include, but are not limited to, changes in: interest rates, general economic
conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the
U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal
Reserve Board, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios,
demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial
services in the Company's market area and accounting principles, policies and
guidelines.  These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating
forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such
statements.  Further information concerning the Company and its business,
including additional factors that could materially affect the Company's 
financial results, is included in the Company's filings with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission.
