BLUE RIVER BANCSHARES, INC. SIGNS AGREEMENT

TO ACQUIRE UNIFIED BANKING COMPANY, LEXINGTON, KY

         Shelbyville, IN -- Blue River Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ SC: BRBI)
and Unified Financial Services, Inc., Lexington, Kentucky, announced today
that they have signed a stock purchase agreement pursuant to which Blue
River Bancshares will acquire the outstanding shares of Unified Banking
Company, Lexington, Kentucky, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unified Financial
Services, Inc.

         Under the terms of the agreement, Blue River Bancshares will
acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Unified Banking
Company for $8.2 million in cash. The acquisition is subject to the approval
of the stockholders of Unified Financial Services Inc., approvals by
regulatory authorities, financing contingencies and certain other conditions
provided in the definitive agreement.

         Blue River Bancshares is the holding company for Shelby County
Bank, a federal savings bank with assets of approximately $98 million
operating four banking offices in Shelby County, Indiana. Unified Banking
Company is a federal savings bank with approximately $82 million in assets
and one banking office in Lexington, Kentucky.

         Unified Financial Services, Inc. is a holding company for various
financial services companies, which primarily focus on three principal
businesses: the provision of complete back-office and shareholder services
for the assets of third-party mutual fund families; management and
administration of 401(k) and other ERISA-directed assets; and management of
wealth for individuals through a suite of family-office services.

         "We believe this acquisition fits Blue River Bancshares' long-term
strategy of concentrating our efforts in the development of premier
community banking affiliates," said Larry Toombs, President of


                                   - 2 -




Blue River. "Unified Banking Company and its experienced management group
have done an excellent job since the bank's inception in 1999. We know they
have the commitment to a community banking philosophy and will continue to
serve the overall Lexington marketplace in a superior manner. As a part of
Blue River, we will support Unified Banking Company's dedication to
community investment and Unified Banking Company's commitment to grow and
prosper."

         Russell Breeden, III, Chairman of the Executive Committee of Blue
River Bancshares added, "After the acquisition, the two banks will be
operated independently so that each Board of Directors and management team
can fully serve its distinct market."

         "Since we will operate independently and with no change in
employees, I believe this transaction will allow Unified Banking Company to
maintain its growth and serve its clients in the manner to which they have
been accustomed," said Olin W. "Buddy" Bryant, President of Unified Banking
Company.

         John S. Penn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Unified
Financial Services, Inc., stated, "Unified has enjoyed its affiliation with
Unified Banking Company and its people. We feel this transaction, however,
is in the best interest of our stockholders. As a part of our company's
long-term strategy, this transaction will allow Unified to focus on managing
and servicing assets."

         The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2003.
Upon completion of the acquisition Blue River Bancshares expect to have
approximately $180 million in total assets.

         The statements in this press release do not constitute an offer to
sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy the securities described above,
nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such
an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration
or qualification under the securities laws of any such state. These
offerings will only be made pursuant to an effective registration statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995 and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which may
cause actual results to differ materially. Among the risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to vary materially are: (1) failure to
obtain necessary financing for the acquisition, (2) failure to obtain
necessary stockholder approval of the transactions, (3) failure to obtain
necessary regulatory approval of the transactions, (4) necessary conditions
in the stock purchase agreement not being satisfied, and (5) the occurrence
or existence of any facts or circumstances which would allow any party to
the stock purchase agreement to terminate the agreement. Blue River's and
Unified Financial Service's actual results, performance and achievements may
differ materially from those suggested, expressed or implied by
forward-looking statements due to a wide range of factors including, but not
limited to, the general business environment, interest rates, the economy,
competitive conditions between banks and non-bank financial services
providers, regulatory changes and other risks detailed in the Blue River and
Unified Financial Service reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
