LSB Financial Corp. Announces Year-to-Date and Third Quarter Results

and Payment of a Cash Dividend

Lafayette, IN  - LSB Financial Corp., the holding company for Lafayette Savings Bank, announced today third quarter 2007 net income of $717,000 which represents diluted earnings per share of $0.46.  This compares to net income of $867,000 and $.53 per share for the same period of 2006.  The decrease in income was due primarily to a $252,000 decrease in net interest income as a result of lower average loan balances.

For the first nine months of 2007 earnings were $1,946,000 compared to $2,603,000 for the same period in 2006.  The diluted per share earnings for those periods were $1.22 and $1.61 respectively.   Again, the decrease in income was due primarily to a decrease in net interest income of $554,000 or 6%, along with an increase in our loan loss provision of $202,000 or 28% over the first nine months of last year.

LSB president and CEO, Randolph F. Williams stated, “We continue to face the challenges brought about by local economic conditions.  The business climate has started to improve and the September unemployment rate for Tippecanoe County was 3.5%.  However, we are still working through borrower’s loan problems as the mortgage loan market struggles to come to terms with the foreclosures and declining housing values.  To better respond we have strengthened our collection and workout areas which pro-actively work with borrowers struggling to keep their properties.  We have gotten more rigorous in evaluating new borrowers and when we acquire non-performing assets we are working aggressively to dispose of them.”

Williams continued, “Much of the news today is about large banks paying the price for exploiting the sub-prime market.  We have never had a program geared at moving unqualified borrowers into new homes.  Our average non-performing loan is over four years old - these are not new loans and new customers.  Many of these borrowers were caught by surprise by the property tax increases or job losses.  While we think there are some borrowers still at risk, we believe not much has changed for the strong borrower.  Rates and terms continue to be attractive and as one of the leading residential lenders in the County, we stand ready to meet their borrowing needs.”

 The Company announced earlier that it will pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 2, 2007 with a payment date of December 7, 2007.

The closing price of LSB stock on November 12, 2007 was $24.00 per share as reported by the Nasdaq National Market.
