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 chartered savings bank known as Logansport Savings Bank, FSB. The Bank serves the needs of primarily residents of 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 and other commercial 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. In the fourth quarter of 1998, the Bank decided to offer a complete line of commercial lending to include operating lines of credit secured by receivables and inventory and term financing for equipment purchases. In 1999, the Bank began offering agricultural loans and equipment leases. 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 33.5% of the mortgage loan volume recorded in Cass County by Cass County institutions during the year ended December 31, 2000. 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 59.7% of the Company's total loan portfolio at December 31, 2000. The Bank also offers multi-family mortgage loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans, commercial loans and leases and consumer loans. Mortgage loans secured by multi-family properties and commercial real estate totaled approximately 2.0% and 12.7%, respectively, of the Company's total loan portfolio at December 31, 2000. Commercial loans constituted 6.8% and commercial leases 2.1% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2000. Residential, multi-family and commercial real estate construction loans constituted approximately 2.7% of the Company's total loan portfolio at December 31, 2000. Installment, share, home equity, and home improvement loans constituted approximately 6.8%, .3%, 1.1%, and 5.8%, respectively, of the Company's total loan portfolio at December 31, 2000. Lending Activities Loan Portfolio Data. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's loan portfolio by loan type and security type as of the dates indicated, including a reconciliation of gross loans receivable after consideration of the allowance for loan losses and loans in process.

The following table sets forth certain information at December 31, 2000, 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 $62.3 million, or 59.7% of the Company's portfolio of loans at December 31, 2000, consisted of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, of which approximately 65.3% 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% for loans in which interest is amortized and payments are due bi-weekly. Interest rates cannot adjust lower than the rate at the time of origination. Many of the residential ARMs in the Company's portfolio at December 31, 2000 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 30 years. The Bank also currently offers fixed-rate loans which provide for the payment of principal and interest over a period that generally does not exceed 15 years. At December 31, 2000, 34.7% 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 95% 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 to 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, 2000, residential loans amounting to $240,000, or .2% of total loans, were included in non-performing assets. See "Non-Performing and Problem Assets." Commercial Real Estate Loans. At December 31, 2000, $13.2 million, or 12.7% of the Company's total loan portfolio, consisted of commercial real estate loans. Of these loans, $1.1 million 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, churches, light manufacturing facilities, retail and service outlets, warehouses, professional buildings and farm real estate. The Bank currently originates commercial real estate loans as adjustable-rate loans indexed to the one-year U.S. Treasury or the prime with various margins, or as fixed rate loans. 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, 2000 exceeded $934,000. 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 $2.1 million, or 2.0% of the Company's portfolio of loans at December 31, 2000, 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, 2000, no multi-family loan 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. At December 31, 2000, $2.8 million, or 2.7%, of the Company's total loan portfolio consisted of construction loans. All construction loans at December 31, 2000 were one- to four-family residential loans. The largest construction loan at December 31, 2000 was approximately $450,000. 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 nine months, and following the construction phase, a permanent loan is made. Inspections are made prior to any disbursement under a construction loan. Commercial Loans. At December 31, 2000, $7.1 million, or 6.8% of the Company's total loan portfolio consisted of commercial loans provided to finance receivables, inventory or equipment. These loans were originated by the Bank and provided to existing businesses located in Cass County and its contiguous counties. Loans are underwritten on a case-by-case basis with emphasis placed on cash flow analysis and the borrower's debt service capacity. The majority of the loans are written on a variable rate using the national prime rate as the primary index rate. The weighted average maturity of the variable rate portion of the portfolio was 7 months and the weighted average maturity of the fixed rate portion of the portfolio was 33 months at December 31, 2000. Commercial Leases. At December 31, 2000, $2.2 million, or 2.1% of the Company's total loan portfolio consisted of commercial leases provided to finance equipment. The Bank's lease portfolio consists of a joint marketing effort between the Bank and SCI Leasing Group, a Carmel, Indiana based concern, with all credit decisions made solely by the Bank and following the same underwriting standards as are applied to traditional commercial loan requests. Commercial leases are a fixed rate financing tool with the weighted average maturity of the Bank's lease portfolio at 58 months as of December 31, 2000. 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 $14.6 million as of December 31, 2000, or 14.0% 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 $7.0 million, or 6.8% of total loans at December 31, 2000, 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 $290,000, or .3% of total loans at December 31, 2000, 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 $6.1 million, or 5.8% of the Company's total loan portfolio at December 31, 2000, 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 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, 2000, the Bank had approved $1.8 million of home equity loans, of which $1.2 million were outstanding. 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 and credit risks. As of December 31, 2000, consumer loans totaling $96,000 were included in non-performing assets, which indicates the Bank's success in managing consumer loan risk. Letters of Credit Securing Tax-Exempt Bonds. The Bank currently maintains four 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 and Hamilton, Ohio. 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. The Bank also has two letters of credit totaling $1.5 million associated with the equity investment owned by the Bank; these also secure payments required for tax-exempt bonds. No draws against any letters of credit had been made as of December 31, 2000. In addition to the above, the Bank held $195,000 in standby letters of credit for two commercial loan customers. 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. The Bank's loan originations are generated from referrals from real estate dealers and existing customers, and newspaper and periodical advertising. Business loans originations also arise from an active business development calling program. 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 $2.6 million at December 31, 2000. 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. The Bank generally requires appraisals or loan officer evaluations 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 performed either by an in-house appraiser who is a state-licensed residential appraiser or an independent state-licensed residential appraiser. From time to time, the Bank also uses the services of certified residential appraisers, who are not in-house, for performance of appraisals related to 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. 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 $300 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. Late notices are sent to commercial loan borrowers at five and fifteen days after which personal contact by the Account Officer is made. 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, 2000, $336,000, or .25% 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 $666,000, or .57%, of the Company's total assets at December 31, 1999. At December 31, 2000, residential loans and consumer loans accounted for 71.4% and 28.6%, respectively, of non-performing assets. There were no non-accruing investments at December 31, 2000. The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of the Company's non-performing assets (non-accruing loans and real estate owned) as of the date indicated. 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) The Company generally places loans on a non-accruing status when the loans become contractually past due 90 days or more. At December 31, 2000, $240,000 of non-accruing loans were residential loans and $96,000 were consumer loans. For the year ended December 31, 2000, the income that would have been recorded had the non-accruing loans not been in a non-performing status totaled $12,000. (2) Total loans less loans in process. 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. 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, 2000, the aggregate amount of the Company's classified assets and the Company's general and specific loss allowances were as follows: At December 31, 2000 -------------------- (In thousands) Substandard loans........................... $2,866 Doubtful loans.............................. --- Loss loans.................................. --- ------ Total classified loans................... $2,866 ====== General loss allowances..................... $760 Specific loss allowances.................... --- ------ Total allowances......................... $760 ====== The Company regularly reviews its loan portfolio to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. The substandard loans consist of all nonaccrual loans, three additional purchased participation loans secured by multi-family real estate of $744,000, which are current on payments but considered substandard because of cash flow, one letter of credit for $253,000 related to one of the substandard purchased participtions, and one commercial relationship for $1.5 million which is current but classified substandard because of cash flow. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is maintained through the provision for losses on loans, which is charged to earnings. The provision for losses on loans 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, 2000. However, there can be no assurance that regulators, when reviewing the Company's loan portfolio in the future, will not require increases in its allowance for loan losses or that changes in economic conditions will not adversely affect the Company's loan portfolio. Summary of Loan Loss Experience. The following table analyzes changes in the allowance for loan losses during the past five (5) one-year periods ended December 31, 2000.

Investments and Mortgage- and Other Asset-Backed Securities 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 and interest rate risk, and prudent asset/liability management. The Company's investments consist of U.S. government and other agency securities which are primarily callable fixed rate notes, mortgage- and other asset-backed securities, state and municipal bonds, corporate obligations, marketable equity securities, and FHLB stock. At December 31, 2000, approximately $15.5 million, or 11.7% of the Company's total assets, consisted of such investments. At December 31, 2000, the Company had $5.2 million of mortgage- and other asset-backed securities outstanding, all of which were classified as available for sale. 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 amortized cost and market value of the Company's investments and mortgage- and other asset-backed securities at the dates indicated.

(1) Securities available for sale are set forth at amortized cost for purposes of this table. (2) Fully taxable equivalent basis. (3) No effect is given for possible prepayments or securities which are callable. 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, 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 are also used to compensate for reductions in deposits or deposit inflows at less than projected levels. 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 $79.5 million at December 31, 2000. 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, 2000, is as follows:

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, 2000, the Company had $10.0 million in borrowings from the FHLB of Indianapolis which mature within one year and $24.0 million which mature in greater than one year. The weighted average interest rate related to these borrowings was 6.11% at December 31, 2000. The Company does not anticipate any difficulty in obtaining advances appropriate to meet its requirements in the future. At December 31, 2000, notes payable consisted of borrowings secured by the Bank's investment in a real estate partnership which will mature in 2009. The interest rate on the variable rate borrowing was 3.61% at December 31, 2000. Employees As of December 31, 2000, the Bank employed 20 persons on a full-time basis and five 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, which is a defined benefit pension plan ("FIRF" or the "Pension Plan"), a 401(k) 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 The Bank, as a federally chartered savings bank, is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System ("FHLB System") and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and it is a member of the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"), which is administered by the FDIC. The Bank is subject to extensive regulation by the OTS. Federal associations may not enter into certain transactions unless certain regulatory tests are met or they obtain prior governmental approval and the associations must file reports with the OTS about their activities and their financial condition. Periodic compliance examinations of the Bank are conducted by the OTS which has, in conjunction with the FDIC in certain situations, examination and enforcement powers. This supervision and regulation are intended primarily for the protection of depositors and federal deposit insurance funds. The Bank is also subject to certain reserve requirements under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB"). An OTS regulation establishes a schedule for the assessment of fees upon all savings associations to fund the operations of the OTS. The regulation also establishes a schedule of fees for the various types of applications and filings made by savings associations with the OTS. The general assessment, to be paid on a semiannual basis, is based upon the savings association's total assets, including consolidated subsidiaries, as reported in a recent quarterly thrift financial report. Currently, the quarterly assessment rates range from .01164% of assets for associations with assets of $67 million or less to .00308% for associations with assets in excess of $35 billion. The Bank's semiannual assessment under this assessment scheme, based upon its total assets at December 31, 2000, was approximately $18,500. 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, issuances or retirements of their own securities, and limitations upon other aspects of banking operations. In addition, the activities and operations of the Bank 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. Holding Company Regulation The Holding Company is regulated as a "non-diversified unitary savings and loan holding company" within the meaning of the Home Owners' Loan Act, as amended ("HOLA"), and subject to regulatory oversight of 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. The HOLA generally prohibits a savings and loan holding company, without obtaining the prior approval of the Director of the OTS, from (i) acquiring control of any other savings association or savings and loan holding company or controlling the assets thereof or (ii) acquiring or retaining more than 5 percent of the voting shares of a savings association or holding company thereof which is not a subsidiary. Except with the prior approval of the Director of the OTS, no director or officer of a savings and loan holding company or person owning or controlling by proxy or otherwise more than 25% of such company's stock may also acquire control of any savings institution, other than a subsidiary institution, or any other savings and loan holding company. The Holding Company's Board of Directors presently intends to continue to operate the Holding Company as a unitary savings and loan holding company. Under current OTS regulations, there are generally no restrictions on the permissible business activities of a unitary savings and loan holding company. The Holding Company currently operates as a unitary savings and loan holding company. Prior to the enactment of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "GLB Act") on November 12, 1999, there were no restrictions on the permissible business activities of a unitary savings and loan holding company. The GLB Act included a provision that prohibits any new unitary savings and loan holding company, defined as a company that acquires a thrift after May 4, 1999, from engaging in commercial activities. This provision also includes a grandfather clause, however, that permits a company that was a savings and loan holding company as of May 4, 1999, or had an application to become a savings and loan holding company on file with the OTS as of that date, to acquire and continue to control a thrift and to continue to engage in commercial activities. Because the Holding Company qualifies under this grandfather provision, the GLB Act did not affect the Holding Company's authority to engage in diversified business activities. 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 be deemed to be a bank holding company subject to all of the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and other statutes applicable to bank holding companies, to the same extent as if the Holding Company were a bank holding company and the Bank were a bank. See "-Qualified Thrift Lender." At December 31, 2000, the Bank's asset composition was in excess of that required to qualify as a Qualified Thrift Lender. If the Holding Company were to acquire control of another savings institution 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 institution, (iv) holding or managing properties used or occupied by a subsidiary savings institution, (v) acting as trustee under deeds of trust, (vi) those activities in which multiple savings and loan holding companies were authorized (by regulation) to directly engage on March 5, 1987, to be engaged in by multiple holding companies or (vii) those activities authorized by 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 prior to being engaged in by a multiple savings and loan holding company. 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 1987, or if the laws of the state in which the institution to be acquired is located specifically permit institutions to be acquired by state-chartered institutions 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 institutions). 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 associations holding companies with their principal place of business located outside of Indiana upon receipt of approval by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. Federal Home Loan Bank System The Bank is a member of the FHLB system, which consists of 12 regional banks. The Federal Housing Finance Board ("FHFB"), an independent agency, controls the FHLB System, including the FHLB of Indianapolis. The FHLB System provides a central credit facility primarily for member financial institutions. At December 31, 2000, the Bank's investment in stock of the FHLB of Indianapolis was $1,973,000. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, the FHLB of Indianapolis paid approximately $130,000 in dividends to the Bank. All 12 FHLB's are required to provide funds to establish affordable housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on advances to members to be used for lending at subsidized interest rates for low-and moderate-income, owner-occupied housing projects, affordable rental housing, and certain other community projects. These contributions and obligations could adversely affect the value of FHLB stock in the future. A reduction in the value of such stock may result in a corresponding reduction in the Bank's capital. The FHLB of Indianapolis serves as a reserve or central bank for member institutions within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It makes advances to members in accordance with policies and procedures established by the FHLB and the Board of Directors of the FHLB of Indianapolis. All FHLB advances must be fully secured by sufficient collateral as determined by the FHLB. Eligible collateral includes first mortgage loans not more than 90 days delinquent or securities evidencing interests therein, securities (including mortgage-backed securities) issued, insured or guaranteed by the federal government or any agency thereof, cash or FHLB deposits, certain small business and agricultural loans of smaller institutions and real estate with readily ascertainable value in which a perfected security interest may be obtained. Other forms of collateral may be accepted as additional security or, under certain circumstances, to renew outstanding advances. All long-term advances are required to provide funds for residential home financing and the FHLB has established standards of community service that members must meet to maintain access to long-term advances. Interest rates charged for advances vary depending upon maturity, the cost of funds to the FHLB of Indianapolis and the purpose of the borrowing. Insurance of Deposits 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. During 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 1996, however, legislation was enacted to recapitalize the SAIF and eliminate the premium disparity between the BIF and SAIF, as further described below. 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. In 1996, legislation was enacted that 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 recognized this one-time assessment as a non-recurring operating expense of $335,000 during the three-month period 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 .06% of total assessable deposits. In addition to the assessment for deposit insurance, savings institutions are required to pay on bonds issued in the late 1980s by the Financing Corporation ("FICO"), which is a federally-chartered corporation that was organized to provide some of the financing to resolve the thrift crisis in the 1980s. During 1998, FICO payments for SAIF members approximated 6.10 basis points, while BIF members paid 1.22 basis points. By law, payments on Financing Corporation obligations have been shared equally between BIF members and SAIF members since January 1, 2000. Although Congress has considered merging the SAIF and the BIF, until then, savings associations with SAIF deposits may not transfer deposits into the BIF system without paying various exit and entrance fees. 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. 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 OTS requires savings associations that receive the highest supervisory rating for safety and soundness to maintain "core capital" of at least 3% of total assets. All other savings associations must maintain core capital of at least 4% 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, 2000, 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, 2000 under the terms of the OTS proposed interest rate risk rule. The OTS recently proposed an amendment to the interes rate risk rule that would delete the requirement that a savings association with excess exposure to interest rate risk maintain additional capital. The OTS has also revised its standards regarding the management of interest rate risk to include summary guidelines to assist savings associations in determining their exposures to interest rate risk. If an association is not in compliance with the capital requirements, the OTS is required to prohibit asset growth and to impose a capital directive that may restrict, among other things, the payment of dividends and officers' compensation. In addition, the OTS and the FDIC generally are authorized to take enforcement actions against a savings association that fails to meet its capital requirements. These actions may include restricting the operating activities of the association, imposing a capital directive, cease and desist order, or civil money penalties, or imposing harsher measures such as appointing a receiver or conservator or forcing the association to merge into another institution. Prompt Corrective Action The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, as amended ("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, 2000, the Bank was categorized as "well capitalized," meaning that its total risk-based capital ratio exceeded 10%, its Tier I risk-based capital ratio exceeded 6%, its leverage ratio exceeded 5%, 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. Capital Distributions Regulation The OTS also restricts the amount of "capital distributions" that may be made by savings associations. The regulation defines a capital distribution as a distribution of cash or other property to a savings association's owners, made on account of their ownership. This definition includes a savings association's payment of cash dividends to shareholders, or any payment by a savings association to repurchase, redeem, retire, or otherwise acquire any of its shares or debt instruments that are included in total capital, and any extension of credit to finance an affiliate's acquisition of those shares or interests. The amended regulation does not apply to dividends consisting only of a savings association's shares or rights to purchase such shares. The regulation exempts certain savings associations from filing either a notice or an application with the OTS before making any capital distribution and requires a savings association to file an application for approval of a proposed capital distribution with the OTS if the association is not eligible for expedited treatment under OTS's application processing rules, or the total amount of all capital distributions, including the proposed capital distribution, for the applicable calendar year would exceed an amount equal to the savings association's net income for that year to date plus the savings association's retained net income for the preceding two years (the "retained net income standard"). Based on the Bank's retained net income standard, the Bank would be required to file a notice or application with the OTS before making any capital distribution. A savings association must also file an application for approval of a proposed capital distribution if, following the proposed distribution, the association would not be at least adequately capitalized under the OTS prompt corrective action regulations, or if the proposed distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any applicable statute, regulation, or agreement between the association and the OTS or the FDIC. The regulation requires a savings association to file a notice of a proposed capital distribution in lieu of an application if the association or the proposed capital distribution do not meet the conditions described above, and: (1) the savings association will not be at least well capitalized (as defined under the OTS prompt corrective action regulations) following the capital distribution; (2) the capital distribution would reduce the amount of, or retire any part of the savings association's common or preferred stock, or retire any part of debt instruments such as notes or debentures included in the association's capital under the OTS capital regulation; or (3) the savings association is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company. Because the Bank is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, this latter provision requires that, at a minimum, the Bank must file a notice with the OTS thirty days before making any capital distributions to the Holding Company. In addition to these regulatory restrictions, the Bank's Plan of Conversion imposes additional limitations on the amount of capital distributions it may make to the Holding Company. The Plan of Conversion by which the Bank converted from the mutual to the stock form of ownership (the "Plan of Conversion") requires the Bank to establish and maintain a liquidation account for the benefit of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders (as those terms are defined in the Plan of Conversion) and prohibits the Bank from making capital distributions to the Holding Company if its net worth would be reduced below the amount required for the liquidation account. Limitations on Rates Paid for Deposits Regulations promulgated by the FDIC pursuant to FedICIA place limitations on 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. Liquidity The Financial Regulatory Relief and Economic Efficiency Act of 2000, which was signed into law on December 27, 2000, repealed the former statutory requirement that all savings associations maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets in a minimum amount of not less than 4% or more than 10% of their withdrawable accounts plus short-term borrowings. The OTS adopted an interim final rule in March 2001 that implemented this revised statutory requirement, although savings associations remain subject to the OTS regulation that requires them to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure their safe and sound operation. Safety and Soundness Standards In 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. During 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, 2000, 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. The Bank does not believe that the loans-to-one-borrower limits will have a significant impact on its business operations or earnings. Qualified Thrift Lender Savings associations must meet a QTL test that requires the association to maintain an appropriate level of qualified thrift investments ("QTIs") (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including certain mortgage-related securities) and otherwise to qualify as a QTL. 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. 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 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; and (iii) it shall be bound by regulations applicable to national banks respecting payment of dividends. Three years after failing the QTL test the association must dispose of any investment or activity not permissible for a national bank and a savings association. 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). A savings association failing to meet the QTL test may requalify as a QTL if it thereafter meets the QTL test. In the event of such requalification it shall not be subject to the penalties described above. A savings association which subsequently again fails to qualify under the QTL test shall become subject to all of the described penalties without application of any waiting period. At December 31, 2000, 82.91% of the Bank's portfolio assets (as defined on that date) were invested in qualified thrift investments (as defined on that date), and therefore the Bank's asset composition was in excess of that required to qualify the Bank as a QTL. Also, the Bank does not expect to significantly change its lending or investment activities in the near future. The Bank expects to continue to qualify as a QTL, although there can be no such assurance. 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. 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, which became effective in 1996, 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 reciprocal basis. Transactions with Affiliates The Bank and 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 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 and 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 SEC thereunder. If the Holding Company has fewer than 300 shareholders, it may deregister the shares under the 1934 Act and cease to be subject to the foregoing requirements. Shares of Common Stock held by persons who are affiliates of the Holding Company may not be resold without registration or unless sold in accordance with the resale restrictions of Rule 144 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933 (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 conditions that require the affiliate's sale to be aggregated with those of certain other persons) would 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, unsatisfactory and needs improvement -- and a written evaluation of each 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 examiners have determined that the Bank has a satisfactory record of meeting community credit needs. 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 is no longer able to use the percentage of taxable income method of computing its allocable tax bad debt deduction. The Bank is 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, for 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. Item 2. Properties. At December 31, 2000, the Bank and the Holding Company conducted business from a single office at 723 East Broadway, Logansport, Indiana. The following table provides certain information with respect to the Company's office as of December 31, 2000:

Logansport Savings Bank, FSB converted from a mutual savings bank to a stock form federal savings bank effective June 13, 1995 (the "Conversion") and simultaneously formed a savings and loan holding company, Logansport Financial Corp. The Holding Company's common stock, without par value ("Common Stock"), is quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System ("Nasdaq"), Small Cap Market, under the symbol "LOGN." The following table sets forth the high and low trade prices and dividends paid per share of Common Stock for the quarters indicated. Such price information was obtained from Nasdaq. Quarter Ended High Low Dividends Declared ------------- ---- --- ------------------ March 31, 2000 $10.313 $9.063 $ .11 June 30, 2000 9.875 7.625 .11 September 30, 2000 11.875 9.813 .11 December 31, 2000 11.813 10.875 .11 March 31, 1999 $14.000 $12.000 $ .11 June 30, 1999 12.500 11.130 .11 September 30, 1999 11.560 9.630 .11 December 31, 1999 10.500 9.030 .11 As of February 8, 2001, there were 800 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, 2000, 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." 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.
