6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Business
Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles Assets, (collectively
the "Statements") effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
Under the new rules, goodwill (and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite
lives) will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment
tests in accordance with the Statements. Other identified intangible assets will
continue to be amortized over the useful lives.

The Company applied the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other
intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the
non-amortization provisions of the Statement did not result in any changes to
reported earnings since the Company currently has no goodwill nor intangible
assets with indefinite lives.

FASB Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," (SFAS No. 144) was issued in October
2001 and addresses how and when to measure impairment on long-lived assets and
how to account for long-lived assets that an entity plans to dispose of either
through sale, abandonment, exchange, or distribution to owners. The new
provisions supersede FAS No. 121, which addressed asset impairment, and certain
provisions of APB Opinion 30 related to reporting the effects of the disposal of
a business segment and requires expected future operating losses from
discontinued operations to be recorded in the period in which the losses are
incurred rather than the measurement date. Under SFAS No. 144, more dispositions
may qualify for discontinued operations treatment in the income statement. The
provisions of SFAS No. 144 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2002,
and did not have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.



11


In October 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 147, Acquisition of Certain
Financial Institutions, which amends SFAS No. 72, Accounting for Certain
Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions, SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, and FASB Interpretation No. 9.
Except for transactions between two or more mutual enterprises, this Statement
removes acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of both SFAS No.
72 and Interpretation 9 and requires that those transactions be accounted for in
accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets. Thus, the requirement in paragraph 5 of Statement No.
72 to recognize any excess of the fair value liabilities assumed over the fair
value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired as an
unidentifiable intangible asset no longer applies to acquisitions within the
scope of this Statement. In addition, this Statement amends SFAS No. 144 to
include within its scope long-term customer-relationship intangible assets of
financial institutions such as depositor- and borrower-relationship intangible
assets and credit cardholder intangible assets. Consequently, those intangible
assets are subject to the same undiscounted cash flow recoverability test and
impairment loss recognition and measurement provisions that SFAS No. 144
requires for other long-lived assets that are held and used. The adoption of
Statement No. 147 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operation.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

At September 30, 2002 the Company's total assets amounted to $1.6 billion or
approximately $26.1 million more than at December 31, 2001, while total
liabilities increased $33.0 million and stockholders' equity decreased $6.9
million over this same period in connection with the implementation of the
Company's business plan.

Cash and cash equivalents were $198.2 million at September 30, 2002 compared to
$272.1 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease of $73.8 million was primarily
the result of funding commercial and multi-family real estate mortgage loans and
the purchase of mortgage-backed securities.

Investment securities available-for-sale amounted to $56.2 million at September
30, 2002 compared to $47.2 million at December 31, 2001. Mortgage-backed
securities available-for-sale were $322.3 million at September 30, 2002 compared
to $276.2 million at December 31, 2001 while mortgage-backed securities
held-to-maturity were $28.3 million at September 30, 2002 compared to $37.0
million at December 31, 2001. This $46.4 million net increase in investment and
mortgage-backed securities was a result of the Company investing in securities
with yields greater than were being earned while these funds were invested in
cash and cash equivalents. Cash flows from these securities (principal and
interest) are anticipated to be received over a relatively short period of time.

Loans receivable increased to $932.8 million at September 30, 2002 from $883.4
million at December 31, 2001. This net increase of $49.4 million resulted from
using cash and cash equivalents to fund new loan originations. The net reduction
of $111.7 million in single-family residential mortgage and construction loans
at September 30, 2002 compared to December 31, 2001 reflected the continuing
shift in the composition of the Company's loan portfolio to increased investment
in commercial, commercial real estate, multi-family real estate and home equity
loans.

Deposits were $988.3 million at September 30, 2002 compared to $945.9 million at
December 31, 2001. The increase of $42.4 million was primarily concentrated in
core deposits with total certificates of deposit relatively unchanged from
December 31, 2001 to September 30, 2002. In the third quarter of 2002, the
Company ran a special promotion to generate new customers for two branch
locations opened in July 2002. This promotion, conducted in July and August of
2002, offered a 90-day certificate of deposit at 4.0% interest. A total of $83.7
million was obtained, and the Company is currently involved in a retention
program with the goal of maintaining approximately one-half of these deposits
but, more importantly, retaining customers for the new locations.

Borrowed money decreased to $454.4 million at September 30, 2002 from $462.7
million at December 31, 2001. Borrowed funds consist of advances from the
Federal Home Loan Banks of Indianapolis and Chicago and Community Investment
Program funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, which are paid
down in accordance with scheduled payments.

Stockholders' equity was $164.4 million at September 30, 2002 compared to $171.3
million at December 31, 2001. The $6.9 million net reduction was the result
primarily of the $11.0 million repurchase of the Company's common stock offset
by $864,000 of options exercised during the first nine months of 2002. This net
decrease in stockholders' equity resulting from the Company's stock repurchase
activity was partially offset by $1.7 million of shares held in the RRP Trust
becoming vested and issued to plan participants and $1.8 million added to
retained earnings from net income less dividends paid to stockholders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company reported net income of $1.8 million or $0.15 per diluted share for
the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $3.6 million or $0.25 per
diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Net income for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $5.4 million or $0.43 per diluted share
compared to $9.6 million or $0.64 per diluted share for the same period in 2001.
The decrease in net income for such periods was due to the inclusion in the 2001
periods of $1.4 million of gain (net of tax) recognized from the sale of the
Bank's two LaPorte County branches that were outside of the Bank's strategic
market. The sale, which was completed in September 2001, added approximately
$0.09 per diluted share to the year to date and third quarter of 2001 results.

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2002 was $8.8 million compared to
$9.1 million reported for the third quarter of 2001. Net interest income for the
first nine months of 2002 was $25.9 million compared to $30.2 million for the
same period in 2001. As previously described, during the third quarter of 2002
the Company opened two new offices and offered 90-day certificates of deposit at
an above market rate in order to obtain customers. The above market interest
rate is no longer being offered, and a comprehensive customer retention strategy
is in effect. However, this promotion, in the short term, reduced interest rate
spreads and margins.

Interest income for the third quarter of 2002 was $22.0 million compared to
$26.8 million for the third quarter of 2001. Interest income for the first nine
months of 2002 was $66.2 million compared to $84.8 million for the first nine
months of 2001. The primary reason for the decreases in the 2002 periods was the
decline in the average yields earned on interest-earning assets in 2002 as
compared to 2001 reflecting the effect of the low-rate interest environment
existing throughout 2002. Declines in average balances of real estate loans and
securities experienced in the 2002 periods as compared to the 2001 periods also
contributed to the decline in interest income. Increases in the average balances
of other loans partially offset the decline in interest income in both the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2002 when compared to the same periods in
2001.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $13.3 million
compared to $17.7 million for the same period in 2001. Interest expense for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $40.3 million compared to $54.6 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in interest expense
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 when compared to the 2001
periods was primarily the result of a decrease in the average cost of deposits
and to a substantially lesser extent, the decrease in the average balances of
total deposits and borrowings.

The Company has identified the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses as a
critical accounting policy where amounts are sensitive to material variation.
This policy is significantly affected by management's judgment and uncertainties
and there is a likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported
under different, but reasonably plausible, conditions or assumptions. The
Company's provisions for loan losses for the three months ended September 30,
2002 and 2001 were $500,000 and $250,000, respectively, while the provisions for
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 were $1.1 million and $1.2
million, respectively. In light of the Company's emphasis on increasing its
commercial real estate and business lending and the increased known and inherent
losses in the loan portfolio, the Company continues to increase its allowance.
Non-performing assets increased from $15.0 million at December 31, 2001 to $29.3
million at September 30, 2002 due primarily to inclusion in non-performing
assets of an $11.4 million construction loan on an apartment complex as
previously disclosed by the Company. Construction issues with the borrower have
been resolved, and both construction and loan payments have resumed. Management
does not expect to incur any loss on this loan, and should the loan continue to
perform in accordance with its terms, management anticipates removing this loan
from non-performing status by December 31, 2002. Also included in non-performing
assets for the first time this


20


quarter is a $3.9 million loan on a motel. A motel management company has been
retained to manage this motel until occupancy can be stabilized, average daily
room rates increased, and the property offered for sale.

Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $2.6
million compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001
and amounted to $7.4 million for nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared
to $8.4 million for the same period in 2001. Non-interest income for the three
and nine months ended September 20, 2001 included the previously discussed $2.0
million gain on the sale of two branch offices. Excluding this $2.0 million
gain, non-interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002
was $685,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, greater than the same periods in
2001. The improvement in non-interest income was primarily the result of
increased fees on deposit accounts in both periods.

Non-interest expense was $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30,
2002 compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001.
Non-interest expense was $24.6 million for the first nine months of 2002
compared to $23.3 million for the same period in 2001. The increase in
non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was due primarily
to a $545,000 increase in compensation and employee benefits, a $75,000 increase
in data processing expenses, a $67,000 increase in marketing expenses and a
$61,000 increase in other general and administrative expenses. The increase in
non-interest expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was due
primarily to a $959,000 increase in compensation and employee benefits, a
$368,000 increase in data processing expenses and a $79,000 increase in
marketing expenses. Increases in compensation and employee benefits of $280,000
resulting from severance payments due to staff restructuring within the Bank and
the investment services division in the second quarter of 2002 and increases in
pension expense of $270,000 and $708,000 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2002, respectively, resulting from the Bank's pension plan no
longer being fully funded. In addition, increases in data processing expenses
related to the change in processing to a proof of deposit environment accounted
for an increase during both periods of 2002 when compared to the same periods in
2001.

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $755,000 or
29.4% of income before income taxes compared to $1.6 million or 30.9% of income
before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2001. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 income tax expense was $2.3 million or 29.8% of
income before income taxes compared to $4.4 million or 31.2% for the same period
in 2001. The Company estimates that its effective rate for the remainder of 2002
will be approximately 30.0%.

LIQUIDITY AND COMMITMENTS

The Company's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product
of its operating, investing, and financing activities. The Company's primary
sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, amortization, prepayments and
maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of
investment securities and other short-term investments and funds provided from
operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and
mortgage-related securities and maturing investment securities and short-term
investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan
prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates. In addition, the
Company invests excess funds in federal funds sold and other short-term
interest-earning assets which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business
management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments
such as federal funds. The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to meet
its ongoing commitments, pay maturing certificates of deposit and savings

withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain a portfolio of mortgage-backed
and mortgage-related securities and investment securities. At September 30, 2002
the total approved investment and loan origination and purchase loan commitments
outstanding amounted to $42.1 million. At the same date, the unadvanced portion
of construction loans amounted to $45.8 million. Investment securities scheduled
to mature in one year or less at September 30, 2002 amounted to $20.6 million.

Based on historical experience, the Company believes that a significant portion
of maturing deposits will remain with the Company. The Company anticipates that
it will continue to have sufficient funds, together with borrowings, to meet its
current commitments.

REGULATORY CAPITAL

At September 30, 2002 the Bank's regulatory capital was significantly in excess
of regulatory limits set by the Office of Thrift Supervision. The current
requirements and the Bank's actual levels at September 30, 2002 are set forth
below (dollars in thousands):
