Through its banking subsidiary's locations in Tippecanoe, White, and Jasper Counties, the Corporation provides traditional community banking services, such as accepting deposits and making commercial, residential and consumer loans. Mortgage banking activities include the origination of residential mortgage loans for sale on a servicing released basis to various investors. The Corporation's trust department provides both personal and corporate trust services. The Corporation's three reportable segments are determined by the products and services offered. Interest on loans, investments and deposits comprise the primary revenues and expenses of the banking operation, net gains on loans sold account for the revenues in the mortgage banking segment, and trust administration fees provide the primary revenues in the trust department. The following segment financial information has been derived from the internal profitability reporting system utilized by management to monitor and manage the financial performance of the Corporation. The accounting policies of the three segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies of the annual report. The Corporation evaluates segment performance based on profit or loss before income taxes. The evaluation process for the mortgage banking and trust segments include only direct expenses, while certain indirect expenses, including goodwill, are absorbed by the banking operation. The difference between segment totals and consolidated totals are holding company amounts and income tax expense.

Intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will periodically be reviewed for impairment and written down if impaired. Additional disclosures about intangibles assets and goodwill may be required. An initial goodwill impairment test is required during the first six months of 2002. The Corporation's management is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
