SVB&T Corporation (the "Company") is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act with its principal office in French Lick, Indiana. The Company has elected to be governed by the Indiana Business Corporation Law (IBCL). The Company's sole subsidiary is Springs Valley Bank & Trust Company (the "Bank"), which operates two banking offices in Orange County, Indiana, two offices in Dubois County, Indiana and a banking office in Clark County, Indiana. The Company became a holding company for the Bank in early 1983. At present, the business of the Company is the management of the operations of the Bank. The Bank is engaged in the business of providing a wide range of financial services which include: (I) maintaining demand, savings, and time deposits of individuals, partnerships, corporations, associations, and government entities; (II) extension of credit through loans to individuals, and to small and medium sized businesses; (III) purchase of obligations of federal, state, county and municipal authorities and agencies; (IV) providing a wide range of fiduciary services for personal and corporate trusts; (V) providing collection and deposit services for businesses and individuals as well as providing currency and change for check cashing and business operations; (VI) acting as an agent for credit life, health and disability insurance, property and casualty insurance, and health insurance; and (VII) acting as a broker for residential and commercial real estate. (VIII) providing financial Services and access to products to meet the clients needs. The bank competes in the financial services industry in the counties of Orange, Dubois, Clark and surrounding counties in Indiana. Competition includes other financial institutions, credit unions, brokerage firms, acceptance corporations and other organizations that offer banking related services in our area. The bank employees 104 full-time equivalents which are provided benefits and with whom it enjoys excellent relations. The bank serves as the local depository, and trust administrator for Kimball International, Inc. ("Kimball") an interest of a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company. The deposits of Kimball represent approximately 6% of the certificates of deposit and money market deposits of the Bank. In addition, the Bank has loans outstanding with individuals who are employees of Kimball representing in excess of 16% of the Bank's total loans. Accordingly, the cash flow of Kimball can have a significant impact on the deposit and loan functions and earnings of the Bank. At December 31, 1998, the company had total assets of $183 million, total deposits of $159 million, and total equity capital of $20 million. REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS Regulation of the Company and Affiliates The Company is registered as a bank holding company and is subject to the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve") under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended ("BHC Act"). Bank holding companies are required to file periodic reports with and are subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has issued regulations under the BHC Act requiring a bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks. It is the policy of the Federal Reserve that, pursuant to this requirement, a bank holding company should stand ready to use its resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity. Additionally, under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), a bank holding company is required to guarantee the compliance of any insured depository institution subsidiary that may become "undercapitalized" (as defined in the statute) with the terms of any capital restoration plan filed by such subsidiary with its appropriate federal banking agency up to the lesser of (i) an amount equal to 5% of the institution's total assets at the time the institution became undercapitalized, or (ii) the amount that is necessary (or would have been necessary) to bring the institution into compliance with all applicable capital standards as of the time the institution fails to comply with such capital restoration plan. Under the BHC Act, the Federal Reserve has the authority to require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or relinquish control of a nonbank subsidiary (other than a nonbank subsidiary of a bank) upon the Federal Reserve's determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness and stability of any bank subsidiary of the bank holding company. The Bank, which is a bank chartered by the State of Indiana, is supervised, regulated and examined by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Each regulator has the authority to issue cease-and-desist orders if it determines that activities of the Bank represent an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of law. Both federal and state law extensively regulate various aspects of the banking business such as reserve requirements, truth-in-lending and truth-in-savings disclosure, equal credit opportunity, fair credit reporting, community reinvestment activities, trading in securities and other aspects of banking operations. Current federal law also requires banks, among other things, to make deposited funds available within specified time periods. Under FDICIA, as implemented by final regulations adopted by the FDIC, FDIC-insured state banks are prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from directly or indirectly acquiring or retaining any equity investments of a type, or in an amount, that are not permissible for a national bank. FDICIA, as implemented by FDIC regulations, also prohibits FDIC-insured state banks and their subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, from engaging as principal in any activity that is not permitted for a national bank or its subsidiary, respectively, unless the bank meets, and continues to meet, its minimum regulatory capital requirements and the FDIC determines the activity would not pose a significant risk to the deposit insurance fund of which the bank is a member. Impermissible investments and activities must be divested or discontinued within certain time frames set by the FDIC in accordance with FDICIA. These restrictions are not currently expected to have a material impact on the operations of the Bank. The Company and the Bank are subject to Sections 22(h), 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, which restricts financial transactions between banks and their directors, executive officers, principal shareholders, and affiliated companies. These statutes also limit credit transactions between a depository institution and its executive officers and its affiliates, prescribe terms and conditions for affiliate transactions deemed to be consistent with safe and sound banking practice, and restrict the types of collateral security permitted in connection with an institution's extension of credit to an affiliate. Capital Adequacy Guidelines Bank holding companies with consolidated assets in excess of $150 million, or bank holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $150 million which are engaged in nonbank activity involving significant leverage or which have a significant amount of outstanding debt held by the general public, are required to comply with the Federal Reserve's risk-based capital guidelines which require a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet activities such as standby letters of credit) of 8%. At least half of the total required capital, or 4%, must be "Tier 1 capital," consisting principally of common shareholders' equity, non- cumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interest in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less certain goodwill items. The remainder ("Tier 2 capital") may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock, certain hybrid capital instruments and other debt securities, cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and a limited amount of the general loan loss allowance. In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Federal Reserve has adopted a Tier 1 (leverage) capital ratio under which the bank holding company must maintain a minimum level of Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets of 3% in the case of bank holding companies which have the highest regulatory examination ratings and are not contemplating significant growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies are expected to maintain a ratio of at least 1% above the stated minimum. The following are the Company's regulatory capital ratios as of December 31, 1998: Tier 1 Capital: 15.35% Total Capital: 16.19% Leverage Ratio: 11.00% The Bank is required to meet similar capital adequacy ratios. The FDIC has adopted risk-based capital ratio guidelines to which depository institutions under its supervision are subject. The guidelines establish a systematic analytical framework that makes regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations. Risk-based capital ratios are determined by allocating assets and specified off-balance sheet commitments to four risk weighted categories, with higher levels of capital being required for the categories perceived as representing greater risk. Like the capital guidelines established by the Federal Reserve, these guidelines divide an institution's capital into two tiers. Depository institutions are required to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of 8%, of which 4% must be Tier 1 capital. The agencies may, however, set higher capital requirements when an institution's particular circumstances warrant. Depository institutions experiencing or anticipating significant growth are expected to maintain capital ratios, including tangible capital positions, well above the minimum levels. In addition, the agencies established guidelines prescribing a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% for depository institutions that meet certain specified criteria, including that they have the highest regulatory rating and are not experiencing or anticipating significant growth. All other institutions are required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% plus an additional 100 to 200 basis points. The following are the Bank's regulatory capital ratios as of December 31, 1997: Tier 1 Capital: 14.69% Total Capital: 15.54% Leverage Ratio: 10.50% The FDIC includes, in its evaluations of a bank's capital adequacy, an assessment of the bank's exposure to declines in the economic value of the bank's capital due to changes in interest rates. In 1996, the FDIC, along with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve, issued a joint policy statement to provide guidance on sound practices for managing interest rate risk. The statement sets forth the factors the federal regulatory examiners will use to determine the adequacy of a bank's capital for interest rate risk. These qualitative factors include the adequacy and effectiveness of the bank's internal interest rate risk management process and the level of interest rate exposure. Other qualitative factors that will be considered include the size of the bank, the nature and complexity of its activities, the adequacy of its capital and earnings in relation to the bank's overall risk profile, and its earning exposure to interest rate movements. The interagency supervisory policy statement describes the responsibilities of a bank's board of directors in implementing a risk management process and the requirements of the bank's senior management in ensuring the effective management of interest rate risk. Further, the statement specifies the elements that a risk management process must contain. The Federal Reserve and the FDIC have issued final regulations further revising their risk-based capital standards to include a supervisory framework for measuring market risk. The effect of these regulations is that any bank holding company or bank which has significant exposure to market risk must measure such risk using its own internal model, subject to the requirements contained in the regulations, and must maintain adequate capital to support that exposure. These regulations apply to any bank holding company or bank whose trading activity equals 10% or more of its total assets, or whose trading activity equals $1 billion or more. Examiners may require a bank holding company or bank that does not meet the applicability criteria to comply with the capital requirements if necessary for safety and soundness purposes. These regulations contain supplemental rules to determine qualifying and excess capital, calculate risk-weighted assets, calculate market risk equivalent assets and calculate risk-based capital ratios adjusted for market risk. Branching and Acquisitions Branching by the Bank is subject to the jurisdiction, and requires the prior approval, of the FDIC and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. Under current law, banks chartered by the State of Indiana may establish branches throughout the state and in other states. Congress authorized interstate branching, with certain limitations, beginning in 1997. In 1996, the Indiana General Assembly adopted statutes authorizing Indiana financial institutions to establish one or more branches in states other than Indiana through interstate merger transactions and to establish one or more interstate branches through de novo branching or the acquisition of a branch. Bank holding companies, such as the Company, are prohibited by the BHC Act from acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting stock or substantially all of the assets of any bank or savings association or merging or consolidating with another bank holding company without prior approval of the Federal Reserve. Additionally, the Company is prohibited by the BHC Act from engaging in or from acquiring ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting stock of any company engaged in a non-banking business unless such business is determined by the Federal Reserve to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto. The BHC Act does not place territorial restrictions on the activities of such non-banking-related activities. The BHC Act specifically authorizes a bank holding company, upon receipt of appropriate approvals from the Federal Reserve and the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"), to acquire control of any savings association or thrift holding company. Similarly, a thrift holding company may acquire control of a bank. A savings association acquired by a bank holding company cannot continue any non-banking activities not authorized for bank holding companies. Interstate Banking The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 allows bank holding companies to acquire banks anywhere in the United States subject to certain state restrictions, and permits an insured bank to merge with an insured bank in another state without regard to whether such merger is prohibited by state law. Additionally, an out-of-state bank may acquire the branches of an insured bank in another state without acquiring the entire bank; provided, however, that the law of the state where the branch is located permits such an acquisition. Bank holding companies also may merge existing bank subsidiaries located in different states into one bank. An insured bank subsidiary may act as an agent for an affiliated bank or savings association in offering limited banking services (receive deposits, renew time deposits, close loans, service loans and receive payments on loans obligations) both within the same state and across state lines. Prompt Corrective Action Federal bank regulatory authorities are required to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to banks which do not meet minimum capital requirements. For these purposes, there are five capital tiers: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. The FDIC has adopted regulations to implement the prompt corrective action provisions of FDICIA. Among other things, the regulations define the relevant capital measures for the five capital categories. An institution is deemed to be "well capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, and a leverage ratio of 5% or greater, and is not subject to a regulatory order, agreement or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. An institution is deemed to be "adequately capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater, and generally a leverage ratio 4% or greater. An institution is deemed to be "undercapitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8% or a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater and generally a leverage ratio of less than 4%, and "significantly undercapitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3%, or a leverage ratio of less than 3%. An institution is deemed to be "critically undercapitalized" if it has a ratio of tangible equity (as defined in the regulations) to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%. "Undercapitalized" banks are subject to growth limitations and are required to submit a capital restoration plan. A bank's compliance with such plan is required to be guaranteed by any company that controls the undercapitalized institution as described above. If an "undercapitalized" bank fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized. "Significantly undercapitalized" banks are subject to one or more of a number of requirements and restrictions, including an order by the FDIC to sell sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total assets and cease receipt of deposits from correspondent banks, and restrictions on compensation of executive officers. "Critically undercapitalized" institutions may not, beginning 60 days after becoming "critically undercapitalized," make any payment of principal or interest on certain subordinated debt or extend credit for a highly leveraged transaction or enter into any transaction outside the ordinary course of business. In addition, "critically undercapitalized" institutions are subject to appointment of a receiver or conservator. Safety and Soundness Standards The FDIC, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have published final guidelines implementing the FDICIA requirement that the federal banking agencies establish operational and managerial standards to promote the safety and soundness of federally insured depository institutions. The guidelines establish standards for internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, asset quality, earnings, compensation, fees and benefits, and specifically prohibit, as an unsafe and unsound practice, excessive compensation that could lead to a material loss to an institution. If an institution fails to comply with any of the standards set forth in the guidelines, the institution's primary federal regulator may require the institution to submit a plan for achieving and maintaining compliance. Failure to submit an acceptable compliance plan, or failure to adhere to a compliance plan that has been accepted by the appropriate regulator, would constitute grounds for further enforcement action. Year 2000 Safety and Soundness The FDIC, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued the "Interagency Guidelines Establishing Year 2000 Standards for Safety and Soundness" in 1998, which are consistent with the key principles contained in the safety and soundness guidance on the risks posed to financial institutions by the Year 2000 problem issued by the Federal Institutions Examination Council. The guidance underscores that Year 2000 preparation is not only an information systems issue, but also an enterprise-wide challenge that must be addressed at the highest level of a financial institution. The guidance sets out the responsibilities of senior management and boards of directors in managing their Year 2000 projects. Among the responsibilities of institution managers and directors is that of managing the internal and external risks presented by providers of data-processing products and services, business partners, counterparties and major loan customers. Under the guidance, senior management must provide the board of directors with status reports, at least quarterly, on efforts to reach Year 2000 goals both internally and by the institution's major vendors. Senior managers and directors must allocate sufficient resources to ensure that high priority is given to seeing that remediation plans are fulfilled, and that the project receives the quality personnel and timely support it requires. The guidance does not require financial institutions to obtain Year 2000 certification from their vendors. Rather, an institution must implement its own internal testing or verification processes for vendor products and services to ensure that its different computer systems function properly together. Deposit Insurance The deposits of the Bank are insured up to $100,000 per insured account, by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") administered by the FDIC. Accordingly, the Bank pays deposit insurance premiums to BIF. FDIC regulations implement a transitional risk-based assessment system whereby a base insurance premium will be adjusted according to the capital category and supervisory category to which an institution is assigned. The supervisory subgroup to which an institution is assigned by the FDIC is confidential and may not be disclosed. Deposit insurance assessments may increase depending upon the category and subcategory, if any, to which the bank is assigned by the FDIC. If the FDIC believes that an increase in the insurance rates is necessary, it may increase the insurance premiums applicable to BIF. Any increase in insurance assessments could have an adverse effect on the earnings of the Bank. Additional Matters In addition to the matters discussed above, the Company and the Bank are subject to additional regulation of their activities, including a variety of consumer protection regulations affecting their lending, deposit and collection activities and regulations affecting secondary mortgage market activities. The extensive regulation, supervision and examination of financial institutions by the bank regulatory agencies is intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors. Moreover, such regulation imposes substantial restrictions on the operations and activities of such institutions, and grants to regulators broad discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to classification of assets and establishment of adequate loan loss reserves. Any changes in such regulations, whether by legislation or regulatory action, could have a material impact on the Bank and its operations. The Company cannot predict what, if any, future actions may be taken by legislative or regulatory authorities or what impact any such actions may have on the operations of the Bank. The earnings of financial institutions are also affected by general economic conditions and prevailing interest rates, both domestic and foreign and by the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States Government and its various agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve. Additional legislation and administrative actions affecting the banking industry is often considered by Congress, state legislatures and various regulatory agencies, including those referred to above. It cannot be predicted with certainty whether such legislation of administrative action will be enacted or the extent to which the banking industry in general or the Company and the Bank in particular would be affected thereby. Item 2. Property The Bank properties consist of the home office, located at 505 South Maple Street in French Lick, Indiana, and branch offices located at Broadway Avenue in West Baden Springs; 1500 Main Street in Jasper, Indiana; 865 3rd Avenue in Jasper, Indiana; and 614 E Water Street in Borden, Indiana, as well as ten automated teller machines, five in Jasper, one in West Baden, one in French Lick, one in Borden, one in Salem and one in Santa Claus. All cities are located in Indiana. The Company has no separate offices. Item 3. Legal Proceedings As a part of its ordinary course of business, the Bank is a party in law suits involving claims to the ownership of funds in particular accounts and involving the collection of delinquent accounts (such as garnishment proceedings). All such litigation is incidental to the Bank's business. Management believes that no litigation is threatened or pending in which the Company or the Bank faces potential loss or exposure which will materially affect the stockholders' equity or the Bank's financial position. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders Not Applicable. PART II Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters Shares of the common stock of the Company are not traded on any national or regional exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Accordingly, there is no established market for the common stock. These are occasional trades as a result of private negotiations not involving a broker or a dealer. According to the information available to the Company the following table displays the high and low selling prices for each quarter for 1996 and 1997. Other trades may have occurred at prices of which the Company was not aware. Year Quarter High/Per Share Low/Per Share 1997 1 N/A N/A 2 $35 $35 3 $33 $33 4 $31 $31 1996 1 N/A N/A 2 $55 $55 3 N/A N/A 4 N/A N/A The company has 309 shareholders on record as of March 2, 1998. The following table sets forth the cash dividends of the company for the two most recent fiscal years: Cash Dividends Per Share 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Year Quarter Quarter Quarter Quarter 1998 $.15 $.15 $.15 $.15 1997 $.12 $.12 $.15 $.15 The holders of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to cash dividends when, and if declared by its Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. The Company intends to pay a reasonable dividend, while maintaining capital adequacy. Funds for the payment of cash dividends by the Company are obtained primarily from dividends paid to it by the Bank. The Bank is restricted by Indiana law and regulations of the Department of Financial Institutions, State of Indiana, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as to the maximum amount of dividends it can pay without prior approval. At December 31, 1998 approximately $3,697,000 of the Bank's retained earnings were available for dividend payments to the Corporation. There is no assurance as to future dividends since they are dependent upon earnings, general economic conditions, financial condition, capital requirements, regulatory limitations, and other factors as may be appropriate in determining dividend policy.

Introduction SVB&T Corporation is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act. The Corporations principal office is located in French Lick, Indiana. The Corporation's sole subsidiary is Springs Valley Bank and Trust Company, which operate offices in French Lick and West Baden, in Orange County, two offices in Jasper, located in Dubois County, and one office in Borden, Indiana located in Clark County. The subsidiary offers a wide range of banking, financial, insurance and realty services to individuals and businesses in Orange, Dubois, Clark and surrounding counties in Southern Indiana. The following managements' discussion and analysis provides information concerning SVB&T Corporation's financial condition and results of operation. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the holding company's financial statements and related footnotes which are presented in this document. Results of Operation Net Income Net income for 1998 was $1,829,182. The table below is a comparison of the net income for the years 1996 thru 1998. This table also displays the percentage and dollar amount changes which occurred during the last three years. Increase/ %Increase/ Decrease from Decrease from Year Net Income Prior Year Prior Year 1998 $1,829,182 $133,646 7.88% 1997 1,695,536 34,575 2.08% 1996 1,660,961 448,266 36.96% SVB&T Corporation's net income has increased during the past three years. The main contributing factor to this increase is an increase of the net interest income in each year. Total net income before tax for 1998 increased $254,846 over 1997. Total taxes increased $121,200 from 1997 to 1998 thus net income after taxes increased 7.88% from 1997 to 1998. Net Interest Income Net interest income is the difference between interest and fees earned on loans and investments, and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. This is the Bank's primary source of income. In this discussion, net interest income is presented on a tax equivalent basis. All tax-exempt income earned on securities of state and political subdivision has been increased to an amount that would have been earned on a taxable basis. This places taxable and non-taxable income on a more comparable basis and makes the comparisons more meaningful. In 1998, tax equivalent net interest income of $7,520,000 increased by $412,000 or 5.80% from 1997 levels. In 1997, tax equivalent net interest income of $7,108,000 increased by $291,000 or 4.27% from 1996 levels. Since 1996 rates have decreased or remained stable through 1998 and have increased net interest income over that period.

Provision for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses was $580,000 in 1998; $400,000 in 1997; and $290,000 in 1996. As of December 31, 1998, the provision was .77% of loans outstanding. The allowance for loan losses decreased $296,423 to $1,106,077 on December 31, 1998. One extra-ordinary charge-off was the primary cause of the decrease. Management analysis indicates the current allowance is adequate to fund anticipated future needs. Other Income Total other income for 1998 was $1,875,093 compared to $1,758,809 for 1997. This is a 6.61% increase. During 1998 the Bank implemented an Alternative Investment Department through which annuities, mutual funds, and other investment products are offered. This accounted for the majority of the increase in other income for 1998. The primary source for Other Income is trust income. Other sources of non- interest income consist of service charges on deposit accounts, insurance income, service fees, ATM foreign service fees, rental income, and other miscellaneous charges. Other Expenses Total other expenses for 1998 were $5,899,814. This is up $87,274 or 1.50% from 1997. Salaries and employee benefits are the largest components of other expenses. Salaries and Employee benefits totaled $3,368,338 for 1998. This was 57.09% of total other expenses. This compares with 58.44% for 1997, and 54.21% for 1996. Increases in the salaries and employee benefit expenses represent normal pay increases of the bank's employees. Hospitalization Expense increased $65,249 during 1998. This is a 36.13% increase for the year. This compares to a 25.79% decrease for 1997, and 43.20% increase in 1996. The Bank is self-insured in regard to hospitalization insurance. Expense level depends on claims filed. Software amortization expense and computer expense increased during 1998 by $56,545. This is due largely to a system upgrade and the Y2K testing the Bank has been conducting. Loan expense is down 9.77% for 1998. This is down compared to 1997 due to several foreclosures that occurred during 1997. The Bank continues its efforts to maintain control over its operation costs and is continually looking to implement cost saving programs. Income Tax SVB&T Corporation records income tax expense based on the transactions reported in its financial statements, consisting of taxes currently payable and deferred tax. Deferred taxes result because of the recognition of certain items of income and expense in different years for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences relate primarily to the gain or loss on available-for-sale investment securities, loan losses, depreciation, and loan origination fees. Differences between the effective tax rate on SVB&T Corporation's income before income tax (as reported in the consolidated statement income) and the federal statutory rate of 34% result from tax exempt interest income, state income taxes, and alternative minimum taxes. Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements contain additional information about SVB&T Corporation's income taxes. Income tax expense for 1998 was $1,042,800 compared to $921,600 in 1997 and $650,000 in 1996. The effective tax rate was 36.31% in 1998, 35.21% in 1997, and 28.10% in 1996. The effective rate increased in 1998 compared to 1997 due to increase income, and in 1997 compared to 1996 because of reduced tax exempt interest income in each year. Tax exempt income decreased 20% from 1996 to 1997. This was a planned decrease designed to get the company out of an alternative minimum tax position. In 1997 and 1996, the company paid no alternative minimum tax and utilized an alternative minimum tax credit carryover from 1995 of $126,000 in 1996. No carryover remained at December 31, 1996. Financial Condition As of December 31, 1998 total assets decreased to $182,741,046, a 4.02% decrease from December 31, 1997 total of $190,404,381. Average total assets in 1998 of $187,261,000 were $1,565,000 less than the 1997 average of $188,826,000. Total deposits decreased to $159,331,492 at December 31, 1998 from $165,871,403 at December 31, 1997 a decrease of $6,539,911 or 3.94%. This reduction in deposits was a controlled reduction by management. Management decreased the amount of non-core deposits which are more costly to maintain. Management projects a long-term deposit growth of approximately 3%. The actual growth rate may vary due to overall economic conditions in the markets served. Net loans at year-end 1998 were $142,562,922 up $3,361,102 or 24.00% above the 1997 year-end total of $139,201,820. Average loans outstanding of $139,574,000 in 1998 increased by $10,953,000 or 8.5% over the 1997 average loans outstanding of $128,621,000. Loan growth was funded primarily by a reduction in investment securities. Total investment securities available for sale at year-end 1998 were $25,474,919, and at year-end 1997 were $38,042,422. Investment securities have been stated at market value since 1993, when the Bank adopted the FASB No. 115 accounting and classified all securities as available for sale. Uses of Funds Money Market Investments Money market investments (federal funds sold and certificates of deposits with other banks) are used by the Corporation to meet lending and liquidity requirements. At December 31, 1998, money market investments were 2,860,000 an increase of $1,960,000 over December 31, 1997 balance of $900,000. Investment Securities The investment security portfolio is used as a means of investing funds over and above those needed for lending and liquidity requirements. Investment securities are purchased with the intent and ability to hold until maturity. However, all securities are categorized as available for sale. Increases or decreases in the market value of securities are charged directly to stockholder equity. During 1998, average investment securities decreased by $13,472,000 or 29.45% as compared to the $45,742,000 for 1997. This reduction funded loans and the decrease is non-core deposits. The following table presents an analysis of the investment securities portfolio for 1998, 1997 and 1996.

This is an increase of $3,064,679 or 2.2% over December 31, 1997. Real estate loans continue to be the largest component of the loan portfolio at $80,802,703. This is an increase of $1,311,967 over 1.7% over December 31, 1997. Individual loans for household and other personal expenditures is the second largest loan category for the bank. This category increased $5,611,198 to $46,469,853 for a 13.7% increase over December 31, 1997. Traditional sources of these loans such as vehicle loans have been increasingly difficult to book while maintaining an acceptable underwriting and pricing structure. The bank uses loan participations from other banks and brokers to supplement volume when local demand cannot provide a sufficient volume of quality loans. On December 31, 1998, and the bank had a total of loans purchased of $22,986,619. That is down $1,916,349 or 7.7% from a year ago. The bank carefully monitors individual loan participations as well as concentrations in a particular industry segment or geographic area. Commercial and industrial loans decreased 4,144,479 or 22.1% from December 31, 1997 to December 31, 1998. This is as a result of participations decreasing and local loan payoffs. The bank continues to aggressively solicit profitable new business that offers acceptable risk. Construction lines of credit and agricultural loans continue to a minor part of portfolio. The bank does not anticipate any significant growth in either of these market segments. Following is a schedule showing the breakdown of loans by type of loan and the maturity schedule of the loan portfolio.

The increase of $1,618,033 was a result of earnings $1,829,182 less dividends of $448,629 plus unrealized gains on securities available for sale of $230,366. Capital ratios are used by Federal bank regulators to measure a bank's strength. The Bank's ratios are well above Federal requirements. Source of Funds Deposits The main source of funding for earning assets are deposits. During 1998, the average deposits of $165,362,000 funded 94% of the average earning assets. Average total deposits for 1998 decreased by $1,624,000, or 1% as compared to 1997 average deposit totals, which decreased by $2,792,000 from 1996 or 2%. There has been a movement in average deposits over the past two years. Many customers are seeking higher rates of return on investments and have moved into alternative investments such as stocks and mutual funds. Management has funded reductions of deposits with advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Funds purchased. Management will seek to increase deposits at a time when deposits can be lent or invested at a profitable spread.

The board deems these officers have the knowledge and experience necessary to satisfactorily manage the lending activities of the Bank. Lending authority is granted to individual officers as the board feels is appropriate. For loans exceeding an individual officer's limit, a loan committee structure is in place to allow the timely and prudent review of loan requests. Loans above certain predetermined limits must be reviewed and approved by two board members prior to approval of the loan. A presentation is made at each board meeting regarding the operation of the loan department. Topics discussed include current activities, watch list and non-accrual loans, and any other loan-related issue that should be brought to the board. Reports covering the activities of the loan department are prepared for each board member. A loan review committee reviews all loan review activities including the calculation of the loan loss reserve necessary to accommodate loans that may be charged off at some future time. The loan loss reserve is calculated monthly. It is based on the historical performance of the loan portfolio as well as current and projected conditions for specific credits. The Bank's loan loss experience is summarized below: Allowance for Loan Losses (dollars in thousands) 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 Balance as of January 1 1,403 1,330 1,349 1,322 1,304 Provision for Loan Losses 580 400 290 314 410 Recoveries of Prior Loan Losses 182 106 77 76 80 Loan Losses charged to the Allowance (1,059) (433) (386) (363) (472) Balance as of December 31 1,106 1,403 1,330 1,349 1,322 Loans are placed on non-accrual status when a payment (principal and/or interest) is more than 90 days past due. All income on these loans is then recognized on a cash basis until the loan is paid off or management believes that the quality of the loan has improved enough to warrant returning the loan to accrual status. Non-performing loans are loans on non-accrual and assets such as other real estate and repossessions being held for sale. Following is a schedule of those loan categories for the previous five years.

Liquidity requirements arise from loan demand and deposit withdrawals. The objective of liquidity management is to match the availability of funds with anticipated loan and withdrawal activity. Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to match sufficient amounts of interest sensitive assets with interest sensitive liabilities. A matching of the assets and liabilities results in more consistent earnings and provides protection in case of sudden interest rate changes. Liquidity requirements are monitored on a daily basis. Main sources of short- term liquidity are cash due from banks and federal funds sold. Longer term liquidity planning includes funds available from normal maturities of certificates of deposit with other bank maturities of investment securities, loan principal payments income from operations, new deposits and alternative funding sources. These sources of funds are sufficient to meet the company's liquidity needs. In the management of interest rate sensitivity, a cumulative sensitivity ratio of less than 100% is normal in the one year or less repricing time period. However, Total repricing earning assets is 101% of the repricing liabilities. The Bank has more interest-earning assets repricing during this time period than it has interest-bearing liabilities repricing. The Company realizes the potential for income reduction should interest rates increase. At that time, restructuring of the investment portfolio would occur to increase the sensitivity ratio to a manageable position. The chart on this and the following page shows the Bank's interest rate sensitivity position as of December 31, 1998.

A Year 2000 committee and several sub-committees are working to complete all Y2K related activities according to the guidelines and recommendations of FFIEC. All recommended deadlines have been met to this point. The bank expects to spend a total of about $250,000 on Y2K related activities. Approximately one-half of that expense will be for hardware and software that can be capitalized and amortized over a period of time. The remainder is primarily labor costs that will be taken as an operating expense. Management does not expect this to have a substantial adverse effect on the bank's income. The bank is working on both a remediation contingency plan and a business resumption contingency plan. Management expects those to be completed no later than the FFIEC recommended guidelines date. It is impossible to assess the effect of Y2K related problems on the operation and profitability of the bank. Management plans to be able to offer limited essential banking services to its customers under even the most adverse conditions. The severity and length of any Y2K problems will determine the degree to which the contingency plans must be utilized and how much the operation and profitability of the bank are impacted.

Board Committees and Meetings The Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Bank hold regular bimonthly meetings and other special meetings.

In addition to meeting as a group, all members of each Board devote their time and talents to certain of the following standing committees: Executive Committee, Audit Committee, Trust Committee, Executive Compensation Committee, Loan Committee and a nomination committee. The Audit Committee reviews significant audit and accounting principles, policies, and practices, reviews the performance of the internal auditing functions and reviews examination reports of the Federal and State regulatory agencies. In carrying out its duties, the Committee meets with the independent auditors, approves the services to be performed by the independent auditors and reviews the degree of independence of the auditors. The members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. H. E. Thyen, R. J. Sermersheim (Chairman of the Committee), Brian K. Habig and J. C. Tucker. The Audit Committee met six (6) times in 1998. The Executive Compensation Committee is to review and recommend to the directors salary and bonus programs for the Senior Bank Officers. The members of the Executive Compensation Committee are Messrs. R. J. Sermersheim, Randell Catt and J. C. Tucker (Chairman of the Committee). Item 11. Executive Compensation Compensation of Officers Compensation Committee Report. Officers of the Corporation are not compensated for their services in such capacity. All officers of the Corporation are also officers of the Bank and are compensated in their capacity as Bank officers. Decisions on compensation of the Bank's executives are made by the Board of Directors of the Bank, upon the recommendation of the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board. Each member of the Compensation Committee is a non- employee director except Mr Catt who is Human Resource director for Kimball International. Pursuant to rules designed to enhance disclosure of corporation policies toward executive compensation, set forth below is a report submitted by Messrs. J. C. Tucker (Chairman), R. J. Sermersheim and Randell Catt in their capacity as the Board's Executive Compensation Committee addressing the Bank's compensation policies for 1998 as they affected all executive officers of the Bank and Mr. Seals who, for 1998, was the Bank's most highly paid executive whose total annual salary and bonus exceeded $100,000. Compensation Policies Toward Executive Officers. The Executive Compensation Committee's executive compensation policies are designed to provide competitive levels of compensation to the executive officers and to reward officers for satisfactory performance of the Corporation and the Bank as a whole. There are no established goals or standards relating to performance of the Corporation or the Bank which have been utilized in setting the base salary portion of an individual employee's compensation. Base Salary. Each executive officer is reviewed individually by the Executive Compensation Committee. The Executive Compensation Committee also reviews various banking salary surveys provided by other entities which provide information concerning average salary information within the banking industry. The background data for this information is typically generated from over 100 banks located in the Midwest with approximately $100 million to $200 million in assets. The salary portion of the executive officers' compensation is then typically established at a level near the average salary compensation of officers included in the survey with similar job responsibilities. Annual Bonus Amounts. The Bank's Incentive Bonus Plan ("Bonus Plan") for executive officers (those with titles of Senior Vice President and higher) for 1998 was based on the Bank's return on average assets (ROA) and the executives officers base salary. The "Bonus Plan" payment to executive officers was thirty percent of their base pay for 1998. Other officers receive bonuses based on net income of the Bank. Under the "Bonus Plan," a bonus pool of seven percent of the Bank's net income is established and paid bi-annually to these officers. 1996 Key Employees' Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights Plan The Corporation has adopted a stock option and stock appreciation rights program (the "Plan") for officers and key employees of the Corporation and the Bank. The Board of Directors of the Corporation believes these programs provide an important incentive to those who will be instrumental to the success of the Corporation and of the Bank. The Corporation has reserved 20,000 shares for issuance under the Plan. The Plan will expire on December 31, 2005. The Plan provides for the grant of "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, the grant of nonqualified stock options, and the grant of stock appreciation rights ("SARs"). Options and SARs may be granted under the Plan only to officers and other key employees who are in positions to make significant contributions to the success of the Corporation. The Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Bank administers the Plan. No member of this committee is eligible to receive options or SARs under the Plan at any time such individual serves on this committee. Options are exercisable upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Executive Compensation Committee, but in no event will any stock options be exercisable later than ten years after date of grant. Options granted under the Plan will vest and become exercisable at the times determined by the Executive Compensation Committee. The exercise price for all options granted under the Plan will not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The Executive Compensation Committee may also grant SARs in conjunction with all or part of any option granted under the Plan at the time of the grant of the option. Each SAR will (I) expire when the underlying option expires, and (ii) become exercisable only when and to the extent that the underlying option is eligible to be exercised. The "economic value" of a SAR may not exceed 100% of the difference between the exercise price of the number of shares covered by the underlying option and the fair market value of such shares. SARs may be exercised by surrendering the underlying option, at which point the underlying option shall no longer be exercisable (to the extent the options are surrendered upon exercise of the related SAR). Upon exercise of a SAR, the optionee is entitled to receive the economic value of such SAR, in cash, in shares of common stock of the Corporation, or any combination thereof as determined by the Executive Compensation Committee. Option Grants In Last Fiscal Year The following table provides details regarding stock options granted to Mr. Seals in 1998. In addition, the table shows the number of shares covered by both exercisable and non-exercisable stock options by Mr. Seals as of December 31, 1998. Also reported are the values for the "in-the-money" options, which represent the positive spread between the exercise price of any such existing stock options and the year-end assumed price of the Common Stock. For purposes of the following table, the year-end price of the stock was assumed to be $38.00. Because there is not an established trading market for the Common Stock, the assumed price of $38.00 may not reflect the actual price which would be paid for shares of the Common Stock in an active or established trading market and should not necessarily be relied upon when determining the value of a shareholder's investment. In addition, there are shown the hypothetical gains or option spreads that would exist for respective options. These gains are based on assumed rates of annual compound stock price appreciation of five percent (5%) and ten percent (10%) from the date the options were granted over the full option term. Gains are reported net of the option exercise price, but before any effect of taxes. In assessing these values, it should be kept in mind that no matter what value is placed on a stock option on the date of grant, its ultimate value will be dependent on the market value of the Corporation's stock at a future date, and that value would depend on the efforts of such executive to foster the future success of the Corporation for the benefit of all shareholders. The amounts reflected in this table may not necessarily be achieved.

Because there is not an established trading market for the Common Stock, the assumed price of $38.00 may not reflect the actual price which would be paid for shares of the Common Stock in an active or established trading market and should not necessarily be relied upon when determining the value of a shareholder's investment.

The Corporation has reserved 16,000 shares for issuance under this Plan. One thousand, five hundred eighty-five (1,585) shares were issued in the following amounts to the following Directors for deferred fees in 1997. The 1997 Directors Stock Option Plan, designed to work in connection with the Directors Stock Compensation Plan, provides for the granting of non-qualified stock options to Directors for Common Stock of the Corporation. Under the terms of this Plan, each Director is granted the option to purchase 50% of the number of shares received by the Director pursuant to such Director's elections under the 1997 Directors Stock Compensation Plan discussed above. The exercise price of the options will be no less than the fair market value on the last day of the calendar year preceding grant. The options vest and become exercisable on the second anniversary of the date of grant. The Corporation has reserved 8,000 shares for issuance under this Plan. The Corporation has grant options for 792 shares for 1998 in the following amounts to the following Directors: DIRECTOR 1998 Deferred 1998 Fees Options Shares Issued Granted Arnold F.

At various times in the past the Bank has adopted certain broad-based employee benefit plans in which the senior executives are permitted to participate on the same terms as non-executive employees who meet applicable eligibility criteria, subject to any legal limitations on the amount that may be contributed or the benefits that may be payable under the plans. Benefits. The Bank provides medical and pension benefits to the senior executives that are generally available to other Bank employees. The amount of perquisites, as determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to executive compensation, did not exceed 10% of salary and bonus for fiscal 1997. Mr. Seal's 1998 Compensation. Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission require that the Compensation Committee disclose the Committee's basis for compensation reported for the C.E.O. Mr. Seal's salary and bonus in 1998 were determined in the same manner as discussed above for other senior executives. The Board of Directors and the Executive Compensation Committee believes that Mr. Seals has managed the Bank well. Compensation Committee Insider Participation During the past fiscal year, Mr. Seals, the Bank's Chief Executive Officer, served on the Board of Directors, but did not serve on the Executive Compensation Committee. Mr. Seals did not participate in any discussion or vote with respect to his salary or bonus as an executive officer and excused himself from the room during the discussion by the Board of Directors of his compensation. Summary Compensation Table The following table sets forth for the fiscal years ending December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 the cash compensation paid by the Bank, as well as certain other compensation paid or awarded during those years, to the Chief Executive Officer and any other executive officer whose total annual salary and bonus exceeded $100,000 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

(2) The bonus amounts are payable pursuant to the Bank's Incentive Bonus Plan of the Bank, as described in the "Compensation Committee Report." Employee Benefit Plans Profit Sharing Retirement Plan. The Bank sponsors a tax-qualified profit sharing retirement plan which includes, effective as of January 1, 1996, a qualified cash or deferred (i.e., "401(k)") arrangement and a provision for voluntary after-tax contributions ("Profit Sharing Plan"). The Profit Sharing Plan covers substantially all employees of the Bank; an employee becomes a participant on the first January 1st or July 1st which coincides with or immediately follows the date you became an employee. If you became an Employee on or after January 1, 1996, you will be eligible to participate on the Plan Entry Date which falls on or after the first twelve consecutive (12) month period during which you have completed at least one thousand (1,000) hours of service. The twelve (12) month period begins when you first commence employment and on each Plan Year beginning on or after that date. The Bank makes discretionary "profit sharing" contributions under the Profit Sharing Plan and allows participants to make salary deferral and rollover contributions. Participants' salary deferral contributions may be made, on pre-income tax basis, in an amount ranging from 1% to 12% of the participant's "compensation" (as defined). Participants' salary deferral and rollover contributions are fully vested when made; discretionary profit sharing contributions are subject to a vesting schedule pursuant to which participants become vested on a graduated basis, at the rate of 10% per year for the first four full years of service and at the rate of 20% per year thereafter so that a participant will become fully vested in the Bank's profit sharing contributions after completing seven full years of service. In addition, a participant will attributable to the Bank's discretionary profit sharing contributions on death, "disability" (as defined), upon attaining age 60 and completing 10 years of service, and upon attaining age 65. All amounts contributed to the Profit Sharing Plan are invested by the Bank, as Trustee, for the benefit of all participants and their designated beneficiaries. Upon termination of employment with the Bank or Corporation for reason, a participant (or his or her designated beneficiary) will be entitled to receive the vested balance of his or her account under the Profit Sharing Plan. Participants may elect to receive the vested balance of their account in either a single lump sum or in monthly, quarterly or annual installments over a fixed period of time, not to exceed the life expectancy of the participant or the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the participant and his or her designated beneficiary. The Profit Sharing Plan also provides for the distribution of the participant salary deferrals on account of "financial hardship" (as defined) and authorizes the making of loans to participants from that portion of their Profit Sharing Plan accounts attributable to salary deferral contributions. Director Fees Directors of the Bank receive director's fees of $600 per month. In addition, directors which hold committee positions may be compensated from $25 to $100 per meeting attended. No separate fees are paid for services as a director of the Corporation. Item 12.

This department sells annuities, mutual funds, stocks, bonds, life insurance and counsels clients regarding their personal finances. We serviced over 50 clients this year and sold over $2.3 million in investment products. Y2K As suggested by regulators, the year 2000 problems and solutions have been reported to depositors of the Bank. We expect to spend about $250,000 on Y2K related activities. Approximately one-half of the expense will be for computer hardware and software, and the remainder will be labor costs. Springs Valley Bank has been able to meet and comply with all Federal regulations and guidelines established for efficient data processing transition to the year 2000. Electronic Banking The Bank's 5-year strategic plan includes the application of new technology to a variety of electronic delivery systems for our products and services. This is necessary to stay abreast of competition and provide what our customers want. Within five years, 79% of all community banks will offer home banking via PC. With the introduction of our informational and e-mail Web site in 1997, we took the first step in that direction, gaining valuable experience in the design, maintenance and operation of the site. SVB&T will be ready for the explosive growth projected for home banking when we offer it to our customers. Integration of new and existing systems also will increase efficiency, reduce transaction costs, expand our marketing/service area and enable us to provide even more off-premise banking services for our customers. With electronic delivery systems, location and number of branches also become less important. SVB&T can be accessed on line at www.svbt.com. Stock Repurchase Stock ownership in small community banks does not generally provide easily accessed liquidity for investors. The absence of an active market for shares often means that shareholders wishing to sell anything more than a very modest number of shares will have to wait substantially longer to sell than shareholders of more widely traded companies. Stock repurchase is a means of improving the liquidity of SVB&T Corporation shares. Not only will the repurchase of shares benefit those choosing to sell, but the action of the repurchase itself and its somewhat higher price may encourage other potential investors, both existing shareholders and new investors, to take a more active interest in the stock. The Directors join us in recognizing Maurice Kuper upon his retirement. We are very grateful for his 21 years of dedicated service to the Bank. Mr. Kuper's wise and professional counsel will be missed. The Staff, Management, and Directors are pleased to report the very positive results of our 1998 operations. We appreciate your continued support. Sincerely, ARNOLD F. HABIG RONALD G.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation - The accounting and reporting policies of SVB&T Corporation and Subsidiary (the Bank) are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The more significant of the principles used in preparing the financial statements are briefly described below. Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SVB&T Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Springs Valley Bank & Trust Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Nature of Operations - SVB&T Corporation operates under a charter from the State of Indiana and provides full banking services, including trust services. As a state bank, SVB&T Corporation is subject to regulation by the Department of Financial Institutions of the State of Indiana and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The area served by the Bank is primarily Orange, Clark, Dubois and the surrounding counties in Southern Indiana. Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash, due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one day periods. Investment Securities Available for Sale - The Bank buys investment debt securities with the intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. However, management has determined that all debt securities would be available for sale in response to certain situations, such as changes in interest rates and prepayment risk, need for liquidity, changes in availability and yield on alternative investments, and changes in funding sources and terms. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, debt securities are reported at estimated market values in the statement of financial condition. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported as a net amount in the statement of comprehensive income. Accreted discounts and amortized premiums are included in earnings using the straight line method. Gains or losses on dispositions are computed using the specific identification method. Investment Securities Held to Maturity - The Bank owns stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. This stock is classified as held to maturity and is carried at cost. Loans - Loans that management has both the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay off are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income on commercial loans, simple interest installment loans and real estate mortgage loans is recognized based on the outstanding principal balances at the stated rates. Real estate mortgage loan origination fees and costs are amortized over the life of the loan. Interest income for add-on installment loans is recognized by the rule of 78's method which approximates the interest method. Accrual of interest income on loans and impaired loans is discontinued when payments have become delinquent for 90 days. Upon non-accrual status, all accrued interest receivable on a loan is written off. Any subsequent payments are applied to interest until all interest due is totally paid. Any remaining amounts are applied to principal. As part of its interest rate risk management, the Bank sells fixed rate mortgage loans into the secondary market. At December 31, 1998, there were no mortgage loans available for sale. Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluations of collectibility and prior loan loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions and trends that may affect the borrowers ability to pay. The allowance is established by a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are written off against the allowance when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(Continued) Buildings and Equipment - Buildings and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings are depreciated on the straight line method using lives ranging from 10 to 40 years. Equipment is depreciated on the straight line method using lives ranging from 5 to 10 years. Other Real Estate - Real estate acquired in foreclosures is carried at the lower of the outstanding loan balance plus accrued interest or fair value of the property. Amounts necessary to write loans down to fair value are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Income Tax - Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes, related primarily to differences between the basis of available-for-sale investment securities, allowance for loan losses, accumulated depreciation and loan origination fees. The deferred tax asset or liability represents the future tax return consequences of those differences. SVB&T Corporation and Springs Valley Bank & Trust file consolidated income tax returns. Income tax expense is allocated to each according to actual earnings prior to consolidation. Net Income Per Share - Net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Trust Fees - Trust fees are recorded on the accrual basis. Stock Split - A two-for-one stock split was declared on July 15, 1997 and distributed on August 11, 1997. All per share amounts have been adjusted to retroactively reflect this stock split. Note 2 - Effect of Changes in Accounting Principles Effective in 1998, the Bank adopted FASB Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". The adoption of this accounting standard did not effect the Bank's financial condition or results of operations. It established new rules for reporting comprehensive income which have been reflected in these financial statements. Note 3- Restriction on Cash and Due From Banks The Bank is required to maintain average funds in cash and on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average balance required at December 31, 1998 was $918,000.

The Bank's contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996 were $278,876 and $245,401 and $267,270.

Retirement Trust own in excess of 50% of the outstanding capital stock of SVB&T Corporation. The Bank is the principal depository for Kimball International, Inc. and is also the trustee for the Kimball International Retirement Trust. Amounts on deposit with the Bank by Kimball International, Kimball International Retirement Plan and Employee Benefit Plan were $2,475,521 at December 31, 1998 and $8,894,855 at December 31,1997. The Bank serves as Trustee for Kimball International's retirement and employee benefit plans and rents office space to Kimball. Fees paid to the Bank for these services by Kimball International in 1998, 1997 and 1996 were $547,704, $658,000 and $578,000. Amounts receivable from Kimball International for these services were $-0- at December 31, 1998, $-0- at December 31,1997 and $168,950 at December 31, 1996. In the ordinary course of business, the Bank makes loans to executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, their related companies and family members. These loans are made on substantially the same terms as those with unrelated parties and do not involve unusual risks of collectibility. Total loans to executive officers, directors and principal shareholders for 1998 were as follows: Balance, January 1, 1998 $2,137,559 New loans 235,213 Repayments (116,745) Changes in persons included 281,276 Balance, December 31, 1998 $2,537,303 Note 14 - Lease Commitments Minimum lease payments at December 31, 1998, under operating lease commitments, total $-0-. Operating expenses include rental expense of $600 in 1998, $30,856 in 1997 and $40,366 in 1996. Note 15 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities The Bank is party to financial transactions involving off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business. These financial transactions include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the statement of condition. The contract amounts of these transactions reflect the extent of involvement the Corporation has in the particular financial instruments. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies when entering into these off-balance-sheet transactions as it does for on-balance-sheet transactions. Financial transactions with off-balance-sheet credit risk at December 31, 1998 and 1997 were as follows: 1998 1997 Commitments to extend credit $16,118,386 $ 9,700,719 Standby letters of credit $ 611,300 $ 730,600 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Letters of credit are primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Bank is subject to claims and lawsuits which arise in the ordinary course of business. Based on information presently available and advice received from legal counsel representing the Bank in connection with such claims and lawsuits, it is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate determination of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 16 - Restrictions on Retained Earnings SVB&T Corporation's principal source of funds for dividends is Springs Valley Bank & Trust Company, its wholly owned subsidiary. The amount of dividends that the Bank may pay SVB&T Corporation without regulatory approval is limited by state law to defined net income for 1998, 1997 and 1996 less any dividends paid in those years. In addition, Federal regulations require the Bank to maintain certain capital levels based on risk-weighted assets. At December 31, 1998, approximately $3,697,000 of the Bank's retained earnings were available for dividend payments to the SVB&T Corporation. Note 17 - Regulatory Matters The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory-and possible additional discretionary-actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Banks financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Banks assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Banks capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total Capital and Tier 1 Capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 Capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1998, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997 the Bank has been categorized as well- capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the institutions category. The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table below. Banks Amounts Required for Required to be As of December 31, 1998: and Ratio Regulatory Purposes Well Capitalized Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets $19,065,698 $ 5,191,229 $ 6,489,037 14.7% 4.0% 5% or higher Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets $20,171,775 $10,382,459 $12,978,074 15.5% 8.0% 10% or higher Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets $19,065,698 $ 7,264,712 $ 9,080,890 10.5% 4.0% 5% or higher As of December 31, 1997: Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets $17,776,386 $ 5,042,767 $ 7,564,150 14.1% 4.0% 5% or higher Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets $19,173,386 $10,085,533 $12,606,917 15.2% 8.0% 10% or higher Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets $17,776,386 $ 7,666,424 $ 9,583,030 9.3% 4.0% 5% or higher Note 18 - Concentrations of Credit At December 31, 1998 the total amount of due from banks included $1,109,122 with Bank One Kentucky and $181,936 with Dubois County Bank which is in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's insured limit of $100,000 per institution. The majority of investments in state and municipal securities involve governmental entities in the State of Indiana. A majority of the Bank's loans, commitments and letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Bank's market area of Orange, Clark, Dubois and surrounding counties in Southern Indiana. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 5. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its customers' ability to honor their loan contracts is dependent on the strength of the manufacturing economic sectors in this geographic area. Note 19 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments Carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments at December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows: 1998 1997 Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents $ 7,134,480 $ 7,134,480 $ 5,467,927 $5,467,927 Investment securities 26,065,619 26,065,619 38,620,722 38,620,722 Loans 142,562,922 144,740,788 139,201,820 140,861,000 Interest receivable 1,195,693 1,195,693 1,319,476 1,319,476 LIABILITIES Deposits $159,331,492 $160,449,268 $165,871,403 $166,646,000 Short-term borrowings 0 0 4,000,000 4,000,000 Long-term borrowings 1,000,000 967,461 0 0 Interest Payable 712,651 712,651 824,298 824,298 Consolidated Statements Of Financial Condition Note 19 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued) The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments. Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and federal funds sold is a reasonable estimate of their fair value. Investment Securities Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices. Loans For variable rate loans and short-term fixed rate loans that adjust rates frequently, fair values are based on the carrying value of those loans. For long-term fixed rate loans, the fair values are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality. For other financial instruments classified as loans (bankers acceptances, economic development revenue bonds, and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements), fair values are based on the carrying value of those instruments. Anticipated future loan losses have been deducted. Interest Receivable The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable is a reasonable estimate of its fair value. Deposit Liabilities The carrying values of demand deposit, NOW, savings and money market savings accounts are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date and as such are the fair value. For variable rate time deposits (IRA deposits) which reprice quarterly, fair values are based on the carrying value of the accounts. The fair value of fixed rate certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Short-Term Borrowings The carrying amounts short-term borrowings are reasonable estimates of their fair values. Interest Payable The carrying amount of accrued interest payable is a reasonable estimate of its fair value. Long-Term Borrowings The fair value of fixed rate, long-term borrowings is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates for borrowings of similar maturities.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of SVB&T Corporation and Subsidiary at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

It includes the 1997 creation of our Internet Web site and plans for the introduction of our new VISA CHECK CARD in 1999. These will be followed at some future date by telephone banking and, even later, Internet home banking. The Springs Valley Bank & Trust Company VISA CHECK CARD looks like a credit card but works like a check. It can be used as an ATM card at any ATM displaying the MONEY-STATION, JEANIE, PLUS and VISA logos. When used to make purchases, the funds are automatically deducted from the users checking account balance. It's accepted wherever the VISA symbol is displayed. Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure... Many computers and programs were not designed to handle dates beyond 1999. And since so many elements of our lives depend on computers, this could be a potential problem for anyone who does not adequately prepare for the date change. We have been working on the Year 2000 issue for quite sometime now. We have a committee made up of personnel from all areas of the bank that is focused on preparing Springs Valley Bank & Trust for the Year 2000. All of our computers and programs are being evaluated and tested for Year 2000 readiness. Experts rank the financial services industry Number One in Year 2000 Readiness. Our banks federal and state regulators are also monitoring our progress. So far, we have met all of the guidelines and deadlines set by those regulators. Springs Valley Bank will continue to face the Year 2000 computer challenges head-on to ensure "business as usual" as we approach the new millennium. We look forward to providing you with Personal Service well into the next century. As always, our customers deposits are protected by FDIC Insurance up to $100,000.
