             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 
 
                    INDIANA FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                                 September 30, 1996

   NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation

   The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
   been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
   for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and
   Article 10 of regulation S-X.  Accordingly, such statements do not include
   all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
   accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
   management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
   considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating
   results for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 are not
   necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
   ending December 31, 1996.

   NOTE 2 - Earnings Per Share

   Earnings per share of common stock have been determined by dividing net
   income for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common
   stock equivalents outstanding.  Common stock options in the calculation
   assume purchase of treasury stock with the option proceeds at the average
   market price for the period (when dilutive).

   NOTE 3 - Reclassification

   Certain amounts in the 1995 condensed consolidated financial statements have
   been reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation.

   NOTE 4 - Marketable Debt and Mortgage-Backed Securities

   NOTE 5 - Accounting by Creditors for Impaired Loans

   On January 1, 1995, Indiana Federal Corporation ("the Corporation") adopted
   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by
   Creditors for Impairment of a Loan."  Under the new standard, the allowance
   for credit losses related to loans that are identified for evaluation in
   accordance with SFAS No. 114 is based on discounted cash flows using the
   loan's initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral
   for certain collateral dependent loans.  Prior to 1995, the allowance for
   credit losses related to these loans was based on undiscounted cash flows or
   the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans.  A loan is
   considered impaired when a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts
   due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

   In accordance with SFAS No. 114, a loan is classified as in-substance
   foreclosure when the Bank has taken possession of the collateral regardless
   of whether formal foreclosure proceedings take place.  Loans previously
   classified as in-substance foreclosure but where the Company has not taken
   possession of the collateral continue to be classified as impaired loans.

   At September 30, 1996, the recorded investment in loans that are considered
   to be impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $6.6 million of which $4.4 million
   were on a non-accrual basis.  The average recorded investment in impaired
   loans during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $6.2 million.  For
   the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Bank recognized
   interest income on those impaired loans of $20,000 and $75,000,
   respectively.

   NOTE 6 - Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights

   The Corporation originates and purchases mortgage loans for sale in the
   secondary market, and sells the loans with servicing either retained or
   released.  Effective January 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 122,
   "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights".  For 

                                         8


   servicing retained, SFAS No. 122 requires capitalizing the cost of mortgage
   servicing rights, regardless of whether those rights were acquired through
   origination or purchase activities. 

   Beginning in 1996, the total cost of mortgage loans purchased or originated
   with the intent to sell is allocated between the loan servicing right and
   the mortgage loan without servicing, based on their relative fair values at
   the date of origination or purchase.  The capitalized cost of loan servicing
   rights is amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net
   future servicing revenue.  Estimated servicing costs include direct costs
   associated with performing the servicing function and appropriate
   allocations of other costs. 

   Mortgage servicing rights are periodically evaluated for impairment. 
   Impairment represents the excess of cost of an individual mortgage servicing
   rights stratum over its fair value, and is recognized through a valuation
   allowance.  The amount capitalized approximated the market value of
   servicing rights at September 30, 1996 and, accordingly, no valuation
   allowance for servicing rights was established.  Quoted market prices were
   used to estimate the fair value of servicing rights at September 30, 1996.

   The amounts capitalized during the three and nine month periods ended
   September 30, 1996 were $38,379 and $305,768, respectively.  The capitalized
   amounts are being amortized over the estimated lives of the loans.  The
   amortization in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996
   was $14,273 and $28,331, respectively.  At September 30, 1996, the fair
   value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights totaled $277,437.

   NOTE 7 - Investment in Forrest Holdings, Inc.

   On February 2, 1996, the Corporation purchased for $2.5 million a one-third
   interest in Forrest Holdings, Inc. of Oak Brook, Illinois.  Forrest
   Holdings, Inc. owns and operates Forrest Financial Corporation, a leasing
   company which provides financing for the acquisition of information systems,
   including equipment, software, training and maintenance.

                        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                  OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                            INDIANA FEDERAL CORPORATION


   FINANCIAL CONDITION

   Indiana Federal Corporation (the "Corporation") the parent company of
   Indiana Federal Bank for Savings (the "Bank"), had total assets of $809.1
   million at September 30, 1996, compared to total assets of $721.3 million at 
   December 31, 1995.  The growth in total assets primarily resulted from the
   increase of $80.2 million and $15.3 million in net loans receivable and
   mortgage-backed securities, respectively, offset by a $15.2 decline in loans
   held for sale.  The growth in assets was funded with increases of $26.3
   million in deposits and $59.1 million in Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB")
   advances and other borrowings.

   Investment securities increased to $79.7 million at September 30, 1996 from
   $72.7 million at December 31, 1995.  The increase primarily resulted from
   the $15.0 million purchase of Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA")
   medium term notes, and a $5.3 million purchase of Federal Home Loan Mortgage
   Corporation ("FHLMC") REMICs.  These purchases more than offset normal
   maturities and principal repayments from the investment portfolio.

   Mortgage-backed securities increased to $42.1 million at September 30, 1996
   from $26.7 million at December 31, 1995.  The increase was the result of
   management's decision to securitize $10.0 million of fixed-rate, one- to
   four-family mortgage loans with FHLMC and a separate $10.0 million purchase
   of 15 year fixed-rate FHLMC and FNMA mortgage-backed securities.

   The net loan portfolio balance at September 30, 1996 increased $80.2 million
   to $602.9 million from $522.7 million at December 31, 1995. One- to four-
   family mortgage, income producing property, consumer and commercial loans
   originated and purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 1996
   were $91.4 million, $16.8 million, $57.6 million and $51.4 million,
   respectively, totaling $217.2 million or $82.6 million more than the $134.6
   million originated and purchased during the same period a year ago.  The
   consumer loan volume includes $24.7 million of home equity loans purchased
   from Amerus Bank.  Loan repayments totaled $98.6 million for the nine months
   ended September 30, 1996 compared to $101.4 million for the same period last
   year.  Sales of one- to four-family fixed-rate mortgage loans increased to
   $44.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $27.9
   million for the same period a year ago.

   Of the $91.4 million in one- to four-family mortgage loans originated and
   purchased, $41.8 million or 45.7 percent consisted of adjustable-rate
   mortgage loans, including $23.4 million in short-term construction loans. 
   The remaining $49.6 million of one- to four-family mortgage loans
   represented long-term, fixed-rate loan originations.  Included in 


                                         10



   fixed-rate loan originations were $11.0 million of 15 year loans which were
   retained in the loan portfolio, $9.2 million of 30 year FHA and VA loans
   which were purchased from correspondents and $29.4 million of 30 year fixed-
   rate loans which were originated for sale.  Fixed-rate loans held for sale
   at September 30, 1996 decreased to $883,000 from $16.0 million at December
   31, 1995.  The loans held for sale at September 30, 1996 are all held to be
   delivered pursuant to forward sales commitments.  Loans held for sale are
   accounted for on a lower of cost or market basis.  As of September 30, 1996,
   the Corporation had recorded a net adjustment of $5,072 to reduce the book
   value of these loans to their fair market value.

   Deposits increased to $559.2 million at September 30, 1996 from $532.9
   million at December 31, 1995.  The increase in deposits occurred primarily
   as a result of an increase of $10.5 million in passbook, money market and
   other transaction accounts and an increase of $15.8 million in certificate
   of deposit balances.

   Shareholders' equity decreased to $70.0 million or $14.77 per share at
   September 30, 1996 from $70.7 million or $14.98 per share at December 31,
   1995.  The decrease in shareholders' equity was primarily the result of a
   $1.1 million decrease in unrealized gains on the available-for-sale
   securities portfolio and the payment of $3.0 million in cash dividends.

   ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

   Management attempts to control fluctuations in net interest income which
   result from an imbalance in the volume of assets and liabilities repricing
   during a period of time.  The Corporation attempts to mitigate its interest
   rate risk exposure by managing the maturity, prepayment and repricing
   characteristics of assets and liabilities.  The Corporation retains certain
   fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans and sells in the secondary market
   conforming thirty-year fixed-rate mortgage loans.  At September 30, 1996,
   the volume of liabilities repricing in one year or less exceeded the volume
   of assets repricing in one year or less ("one year gap") by $96.3 million or
   a negative 12.11 percent of the Corporation's total assets.  This figure
   compares to a negative 12.38 percent one year gap at December 31, 1995.

   NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND LOAN LOSS RESERVES

   The Corporation's non-performing assets decreased to $10.7 million or 1.32
   percent of total assets at September 30, 1996 from $11.0 million or 1.53
   percent of total assets at December 31, 1995.

   Management continuously reviews the various loan portfolios to determine
   appropriate loan loss reserve levels.  Factors considered in these reviews
   include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, loan mix,
   historical charge-offs, condition of the underlying collateral and the
   ability of the borrower to repay the loan.  Management, as a result of this 


                                         11


   review process, recorded provision for loan losses of $265,000 and $465,000,
   respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996
   compared to $2,000 and $177,000, for the three and nine months ended
   September 30, 1995.  The growth in the loan portfolio primarily was in
   commercial, construction and home equity loans, which typically have higher
   risks.  In response to this loan growth and higher risk associated with the
   loan mix, the Corporation increased its provision for loan losses.

   Based on available information, management believes that the allowance for
   loan losses is adequate to absorb potential losses in the portfolio;
   however, future additions to the allowance may be necessary, based on
   changes in economic conditions.  In addition, various regulatory agencies
   periodically review the allowance for loan losses, and may require that
   additions be made based upon their judgement of information available to
   them at the time of their examination.  At September 30, 1996, the
   Corporation's allowance for loan losses totaled $6.9 million or 1.13 percent
   of net loans receivable compared to $6.7 million or 1.27 percent of net
   loans receivable at December 31, 1995.

   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   The Corporation's third quarter 1996 earnings were substantially impacted by
   a non-recurring, pre-tax charge of $2.8 million resulting from legislation
   signed into law on September 30, 1996, to recapitalize the Federal Deposit
   Insurance Corporation's ("FDIC") Savings Association Insurance Fund
   ("SAIF").  This one-time special assessment reduced third quarter and year-
   to-date earnings by $1.7 million or $0.36 per share.  Net income for the
   third quarter of 1996 was $195,000 or $0.04 per share, compared to net
   income of $1.7 million or $0.34 per share for the same period in 1995.  For
   the nine months ended September 30, 1996, net income was $3.2 million or
   $0.67 per share compared to $5.4 million or $1.12 per share for the same
   period in 1995.  Earnings per share for the third quarter of 1996, excluding
   the one-time special deposit premium assessment, would have increased by 18
   percent to $0.40 per share compared to $0.34 per share for the similar 1995
   quarter.  The return on average shareholders' equity, excluding the one-time
   SAIF assessment, was 9.30 percent for the nine months ended September 30,
   1996 compared to 10.93 percent for the same period in 1995.  The return on
   average assets, excluding the one-time special SAIF assessment, was .86
   percent for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to 1.01
   percent for the same period last year.

   The Corporation's net income is primarily dependent upon the difference
   between interest earned on its loans and investments and interest paid on
   deposits and borrowings.  The Corporation's net interest income after
   provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 1996
   decreased to $6.1 million compared to $6.2 million for the same period in
   1995.  Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the nine
   months ended September 30, 1996 decreased to $18.0 million from $18.9
   million for the same period last year.  The decline in net interest income
   after provision for loan losses was a result of higher interest rates on
   liability products and lower yields on interest-earning assets and higher
   provision for loan losses.  The net interest margin decreased to 3.69
   percent for the 


                                         12


   three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to 3.81 percent for the same
   period last year.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the net
   interest margin declined to 3.65 percent compared to 3.79 percent for the
   same period last year.

   Other income when excluding gains and losses on the sale of assets increased
   to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996, compared to
   $1.0 million for the same period last year.  The increase was primarily due
   to higher commissions on the sale of insurance and securities and customer
   services fees.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, other income
   when excluding gains and losses on the sale of assets increased to $3.6
   million from $3.1 million for the same period last year.  The increase was
   due to higher commissions on the sale of insurance and securities and
   customer services fees and a prepayment penalty of $200,000 on the payoff of
   an income producing property loan.

   Excluding the one-time SAIF assessment of $2.8 million, other expenses
   declined to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996
   compared to $4.9 million for the same period last year.  For the nine months 
   ended September 30, 1996, other expenses declined to $14.3 million,
   excluding the one-time SAIF assessment, compared to $14.5 million for the
   same period last year.  The decline in other expenses was primarily due to
   efficiencies realized in 1996 from the acquisition of American State Bank
   and the NCB Corporation.

   Income tax expenses, excluding the $1.1 million tax benefit on the $2.8
   million SAIF assessment, totaled $734,000, an effective tax rate of 27.8
   percent for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to $571,000,
   an effective tax rate of 25.4 percent for the same period last year.  For
   the nine months ended September 30, 1996, income tax expenses, excluding the
   one-time SAIF assessment, totaled $1,706,000 or an effective tax rate of
   25.8 percent compared to $2,136,000 or an effective tax rate of 28.2 percent
   for the same period last year.  Provision for income tax expense for the
   three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 included low to moderate
   income housing tax credits of $315,000 and $942,000, respectively, compared
   to $237,000 and $811,000, respectively for the same period last year.

   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   Indiana Federal maintains certain levels of cash and other liquid assets to
   fund normal volumes of loan commitments, savings deposit activity and other
   obligations.  The Office of Thrift Supervision requires thrifts to maintain
   their liquidity ratio (cash and cash equivalent investments to net
   withdrawable deposits and borrowing due within one year) in excess of five
   percent.  As of September 30, 1996 and 1995, the Bank's liquidity ratio was
   5.84 percent and 7.63 percent, respectively, which were both in excess of
   the minimum regulatory requirement.

   The Corporation's primary sources of funds include loan repayments, advances
   from the FHLB of Indianapolis, reverse repurchase agreements, deposits and
   loan sales.  At September 30, 1996, the Corporation had commitments to
   originate $34.1 million of loans 

                                         13


   (including $14.2 million in unused lines of credit).  At the same date,
   scheduled maturities of certificates of deposit during the succeeding 12
   months amounted to $132.3 million (including $100.1 million within three
   months or less) and scheduled maturities of FHLB advances during such 12-
   month period amounted to $121.4 million.  Management considers its current
   liquidity and additional sources of funds adequate to meet outstanding loan
   commitments.

   Current regulatory standards impose the following capital requirements:
   risk-based capital standard expressed as a percent of risk-adjusted assets,
   a leverage ratio of core capital to total adjusted assets and a tangible
   capital ratio expressed as a percent of total adjusted assets.  As of
   September 30, 1996, the Bank substantially exceeded all regulatory capital
   requirements.

   At September 30, 1996, the Bank's tangible capital was $48.1 million or 6.09
   percent of adjusted total assets, which was in excess of the 1.5 percent
   requirement by $36.3 million.  In addition, at September 30, 1996, the Bank
   had core capital of $48.1 million or 6.09 percent of adjusted total assets,
   which exceeded the 3.0 percent requirement by $24.4 million.  The Bank also
   had risk-based capital of $53.6 million at September 30, 1996 or 9.93
   percent, which exceeded the 8.0 percent risk based capital requirement by
   $10.4 million.

   At September 30, 1996, the Corporation had acquired a total of 1,110,000
   shares of its outstanding common shares through its previously announced
   share repurchase programs.  The Corporation acquired 7,000 shares in the
   nine months ended September 30, 1996.

   The Board of Directors approved a $.18 per share, or $854,700 cash dividend
   for the third quarter of 1996.

   IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

   In June 1996, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
   No. 125 ("SFAS No. 125"), "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
   Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."  This statement
   applies a "financial-components approach" in recognizing assets and
   liabilities, focusing on control of such financial assets and liabilities. 
   Under SFAS No. 125, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets
   it controls and the liabilities it has incurred.  An entity ceases to
   recognize assets when control has been surrendered, and it ceases to
   recognize liabilities when they are extinguished.  SFAS No. 125 establishes
   standards to distinguish between transfers of financial assets that are
   sales and transfers of financial assets that are secured borrowings.  SFAS
   No. 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets that
   are secured borrowings.  SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and
   servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring
   after December 31, 1996.  The Corporation does not expect this pronouncement
   to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial condition or
   results of operations.


                                         14

   RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

   Legislation regarding bad debt recapture has been enacted.  The legislation
   requires recapture of reserves accumulated after 1987.  The recapture tax on
   post-1987 reserves must be paid over a six year period starting in 1996. 
   The payment of the tax can be deferred in each of 1996 and 1997 if an
   institution originates at least the same average annual principal amount of
   mortgage loans that it originated in the six years prior to 1996. 
   Management does not believe that this legislation will have a material
   impact on the operations of the Corporation.
