EXHIBIT 99 ---------- River Valley Bancorp P.O. Box 1590 Madison, Indiana 47250-0590 (812)273-4949 Fax - (812) 273-4944 To Our Shareholders, Customers, and Friends: It is my pleasure to present to you River Valley Bancorp's sixth Annual Report to Shareholders covering the year ending December 31, 2001. The year of 2001 will always be defined by the events of September 11th. Our lives have been scarred by those tragic events, but our souls have been lifted by a new sense of patriotism and hope. America's well being was challenged, but not our spirit. History will record the tragedy and the hatred of those events, but the true newsmaker that we bore witness to was the rekindled spirit of goodness. This renewal has transformed our nation, our people, and I am pleased to say, our Company. Our Company's own renewal is a process that began in 1999. I am proud to report this commitment produced yet another record year for 2001. The Corporation has not only prospered; it has positioned itself for continued growth and profitability for the future. The Corporation has had solid balance sheet growth, made strategic commitments in facilities and technology, and positioned itself for meeting the needs of an expanded customer base. Through our subsidiary, River Valley Financial Bank, we became our county's largest financial institution, taking that century old distinction away from a bank that is recognized as Indiana's oldest financial institution. Operationally for the year ended December 31, 2001, net income was $1,976,000, or basic earnings per share of $2.50, compared to $1,610,000, or $1.88 basic earnings per share, reported in 2000. The return on average assets for fiscal 2001 was 1.09%; the return on average equity was 11.27%. For fiscal 2000 those numbers were 1.05% and 9.45% respectively. The earnings per share reflected not only stronger profitability, but prudent repurchase of outstanding shares. The book value of shares outstanding as of December 31, 2001 was $22.21 compared to $19.78 at December 31, 2000. The Organization experienced good asset growth in fiscal 2001 led by strong loan growth. Assets totaled $191.6 million as of December 31, 2001, an increase of 18.2%. Net loans, including loans held for sale, were $158.0 million, an increase of $17.0 million from that recorded as of December 31, 2000, or a 12.1% increase. Deposits also increased by $15.4 million, or 11.8% to $145.6 million as of December 31, 2001. In spite of the economic downturn reported in 2001, the Corporation diligently controlled non-performing loans while providing adequate funding for its allowance for loan losses. As of December 31, 2001, non-performing loans totaled $690,000, or 0.36% of total assets, compared to 0.38% of total assets at year-end 2000. The Corporation raised its loan loss reserve ratio to 1.25% of total loans by providing $450,000 to allowances for loan losses in 2001, up from the $227,000 provided for in 2000. Your Corporation had another record year. We are proud of our accomplishments, but most importantly, mindful of the realities of September 11th that say "what we take for granted can hurt us." We thank you for your continued support and patronage. May God continue to bless us all. Respectfully Submitted, /s/ Matthew P. Forrester Matthew P. Forrester President, CEO River Valley Bancorp BUSINESS OF RIVER VALLEY River Valley Bancorp ("River Valley" or the "Corporation"), an Indiana corporation, was formed in 1996 for the primary purpose of purchasing all of the issued and outstanding common stock of River Valley Financial Bank (formerly Madison First Federal Savings and Loan Association; hereinafter "River Valley Financial" or the "Bank") in its conversion from mutual to stock form. The conversion offering was completed on December 20, 1996, with the sale of 1,190,250 common shares at an initial offering price of $10.00 per share. On December 23, 1996, the Corporation utilized approximately $3.0 million of the net conversion proceeds to purchase 95.6% of the outstanding common shares of Citizens National Bank of Madison ("Citizens") in a transaction that was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. River Valley Financial and Citizens merged on November 20, 1997. Future references to River Valley, River Valley Financial and Citizens are utilized herein, as the context requires. The activities of River Valley have been limited primarily to holding the stock of the Bank. River Valley Financial was organized in 1875 under the laws of the United States of America. River Valley Financial conducts operations from its four full-service office locations in Jefferson County and offers a variety of deposit and lending services to consumer and commercial customers in Jefferson and surrounding counties. The Corporation is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision of the U.S. Department of Treasury (the "OTS"). River Valley Financial is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the OTS and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). Deposits in River Valley Financial are insured up to applicable limits by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the FDIC. MARKET PRICE OF THE CORPORATION'S COMMON SHARES AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS There were 809,951 common shares of River Valley Bancorp outstanding at February 19, 2002, held of record by 359 shareholders. The number of shareholders does not reflect the number of persons or entities who may hold stock in nominee or "street name." Since December of 1996, the Corporation's common shares have been listed on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("Nasdaq"), under the symbol "RIVR". Presented on the following page are the high and low sale prices for the Corporation's common shares, as well as cash distributions paid thereon since December 1999.

Under OTS regulations applicable to converted savings associations, River Valley Financial is not permitted to pay a cash dividend on its common shares if the regulatory capital of River Valley Financial would, as a result of the payment of such dividend, be reduced below the amount required for the liquidation account (which was established for the purpose of granting a limited priority claim on the assets of River Valley Financial, in the event of a complete liquidation, to those members of River Valley Financial before the Conversion who maintain a savings account at River Valley Financial after the Conversion) or applicable regulatory capital requirements prescribed by the OTS. Regulations of the OTS impose limitations on the payment of dividends and other capital distributions by savings associations. The OTS recently amended its capital distribution regulation in a final rule, which took effect on April 1, 1999. Because the Bank is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, it is required to file a notice with the OTS 30 days before making any capital distributions to the Holding Company. It may also have to file an application for approval of a proposed capital distribution with the OTS if the Bank is not eligible for expedited treatment under the OTS's application processing rules, or the total amount of all capital distributions, including the proposed capital distribution, for the applicable calendar year would exceed an amount equal to the Bank's net earnings for that year to date plus the Bank's retained net earnings for the preceding two years. The Bank must also file an application for approval of a proposed capital distribution if, following the proposed distribution, the Bank would not be at least adequately capitalized under the OTS prompt corrective action regulations, or if the proposed distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any applicable statute, regulation, or agreement between the OTS or the FDIC.

River Valley Bancorp MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General As discussed previously, River Valley was incorporated for the primary purpose of owning all of the outstanding shares of River Valley Financial. As a result, the discussion that follows focuses on River Valley Financial's financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition as of December 31, 2001 and River Valley's results of operations for periods prior to that date should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. River Valley's operations and River Valley's actual results could differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are discussed herein but also include, but are not limited to, changes in the economy and interest rates in the nation and River Valley's general market area. The forward-looking statements contained herein include those with respect to the following matters: 1. Management's determination as to the amount and adequacy of the loan loss allowance; 2. The effect of changes in interest rates on financial condition and results of operations; 3. The effects of proposed legislation that would eliminate the federal thrift charter and the separate federal regulation of thrifts; and 4. Management's opinion as to the effect of recent accounting pronouncements on River Valley's consolidated financial position and results of operations. Discussion of Changes in Financial Condition from December 31, 2000 to December 31, 2001 At December 31, 2001, River Valley's consolidated assets totaled $191.6 million, representing an increase of $29.5 million over the December 31, 2000 total. This increase in assets was funded in part by a $15.4 million increase in deposits and a $13.1 million increase in borrowings. Deposits increased to $145.6 million as of December 31, 2001 from $130.2 million while borrowings increased from $13.5 million as of December 31, 2000 to $26.5 million as of December 31, 2001. Shareholders' equity was $18.0 million as December 31, 2001, a net increase of $0.8 million from $17.2 million as of December 31, 2000. The modest increase in equity was attributed primarily to net income of $2.0 million offset by the repurchase of approximately $1.2 million or 64,293 shares of common stock. Liquid assets (i.e., cash, federal funds sold, interest-earning deposits and certificates of deposit) decreased by $0.7 million from December 31, 2000 levels to a total of $5.6 million at December 31, 2001. Investment securities totaled $17.7 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of $11.5 million over December 31, 2000. Mortgage-backed securities decreased by $1.1 million, to a total of $831,000 at December 31, 2001, primarily due to principal repayments and the sale of several issues. River Valley Bancorp MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Discussion of Changes in Financial Condition from December 31, 2000 to December 31, 2001 (continued) Loans receivable, including loans held for sale, totaled $158.0 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of $17.0 million, or 12.1%, over the $141.0 million total at December 31, 2000. The increase resulted primarily from loan originations during 2001 of $147.9 million, which were partially offset by principal repayments of $85.3 million and sales of $46.1 million. Loan origination volume for 2001 exceeded that of 2000 by $62.7 million, or 73.6%. There were significant increases in all types of lending with the exception of land and multi-family loans. The volume of loan sales into the secondary mortgage market increased during 2001 from 2000 volume by $43.5 million, due in large part to low interest rates. River Valley's consolidated allowance for loan losses totaled approximately $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, which represented 1.25% of total loans at that date. The allowance for loan losses totaled $1.7 million, or 1.21% of total loans for the period ended December 31, 2000. Nonperforming loans (defined as loans delinquent greater than 90 days and loans on nonaccrual status) totaled $0.7 million and $0.6 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The consolidated allowance for loan losses represented 286% and 274% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Although management believes that its allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2001 was adequate based upon the available facts and circumstances, there can be no assurance that additions to such allowance will not be necessary in future periods, which could negatively affect the Corporation's results of operations. Deposits increased by $15.3 million, or 11.8%, to a total of $145.6 million at December 31, 2001, compared to $130.2 million total at December 31, 2000. Savings and demand deposits increased by $9.6 million, or 18.2%, during 2001, while certificates of deposit increased by $5.7 million, or 7.4%. These fluctuations in balances were attributed to competitive rates, marketing and good community public relations. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowed money increased by $13.0 million from the total at December 31, 2000, as current period borrowings of $26.5 million were used in part to fund loan growth. Shareholders' equity totaled $18.0 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of $0.8 million from the $17.2 million total at December 31, 2000. The increase resulted primarily from net income of $2.0 million, which was partially offset by repurchases of shares totaling $1.2 million and cash dividends of $388,000. This net increase also includes a net increase of $296,000 related to stock benefit plans, proceeds of $68,000 from the exercise of stock options and unrealized gain on securities available for sale of $17,000. River Valley Bancorp MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 General River Valley's net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2001, totaled $1.98 million, an increase of $366,000, or 22.7%, from net earnings reported in 2000. The increase in net earnings in the 2001 period was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income of $986,000 and an increase of $869,000 in other income, while general, administrative and other expense were $942,000 higher in the current period. The provision for federal income taxes was $324,000 more in fiscal year 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The provision for loan losses in 2001 was $450,000 as compared to $227,000 in 2000. Net Interest Income Total interest income for the year ended December 31, 2001, amounted to $13.1 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 18.0%, from the 2000 total, reflecting the effects of higher average balances on interest earning assets. The average balance of interest-earning assets outstanding year-to-year increased by $25.2 million and the yield on those assets increased from an average yield of 7.68% in 2000 to 7.70% in 2001. Interest income on loans and mortgage-backed securities totaled $12.3 million for 2001, an increase of approximately $1.8 million, or 16.9%, from 2000. Interest income on investments, FHLB stock and interest-earning deposits increased by $183,000, or 32.6%, due to higher average balances on those investments. Interest expense on deposits increased by $524,000, or 10.2%, to a total of $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, due primarily to higher average balances. The cost of deposits decreased from 4.1% in 2000 to 3.9% in fiscal 2001. Interest expense on borrowings totaled $956,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $456,000 from 2000. The increase resulted primarily from higher average borrowings year-to-year, partially offset by a 17 basis point decrease in average cost. As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest expense, net interest income increased during 2001 by $986,000, or 18.0%, compared to 2000. The interest rate spread increased by 11 basis points for 2001, to 3.58% from 3.47% in the 2000 period, while the net interest margin amounted to 3.80% in 2001 and 3.79% in 2000. Provision for Losses on Loans A provision for losses on loans is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered appropriate by management based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by River Valley Financial, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to the primary market area, and other factors related to the collectibility of the loan portfolio. As a result of such analysis, management recorded a $450,000 provision for losses on loans in 2001, an increase of $223,000, or 98.2%, compared to the $227,000 provision recorded in 2000. The current period provision generally reflects growth in the loan portfolio, coupled with a change in the loan mix; less 1-4 family and more commercial/non-residential. River Valley Bancorp MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 (continued) Nonperforming loans for the period ended December 31, 2001 were $690,000, an increase of approximately $69,000 from the $621,000 recorded as of fiscal year ended 2000. Net charge-offs amounted to $180,000 in 2001, compared to $47,000 in 2000. While management believes that the allowance for losses on loans is adequate at December 31, 2001, based upon available facts and circumstances, there can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance will be adequate to cover losses on nonperforming assets in the future. Other Income Other income amounted to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $869,000, or 82.5%, compared to 2000, due primarily to increases in net gains on loan sales and service fees and charges. Net gains on loan sales increased from $44,000 in 2000 to $772,000 in 2001, an increase of $728,000. The volume of loan sales increased from $2.6 million in 2000 to $46.1 million in 2001. General, Administrative and Other Expense General, administrative and other expense totaled $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $942,000 over the 2000 total. Employee compensation and benefits increased by $266,000 in fiscal 2001 as compared to 2000 primarily from cost of living, benefit expense and increase in ESOP expenses. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $44,000 in fiscal 2001 as compared to 2000 due to higher depreciation costs. Other operating expenses increased by $632,000 primarily from increases in advertising, data processing, donations and mortgage servicing. The corporation also made a $100,000 donation to a local school system in exchange for federal tax credits in future years. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes increased by $324,000, or 34.7 %, for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to 2000. The effective tax rates were 38.8% and 36.7% for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 General River Valley's net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2000 totaled $1.61 million, an increase of $571,000 or 55.0%, from net earnings reported in 1999. The increase in net earnings in the 2000 period was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income of $364,000 and an increase of $209,000 in other income. General, administrative and other expense for the year was marginally lower. The provision for federal income taxes increased by $231,000 in fiscal year 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. The provision for loan losses in 2000 was $227,000 as compared to $140,000 in 1999. River Valley Bancorp MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 2000 and 1999 (continued) Net Interest Income Total interest income for the year ended December 31, 2000, amounted to $11.1 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 14.20%, from the 1999 total, reflecting the effects of higher average balances on average assets. While the average balance of interest-earning assets outstanding year-to-year increased by $14.7 million, and the yield on those assets increased from an average yield of 7.49% in 1999 to 7.68% in 2000. Interest income on loans and mortgage-backed securities totaled $10.6 million for 2000, an increase of approximately $1.5 million, or 16.8%, from 1999. Interest income on investments, FHLB stock and interest-earning deposits decreased by $132,000, or 19.0%, due to a decrease in the average balance outstanding. Interest expense on deposits increased by $663,000, or 14.8%, to a total of $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, due primarily to a 28 basis point increase in the weighted average cost of deposits. The cost of deposits rose from 3.82% in 1999 to 4.10% in fiscal 2000. Interest expense on borrowings totaled $500,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 an increase of $357,000 from 1999. The increase resulted primarily from higher average borrowings year-to-year, partially offset by a 75 basis point decrease in average cost. As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest expense, net interest income increased during 2000 by $364,000, or 7.1%, compared to 1999. The interest rate spread decreased by 16 basis points for 2000, to 3.47% from 3.63% in the 1999 period, while the net interest margin amounted to 3.79 % in 2000 and 3.94% in 1999. Provision for Losses on Loans A provision for losses on loans is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered appropriate by management based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by River Valley Financial, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to the primary market area, and other factors related to the collectibility of the loan portfolio. As a result of such analysis, management recorded a $227,000 provision for losses on loans in 2000, an increase of $87,000 or 62.1% compared to the $140,000 provision recorded in 1999. The current period provision generally reflects growth in the loan portfolio, coupled with a decrease in the level of nonperforming loans year-to-year. Nonperforming loans for the period ended December 31, 2000 were $621,000, a reduction of approximately $236,000 from the $857,000 recorded as of fiscal year ended 1999. Net charge-offs amounted to $47,000 in 2000, compared to $95,000 in 1999. While management believes that the allowance for losses on loans was adequate at December 31, 2000, based upon available facts and circumstances, there can be no assurance that the loan allowance will be adequate to cover losses on nonperforming assets in the future. River Valley Bancorp MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 (continued) Other Income Other income amounted to $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase of $209,000, or 24.8%, compared to 1999, due primarily to a $208,000 increase in service fees and charges. General, Administrative and Other Expense General, administrative and other expense totaled $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, a decrease of $316,000 over the 1999 total. Employee compensation and benefits decreased by $137,000 or 6.3% in fiscal 2000 as compared to 1999 primarily from the decrease in staffing levels. Included in the 1999 compensation expense was $150,000 in non-recurring expense associated with a severance agreement in a managerial restructuring completed in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $4,000 or 0.1% in fiscal 2000 primarily from charges associated with equipment upgrades. All other operating expenses decreased by $183,000 or 13.5% due to decreases in a variety of expense categories and were not attributable to any one item. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes increased by $231,000, or 32.9 %, for the year ended December 31, 2000, as compared to 1999. The effective tax rates were 36.7% and 40.3% for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. AVERAGE BALANCE, YIELD, RATE AND VOLUME DATA The following table presents certain information relating to River Valley's average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing annual income or expense by the average daily balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the years presented. Average balances are derived from daily balances, which include nonaccruing loans in the loan portfolio.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Rate/Volume Table The following table describes the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in volume of interest-related assets and liabilities have affected River Valley's interest income and expense during the years indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior year rate), (ii) changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year volume), and (iii) total changes in rate and volume. The combined effects of changes in both volume and rate, which cannot be separately identified, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate: Year ended December 31, 2001 vs. 2000 2000 vs. 1999 Increase Increase (decrease) (decrease) due to due to Volume Rate Total Volume Rate Total (In thousands) Interest-earning assets: Interest-earning deposits and other $ 64 $ (119) $ (55) $ (173) $ 74 $ (99) Investment securities 284 (46) 238 (106) 73 (33) Mortgage-backed and related securities (101) (18) (119) (132) 23 (109) Loans receivable, net 1,659 243 1,902 1,670 (45) 1,625 ------- ------ ------- ------- ------- ------- Total 1,906 60 1,966 1,259 125 1,384 ------- ------ ------- ------- ------- ------- Interest-bearing liabilities: Deposits 713 (189) 524 314 349 663 FHLB advances and other borrowings 472 (16) 456 375 (18) 357 ------- ------ ------- ------- ------- ------- Total 1,185 (205) 980 689 331 1,020 ------- ------ ------- ------- ------- ------- Net change in interest income $ 721 $ 265 $ 986 $ 570 $ (206) $ 364 ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= Asset and Liability Management Like other financial institutions, River Valley Financial is subject to interest rate risk to the extent that interest-earning assets re-price differently than interest-bearing liabilities. As part of its effort to monitor and manage interest rate risk, River Valley Financial is using the Net Portfolio Value "NPV") methodology adopted by the OTS as part of its capital regulations. Although River Valley Financial is not subject to the NPV regulation because such regulation does not apply to institutions with less than $300 million in assets and risk-based capital in excess of 12%, the application of the NPV methodology can illustrate River Valley Financial's degree of interest rate risk. Presented on the following table is an analysis of River Valley Financial's interest rate risk, as of December 31, 2001, (the latest information available) and December 31, 2000, as measured by changes in NPV for an instantaneous and sustained parallel shift of 100 through 300 basis points in market interest rates. River Valley Bancorp MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Asset and Liability Management (continued) Generally, NPV is more sensitive to rising rates than declining rates. Such difference in sensitivity occurs principally because, as rates rise, a bank's assets re-price slower than the deposits that fund them. As a result, in a rising interest rate environment, the amount of interest a bank would receive on loans would increase as loans are slowly prepaid and new loans at higher rates are made. Moreover, the interest the bank would pay on deposits would increase, but generally slower than the bank's ability to re-price its interest-earning assets. However, River Valley Financial Bank has addressed some of these issues, which has generally reduced its overall exposure to interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2001 (Dollars in thousands) Change in Interest Rates Estimated Amount (basis points) NPV of Change Percent +300 $ 22,166 $ (3,131) (12)% +200 23,416 (1,881) (7) +100 24,376 (921) (4) - ------- 25,297 -------- - -100 25,957 661 3 - -200 (1) ------ -------- ------ - -300 (1) ------ -------- ------ As of December 31, 2000 (Dollars in thousands) Change in Interest Rates Estimated Amount (basis points) NPV of Change Percent +300 $ 17,112 $ (1,285) (7)% +200 17,898 (499) (3) +100 18,309 (88) 0 - 18,397 ------- ------ - -100 18,296 (101) (1) - -200 19,025 628 3 - -300 20,294 1,897 10 (1) At December 31, 2001, the OTS did not provide information as to interest rate risk for 200 and 300 point decreases. River Valley Bancorp MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Asset and Liability Management (continued) As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the NPV approach. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of re-pricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayment on loans and mortgage-backed securities and early withdrawal levels from certificates of deposit would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in making the risk calculations. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Corporation's principal sources of funds are deposits, loan and mortgage-backed securities repayments, maturities of securities, borrowings and other funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and loan and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. The Corporation maintains investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (1) the need for funds, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) the yield available on short-term liquid assets and (4) the objectives of the asset/liability management program. The Financial Regulatory Relief and Economic Efficiency Act of 2000, which was signed into law on December 27, 2000, repealed the former statutory requirement that all savings associations maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets in a minimum amount of not less than 4% or more than 10% of their withdrawable accounts plus short-term borrowings. The OTS adopted an interim final rule in March 2001 that implemented this revised statutory requirement, although savings associations remain subject to the OTS regulation that requires them to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure their safe and sound operation. At December 31, 2001, River Valley Financial Bank had commitments to originate loans totaling $7.0 million and in addition, had undisbursed loans in process, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit totaling $10.3 million. At such date, River Valley Financial Bank had $2.6 million in commitments to sell loans and no outstanding commitment to purchase loans. The Corporation considers River Valley Financial Bank's liquidity and capital resources sufficient to meet outstanding short- and long-term needs. River Valley Bancorp MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued) The Corporation's liquidity, primarily represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a result of the funds provided by or used in the Corporation's operating, investing and financing activities. These activities are summarized below for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999: Year ended December 31, 2001 2000 1999 (In thousands) Cash flows from operating activities $ 756 $ 2,028 $ 5,346 Cash flows from investing activities: Purchase of securities (19,262) (7,949) (21,537) Proceeds from maturities of securities 5,204 8,297 19,399 Proceeds from sales of securities 3,689 2,002 ------- Net loan (originations) repayments (15,078) (26,165) (6,673) Other (3,079) (1,087) (121) Cash flows from financing activities: Net increase (decrease) in deposits 15,346 15,974 (3,900) Net increase (decrease) in borrowings 13,050 6,950 6,230 Purchase of stock (1,182) (1,367) (2,724) Other (185) (353) (275) --------- --------- --------- Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash Equivalents $ (741) $ (1,670) $ (4,255) ========= ========= ========= River Valley Financial is required by applicable law and regulation to meet certain minimum capital standards. Such capital standards include a tangible capital requirement, a core capital requirement, or leverage ratio, and a risk-based capital requirement. The tangible capital requirement requires savings associations to maintain "tangible capital" of not less than 1.5% of the association's adjusted total assets. Tangible capital is defined in OTS regulations as core capital minus intangible assets. "Core capital" is comprised of common shareholders' equity (including retained earnings), noncumulative preferred stock and related surplus, minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, certain nonwithdrawable accounts and pledged deposits of mutual associations. OTS regulations require savings associations to maintain core capital generally equal to 4% of the association's total assets except those associations with the highest examination rating and acceptable levels of risk. River Valley Bancorp MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued) OTS regulations require that savings associations maintain "risk-based capital" in an amount not less than 8% of "risk-weighted assets." Risk-based capital is defined as core capital plus certain additional items of capital, which in the case of River Valley Financial includes a general loan loss allowance of $2.0 million at December 31, 2001. River Valley Financial exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements at December 31, 2001. The following table summarizes River Valley Financial's regulatory capital requirements and regulatory capital at December 31, 2001: OTS Requirement Actual Amount Percent of Percent of Amount Assets Amount Assets(1) Amount of Excess (Dollars in thousands) Tangible capital 1.50% $ 2,863 9.6% $ 18,398 $ 15,535 Core capital (2) 4.00% 7,635 9.6% 18,398 10,763 Risk-based capital 8.00% 11,627 13.9% 20,162 8,535 (1) Tangible and core capital levels are shown as a percentage of total assets; risk-based capital levels are shown as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. (2) The OTS has proposed and is expected to adopt a core capital requirement for savings associations comparable to that adopted by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for national banks. The regulation requires core capital of at least 3% of total adjusted assets for savings associations that received the highest supervisory rating for safety and soundness, and 4% to 5% for all other savings associations. River Valley Financial is in compliance with this requirement. River Valley Bancorp MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting for a Business Combination. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, requires that all business combinations should be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting; use of the pooling method is prohibited. This statement requires that goodwill be initially recognized as an asset in the financial statement and measured as the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, SFAS No. 141 requires all other intangibles, such as core deposit intangibles for a financial institution, to be identified. The provisions of Statement No. 141 are effective for any business combination that is initiated after June 30, 2001. Accounting for Goodwill. Under the provisions of SFAS NO. 142, goodwill should not be amortized but should be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. Impairment test of goodwill should be done on an annual basis unless events or circumstances indicate impairment has occurred in the interim period. The annual impairment test can be performed at any time during the year as long as the measurement date is used consistently from year to year. Impairment testing is a two step process, as outlined within the statement. If the fair value of the goodwill is less than its carrying value, then the goodwill is deemed impaired and a loss recognized. Any impairment loss recognized as a result of completing the transitional impairment test should be treated as a change in accounting principle and recognized in the first interim period financial statements. The provisions of Statement No. 142 would be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Early adoption would be permitted for companies with a fiscal year beginning after March 15, 2001 provided that the first quarter financial statements have not been previously issued. In all cases, the statement must be adopted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a transaction completed after June 30, 2001 but before this Statement is initially applied would be accounted for in accordance with the amortization and nonamortization provisions of the statement. The useful economic life of previously recognized intangible assets should be reassessed upon adoption of the Statement, and remaining amortization periods should be adjusted accordingly. Intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life would no longer be amortized. The Company adopted these new accounting rules on January 1, 2002. As a result, the Company will not amortize the goodwill it has recorded prior to June 30, 2001, but will make an annual assessment of any impairment in goodwill and, if necessary, recognize an impairment loss at that time. The Company had goodwill of $31,000 at December 31, 2001, and amortization of $6,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. River Valley Bancorp MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require River Valley to measure financial position and results of operations in terms of historical dollars with the exception of investment and mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale, which are carried at fair value. Changes in the relative value of money due to inflation or recession are generally not considered. In management's opinion, changes in interest rates affect the financial condition of a financial institution to a far greater degree than changes in the rate of inflation. While interest rates are greatly influenced by changes in the rate of inflation, they do not change at the same rate or in the same magnitude as the rate of inflation. Rather, interest rate volatility is based on changes in the expected rate of inflation, as well as changes in monetary and fiscal policies. River Valley Bancorp Accountants' Report and Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001 and 2000 Independent Accountants' Report To the Stockholders and Board of Directors River Valley Bancorp Madison, Indiana We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of River Valley Bancorp as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.

Amounts) Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accounting and reporting policies of River Valley Bancorp (Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, River Valley Financial Bank (Bank), and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, Madison First Service Corporation (First Service), conform to generally accepted accounting principles and reporting practices followed by the thrift industry. The more significant of the policies are described below. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company is a thrift holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of the Bank. The Bank operates under a federal thrift charter and provides full banking services, in a single significant business segment. As a federally-chartered thrift, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank generates commercial, mortgage and consumer loans and receives deposits from customers located primarily in southeastern Indiana. The Bank's loans are generally secured by specific items of collateral including real property, consumer assets and business assets. Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and First Service after elimination of all material intercompany transactions. Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Investment Securities - Debt securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost. Debt securities not classified as held to maturity and marketable equity securities are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported separately in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded as interest income from securities. Realized gains and losses are recorded as net security gains (losses). Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined on the specific-identification method. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market. Market is determined using the aggregate method. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income based on the difference between estimated sales proceeds and aggregate cost. River Valley Bancorp Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except Per Share Amounts) Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding. A loan is impaired when, based on current information or events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Payments with insignificant delays not exceeding 90 days outstanding are not considered impaired. Certain nonaccrual and substantially delinquent loans may be considered to be impaired. The Company considers its investment in one-to-four family residential loans and consumer loans to be homogeneous and therefore excluded from separate identification for evaluation of impairment. Interest income is accrued on the principal balances of loans. The accrual of interest on impaired and nonaccural loans is discontinued when, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed when considered uncollectible. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received. Certain loan fees and direct costs are being deferred and amortized as an adjustment of yield on the loans over the contractual lives of the loans. When a loan is paid off or sold, any unamortized loan origination fee balance is credited to income. Allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb loan losses based on management's continuing review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and its judgment as to the impact of economic conditions on the portfolio. The evaluation by management includes consideration of past loss experience, changes in the composition of the portfolio, the current condition and amount of loans outstanding, and the probability of collecting all amounts due. Impaired loans are measured by the present value of expected future cash flows, or the fair value of the collateral of the loan, if collateral dependent. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. Management believes that as of December 31, 2001, the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on information currently available. A worsening or protracted economic decline in the areas within which the Bank operates would increase the likelihood of additional losses due to credit and market risks and could create the need for additional loss reserves. Premises and equipment are carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based principally on the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses on dispositions are included in current operations. Federal Home Loan Bank stock is a required investment for institutions that are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank system. The required investment in the common stock is based on a predetermined formula. Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. When foreclosed assets are acquired, any required adjustment is charged to the allowance for loan losses. All subsequent activity is included in current operations. River Valley Bancorp Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except Per Share Amounts) Goodwill, resulting from the acquisition of Citizens National Bank of Madison, is being amortized on the straight-line basis over a period of ten years. During 1998, goodwill was reduced by approximately $168,000 for the favorable resolution of certain preacquisition contingencies, and for the purchase of minority interest shares at a price below the assigned value at acquisition. It is periodically evaluated as to the recoverability of its carrying value. Mortgage servicing rights on originated loans are capitalized by allocating the total cost of the mortgage loans between the mortgage servicing rights and the loans based on their relative fair values. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing revenues. Stock options are granted for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The Company accounts for and will continue to account for stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and, accordingly, recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option grants. Income tax in the consolidated statements of income includes deferred income tax provisions or benefits for all significant temporary differences in recognizing income and expenses for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding during each year. Unearned ESOP shares have been excluded from the computation of average shares outstanding. Reclassifications of certain amounts in the 2000 and 1999 consolidated financial statements have been made to conform to the 2001 presentation. Note 2 - Restriction on Cash and Due From Banks The Bank is required to maintain reserve funds in cash and/or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The reserve required at December 31, 2001, was $1,031,000.

Proceeds from sales of securities available for sale during 2001 and 2000 were $3,689,000 and $2,002,000. Gross gains of $33,000 and $10,000 and gross losses of $16,000 and $12,000 were realized on those sales. There were no sales of securities available for sale during 1999. On April 1, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. As permitted by SFAS No. 133, all securities classified as held to maturity were transferred to available for sale. The adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

The weighted-average interest rate at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was 4.54% and 6.35%. The Federal Home Loan Bank advances are secured by first-mortgage loans totaling $54,440,000 at December 31, 2001. Advances are subject to restrictions or penalties in the event of prepayment. The Company has a $1,500,000 line of credit with another financial institution, which matures in February 2002 with a variable interest rate of .5% under prime. The line of credit is collateralized by a pledge of 1,000 shares of the Bank's stock.

The unpaid principal balances of loans serviced for others totaled $56,057,000, $37,562,000 and $40,212,000 at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The aggregate fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 totaled $430,000, $290,000 and $286,000. Comparable market values and a valuation model that calculates the present value of future cash flows were used to estimate fair value. For purposes of measuring impairment, risk characteristics including product type, investor type, and interest rates, were used to stratify the originated mortgage servicing rights. 2001 2000 1999 --------------------------------------------------------------- Mortgage Servicing Rights Balances, January 1 $ 227 $ 225 $ 222 Servicing rights capitalized 441 26 102 Amortization of servicing rights (128) (24) (99) ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- 540 227 225 Valuation allowance (110) -- -- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Balances, December 31 $ 430 $ 227 $ 225 ================ ================ ================ Activity in the valuation allowance for mortgage servicing rights was as follows: 2001 ---------------------- Balance, beginning of year $ -- Additions 110 Reductions -- Direct write downs -- ---------------- Balance, end of year $ 110 ================ River Valley Bancorp Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except Per Share Amounts) Note 9 - Income Tax 2001 2000 1999 --------------------------------------------------------------- Income tax expense (benefit) Currently payable Federal $ 1,000 $ 805 $ 505 State 254 205 159 Deferred Federal 2 (61) 38 State 1 (16) -- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Total income tax expense $ 1,257 $ 933 $ 702 ================ ================ ================ Reconciliation of federal statutory to actual tax expense Federal statutory income tax at 34% $ 1,099 $ 865 $ 592 Effect of state income taxes 168 125 105 Other (10) (57) 5 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Actual tax expense $ 1,257 $ 933 $ 702 ================ ================ ================ Effective tax rate 38.8% 36.7% 40.3% A cumulative net deferred tax asset is included in other assets.

This amount represents an allocation of income to bad debt deductions as of December 31, 1987 for tax purposes only. Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than tax bad debt losses or adjustments arising from carryback of net operating losses would create income for tax purposes only, which income would be subject to the then-current corporate income tax rate. The unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the above amount was approximately $714,000. Note 10 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities In the normal course of business there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which are not included in the accompanying financial statements. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making such commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the consolidated balance sheets. Financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk as of December 31 were as follows: 2001 2000 ------------------------------------- Commitments to extend credit $ 17,083 $ 14,070 Standby letters of credit 258 196 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. 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 credit worthiness 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. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. River Valley Bancorp Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except Per Share Amounts) Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The Company and Bank are also subject to claims and lawsuits, which arise, primarily in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company. Note 11 - Dividend and Capital Restrictions Without prior approval, current regulations allow the Bank to pay dividends to the Company not exceeding net profits (as defined) for the current year plus those for the previous two years. The Bank normally restricts dividends to a lesser amount because of the need to maintain an adequate capital structure. At December 31, 2001, the stockholder's equity of the Bank was $19,016,000, of which approximately $1,709,000 was available for the payment of dividends. Note 12 - Regulatory Capital The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies and is assigned to a capital category. The assigned capital category is largely determined by three ratios that are calculated according to the regulations: total risk adjusted capital, Tier 1 capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios. The ratios are intended to measure capital relative to assets and credit risk associated with those assets and off-balance sheet exposures of the entity. The capital category assigned to an entity can also be affected by qualitative judgments made by regulatory agencies about the risk inherent in the entity's activities that are not part of the calculated ratios. River Valley Bancorp Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except Per Share Amounts) There are five capital categories defined in the regulations, ranging from well capitalized to critically undercapitalized. Classification of a bank in any of the undercapitalized categories can result in actions by regulators that could have a material effect on a bank's operations. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Bank is categorized as well capitalized and met all subject capital adequacy requirements. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2001 that management believes have changed the Bank's classification. Required for Adequate To Be Well Actual Capital(1) Capitalized(1) Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 Total risk-based capital(1) (to risk-weighted assets) $ 20,162 13.9% $ 11,627 8.0% $ 14,534 10.0% Tier 1 capital(1)(to risk-weighted assets) 18,398 12.7% 5,814 4.0% 8,720 6.0% Core capital(1)(to adjusted total assets) 18,398 9.6% 7,635 4.0% 9,544 5.0% Core capital(1)(to adjusted tangible assets) 18,398 9.6% 3,818 2.0% -- N/A Tangible capital(1)(to adjusted total assets) 18,398 9.6% 2,863 1.5% -- N/A 2000 Total risk-based capital(1)(to risk-weighted assets) $ 18,031 15.5% $ 9,293 8.0% $ 11,617 10.0% Tier 1 capital(1)(to risk-weighted assets) 16,867 14.5% 4,647 4.0% 6,970 6.0% Core capital(1)(to adjusted total assets) 16,867 10.5% 6,458 4.0% 8,072 5.0% Core capital(1)(to adjusted tangible assets) 16,867 10.5% 3,229 2.0% -- N/A Tangible capital(1)(to adjusted total assets) 16,867 10.5% 2,422 1.5% -- N/A (1) As defined by regulatory agencies Note 13 - Employee Benefits The Bank provides pension benefits for substantially all of the Bank's employees and is a participant in a pension fund known as the Pentegra Group. This plan is a multi-employer plan; separate actuarial valuations are not made with respect to each participating employer. There was no pension expense or benefit for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. River Valley Bancorp Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except Per Share Amounts) The Bank has a retirement savings 401(k) plan in which substantially all employees may participate. The Bank matches employees' contributions at the rate of 50 percent for the first 6 percent of W-2 earnings contributed by participants. The Bank's expense for the plan was $35,000, $20,000 and $24,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. The Bank has a supplemental retirement plan, which provides retirement benefits to all directors. The Bank's obligations under the plan have been funded via the purchase of key man life insurance policies, of which the Bank is the beneficiary. Expense recognized under the supplemental retirement plan totaled approximately $42,000, $24,000 and $32,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. As part of the conversion in 1996, the Company established an ESOP covering substantially all employees of the Company and Bank. The ESOP acquired 95,220 shares of the Company common stock at $10 per share in the conversion with funds provided by a loan from the Company. Accordingly, the $952,000 of common stock acquired by the ESOP is shown as a reduction of stockholders' equity. Unearned ESOP shares totaled 38,023 and 48,695 at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and had a fair value of $787,000 and $779,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000. Shares are released to participants proportionately as the loan is repaid. Dividends on allocated shares are recorded as dividends and charged to retained earnings. Dividends on unallocated shares, which may be distributed to participants or used to repay the loan, are treated as compensation expense. Compensation expense is recorded equal to the fair market value of the stock when contributions, which are determined annually by the Board of Directors of the Company and Bank, are made to the ESOP. ESOP expense for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $196,000, $156,000 and $147,000. At December 31, 2001, the ESOP had 57,197 allocated shares, 38,023 suspense shares and no committed-to-be released shares. At December 31, 2000, the ESOP had 46,525 allocated shares, 48,695 suspense shares and no committed-to-be released shares. The Company also has a Recognition and Retention Plan (RRP), which provides for the award and issuance of up to 47,610 shares of the Company's stock to members of the Board of Directors and management. The RRP has purchased 32,920 shares of the Company's common stock in the open market. At December 31, 2001, 33,820 shares had been awarded. Common stock awarded under the RRP vests ratably over a five-year period, commencing with the date of the award. Expense recognized under the RRP plan totaled approximately $98,000, $105,000 and $113,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Note 14 - Related Party Transactions The Bank has entered into transactions with certain directors, executive officers, significant stockholders and their affiliates or associates (related parties). Such transactions were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other customers, and did not, in the opinion of management, involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features. River Valley Bancorp Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except Per Share Amounts) The aggregate amount of loans, as defined, to such related parties were as follows: Balances, January 1, 2001 $ 657 Change in composition 129 New loans, including renewals 885 Payments, etc., including renewals (527) ---------------- Balances, December 31, 2001 $ 1,144 ================ Deposits from related parties held by the Banks at December 31, 2001 and 2000 totaled $732,000 and $915,000. Note 15 - Stock Option Plan Under the Company's incentive stock option plan, which is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, the Company grants selected executives and other key employees stock option awards which vest at a rate of 20 percent a year. During 1997, the Company authorized the grant of options for up to 119,025 shares of the Company's common stock. The exercise price of each option, which has a ten-year life, was equal to the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant; therefore, no compensation expense was recognized. Although the Company has elected to follow APB No. 25, SFAS No. 123 requires pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under that Statement. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the grant date using an option-pricing model with the following assumptions: 2001 2000 1999 ---------------------------------------------------------- Risk-free interest rates 5.1% 6.5 and 5.9% 5.5% Dividend yields 2.8% 2.7% 2.2% Volatility factors of expected market price of common stock 7.8% 11.7% 10.0% Weighted-average expected life of the options 10 years 10 years 10 years River Valley Bancorp Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except Per Share Amounts) Under SFAS No. 123, compensation cost is recognized in the amount of the estimated fair value of the options and amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share of this statement are as follows: 2001 2000 1999 ----------------------------------------------------- Net income As reported $ 1,976 $ 1,610 $ 1,039 Pro forma 1,941 1,575 999 Basic earnings per share As reported 2.50 1.88 1.03 Pro forma 2.45 1.83 .99 Diluted earnings per share As reported 2.44 1.87 1.03 Pro forma 2.40 1.83 .99 The following is a summary of the status of the Company's stock option plan and changes in that plan as of and for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. 2001 2000 1999 Weighted- Weighted- Weighted- Average Average Average Options Shares Exercise Price Shares Exercise Price Shares Exercise Price ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding, beginning of year 99,345 $ 14.17 93,959 $ 14.58 103,959 $ 14.81 Granted 2,000 17.90 24,000 13.17 10,000 12.63 Exercised (4,670) 14.61 Forfeited/expired (10,592) 14.78 (18,614) 14.78 (20,000) 14.78 -------- -------- ------- Outstanding, end of year 86,083 $ 14.16 99,345 $ 14.17 93,959 $ 14.58 ======== ======== ======== Options exercisable at year end 53,287 51,725 39,787 Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year $ 3.08 $ 3.18 $ 2.79 As of December 31, 2001, options totaling 16,000 have exercise prices ranging from $10.75 to $12.63 and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 8.0 years, options totaling 68,083 have exercise prices ranging from $13.97 to $14.78 and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 6.0 years, options totaling 2,000 have an exercise price of $17.90 and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 9.5 years.

Note 17 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument: Cash and Cash Equivalents - The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates carrying value. Investment Securities - Fair values are based on quoted market prices. Loans Held for Sale - Fair values are based on quoted market prices. Loans - The fair value for loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Interest Receivable/Payable - The fair values of interest receivable/payable approximate carrying values. FHLB Stock - Fair value of FHLB stock is based on the price at which it may be resold to the FHLB. Deposits - The fair values of noninterest-bearing, interest-bearing demand and savings accounts are equal to the amount payable on demand at the balance sheet date. The carrying amounts for variable rate, fixed-term certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the balance sheet date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on such time deposits. River Valley Bancorp Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except Per Share Amounts) Federal Home Loan Bank Advances - The fair value of these borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation, based on current rates for similar debt. Line of Credit - The approximate market value for this variable borrowing approximates carrying value. Advance Payment by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance - The fair value approximates carrying value. Off-Balance Sheet Commitments - For fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loan commitments, the fair value estimate considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and committed rates. The difference between the fair value and notional amount of outstanding loan commitments at December 31, 2001 and 2000, was not material. The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows: 2001 2000 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value ---------------------------------------------------------------- Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,641 $ 5,641 $ 6,382 $ 6,382 Investment securities available for sale 17,653 17,653 7,247 7,247 Loans including loans held for sale, net 157,972 158,931 140,970 139,660 Interest receivable 1,475 1,475 1,468 1,468 Stock in FHLB 1,250 1,250 943 943 Liabilities Deposits 145,571 145,640 130,225 130,168 FHLB advances 25,000 25,284 13,000 13,034 Line of credit 1,500 1,500 450 450 Interest payable 613 613 598 598 Advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance 49 49 41 41 River Valley Bancorp Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except Per Share Amounts) Note 18 - Condensed Financial Information (Parent Company Only) Presented below is condensed financial information as to financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company: Condensed Balance Sheets 2001 2000 ----------------------------------------- Assets Cash and due from banks $ 400 $ 202 Investment in common stock of subsidiary 19,016 17,161 Other assets 182 271 ---------------- ---------------- Total assets $ 19,598 $ 17,634 ================ ================ Liabilities Borrowings $ 1,500 $ 450 Dividends payable 127 -- ---------------- ---------------- Total liabilities 1,627 450 Stockholders' Equity 17,971 17,184 ---------------- ---------------- Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $ 19,598 $ 17,634 ================ ================ Condensed Statements of Income 2001 2000 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------- Income Dividends from subsidiary $ 425 $ 1,621 $ 3,158 Other income 45 65 62 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Total income 470 1,686 3,220 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Expenses Interest expense 55 63 101 Other expenses 153 120 105 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Total expenses 208 183 206 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Income before income tax and equity in undistributed (distribution in excess of) income of subsidiary 262 1,503 3,014 Income tax benefit 65 47 58 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Income before equity in undistributed (distribution in excess of) income of subsidiary 327 1,550 3,072 Equity in undistributed (distribution in excess of) income of subsidiary 1,649 60 (2,033) ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Net Income $ 1,976 $ 1,610 $ 1,039 ================ ================ ================ River Valley Bancorp Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except Per Share Amounts) Condensed Statements of Cash Flows 2001 2000 1999 ----------------------------- Operating Activities Net income $ 1,976 $ 1,610 $ 1,039 Items not requiring (providing) cash (1,453) (4) 1,905 ------- ------- ------- Net cash provided by operating activities 523 1,606 2,944 ------- ------- ------- Financing Activities Purchase of stock (1,182) (1,367) (2,724) Proceeds from exercise of stock options 68 -- -- Acquisition of stock for stock benefit plans -- (8) -- Proceeds from borrowings 1,050 450 3,131 Repayment of borrowings -- (500) (2,901) Cash dividends (261) (350) (277) ------- ------- ------- Net cash used in financing activities (325) (1,775) (2,771) ------- ------- ------- Net Change in Cash and Cash Equivalents 198 (169) 173 Cash and Cash Equivalents at Beginning of Year 202 371 198 ------- ------- ------- Cash and Cash Equivalents at End of Year $ 400 $ 202 $ 371 ======= ======= ======= GENERAL INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS Transfer Agent and Registrar: Shareholder and General Inquiries: Corporate Trust Services River Valley Bancorp Fifth Third Center Attn: Matthew P.
