In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (comprised only of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in the full year. A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. The consolidated condensed balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. 7 NOTE B - - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY On February 23, 2004, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.16 per share. This dividend, totaling $504,000, was accrued for payment to shareholders of record on March 12, 2004, and was paid on April 2, 2004. Payment was made for 3,148,788 shares, compared to 3,148,200 the previous quarter. Stock options totaling 500 shares were exercised during the first quarter of 2004. NOTE C - - EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share were computed as follows: (In thousands, except share data) Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 2003 Weighted Weighted Average Per Share Average Per Share Income Shares Amount Income Shares Amount Basic Earnings (Loss) per Share: Income available to Common shareholders $471 3,148,552 $0.15 $755 3,147,784 $0.24 ======== ======== Effect of dilutive stock options -- 20,444 -- 200 -------------------- ------------------ Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share: Income available to common shareholders and assumed conversions $471 3,168,996 $0.15 $755 3,147,984 $0.24 ================================================================================================================================== At March 31, 2004, options to purchase 34,100 shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise price was greater than or equal to the average market price of common shares. 8 AMERIANA BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General - ------- This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q") may contain statements, which constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements appear in a number of places in this Form 10-Q and include statements regarding the intent, belief, outlook, estimate or expectations of the Company primarily with respect to future events and future financial performance. Readers of this Form 10-Q are cautioned that any such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future events or performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward looking statements as a result of various factors. The accompanying information contained in this Form 10-Q identifies important factors that could cause such differences. These factors include changes in interest rates; loss of deposits and loan demand to other financial institutions; substantial changes in financial markets; changes in real estate values and the real estate market or regulatory changes. The largest components of the Company's total revenue and total expenses are interest income and interest expense, respectively. Consequently, the Company's earnings are primarily dependent on its net interest income, which is determined by (i) the difference between rates of interest earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities ("interest rate spread"), and (ii) the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Levels of other income and operating expenses also significantly affect net income. Significant Events in 2003 - -------------------------- Sale of Cincinnati Branches: On April 7, 2003, the Company announced that it had agreed to sell its two Cincinnati-area branches to Peoples Community Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ/NM: PCBI)("PCBI") of West Chester, Ohio. The two branches are located in Deer Park and Landen, Ohio. On September 30, 2003, the Company announced the completion of the sale of the two branches to PCBI. In connection with the sale, the Company recorded an after-tax gain of approximately $2,930,000 or $0.93 per diluted share in the third quarter 2003. The transaction included the Company's real property related to the Deer Park branch and its leasehold on the premises for the Landen branch. Additionally, the Company conveyed most consumer and commercial loans at those branches as part of the transaction, as well as the branches' saving deposits, but retained and will continue to service certain single family residential mortgages originated in those locations. Company Writes Off Troubled Lease Portfolio in 2003: On September 30, 2003 the Company charged-off the two troubled equipment leases ("lease pools") originated by Commercial Money Center ("CMC"), a now bankrupt company. The Company recorded an after-tax loss of approximately $2,784,000 or $0.88 per diluted share. Prior to September 30, 2003, the Company had established reserves against these lease pools equal to approximately 58% of the $10,900,000 that remained outstanding. 9 Critical Accounting Policies - ---------------------------- The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The Company's significant accounting policies are described in detail in the Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The financial position and results of operations can be affected by these estimates and assumptions and are integral to the understanding of reported results. Critical accounting policies are those policies that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results, and they require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective or complex. Allowance for Credit Losses: The allowance for credit losses provides coverage for probable losses in the Company's loan portfolio. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses each quarter based on changes, if any, in underwriting activities, the loan portfolio composition (including product mix and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), trends in loan performance, regulatory guidance and economic factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires the use of significant management estimates. Many factors can affect management's estimates of specific and expected losses, including volatility of default probabilities, rating migrations, loss severity and economic and political conditions. The allowance is increased through provisions charged to operating earnings and reduced by net charge-offs. The Company determines the amount of the allowance based on relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. The allowance recorded for commercial loans is based on reviews of individual credit relationships and an analysis of the migration of commercial loans and actual loss experience. The allowance recorded for homogeneous loans is based on an analysis of loan mix, risk characteristics of the portfolio, fraud loss and bankruptcy experiences and historical losses, adjusted for current trends, for each homogeneous category or group of loans. The allowance for loan losses relating to impaired loans is based on the loan's observable market price, the collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans, or the discounted cash flows using the loan's effective interest rate. Regardless of the extent of the Company's analysis of customer performance, portfolio trends or risk management processes, certain inherent but undetected losses are probable within the loan portfolio. This is due to several factors, including inherent delays in obtaining information regarding a customer's financial condition or changes in their unique business conditions, the judgmental nature of individual loan evaluations, collateral assessments and the interpretation of economic trends. Volatility of economic or customer-specific conditions affecting the identification and estimation of losses for larger, non-homogeneous credits and the sensitivity of assumptions utilized to establish allowances for homogenous groups of loans are among other factors. The Company estimates a range of inherent losses related to the existence of these exposures. The estimates are based upon the Company's evaluation of imprecision risk associated with the commercial and consumer allowance levels and the estimated impact of the current economic environment. Mortgage Servicing Rights: Mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") associated with loans originated and sold, where servicing is retained, are capitalized and included in other intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The value of the capitalized servicing rights represents the present value of the future servicing fees arising from the right to service loans in the portfolio. Critical accounting policies for MSRs relate to the initial valuation and subsequent impairment tests. The methodology used to determine the valuation of MSRs requires the development and use of a number of estimates, including anticipated principal amortization and prepayments of that principal balance. Events that may significantly affect the estimates used are changes in interest rates, mortgage loan prepayment speeds and the payment performance of the underlying loans. The carrying value of the MSRs is periodically reviewed for impairment based on a determination of fair value. Impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance and is recorded as amortization of intangible assets. 10 Goodwill and Other Intangibles: The Company records all assets and liabilities acquired in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill and other intangibles, at fair value as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141. Goodwill is subject, at a minimum, to annual tests for impairment. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using straight-line and accelerated methods, and are subject to impairment if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount. The initial goodwill and other intangibles recorded, and subsequent impairment analysis, requires management to make subjective judgments concerning estimates of how the acquired asset will perform in the future. Events and factors that may significantly affect the estimates include, among others, customer attrition, changes in revenue growth trends, specific industry conditions and changes in competition. The Cincinnati branches sold had approximately $890,000 recorded as goodwill and core deposit intangibles. The $890,000 was written-off and netted against the gain on the sale of the branches in the third quarter of 2003. FINANCIAL CONDITION - ------------------- The Company's total assets increased $24,863,000 or 6.18% from $402,453,000 at December 31, 2003 to $427,316,000 at March 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to a planned strategy to leverage the institutions assets to improve earnings and return on equity. This was accomplished primarily through new FHLB advances of $20,310,000 in the first quarter of 2004. The Company's principal sources of funds are cash generated from operations, deposits, loan principal repayments, investments, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"). Cash and cash equivalents increased $33,054,000 from $14,549,000 at December 31, 2003 to $47,603,000 at March 31, 2004. The increase was mainly due to $16,000,000 of securities called in the first quarter of 2004 and a decrease in the loan portfolio. The funds were kept in overnight accounts over quarter-end due to concerns that interest rates were temporarily depressed. The excess liquidity was re-invested in April 2004. Investment securities increased $1,668,000 or 1.2% from $137,788,000 at December 31, 2003 to $139,456,000 at March 31, 2004. The Company acquired $22,384,000 in municipal securities since the fourth quarter of 2003. The municipal securities acquired in 2003 were transferred from "available for sale" to "held to maturity" effective January 1, 2004. Accordingly, investment securities have been separated on the balance sheet between available for sale and held to maturity. Investments classified as available for sale are adjusted to market value each month-end with the resulting after-tax unrealized gains or loss included in "accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" included in equity. Investments classified as held to maturity are not adjusted to market value each month. The loan portfolio declined $9,305,000 or 4.5% from $207,885,000 at December 31, 2003 to $198,580,000 at March 31, 2004. Most of the decline was in residential mortgage loans. The Company continued to sell new fixed rate mortgage production to minimize potential long-term interest rate risk associated with such long-term, low-interest loans. The deposit portfolio increased $3,897,000 or 1.1% from $345,744,000 at December 31, 2003 to $349,641,000 at March 31, 2004. Borrowings increased $19,835,000 from $10,230,000 at December 31, 2003 to $30,065,000 at March 31, 2004. The Company borrowed $15,000,000 in ten year putable FHLB advances for an average cost of 3.67%. These advances may re-price to the three-month Libor rate should this index reach 8.00% during any quarterly period after two-years. The three-month Libor was 1.17% at April 22, 2004. The Company had a total of $20,000,000 in putable FHLB advances at March 31, 2004. The remaining $5,310,000 was for seven separate fixed-rate advances with terms ranging from 30 days to six years with a weighted-average rate of 2.37% as of quarter-end. These seven advances are matched against a 7/1 FNMA mortgage-backed security with an expected yield to maturity of 3.88%. Equity increased $556,000 or 1.4% from $38,874,000 at December 31, 2003 to $39,430,000 at March 31, 2004. The increase was due to accumulated comprehensive income. The Bank's capital ratios are well in excess of minimum regulatory requirements. At March 31, 2004, the Bank had a risk-based capital ratio of 15.51% and a tier 1 capital ratio of 9.14%. 11 The Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans of approximately $9,094,000 and $2,845,000 at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, which were primarily for adjustable-rate mortgages with rates that are determined just prior to closing or fixed-rate mortgage loans with rates locked in at the time of loan commitment. In addition, the Company had $22,666,000 and $21,409,000 of conditional commitments for lines of credit receivables at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. The Company also had $4,604,000 and $3,604,000 of letters of credit outstanding as of March 31 2004 and December 31, 2003. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- The Company's net income for the first quarter of 2004 was $471,000 or $0.15 per diluted share compared to $755,000, or $0.24 per diluted share reported in the first quarter of 2003. The lower earnings were primarily due to lower gains on sale of loans and servicing rights, higher salaries and benefits, which were partially offset by higher brokerage and insurance commissions. The Company derives the majority of its income from net interest income. Net interest income decreased 5.3% or $167,000 in the first quarter of 2004 compared to the first quarter of 2003. Part of the decrease was due to non-taxable interest income from the purchase of municipal securities, which accounts for approximately $56,000 of the decrease using a federal income tax rate of 34%. Interest income and net interest income were adjusted for the tax-equivalent benefit of the non-taxable municipal securities in the following analysis. The following table summarizes the Company's average net interest-earning assets (which include non-accrual loans) and average interest-bearing liabilities with the accompanying average rates for the first three months of 2004 and 2003: (Dollars in Thousands) Three Months Ended March 31, ---------------------------------- 2004 2003 Average interest-earning assets $ 369,009 $430,246 Average interest-bearing liabilities $ 347,046 $396,633 ---------------------------------- Net interest-earning assets $21,963 $ 33,613 ================================== Average yield on/cost of: Interest-earning assets 5.18% 5.83% Interest-bearing liabilities 2.02% 3.13% ---------------------------------- Net interest spread 3.16% 2.70% ================================== The net interest spread, which is the mathematical difference between the yield on average interest-earning assets and cost of interest-bearing liabilities, increased 46 basis points to 3.16% for the first quarter of 2004 compared to 2.70% in the first quarter of 2003. The change in net interest is due to a decrease in yield of 65 basis points on average interest-earning assets offset by a 111 basis point reduction in the cost of interest-bearing average liabilities. The change in interest rate spreads resulted in a decrease of interest income offset by lower interest expense. The $1,427,000 decrease in interest income on average interest-earning assets in the first quarter of 2004 was a combination of a decrease of $1,596,000 because of lower average balances and an increase of $169,000 due to higher average rates. The decrease of $1,316,000 in cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the first quarter of 2004 was a combination of a decrease of $249,000 from lower average balances and $1,067,000 from lower average rates. The lower average rates were the result of high cost certificates that repriced at maturity to a lower rate, and an overall shift from certificates to short-term money market, Super Now accounts, and lower borrowing cost. The net interest margin on interest-earning assets, which is net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets, increased 35 basis points to 3.30% in the first quarter of 2004 from 2.95% in the first quarter of 2003. Average earning assets declined $61,237,000 to $369,009,000 in the first quarter of 2004 compared to $430,246,000 in the first quarter of 2003. The decline was due to the 12 write-off of troubled leases and the sale of the Ohio branches, both of which took place in the third quarter of 2003. The decline in average earning assets more than offset the improvements in the net interest spread and net interest margin, which resulted in lower net interest income for the period. Net interest earning assets declined $11,650,000 to $21,963,000 in the first quarter of 2004 from $33,613,000 in the first quarter of 2003. The decline was mainly due to the troubled leases that were written-off in the third quarter of 2003. The following table sets forth the impact of rate and volume changes on net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. (Dollars in Thousands) Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 vs 2003 Increase (Decrease) Due to Change in Volume Rate Net Change ------------ ------------ -------------- Interest-earning assets $ (1,596) $ 169 $ (1,427) Interest-bearing liabilities (249) (1,067) (1,316) ------------ ------------ -------------- Change in net interest income $ (1,347) $ 1,236 $ (111) ============ ============ ============== The following table summarizes the Company's non-performing assets at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003: (Dollars in Thousands) March 31, December 31, 2004 2003 Loans: Non-accrual $ 7,649 $ 8,383 Restructured Loans 469 473 Over 90 days delinquent and still accruing 4,594 74 Real estate owned 559 602 ------------------ ------------------ Total $ 13,271 $ 9,532 ================== ================== The Company's non-performing assets increased $3,739,000 in the first quarter of 2004. The increase was in the "over 90 days delinquent and still accruing" category. The increase was mostly due to a commercial real estate loan to a single borrower, which was brought current in May 2004. Non-accrual loans, which declined $734,000, are mostly made up of commercial and commercial real-estate loans with the majority related to loans to a builder/developer. The Bank has a number of real estate development/lot loans and single family residential loans on existing properties with a builder/developer group, and its related parties, that are currently in default and bankruptcy. The Bank is working closely with the workout specialist hired by the bankruptcy trustee on liquidation of the properties involved in the bankruptcy and is negotiating with the borrower and its counsel for resolution of the remaining properties. The total outstanding balance of these loans totaled $3.1 million and $3.5 million as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. The Bank is involved in a variety of litigation relating to its interests in the two pools of equipment leases originated by the Commercial Money Center, Inc. ("CMC"), a California based equipment-leasing company that is now in bankruptcy. In June and September 2001, the Bank purchased two separate pools of lease receivables totaling $12,003,000, consisting primarily of equipment leases. Each lease within each pool was supported by a surety bond issued by one of two insurance companies rated at least "A" by Moody's. The bonds guarantee payment of all amounts due under the leases in the event of default by the lessee. Each pool was sold by the terms of a Sales and Servicing Agreement which provides that the insurers will service the leases. In each 13 case the insurers have assigned their servicing rights and responsibilities to Commercial Service Center, a company, which has now filed bankruptcy. When the lease pools went into default, notice was given to each insurer. One of them made payments for a few months under a reservation of rights; the other paid nothing. Both insurers claim they were defrauded by Commercial Money Center (CMC), the company which sold the lease pools. Both are now denying responsibility for payment. CMC has also filed for bankruptcy protection. Many other financial institutions have purchased lease pools from CMC. All of the lease pools are in default and in litigation. The Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has taken control of the many actions and assigned them to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. The actions have been consolidated for the purpose of discovery and other potential proceedings. The Company believes the surety bonds are enforceable against the insurers. The current unpaid balance for the pools is $10,900,000. It is unlikely that the litigation will be resolved in 2004. The lease pools had reserves of approximately 50% at December 31, 2002. Due to the downgrade of one of the sureties to "D" by A.M. Best, the inherent uncertainty surrounding the potential for recovery, the Company charged-off the two lease pools during the third quarter of 2003. The Company believes that the charge-off of these lease pools is consistent with the conservative posture that banking industry regulators will likely assume in this matter. Net charge-offs (charge-offs less recoveries) were $668,000 and $185,000 for the first three months of 2004 and 2003 respectively. The main reason for the net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2004 was from a charge-off of a commercial real-estate loan for $509,000. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate and that sufficient provision has been made to absorb losses that may ultimately be incurred on non-performing loans and the remainder of the portfolio based on information at March 31, 2004. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.62% and 1.80% at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Provision expense was $150,000 for both the first quarter of 2004 and first quarter of 2003. The Company's non-interest income was $978,000 in the first quarter of 2004 and $1,245,000 in the first quarter of 2003, for an overall decrease of $267,000 or 21.4%. The main cause of the decrease was due to gain on sale of loans and servicing rights which declined $405,000 to $78,000 in the first quarter of 2004 from $483,000 in the first quarter of 2003. The decline was due to a drop in the volume of mortgage loan refinancing which resulted in less loans sold. Brokerage and insurance commissions increased $90,000 or 36% to $340,000 in the first quarter of 2004 from $250,000 in the first quarter of 2003. The increase included $30,000 from brokerage operations and $55,000 from the insurance agency. Net loan servicing fees improved $83,000 for the first quarter of 2004 compared to the first quarter of 2003. The increase was due to a decline in mortgage loan refinancing in the first quarter of 2004 compared to the first quarter of 2003, which resulted in less write-offs of the remaining mortgage loan servicing rights. Net realized gain on sale of securities was zero in the first quarter of 2004 compared to $40,000 in the first quarter of 2003. Non-interest expense was $3,351,000 in the first quarter of 2004 and $3,270,000 in the first quarter of 2003, for an overall increase of $81,000 or 2.5%. The largest component of non-interest expense is salaries and employee benefits, which made-up 64.2% of total non-interest expenses in the first quarter of 2004. Salaries and employee benefits increased $144,000 or 7.2% to $2,150,000 in the first quarter of 2004, compared to $2,006,000 in the first quarter of 2003. Income taxes was a net benefit of $33,000 in the first quarter of 2004 compared to a $198,000 expense in the first quarter of 2003 for an overall decrease of $231,000. The decline in tax expense is due to higher nontaxable interest income from municipal securities, higher investment income from AIMI, which is exempt from state income tax, and overall lower taxable income. The effective tax rates and the statutory tax rates differ primarily to tax credits, cash value of life insurance, nontaxable interest income, and a reduction in state tax expense. 14 OTHER - ----- The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") maintains reports, proxy information, statements and other information regarding registrants that file electronically with the SEC, including the Company.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK The Asset/Liability Committee and the Board of Directors reviews the Company's exposure to interest rate changes and market risk on a quarterly basis. This review is accomplished by the use of a cash flow simulation model using detailed securities, loan and deposit, and market information to estimate the potential impact of interest rate increases and decreases on the earning assets and liabilities. The model tests the impact on the net interest income under various interest rate scenarios by estimating the interest rate sensitivity position at each interest rate interval. The change in the net portfolio value ("NPV") is also calculated at each interest rate interval. This tests the interest rate risk exposure from movements in interest rates by using interest sensitivity analysis to determine the change in the NPV of discounted cash flows from assets and liabilities. NPV represents the market value of portfolio equity and is equal to the estimated market value of assets minus the estimated market value of liabilities. The model uses a number of assumptions, including the relative levels of market interest rates and prepayments in mortgage loans and certain types of callable investments. These computations do not contemplate any actions management may undertake to reposition the assets and liabilities in response to changes in the interest rate, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. In addition, certain shortcomings are inherent in the model of computing NPV. Should interest rates remain or decrease below present levels, the portion of adjustable rate loans could decrease in future periods due to loan refinancing or payoff activity. In the event of an interest rate change, pre-payment levels would likely be different from those assumed in the model and the ability of borrowers to repay their adjustable rate loans may decrease during rising interest rate environments. Presented below is the assessment of the risk of NPV in the event of sudden and sustained 200 and 100 basis point increases and decreases respectively, in prevailing interest rates as of March 31, 2004.

Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. It should be noted that the design of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon certain reasonable assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no reasonable assurance that any design of disclosure controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote, but the Company's principal executive and financial officers have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at a reasonable assurance level. In addition, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (to the extent that elements of internal control over financial reporting are subsumed within disclosure controls and procedures) identified in connection with the evaluation described in the above paragraph that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 16 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1 - Legal Proceedings ----------------- Not Applicable ITEM 2 - Changes in Securities,Use of Proceeds and Issuers Purchase of Equity -------------------------------------------------------------------- Securities ---------- Not Applicable ITEM 3 - Defaults in Senior Securities ----------------------------- Not Applicable ITEM 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders --------------------------------------------------- Not Applicable ITEM 5 - Other Information ----------------- Not Applicable ITEM 6 - Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K -------------------------------- a.
