FIRST CAPITAL, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Corydon, Indiana--July 24, 2009. First Capital, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCAP - news), the
holding company for First Harrison Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income
of $398,000 or $0.14 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2009,
compared to $1.8 million or $0.63 per diluted share for the same period in 2008.

The decrease in earnings is primarily due to increases in the provision for loan
losses and in noninterest expense.

Net interest income after provision for loan losses decreased $1.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the six months ended June 30,
2008. Interest income decreased $1.5 million when comparing the two periods as
the average tax-equivalent yield of interest-earning assets decreased from 6.31%
during the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 5.64% for the same period in 2009.
This yield reduction was caused by a general decline in market interest rates as
well as the reversal of previously accrued interest of $77,000 on two commercial
credits with balances totaling $4.5 million. Interest expense decreased $1.5
million as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 3.14%
to 2.34% when comparing the same two periods. The provision for loan losses
increased from $738,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $2.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This increase was primarily to
allocate specific reserves on the previously mentioned two commercial credits as
well as to adjust for weakened general economic conditions such as depreciating
collateral values, job losses and continued pressures on household budgets in
the Bank's market area.

Noninterest income decreased $101,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as
compared to the same period in 2008. Service charges on deposit accounts
decreased $137,000 when comparing the two periods. This was partially offset by
an increase of $74,000 in gains on the sale of mortgage loans as the Bank
originated and sold $26.6 million of mortgage loans into the secondary market
during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to originations of $15.2
million during the same period in 2008.

Noninterest expenses increased $686,000 as compared to the six months ended June
30, 2008. Other operating expenses increased $499,000 when comparing the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008. The increase in other operating
expenses was primarily due to a $445,000 increase in FDIC deposit insurance
premiums. This included the special assessment imposed on all banks by the FDIC
effective June 30, 2009.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized a net loss of
$405,000 or $0.15 per diluted share compared to net income of $889,000 or $0.32
for the same period in 2008.

Net interest income after provision for loan loss decreased $1.6 million during
the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Interest
income decreased $795,000 when comparing the two periods, due to a decrease in
the average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets from 6.25% during
the quarter ended June 30, 2008 to 5.51% in the same period of 2009 primarily
due to the items previously mentioned. Interest expense decreased $645,000 as
the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 2.93% to 2.26%
when comparing the same two periods. The provision for loan losses increased
from $513,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 to $2.0 million for the same
period in 2008.

Noninterest income decreased $29,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as
compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a
$72,000 decrease in service charges on deposits partially offset by an increase
of $62,000 in the gain on the sale of mortgage loans.

Noninterest expenses increased $537,000 when comparing the three months ended
June 30, 2009 to the same period in 2008, primarily due to an increase in other
operating expenses of $403,000. FDIC deposit insurance premiums increased
$365,000 in the same quarter-to-quarter comparison.

Total assets as of June 30, 2009 were $449.3 million compared to $458.6 million
at December 31, 2008. The primary factors behind this decrease were decreases in
cash and cash equivalents and net loans receivable of $7.7 million and $5.6
million, respectively. Federal Home Loan Bank advances and deposits decreased
$4.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively during the same period. At June 30,
2009, the Bank was considered well-capitalized under applicable federal
regulatory capital guidelines.
