LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS To Our Stockholders: Permanent Bancorp, Inc. completed its fourth year as a public company on March 31, 1998 and earned $2.64 million for the year. This amount represents a 103% increase from 1997 net income of $1.30 million. Included in 1997's earnings is a $1.77 million (pretax) industry-wide assessment by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Earnings for the year ended March 31, 1998 compared to prior year earnings before the SAIF assessment increased by 11.4%. Basic earnings per share were $0.65 in fiscal 1998 compared to $0.31 in the prior year and diluted earnings per share increased to $0.62 from $0.30 in the prior year. The market price of the Company's stock reached record highs in March 1998 and the Board of Directors authorized a stock split, effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend, which was completed in April. The Company has recently adopted a dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan. This enables stockholders the convenience of purchasing additional stock without incurring any brokerage commissions or administrative fees. The Board of Directors of the Company has elected a new director to its board. In March 1998 Mr. Daniel L. Schenk, President of IVY Tech State College, Evansville Region, joined the Board. Mr. Schenk was also elected a director of the subsidiary Bank. At the subsidiary level the Bank continues to increase its net interest income and non-interest income while reducing classified assets. These trends, coupled with a robust economy in the Evansville area, bodes well for the future. In addition, in April 1998 the Company announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire four branch locations from NBD Bank. This acquisition will significantly increase the Company's presence in the Evansville area and afford it marketing and other operating efficiencies. This acquisition will add approximately $85 million to the Company's deposit base and we look forward to having the NBD personnel join the Permanent family. More recently Mr. Robert A. Cern has joined the management team as our Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary. Mr. Cern comes to us with many years experience in financial and accounting management. The banking environment is changing rapidly and the recent wave of mega-mergers and technological advances will continue to reshape the financial services industry. Permanent continues to explore growth opportunities and profit improvement strategies. In the near future, the Company will offer a telephone based bill paying service and personal computer based home banking service. We appreciate the continued support of our customers and shareholders and look forward to another year of earnings improvement. /s/Donald P. Weinzapfel ----------------------- Donald P.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General At March 31, 1998, Permanent Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") successfully completed its fourth year as a publicly owned entity. All references to the Company before March 31, 1994 refer to the operations of the Company's subsidiary, Permanent Federal Savings Bank ("Permanent Federal" or the "Bank"). The principal business of the Company consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using these deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, primarily to originate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans as well as multi-family and commercial real estate, automobile and other consumer loans. The Company also originates construction and commercial business loans and invests in mortgage-backed and other investment securities. The Company's results of operations are primarily dependent on its interest rate spread, which is the difference ("spread") between the average yield on interest-earning assets, such as loans, mortgage-backed and investment securities and short-term interest bearing deposits and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The interest rate spread is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows. In addition to credit risk, the Company is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-earning assets mature or reprice at different times, or on a different basis, than its interest-bearing liabilities. The Company's results of operations also depend upon, among other things, the level of fee income, gains or losses on the sale of loans and other assets, provisions for possible loan losses, income derived from subsidiary activities, operating expenses and income taxes. The Company's operating expenses principally consist of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums and other general and administrative expenses. Permanent Federal is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, including federal monetary and fiscal policies, as well as by federal regulation of financial institutions. Deposit balances are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing personal investments and the level of personal income and savings within the institution's market area. In addition, deposit balances are influenced by the perceptions of customers regarding the stability of the financial markets and financial services industry. Management expects to retain a significant portion of existing deposit balances by offering competitive rates on such deposits. Permanent Federal has adopted a strategy of employing Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (FHLB) advances to supplement deposits. FHLB advances are expected to augment the liquidity necessary to fund lending operations and investment opportunities. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for housing, consumer and commercial loans as well as competition from other lending institutions. The primary sources of funds for lending activities include deposits, loan payments, borrowings, the sale of loans and other assets and funds provided from operations. Forward-looking Statements Certain statements in this report that relate to Permanent Bancorp's plans, objectives or future performance may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on Management's current expectations. Actual strategies and results in future periods may differ materially from those currently expected because of various risks and uncertainties. Additional discussion of factors affecting Permanent Bancorp's business and prospects is contained in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Information Systems and the Year 2000 As is the case with most other companies using computers in their operations, the Company is in the process of addressing the Year 2000 problem. The Company is currently engaged in a comprehensive project to ascertain that the 6 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS computer programs it utilizes, both internally generated and those provided by outside sources, will consistently and properly recognize the Year 2000. Many of the Company's significant systems used to generate both internal reports and external documents (such as account statement and year-end tax reports) are generated by an outside provider of data processing services which has represented these systems will be Year 2000 compliant. The Company has initiated contingency processing plans should this supplier not become Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner. The Company is in the process of obtaining assurances from vendors that timely updates will be made available to make all remaining purchased software Year 2000 compliant. The Company will utilize both internal and external resources to reprogram or replace and test all of its software for Year 2000 compliance and the Company expects to complete the project in early calendar year 1999. The estimated cost for this project is being funded through operating cash flows. No assurance can be given by the Company that either it or its vendors will be Year 2000 compliant and failure by the Company and/or significant vendors to complete Year 2000 compliance work in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on certain of the Company's operations. FINANCIAL CONDITION March 31, 1998 Compared to March 31, 1997 The Company's total assets at March 31, 1998 were $439.1 million, an increase of $15.4 million, or 3.6% from $423.7 million at March 31, 1997. Investment and mortgage-backed securities amounted to $187.1 million at March 31, 1998, an increase of $694,000 from $186.4 million at March 31, 1997. Net loans increased by $15.2 million or 7.2% to $225.3 million at March 31, 1998 compared to $210.2 million at March 31, 1997. Total liabilities were $396.4 million at March 31, 1998, up $11.8 million, or 3.1% from $384.6 million at March 31, 1997. Deposits of $282.9 million were up $2.1 million or 0.8% from $280.8 million at March 31, 1997. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances increased by $869,000 to $99.4 million at March 31, 1998 from $98.5 million at March 31, 1997. Total stockholders' equity increased by $3.6 million to $42.7 million at March 31, 1998. The Company earned $2.64 million and paid $809,000 of dividends to its shareholders. The Company purchased $994,000 of treasury shares and received $183,000 from the issuance of its stock.

Commercial and multi-family real estate loans increased by $611,000, land and construction loans increased by $1.6 million and commercial paper increased by $8.1 million. The allowance for loan losses decreased by $153,000 as non-performing loans decreased by $3.7 million from March 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997. General. The Company's net income of $2.64 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998 was $1.34 million greater than the $1.30 million earned during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. The results of operations for the year ended March 31, 1997 include a $1.77 million (pretax) payment of a special assessment to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The after tax impact 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS of this assessment on earnings was $1.07 million. Net income for the year ended March 31, 1998 compared to prior year earnings before the special assessment increased $275,000 or 11.4%. Net Interest Income. The Company's net interest income increased by $214,000 to $11.2 million for the year ended March 31, 1998 compared to $11.0 million for the year ended March 31, 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average interest earning assets and an improvement in the interest rate spread of 0.01%. Interest Income. Interest income for the year ended March 31, 1998 increased $833,000 to $30.5 million compared to $29.7 million for the same period in 1997. With the exception of investment securities, interest income was higher for all major earning asset categories including increased interest income on loans of $713,000 (a 4.2% increase) and mortgage-backed securities of $269,000 (a 4.4% increase). Due to decreased holdings of interest bearing securities, investment security income decreased $199,000 or 3.2% from the prior year. Due to increased holdings and an improved yield, dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank stock were up by $49,000. Interest income on loans increased as a result of growth in average loans outstanding of $ 5.6 million for the year ended March 31, 1998. The weighted average yield on loans was 8.14% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998 compared to 8.02% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities also increased primarily as a result of higher outstanding balances. Mortgage-backed securities balances averaged $97.7 million during fiscal 1998 compared to $91.4 million during fiscal 1997. Interest bearing securities and FHLB stock averaged $93.2 million during fiscal 1998, compared to $95.2 million during fiscal 1997. The weighted average yields on mortgage-backed securities and interest bearing securities and FHLB stock were 6.52% and 7.01%, respectively during fiscal 1998, compared to 6.67% and 7.02%, respectively, during fiscal 1997. During 1998, the Company made investments of $500,000 in a limited partnership that invests in the stock of other financial institutions. The fair value of this investment was $614,000 at March 31, 1998. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $619,000 to $19.3 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998 compared to $18.7 million during fiscal 1997. Interest paid on deposits increased by $99,000 due to an increase of $2.8 million in average deposit balance which more than offset a decrease in the rate paid from 4.84% to 4.83%. Interest on Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased by $545,000 as average balances outstanding increased by $9.1 million and the average rate paid on advances also increased from 5.74% during fiscal 1997 to 5.77% during fiscal year 1998. Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank establishes its provision for loan losses and evaluates the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of its loan activity. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other matters, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, the composition of its loan portfolio and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance. This methodology is performed on a periodic basis, generally monthly, and is designed to ensure that matters affecting loan collectibility will be identified in a timely manner and evaluated by management in determining the necessary reserves and the provision for loan losses. The amounts actually reported in each period will vary with the outcome of this detailed review. During the year ended March 31, 1998, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $177,050 compared to $113,256 for the year ended March 31, 1997. Net charge offs amounted to $330,000 during fiscal 1998 compared to $225,000 during fiscal 1997. Asset quality, as measured by non-performing loans to total loans, improved significantly for the year ended March 31, 1998 compared to the prior year. The ratios of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.40% at March 31, 1998 and 2.16% at March 31, 1997 respectively. The allowance for losses, as a ratio to total loans, was 0.87% at March 31, 1998 compared to 1.00% at March 31, 1997. At March 31, 1998 and 1997, the 8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 216.58% and 46.31%, respectively. It is management's belief that the allowance for loan losses reflects an adequate reserve against potential losses in the loan portfolio. Future additions to the Company's allowance for loan losses and any change in the related ratio to nonperforming loans are dependent upon the performance of the Company's loan portfolio, the economy, inflation, changes in real estate and other collateral values and interest rates as well as the view of regulatory authorities toward adequate reserve levels. See also "Asset Quality." Other Income. Other income increased by $468,000 to $2,092,000 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998. This represents an increase of 28.8% over the prior year. Service charges increased by $144,000 and profit on sale of loans, securities and real estate owned increased by $193,000. Commissions on the sale of investment and insurance products increased by $68,000. Earnings from other sources were up by $63,000 during fiscal 1998. Other Expense. The Company's other expense decreased by $1.54 million from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998. The decrease is primarily attributable to the aforementioned $1.77 million SAIF assessment. Salaries and employee benefits increased $224,000 or 5.2%. The majority of this increase is attributable to increased expense associated with the Company's ESOP and restricted stock awards programs. Income Tax Provision. The Company's income tax provision increased by $814,000 from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998 primarily as a result of increased pretax earnings. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996. General. The Company's net income of $1.30 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 was slightly improved from the $1.25 million earned during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996. The earnings improvement occurred despite the payment of a special assessment in the amount of $1.77 million to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The after tax impact of this assessment on earnings was $1.07 million. Net Interest Income. The Company's net interest income increased by $1.5 million to $11.0 million for the year ended March 31, 1997 compared to $9.5 million for the year ended March 31, 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in interest earning assets and an improvement in the interest rate spread. Interest Income. Interest income for the year ended March 31, 1997 increased $3.8 million to $29.7 million compared to $25.9 million for the same period in 1996. Interest income was higher for all major earning asset categories including increased interest income on loans of $458,000, mortgage-backed securities of $341,000, and investment securities of $2,851,000. Due to increased holdings, dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank stock were also up by $166,000. Income on interest bearing deposits was down by a modest $19,000. Interest income on loans increased as a result of growth in average loans outstanding of $3.9 million for the year ended March 31, 1997. The weighted average yield on loans was 8.02% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 compared to 8.13% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996. Interest income on mortgage-backed and investment securities also increased primarily as a result of higher outstanding balances. Mortgage-backed securities averaged $91.4 million during fiscal 1997 compared to $87.6 million during fiscal 1996. Securities and FHLB stock averaged $95.2 million during fiscal 1997 compared to $60.3 million during fiscal 1996. The weighted average yields on mortgage-backed and investment securities were 6.67% and 7.02% respectively during fiscal 1997, compared to 6.58% and 6.09% during fiscal 1996. 9 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $2.3 million to $18.7 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 compared to $16.4 million during fiscal 1996. Interest paid on deposits decreased by $109,000 due to an decrease in the average rate paid to 4.84% from 4.93%, which more than offset the decrease of $2.8 million in average deposit balances. Interest on Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased by $2.5 million as average balances outstanding increased by $46.3 million. The average rate paid on advances was 5.74% during fiscal 1997 compared to 6.17% during fiscal year 1996. Provision for Loan Losses. During the year ended March 31, 1997, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $113,000 compared to $207,000 for the year ended March 31, 1996. During the period ended March 31, 1997 the bank reduced the loan loss provision by $232,000 relating to the reversal of specific reserves on a previously impaired loan. This decrease in the provision is partially offset by increases of $119,000 reflecting increased charge offs on consumer loans. Net recoveries amounted to $225,000 during fiscal 1997 compared to $62,000 during fiscal 1996. Asset quality, as measured by non-performing loans to total loans, improved for the year ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same period a year ago. The ratios of non-performing loans to total assets were 1.11% at March 31, 1997 and 1.75% at March 31, 1996, respectively. The allowance for losses, as a ratio to total loans, was 1.00% at March 31, 1997 compared to 1.07% at March 31, 1996. Other Income. Other income increased by $187,000 to $1,624,000 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. Service charges increased by $213,000, profit on sale of loans by $5,000, and gains on real estate owned by $10,000. Commissions on investment and insurance products decreased by $20,000. A loss of $56,000 was realized on the sale of investment and mortgage-backed securities compared to a loss of $6,000 during fiscal 1996. Earnings from other sources were up by $29,000 during fiscal 1997. Other Expense. The Company's other expenses increased $1.3 million to $10.2 million for the year ended March 31, 1997, compared to $8.9 million for the year ended March 31, 1996, primarily because of the inclusion of the special FDIC-SAIF special assessment in the amount of $1.77 million mentioned under the "general" heading above. Salaries and employee benefits were $133,000 or 3.0% lower during fiscal 1997 than during fiscal 1996, while most other expenses remained relatively stable. Income Tax Provision. The Company's income tax provision increased from $661,000 for the year ended March 31, 1996 to $1,003,000 for the year ended March 31, 1997. The increase was primarily because the Company was able to recognize a greater loan loss deduction for tax purposes due to growth in loan balances during fiscal 1996. 10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Average Balance Sheet. The following table presents for the periods indicated the average balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the amount of interest income and the interest expense, and the average yield on assets and the average cost of liabilities. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing interest income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. No tax equivalent adjustments were made. Non-accruing loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

The following table presents the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and interest expense during the years indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided for changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by prior rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). Changes attributable to both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

In addition, management evaluates the adequacy of its allowance for possible loan losses. Non-Performing Assets. The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in the Bank's loan portfolio. For the years presented, the Bank had no accruing loans delinquent more than 90 days. Real estate owned includes loans classified as in-substance foreclosures and property acquired in settlement of foreclosed loans which are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less estimated cost to sell. Other assets include other repossessed assets.

This compares to four non-performing assets at March 31, 1997 that had balances in excess of $100,000. Non-accruing Loans. As of March 31, 1998, the Bank had $911,000 in book value of non-accruing loans compared to $2.5 million as of March 31, 1997. For the year ended March 31, 1998, gross interest income which would have been recorded had the Bank's non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $73,000. The amount that was included in interest income on such loans was $39,000 for the year ended March 31, 1998. Real Estate Owned. At March 31, 1998, the Bank's real estate acquired through foreclosure totaled $93,000. Other Loans of Concern. In addition to the non-performing assets set forth in the table above, as of March 31, 1998, there was an aggregate of $3.2 million in net book value of loans which management is closely monitoring for the borrowers' ability to comply with current repayment terms. Management believes it has taken a conservative approach in evaluating under-performing credits. 13 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Delinquent Loans.

One method used to analyze the Bank's sensitivity to changes in interest rates is to measure the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets which are anticipated to mature or reprice within a given period of time compared to the amount of interest-bearing liabilities which are expected to mature or reprice within the same period. This difference is known as the interest rate sensitivity "gap." A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets anticipated to reprice or mature exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities anticipated to reprice or mature in a given period. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities anticipated to reprice or mature exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets anticipated to reprice or mature in a given period. At March 31, 1998, the Company's total interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one year exceeded total interest-earning assets maturing or repricing in the same period by $56.9 million, representing a negative cumulative one-year gap ratio of 12.95% of total assets. The Company relies on certain assumptions, such as the amount and timing of loan prepayments, among others, in the measurement of the interest rate sensitivity gap. In light of the Company's negative cumulative one-year gap ratio, management believes that an increase in interest rates will adversely effect its net interest income. The Company focuses lending efforts toward the origination and purchase of competitively priced adjustable-rate loan products and fixed-rate loan products with relatively short terms to maturity, generally fifteen years or less. This allows the Company to maintain a portfolio of loans which will be sensitive to changes in the level of interest rates while providing a reasonable spread to the cost of liabilities used to fund the loans. The effect of these assumptions is to quantify the dollar amount of items that are interest-sensitive and which can be repriced within each of the periods specified. Such repricing can occur in one of three ways: (i) the rate of interest to be paid on an asset or liability may adjust periodically on the basis of an interest rate index, (ii) an asset or liability such as a mortgage loan may amortize, permitting reinvestment of cash flows at the then-prevailing interest rate, or (iii) an asset or liability may mature, at which time the proceeds can be reinvested at the current market rates. The following table sets forth the interest rate sensitivity of the Company's assets and liabilities at March 31, 1998 on the basis of the above-described assumptions, and sets forth the repricing dates of the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at March 31, 1998 and the Company's interest rate sensitivity "gap" percentages at the dates indicated. Information presented is based on estimated prepayment rates ranging from 9% to 50% for loans and mortgage-backed securities, depending on their maturity and yield. Passbook savings and NOW account balances assume a 17% and 37% annual decay rate, respectively, and money market demand amounts assume a 79% annual decay rate. 15 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Maturing or Repricing - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Less than 6-12 Over 1-3 Over 3-5 Over 6 Months Months Years Years 5 Years - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fixed-rate one- to four- family, multi-family (including mortgage-backed securities), commercial real estate and construction loans $ 16,284 $ 10,009 $ 30,186 $ 21,630 $ 40,648 Adjustable rate one- to four- family, multi-family (including mortgage-backed securities) commercial real estate and construction loans 55,831 17,921 30,255 12,971 12,137 Consumer loans 10,256 7,183 21,444 9,244 4,008 Investment securities and other 10,942 7,001 21,849 77,186 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Total interest-earning assets 93,313 35,113 88,886 65,694 133,979 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Savings deposits 2,368 4,024 11,789 5,700 28,169 Demand and NOW deposits 9,830 6,277 9,600 2,761 5,540 Certificates 89,494 37,412 37,291 15,837 14,987 FHLB advances 18,340 17,553 17,107 5,365 40,993 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Total interest-bearing liabilities 120,032 65,266 75,787 29,663 89,689 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Interest-earning assets less interest-bearing liabilities $ (26,719) $ (30,153) $ 13,099 $ 36,031 $ 44,290 ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= Cumulative interest-rate sensitivity gap $ (26,719) $ (56,872) $ (43,773) $ (7,742) $ 36,548 ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= Cumulative interest-rate gap as a percentage of assets (6.08)% (12.95)% (9.97)% (1.76)% 8.34% ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= In evaluating the Company's exposure to interest rate risk, certain shortcomings inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables must be considered. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, 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. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgages, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. For example, projected passbook, money market and NOW account maturities may materially change if interest rates change significantly or if alternative savings/investment products become attractive. The ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. The Company considers all of these factors in monitoring its exposure to interest rate risk. In addition, the foregoing table does not necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate movements on the Company's net interest income because the repricing of certain categories of assets and liabilities is subject to competitive and other pressures beyond the Company's control. As a result, certain assets and liabilities indicated as maturing or otherwise repricing within a stated period may, in fact, mature or reprice at different times and at different volumes. 16 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") requires the Bank to calculate the estimated change in its net portfolio value ("NPV") assuming an instantaneous, parallel shift in the Treasury yield curve of 100 to 400 basis points ("bp") either up or down. NPV represents the sum of future cash flows discounted to present value. The OTS permits the Bank to utilize the OTS model to determine the impact of parallel and instantaneous shifts in the Treasury yields curve. While the OTS model uses data submitted by the Bank to the OTS, many of the assumptions imbedded in the model, such as loan prepayment rates and deposit decay rates, are determined by the OTS. The following table sets forth the Bank's interest rate sensitivity of NPV as of March 31, 1998 as calculated by the OTS (dollars in 000's): Net portfolio value NPV as % of PV of Assets - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change in rates $ Amount $ Change % Change NPV Ratio Change - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +400 bp 26,039 (26,434) (50%) 6.55% (535 bp) +300 bp 33,181 (19,292) (37%) 8.12% (378 bp) +200 bp 40,138 (12,335) (24%) 9.57% (234 bp) +100 bp 46,707 (5,766) (11%) 10.85% (105 bp) 0 bp 52,473 11.90% (100 bp) 57,316 4,843 9% 12.72% + 82 bp (200 bp) 60,845 8,373 16% 13.25% +134 bp (300 bp) 64,458 11,985 23% 13.76% +186 bp (400 bp) 69,635 17,162 33% 14.52% +262 bp Liquidity and Capital Resources The OTS requires minimum levels of liquid assets. OTS regulations presently require the Bank to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets (United States Treasury, federal agency and other investments) equal to at least 4.0% of the sum of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less. Such requirements may be changed from time to time by the OTS to reflect changing economic conditions. Such investments are intended to provide a source of relatively liquid funds upon which Permanent Federal may rely, if necessary, to fund deposit withdrawals and other short-term funding needs. The Bank has historically maintained its liquidity ratio in excess of that required. At March 31, 1998, the amount of the Bank's liquidity was $192.7 million, resulting in a liquidity ratio of 65.55%. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management. The Bank adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) yields available on interest-bearing deposits and (iv) the objectives of its asset/liability management program. Excess liquidity generally is invested in interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term government and agency obligations. If the Bank requires additional funds, beyond its internal ability to generate, it has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB and collateral eligible for repurchase agreements. The Bank principally uses its liquidity resources to meet ongoing commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and deposit withdrawals, to invest, to fund existing and future loan commitments, to maintain liquidity, and to meet operating expenses. At March 31, 1998, the Bank had approximately $4.9 million of loan commitments and an additional $5.5 million of undisbursed loans in process. The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in a year or less at March 31, 1998 totalled $124 million. Based on historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank, however, there can be no assurance that the Bank can retain all such deposits. 17 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Management believes that loan repayments and other sources of funds will be adequate to meet and exceed the Bank's foreseeable short- and long-term liquidity needs. The primary investing activities of the Bank include investing in loans, mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury and agency securities and other investment securities. At March 31, 1998, these assets accounted for 94.2% of the Company's total assets. The purchases are funded primarily from loan repayments, maturities of securities, FHLB advances and increases in deposits and net income. At March 31, 1998, the Bank had outstanding borrowings of $99.4 million from the FHLB and had the capacity to borrow up to a total of approximately $203 million. Under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA"), the capital requirements applicable to all savings institutions, including the Bank, have been substantially increased. However, the Bank is in compliance with the fully phased-in capital requirements. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of regulatory capital requirements. Dividends are subject to determination and declaration by the Board of Directors, which will take into account the Company's consolidated financial condition and results of operations as well as other relevant factors. The Company's ability to pay dividends is subject to federal regulations and its continued compliance with regulatory capital requirements. The Company is also subject to the requirements of Delaware law, which generally limits dividends to an amount in excess of a company's net assets over paid-in-capital, or, if there is no such excess, to its net profits for the current and immediately preceding fiscal year. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion. Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The consolidated financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require the measurement of financial position and results of operations in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time because of inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of Permanent Federal are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Company's performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. In the present interest rate environment, the liquidity, maturity structure and quality of Permanent Federal's assets and liabilities are important factors in the maintenance of acceptable performance levels. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statements 130 and 131 that the Company will be required to adopt in future periods. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the statements requirements. 18 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Permanent Bancorp, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Permanent Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary (the "Company") as of March 31, 1998 and 1997 and the consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Permanent Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary as of March 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/DELOITTE & TOUCHE L L P - -------------------------- DELOITTE & TOUCHE L L P May 11, 1998 Indianapolis, Indiana 19 Consolidated Statements of Permanent Financial Condition Bancorp, Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization - Permanent Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware Corporation, commenced operations on March 31, 1994 upon acquisition of Permanent Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. The Company was initially capitalized and the Bank acquired by the issuance of 4,761,000 shares of common stock which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $22,809,881. Business of the Company - Permanent Bancorp, Inc. is a savings and loan holding company incorporated to hold all of the outstanding common stock of Bank, with its principal offices in Evansville, Indiana and branch locations in Fort Branch, Jasper, Newburgh and Oakland City, Indiana. Basis of Presentation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank which is wholly owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates most susceptible to change in the near term include the allowance for loan losses and the fair value of securities. Cash and cash equivalents - All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Securities Available for Sale and Securities Held to Maturity - Securities are classified and accounted for as follows: o Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held to maturity securities" and reported at amortized cost. Debt securities classified as held to maturity and sold within three months of their expected maturity or call dates are considered maturities of the securities. Similarly, the sale of held to maturity debt securities occurring after the Company has collected at least 85% of the principal originally acquired is considered a maturity of the security. o Debt and equity securities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as "trading securities" and reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. The Company has not held trading securities during the three years ended March 31, 1998. o Debt and equity securities not classified as either held to maturity or trading securities are classified as "available for sale securities" and reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, after applicable taxes, excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Premiums and discounts are amortized over the contractual lives of the related securities using the level yield method. Gains or losses on sales of securities are based on the specific identification method. Other Investments - The Bank, through a subsidiary, has an investment in an insurance company partnership which underwrites various types of life and disability insurance and annuity programs. The investment is recorded using the equity method. Loans - Loans are reported at their outstanding principal balance net of the allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Deferred loan fees and origination costs are amortized and recognized as an adjustment of yield over the life of the loan. 25 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company adopted SFAS 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" (MSRs), on April 1, 1996. SFAS 122 requires that the Company recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for others that have been acquired through either the purchase or origination of a loan. Additionally, SFAS 122 requires that MSRs be reported on the consolidated statement of financial condition at the lower of cost or fair value. These servicing costs are initially capitalized and subsequently amortized in proportion to, and over the period of estimated net loan servicing income. The Bank originates loans for portfolio investment or for sale in the secondary market. During the loan origination period, loans are designated as held for sale or portfolio investment. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market, determined on an individual loan basis. Allowance for Losses - The balance in the allowance for loan losses and the amount in the provision for loan losses are judgmentally determined based upon a number of factors. The allowance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover possible losses that are currently anticipated based on past loss experience, general economic conditions, information about specific borrower situations, collateral values and other factors. While management endeavors to use the best information available in making the evaluations, future allowance adjustments may be necessary. Management may periodically allocate portions of the allowance for specific problem loan situations although the entire allowance is available for any loan charge-offs which occur. Increases to the allowance are recorded by a provision for possible loan losses charged to expense. A loan is charged off by management as a loss when deemed uncollectible, although collection efforts continue and future recoveries may occur. Loan Servicing - The Company services mortgage loans for permanent investors under servicing contracts. Fees earned for servicing loans owned by investors are based on the outstanding principal balances of the loans being serviced and are recognized as income when the related mortgage payments are received. Loan servicing costs are charged to expense as incurred. Office Properties and Equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods over estimated useful lives that range from three to thirty-five years. Real Estate Owned - When property is acquired, it is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value at the date of acquisition less any estimated selling costs and any write-down resulting therefrom is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Any subsequent deterioration of the property is charged directly to real estate owned expense. Loans secured by property for which there is an indication that the borrower has little or no equity in the collateral based upon the current fair value of the collateral, no longer has the ability to repay the loan and it is doubtful that equity will be rebuilt in the foreseeable future are classified as in-substance foreclosures. Costs relating to the development and improvement of real estate owned are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding and maintaining the property are charged to expense. Goodwill represents the fair market value of liabilities assumed and cash consideration paid over the fair market value of assets acquired. Goodwill is amortized the life of the underlying net assets or liabilities that give rise to it but not more than fifteen years. Impairment of goodwill results in a charge to expense and/or a change in the amortization period. Amortization expense for the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $167,036, $ 218,603 and $218,603 respectively. Uncollected Interest - The Bank provides an allowance for the loss of uncollected interest on loans which are more than 90 days past due. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received until, in management's judgment, the borrower's ability to make periodic interest and principal payments returns to normal, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status. 26 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Federal Income Taxes - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and basis of such assets and liabilities as measured by tax laws and regulations. The Company and the Bank file consolidated income tax returns. New Accounting Pronouncements - In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events or circumstances from nonowner sources. In June 1997, the FASB also issued No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement establishes the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The provisions of both of these statements are of a disclosure nature only and will not have an effect on the Company's financial condition or net income. Earnings per Share - In 1998 the Company adopted SFAS 128 "Earnings per Share" and has retroactively restated 1997 and 1996 per share amounts. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share represents the dilutive impact of the Company's outstanding stock options. The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average common shares for the basic and diluted earnings per share computations: Years Ended March 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic average common shares 4,048,150 4,226,304 4,413,420 Dilutive effect of stock options 251,216 182,534 156,560 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diluted average common shares 4,299,366 4,408,838 4,569,980 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acquisition - On May 19, 1997, the Company acquired in a purchase transaction a branch location in Newburgh, Indiana. The Company acquired $4.6 million of cash, $838,000 of office properties and equipment and $30,000 of other assets and assumed approximately $5.7 million of deposit liabilities. The transaction created approximately $294,000 of goodwill. Changes In Presentation - Certain items appearing in the 1997 and 1996 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1998 presentation. Subsequent Events - In April, 1998 the Company announced a two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend. All equity amounts and per share data presented have been retroactively restated to reflect this dividend. Also in April, 1998, the Company announced that it had reached a definitive agreement to acquire four branch offices from NBD Bank, N.A. The acquisition, which is expected to be completed at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 1999, will increase the Company's deposit base by approximately $85 million. The Company will acquire approximately $40 million of loans in this transaction. 27 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2.

For the years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, gross interest income which would have been recorded had the Bank's non-accruing loans been current with their original terms amounted to $73,277 and $240,756 respectively. The amounts included in interest income on such loans were $39,338 and $105,038 for the years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Bank originates commercial real estate loans. Such loans had a carrying value of approximately $9 million and $12 million at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. These loans are considered by management to be of somewhat greater risk of uncollectibility than other loans due to the dependency on income production. Of the commercial real estate loans, $4 million and $8 million are collateralized by multi-family residential property at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively; and $5 million, and $4 million by hotel and other property at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Bank had commitments to make loans, approximating $4,886,000 and $1,550,000 excluding undisbursed portions of loans in-process at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Aggregate loans to officers and directors totaled $630,613 and $676,855 at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. For the years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 loans of $202,444 and $124,899 respectively, were disbursed to officers and directors and repayments of principal of $248,686 and $181,150 respectively, were received from officers and directors. The amount of loans serviced for others totalled approximately $32,468,000 and $34,298,000 at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Cash received for interest on impaired loans was $108,989 and $294,091 for the years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. As a federally-chartered savings bank, aggregate commercial real estate loans may not exceed 400% of capital as determined under the capital standards provisions of FIRREA. This limitation was approximately $154 million and $134 million as of March 31, 1998, and 1997, respectively. Also, under applicable regulations, the loans-to-one borrower limitation is defined and is generally 15% of unimpaired capital which, for the Bank, was approximately $5.7 million at March 31, 1998 and $5.2 million at March 31,1997.

Deferred income taxes have not been provided on such bad debt deductions since the Company does not intend to use the accumulated bad debt deductions for purposes other than to absorb loan losses. If, in the future, this portion of retained earnings is used for any purpose other than to absorb bad debt losses, federal income taxes may be imposed on such amounts at the then current corporate income tax rate. In August 1996, the "Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996" was passed into law. One provision of the act repeals the special bad debt reserve method for thrift institutions currently provided for in Section 593 of the IRC. The provision requires thrifts to recapture any reserve accumulated after 1987 but forgives taxes owed on reserves accumulated prior to 1988. Thrift institutions will be given six years to account for the recaptured excess reserves, beginning with the first taxable year after 1995, and will be permitted to delay the timing of this recapture for one or two years, subject to whether they meet certain residential loan test requirements. 10. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. The regulations require the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital classifications are also subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios as set forth in the following tables of core and total risk-based capital. Prompt Corrective Action provisions contained in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) require specific supervisory actions as capital levels decrease. To be considered well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for Prompt Corrective Action Provisions under FDICIA, the Bank must maintain minimum Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios as set forth in the following tables. At March 31, 1998 and 1997 the Bank exceeded the minimum requirements for the well-capitalized category. The following presents the Bank's minimum and "well-capitalized" regulatory capital levels. As of March 31, 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Actual Capital Required Capital - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Amount Ratio Amount Ratio - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OTS capital adequacy Core capital $38,178,423 8.76% $17,440,197 4.00% Risk-based capital 40,097,017 21.05 15,239,127 8.00 FDICIA regulations to be classified well-capitalized Tier 1 leverage capital 38,178,423 8.76 21,800,246 5.00 Tier 1 risk-based capital 38,178,423 20.04 11,429,346 6.00 Total risk-based capital 40,097,017 21.05 19,048,909 10.00 37 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of March 31, 1997 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual Capital Required Capital - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OTS capital adequacy Core capital $34,701,101 8.27% $12,583,846 3.00% Risk-based capital 36,480,827 20.80 14,034,819 8.00 FDICIA regulations to be classified well-capitalized Tier 1 leverage capital 34,701,101 8.27 20,980,109 5.00 Tier 1 risk-based capital 34,701,101 19.78 10,526,117 6.00 Total risk-based capital 36,480,827 20.80 17,538,859 10.00 11. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND REGULATORY MATTERS Dividend Restrictions - Under current regulations, the Bank is not permitted to pay dividends on its stock if its regulatory capital would thereby reduce below (i) the amount then required for the liquidation account established at the time the Bank converted from a mutual to stock form of ownership or (ii) the Bank's regulatory capital requirements. As a "Tier 1" institution (an institution with capital in excess of its fully phased-in capital requirements, both immediately before the proposed capital distribution and on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such distribution), the Bank may make capital distributions after prior notice to the OTS in any calendar year up to 100% of its net earnings to date during such calendar year plus the amount that would reduce by one-half its capital surplus ratio at the beginning of such calendar year. Any additional amount of capital distributions would require prior regulatory approval. The Company has regulatory approval to pay $4,000,000 in dividends at March 31, 1998. Preferred Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value which remains unissued at March 31, 1998. In the event any preferred shares are issued, the Board of Directors is authorized to fix and state the voting powers, designations, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and restriction thereof. Recapitalization of SAIF - On September 30, 1996, the President signed into law an omnibus appropriations act for fiscal year 1997 that included, among other things, the recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) in a section entitled "The Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996" (the Act). The Act included a provision where all insured depository institutions would be charged a one-time special assessment on their SAIF assessable deposits as of March 31, 1995. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $1,766,185 during the year ended March 31, 1997, which represented 65.7 basis points of the March 31, 1995, assessable deposits. 12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Multi-employer Pension Plan - The Bank participates in a noncontributory multi-employer pension plan covering all qualified employees. The plan is administered by the trustees of the Financial Institutions' Retirement Fund. There is no separate valuation of the plan benefits nor segregation of plan assets specifically for the Bank because the plan is a multi-employer plan and separate actuarial valuations are not made with respect to each employer. Pension expense amounted to $40,000 and $142,028 for the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. There was no pension expense in 1998. 38 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Employee Stock Ownership Plan - The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) which owns 333,270 shares of the Company's common stock. The ESOP purchase of the stock was funded by a loan from the Company (loan balance of $714,150 and $952,200 at March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively) which will be repaid by contributions to the ESOP by the Company in the future. Pursuant to the ESOP, the shares are to be allocated to participants annually over an 8 year period. The ESOP covers substantially all employees and shares are allocated based upon employee compensation levels during the year. ESOP expense is based on the fair value of shares earned and totaled $639,317, $479,046 and $503,579 during 1998 and 1997, and 1996, respectively. During fiscal years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, 47,688 shares, 49,728 shares and 51,780 shares were earned by participants. At March 31, 1998, 130,340 shares with a fair value of approximately $2,273,000 were held in suspense by the ESOP. These shares are not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of computing earning per share. Recognition and Retention Plan - The Company has a Recognition and Retention Plan (RRP) which provides executive officers and employees with a proprietary interest in the Company in a manner designed to encourage such individuals to remain with the Bank. Restricted stock awards covering up to 4% of the common stock issued may be awarded under the RRP. Awarded stock vests at a rate of 20% per year. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, and 1997 an additional 9,000 and 1,000 shares were awarded. The cost of the RRP is being reflected as compensation expense as vesting occurs. This amounted to $125,242, $178,070 and $135,740 during the fiscal years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996. Termination of employees resulted in 2,856 shares, 2,428 shares 5,712 shares being cancelled during the fiscal years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 respectively. Stock Option and Incentive Plan - The Company has granted stock options to existing stockholders, officers, directors and other affiliated individuals to purchase shares of the Company's stock. Awarded options vest at a rate of 25% per year and are exercisable in the ten years immediately following the grant. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, options to purchase an additional 9,522 and 32,000 shares were awarded. No options were issued in 1998. Employee terminations resulted in options to purchase of 3,572, 5,952 and 10,712 shares being cancelled during fiscal years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 respectively. The following is an analysis of stock option activity for each of the three years in the period ending March 31, 1998 and the stock options outstanding at the end of the respective years: Weighted Average Options Shares Price - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding April 1, 1995 435,610 5.03 Granted 32,000 8.22 Exercised (7,138) 5.00 Forfeited or expired (10,712) 5.00 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding March 31, 1996 449,760 5.26 Granted 9,522 8.13 Exercised (11,658) 5.46 Fortified or expired (5,952) 5.00 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding March 31, 1997 441,672 5.32 Exercised (36,112) 5.07 Fortified or expired (3,572) 5.00 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at March 31, 1998 401,988 5.34 =========================================================================================== 39 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The number of vested shares exercisable at March 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996 were: 376,465, 296,272 and 196,384, respectively and had a weighted average exercise price of $5.16, $5.09 and $5.01, respectively. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding at March 31, 1998 and 1997 was 6.3 years and 7.2 years, respectively. Exercise prices for options outstanding at March 31, 1998 ranged from $5.00 to $8.22. The Company applies APB opinion No. 25 ("Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees") and related interpretations in accounting for the plan. No compensation cost has been recognized for the plan because the stock option price is equal to the fair value at the grant date. Had compensation cost for the plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plan consistent with the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 ("Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"), the Company's proforma net income per share would be as follows: Year Ended March 31, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1998 1998 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net income : As reported $2,645,167 $1,303,544 $1,249,305 Proforma 2,631,973 1,293,311 1,246,344 Basic : Net income per share: As reported $ 0.65 $ 0.31 $ 0.28 Proforma 0.65 0.31 0.28 Diluted Net income per share: As reported $ 0.62 $ 0.30 $ 0.27 Proforma 0.61 0.29 0.27 The fair value of option grants are estimated on the date of grant using an option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yields of 0.96% to 1.7%, risk-free interest rates of 5.75% to 6.74%, expected volatility of 18% and an expected life of five years. The proforma amounts are not representative of the effects on reported net income for future years. Deferred Compensation (401K) Plan - The Company has an Employee Deferred Compensation (401K) Plan administered through the financial institution's retirement fund. Each employee may contribute up to 6% of compensation. Employee contributions of up to 4% of compensation are matched by the Company at a rate of $.25 per dollar of employee contribution. The Company matching expense was $21,450, $19,203 and $19,386 during the fiscal years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Directors Deferred Compensation Plan - The Bank has entered into deferred compensation agreements with certain directors. Benefits under these agreements are paid over a ten year period upon retirement. The present value of the benefit to be paid is accrued over the active period of employment of individual participants and is funded by life insurance policies. 40 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 13. COMMITMENTS Lease commitments - The Company has future minimum rental commitments for noncancelable operating leases as follows: Fiscal year ended March 31: --------------------------- 1999 $81,156 2000 69,582 2001 65,724 2002 25,431 2003 7,000 Rental expense for the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $79,036, $70,265 and $57,851, respectively. Rental income from noncancelable subleases for the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $119,306, $103,306, and $93,883, respectively. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk - The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk of loss as part of its normal business operations to meet the financing needs of its customers by providing commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract amount of these instruments reflects the extent of involvement the Company has in this class of financial instruments. Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contract amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Unless noted otherwise, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided 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. Some commitments will expire without a loan disbursement; thus, the total commitment does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. See also Note 4. The collateral consists predominantly of residential family units, commercial residential or non-residential real estate, and personal property. Employment agreement - The Company has entered into employment agreements with two executive officers. Under certain circumstances provided in the agreement, the Company may be obligated to continue the officer's salary for a period of three years. Standby letters of Credit - Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit amounted to $53,000 at March 31, 1998. 41 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 14. PERMANENT BANCORP, INC.

However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Cash, interest-bearing deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, interest receivable and payable, advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance and other borrowed funds - The carrying amounts of these items are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. Investment securities and mortgage-backed securities - Fair values are based on prices obtained from independent pricing services. Loans - The fair value of mortgage loans is estimated using published loan buy rates for similar loans and quoted market prices for mortgage-backed securities backed by loans with similar characteristics. The fair value of non-mortgage loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates for loans of similar credit risk and maturities. 44 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market deposit accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates offered on the reporting date for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Federal Home Loan Bank advances - The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available to the bank for advances of similar maturities. Commitments - The commitments to originate and purchase loans have terms that are consistent with current market conditions. Accordingly, the Bank estimated that the face amounts of these commitments approximates carrying value. The fair value estimates presented herein are based on information available to management as of March 31, 1998 and 1997. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since that date, and therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amount presented herein. 45 BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND Permanent EXECUTIVE OFFICERS Bancorp, Inc.
