TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS We are pleased to report that net income for the year ended March 31, 1999 was $2.86 million. This amount represents an 8.3% increase over the $2.64 million earned during the year ended March 31, 1998. Net income for the Company has increased every year since Permanent Bancorp, Inc. became publicly traded in 1994. Basic earnings per share were $0.72 for the year ended March 31, 1999 compared to $0.65 for the prior year. Diluted earnings per share were $0.70 for the year ended March 31, 1999 compared to $0.62 for the prior year. Basic earnings per share increased 10.8% and diluted earnings per share increased 12.9% during the year ended March 31, 1999 compared to the prior fiscal year. In June 1998, the Board of Directors increased the dividend per share by 9.1% to an annual rate of $0.24 per share. Based upon the initial public offering price of $5 (as adjusted for the two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend in April 1998) this represents a dividend yield of 4.8%. The Company remains financially strong. Total assets at March 31, 1999 were $492.3 million, an increase of 12.1% from total assets at March 31, 1998. Deposits increased $62.4 million, or 22.1%, and net loans increased $95.7 million, or 42.5%, from March 31, 1998. Substantially all of the deposit growth and approximately 45% of the loan growth is attributable to the Company's acquisition of the deposits and loans of four branch locations from NBD Bank, N.A. in June 1998. The balance of the loan growth is attributable to internally generated expansion of the Company's consumer and commercial loan portfolios. This expansion into higher yielding loans was funded by a decrease in the securities portfolios. Interest rate spread for the year ended March 31, 1999 was 2.74% compared to 2.41% for the year ended March 31, 1998. We are particularly encouraged that at March 31, 1999 interest rate spread was 2.86% compared to 2.40% at March 31, 1998. Net interest margin (or net interest income dividend by average earnings assets) for fiscal 1999 was 2.91% compared to 2.74% for fiscal 1998. Asset quality remains very healthy. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets was .24% at March 31, 1999 and .25% at March 31, 1998. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was .84% at March 31, 1999 and .87% at March 1998. Other measures of asset quality continue to be very favorable. The acquisition of the four branch locations from NBD Bank was a milestone for the Company. Not only did this acquisition provide significant growth, it drastically changed the nature of the Company. At the time of the merger the Company had fifteen branches including the four acquired from NBD. Because of the close proximity of some of the offices, the Company was able to close two offices and take advantage of more modern and efficient locations. Increasingly the Company is becoming a community bank rather than a traditional thrift organization. Consider the following: o Consumer and commercial loans represent 34.7% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 1999 but five years ago represented only 20.5% of total loans. o Five years ago certificates of deposit represented 70% of all deposits. As of March 31, 1999 they represent 62.5% of the Company's deposits. Non-interest bearing deposits have grown from just under $1 million at March 31, 1994 to $12.3 million at March 31, 1999. o Five years ago the internet was only beginning to gain commercial viability. Today the Company has its own website at www.permanentbank.com. We hope you will visit this site. It's a convenient way to keep abreast of your accounts as well as transfer funds and pay bills. 3 o The Company paid its first dividend to shareholders in the quarter ended June 30, 1995. Dividends have been paid in every quarter since then and the dividend rate per share has increased 240% since the initial dividend. In October 1998 the Board of Directors formally adopted a management transition plan in anticipation of the retirement from management of the current Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Donald P. Weinzapfel. In July 1998 John W. Forster retired from the Board of Directors. John has served the Company and its operating subsidiary, Permanent Federal Savings Bank, for more than twenty years. In recognition of this service John has been elected a director emeritus of the Bank. We wish John well. This spring the Company began construction on a new branch banking facility on the growing east side of Evansville. We anticipate that this facility will be fully operational by the end of 1999. We, as always, appreciate the support of our shareholders. We are very optimistic about fiscal 2000 and look forward to continued earnings growth. /s/ Murray J. Brown /s/ Donald P.

(the "Company") and its subsidiary, Permanent Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"). This section provides information which is not otherwise apparent from the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Income, Stockholders' Equity and Cash Flows and is intended to assist readers in understanding the Company's performance and financial condition. The principal business of the Company consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using these deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to originate one to four family residential mortgage loans as well as multi-family and commercial real estate loans, 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. The Company 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. The Bank 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 The Company may from time to time make "forward-looking statements," including statements contained in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), in its reports to shareholders and in other communications, which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to the Company's beliefs, expectations, estimates and intentions, that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various factors (some of which are beyond the Company's control). Those risks and uncertainties could cause the Company's financial performance to differ materially from expectations, estimates, and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake, and expressly disclaims any intent or obligation, to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company. 8 Information Systems and the Year 2000 The Company began working on its Year 2000 (or "Y2K") plan, a term which refers to uncertainties about the ability of data processing hardware and software to properly interpret dates after the beginning of the Year 2000, in calendar year 1997. A project leader who is a member of senior management has been assigned to the project while senior management oversees it and regularly reports to the Board of Directors. A comprehensive Year 2000 Plan (the "Plan") that includes phases relating to awareness, assessment, renovation, validation and implementation has been established and includes a timetable and summarizes each major phase of the project and the estimated costs to renovate and test systems in preparation for the Year 2000. The awareness phase included a Company-wide campaign to communicate and identify the problem and the potential ramifications to the organization. Concurrent with this phase, the assessment phase began which included the inventorying of systems that may be impacted. The business use of each system was analyzed and prioritized based upon the perceived adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company in the event of a loss or interruption in the use of that system. The Company has completed the awareness and assessment phases of the project. The Company has outsourced the most critical data processing activities to an industry-known service provider who is responsible for modifying its programs to be compliant with Year 2000 processing; however, testing of those systems is the responsibility of the Company. Focusing on these critical systems, the Company has closely reviewed and monitored this vendor's progress. Year 2000 compliant upgrades to these outsourced critical data processing systems were installed throughout fiscal 1999 and the service provider has represented that this process is substantially complete. The Y2K upgrades have been tested according to a comprehensive plan. All issues discovered during the testing were reported to the service provider for remediation. Additional testing was conducted to assure that each identified issue was correctly repaired. The Company has not discovered any material issues during the testing. Other critical systems have also been assessed as to their Year 2000 readiness. These systems have been purchased from other industry-known vendors and are generally used in their purchased configuration. The Company is closely reviewing and monitoring these systems in addition to reviewing less critical systems as to each vendor's progress and testing. Systems are being tested in a non-production environment. Assurance of Year 2000 compliance for these systems has been received from substantially all of our vendors including all those deemed critical. Integrated testing on all critical applications will continue through the first half of calendar year 1999. The review of non-critical systems has begun and is also expected to be completed by June 30, 1999. A system is deemed validated upon completion of an appropriate test plan and system testing of the Year 2000 compliant version without problems. The Company's overall costs associated with year 2000 implementation will be reduced due to its outsourcing arrangement previously discussed; however, incremental direct expenses to date of approximately $55,000 have been incurred and the Company anticipates incurring approximately $90,000 of additional incremental expenses in fiscal 2000. Included in this amount are capital improvements which will be accelerated in part due to Year 2000 concerns. The capital improvements include replacing older technology, personal computers and software and telecommunication systems. Although implementation of this equipment and software will resolve certain Year 2000 issues, they will also provide increased or improved functionality and efficiencies. The cost of this equipment and software is expected to be charged to expense over the estimated useful lives. The aforementioned costs do not include the salary of the project leader or the time of management and staff assisting on the project which are estimated to total 2,000 hours from fourth quarter 1998 through calendar 1999. The total cost could vary significantly from those currently estimated because of unforeseen circumstances which could develop in implementing the Plan. 9 The Company has begun communications with its customers informing them of its efforts to become Y2K compliant and is periodically inserting a summary of its progress in its periodic mailings to customers. The Company has posted Y2K information on its Web Site and is training its employees to become knowledgeable about the progress being made to be compliant. Posters are displayed in the Bank's lobbies with Y2K information. Concurrent with the development and execution of the Plan is the evolution of the Company's Year 2000 contingency plan. The contingency plan is intended to be a changing document developed and modified based on the results of the project. The contingency plan currently includes the contingency procedures for critical data processing and environmental systems and key suppliers. The contingency plan also addresses a variety of additional issues including credit risk, liquidity and loan and deposit customers. The Company has completed an evaluation of Year 2000 risks relating to its lines of business separate from its dependence on data processing that includes a review of larger commercial customers to ascertain their overall preparedness for Year 2000. The process required lending and other bank officers to meet with their customers to review and assess their preparedness. The failure of a commercial customer to prepare adequately for Year 2000 could have a significant adverse effect on such customer's operations and profitability and thereby inhibit its ability to repay loans or require the use of its deposited funds. While the process of evaluating the potential adverse effects of Year 2000 risks on these customers is substantially complete, it is not possible to quantify the overall potential effect on the Company. The plan also includes provisions which address the Year 2000 compliance of environmental systems, which include items such as elevators, security systems and heating and air conditioning systems. No significant business risks have been revealed regarding these types of systems. While the Company is making a substantial effort to become Year 2000 compliant, there is no assurance that the failure to adequately address all issues relating to the Year 2000 problem would not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. FINANCIAL CONDITION March 31, 1999 Compared to March 31, 1998 The Company's total assets at March 31, 1999 were $492.3 million, an increase of $53.2 million, or 12.1% from $439.1 million at March 31, 1998. Investment and mortgage-backed securities amounted to $123.2 million at March 31, 1999, a decrease of $63.9 million from $187.1 million at March 31, 1998. Net loans increased by $95.7 million or 42.4% to $321 million at March 31, 1999 compared to $225.3 million at March 31, 1998. Total liabilities were $451.5 million at March 31, 1999, up $55.1 million, or 13.9% from $396.4 million at March 31, 1998. Deposits of $345.3 million were up $62.4 million or 22.1% from $282.9 million at March 31, 1998. Substantially all of the deposit growth and approximately 45% of the loan growth is attributable to the Company's acquisition of four branch locations from NBD Bank, N.A. on June 26, 1998. The balance of the loan portfolio growth is attributable primarily to internally generated growth primarily in the consumer loan portfolio. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances decreased by $2.9 million to $96.5 million at March 31, 1999 from $99.4 million at March 31, 1998. Total stockholders' equity decreased by $1.8 million to $40.9 million at March 31, 1999. The Company earned $2.86 million and paid $1.21 million of dividends to its shareholders. The Company purchased $4.16 million of treasury shares and received $0.22 million from the issuance of its stock. The fair value of securities decreased by approximately $0.22 million and $0.69 million of stock was earned or became vested under the Company's ESOP and restricted stock award programs. 10 One to four family first mortgage loans increased by $14 million and consumer loans increased by $40.7 million. Commercial and multi-family real estate loans increased by $36.5 million, land and construction loans increased by $4.8 million and commercial paper decreased by $.014 million. The allowance for loan losses increased by $.73 million due principally to the acquisition of $.76 million of loss reserves associated with the loans acquired from NBD. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998. General. The Company's net income of $2.86 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 was $0.22 million greater or 8.3% more than the $2.64 million earned during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998. Operating results for the year ended March 31, 1999 include the income and expenses related to the assets and liabilities of the four locations acquired from NBD Bank, N.A. since June 26, 1998, the date of acquisition, since the transaction has been accounted for as a purchase. Net Interest Income. The Company's net interest income increased by $1.8 million to $13 million for the year ended March 31, 1999 compared to $11.2 million for the year ended March 31, 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the interest rate spread of 0.33%. Interest Income. Interest income for the year ended March 31, 1999 increased $2.4 million to $32.9 million compared to $30.5 million for the same period in 1998. Interest income increased because total interest earning assets increased, primarily due to the previously described NBD acquisition, and funds were shifted from lower earning investment securities into higher yielding loans. Average securities, which includes mortgage-backed securities, other securities and FHLB stock, decreased by $31.2 million from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999. The rate earned on mortgage-backed securities decreased to 6.17% in fiscal 1999 from 6.52% in the prior fiscal year. The rate earned on all other securities, including the FHLB stock, decreased to 6.16% in fiscal 1999 from 7.01% in the prior fiscal year. The average of other interest bearing assets, which are primarily deposits and other short-term investments, increased to $6.1 million in fiscal 1999 from $1.4 million in the prior fiscal year. The rate earned on these investments decreased to 4.65% in fiscal 1999 from 7.49% in fiscal 1998. Average loans outstanding increased $64.8 million from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999. This represents a 30% increase in average outstanding loans. During the same period, the yields on loans declined by one basis point (.01%). The yield on all interest-earning assets decreased by 11 basis points (.11%) in fiscal 1999. For the year ended March 31, 1999 the overall interest-earning asset yield was 7.38% compared to 7.49% for the year ended March 31, 1998. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $0.57 million to $19.9 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 compared to $19.3 million during fiscal 1998. Interest paid on deposits increased by $1.3 million due to an increase of $54.1 million in average deposit balance which more than offset a decrease in the rate paid from 4.83% to 4.44%. Interest on Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased by $.86 million as average balances outstanding decreased by $7.2 million and the average rate paid on advances also decreased from 5.77% during fiscal 1998 to 5.30% during fiscal year 1999. Interest expense on Other long-term debt & other borrowings increased due primarily to the Company borrowing $4.16 million of long-term debt from an unaffiliated bank in August 1998. Proceeds from this borrowing was used by the Company to repurchase 302,100 shares of its own common stock. Fiscal 1998 borrowings consist primarily of short-term borrowings to meet liquidity needs. 11 The cost of all interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 5.08% for the year ended March 31, 1998 to 4.68% for the year ended March 31, 1999. 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, 1999, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $300,000 compared to $177,050 for the year ended March 31, 1998. In addition the Company acquired $760,000 of loan loss reserves as part its acquisitions of assets from NBD Bank, N.A. Net charge offs amounted to $327,000 during fiscal 1999 compared to $330,000 during fiscal 1998. Asset quality, as measured by non-performing loans to total loans, improved significantly for the year ended March 31, 1999 compared to the prior year. The ratios of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.25% at March 31, 1999 and .40% at March 31, 1998 respectively. The allowance for losses, as a ratio to total loans, was 0.84% at March 31, 1999 compared to .87% at March 31, 1998. At March 31, 1999 and 1998, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 330.81% and 216.58%, 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 non-performing 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 $939,000 to $3,031,000 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999. This represents an increase of 44.9% over the prior year. Service charges increased by $507,000 and profit on sale of loans, securities and real estate owned increased by $299,000. Commissions on the sale of investment and insurance products decreased by $17,000. Earnings from other sources were up by $150,000 during fiscal 1999. Other Expense. The Company's other expense increased by $2.22 million from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.2 million or 26%. Occupancy expenses increased $199,000, equipment expenses increased $155,000, computer service expenses increased $168,000, advertising expenses increased $58,000, postage and office supplies increased $158,000 and other expenses increased $311,000 from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999, respectively, due to an expansion of personnel to staff additional branch facilities to service additional deposit and loan accounts acquired from NBD Bank, N.A. Income Tax Provision. The Company's income tax provision increased by $128,000 from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999 primarily as a result of increased pretax earnings. The effective tax rate was 40.48% for fiscal 1999 compared to 40.72% for the prior year. 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 12 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 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. 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 1998. Provision for Loan Losses. 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 allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 216.58% and 46.31%, respectively. 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 fiscal 1997. 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. 13 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.

This compares to one non-performing asset at March 31, 1998 that had a balance in excess of $100,000. Non-accruing Loans. As of March 31, 1999, the Bank had $818,000 in book value of non-accruing loans compared to $911,000 as of March 31, 1998. For the year ended March 31, 1999, 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 $65,000. The amount that was included in interest income on such loans was $21,000 for the year ended March 31, 1999. Real Estate Owned. At March 31, 1999, the Bank's real estate acquired through foreclosure totaled $112,000. Other Loans of Concern. In addition to the non-performing assets set forth in the table above, as of March 31, 1999, there was an aggregate of $7.3 million of loans which management is closely monitoring for the borrowers' ability to comply with current repayment terms compared to $3.2 million at March 31, 1998. Management believes it has taken a conservative approach in evaluating under-performing credits. 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, 1999, 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 $18.4 million, representing a negative cumulative one-year gap ratio of 3.74% of total assets. The Company relies on certain assumptions, such as the amount and timing of loan prepayments, among others, in the 17 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, 1999 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, 1999 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.

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. 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 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, 1999 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 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +200 47,409 (5,390) -10% 9.81% - 68 +100 50,612 (2,186) - 4% 10.25% - 24 0 52,798 10.49% - 100 54,660 1,862 4% 10.65% 16 - 200 55,998 3,200 6% 10.70% 21 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 the Bank 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, 1999, the amount of the Bank's liquidity was $142.4 million, resulting in a liquidity ratio of 40.48%. 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. 19 The Bank principally uses its liquidity resources to meet ongoing commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and deposit withdrawals, to purchase securities, to fund existing and future loan commitments, to maintain liquidity, and to meet operating expenses. At March 31, 1999, the Bank had approximately $2.2 million of loan commitments and an additional $4.9 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 one year or less at March 31, 1999 totaled $117.9 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. 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, 1999, these assets accounted for 90.8% 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, 1999, the Bank had outstanding borrowings of $96.5 million from the FHLB and had the capacity to borrow up to a total of approximately $200 million. 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 the Notes 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 See the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of applicable pronouncements. 20 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, 1999 and 1998 and the consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 1999.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting and financial reporting policies of Permanent Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiary, Permanent Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), conform to generally accepted accounting principles and reporting practices followed by thrift holding companies. The more significant policies are described below. 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. The Company operates as a single business segment. 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, 1999. 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. As discussed below, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting For Derivative Investments," permitted a one time transfer of securities previously classified as held to maturity into the available for sale category. On October 1, 1998 the Company transferred mortgage-backed securities previously classified as held to maturity to the available for sale category at fair value. At the time of the transfer these securities had an amortized cost of $16,113,992 and a fair value of $16,324,314. 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. 27 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 of 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 uncollectable, 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 over 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. Amortization expense for the years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $602,682, $167,036 and $218,603, respectively. Goodwill of $9,357,000 and $453,000, net of accumulated amortization of $2,483,000 and $1,909,000, is included in Other Assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998, 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. 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. 28 New Accounting Pronouncements - In June 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments including derivative instruments embedded in financial instruments and for hedging. The Company adopted this statement on October 1, 1998 and, except for the reclassification of securities from the held-to-maturity to the available-for-sale category noted above, the adoption of this statement had no significant impact on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" became effective during the current fiscal year. The Company has determined that it operates as a single segment which is community banking. At March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Bank had assets of approximately $493.7 million and $437.7 million, or 100% and 99.7% of consolidated assets, respectively. Net income of the Bank for the three years ended March 31, 1999 was $3,074,000, $2,706,000 and $1,253,000 or 108%, 102% and 96% of consolidated net income for fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997. Net interest income at the Bank for each of the three years ended March 31, 1999 exceeded 98% of consolidated net interest income. Earnings per Share - In 1998 the Company adopted SFAS 128 "Earnings per Share" and has retroactively restated 1997 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, - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic average common shares 3,956,590 4,048,150 4,226,304 Dilutive effect of stock options 105,565 251,216 182,534 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diluted average common shares 4,062,155 4,299,366 4,408,838 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acquisitions - On June 26, 1998 the Company acquired deposits and certain assets of four branch banking locations from NBD Bank, N.A. in a purchase transaction. The operating results of the acquired branches have been consolidated since the acquisition date. As a result of the purchase, the Company acquired $79.1 million of deposits, $43.6 million of loans, $900,000 of office properties and equipment and received cash of approximately $26.9 million. The purchase created approximately $9.5 million of goodwill. On May 19, 1997 the Company acquired in a purchase transaction a branch facility which included $5.7 million of deposit liabilities, $838,000 of office properties and equipment and $30,000 of other assets. This transaction created approximately $294,000 of goodwill. Pro forma information is not presented since the transactions are not considered significant. Changes In Presentation - Certain items appearing in the 1998 and 1997 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation. 29 2.

For the years ended March 31, 1999 and 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 $65,013 and $73,277 respectively. The amounts included in interest income on such loans were $20,681 and $39,388 for the years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Bank originates commercial real estate loans. Such loans had a carrying value of approximately $32 million and $9 million at March 31, 1999 and 1998, 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, $3 million and $4 million are collateralized by multi-family residential property at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively; and $29 million and $5 million by hotel and other property at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Bank had commitments to make loans approximating $23,421,000 and $4,886,000 excluding undisbursed portions of loans in-process at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 32 The Bank originates both adjustable and fixed interest rate loans. The composition of these loans was as follows: Fixed Rate Adjustable Rate - -------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- Book Value Book Value - -------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- Term to March 31, March 31, Term to Rate March 31, March 31, Maturity 1999 1998 Adjustment 1999 1998 - --------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- 1mo.-1yr $ 30,171,000 $ 17,079,000 1mo.-1yr. $27,279,000 $20,329,000 1yr.-3yr. 18,322,000 12,125,000 1yr.-3yr. 4,978,000 3,533,000 3yr.-5yr. 65,390,000 30,023,000 3yr.-5yr. 7,272,000 5,487,000 5yr.-10yr. 46,433,000 28,317,000 5yr.-10yr. 37,219,000 38,578,000 10yr.-20yr. 78,742,000 68,512,000 10yr.-20yr. 1,006,000 1,817,000 Over 20 years 7,164,000 1,884,000 over 20 yrs 123,000 205,000 - -------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- $ 246,222,000 $ 157,940,000 $ 77,877,000 $69,949,000 - -------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- The adjustable rate loans have interest rate adjustment limitations and are generally indexed on a weekly average yield of U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year. Future market factors may affect the correlation of the interest rate adjustment with the rates the Bank pays on the short-term deposits that have been primarily utilized to fund these loans. Aggregate loans to officers and directors totaled $609,277 and $630,613 at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. For the years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 loans of $152,383 and $202,444 respectively, were disbursed to officers and directors and repayments of principal of $173,719 and $248,686 respectively, were received from officers and directors. The amount of loans serviced for others totaled approximately $36,327,537 and $32,468,000 at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Servicing loans for others generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow amounts, disbursing payments to investors and foreclosure processing. In connection with loans serviced for others, the Bank held borrower's escrow balances of approximately $228,391 and $233,216 at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Bank is obligated to repurchase certain loans sold to and serviced for others which become delinquent as defined by the various agreements. At March 31, 1999 and 1998, these obligations were limited to approximately $316,000 and $443,000 respectively. Loan servicing fee income for the years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $81,575, $84,274, and $100,824, respectively. There were no restructured loans in the Bank's loan portfolio as of March 31, 1999 and 1998. For the year ended March 31, 1997, gross interest income which would have been recorded had the Bank's modified loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $165,000. The amount included in interest income during 1997 on such loans was $151,000. An analysis of the allowance for loan losses is as follows: Years Ended March 31, - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beginning balance $1,973,410 $2,126,225 $2,237,804 Provision for losses charged to operations 300,000 177,050 113,256 Charge-offs (506,753) (403,896) (370,519) Recoveries 179,751 74,031 145,684 Acquired in branch acquisition 760,000 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ending balance $2,706,408 $1,973,410 $2,126,225 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 33 The recorded investment in loans considered impaired at March 31, 1999 and 1998 was $362,920 and $116,778 for which no specific valuation reserve has been established. For the year ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 the average recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $243,116 and $1,215,012, respectively. Cash received for interest on impaired loans was $17,039 and $108,989 for the years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, 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 $169 million and $154 million as of March 31, 1999, and 1998, 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 $4.9 million at March 31, 1999 and $5.7 million at March 31,1998. At March 31, 1999 and 1998 there were no loans exceeding this limitation. 4.

The terms of these advances generally allow the FHLB to convert the fixed rate advance to a LIBOR based rate which will adjust quarterly. Once the initial conversion date is reached, the FHLB may periodically exercise its option to convert the advance, generally quarterly. If the FHLB elects to convert the advance, the Company has the option to repay the advance without penalty. The FHLB did not convert any advances in 1999. 35 The Bank has pledged mortgage loans and FHLB stock as collateral on these advances. The Bank may receive advances from the FHLB up to 50% of the Bank's adjusted assets which was approximately $200 million at March 31, 1999. 7. OTHER LONG-TERM DEBT In August 1998 the Company borrowed $4,153,875 from an unaffiliated bank and utilized the funds to repurchase 302,100 shares of its common stock. This debt is secured by the stock of the Bank. The rate on the note is determined quarterly and is, at the Company's option, the prime rate or LIBOR plus 180 basis points (1.80%). At March 31, 1999 the rate was 6.80% Interest on the debt is payable quarterly. Annual principal payments of $500,000 commence February 29, 2000 with a final payment of any outstanding balance due on August 15, 2003. Principal may be repaid at any time without penalty and in November 1998 the Company repaid $1,153,875. The loan agreement requires that the Company maintain defined capital ratios which generally are those required by regulatory agencies. The Company is also required to earn a minimum return on average assets of .50% and maintain defined asset quality ratios. At March 31, 1999 the Company is in compliance with the loan agreement. 8. OTHER BORROWED FUNDS The Company had no other borrowed funds at March 31, 1999 or March 31, 1998. An analysis of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is as follows: Years Ended March 31, - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Highest month-end balance $ 0 $444,636 $3,955,494 Average balance 10,417 103,260 1,484,957 Weighted average interest rate at end of period 5.70% Weighted average interest rate during the period 5.33% 5.10% 4.80% 9.

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. 37 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 judgments by the regulators. The Bank's primary regulator is the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). 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. As of March 31, 1999 and 1998, the most recent notification from the OTS categorizes the Bank as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no events or conditions since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. The following presents the Bank's minimum and "well-capitalized" regulatory capital levels. As of March 31, 1999 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual Capital Required Capital - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OTS Capital adequacy Tangible Capital $32,803,000 6.76% $ 7,278,000 1.50% Core Capital 32,803,000 6.76 19,410,000 4.00 Risk-based Capital 34,347,000 12.26 22,410,000 8.00 FDICIA regulations to be classified well-capitalized Tier 1 leverage capital 32,803,000 6.76 24,263,000 5.00 Tier 1 risk-based capital 32,803,000 11.71 16,808,000 6.00 Total risk-based capital 34,347,000 12.26 28,015,000 10.00 As of March 31, 1998 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual Capital Required Capital - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OTS capital adequacy Tangible Capital $38,178,000 8.76% $ 6,537,000 1.50% Core capital 38,178,000 8.76 17,440,000 4.00 Risk-based capital 40,097,000 21.05 15,239,000 8.00 FDICIA regulations to be classified well-capitalized Tier 1 leverage capital 38,178,000 8.76 21,800,000 5.00 Tier 1 risk-based capital 38,178,000 20.04 11,429,000 6.00 Total risk-based capital 40,097,000 21.05 19,049,000 10.00 38 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. Preferred Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value which remains unissued at March 31, 1999. 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 restrictions 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 recapitulation 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 for the year ended March 31, 1997. There was no pension expense in 1999 and 1998. 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 $476,100 and $714,150 at March 31, 1999 and 1998, 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 $594,925, $639,317 and $479,046 during 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. During fiscal years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, 45,607 shares, 47,688 shares and 49,728 shares were earned by participants. At March 31, 1999, 84,736 shares with a fair value of approximately $911,000 were held in suspense by the ESOP. These shares are not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of computing earnings per share. 39 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, 1999, and 1998 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 $139,200, $125,242 and $178,070 during the fiscal years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. Termination of employees resulted in 2,866 shares, 2,856 shares 2,428 shares being canceled during the fiscal years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 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. The following is an analysis of stock option activity for each of the three years in the period ending March 31, 1999 and the stock options outstanding at the end of the respective years: Weighted Average Shares Price - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding April 1, 1996 449,760 $ 5.26 Granted 9,522 8.13 Exercised (11,658) 5.46 Forfeited or expired (5,952) 5.00 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding March 31, 1997 441,672 5.32 Exercised (36,112) 5.07 Forfeited or expired (3,572) 5.00 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding March 31, 1998 401,988 5.34 Granted 7,000 11.25 Exercised (44,454) 5.00 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at March 31, 1999 364,534 5.49 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The number of vested shares exercisable at March 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 were: 344,773, 376,465 and 296,272, respectively and had a weighted average exercise price of $5.28, $5.16 and $5.09, respectively. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding at March 31, 1999 and 1998 was 5.3 years and 6.3 years, respectively. Exercise prices for options outstanding at March 31, 1999 ranged from $5.00 to $11.25. 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: 40 Year Ended March 31, - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income : As reported $2,859,885 $2,645,167 $1,303,544 Proforma 2,843,474 2,631,973 1,293,311 Basic : Net income per share: As reported $ 0.72 $ 0.65 $ 0.31 Proforma 0.72 0.65 0.31 Diluted Net income per share: As reported $ 0.70 $ 0.62 $ 0.30 Proforma 0.70 0.61 0.29 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 2.64%, risk-free interest rates of 5.23% to 6.74%, expected volatility of 18% to 30% 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 $22,271, $21,450 and $19,203 during the fiscal years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Directors Deferred Compensation Plan - The Bank has entered into deferred compensation agreements with certain directors. Benefits under these agreements are paid over a predetermined 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. Cash values associated with these policies in the amount of $2,926,828 at March 31, 1999 and $1,625,253 are included in Other Assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. 13. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Company's other comprehensive income included the following components: Fiscal Year Ended March 31, - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities ($ 80,566) $1,841,590 ($1,525,976) Less: Adjustment for net securities gains (losses) realized in net income, net of tax 138,721 25,752 (33,756) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other comprehensive income (loss) ($219,287) $1,815,838 ($1,492,220) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Substantially all of other comprehensive income is attributable to the Bank as the amount of available for sale securities at the parent company is immaterial. 41 14. COMMITMENTS Lease commitments - The Company has future minimum rental commitments for noncancelable operating leases as follows: Fiscal year ended March 31: --------------------------- 2000 $306,904 2001 296,410 2002 259,382 2003 132,982 2004 112,976 Rental expense for the years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $261,022, $79,036 and $70,265, respectively. Rental income from noncancelable subleases for the years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $137,063, $119,306 and $103,306, 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. 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. One agreement is in effect until March 31, 2000. Under the terms of the other agreement, the Company may be obligated under terms specified in the agreement to continue the officer's salary for a period of three years.

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. 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. 45 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 fair values of commitments to extend credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar maturities and interest rates. The fair value estimates presented herein are based on information available to management as of March 31, 1999 and 1998. 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. 46 BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS EXECUTIVE OFFICERS Donald P.
