NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

    German American  Bancorp  operates  primarily in the banking  industry.  The
accounting  and  reporting   policies  of  German   American   Bancorp  and  its
subsidiaries  conform to generally accepted accounting  principles and reporting
practices  followed by the banking industry.  The more significant  policies are
described below. The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiaries after elimination of all material  intercompany
accounts and transactions.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform with current classifications. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures.
Actual  results  could differ from those  estimates.  Estimates  susceptible  to
change in the near term include the allowance for loan losses,  impaired  loans,
and the fair value of financial instruments.

    The Company acquired 1ST BANCORP in 1999 in a pooling of interests (see Note
18). Prior to 1999, 1ST BANCORP's  financial  statements were prepared on a June
30 fiscal  year-end.  The Company's  calendar  period  financial  statements for
periods  prior to 1999 have been  restated to include 1ST BANCORP  fiscal period
financial  statements (i.e. the Company's  previously reported December 31, 1998
balances were combined with 1ST BANCORP June 30, 1998 balances).  1ST BANCORP is
combined with the Company on a calendar basis for all 1999 periods.  As a result
of 1ST  BANCORP's  prior  fiscal  reporting,  the 1999  statement of cash flows,
statement  of changes in  shareholder's  equity,  and certain  notes  include an
"adjustment  to conform  fiscal years" to adjust from fiscal to calendar  period
reporting.

Securities

    Securities classified as available-for-sale  are securities that the Company
intends to hold for an  indefinite  period of time,  but not  necessarily  until
maturity.  These  include  securities  that  management  may  use as part of its
asset/liability strategy, or that may be sold in response to changes in interest
rates,  changes in  prepayment  risk,  or similar  reasons.  Securities  held as
available-for-sale  are reported at market value with unrealized gains or losses
included as a separate component of equity, net of tax. Securities classified as
held-to-maturity  are  securities  that the  Company  has both the  ability  and
positive intent to hold to

maturity.  Securities  held-to-maturity  are carried at amortized cost.  Premium
amortization  is deducted  from,  and discount  accretion is added to,  interest
income using the level yield method.  The cost of securities sold is computed on
the identified securities method. Restricted stock, such as stock in the Federal
Home Loan Bank (FHLB), is carried at cost.

Loans

    Interest  is  accrued  over the  term of the  loans  based on the  principal
balance  outstanding.  Loans are  placed on  nonaccrual  status  when  scheduled
principal or interest  payments are past due 90 days or more, unless the loan is
well secured and in the process of collection.  The Company defers loan fees and
certain  direct loan  origination  costs.  Deferred  amounts are reported in the
balance sheet as part of loans and are recognized  into interest income over the
term of the loan based on the level yield method.

    The carrying  values of impaired loans (as explained below in "Allowance for
Loan  Losses")  are  periodically  adjusted to reflect  cash  payments,  revised
estimates of future cash flows,  and  increases in the present value of expected
cash  flows due to the  passage of time.  Cash  payments  representing  interest
income are reported as such.  Other cash  payments are reported as reductions in
carrying  value,  while  increases or  decreases  due to changes in estimates of
future  payments  and due to the passage of time are  reported as  increases  or
decreases to bad debt expense.

    Loans  held for sale are  carried  at the  lower of cost or fair  value,  in
aggregate.

Allowance for Loan Losses

    The  allowance  for loan losses is a valuation  allowance,  increased by the
provision  for  loan  losses  and  decreased  by  charge-offs  less  recoveries.
Management  estimates the allowance for loan losses  required based on past loan
loss experience,  known and inherent risks in the portfolio,  information  about
specific  borrower   situations  and  estimated   collateral  values,   economic
conditions,  and other  factors.  Allocations  of the  allowance may be made for
specific  loans,  but the entire  allowance is available  for any loan that,  in
management's judgment, should be charged off.

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

    Loan  impairment is reported when full repayment under the terms of the loan
is not expected.  If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated
so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated  future cash
flows using the loan's  existing  rate,  or at the fair value of  collateral  if
repayment is expected solely from the collateral.  Commercial,  agricultural and
poultry  loans  are  evaluated  individually  for  impairment.  Smaller  balance
homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total. Such loans include real
estate loans secured by one-to-four  family  residences and loans to individuals
for household,  family and other personal  expenditures.  Individually evaluated
loans on nonaccrual  are  generally  considered  impaired.  Impaired  loans,  or
portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

Premises, Furniture, and Equipment

    Premises,  Furniture  and  Equipment  are  stated at cost  less  accumulated
depreciation.   Premises  and  related   components   are   depreciated  on  the
straight-line  method with useful lives  ranging from 10 to 40 years.  Furniture
and equipment are primarily  depreciated using straight-line methods with useful
lives ranging from 3 to 12 years.  These assets are reviewed for impairment when
events indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Other Real Estate

    Other  Real  Estate  is  carried  at the lower of cost or fair  value,  less
estimated  selling  costs.  Expenses  incurred in carrying Other Real Estate are
charged to operations as incurred.

Intangible Assets

    Intangible  Assets are comprised of core deposit  intangibles ($113 and $173
at December 31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively) and goodwill ($2,048 and $1,668 at
December  31,  1999  and  1998,  respectively).  Core  deposit  intangibles  are
amortized on an accelerated method over ten years and goodwill is amortized on a
straight-line  basis over twelve to fifteen years. Core Deposit  Intangibles and
Goodwill are assessed for impairment based on estimated undiscounted cash flows,
and written down if necessary.

Servicing Rights

    Servicing rights are recognized and included with other assets for purchased
rights and for the allocated value of retained  servicing  rights on loans sold.
Servicing  rights  are  expensed  in  proportion  to,  and over the  period  of,
estimated net  servicing  revenues.  Impairment  is evaluated  based on the fair
value  of the  rights,  using  groupings  of the  underlying  loans  as to type,
interest rates and age. Fair value is determined  based upon  discontinued  cash
flows using market based assumptions.

Stock Compensation

    Expense for employee  compensation under stock option plans is reported only
if options are granted below market price at grant date.  Pro forma  disclosures
of net income and earnings per share are provided as if the fair value method of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 was used for stock-based compensation.

Comprehensive Income

    Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive  income.
Other  comprehensive  income includes  unrealized gains and losses on securities
available for sale, which are also recognized as a separate component of equity.

Income Taxes

    Deferred tax  liabilities  and assets are  determined  at each balance sheet
date and are the result of differences in the financial  statement and tax bases
of assets and  liabilities.  Income tax expense is the amount due on the current
year tax returns plus or minus the change in deferred taxes.

Earnings Per Share

    Basic  earnings  per share is based on net income  divided  by the  weighted
average number of shares  outstanding  during the period.  Diluted  earnings per
share shows the potential  dilutive effect of additional  common shares issuable
under stock options.

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Cash Flow Reporting

    The Company reports net cash flows for customer loan  transactions,  deposit
transactions and deposits made with other financial institutions.  Cash and cash
equivalents  are  defined  to include  cash on hand,  demand  deposits  in other
institutions and Federal Funds Sold.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

    Fair values of financial  instruments  are estimated  using relevant  market
information  and other  assumptions,  as more fully  disclosed  in Note 19. Fair
value  estimates  involve  uncertainties  and  matters of  significant  judgment
regarding  interest  rates,  credit  risk,   prepayments,   and  other  factors,
especially  in the absence of broad  markets for  particular  items.  Changes in
assumptions or in market  conditions could  significantly  affect the estimates.
The fair  value  estimates  of  existing  on- and  off-balance  sheet  financial
instruments  do not include the value of  anticipated  future  business,  or the
values of assets and liabilities not considered financial instruments.

New Accounting Pronouncements

    Beginning  January  1,  2001 a new  accounting  standard  will  require  all
derivatives to be recorded at fair value.  Unless designated as hedges,  changes
in these  fair  values  will be  recorded  in the income  statement.  Fair value
changes  involving  hedges will  generally be recorded by  offsetting  gains and
losses on the hedge and on the hedged item, even if the fair value of the hedged
item is not otherwise  recorded.  Adoption of this pronouncement is not expected
to have a material  effect on the Company's  financial  results,  but the effect
will depend on derivative holdings when this standard is adopted.

NOTE 9 - Stockholders' Equity

    The  Company  and  affiliate   Banks  are  subject  to  regulatory   capital
requirements   administered  by  federal  banking  agencies.   Capital  adequacy
guidelines  and  prompt  corrective  action  regulations  involve   quantitative
measures of assets, liabilities,  and certain off-balance sheet items calculated
under regulatory accounting  practices.  Capital amounts and classifications are
also subject to  qualitative  judgments by  regulators  about  components,  risk
weightings,  and other factors, and the regulators can lower  classifications in
certain  cases.  Failure  to meet  various  capital  requirements  can  initiate
regulatory  action  that could have a direct  material  effect on the  financial
statements.

    The prompt  corrective  action  regulations  provide  five  classifications,
including    well-capitalized,    adequately   capitalized,    undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized,  although these
terms are not used to  represent  overall  financial  condition.  If  adequately

undercapitalized,  capital  distributions  are  limited,  as is asset growth and
expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required.

   Capital  ratios  for  First  State  Bank  are  materially   consistent   with
consolidated  capital  ratios.  The Company and all affiliate  Banks at year-end
1999 and 1998 were  categorized  as well  capitalized.  Regulations  require the
maintenance of certain  capital levels at each affiliate bank, and may limit the
dividends  payable by the affiliates to the holding  company,  or by the holding
company to its  shareholders.  At  December  31,  1999 the  affiliates  had $3.5
million in retained  earnings  available  for  dividends  to the parent  company
without prior regulatory approval.

Stock Options

    The Company maintains a Stock Option Plan and has reserved 185,456 shares of
Common Stock (as adjusted for subsequent  stock splits and dividends and subject
to further  customary  anti-dilution  adjustments)  for the purpose of grants of
options  to  officers  and  other  employees  of  the  Company.  Options  may be
designated as "incentive stock options" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
or as  nonqualified  options.  While  the date  after  which  options  are first
exercisable is determined by the Stock Option Committee of the Company, no stock
option may be exercised  after ten years from the date of grant (twenty years in
the case of  nonqualified  stock  options).  The exercise price of stock options
granted  pursuant to the Plan must be no less than the fair market  value of the
Common Stock on the date of the grant.

    The Plan authorizes an optionee to pay the exercise price of options in cash
or in common  shares of the  Company or in some  combination  of cash and common
shares.  An optionee may tender  already-owned  common  shares to the Company in
exercise of an option.  In this  instance,  the Company is  obligated to use its
best efforts to issue to such  optionee a  replacement  option for the number of
shares  tendered,  as  follows:  (a) of the same  type as the  option  exercised
(either an incentive stock option or a non-qualified  option); (b) with the same
expiration  date;  and, (c) priced at the fair market value of the stock on that
date.  Replacement  options may not be exercised until one year from the date of
grant.

Options exercisable at year-end are as follows:
1999...............................................................       91,698               $20.68


    Financial  Accounting  Standard No. 123 requires pro forma  disclosures  for
companies  that do not adopt its fair value  accounting  method for  stock-based
employee compensation. Accordingly, the following pro forma information presents
net income and earnings per share had the Standard's fair value method been used
to measure  compensation  cost for stock option plans. No compensation  cost was
recognized for stock options in any of the years presented. In future years, the
pro forma  effect of not  applying  this  standard  may  increase as  additional
options are  granted.  At year-end  1999,  options  outstanding  have a weighted
average  remaining life of 13.72 years,  with exercise prices ranging from $8.49
to $28.62.



                                                                            1999        1998          1997

Pro forma Earnings Per Share and Diluted Earnings per Share........        $0.96       $0.87         $0.78


     For options granted during 1999, 1998 and 1997, the  weighted-average  fair
values at grant date are $1.74, $9.29 and $7.36,

respectively.  The fair value of options  granted during 1999, 1998 and 1997 was
estimated using the following weighted-average  information:  risk-free interest
rate of 4.75%,  5.11% and  5.58%,  expected  life of 1.0,  9.7,  and 3.6  years,
expected  volatility of stock price of .22, .32 and .18, and expected  dividends
of 2.52%, 1.64% and 2.06% per year.

Stock Repurchase Plan

    On July 29,  1999  German  American  Bancorp  announced  that  its  Board of
Directors  approved  a  stock  repurchase  program  for  up to  446,250  of  the
outstanding  Common Shares of the Company,  representing  nearly five percent of
then  outstanding  shares.  Shares were  purchased from time to time in the open
market  and in  large  block  privately  negotiated  transactions.  The  Company
commenced  bidding for shares on August 3, 1999 and concluded bids and purchases
(even though not all shares  authorized under the program had been  repurchased)
on December 14, 1999.  The Company  repurchased  206,558  shares of common stock
during 1999 in conjunction with the Plan at prices ranging from $17.02 to $22.02
per share. Shares have been adjusted for the December 1999 stock dividend.

Stock Purchase Plan

    The Company  maintains an Employee  Stock  Purchase  Plan whereby  full-time
employees  can purchase the Company's  common stock at a discount.  The purchase
price of the  shares  under  this plan is 85% of the fair  market  value of such
stock at the  beginning or end of the  offering  period,  whichever is less.  No
shares have been issued under this plan to date.

NOTE 10 - Employee Benefit Plans

     The Company and all its banking affiliates provide a contributory  trusteed
401(k) deferred compensation and profit sharing plan, which covers substantially
all  full-time  employees.   The  companies  agree  to  match  certain  employee
contributions  under the  401(k)  portion  of the  plan,  while  profit  sharing
contributions are discretionary and are subject to determination by the Board of
Directors.  The Doty Insurance  Agency,  Inc. provides a similar 401(k) deferred
compensation  plan which covers full-time  employees,  except there is no profit
sharing component in the Doty plan.  Employees of 1ST BANCORP joined the banking
affiliate plan in January 1999,  employees of Citizens State and FSB Corporation
in June 1998,  and  employees of Peoples in April 1997.  Contributions  to these
plans were $779, 609, and $549 for 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

    Prior to their  merger  with the  Company,  Peoples  had a  non-contributory
defined benefit pension plan. The Projected  Benefit  Obligation under this plan
was suspended at April 30, 1997. The plan was terminated in 1998 resulting in an
$83 settlement gain, net of excise tax.

    1ST BANCORP and Citizens  State Bank had  non-contributory  defined  benefit
pension plans with benefits based on years of service and compensation  prior to
retirement.  The benefits  under the Citizens  State Bank plan were suspended at
August 1, 1998.  The  benefits  under the 1ST  BANCORP  plan were  suspended  at
December  31,  1998.  During  1999,  a loss of $147 was  recorded  on a  partial
settlement of the 1ST BANCORP plan. As of December 31, 1999,  the Citizens State
Bank plan was merged into the 1ST BANCORP plan.

    Accumulated  plan benefit  information for the Company's plan as of December
31, 1999 and 1998 is as follows:

The Company has $274 of federal tax net operating loss carryforwards expiring in
the following amounts:

         Year       Amount                           Year         Amount
         ---------------------------------------------------------------

         2003         105

    Under the Internal Revenue Code, through 1996 First Federal Bank was allowed
a special  bad debt  deduction  related to  additions  to tax bad debt  reserves
established for the purpose of absorbing losses. Subject to certain limitations,
First Federal Bank was permitted to deduct from taxable  income an allowance for
bad debts based on a percentage  of taxable  income  before such  deductions  or
actual  loss  experience.  First  Federal  Bank  generally  computed  its annual
addition to its bad debt reserves using the percentage of taxable income method;
however, due to certain limitations in 1996, First Federal Bank was only allowed
a deduction based on actual loss experience.

    Under legislation  enacted in 1996,  beginning in fiscal 1997, First Federal
Bank was no longer  allowed a special bad debt  deduction  using a percentage of
taxable income method.  Also, beginning in 1997, First Federal Bank was required
to recapture  its excess bad debt reserve over its 1987 base year reserve over a
six-year period.  The amount has been provided in First American Bank's deferred
tax liability.

    Retained earnings at December 31, 1999,  includes  approximately  $2,300 for
which no  provision  for  federal  income  taxes  has  been  made.  This  amount
represents allocations of income for allowable bad debt deductions. Reduction of
amounts so  allocated  for  purposes  other than tax bad debt losses will create
taxable  income which will be subject to the then current  corporate  income tax
rate. It is not contemplated  that amounts allocated to bad debt deductions will
be used in any manner to create taxable income.  The unrecorded  deferred income
tax liability on the above amount at December 31, 1999 was approximately $782.

NOTE 13 - Lease Commitments

    The total  rental  expense for all leases for the years ended  December  31,
1999, 1998, and 1997 was $175, $151, and $312,  respectively,  including amounts
paid under short-term cancelable leases.

    At  December  31,  1999,  the  German  American  Bank and First  State  Bank
subleased space for three branch-banking facilities from a company controlled by
a director and principal  shareholder  of the Company.  The subleases  expire in
2000,  2001 and 2008 with various  renewal options  provided.  Aggregate  annual
rental payments to this Director's company totaled $58 for 1999. Exercise of the
Bank's  sublease  renewal  options is  contingent  upon the  Director's  company
renewing its primary leases.

NOTE 14 - Commitments and Off-balance Sheet Items

    In the  normal  course  of  business,  there  are  various  commitments  and
contingent liabilities,  such as commitments to extend credit and commitments to
sell loans, which are not reflected in the accompanying  consolidated  financial
statements. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance
by the other party to the financial  instruments  for  commitments to make loans
and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual  amount of those
instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policy to make  commitments as it
uses for on-balance sheet items.

    The  Company's  exposure  to credit  risk for  commitments  to sell loans is
dependent upon the ability of the  counter-party to purchase the loans.  This is
generally assured by the use of government sponsored entity counterparts.  These
commitments  are subject to market risk resulting from  fluctuations in interest
rates.

Commitments and contingent liabilities are summarized as follows, at
December 31,

                                                1999               1998

       Credit Card Lines....................   8,813              6,030
       Commercial Operating Lines...........  47,761             29,554
       Residential Mortgages................   8,357             18,143
                                               -----             ------
           Total Commitments to Fund Loans.. $77,193            $69,509
                                             =======            =======

    Commitments to Sell Loans...............  $3,304             $5,255

    Standby Letters of Credit...............  $1,928             $1,690


    Since many  commitments  to make loans  expire  without  being  used,  these
amounts  do  not  necessarily  represent  future  cash  commitments.  Collateral
obtained upon exercise of the commitment is determined using management's credit
evaluation  of the borrower,  and may include  accounts  receivable,  inventory,
property, land and other items. The approximate duration of these commitments is
generally one year or less.

    The Company  self-insures  employee  health benefits for the majority of its
affiliate  banks.  Stop loss  insurance  covers annual losses  exceeding $70 per
covered individual and approximately $615 in the aggregate.  Management's policy
is to establish a reserve for claims not submitted by a charge to earnings based
on prior experience. Charges to earnings were $604, $526 and $517 for 1999, 1998
and 1997, respectively.

    At  December  31,  1999 and 1998,  respectively,  the  affiliate  banks were
required to have $4,755 and $3,341 on deposit  with the Federal  Reserve,  or as
cash on hand. These reserves do not earn interest.

   The above data should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Statements
of Cash Flows. On the date of merger with Citizens State,  investment securities
with an  amortized  cost of $8.0  million  and  estimated  market  value of $8.1
million were  reclassified from  Held-to-Maturity  to  Available-for-Sale.  This
action was taken as a result of the business combination and in order to conform
Citizens State's  investment  portfolio to the Company's  liquidity and interest
rate risk policies. See also Note 18 regarding a purchase acquisition in 1999.

NOTE 16 - Segment Information

    The Company's  operations  include two primary segments:  retail banking and
mortgage banking.  The retail banking segment involves  attracting deposits from
the  general  public  and using such funds to  originate  consumer,  commercial,
commercial real estate, and single-family  residential mortgage loans, primarily
in the affiliate bank's local markets. The mortgage banking segment involves the
origination and purchase of single-family  residential  mortgage loans; the sale
of such loans in the secondary  market;  and the servicing of mortgage loans for
investors.

    The retail segment is comprised of community  banks with 25 banking  offices
in Southwestern  Indiana.  Net interest income from loans and investments funded
by  deposits  and  borrowings  are the primary  revenues  of the five  affiliate
community  banks  comprising the retail banking  segment.  The mortgage  banking
segment operates as a division of First American Bank.  Primary revenues for the
mortgage  banking segment are net interest income from a residential real estate
loan portfolio funded primarily by wholesale  sources.  Other revenues are gains
on sales of loans and  capitalization  of mortgage  servicing  rights (MSR), and
loan servicing income.

    The  following  segment  financial  information  has been  derived  from the
internal  financial  statements of German  American  Bancorp,  which are used by
management to monitor and manage the financial  performance of the Company.  The
accounting  policies of the two segments are the same as those  described in the
summary of significant  accounting policies. The evaluation process for segments
does not  include  holding  company  income and  expense.  Holding  company  and
non-banking  subsidiaries  amounts are the primary  differences  between segment
amounts and  consolidated  totals,  and are reflected in the Other column below,
along with minor amounts to eliminate transactions between segments.

   The financial  results of the mortgage  banking  operation  were not reported
separately  from  retail  banking  operations  prior to the  acquisition  of 1ST
BANCORP in 1999.  In addition,  the mortgage  banking  segment's  loans held for
portfolio were not separately identified in the computer subsidiary ledger prior
to the  acquisition  of 1ST  BANCORP.  Therefore,  segment  reporting  for prior
periods is not practical.

<FN>
Certain of the above entities have had their name changed and/or have been merged into other subsidiaries of the Corporation.

1 Prior period results do not include the effect of the mergers,  as restatement would not have resulted in a material change
in overall financial results.

2 This merger was accounted for as a purchase, with assets acquired and liabilities assumed totaling $412, including goodwill
of $345. The Company issued  approximately 8,400 shares of common stock and approximately $26 in cash for all the outstanding
shares of the  corporate  owner of Smith & Bell.  Reported  operating  results for periods  prior to the merger have not been
restated.

3 Adjusted for all subsequent stock dividends and splits.
</FN>



     Prior to 1999, 1ST BANCORP's  financial  statements were prepared on a June
30  fiscal  year-end.  As a result  of  changing  fiscal  years  from June 30 to
December 31, retained  earnings have been reduced by $72 attributable to the 1ST
BANCORP net loss for the six months ended December 31, 1998.  Retained  earnings
were reduced an additional  $148 for cash  dividends  paid by 1ST BANCORP during
the same period.  Revenues and expenses for the six-month period totaled $10,679
and $10,751, respectively.  Earnings during the six-month period were negatively
impacted  by merger  related  expenses  including  professional  fees;  health &
pension  benefits;  deferred  compensation  plans; and other  compensation.  1ST
BANCORP  also  increased  loan  loss  provision  and  amortization  of  mortgage
servicing rights,  due to conditions during the period.  Also as a result of the
change in fiscal years,  common stock and surplus were  increased by $572 due to
the exercise of stock options and issuance of shares for 1ST BANCORP's  employee
stock purchase plan and dividend reinvestment plan.

The  following  is a  reconciliation  of the  separate and combined net interest
income and net income of German  American  Bancorp  and 1ST  BANCORP for periods
prior to the merger:

NOTE 19 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments

    The  estimated  fair  values  of the  Company's  financial  instruments  are
provided in the table below. Not all of the Company's assets and liabilities are
considered financial  instruments,  and therefore are not included in the table.
Because no active  market  exists  for a  significant  portion of the  Company's
financial instruments,  fair value estimates were based on subjective judgments,
and therefore cannot be determined with precision.



                                                                    DECEMBER 31, 1999                 DECEMBER 31, 1998

Unrecognized Financial Instruments:

    Standby Letters of Credit...............................         ---              ---               ---            ---


     The  carrying  amounts  of cash,  short-term  investments,  FHLB and  other
restricted stock, and accrued interest  receivable are a reasonable  estimate of
their fair  values.  The fair values of  securities  are based on quoted  market
prices or dealer  quotes,  if  available,  or by using quoted  market prices for
similar  instruments.  The fair value of loans held for sale are estimated using
commitment prices or market quotes on similar loans. The fair value of loans are
estimated  by  discounting  future cash flows  using the current  rates at which
similar loans would be made for the average remaining maturities. The fair value
of  demand  deposits,  savings  accounts,  money  market  deposits,   short-term
borrowings and accrued  interest  payable is the amount payable on demand at the
reporting  date.  The fair value of  fixed-maturity  time deposits and long-term
borrowings are estimated using the rates currently  offered on these instruments
for  similar  remaining  maturities.  Commitments  to extend  credit and standby
letters of credit are  generally  short-term  or variable rate with minimal fees
charged.  These instruments have no carrying value,  which is also assumed to be
their fair value.

36     Independent Auditors' Report
       Dollars in thousands
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Board of Directors and Shareholders
German American Bancorp
Jasper, Indiana

    We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of German
American Bancorp as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related  consolidated
statements of income,  changes in shareholders'  equity, and cash flows for each
of the three  years in the period  ended  December  31,  1999.  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.

    The  consolidated  balance  sheet  as  of  December  31,  1998  and  related
consolidated  statements of income,  changes in shareholders'  equity,  and cash
flows for the years  ended  December  31,  1998 and 1997 have been  restated  to
reflect the 1ST BANCORP and CSB Bancorp  poolings of interests,  as described in
Note 18. We did not audit the separate 1998 and 1997 financial statements of 1ST
BANCORP or the separate 1997 financial statements of CSB Bancorp as reflected in
the poolings of interests,  which statements reflect (in thousands) total assets
of $260,149 and total liabilities of $236,294 for 1998, and net income of $1,911
and $1,131 for 1998 and 1997.  Those  statements  were audited by other auditors
whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion,  insofar as it relates
to the amounts  included for 1ST BANCORP for 1998 and 1997,  and for CSB Bancorp
for 1997, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

    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,  based on our audits and the reports of other auditors,  the
consolidated  financial  statements  referred to above  present  fairly,  in all
material  respects,  the  financial  position of German  American  Bancorp as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended  December 31, 1999 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
