ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. As previously reported in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed March 6, 1997, which is hereby amended, German American Bancorp (the "Registrant") on March 4, 1997, completed its acquisition by merger (the "Merger") of Peoples Bancorp of Washington, an Indiana corporation ("Peoples") and thereby acquired its banking subsidiary, The Peoples National Bank and Trust Company of Washington ("Peoples Bank"), headquartered in Washington, Indiana. In connection with the Merger, the Registrant issued approximately 615,417 shares of its common stock to the former shareholders of Peoples. In connection with the Merger, the Registrant caused its subsidiary, The Union Bank, Loogootee, Indiana, to merge with and into Peoples Bank. Peoples Bank will continue its banking business and that of The Union Bank as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. The amount of the Merger consideration was determined by arms- length negotiations between the Registrant and Peoples. Peoples reported net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 of $829,000, and reported total assets of $91,937,000 and total shareholders' equity of $9,452,000 at December 31, 1996. ITEM 7.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Peoples Bancorp of Washington ("Bancorp") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Peoples National Bank and Trust Company ("Bank") and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Peoples Investment Center (PIC). Upon consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Bank is engaged in the business of commercial and retail banking and trust services, with operations conducted through its main office and 3 branches located in Daviess County, Indiana. The majority of the Bancorp s income is derived from commercial and retail business lending activities and investments. Although the overall loan portfolio is diversified, the repayment of existing borrower obligations is highly dependent on the economy of Daviess County and on the agricultural industry. The majority of the Bancorp's loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, real property and consumer assets. PIC receives commission income from the sale of non- deposit investment products. Use of Estimates: Management must make estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements that affect the amounts reported therein and the disclosures provided. These estimates and assumptions may change in the future and future results could differ. Estimates that are more susceptible to change in the near term include the allowance for loan losses and fair values of certain securities. Securities: The Bancorp classifies securities into held to maturity and available for sale categories. Held to maturity securities are those which the Bancorp has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, and are reported at amortized cost. Available for sale securities are those which the Bancorp may decide to sell if needed for liquidity, asset-liability management, or other reasons. Available for sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included as a separate component of equity, net of tax. Realized gains or losses are determined based on the amortized cost of the specific security sold. Interest and dividend income, adjusted by amortization of purchase premium or discount, is included in earnings. Loans: Interest on real estate, commercial and consumer loans is accrued over the term of the loans based on the principal outstanding. The recognition of interest income is discontinued when, in management's judgment, the interest will not be collectible in the normal course of business. The Bancorp defers loan fees net of certain direct loan origination costs. The net amount deferred is reported in the balance sheet as part of loans and is recognized into interest income over the term of the loan using a method which approximates a level yield. (Continued) 10 PEOPLES BANCORP OF WASHINGTON NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Allowance for Loan Losses: The balance in the allowance and the amount of the annual provision charged to expense are judgmentally determined based upon a number of factors. Estimating the risk of loss and the amount of loss on any loan is necessarily subjective. Accordingly, the allowance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover losses that are currently anticipated based on past loss experience, general economic conditions, information about specific borrower situations, including their financial position and collateral values, and other factors and estimates which are subject to change over time. While management may periodically allocate portions of the allowance for specific problem loan situations, including impaired loans discussed below, the whole allowance is available for any loan losses that occur. Increases to the allowance are recorded by a provision for possible loan losses charged to expense. A loan is charged off by management as a loss when deemed uncollectible, although collection efforts continue and future recoveries may occur. Loans are considered impaired if full principal or interest payments are not anticipated. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans. The carrying value of impaired loans is 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 and other cash payments are reported as reductions in carrying value. Increases or decreases in carrying value due to changes in estimates of future payments or the passage of time are reported as reductions or increases in the provision for loan losses. In general, loans classified as doubtful or loss are considered impaired while loans classified as substandard are individually evaluated for impairment. Depending on the relative size of the credit relationship, late or insufficient payments of 30 to 90 days will cause management to reevaluate the credit under its normal evaluation procedures. Premises, Furniture and Equipment: Premises, furniture and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed, principally, using the straight line method for premises and the declining-balance method for furniture and equipment based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. (Continued) 11 PEOPLES BANCORP OF WASHINGTON NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Other Real Estate: Real estate acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure is recorded at the lower of cost (fair value at date of foreclosure) or fair value less estimated selling costs. Expenses incurred in carrying other real estate are charged to operations as incurred. Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the sum of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Statement of Cash Flows: For purposes of this statement, cash and cash equivalents is defined to include cash on hand and amounts due from other banks. The Bancorp reports net cash flows for customer loan transactions, deposit transactions, deposits made with other financial institutions and short-term borrowings. Financial Statement Presentation: Certain items in the 1995 financial statements have been reclassified to correspond with the 1996 presentations.

The Bank's funding policy is to contribute the minimum amount required by applicable IRS regulations. Plan assets consist primarily of U.S. Treasury bonds, corporate bonds and other various marketable equity securities. The following sets forth the Plan's funded status and amount recognized in the balance sheet at December 31 (amounts computed as of November 30th for 1996 and 1995): 1996 1995 ---- ---- Actuarial present value of obligations: Accumulated benefit obligation, including vested benefits of $548 and $494 $ 551 $ 496 =========== =========== Plan assets at fair value $ 956 $ 809 Projected benefit obligation for service rendered to date (838) (749) Unrecognized loss 77 89 Prior service cost not yet recognized (13) (14) Unrecognized transition asset (154) (176) ----------- ----------- Accrued pension liability $ (28) $ (41) =========== =========== 1996 1995 1994 ---- ---- ---- Net pension expense included the following: Service cost-benefits earned $ 36 $ 32 $ 45 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 61 57 51 Actual return on plan assets (97) (135) 11 Net amortization and deferral 6 65 (62) ----------- ----------- ----------- Net pension expense $ 6 $ 19 $ 45 =========== =========== =========== The computation of pension liability and expense is based upon several key assumptions.

The Bank has a 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan in which substantially all employees may participate. The Bank matches employees' contributions at the rate of 50 percent on the first 8 percent of participant's salary contributions. The Bank's total 401(k) contributions were $25,210, $20,168 and $21,266 for 1996, 1995 and 1994. (Continued) 20 PEOPLES BANCORP OF WASHINGTON NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 (Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands) NOTE 11 - REGULATORY MATTERS The Bank is 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 capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required. The minimum requirements are: Capital to Risk- Weighted Assets --------------- Tier 1 Capital Total Tier 1 to Average Assets ----- ------ ----------------- Well capitalized 10% 6% 5% Adequately capitalized 8% 4% 4% Undercapitalized 6% 3% 3% At December 31, 1996, the Bank's actual capital levels and minimum required levels were: Minimum Required To Be Well Minimum Required Capitalized Under For Capital Prompt Corrective Actual Adequacy Purposes Action Regulations ------ ----------------- ------------------ Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) Bank $ 10,502 16.25% $ 5,167 8.0% $ 6,460 10.0% Tier I Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) Bank $ 9,693 15.01% $ 2,584 4.0% $ 3,876 6.0% Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets) Bank $ 9,693 10.48% $ 3,970 4.0% $ 4,621 5.0% At year-end 1996 the Bank was categorized as well capitalized.

In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on financial condition or results of operations. In the ordinary course of business, the Bancorp has loans, commitments and contingent liabilities, such as guarantees and commitments to extend credit, which are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bancorp uses the same credit policy to make such commitments as it uses for on-balance sheet items. At December 31, off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk are summarized as follows: 1996 1995 ---- ---- Commitments to extend credit $5,994 $8,435 Standby letters of credit 338 268 The commitments to extend credit are predominantly variable rate agreements, the majority of which are available balances on commercial and consumer lines of credit. Since many commitments to make loans expire without being used, the amount does 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 Bancorp leases branch facilities and equipment under operating leases expiring in various years through 1999. Lease rental expense was $21,073, $20,773, and $19,132 for 1996, 1995 and 1994. The cash balance required to be maintained on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve was $558,000 and $474,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995. These reserves do not earn interest.

Earnings and dividend per share amounts have been retroactively restated for the stock split. The weighted-average number of shares used in calculating earnings and dividends per share amounts was 593,334 for 1996, 1995 and 1994.

It revises the accounting for transfers of financial assets, such as loans and securities, and for distinguishing between sales and secured borrowings. It is effective for some transactions in 1997 and others in 1998. Management does not believe the effect of adopting this standard will have a material effect on the Bancorp's financial position or results of operations.

Pursuant to the agreement, each shareholder of the Bancorp's common stock would exchange their stock in the Bancorp for a specified number of shares of German American Bancorp common stock. The exchange ratio will be determined based upon the average price of German American Bancorp's common stock during the period prior to the effective date of the merger. Consummation of the merger requires the approval of Bancorp shareholders and various regulatory agencies. Regulatory approval has been received and a shareholders meeting will take place in February, 1997 to solicit shareholder approval. 25 (b) Pro forma financial information.
