Prospective investors should carefully consider the information set forth under the heading "Risk Factors." Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the Company include Harrington Bank, FSB. THE COMPANY Harrington Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company") is an Indiana-chartered, registered thrift holding company for Harrington Bank, FSB (the "Bank"). The Bank, which was originally organized in 1889, is a federally chartered savings bank which conducts business through three full-service offices located in Carmel and Fishers, Indiana, both suburbs of Indianapolis, and Richmond, Indiana. The Company's business consists primarily of attracting deposits and utilizing borrowings and other funding sources to originate single-family residential loans and acquire mortgage-backed and related securities. While the Company's focus is to expand its portfolio of originated mortgage loans, over 75% of its assets currently consists of purchased mortgage-backed and related securities. Although mortgage-backed and related securities often carry lower yields than traditional mortgage loans, such securities generally increase the quality of the Company's assets by virtue of the securities' underlying insurance or guarantees, are more liquid than individual mortgage loans (which enhances the Company's ability to actively manage its portfolio) and may be used to collateralize borrowings or other obligations of the Company. Moreover, as a result of the Company maintaining a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed and related securities, the Company has been able to maintain a relatively low level of operating expenses. All of the Company's assets are actively managed by the Company in order to reduce interest rate risk, increase liquidity and enhance the Company's overall profitability and long term value. At December 31, 1995, the Company had total consolidated assets of $307.4 million, total consolidated borrowings of $177.0 million, total consolidated deposits of $114.8 million, and total consolidated stockholders' equity of $11.0 million. The Company was organized in March 1988 by certain principals of Smith Breeden Associates, Inc. ("Smith Breeden") for the sole purpose of acquiring the Bank. The Bank was purchased with the intention of expanding the Bank's mortgage and investment operations and improving the Bank's return on equity by utilizing Smith Breeden's asset and liability management expertise. Smith Breeden presently advises the Company and the Bank with respect to, among other things, the management of its investments and borrowings and the pricing of loans and deposits, as well as the use of various financial instruments to reduce interest rate risk. Smith Breeden renders investment advice and asset and liability management services to financial institutions, corporate and government pension plans, foundations and government agencies nationally and, as of December 31, 1995, advised or managed assets exceeding $20 billion. Certain directors and officers of the Company and the Bank are principals or affiliates of Smith Breeden and, as of December 31, 1995, principals and affiliates of Smith Breeden beneficially owned 95.3% of the Common Stock of the Company. See "Management--Transactions With Certain Related Persons" and "Beneficial Ownership of Securities." The Company attempts to enhance profitability and reduce credit, interest rate and liquidity risk by: (i) investing in mortgage-backed and related securities and originating (both directly and through correspondents) loans secured primarily by single-family residences; (ii) actively managing its investment portfolio and funding sources in order to secure favorable spreads in a variety of interest rate environments; (iii) controlling interest rate risk and net portfolio volatility through the use of interest 3 rate swaps, collars, caps, floors, options and futures (collectively, "interest rate contracts"), and collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed residuals and interest-only and principal-only strips (collectively, "mortgage-backed derivative securities"); (iv) seeking to access cost-efficient funding sources given prevailing market conditions, consisting primarily of deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Indianapolis; (iv) managing its costs in order to maintain high operating efficiency; and (v) attempting to grow its retail banking operations through increased loan originations and retail deposit growth. Highlights of the principal elements of the Company's business strategy are as follows: . Active Portfolio Management. The Company actively manages its interest-earning assets and, with the assistance of Smith Breeden, utilizes "option-adjusted pricing analysis" to quantify the costs embedded in the yield of an investment, including the funding cost, the cost of the options embedded in the investment's cash flows, if any (such as a borrower's ability to prepay a mortgage), and any servicing costs. The objective of the Company's investment management process is to select assets (including loans and securities) with attractive risk-adjusted net spreads (over the Company's funding costs) and actively manage the underlying risks of these investments. The Company uses interest rate contracts and mortgage-backed derivative securities to secure favorable interest rate spreads and to maintain the overall market value of its assets and liabilities in changing interest rate environments. The Company believes that this strategy will enhance the long-term market value of the Company. Nevertheless, because the Company actively manages its portfolio, nearly all of its mortgage-backed and related securities and interest rate contracts are classified for accounting purposes as held for trading (with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings) and, as a result, the Company's earnings have and may in the future fluctuate significantly on a period-to-period basis as has been illustrated by the Company's results of operations over the past five years. The Company attempts to reduce, to the extent possible, such fluctuations through its asset and liability management strategies. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business." . Control Interest Rate Risk. The Company attempts to manage its assets and liabilities in order to maintain a portfolio which produces positive returns in either an increasing or decreasing interest rate environment. The Company has sought to control interest rate risk both internally through the management of the composition of its assets and liabilities and externally through the utilization of interest rate contracts. Interest rate contracts are purchased with the intention of protecting both the net interest income of the Bank and, along with mortgage-backed derivative securities, the market value of the Bank's portfolio on a mark-to-market basis. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Asset and Liability Management." . Control Credit Risk. In order to limit the Company's credit exposure and as part of its strategy to earn a positive interest rate spread, the Company maintains a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed and related securities, which are primarily issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or government sponsored enterprises, and single-family residential loans. At December 31, 1995, the Company's investment in mortgage-backed and related securities amounted to $226.2 million or 97.2% of the Company's securities portfolio (both held for trading and available for sale) and 73.6% of the Company's total assets. In addition, as of such date, the Company's investment in single-family residential loans amounted to $54.0 million or 17.7% of total assets. See "Business-- Lending" and "--Investment Activities." . Reduce Funding Costs. The Company attempts to reduce its overall funding costs by evaluating all potential sources of funds (including retail and non-retail deposits and short and long-term borrowings) and identifying which particular source will result in an all-in cost to the Company that meets its funding benchmark. At the same time, the Company has attempted to price the deposits offered 4 through its branch system in order to promote retail deposit growth and offer a wide array of deposit products to satisfy its customers. See "Business--Sources of Funds." . Increase Emphasis on Retail Banking. An integral part of the Company's strategy is to increase the Bank's emphasis on retail products and services. The Company's primary lending emphasis is on the origination (both directly and through correspondents) of loans secured by first liens on single-family (one-to-four units) residences. Originations of such loans have increased from $8.8 million during fiscal 1993 to $18.9 million during fiscal 1995 and further increased to $25.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 1995. See "Business--Lending Activities." In addition, the Company's retail deposits (including transaction accounts and retail certificates of deposit) have increased from $45.9 million or 51.1% of total deposits at June 30, 1993 to $84.9 million or 73.9% of total deposits at December 31, 1995. See "Business--Sources of Funds--Deposits." The Company believes that single-family residential loan originations generally offer attractive yields, provide a source of fee income and, with respect to direct originations, allow the Company to establish a relationship with the underlying borrower which the Company can utilize to cross-sell additional products and services. In addition, the Company believes that retail deposits are a cost-effective source of funds, provide an additional source of fee income and also permit the further cross-selling of additional products and services. Consequently, the Company expects to continue to focus on increasing its retail deposit base and its portfolio of single-family residential loans. . Control Operating Expenses. As a result of the Company maintaining a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed and related securities, the Company has been able to maintain a low level of operating expenses. Accordingly, the Company's total other expenses to average total assets for the six months ended December 31, 1995 and the year ended June 30, 1995 amounted to 1.08% (annualized) and 1.30%, respectively. Although the Company strives to maintain a low level of operating expenses, management recognizes that as the Bank increases its emphasis on retail banking, its operating expenses will correspondingly increase. . Trust and Investment Management Services. In order to provide a more complete range of financial services to its customers, in December 1994, the Company began offering a variety of trust and investment management services through Harrington Investment Management and Trust Services, a separate division of the Bank. As of December 31, 1995, the Bank administered approximately 49 accounts with aggregate assets of $11.5 million at such date. See "Business--Trust and Fiduciary Services." . Asset Growth and Acquisitions. The Company has and will continue to pursue a policy of utilizing its existing capital and infrastructure to grow through the purchase of mortgage-backed and related securities and the continued growth of the Bank's retail operations. The Company will also consider acquisition opportunities when it perceives that they are advantageous to the Company and its stockholders. There are currently no plans, arrangements, understandings or agreements regarding any such acquisition opportunities. The Company believes that it can initially deploy its capital, including the net proceeds of the Offering, quickly by purchasing mortgage-backed and related securities funded primarily through securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and subsequently redeploy such capital into single-family residential loans as market conditions permit. 5 THE OFFERING Shares Offered...................... 1,100,000 Shares (1,265,000 Shares, assuming full exercise of the over-allotment option). Shares Reserved for Purchase by Affiliates..................... In addition to the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), which expects to purchase 7,000 Shares, the Company's directors and executive officers and certain other affiliates of Smith Breeden as a group (20 persons) have indicated to the Company that they intend to order in the aggregate 343,000 Shares in the Offering. Assuming the full purchases indicated by the ESOP and the Company's directors and executive officers and certain other affiliates of Smith Breeden, such persons and entity would be deemed to beneficially own 73.7% of the Common Stock to be outstanding on a pro forma basis following the Offering (70.0% assuming full exercise of the over-allotment option). See "Beneficial Ownership of Securities." Common Stock Outstanding After the Offering............................ 3,091,738 shares (3,256,738 shares, assuming full exercise of the over-allotment option), which does not include 247,200 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding and to-be-outstanding stock options (137,200 of which relate to previously issued stock options (which are not currently exercisable) and 110,000 of which relate to Common Stock reserved for future issuance pursuant to the Company's Stock Option Plan). See "Management--Benefits--Stock Option Plan," "Beneficial Ownership of Securities" and "Underwriting." Dividends........................... The Company does not expect to pay a dividend on the Common Stock following the Offering, but intends to retain earnings and increase capital in furtherance of its overall business objectives. See "Dividends and Market for Common Stock." Use of Proceeds..................... The Company proposes to retain $1.0 million of the net proceeds from this Offering for general corporate purposes. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used to increase the capital base of the Bank, which will allow the Company to increase its investment in mortgage-backed and related securities as well as the origination (both directly and through correspondents) of single-family residential loans. Although the Offering will result in an increase in the Bank's capital, management believes that as it deploys the capital raised, the Bank's capital ratios will remain generally consistent with historical levels. See "Use of Proceeds." Nasdaq Symbol....................... The Shares have been approved for quotation on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "HFGI."

(3) Regulatory capital ratios apply to the Bank as a federally chartered savings bank. For additional information see "Regulatory Capital" and "Supervision and Regulation--The Bank--Regulatory Capital Requirements." 8 At March 31, 1996, the Company's total assets amounted to $321.8 million, as compared to $307.4 million at December 31, 1995. The $14.4 million or 4.7% increase in total assets during the three months ended March 31, 1996 was primarily the result of a $13.2 million increase in securities held for trading and a $3.0 million increase in loans receivable. The increase in securities held for trading was a result of additional investments in adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association. The increase in loans receivable reflected the Company's continuing efforts to increase its retail banking operations, particularly the origination (both directly and through correspondent mortgage banking companies) of single-family residential loans to individuals residing in eastern and central Indiana. The increase in the Company's assets from December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996 was funded primarily by a $12.2 million or 10.6% increase in deposits and a $1.7 million or 1.2% increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase. The increase in the Company's deposits during the period reflected the Company's opening of a new branch office in Fishers, Indiana in December 1995 and various promotional efforts which were utilized to attract retail deposits. At March 31, 1996, the Company's stockholder's equity amounted to $11.6 million, as compared to $11.0 million at December 31, 1995. The 5.5% increase in stockholders' equity was due to the $607,000 of net income recognized during the quarter. At March 31, 1996, the Bank's tangible and core capital amounted to $19.8 million or 6.2% of adjusted total assets, which exceeded the minimum 1.5% and 3.0% requirements by $15.0 million and $10.2 million, respectively. Additionally, as of such date, the Bank's risk-based capital totalled $19.9 million or 24.7% of total risk-adjusted assets, which exceeded the minimum 8.0% requirement by $13.5 million. The Company reported net income of $607,000 or $0.30 per share and $1.2 million or $0.58 per share during the three and nine months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $940,000 or $0.54 per share and $1.7 million or $1.16 per share during the prior comparable periods. The $333,000 or 35.4% decrease in net income during the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily due to a $377,000 decline in total portfolio income (net interest income after provision for loan losses and other income relating to the Company's securities activities) and a $216,000 increase in total other expense, which was partially offset by a $235,000 decrease in the Company's income tax provision. The $560,000 or 32.7% decrease in net income during the nine months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily the result of a $527,000 decline in total portfolio income and a $444,000 increase in total other expense, which was partially offset by a $395,000 decrease in the income tax provision. Net interest income increased by $69,000 or 5.7% during the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities, from 99.09% to 100.08%, primarily reflecting increases in the average balances of securities held for trading and loans, which was partially offset by a 58 basis point decline in the Company's interest rate spread (from 2.25% to 1.67%). Net interest income increased by $478,000 or 14.2% during the nine months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities, from 99.55% to 100.66%, primarily reflecting increases in the average balances of securities held for trading and loans, which was partially offset by a 48 basis point decline in the Company's interest rate spread (from 2.13% to 1.65%). The decline in the Company's interest rate spread during the three and nine months ended March 31, 1996 was primarily due to the Bank reinvesting the capital raised in the Company's fiscal 1995 private placement through the purchase of highly liquid but lower yielding mortgage-backed and related securities, which were funded primarily through securities sold under agreements to repurchase. 9 Total other income amounted to $666,000 and $611,000 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $1.1 million and $1.6 million during the same respective periods in the prior year. This income principally represents the net mark-to-market value gain or loss (realized or unrealized) on securities held for trading, offset by the net mark-to-market value gain or loss (realized or unrealized) on interest rate contracts used for hedging such securities. Management's objective in actively hedging and managing the Company's investment trading portfolio is to reduce the interest rate risk of this portfolio. Through the Company's employment of option-adjusted spread analysis, the Company attempts to select investments with high relative values and to earn positive returns with respect to such securities. The overall profitability with respect to the Company's securities activities is significantly affected by changes in spread relationships between mortgage-backed and related securities and the interest rate contracts utilized by the Company for hedging purposes. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 1996, the Company recognized $5.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of gains on securities held for trading (which include interest rate contracts used for hedging purposes), which was partially offset by $4.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively of unrealized losses on securities held for trading. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 1995, the Company recognized $2.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of unrealized gains on securities held for trading, which was partially offset by $1.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of losses on the sale of securities held for trading. The decline in the Company's income from securities activities during the three and nine months ended March 31, 1996 reflected fluctuations with respect to the values of the Company's mortgage-backed and related securities as well as fluctuations with respect to the values of the various interest rate contracts utilized by the Company to hedge its interest rate exposure. Total other expense amounted to $1.0 million and $2.8 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $828,000 and $2.3 million during the same respective periods in the prior year. The increase in total other expense during the three and nine month periods reflected increases in salaries, marketing costs and other operating expenses, which were primarily the result of the Company's retail growth during such periods (including the opening of a new branch office in Fishers, Indiana). However, total other expense as a percentage of average total assets amounted to 1.29% and 1.15% during the three and nine months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to 1.39% and 1.36% during the same respective periods in the prior year. The Company's income tax provision amounted to $293,000 and $542,000 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $528,000 and $937,000 during the same respective periods in the prior year. The Company's effective tax rate amounted to 32.6% and 32.0% during the three and nine months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to 36.0% and 35.4% during the same respective periods in the prior year. The liquidity of the Bank, as measured by the ratio of cash, cash equivalents (not committed, pledged or required to liquidate specific liabilities), investments and qualifying mortgage-backed securities to the sum of total deposits plus borrowings payable within one year, was 5.40% at March 31, 1996, as compared to 5.36% and 7.95% at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. At March 31, 1996, the Bank's "liquid" assets totalled approximately $14.7 million, which was $1.1 million in excess of the current OTS minimum requirement. At March 31, 1996, the total approved loan commitments outstanding amounted to $3.4 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 1996 totalled $79.8 million. 10 RISK FACTORS The following risk factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this Prospectus, should be carefully considered by investors in deciding whether to purchase the Shares offered hereby. EARNINGS VOLATILITY The Company maintains a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed and related securities and actively manages its investment portfolio in order to obtain favorable interest rate spreads in a variety of interest rate environments. Due to the Company's strategy of actively managing its securities portfolio, nearly all of the Company's mortgage-backed and related securities and interest rate contracts are classified for accounting purposes as held for trading. Consequently, such securities and contracts are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. In addition, as discussed below under "--Potential Effects of Changes in Interest Rates," despite the Company's sophisticated asset and liability management strategies, the Company cannot perfectly match the elasticity of its assets and liabilities or completely eliminate the Company's interest rate risk. As a result of the foregoing, the Company's earnings have historically and may continue in the future to fluctuate significantly on a period-to-period basis. During the six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company reported net income of $543,000 and $770,000, respectively, while during the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991, the Company reported net income (loss) of $1.9 million, $927,000, $(130,000), $817,000 and $1.4 million, respectively. See "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES The operations of the Company are substantially dependent on its net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on its interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on its interest-bearing liabilities, and the change in value of the Company's securities portfolio. Because the Company's interest-earning assets have longer effective maturities than its interest-bearing liabilities, the yield on the Company's interest-earning assets generally will adjust more slowly than the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities and, as a result, if left unhedged, the Company's net interest income and the value of its securities portfolio generally would be adversely affected by material and prolonged increases in interest rates and positively affected by comparable declines in interest rates. In addition to affecting net interest income, changes in interest rates also can affect the value of the Company's interest-earning assets, which are comprised of fixed and adjustable-rate instruments. Generally, the value of fixed-rate instruments declines when interest rates rise and, conversely, increases when interest rates fall. Nearly all of the Company's securities are classified as held for trading and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Accordingly, declines in the value of the Company's securities held for trading could, in the absence of hedging, have a negative impact on the Company's earnings regardless of whether any securities were actually sold by the Company. The Company has sought to reduce the vulnerability of its operations to changes in interest rates by managing the nature and composition of its rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. In general, the Company's goal in managing its interest rate risk is to match the elasticities of its assets and liabilities as closely as possible. The Company attempts to manage its exposure to interest rate risk externally through the use of interest rate contracts. The net expense relating to such interest rate contracts has effectively reduced the Company's interest rate spread and net interest margin over the past five years. However, in a different interest rate environment, interest rate contracts could increase the Company's interest rate spread and net interest margin. The Company also attempts to attract longer-term sources of funds or utilizes mortgage-backed derivative securities in order to internally manage the Company's interest rate exposure. Such interest rate contracts and mortgage-backed 11 derivative securities are included in the Company's trading portfolio and, as discussed above, reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses thereon included in earnings. Changes in net interest income and the value of the Company's mortgage-backed and related securities are generally offset by changes in the value of the Company's interest rate contracts and mortgage-backed derivative securities and, consequently, the effect of changing interest rates on the Company's operations is mitigated to a large degree by the Company's active management of its assets and liabilities. However, because of a variety of factors, including the inefficiencies of completely matching the elasticities of its assets and liabilities, the widening or tightening of asset spreads and changes in actual prepayment experience as compared to the prepayment assumptions used by the Company in modeling interest rate spreads, the Company cannot perfectly match the elasticity of its assets and liabilities or completely eliminate the Company's exposure to interest rate risk. In addition, because of the Company's strategies associated with managing its exposure to interest rate risk, particularly its accounting of its securities portfolio on a mark-to-market basis, changes in market conditions may result in volatility with respect to the Company's earnings. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Changes in Financial Condition," "--Results of Operations" and "--Asset and Liability Management." PRICING RISK In order to establish the fair value of the individual securities within the Company's securities portfolio, the Company obtains price quotations from various broker-dealers and electronic quotation and market information services. Although these quotations are believed to be accurate, no assurances can be made that such prices truly reflect the fair value of such securities. In addition, certain of the mortgage-backed derivative securities held by the Company may have a thin or limited trading market. The lack of a liquid trading market for the Company's mortgage-backed derivative securities or other securities may have an adverse effect on the market price of such securities and the Company's ability to dispose of such securities and may also make it more difficult for the Company to obtain accurate market quotations for purposes of valuing these instruments. Market quotations for these securities may not necessarily reflect prices obtainable with respect to an actual sale. Since a substantial portion of the Company's securities portfolio are held for trading, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings, any inaccurate price quotations could adversely affect the Company's results of operations. USE OF INTEREST RATE CONTRACTS AND OTHER DERIVATIVES A principal element of the Company's business strategy is the reduction of interest rate exposure through the utilization of various interest rate contracts such as interest rate swaps, collars, caps, floors, options and futures. In addition, the Company's trading portfolio includes a variety of mortgage-backed derivative instruments such as collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed residuals and interest-only and principal-only strips. Interest rate contracts and mortgage-backed derivative securities (collectively "derivative securities") are, by their nature, subject to various risks (all of which risks also apply to most other financial instruments) which could, in the case of certain interest rate contracts, result in losses exceeding the carrying value of the particular instrument. Among the risks inherent with respect to the purchase and/or sale of derivative securities are (i) basis risk, which consists of the risk of loss associated with variations in the spread between the asset yield and the funding and/or hedge cost; (ii) credit or default risk, which consists of the risk of insolvency or other inability of the counterparty to a particular transaction to perform its obligations thereunder; (iii) prepayment risk, which consists of reinvestment risk to the extent the Company is not able to reinvest prepayments, if any, at a yield which is comparable to the yield being generated on the particular security; (iv) interest rate risk, which consists of the risks relating to fluctuating interest rates; (v) liquidity risk, which consists of the risk that the Company may not be able to sell a particular security for a particular price; and (vi) volatility risk, 12 which consists of the risk that actual volatility (i.e., the degree of uncertainty relating to the price of the underlying asset) differs from the historical volatility or "implied" volatility of the instrument. With the assistance of Smith Breeden, the Company manages the foregoing risks with respect to its derivative securities within the context of its overall asset and liability management strategies. With respect to basis risk, the Company closely monitors fluctuations in the spreads of its assets, liabilities and hedges and actively manages its portfolio, including selling specific securities when spreads tighten and buying specific securities when spreads widen. With respect to credit or default risk, the Company generally only deals with large investment brokerage firms, requires such firms to post collateral in certain cases and limits its unsecured exposure to any one firm to 25% of the Bank's equity for any two-month period and 35% of the Bank's equity for any one-month period. With respect to prepayment risk, Smith Breeden provides the Company with extensive information regarding prepayments and performs a variety of stress tests regarding the Company's portfolio. With regard to interest rate risk, the Company analyzes the interest rate exposure of its assets and liabilities as a whole (including any derivative securities held in the portfolio) and utilizes various interest rate contracts to hedge the interest rate risk exhibited by the Company's overall portfolio of assets and liabilities. With respect to liquidity risk, the Company generally purchases mortgage-backed and related securities which are issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies and government sponsored enterprises, which facilitates the Company's ability to trade such securities. Finally, the Company attempts to address volatility risk through the purchase and management of offsetting option contracts. Despite the Company's adherence to the foregoing policies and procedures, the Company is still subject to the risk of potential losses with respect to its derivative securities. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Asset and Liability Management" and "Business-- Investment Activities." ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO ACHIEVE BUSINESS OBJECTIVES The Company's business strategy is dependent upon its ability to (i) increase its interest-earning assets, including its investment in mortgage-backed and related securities and single-family residential loans, (ii) effectively control interest rate and credit risk through the active management of its assets and liabilities and the selection of appropriate interest rate contracts and mortgage-backed derivative securities and (iii) reduce funding and operating costs. The Company's ability to maintain profitability as it pursues its business strategy will be dependent upon, among other things, (i) maintaining appropriate procedures, policies and standards with respect to its investments and loan activities, (ii) maintaining, augmenting and implementing internal reporting and management systems to accommodate substantial increases in its investment and loan portfolios, (iii) retaining and attracting qualified personnel or advisors, (iv) attracting additional capital, and (v) operating in competitive, economic and regulatory environments that are conducive to the Company's business activities. Changes in the Company's ability to obtain or maintain any or all of these factors or to successfully implement its business strategy could have a material adverse impact on the Company's operations, profitability and growth. See "Business--General." COMPETITION The Company and the Bank face strong direct competition for deposits and loans from other thrifts, commercial banks, credit unions and other financial institutions. Some of the Company's competitors are local, while some are statewide or nationwide. Some of the financial institutions and financial service organizations with which the Company and the Bank compete are not subject to the same degree of regulation as that imposed upon thrift holding companies, bank holding companies, or federally insured thrifts and banks, and therefore may have advantages with respect to providing certain services. 13 The Bank competes for deposits and loans with other financial institutions, many of whom are larger and have greater resources than the Bank. There can be no assurance that the Bank will, in the future, be able to continue to increase its deposit base or purchase or originate loans in the amounts or on the terms necessary for the Company to achieve its growth strategies. EXTERNAL FINANCING The Company obtained a revolving credit facility and term loan in the aggregate amount of $10.0 million from a third party financial institution which will expire in March 2000 (subject to the ability to extend for an additional five years). Effective upon consummation of the Offering, the credit facility and term loan will be amended to provide for an additional $3.0 million line of credit. See "Business-- Sources of Funds--Borrowings." Although the Company considers such credit facility (as proposed to be amended), in addition to the net proceeds of the Offering, adequate for its current capital needs, the Company may seek in the future additional debt or equity capital in order to achieve its longer-term business objectives. There can be no assurance that additional financing sources, if sought, would be available to the Company or, if available, would be on terms favorable to the Company. RECAPITALIZATION OF SAIF AND RELATED LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS The deposits of the Company are currently insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Both the SAIF and the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), the federal deposit insurance fund that covers commercial bank deposits, are required by law to attain and thereafter maintain a reserve ratio of 1.25% of insured deposits. The BIF has achieved a fully funded status in contrast to the SAIF and, therefore, as discussed below, the FDIC recently substantially reduced the average deposit insurance premium paid by commercial banks to a level substantially below the average premium paid by savings institutions. On November 14, 1995, the FDIC approved a final rule regarding deposit insurance premiums. The final rule reduced deposit insurance premiums for BIF member institutions to zero basis points (subject to a $2,000 minimum) for institutions in the lowest risk category, while holding deposit insurance premiums for SAIF members at their current levels (23 basis points for institutions in the lowest risk category). The reduction was effective with respect to the semiannual premium assessment beginning January 1, 1996. Accordingly, in the absence of further legislative action, SAIF members such as the Bank will be competitively disadvantaged as compared to commercial banks by the resulting premium differential. The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate have actively considered legislation which would have eliminated the premium differential between SAIF-insured institutions and BIF-insured institutions by recapitalizing the SAIF's reserves to the required ratio. The proposed legislation would have provided that all SAIF member institutions pay a special one-time assessment to recapitalize the SAIF, which in the aggregate would have been sufficient to bring the reserve ratio in the SAIF to 1.25% of insured deposits. Based on the current level of reserves maintained by the SAIF, it was anticipated that the amount of the special assessment required to recapitalize the SAIF would have been approximately 80 to 85 basis points of the SAIF-assessable deposits. It was anticipated that after the recapitalization of the SAIF, premiums paid by SAIF-insured institutions would be reduced to match those currently being assessed BIF-insured commercial banks. The legislation also provided for the merger of the BIF and the SAIF, with such merger being conditioned upon the prior elimination of the thrift charter. The legislation discussed above had been, for some time, included as part of a fiscal 1996 federal budget bill, but was eliminated prior to the bill being enacted on April 26, 1996. In light of the legislation's elimination and the uncertainty of the legislative process generally, management cannot predict whether legislation reducing SAIF premiums and/or imposing a special one-time assessment will be adopted, or, if adopted, the amount of the assessment, if any, that would be imposed on the Bank. 14 If legislation were to be enacted in the future which would assess a one-time special assessment of 85 basis points, the Bank would (based upon the Bank's SAIF deposits as of March 31, 1995) pay approximately $700,000, net of related tax benefits. In addition, the enactment of such legislation might have the effect of immediately reducing the Bank's capital by such an amount. Nevertheless, management does not believe, based upon the foregoing assumptions, that a one-time assessment of this nature would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition. PENDING LEGISLATION REGARDING BAD DEBT RESERVES Under Section 593 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), thrift institutions such as the Bank, which meet certain definitional tests primarily relating to their assets and the nature of their business, are permitted to establish a tax reserve for bad debts and to make annual additions thereto, which additions may, within specified limitations, be deducted in arriving at their taxable income. The Company's deduction with respect to "qualifying loans," which are generally loans secured by certain interests in real property, may currently be computed using an amount based on the Company's actual loss experience (the "experience method"), or a percentage equal to 8.0% of the Company's taxable income (the "percentage of taxable income method"), computed without regard to this deduction and with additional modifications and reduced by the amount of any permitted addition to the non-qualifying reserve. See generally "Supervision and Regulation--Federal Taxation." Under proposed legislation, the percentage of taxable income method would be repealed and the Bank would be permitted to use only the experience method of computing additions to its bad debt reserve. In addition, the Bank would be unable to make additions to its tax bad debt reserve, would be permitted to deduct bad debts only as they occur and would additionally be required to recapture (i.e., take into income) over a six-year period the excess of the balance of its bad debt reserves as of December 31, 1995 over the balance of such reserves as of December 31, 1987. However, under the proposed legislation, such recapture requirements would be suspended for each of two successive taxable years beginning January 1, 1996, in which the Bank originates a minimum amount of certain residential loans based upon the average of the principal amounts of such loans made by the Bank during its six taxable years preceding 1996. It is anticipated that any recapture of the Bank's bad debt reserves accumulated after 1987 would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. NO PRIOR MARKET; DILUTION Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Company's Common Stock. The Company has received approval to have the Common Stock quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "HFGI." However, there can be no assurance that an established and liquid trading market for the Common Stock will develop, that it will continue if it does develop, or that after the completion of the Offering the Common Stock will trade at or above the Price to Public set forth on the cover of this Prospectus. In addition, the substantial amount of Common Stock which is expected to be held by the directors and officers of the Company and the Bank, certain other affiliates of Smith Breeden and the Company's ESOP may adversely affect the development of an active and liquid trading market. See "--Concentration of Ownership" below. Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and NatCity Investments, Inc. (the "Underwriters") have advised the Company that they intend to make a market in the Company's Common Stock as long as the volume of trading activity in the Common Stock and certain other market making considerations justify doing so. See "Dividends and Market for Common Stock." Purchasers of the Shares offered hereby will incur immediate net tangible book value dilution. Without taking into account any changes in net tangible book value after December 31, 1995, other than those resulting from the sale by the Company of the 1,100,000 Shares offered hereby (assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option and after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses), the pro forma net tangible book value at December 31, 1995 would 15 have been $6.74 per share, representing an immediate dilution of $3.26 per share to persons purchasing the Shares offered hereby at the Price to Public set forth on the cover of this Prospectus. See "Dilution." SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE The Company, stockholders of the Company prior to the commencement of the Offering and any principal of Smith Breeden or executive officer or director of the Company who buys in the Offering have agreed that for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus, they will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or any rights to purchase or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters. See "Underwriting." Notwithstanding the foregoing, the future sale of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock by existing stockholders, holders of outstanding options or stockholders purchasing Shares in the Offering could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Company's Common Stock. See "Management--Benefits--Stock Option Plan," "--Executive Compensation," "Beneficial Ownership of Securities" and "Shares Eligible For Future Sale." CONCENTRATION OF OWNERSHIP Upon completion of the Offering, the directors and officers of the Company and the Bank, certain other affiliates of Smith Breeden and the Company's ESOP will own approximately 73.7% of the Company's Common Stock, or approximately 70.0% assuming full exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option. In addition, upon completion of the Offering, Douglas T. Breeden, the current Chairman of the Board of the Company, is expected to own approximately 43.2% of the Company's Common Stock, or approximately 41.0% assuming full exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option. Accordingly, such persons will effectively have the ability to control the Company and direct its affairs and business, which may include taking actions which are not supported by non-affiliated stockholders. Moreover, such voting control could enable the Board of Directors and senior management to block the approval of transactions requiring the approval of more than a majority of the stockholders under the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. See "Management," "Beneficial Ownership of Securities" and "Description of Capital Stock--Restrictions on Acquisition of the Company." IMPORTANCE OF KEY EMPLOYEE AND INVESTMENT ADVISOR The Company's future success depends, to a great extent, upon the services of Craig J. Cerny, the President of the Company and the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank. In addition to his duties with the Company and the Bank, Mr. Cerny holds management positions with Smith Breeden and another financial institution. Although it is not anticipated, the interests of these other institutions may require substantial amounts of Mr. Cerny's management time and attention. The Company believes that the prolonged unavailability or the unexpected loss of the services of Mr. Cerny may have a material adverse effect upon the Company, as attracting a suitable replacement may involve significant time and/or expense. The Company has not entered into any employment or noncompete agreement with Mr. Cerny and does not maintain life insurance with respect to Mr. Cerny for the Company's benefit. The Bank entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Smith Breeden dated as of April 1, 1992, as amended on March 1, 1995. Under the terms of the agreement, Smith Breeden acts as investment advisor with respect to the management of the Bank's portfolio of investments and its asset and liability management strategies. Specifically, Smith Breeden advises and consults with the Bank with respect to its investment activities, including the acquisition of mortgage-backed and related securities, the utilization of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings and the acquisition of certain interest rate contracts and mortgage-backed derivative securities to reduce the 16 interest rate risk of the Bank's portfolio. The Bank employs "option-adjusted pricing analysis" with respect to the purchase and sale of mortgage-backed and related securities for its investment portfolio and relies on Smith Breeden with respect to such analysis as well as the implementation of the Bank's asset and liability management strategies. The Company believes that there are other investment advisory firms that could perform the services currently being provided by Smith Breeden; however, there can be no assurance as to whether an alternative investment advisor could be retained on a timely basis if the Bank's agreement with Smith Breeden was terminated or Smith Breeden was otherwise unable to perform its services to the Bank. In addition, Smith Breeden provides consulting and investment advice for a number of other financial institutions. Although Smith Breeden has adopted a policy in order to reduce potential conflicts of interest with respect to its financial institution consulting practice, no assurance can be made that a conflict of interest would not arise which conflict could adversely affect the Bank. Certain directors and officers of the Company and the Bank are also principals or affiliates of Smith Breeden and, as of December 31, 1995, principals and affiliates of Smith Breeden beneficially owned 95.3% of the Common Stock of the Company. See "Management-- Transactions With Certain Related Persons" and "Beneficial Ownership of Securities." REGULATION The Company, as a savings and loan holding company, and the Bank, as a federally chartered savings bank, are subject to extensive governmental supervision and regulation, which is intended primarily for the protection of depositors. In addition, the Company and the Bank are subject to changes in federal and state law, as well as changes in regulations, governmental policies and accounting principles. The effects of any such potential changes cannot be accurately predicted at this time but could adversely affect the business and operations of the Company and the Bank. See "Supervision and Regulation." ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS In addition to the amount of Common Stock controlled by the directors and officers of the Company and the Bank, the Company's ESOP and certain other affiliates of Smith Breeden as described under "--Concentration of Ownership," certain provisions of the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and the Indiana Business Corporation Law could have the effect of discouraging non-negotiated takeover attempts which certain stockholders might deem to be in their interest and make it more difficult for stockholders of the Company to remove members of its Board of Directors and management. In addition, various federal laws and regulations could affect the ability of a person, firm or entity to acquire the Company or shares of its Common Stock. See "Description of Capital Stock--Restrictions on Acquisition of the Company." 17 THE COMPANY The Company is an Indiana-chartered, registered thrift holding company for the Bank. The Bank is a federally chartered savings bank which conducts business through three full-service offices located in Carmel and Fishers, Indiana, both suburbs of Indianapolis, and Richmond, Indiana. The Company was organized in March 1988 in connection with its acquisition of the Bank. The Bank was originally organized in 1889 as an Indiana-chartered savings association under the name "The Peoples Home and Savings Association of Richmond, Indiana." In 1936, the Bank obtained federal insurance and in 1984 adopted a federal charter and changed its name to "Peoples Federal Savings Association." In 1985, the Bank converted from mutual to stock form and, in March 1994, changed its name to "Harrington Bank, FSB." At December 31, 1995, the Company had total consolidated assets of $307.4 million, total consolidated borrowings of $177.0 million, total consolidated deposits of $114.8 million, and total consolidated stockholders' equity of $11.0 million. The Company was organized in March 1988 by certain principals of Smith Breeden for the sole purpose of acquiring the Bank. This investor group purchased the Bank with the intention of expanding the Bank's mortgage and investment operations and improving the Bank's return on equity through the use of Smith Breeden's "option-adjusted pricing analysis." Smith Breeden presently advises the Company and the Bank with respect to, among other things, the management of its investments and borrowings, the pricing of loans and deposits, as well as the use of various financial instruments to reduce interest rate risk. Certain directors and officers of the Company and the Bank are principals or affiliates of Smith Breeden and, as of December 31, 1995, principals and affiliates of Smith Breeden beneficially owned 95.3% of the Common Stock of the Company. See "Management--Transactions With Certain Related Persons" and "Beneficial Ownership of Securities." The Company, as a registered savings and loan holding company, is subject to examination and regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and is subject to various reporting and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Bank, as a federally chartered savings bank, is subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by the OTS, as its chartering authority and primary regulator, and by the FDIC, which administers the SAIF, which insures the Bank's deposits to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Indianapolis, which is one of the 12 regional banks which comprise the FHLB System. The Bank is further subject to regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve Board") governing reserves required to be maintained against deposits and certain other matters. See "Supervision and Regulation." The Company's principal executive offices are located at 7300 College Boulevard, Suite 430, Overland Park, Kansas, and its telephone number is (913) 451-1566. 18 USE OF PROCEEDS The net proceeds from the sale of the 1,100,000 Shares offered on behalf of the Company are estimated to be $9.8 million ($11.3 million if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), after deducting the estimated underwriting discount and offering expenses. The Company proposes to retain $1.0 million in net proceeds for general corporate purposes and to use the remainder of the net proceeds to increase the Bank's regulatory capital, which will allow the Company to increase its investment in mortgage-backed and related securities as well as the origination (both directly and through correspondents) of single-family residential loans. Although the Offering will result in an increase in the Bank's capital, management believes that as it deploys the capital raised, the Bank's capital ratios will remain generally consistent with historical levels. DIVIDENDS AND MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK The Company has never paid a dividend and is presently prohibited from paying any dividends on its Common Stock under the terms of an outstanding loan facility with an unrelated financial institution. While the Company is permitted to pay dividends on the Common Stock, in an amount equal to up to 35% of the Company's average consolidated earnings for the prior four quarters (see "Business--Sources of Funds--Borrowings"), the Company does not expect to pay a dividend on its Common Stock following the Offering. Rather, the Company intends to retain earnings and increase capital in furtherance of its overall business objectives. The Company will periodically review its dividend policy in view of the operating performance of the Company, and may declare dividends in the future if such payments are deemed appropriate and in compliance with applicable law and regulations. Cash and stock dividends are subject to determination and declaration by the Board of Directors, which will take into account the Company's consolidated earnings, financial condition, liquidity and capital requirements, applicable governmental regulations and policies, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. See "Supervision and Regulation--The Bank--Capital Distributions" and "-- Federal Taxation." Substantially all of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company prior to the Offering is held by the directors and officers of the Company and the Bank and certain affiliates of Smith Breeden. As such, there is no established market for the Common Stock at this time. The Company expects that following the Offering, the Common Stock will be traded in the over-the-counter market. The Company has received approval to have the Common Stock quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "HFGI." The Underwriters have advised the Company that, upon completion of the Offering, they intend to make a market in the Common Stock. Making a market involves maintaining bid and ask quotations and being able, as principal, to effect transactions in reasonable quantities at those quoted prices, subject to various securities laws and other regulatory requirements. Additionally, the development of a liquid public market depends on the existence of willing buyers and sellers, the presence of which is not within the control of the Company or any market maker. Given the concentration of ownership by the directors and officers of the Company and the Bank, the Company's ESOP and certain affiliates of Smith Breeden that is expected to continue after the Offering, see "Beneficial Ownership of Securities," the number of active buyers and sellers of the Common Stock at any particular time may be limited. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that an active and liquid trading market for the Common Stock will develop or that, if developed, it will continue, nor is there any assurance that persons purchasing shares of Common Stock will be able to sell them at or above the Price to Public set forth on the cover page hereof. 19 CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth (i) the consolidated capitalization of the Company at December 31, 1995 and (ii) the consolidated capitalization of the Company on an as adjusted basis to reflect the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the Offering and receipt by the Company of the net proceeds therefrom, as if the sale of the Shares had been consummated on December 31, 1995 and assuming that the Underwriters' over-allotment option was not exercised. For a tabular presentation of the estimated pro forma effects of the Offering on the regulatory capital ratios of the Bank, see "Regulatory Capital."

(2) As adjusted retained earnings reflects compensation expense from the purchase of 7,000 shares of Common Stock by the Company's ESOP, net of applicable income taxes, with the funds contributed by the Company. 20 REGULATORY CAPITAL Under regulations adopted by the OTS, each savings institution is currently required to maintain tangible and core capital equal to at least 1.5% and 3.0%, respectively, of its adjusted total assets, and total capital equal to at least 8.0% of its risk-weighted assets. The following table sets forth the actual regulatory capital ratios of the Bank at December 31, 1995 and as adjusted to give effect to the receipt of the estimated net proceeds from the sale of the Shares in the Offering, based on the Company's contribution of approximately $8.8 million of the net proceeds to the Bank. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Supervision and Regulation--The Bank--Regulatory Capital Requirements." Although the Offering will result in an increase in the Bank's capital, management believes that as it deploys the capital raised, the Bank's capital ratios will remain generally consistent with historical levels.

"Net tangible book value per share" represents the tangible net worth of the Company (total assets less goodwill and total liabilities), divided by the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be outstanding. Without taking into account any changes in net tangible book value after December 31, 1995, other than those resulting from the sale by the Company of the 1,100,000 Shares offered hereby (assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option and after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses), the pro forma net tangible book value at December 31, 1995 would have been $6.74 per share, representing an immediate increase of $1.21 per share to current stockholders and an immediate dilution of $3.26 per share to persons purchasing the Shares offered hereby.

For additional information see "Regulatory Capital" and "Supervision and Regulation--The Bank--Regulatory Capital Requirements." 23 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The Company attempts to enhance profitability with acceptable levels of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk by actively managing its interest-earning assets and funding sources to secure favorable interest rate spreads. The Company invests primarily in mortgage-backed and related securities and originates (both directly and through correspondents) loans secured by single-family residences located primarily in eastern and central Indiana. To reduce the institution's exposure to interest rate risk, the Company utilizes interest rate contracts and mortgage-backed derivative securities in conjunction with regular adjustments to the composition of the Company's investment portfolio. The Company's funding strategy focuses on accessing cost-efficient funding sources, including securities sold under agreements to repurchase, retail and non-retail deposits and FHLB advances. The Company is focusing on continuing to build a community-oriented retail banking operation in order to sustain loan originations and deposit growth and generate additional fee income. The Company's overall goal is to increase stockholders' value, as measured on a risk-adjusted total return basis. The Company's business strategy focuses on achieving attractive returns consistent with prudent risk management. The Company has sought to implement this strategy by (i) controlling interest rate risk by using interest rate contracts to match the interest rate sensitivity of its assets to that of its liabilities; (ii) maintaining a substantial portion of the Company's assets in mortgage-backed and related securities and single-family residential loans which are actively managed with the intention of limiting credit exposure and enhancing net interest income and portfolio income; (iii) reducing funding costs through the utilization of retail and non-retail deposits and other borrowings; (iv) increasing its emphasis on retail banking through the origination (both directly and through correspondents) of single-family residential loans and the expansion of its core deposit base; (v) maintaining a low level of operating expenses; (vi) meeting the banking needs of its customers through, among other things, the offering of trust and investment management services; and (vii) continued internal growth and the pursuit of acquisition opportunities when appropriate. While the Company's focus is to expand its portfolio of originated mortgage loans, over 75% of its assets currently consists of purchased mortgage-backed and related securities. Although mortgage-backed and related securities often carry lower yields than traditional mortgage loans, such securities generally increase the quality of the Company's assets by virtue of the securities' underlying insurance or guarantees, are more liquid than individual mortgage loans (which enhances the Company's ability to actively manage its portfolio) and may be used to collateralize borrowings or other obligations of the Company. In addition, although the Company's strategy of investing a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed and related securities and utilizing various interest rate contracts to hedge the Company's interest rate exposure has resulted in lower interest rate spreads and margins as compared to the Company's peer group, management believes that the lower operating expenses and reduced credit and interest rate risk attendant to such strategy have enhanced the Company's overall profitability as well as its ability to remain profitable over a variety of interest rate scenarios. Although the Company intends to expand its portfolio of single-family residential loans following consummation of the Offering, management expects that mortgage-backed and related securities will remain a substantial portion of the Company's assets. Since 1991, the Company's results of operations have been characterized by what management believes are favorable expense and loan charge-off ratios and higher leverage ratios as compared to the Company's peer group. These operating characteristics have contributed to what management believes are above average returns on equity, notwithstanding somewhat lower than average net interest margins. The Company has operated profitably over the past five and one-half years except for a $130,000 loss recognized during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1993. The loss in fiscal 1993 included a write-off of $663,000 of goodwill and core deposit intangibles (with no related tax benefits) which 24 related to the Company's acquisition of the Bank in 1988. Although the Company's return on average equity has fluctuated over the past five years from a low of (2.67)% during fiscal 1993 to a high of 39.45% during fiscal 1991, the Company's return on average equity during the five fiscal years ended June 30, 1995 amounted to over 18% on a compounded basis. For the six months ended December 31, 1995, the Company's return on average equity amounted to 10.06% (annualized). The Company marks a substantial portion of its assets to market in order to fully account for the market value changes in the Company's investment portfolio. This method of accounting is consistent with the Company's strategy of active portfolio management and provides the Company with the flexibility to quickly adjust the mix of its interest-earning assets in response to changing market conditions. The Company recognizes that marking substantially all of its assets to market subjects the Company to the potential for earnings volatility, which is reflected to a significant degree by the Company's results of operations over the past five years. The extent of the volatility demonstrated by the Company over the past five years, however, has in part resulted from the implementation of different accounting methods for the Company's mortgage-backed and related securities owned as well as the call of certain mortgage-backed residuals in 1994 and the write-down of an investment in a single non-agency participation certificate in fiscal 1994 and 1995, each of which is described under "--Results of Operations." ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT In general, financial institutions are negatively affected by an increase in interest rates to the extent that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more rapidly than interest-earning assets. The lending activities of savings institutions have historically emphasized the origination of long-term, fixed-rate loans secured by single-family residences, and the primary source of funds of such institutions has been deposits, which largely mature or are subject to repricing within a shorter period of time. This factor has historically caused the income earned by savings institutions on their loan portfolios to adjust more slowly to changes in interest rates than their cost of funds. While having liabilities that reprice more frequently than assets is generally beneficial to net interest income in times of declining interest rates, such an asset/liability mismatch is generally detrimental during periods of rising interest rates. The Company believes that its asset and liability management strategy, as discussed below, provides the Company with a competitive advantage over other financial institutions. As a result of the Company's ability to effectively hedge its interest rate exposure through the use of various financial instruments, the Company can acquire loans and investments which offer attractive net risk-adjusted spreads without having to consider whether individual loans or investments are fixed-rate or adjustable-rate or short-term or long-term. Similarly, the Company can choose a cost-effective source of funds and subsequently engage in an interest rate swap or other hedging transaction so that the interest rate sensitivities of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are generally matched. The Company's asset and liability management strategy is formulated and monitored by the Boards of Directors of both the Company and the Bank. The Boards' written policies and procedures are implemented by the Investment Committee of the Bank, which is comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer, Investment Officer, and three outside directors of the Bank. The Investment Committee meets at least monthly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of the Bank's assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, including those transactions attributable to altering the interest rate risk, the book and market values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, the past month's purchase and sale activity and maturities of investments and borrowings. The Investment Committee also consults with the Chief Operating Officer of the Bank regarding retail pricing and funding decisions with respect to the Bank's overall asset and liability composition. In accordance therewith, the Investment Committee reviews the Bank's liquidity, cash flow needs, maturities of investments, deposits and borrowings, core deposit activity, current market conditions and interest rates on both a local and national level. 25 The Investment Committee regularly reviews interest rate risk by reviewing analysis prepared by Smith Breeden with respect to the impact of alternative interest rate scenarios on net interest income and on the Bank's market value of portfolio equity ("MVPE"), which is defined as the net present value of an institution's existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments, and by evaluating such impact against the maximum potential changes in net interest income and MVPE that is authorized by the Board of Directors of the Bank. MVPE analysis is the general measure used by regulatory authorities for assessing an institution's interest rate risk. The extent to which assets will gain or lose value in relation to the gains or losses of liabilities and/or interest rate contracts determines the appreciation or depreciation in equity on a market-value basis. Such market value analysis is intended to evaluate the impact of immediate and sustained parallel interest-rate shifts of the current yield curve upon the market value of the current balance sheet. The Investment Committee also reviews analyses prepared by Smith Breeden with respect to the impact of changing market volatility, prepayment forecast error, changes in option-adjusted spreads and non-parallel yield curve shifts. In the absence of the Company's hedging activities, the MVPE of the Company would decline as a result of a general increase in market rates of interest. This decline would be due to the market values of the Company's assets being generally more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations than are the market values of the Company's liabilities due to the Company's investment in generally longer-term assets (such as loans and mortgage-backed and related securities) which are funded with shorter-term liabilities (such as short-term certificates of deposit and securities sold under agreements to repurchase). Consequently, the elasticity (i.e, the change in the market value of an asset or liability as a result of a change in interest rates) of the Company's assets is greater than the elasticity of its liabilities. Accordingly, the primary goal of the Company's asset and liability management policy is to effectively increase the elasticity of the Company's liabilities and/or effectively contract the elasticity of the Company's assets so that the respective elasticities are matched as closely as possible. This elasticity adjustment can be accomplished internally by restructuring the Company's balance sheet, or externally by adjusting the elasticities of the Company's assets and/or liabilities through the use of interest rate contracts, such as interest rate swaps, collars, caps, floors, options and futures. The Company's strategy is to hedge either internally through the use of longer-term certificates of deposits, FHLB advances and mortgage-backed derivative securities, or externally through the use of various interest rate contracts, which effectively adjust the elasticities of the Company's assets and liabilities. The foregoing strategies are more fully described below. Internal hedging through balance sheet restructuring generally involves either the attraction of longer-term funds (i.e., certificates of deposit or FHLB advances) or the investment in certain types of mortgage-backed derivative securities such as CMOs, residuals, interest-only and principal-only strips. Such mortgage-backed derivative securities often exhibit elasticity and convexity characteristics (i.e., respond differently to changes in interest rates) which the Company can utilize to hedge other components of the Company's portfolio. The Company had deposits of $114.8 million, $115.3 million and $108.3 million as of December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and had FHLB advances of $26.0 million, $31.0 million and $31.0 million as of December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The approximate market value of the Company's mortgage-backed derivative securities totalled $14.6 million, $21.2 million and $38.0 million as of such respective dates. External hedging involves the use of interest rate swaps, collars, caps, floors, options and futures. The notional amount of interest rate contracts represents the underlying amount of which periodic cash flows are calculated and exchanged between counterparties. However, this notional amount does not represent the principal amount of securities which would effectively be hedged by that interest rate contract. In selecting the type and amount of interest rate contract to utilize, the Company compares the elasticity of a particular contract, or its change in value for a 100 basis point movement in interest rates, to that of the securities to be hedged. An interest rate contract with the appropriate offsetting 26 elasticity may have a notional amount much greater than the face amount of the securities being hedged. This situation is particularly true in the case of interest rate futures. For example, the Company uses a significant amount of Eurodollar future contracts, which are based on 91-day instruments. One Eurodollar futures contract has a notional amount of $1.0 million, but a 100 basis point change in interest rates could result in only a $2,500 gain or loss in market values with respect to that contract. Since the underlying instrument has such a short maturity, its market value is much less sensitive to changes in interest rates than that of mortgages or other longer-term investments. On the other hand, a 10-year Treasury note futures contract has a notional amount of $100,000 but could have an average gain or loss of about $6,000 given a 100 basis point change in rates. If a mortgage gained or lost $18,000 for a 100 basis point change in rates, the applicable hedge might consist of seven Eurodollar futures contracts with a notional amount of $7.0 million or three 10-year Treasury note futures contracts with a notional amount of $300,000. An interest rate swap is an agreement where one party (generally the Company) agrees to pay a fixed-rate of interest on a notional principal amount to a second party (generally a broker) in exchange for receiving from the second party a variable-rate of interest on the same notional amount for a predetermined period of time. No actual assets are exchanged in a swap of this type and interest payments are generally netted. These swaps are generally utilized by the Company to synthetically convert fixed-rate assets into adjustable-rate assets without having to sell or transfer the underlying assets. At December 31, 1995, the Company was a party to 10 interest rate swap agreements. The agreements have an aggregate notional amount of approximately $81.0 million and expire from August 1996 to April 2001. With respect to the agreements whereby the Company pays a fixed-rate and receives a floating-rate (which constitute the majority of the agreements), the Company makes weighted average fixed interest payments ranging from 4.55% to 6.58% and receives payments based upon the three-month London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR"). The Company also has two swaps whereby it pays a floating-rate (based on three-month LIBOR) and receives a fixed-rate ranging from 6.12% to 6.96%. At December 31, 1995, three-month LIBOR was 5.66%. The net expense (income) relating to the Company's fixed-pay interest rate swaps (which are held in the Company's trading portfolio) was $(163,000), $(113,000), $1.3 million and $1.6 million during the six months ended December 31, 1995 and the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The approximate market value of the Company's fixed-pay interest rate swaps which are maintained in the trading portfolio was $(608,000), $(219,000) and $3.4 million as of December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company's two floating-pay swaps are not included in the Company's trading portfolio. These swaps are used to modify the interest rate sensitivity of certain certificates of deposit issued by the Bank. These certificates of deposit, called inverse variable-rate certificates, adjust according to a formula in such a way as to pay a higher rate of interest when the index falls, and a lower rate of interest when the index rises. The swaps protect the Company against the exposure to falling rates inherent in these certificates of deposit. The net (income) relating to the Company's floating-pay swaps (which are not held in the Company's trading portfolio) was $(60,000), $(158,000), $(596,000) and $(429,000) during the six months ended December 31, 1995 and the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. This income is netted against interest expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. The approximate market value of the Company's floating-pay interest rate swaps (which are not reflected in the Company's financial statements) was $471,000, $403,000 and $298,000 as of December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. See Notes 2 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. An interest rate cap and an interest rate floor consist of a guarantee given by one party, referred to as the issuer (i.e., a broker), to another party, referred to as the purchaser (i.e., the Company), in exchange for the payment of a premium, that if interest rates rise above (in the case of a cap) or fall below (in the case of a floor) a specified rate on a specified interest rate index, the issuer will pay to the 27 purchaser the difference between the then current market rate and the specified rate on a notional principal amount for a predetermined period of time. No funds are actually borrowed or repaid. Similarly, an interest rate collar is a combination of a purchased cap and a written floor at different rates. Accordingly, an interest rate collar requires no payments if interest rates remain within a specified range, but will require the Company to be paid if interest rates rise above the cap rate or require the Company to pay if interest rates fall below the floor rate. Consequently, interest rate caps are a means of reducing interest expense by placing a ceiling on the cost of floating-rate liabilities, such as reverse repurchase agreements, while interest rate floors permit the Company to maintain its desired interest rate spread in the event that falling interest rates lead to increased prepayments with respect to the Company's mortgage-backed and related securities portfolio. At December 31, 1995, the Company had purchased six interest rate cap agreements, five interest rate floor agreements and one interest rate collar, which expire from October 1996 to June 2004 and cover an aggregate notional amount of approximately $251.1 million. The interest rate cap agreements are triggered, depending on the particular contract, whenever the defined floating-rate exceeds 5.0% to 9.0%. The interest rate floor agreements are triggered, depending on the particular contract, whenever the defined floating-rate is less than 5.0% to 7.5%. The interest rate collar is triggered whenever the defined floating-rate is greater than 10.25% or less than 5.25%. The aggregate net expense (income) relating to the Company's interest rate caps, collars and floors was $(141,000), $58,000, $542,000 and $970,000 during the six months ended December 31, 1995 and the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The approximate market value of the Company's interest rate caps, collars and floors which are maintained in the trading portfolio was $5.5 million, $5.3 million and $4.9 million as of December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. See Notes 2 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Interest rate futures are commitments to either purchase or sell designated instruments at a future date for a specified price. Futures contracts are generally traded on an exchange, are marked to market daily and subject to initial and maintenance margin requirements. The Company generally uses 91-day Eurodollar certificates of deposit contracts ("Eurodollar futures contracts") which are priced off of LIBOR as well as Treasury Note futures contracts. The Company will from time to time agree to sell a specified number of contracts at a specified date. In order to close out a contract, the Company will enter into an offsetting position to the original transaction. If interest rates rise, the value of the Company's short futures positions increases. Consequently, sales of futures contracts serve as a hedge against rising interest rates. At December 31, 1995, the Company has sold Eurodollar and Treasury Note futures contracts with an aggregate notional amount of approximately $1.3 billion. The net expense relating to the Company's futures contracts was $4,000 and $39,000 for the years ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The approximate market value of the Company's interest rate futures contracts which are maintained in the trading portfolio was $(168,000), $(134,000) and $0 as of December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. See Notes 2 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Options are contracts which grant the purchaser the right to buy or sell the underlying asset by a certain date for a specified price. Generally the Company will purchase options on financial futures in order to hedge the changing elasticity exhibited by mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. The changing elasticity in this case results from the ability of a borrower to prepay a mortgage. As market rates of interest decline, it becomes more likely that borrowers will prepay their mortgages and the elasticity of the mortgages will shorten. Consequently, where interest rates are declining, the value of mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities will increase at a slower rate than would be expected if borrowers did not have the ability to prepay their mortgages. Accordingly, the Company will generally purchase out-of-the-money calls and puts so that the increase in value of the options resulting from interest rate movements offset the reductions in MVPE resulting from the changing elasticity inherent in the Company's balance sheet. At December 31, 1995, the Company had 175 purchased options contracts covering an aggregate notional amount of approximately $17.5 million. The net expense 28 relating to the Company's options contracts was $418,000, $148,000, $0 and $22,000 during the six months ended December 31, 1995 and the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The approximate market value of the Company's options contracts which are maintained in the trading portfolio was $127,000, $200,000 and $0 as of December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. See Notes 2 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table summarizes the periodic exchanges of interest payments with counterparties and the amortization of premiums paid for interest rate contracts maintained in the trading portfolio as discussed above. Such payments and amortization amounts are accounted for as adjustments to the yields of securities held for trading, and are reported as a separate component of interest income.

Such gains and losses are generally offset by fluctuations in the market value of the Company's assets held for trading. All realized and unrealized gains and losses pertaining to interest rate contracts in the trading portfolio are reported as other income in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. See Notes 2 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In engaging in the Company's asset and liability management activities, the Company is subject to the risk that the counterparties with respect to which it enters into various interest rate contracts (such as swaps, collar, caps, floors, options and futures) may default at or prior to maturity of a particular instrument. In such a case, the Company might be unable to recover any unrealized gains with respect to a particular contract. In order to minimize this potential risk, the Company generally deals with large, established investment brokerage firms when entering into these transactions. In addition, if the Company enters into an interest rate contract with a non AA-rated (or above) entity and the Company has an unrealized gain with respect to such contract, the Company generally requires the entity to post some form of collateral in order to secure its obligations. Furthermore, the Company has a policy whereby it limits its unsecured exposure to any one counterparty to 25% of the Bank's equity during any two-month period and 35% of the Bank's equity during any one-month period. At December 31, 1995, the Company had interest rate contracts with 10 entities, and the largest unsecured exposure to any one counterparty amounted to 9.2% of the Bank's equity. For a discussion of certain other risks inherent with respect to the purchaser and/or sale of interest rate contracts (such as basis risk, prepayment risk, interest rate risk and volatility risk), see "Risk Factors--Use of Interest Rate Contracts and Other Derivatives." The Company's total portfolio income, which includes net interest income after provision for loan losses, realized and unrealized gains and losses with respect to the Company's securities portfolio (which includes mortgage-backed derivative securities and interest rate contracts), approximates the net effect of the Company's management of its assets and liabilities. Total portfolio income for the six months ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 amounted to $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, and for the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 amounted to $6.0 million, $3.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively. 29 The OTS requires each thrift institution to calculate the estimated change in the institution's MVPE assuming an instantaneous, parallel shift in the Treasury yield curve of 100 to 400 basis points either up or down. The OTS permits institutions to perform this MVPE analysis using their own internal model (based upon reasonable assumptions), or they may utilize the OTS' model, which is based upon data submitted in the institution's quarterly thrift financial reports. The Company uses Smith Breeden's model to perform the required calculation of the sensitivity of its market value to changes in interest rates. Both Smith Breeden and the OTS use option-adjusted pricing analysis and present value calculations of estimated cash flows through the use of simulation models. Nevertheless, the results of the OTS model may vary from Smith Breeden's model primarily due to differences between assumptions utilized in the two models, including estimated interest rates and volatilities, prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and decay rates. In addition, the Smith Breeden model utilizes detailed data with respect to individual loans and securities while the OTS model uses aggregated data with respect to similar instruments. The OTS reviews the Smith Breeden analysis in conjunction with its regular examinations of the Bank. With the assistance of Smith Breeden, the Company uses market value analysis to perform the required calculation of the sensitivity of its MVPE to changes in interest rates. In order to calculate the respective market values, the Company utilizes a simulation model which generates a variety of interest rate paths based upon a current yield curve scenario and assumed interest rate volatility factors. The model projects the cash flows for each path with respect to the Bank's assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments under each interest rate scenario. Each path's cash flows are then discounted to the present. The average of the market values under each interest rate path (as discounted to the present) calculated by the model represents the estimated market value of a particular instrument for a particular interest rate scenario. In estimating the market value of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, the Company utilizes various prepayment assumptions which vary, in accordance with historical experience, based upon the term, interest rate and other factors with respect to the underlying loans. At December 31, 1995, such prepayment assumptions varied from 5% for fixed-rate mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities carrying below market yields to 30% for fixed-rate mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities carrying above market yields. Adjustable-rate mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities were estimated to prepay at rates ranging from 17% to 36% over the life of the particular loan and/or security. With respect to deposit accounts which do not have a defined maturity date (such as NOW, checking and savings accounts), the Company assumes various decay rates which reflect a variety of interest rate scenarios. For example, if short-term market rates of interest increase, the Company would expect a portion of its lower yielding NOW and savings accounts to be withdrawn and reinvested into higher yielding certificates of deposit and money market deposit accounts. At December 31, 1995, assumed decay rates ranged from 5% to 40%. 30 The following table sets forth at December 31, 1995 the estimated sensitivity of the Bank's MVPE to parallel yield curve shifts using the Company's market value analysis (with the assistance of Smith Breeden). The table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Bank's assets and liabilities both before and after the inclusion of its interest rate contracts.

(2) Based on the Bank's pre-tax MVPE of $21.5 million at December 31, 1995. As discussed under "Supervision and Regulation--The Bank--Regulatory Capital Requirements," the OTS adopted a final rule in August 1993 incorporating an interest rate risk component into the risk-based capital rules. Under the rule, an institution with a greater than "normal" level of interest rate risk will be subject to a deduction of its interest rate component from total capital for purposes of calculating the risk-based capital requirement. An institution with a greater than "normal" interest rate risk is defined as an institution that would suffer a loss of MVPE exceeding 2.0% of the estimated market value of its assets in the event of a 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates. A resulting change in MVPE of more than 2% of the estimated market value of an institution's assets will require the institution to deduct from its capital 50% of that excess change. Although the OTS has recently indicated that no institution will be required to deduct capital for interest rate risk until further notice, if such requirement had been in effect at December 31, 1995 the Bank would not have been subject to any additional capital requirement. See "Supervision and Regulation--The Bank--Regulatory Capital Requirements." The table set forth above does not purport to show the impact of interest rate changes on the Company's equity under generally accepted accounting principles. Market value changes only impact the Company's income statement or the balance sheet (i) to the extent the affected instruments are marked to market, and (ii) over the life of the instruments as an impact on recorded yields. Since a large portion of the Company's assets is recorded at market value, the following table is included to show the estimated impact on the Company's equity of instantaneous, parallel shifts in the yield curve. The assets and interest rate contracts included in the table below are only those which are either classified by the Company as held for trading or available for sale and, therefore, reflected at market value. Consequently, the Company's liabilities, which are reflected at cost, are not included in the table below. All amounts are shown net of taxes, with an estimated effective tax rate of 36.0%.

Similarly, as the tables demonstrate, a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in a $48,000 or 0.2% increase in the MVPE of the Bank and an after-tax gain with respect to the Company's equity of $99,000 or 0.9%. However, management of the Company believes that the actual loss in MVPE or equity due to an increase in interest rates would be less than shown in the tables above because recent empirical studies indicate that market spreads may tighten (resulting in higher relative market values) as interest rates rise. In addition, the tables above assume an instantaneous, parallel change in rates which is highly unlikely. As rates tend to increase or decrease over time, management expects to be able to actively manage its portfolio in order to respond to such changes over time. Although management of the Company believes that all of the assumptions used in the foregoing analysis to evaluate the vulnerability of the Company's operations to changes in interest rates approximate actual experience and considers them reasonable, the interest rate sensitivity of the Company's assets and liabilities and the estimated effects of changes in interest rates on the Bank's MVPE and the Company's equity indicated in the above tables could vary substantially if different assumptions were used or if actual experience differs from the projections on which they are based. CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION General. At December 31, 1995, the Company's total assets amounted to $307.4 million, as compared to $300.2 million and $211.7 million at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase in total assets during the periods was primarily due to the completion in fiscal 1995 of the Company's private placement of Common Stock, which raised $2.4 million in net proceeds. The proceeds from the offering permitted the Company to utilize the capital raised by purchasing additional mortgage-backed securities funded primarily by securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Cash and Interest-Bearing Deposits. Cash and interest-bearing deposits amounted to $10.9 million, $5.7 million and $10.4 million at December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company actively manages its cash and cash equivalents based upon the Company's operating, investing and financing activities. Based upon the Company's current size, cash and cash equivalents generally fluctuate within a range of $4.0 million to $15.0 million. The Company generally attempts to invest its excess liquidity into higher yielding assets such as loans or securities. At December 31, 1995, the Bank's regulatory liquidity amounted to 5.19% (which exceeded the minimum OTS requirement of 5.00% by $509,000), as compared to 5.36% and 7.95% at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. See "--Liquidity and Capital Resources." Securities Held for Trading and Available for Sale. In order to limit the Company's credit risk exposure and to earn a positive interest rate spread, the Company maintains a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed and related securities, which are primarily issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or government sponsored enterprises. At December 31, 1995, the Company's investment in mortgage-backed and related securities amounted to $226.2 million or 97.2% of the Company's securities portfolio (both held for trading and available for sale) and 73.6% of the Company's total assets. Although mortgage-backed and related securities often carry lower yields than traditional mortgage loans, such securities generally increase the quality of the Company's assets by virtue of the securities' underlying insurance or guarantees, are more liquid than individual mortgage loans (which enhances the Company's ability to actively manage its portfolio) and may be used to collateralize borrowings or other obligations of the Company. Moreover, as a result of the Company maintaining a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed and related securities, the Company has been able to maintain a relatively low level of operating expenses. 32 On June 30, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 115, which addresses the accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities. See "--Recent Accounting Pronouncements" and "Business--Investment Activities." Upon adoption of SFAS No. 115, the Company classified all of its securities as available for sale. However, during fiscal 1994, in recognition of the Company's business strategy of actively managing its portfolio, the Company reclassified substantially all of its securities as held for trading. At December 31, 1995, the only securities held by the Company in its available for sale portfolio consisted of a $1.2 million non-agency mortgage-backed security which is currently classified as substandard and $1.1 million of municipal bonds. See "Business--Asset Quality--Classified Assets." Pursuant to SFAS No. 115, securities classified as trading securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings, and securities classified as available for sale are similarly reported at fair value, but with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and instead reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Securities held for trading (consisting of mortgage-backed securities, mortgage-backed derivative securities, interest rate contracts and equity securities) amounted to $230.3 million, $246.7 million and $170.9 million at December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 1995, securities held for trading declined by $16.4 million or 6.6%, due primarily to reductions in mortgage-backed securities and mortgage-backed derivative securities. Such declines reflected the Company's increased emphasis on loan origination activities (both directly and through correspondents) during the period. During the year ended June 30, 1995, securities held for trading increased significantly by $75.8 million or 44.4%, due primarily to an increase in mortgage-backed securities, which was partially offset by a decline in mortgage-backed derivative securities. The increase in mortgage-backed securities during fiscal 1995 reflected the utilization of the capital associated with the January 1995 completion of the Company's private placement, which raised $2.4 million in net proceeds. Securities classified as available for sale (consisting of a non-agency mortgage-backed security and municipal bonds) remained relatively stable at the end of the periods covered, and amounted to $2.3 million, $2.5 million and $3.4 million at December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The $255,000 or 10.0% decrease during the six months ended December 31, 1995 was due primarily to a $205,000 decline in the non-agency participation certificate which was substantially a result of regular principal repayments. The $887,000 or 25.9% decrease during fiscal 1995 was due primarily to a $868,000 or 38.0% decline in the non-agency mortgage-backed security partially due to regular principal repayments and a $414,000 permanent impairment write-down with respect to such security.

At December 31, 1995, loans receivable (net of the Company's allowance for loan losses) amounted to $55.9 million or 18.2% of total assets, as compared to $37.0 million or 12.3% and $20.7 million or 9.8% as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Since fiscal 1993, the Company has actively attempted to increase its retail banking operations, particularly the origination (both directly and through correspondent mortgage banking companies) of single-family residential loans to individuals residing in eastern and central Indiana. As a result, loans receivable increased by $18.9 million or 51.1% and $16.3 million or 78.9% during the six months ended December 31, 1995 and the year ended June 30, 1995, respectively. The increase during the six months ended December 31, 1995 was primarily due to $10.4 million of direct loan originations ($9.7 million of which consisted of single-family residential loans) and $15.4 million of correspondent loan originations (all of which consisted of single-family residential loans), which were partially offset by principal repayments of $7.1 million. The increase in loans receivable during fiscal 1995 was primarily due to direct loan originations of $11.7 million ($9.1 million of which consisted of single-family residential loans) and $9.8 million of correspondent loan originations (all of which consisted of single-family residential loans), which were partially offset by $5.3 million of principal repayments. Beginning in fiscal 1995, the Company began originating single-family residential loans through correspondent mortgage banking companies headquartered in 33 Prairie Village, Kansas and Indianapolis, Indiana. Currently, the Company is continuing its relationship with the Indianapolis firm and desires to expand further its originations of single-family residential loans through the use of additional correspondent mortgage banking companies located within central Indiana. See "Business--Lending Activities--Origination, Purchase and Sale of Loans." Allowance for Loan Losses. At December 31, 1995, the Company's allowance for loan losses totalled $120,000, which represented a $1,000 or 0.8% decrease and a $14,000 or 13.2% increase from the levels maintained at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. At December 31, 1995, the Company's allowance represented approximately 0.2% of the total loan portfolio and 33.0% of total non-performing loans, as compared to 0.3% and 34.6% at June 30, 1995 and 0.5% and 19.0% at June 30, 1994, respectively. The ratio of total non-performing loans to total loans amounted to 0.7% at December 31, 1995, as compared to 1.0% and 2.7% at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, which reflects the Company's emphasis on reducing credit risk with respect to its operations. Although management of the Company believes that its allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1995 was adequate based on facts and circumstances available to it (including the historically low level of loan charge-offs), there can be no assurances that additions to such allowance will not be necessary in future periods, particularly if the growth in the Company's retail banking operations continues, which could adversely affect the Company's results of operations. Deposits. At December 31, 1995, deposits totalled $114.8 million, as compared to $115.3 million and $108.3 million as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company attempts to reduce its overall funding costs by evaluating all potential sources of funds (including retail and non-retail deposits and short and long-term borrowings) and identifying which particular source will result in an all-in cost to the Company that meets its funding benchmark. At the same time, the Bank has attempted to price the deposits offered through its branch system in order to promote retail deposit growth and offer a wide array of deposit products to satisfy its customers. In addition to providing a cost-efficient funding source, these retail deposits provide a source of fee income and the ability to cross-sell other products or services. As a result, retail deposits (including transaction accounts and retail certificates of deposit) have increased from $52.0 million or 48.1% of total deposits at June 30, 1994 to $84.9 million or 73.9% of total deposits at December 31, 1995. See "Business--Sources of Funds--Deposits." Borrowings. Since fiscal 1995, securities sold under agreements to repurchase (consisting of agreements to purchase on a specified later date the same securities or substantially identical securities (the latter of which are referred to as "dollar rolls") (collectively, "reverse repurchase agreements")) have constituted the Company's primary source of funds. At December 31, 1995, reverse repurchase agreements totalled $141.4 million, as compared to $130.2 million and $54.7 million as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The $11.2 million or 8.6% increase during the six months ended December 31, 1995 and the $75.6 million or 138.3% increase during the year ended June 30, 1995 was principally due to the utilization of the capital raised in the Company's fiscal 1995 private placement through the purchase of mortgage-backed securities funded primarily by reverse repurchase agreements. At December 31, 1995, the average rate paid on reverse repurchase agreements amounted to 6.0%, as compared to 6.0% and 4.1% at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Although a substantial portion of the Company's growth in recent periods has been funded by reverse repurchase agreements, part of management's strategy is to gradually replace such borrowings with retail deposits. Retail deposits are considered to be a cost-effective source of funds, provide the Company with an additional source of fee income and permit the Company to cross-sell additional products and services. See "Business--Sources of Funds--Borrowings." Advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis amounted to $26.0 million, $31.0 million and $31.0 million as of December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. At December 31, 1995, all $26.0 million of FHLB advances were scheduled to mature in 1997, with an average interest rate thereon of 5.9%, as compared to 6.1% and 4.3% at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. See "Business--Sources of Funds--Borrowings." 34 The Company's note payable amounted to $9.5 million, $9.2 million and $7.9 million at December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Proceeds from the note payable have been contributed to the Bank in order to increase the Bank's capital, thereby permitting the Company to increase the Bank's originations of single-family residential loans and purchases of mortgage-backed and related securities. The note payable relates to a loan facility which was used to refinance, to a significant extent, the unpaid balance of a $10.0 million acquisition loan which financed the Company's acquisition of the Bank. The loan facility, as amended in 1995, includes a $9.2 million term loan and a non-revolving line of credit of $800,000. The increase in the balance of the loan facility since June 30, 1994 reflects subsequent draws by the Company with respect to the line of credit which were utilized to increase the Bank's capital and provide additional funds for its operations. The loan facility matures in March 2000 (which can, under certain circumstances, be extended for an additional five years) and carries an interest rate of 1/2% over the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal if the ratio of the loan balance to the Bank's capital is equal to or less than 50%; otherwise, the interest rate is 1% over the prime rate. The loan facility requires quarterly principal and interest repayments. The loan facility is secured by (i) a general pledge agreement between the parties pursuant to which the Company has pledged 100% of the outstanding stock of the Bank; (ii) a security agreement between the parties pursuant to which the Company has provided a blanket security interest in all of its assets; (iii) a guaranty from Smith Breeden and from Douglas T. Breeden, the Chairman of the Board of Smith Breeden (and of the Company), personally; and (iv) the assignment of life insurance policies on Messrs. Breeden and Cerny by the Company in the aggregate amount of $1.25 million. An April 1996 amendment to the loan facility, which is effective solely upon consummation of the Offering, would recharacterize the aggregate $9.3 million principal balance outstanding as a term loan and provide an additional $3.0 million non-revolving line of credit which is intended to further increase the capital of the Bank. Among certain modifications, the guarantees of Smith Breeden and Douglas T. Breeden, referenced above, would be removed. See "Business--Sources of Funds--Borrowings." Stockholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity increased from $5.9 million at June 30, 1994 to $10.4 million at June 30, 1995 and further increased to $11.0 million at December 31, 1995. These increases were due to (i) $927,000, $1.9 million and $543,000 of net income recognized during fiscal 1994 and 1995 and the six months ended December 31, 1995, respectively; (ii) $2.4 million in net proceeds from the fiscal 1995 private placement of Common Stock; and (iii) $101,000 and $165,000 raised in connection with the exercise of existing stock options during fiscal 1995 and the six months ended December 31, 1995, respectively. In addition, at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995, the Company's stockholders' equity included $61,000 and $2,000, respectively, of unrealized gains on securities classified as available for sale, net of deferred taxes. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Summary of Earnings. The Company reported net income of $543,000 or $0.28 per share for the six months ended December 31, 1995, compared to $770,000 or $0.54 per share for the six months ended December 31, 1994. This $227,000 or 29.5% decrease in net income during the six months ended December 31, 1995, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was due to a $227,000 increase in total other expense and a $590,000 decrease in total other income, which were partially offset by a $409,000 increase in net interest income, a $22,000 reduction in the provision for loan losses and a $160,000 decrease in the income tax provision. Net income for the year ended June 30, 1995 was $1.9 million or $1.20 per share, compared to $927,000 or $0.66 per share during the year ended June 30, 1994. The $926,000 or 99.8% increase in net income was due to a $2.8 million increase in total other income and, to a much lesser extent, the absence of a $79,000 cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for deferred income taxes which was recognized during fiscal 1994, which more than offset a $780,000 increase in the income tax 35 provision, a $647,000 increase in total other expense, a $542,000 decrease in net interest income and a $17,000 increase in the provision for loan losses. Net income for the year ended June 30, 1994 was $927,000 or $0.66 per share, compared to a net loss of $130,000 or $0.09 per share during the year ended June 30, 1993. The $1.1 million increase in net income was due to a $1.6 million increase in net interest income (reflecting $1.5 million of non-recurring interest earned from the call of two mortgage-backed residuals), a $531,000 decrease in losses from securities activities, a $230,000 decrease in total other expense (reflecting the Company's write-off of $663,000 of goodwill and core deposit intangible during fiscal 1993) and a $69,000 decline in the provision for loan losses, which were partially offset by a $203,000 increase in the income tax provision and a $79,000 charge recognized during fiscal 1994 relating to the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for deferred income taxes. Average Balances, Net Interest Income and Yields Earned and Rates Paid. The following table presents for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest from average interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates, and the net interest margin. The table does not reflect any effect of income taxes. All average balances are based on average month end balances for the Company and average daily balances for the Bank during the periods presented. 36 SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- 1995 1994 1995 -------------------------------- ----------------------------- ---------------------------- AVERAGE YIELD/ AVERAGE YIELD/ AVERAGE YIELD/ BALANCE INTEREST RATE(1)(2) BALANCE INTEREST RATE(2) BALANCE INTEREST RATE -------- -------- ---------- -------- -------- ------- -------- -------- ------ (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS Interest-bearing deposits...... $ 13,604 $ 388 5.70% $ 10,886 $ 267 4.91% $ 11,493 $ 603 5.25% Securities held for trading(3)(4)................... 238,668 9,028 7.57 170,901 6,020 7.05 185,014 14,332 7.75 Securities available for sale(3)......................... 2,818 102 7.24 3,392 130 7.67 3,110 250 8.04 Loans receivable, net(5)....... 45,548 1,934 8.49 21,777 947 8.70 25,467 2,223 8.73 FHLB stock..................... 2,500 101 8.08 1,843 59 6.40 2,172 152 7.00 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total interest-earning assets.......................... 303,138 11,553 7.62% 208,799 7,423 7.11% 227,256 17,560 7.73% ----- ------- ------ ----- ------- ------ Non-interest-earning assets 14,472 13,224 15,654 -------- -------- -------- Total assets................. $317,610 $222,023 $242,910 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES Deposits: NOW and checking accounts.... $ 3,476 52 2.99% $ 3,460 49 2.83% $ 3,352 94 2.80% Savings accounts............. 15,185 289 3.81 16,636 283 3.40 16,068 568 3.53 Money market deposit accounts........................ 1,791 39 4.36 2,258 42 3.72 2,147 88 4.10 Certificates of deposit...... 100,797 3,138 6.23 92,420 2,460 5.32 99,443 5,904 5.94 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total deposits................. 121,249 3,518 5.80 114,774 2,834 4.94 121,010 6,654 5.50 Securities sold under agreements to repurchase..... 140,058 4,127 5.89 55,690 1,302 4.68 68,277 3,654 5.35 FHLB advances.................. 29,172 876 6.01 31,000 777 5.01 31,051 1,722 5.55 Note payable................... 9,800 475 9.69 7,755 362 9.34 7,890 749 9.49 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total interest-bearing liabilities..................... 300,279 8,996 5.99% 209,219 5,275 5.04% 228,228 12,779 5.60% -------- ----- -------- ------- -------- ------ ----- ------- ------ Non-interest-bearing liabilities..................... 6,533 6,074 6,349 -------- -------- -------- Total liabilities.............. 306,812 215,293 234,577 Stockholders' equity............ 10,798 6,730 8,333 -------- -------- -------- Total liabilities and stockholders' equity............ $317,610 $222,023 $242,910 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Net interest income;

securities held for trading, 7.74%; securities available for sale, 6.85%; loans receivable, net, 7.91%; FHLB stock, 8.00%; total interest-earning assets, 7.68%; deposits, 5.83%; securities sold under agreements to repurchase, 6.00%; FHLB advances, 5.87%; note payable, 9.36%; total interest-bearing liabilities, 6.03%; interest rate spread, 1.65%. (2) Yields and rates for the six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 have been annualized. (3) Both the interest and yields earned on the Company's securities portfolio reflect the net interest expense incurred with respect to various interest rate contracts (such as interest rate swaps, collars, caps, floors, options and futures) which were utilized to hedge the Company's interest rate exposure. During the six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, the net costs of hedging the Company's interest rate exposure with respect to its securities held for trading amounted to $114,000 or 0.10%, $418,000 or 0.49%, $93,000 or 0.05% and $1.9 million or 1.15%, respectively. During fiscal 1993, the net costs of hedging the Company's interest rate exposure with respect to its securities available for sale amounted to $2.6 million or 1.51%. (4) During fiscal 1994, interest earned on securities held for trading reflected $1.5 million of non-recurring interest earned from the call of two mortgage-backed residuals. Excluding this non-recurring income, the Company's interest rate spread and net interest margin would have amounted to 1.87% and 1.88%, respectively. (5) Net of deferred loan fees, loan discounts and undisbursed loan funds. Includes nonaccrual loans. Interest on nonaccrual loans is recorded when received. (6) Excluding the costs of hedging the Company's interest rate exposure (which has effectively reduced the yields earned on the Company's securities portfolio), the Company's interest rate spread amounted to 1.71%, 2.47%, 2.17%, 3.57% and 3.06% and the Company's net interest margin amounted to 1.76%, 2.46%, 2.14%, 3.58% and 3.08% for the six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. (7) Net interest margin is net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. 37 Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table describes the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in volume of interest-related assets and liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior year rate), (ii) changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year volume), and (iii) total change in rate and volume. The combined effect of changes in both rate and volume has been allocated in proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of the changes due to rate and volume.

Six Months Ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. Net interest income is determined by the Company's interest rate spread (i.e., the difference between the yields earned on its interest-earning assets and the rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities) and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. For the six months ended December 31, 1995, the Company's net interest income increased by $409,000 or 19.0%, to $2.6 million, compared to the same period in 1994. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the amount of average interest-earning assets by 45.2%, and an increase in the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities, from 99.80% to 100.95%, primarily due to the large increases in the average balances of securities held for trading and loans and an increase in the percentage of average interest-earning assets consisting of loans (which tend to earn a higher yield), which was partially offset by a 44 basis point decline (with 100 basis points equalling 1.0%) in the Company's interest rate spread (from 2.07% to 1.63%). The decline in the Company's interest rate spread during the period was primarily due to the Bank reinvesting the capital raised in the Company's fiscal 1995 private placement through the purchase of highly liquid but lower yielding mortgage-backed and related securities, which were funded primarily through reverse repurchase agreements. Total interest income increased by $4.1 million or 55.6% during the six months ended December 31, 1995, as compared to the same period in the prior year, due primarily to a $3.0 million or 48.5% increase in interest income (net of costs relating to interest rate contracts) on securities held for trading and available for sale, the largest component of the Company's interest-earning assets, and to a 38 $987,000 or 104.2% increase in interest income on loans. The average balance of securities held for trading increased by $67.8 million, reflecting management's decision to deploy the additional capital raised in the Company's fiscal 1995 private placement by purchasing additional mortgage-backed securities, which were funded primarily through reverse repurchase agreements. In addition, the average yield earned on securities held for trading increased by 52 basis points, reflecting, among other things, a 39 basis point decrease in hedging costs (from 49 to 10 basis points) over the comparable period. Such costs reflect the net interest expense incurred with respect to various interest rate contracts (such as interest rate swaps, collars, caps, floors, options and futures) which are utilized by the Company to hedge its interest rate exposure.

The increase in interest income on loans was due to a $23.8 million increase in the average balance of loans receivable, which reflected increased loans originated (both directly and through correspondents) during the period. During fiscal 1993, in order to increase its portfolio of single-family residential loans, the Company stopped selling loans in the secondary market, increased its direct origination of single-family residential loans and, beginning in fiscal 1995, began originating single-family residential loans through select correspondents. Total interest expense increased by $3.7 million or 70.5% during the six months ended December 31, 1995, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increases in the average balances of deposits and reverse repurchase agreements as well as increases in the average rates paid thereon. Interest expense on deposits increased by $684,000 or 24.1%, due primarily to an increase in the average rates paid on deposits (primarily certificates of deposit) of 86 basis points and a $6.5 million increase in the average balance of deposits (primarily non-retail certificates of deposit). Interest expense on reverse repurchase agreements increased significantly by $2.8 million or 217.2% during the six months ended December 31, 1995, primarily due to an $84.4 million increase in the average balance of such borrowings (which were utilized primarily to purchase mortgage-backed securities during the period) and, to a much lesser extent, an increase in the average rate paid thereon of 121 basis points. The increases in the average rates paid on deposits and reverse repurchase agreements reflected the increase in market rates of interest during the period. Years Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994. For the year ended June 30, 1995, the Company's net interest income amounted to $4.8 million, compared to $5.3 million for the year ended June 30, 1994. The $542,000 or 10.2% decrease was primarily due to a 51 basis point decline in the Company's interest rate spread, from 2.64% to 2.13%, as the increase in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities more than offset increases in the average balances of interest-earning assets and the yields earned thereon. A principal reason for the decrease in the interest rate spread was the $1.5 million of non-recurring interest earned during fiscal 1994 due to the call of two mortgage-backed residuals during the year. Excluding this non-recurring income, the Company's interest rate spread would have increased by 26 basis points during the year. Total interest income increased by $4.0 million or 29.1% between fiscal 1995 and 1994, due to a $3.3 million or 29.0% increase in interest income (net of costs relating to interest rate contracts) on securities held for trading and available for sale, a $446,000 or 25.1% increase in interest income on loans and a $232,000 or 44.4% increase in interest and dividends on other interest-earning assets. The increase in interest earned on securities held for trading and available for sale was due to a 104 basis point increase in the average yield earned thereon (reflecting, among other things, a 110 basis point decrease in hedging costs (from 115 to 5 basis points)), together with $21.2 million net increase in the average balance of such securities. The increase in interest income on loans was due to a $6.1 million increase in the average balance of loans, which reflected increased loans originated, while the increase in interest and dividends on other interest-earning assets was due primarily to a 192 basis point increase in the average yield earned thereon, which reflected the general increase in market rates of interest during the year. 39 Total interest expense increased by $4.5 million or 54.3% during fiscal 1995, due primarily to an increase in the average balance of deposits as well as to an increase in the average rates paid on all interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense on deposits increased by $2.1 million or 47.4%, due primarily to a $25.1 million increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit (primarily retail certificates of deposit) and, to a lesser extent, a 79 basis point increase in the average rate paid on deposits (primarily certificates of deposit). Interest expense on FHLB advances increased by $664,000 or 62.8% during fiscal 1995, due to a 214 basis point increase in the average rate paid thereon, while interest expense on reverse repurchase agreements increased by $1.5 million or 71.3% during fiscal 1995, due primarily to a 216 basis point increase in the average rate paid thereon. Interest expense on note payable increased by $172,000 or 29.7% during fiscal 1995, due to a 151 basis point increase in the average rate paid thereon and, to a lesser extent, a $663,000 increase in the average balance (reflecting additional draws on the Company's line of credit). The increases in the average rates paid on such borrowings reflected the general increase in market rates of interest. Years Ended June 30, 1994 and 1993. Net interest income amounted to $5.3 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, compared to $3.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1993. The $1.6 million or 41.2% increase was primarily due to an 85 basis point increase in the Company's interest rate spread (from 1.79% to 2.64%), which reflected the $1.5 million of non-recurring interest earned during fiscal 1994 from the call of two mortgage-backed residuals during the year. Total interest income increased by $861,000 or 6.8% during fiscal 1994 over the prior fiscal year. The primary contributor to the increase was a $1.2 million or 12.2% increase in interest income (net of costs relating to interest rate contracts) on securities held for trading and available for sale, primarily due to a 99 basis point increase in the average yield earned thereon, which reflected, among other things, a 36 basis point decrease in hedging costs (from 151 to 115 basis points) and the $1.5 million of non-recurring interest earned during fiscal 1994 from the call of two mortgage-backed residuals. Interest income on loans decreased by $297,000 or 14.3% during fiscal 1994 over the prior fiscal year, due primarily to a decrease in the average yield earned of 150 basis points, while interest and dividends on other interest-earning assets decreased by $69,000 or 11.7%. Total interest expense decreased by $691,000 or 7.7% during fiscal 1994 over the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a decrease in the average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which more than offset an increase in the average balance of FHLB advances. Interest expense on deposits decreased by $423,000 or 8.6%, due primarily to a 64 basis point reduction in the average rate paid on deposits (primarily certificates of deposit). Interest expense on FHLB advances increased by $254,000 or 31.6% during fiscal 1994, due primarily to a $6.3 million increase in the average balance. Interest expense on reverse repurchase agreements decreased by $517,000 or 19.5% during fiscal 1994, due primarily to a $15.8 million reduction in the average balance, which reflected the increased use of FHLB advances as well as an overall reduction in asset size. Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance to a level considered appropriate by management based on the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company's market area, historical loan loss experience and other factors related to the collectability of the Company's loan portfolio. While management endeavors to use the best information available in making its evaluations, future allowance adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions change substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations. The Company established provisions (recoveries) for loan losses of $(1,000), $21,000, $15,000, $(3,000) and $66,000, during the six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. During such respective periods, loan charge-offs (net of recoveries) amounted to $0, $0, $0, $47,000 and $9,000, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a 40 percentage of total non-performing loans was 33.0%, 25.1%, 35.0%, 19.0% and 30.0% at December 31, 1995 and 1994 and June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.2%, 0.5%, 0.3%, 0.5% and 0.9% at December 31, 1995 and 1994 and June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Although the Company's allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans has declined since June 30, 1993 and the Company's allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total non-performing loans has declined since June 30, 1995, management believes that its allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1995, was adequate based upon, among other things, the significant level of single-family residential loans within the Company's portfolio (as compared to multi-family residential, commercial real estate and consumer loans, which are considered by management to carry a higher degree of credit risk), the modest level of non-performing loans generally and the low level of loan charge-offs with respect to the Company's loan portfolio. Nevertheless, there can be no assurances that additions to such allowance will not be necessary in future periods, particularly if the growth in the Company's retail banking operations continues, which could adversely affect the Company's results of operations. Other Income. Total other income has fluctuated considerably over the periods presented, due to the Company's active management of its securities portfolio, which is intended to enhance both net interest income as well as other income by capitalizing on changes in option-adjusted spreads, as well as the Company's utilization of market value accounting. The following table sets forth information regarding other income for the periods shown. SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, ---------------- --------------------------- 1995 1994 1995 1994 1993 ------- ----- ------ ------- ------ (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Gain (loss) on sale of securities held for trading.......................................... $(2,621) $(338) $ 66 $(2,169) $ -- Gain on sale of securities available for sale.... -- -- -- 392 1,384 Unrealized gain on securities held for trading... 2,452 750 1,535 710 -- Permanent impairment of securities available for sale............................................. -- -- (414) (610) (2,531) Other(1)......................................... 114 123 238 267 249 ------- ----- ------ ------- ------ Total other income............................. $ (55) $ 535 $1,425 $(1,410) $ (898) ------- ----- ------ ------- ------ ------- ----- ------ ------- ------ - - - ------------ (1) Consists primarily of loan servicing fees, service charges on NOW and checking accounts, late charges and fees, ATM charges, fees from the Company's trust and investment management services, rental income and other miscellaneous fees. Management's goal is to attempt to offset any change in the market value of its securities portfolio by the change in the market value of the interest rate contracts and mortgage-backed derivative securities utilized by the Company to hedge its interest rate exposure. In addition, management attempts to report an overall gain with respect to its securities portfolio through the use of option- adjusted pricing analysis which the Company utilizes in order to select securities with wider spreads for purchase, and as spreads tighten, to sell these securities for a gain (net of the gain or loss recognized with respect to related interest rate contracts). Total other income amounted to a loss of $55,000 during the six months ended December 31, 1995, representing a $590,000 or 110.3% decline over the prior comparable period, due primarily to $2.6 million of losses on the sale of securities held for trading, which was partially offset by $2.4 million of unrealized gains on securities held for trading. The $535,000 of total other income recognized during the six months ended December 31, 1994 was due primarily to $750,000 of unrealized gains on securities held for trading, which was partially offset by $338,000 of losses on the sale of securities held for trading. The unrealized gains on securities held for trading reflected the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 115, which requires that unrealized gains and losses with respect to trading securities be 41 recognized in other income in the period in which such unrealized gains or losses occur. Such unrealized gains not only represent fluctuations with respect to the value of the Company's mortgage-backed and related securities, but also represent fluctuations with respect to the values of the various interest rate contracts the Company utilizes to hedge its interest rate exposure. See "--Asset and Liability Management." Total other income amounted to $1.4 million during the year ended June 30, 1995, primarily due to $1.5 million of unrealized gains on securities held for trading which was partially offset by a $414,000 charge relating to the permanent impairment of securities classified as available for sale. Pursuant to SFAS No. 115, if a security classified as available for sale experiences a decline in value below the amortized cost of the security and such decline is determined to be other than temporary (e.g., it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security), the cost basis of the security is required to be written down to fair value and the amount of the write-down included in earnings. As a result, during fiscal 1995, the Company recorded $414,000 of such impairment adjustments which related to a non-agency participation certificate which was issued by an unrelated financial institution and was secured by a significant amount of delinquent single-family residential loans. See "Business--Asset Quality--Classified Assets." Total other income amounted to a loss of $1.4 million during the year ended June 30, 1994, due primarily to a $2.2 million loss on the sale of securities held for trading (reflecting the early call of two mortgage-backed residuals, which resulted in less proceeds being realized at auction than anticipated, as well as the general widening of net risk adjusted spreads with respect to mortgage-backed and related securities) and a $610,000 impairment adjustment on securities available for sale. These losses were partially offset by $392,000 of gains on the sale of securities available for sale and $710,000 of unrealized gains on securities held for trading as well as by $1.5 million of non-recurring interest earned from the call of such mortgage-backed residuals. See "--Net Interest Income." With respect to the impairment adjustment recognized during fiscal 1994, $253,000 related to the non-agency participation certificate described above and $357,000 related to mortgage-backed residuals and interest-only strips which were being utilized by the Company to hedge its mortgage-backed and related securities portfolio. When interest rates declined during fiscal 1993 and 1994, the Company wrote-down the residuals and strips as a result of revised prepayment projections in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The $898,000 loss with respect to total other income during the year ended June 30, 1993 was due primarily to a $2.5 million impairment adjustment of securities available for sale reflecting the write-down of the mortgage-backed residuals and interest-only strips discussed above, which was partially offset by $1.4 million of gains on the sale of securities available for sale. Other Expense. In order to enhance the Company's profitability, management strives to maintain a low level of operating expenses relative to its peer group. During the six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, total other expense as a percentage 42 of average total assets amounted to 1.1%, 1.3%, 1.3%, 1.2% and 1.3%, respectively. The following table sets forth certain information regarding other expense for the periods shown. SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, ---------------- ------------------------------------------ 1995 1994 1995 1994 1993 ------ ------ ---------------------- ------ ------ (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Salaries and employee benefit........... $ 694 $ 583 $1,295 $ 925 $ 758 Premises and equipment.................. 214 207 414 331 235 FDIC insurance premiums................. 140 122 260 238 177 Marketing............................... 95 74 122 136 61 Computer services....................... 65 54 112 83 63 Consulting fees......................... 114 93 195 183 187 Write-off of goodwill and core deposit................................. -- -- -- -- 663 Other(1)................................ 388 350 769 623 605 ------ ------ ------- ------ ------ Total other expense................... $1,710 $1,483 $3,167 $2,519 $2,749 ------ ------ ------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------- ------ ------ - - - ------------ (1) Consists primarily of costs relating to postage, forms and supplies, professional fees, supervisory assessments and other miscellaneous expenses. The principal category of the Company's other expense is salaries and employee benefits, which increased by $111,000 or 19.1% during the six months ended December 31, 1995, as compared to the same period in the prior year, and increased by $370,000 or 40.0% and $167,000 or 22.1% during fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively. Such increases were primarily due to the hiring of additional employees in connection with the opening of two new branch offices, the growth in the Bank's mortgage lending operations and the opening of Harrington Investment Management and Trust Services. Premises and equipment expense increased by $7,000 or 3.5% during the six months ended December 31, 1995, as compared to the same period in the prior year, and increased by $83,000 or 25.0% and $96,000 or 41.0% during fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase in premises and equipment expense during the periods was primarily due to the opening in metropolitan Indianapolis of new branches in Carmel, Indiana in May 1994 and in Fishers, Indiana in December 1995. FDIC insurance premiums increased by $18,000 or 14.7% during the six months ended December 31, 1995, as compared to the same period in the prior year, and increased by $22,000 or 9.3% and $60,000 or 34.0% during fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively. FDIC insurance premiums are a function of the size of the Bank's deposit base. See "Supervision and Regulation--The Bank--Insurance of Accounts." In addition, see "Risk Factors--Recapitalization of SAIF and Related Legislative Proposals" for a discussion of a proposed special assessment which would be required to be paid by all financial institutions holding SAIF-insured deposits (including the Bank) in order to recapitalize the SAIF. The Company incurred marketing expense of $95,000, $74,000, $122,000, $136,000 and $61,000 during the six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The fluctuations in marketing expense during the periods reflected the costs associated with the Bank's name change during fiscal 1994 and advertising relating to the opening of the Bank's new branch offices during fiscal 1994 and the six months ended December 31, 1995. Computer services expense increased by $11,000 or 20.9% during the six months ended December 31, 1995, as compared to the same period in the prior year, and increased by $29,000 or 35.5% and $19,000 or 30.9% during fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively. Computer services expense relates to the fees paid by the Company to a third party who performs the Company's data processing functions (which fees increased during the periods due primarily to the increase in loans and deposit accounts) as well as to the third party servicer who performs the back-office functions with respect to the Company's trust and investment management services (which were implemented in December 1994). The Company has contracted with Smith Breeden to provide investment advisory services and interest rate risk analysis. Certain controlling stockholders of the Company are also principals of Smith 43 Breeden. See "Management of the Company--Transactions with Certain Related Persons." The consulting fees paid by the Company to Smith Breeden during the six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, amounted to $114,000, $93,000, $195,000, $183,000 and $187,000, respectively. During fiscal 1993, the Company reevaluated the useful lives of the core deposit intangible and goodwill recognized in connection with its acquisition of the Bank in September 1988 and deemed such intangibles to have no remaining value. Consequently, the Company wrote-off the remaining $663,000 of goodwill and core deposit intangible during fiscal 1993. Income Tax Provision. The Company incurred income tax expense of $249,000, $409,000, $1.2 million, $391,000 and $188,000 during the six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate amounted to 31.5%, 34.7%, 38.7%, 28.0% and 323.7% during the six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The high effective tax rate during fiscal 1993 was due to the non-deductibility of the Company's write-off of goodwill and core deposit intangible during the year. Effective July 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109. SFAS No. 109 establishes an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The cumulative effect of the change in adopting SFAS No. 109 amounted to a $79,000 charge to earnings for the year ended June 30, 1994. See "--Recent Accounting Pronouncements." LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Bank is required under applicable federal regulations to maintain specified levels of "liquid" investments in qualifying types of U.S. Government and government agency obligations and other similar investments having maturities of five years or less. 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 for other short-term funding needs. The required level of such liquid investments is currently 5% of certain liabilities as defined by the OTS and may be changed to reflect economic conditions. The liquidity of the Bank, as measured by the ratio of cash, cash equivalents (not committed, pledged or required to liquidate specific liabilities), investments and qualifying mortgage-backed securities to the sum of total deposits plus borrowings payable within one year, was 5.19% at December 31, 1995, as compared to 5.36% and 7.95% at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. At December 31, 1995, the Bank's "liquid" assets totalled approximately $13.8 million, which was $509,000 in excess of the current OTS minimum requirement. The Company manages its liquidity so as to maintain a minimum regulatory ratio of 5%. However, as a result of the Company's active portfolio management, the Bank's regulatory liquidity can be expected to fluctuate from a minimum of 5% to approximately 6%, based upon investment alternatives available and market conditions. In addition, the Company also prepares an internal liquidity report which calculates the amount of cash which could be raised in one, seven or thirty days, either by selling unpledged assets or by borrowing against them. The ratio of this amount of liquidity to total deposits generally ranges from over 50% to 90% or more for one- and thirty-day time frames, respectively. The Company's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, maturities of short-term investments, sales of mortgage-backed and related securities and funds provided from operations. While scheduled loan and mortgage-backed and related securities amortization and maturing short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The 44 Company generates cash through both the retail and non-retail deposit market and, to the extent deemed necessary, utilizes borrowings for liquidity purposes (primarily consisting of reverse repurchase agreements and advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis). Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally used to pay down short-term borrowings. On a longer-term basis, the Company maintains a strategy of investing in various mortgage-backed and related securities and loans as described in greater detail under "--Business--Lending Activities" and "--Investment Activities." The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments, to pay maturing savings certificates and savings withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain a portfolio of mortgage-backed and related securities. At December 31, 1995, the total approved loan commitments outstanding amounted to $1.1 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31, 1995 totalled $64.3 million. The Company believes that it has adequate resources to fund all of its commitments and that it could either adjust the rate of certificates of deposit in order to retain deposits in changing interest rate environments or replace such deposits with reverse repurchase agreements if it proved to be cost-effective to do so. 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 operating results in terms of historical dollars (except with respect to securities which are carried at market value), without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company 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. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." SFAS No. 114 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1994. SFAS No. 114 establishes accounting measurement, recognition and reporting standards for impaired loans. SFAS No. 114 provides that a loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms (both principal and interest). SFAS No. 114 requires that when a loan is impaired, impairment should be measured based on the present value of the expected cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. If the loan is collateral dependent, as a practical expedient, impairment can be based on a loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral. The value of the loan is adjusted through a valuation allowance created through a charge against income. Mortgages, consumer installment obligations and credit card loans which are homogeneous in nature are excluded. Loans that were treated as in-substance foreclosures under previous accounting pronouncements are considered to be impaired loans and remain in the loan portfolio under SFAS No. 114. SFAS No. 114 was amended in October 1994 by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures." SFAS No. 118 amended SFAS No. 114 primarily to remove its income recognition requirements and add some disclosure requirements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, on July 1, 1995 as required, without any material effect to its financial condition or results of operations. In November 1993, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued Statement of Position 93-6 entitled "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans" ("SOP 93-6"). SOP 93-6 requires an employer to record compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of shares committed to be released to employees from an employee stock ownership plan instead of an amount equal to the cost basis of such shares. If the shares of Common Stock appreciate in 45 value over time, SOP 93-6 will result in increased compensation expense with respect to the ESOP as compared with prior guidance which required the recognition of compensation expense based on the cost of shares acquired by the ESOP. See "Management--Benefits--Employee Stock Ownership Plan." In March 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 121 establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. The standard requires an impairment loss to be recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair value of an asset is the amount at which the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced liquidation sale. An entity that recognizes an impairment loss shall disclose additional information in the financial statements related to the impaired asset. All long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of and for which management has committed to a plan to dispose of the assets, whether by sale or abandonment, shall be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Subsequent revisions in estimates of fair value less cost to sell shall be reported as adjustments to the carrying amount of assets to be disposed of, provide that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed the carrying amount of the asset before an adjustment was made to reflect the decision to dispose of the asset. The statement requires additional disclosure in the footnotes regarding assets to be disposed of. Management does not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. In December 1994, the Accounting Standards Division of the AICPA approved SOP 94-6, "Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties." SOP 94-6 requires disclosures in the financial statements beyond those now being required or generally made in the financial statements about the risk and uncertainties existing as of the date of those financial statements in the following areas: nature of operations, use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements, certain significant estimates, and current vulnerability due to certain concentrations. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1995. In May 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights and Excess Servicing Receivables and for Securitization of Mortgage Loans." SFAS No. 122, which is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995, will require the Company, to the extent it services mortgage loans for others in return for servicing fees, to recognize these servicing rights as assets, regardless of how such assets were acquired. Additionally, the Company would be required to assess the fair value of these assets at each reporting date to determine any potential impairment. Management of the Company does not believe adoption of SFAS No. 122 will have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," establishing financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. This Statement encourages all entities to adopt a new method of accounting to measure compensation cost of all employee stock compensation plans based on the estimated fair value of the award at the date it is granted. Companies are, however, allowed to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting, which generally does not result in compensation expense recognition for most plans. Companies that elect to remain with the existing accounting are required to disclose in a footnote to the financial statements pro forma net income and, if presented, earnings per share, as if this Statement had been adopted. The accounting requirements of this Statement are effective for transactions entered into during fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995; however, companies are required to disclose information for awards granted in their first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1994. Management of the Company has not completed an analysis of the potential effects of this Statement on its financial condition or results of operations. 46 BUSINESS GENERAL The Company attempts to enhance profitability and reduce credit, interest rate and liquidity risk by: (i) investing in mortgage-backed and related securities and originating (both directly and through correspondents) loans secured primarily by single-family residences; (ii) actively managing its investment portfolio and funding sources in order to secure favorable spreads in a variety of interest rate environments; (iii) controlling interest rate risk and net portfolio volatility through the use of interest rate contracts and mortgage-backed derivative securities; (iv) seeking to access cost-efficient funding sources given prevailing market conditions, consisting primarily of deposits, reverse repurchase agreements and FHLB advances; (iv) managing its costs in order to maintain high operating efficiency; and (v) attempting to grow its retail banking operations through increased loan originations and retail deposit growth. Highlights of the principal elements of the Company's business strategy are as follows: . Active Portfolio Management. The Company actively manages its interest-earning assets and, with the assistance of Smith Breeden, utilizes "option-adjusted pricing analysis" to quantify the costs embedded in the yield of an investment, including the funding cost, the cost of the options embedded in the investment's cash flows, if any (such as a borrower's ability to prepay a mortgage), and any servicing costs. The objective of the Company's investment management process is to select assets (including loans and securities) with attractive risk-adjusted net spreads (over the Company's funding costs) and actively manage the underlying risks of these investments. The Company uses interest rate contracts and mortgage-backed derivative securities to secure favorable interest rate spreads and to maintain the overall market value of its assets and liabilities in changing interest rate environments. The Company believes that this strategy will enhance the long-term market value of the Company. Nevertheless, because the Company actively manages its portfolio, nearly all of its mortgage-backed and related securities and interest rate contracts are classified for accounting purposes as held for trading (with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings) and, as a result, the Company's earnings have and may in the future fluctuate significantly on a period-to-period basis as has been illustrated by the Company's results of operations over the past five years. The Company attempts to reduce, to the extent possible, such fluctuations through its asset and liability management strategies. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." . Control Interest Rate Risk. The Company attempts to manage its assets and liabilities in order to maintain a portfolio which produces positive returns in either an increasing or decreasing interest rate environment. The Company has sought to control interest rate risk both internally through the management of the composition of its assets and liabilities and externally through the utilization of interest rate contracts. Interest rate contracts are purchased with the intention of protecting both the net interest income of the Bank and, along with mortgage-backed derivative securities, the market value of the Bank's portfolio on a mark-to-market basis. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Asset and Liability Management." . Control Credit Risk. In order to limit the Company's credit exposure and as part of its strategy to earn a positive interest rate spread, the Company maintains a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed and related securities, which are primarily issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or government sponsored enterprises, and single-family residential loans. At December 31, 1995, the Company's investment in mortgage-backed and related securities amounted to $226.2 million or 97.2% of the Company's securities portfolio (both held for trading and available for sale) and 73.6% of the Company's total assets. In addition, as of such date, the Company's investment in single-family residential loans amounted to $54.0 million or 17.7% of total assets. See "--Lending" and "--Investment Activities." 47 . Reduce Funding Costs. The Company attempts to reduce its overall funding costs by evaluating all potential sources of funds (including retail and non-retail deposits and short and long-term borrowings) and identifying which particular source will result in an all-in cost to the Company that meets its funding benchmark. At the same time, the Company has attempted to price the deposits offered through its branch system in order to promote retail deposit growth and offer a wide array of deposit products to satisfy its customers. See "--Sources of Funds." . Increase Emphasis on Retail Banking. An integral part of the Company's strategy is to increase the Bank's emphasis on retail products and services. The Company's primary lending emphasis is on the origination (both directly and through correspondents) of loans secured by first liens on single-family (one-to-four units) residences. Originations of such loans have increased from $8.8 million during fiscal 1993 to $18.9 million during fiscal 1995 and further increased to $25.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 1995. See "--Lending Activities." In addition, the Company's retail deposits (including transaction accounts and retail certificates of deposit) have increased from $45.9 million or 51.1% of total deposits at June 30, 1993 to $84.9 million or 73.9% of total deposits at December 31, 1995. See "--Sources of Funds--Deposits." The Company believes that single-family residential loan originations generally offer attractive yields, provide a source of fee income and, with respect to direct originations, allow the Company to establish a relationship with the underlying borrower which the Company can utilize to cross-sell additional products and services. In addition, the Company believes that retail deposits are a cost-effective source of funds, provide an additional source of fee income and also permit the further cross-selling of additional products and services. Consequently, the Company expects to continue to focus on increasing its retail deposit base and its portfolio of single-family residential loans. . Control Operating Expenses. As a result of the Company maintaining a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed and related securities, the Company has been able to maintain a low level of operating expenses. Accordingly, the Company's total other expenses to average total assets for the six months ended December 31, 1995 and the year ended June 30, 1995 amounted to 1.08% (annualized) and 1.30%, respectively. Although the Company strives to maintain a low level of operating expenses, management recognizes that as the Bank increases its emphasis on retail banking, its operating expenses will correspondingly increase. . Trust and Investment Management Services. In order to provide a more complete range of financial services to its customers, in December 1994, the Company began offering a variety of trust and investment management services through Harrington Investment Management and Trust Services, a separate division of the Bank. As of December 31, 1995, the Bank administered approximately 49 accounts with aggregate assets of $11.5 million at such date. See "--Trust and Fiduciary Services." . Asset Growth and Acquisitions. The Company has and will continue to pursue a policy of utilizing its existing capital and infrastructure to grow through the purchase of mortgage-backed and related securities and the continued growth of the Bank's retail operations. The Company will also consider acquisition opportunities when it perceives that they are advantageous to the Company and its stockholders. There are currently no plans, arrangements, understandings or agreements regarding any such acquisition opportunities. The Company believes that it can initially deploy its capital, including the net proceeds of the Offering, quickly by purchasing mortgage-backed and related securities funded primarily through reverse repurchase agreements, and subsequently redeploy such capital into single-family residential loans as market conditions permit. INVESTMENT ADVISOR Smith Breeden is a money management and consulting firm involved in (i) money management for separate accounts such as corporate, state and municipal pensions, endowments and mutual funds, (ii) financial institution consulting and investment advice, and (iii) equity investments.

MARKET AREA The Bank maintains offices in two Indiana markets: Carmel and Fishers in Hamilton County and Richmond in Wayne County. The Bank has operated in Wayne County since it was organized in 1889. The Bank expanded into Hamilton County with the opening of the Carmel branch during fiscal 1994 and, in December 1995, the Bank opened the Fishers branch. At December 31, 1995, the Bank had deposits of $85.1 million, $29.6 million and $129,000 at the Richmond, Carmel and Fishers branches, respectively. Hamilton County, situated in the north central section of the Indianapolis metropolitan statistical area ("MSA"), is a 400 square mile suburban county of over 120,000 residents. Hamilton County has been the fastest growing county in the state of Indiana, with a 32.8% growth rate from 1980 to 1990. The 1995 population for the County is estimated at 120,600, which represents an increase of more than 11,000 or 10.7% since 1990. Hamilton County is generally younger and more affluent than the remainder of the Indianapolis MSA, with only 16% of the population over 55 years of age compared to 19.0% for the Indianapolis MSA. Hamilton County has an estimated average household income of $66,924 as of 1994, compared to $46,088 for the Indianapolis MSA as of the same year end. The unemployment rate of 1.8% as of September 1995 was well below Indiana's rate of 3.9%, and the national rate of 5.6%. The labor force is skewed to managerial and professional occupations, as well as technical sales and administrative 49 support. The County is the leading suburban location in greater Indianapolis for headquarters and other office operations of companies such as USA Group, Inc., Thomson Consumer Electronics, Conseco, Mayflower Group, Marsh Supermarkets, as well as many large manufacturing and distribution operations. Wayne County is located in east central Indiana, with Ohio as its eastern border. In contrast to Hamilton County, Wayne County has experienced a population decline over the period from 1980 to 1994, due primarily to unfavorable economic conditions, which resulted in a loss of over 1,200 manufacturing jobs over the ten years ended 1994. Population in Wayne County and Richmond in 1994 was 72,370 and 38,810, respectively, which represented a decline since 1980 of 4.8% and 6.1%, respectively. Unemployment in Wayne County reached a peak of 18.8% in January 1983 but has declined to 4.0% as of September 1995, as non-manufacturing employment has grown steadily. Even though Wayne County and Richmond had a higher rate of unemployment than the Indiana average for much of this period, these areas have started to experience recovery in the last few years and now have their lowest unemployment rates in more than ten years. Estimated average household income remains low at $35,618 in Wayne County and $33,059 for the City of Richmond in 1994, which represents a 20.4% and 24.2% increase, respectively, since 1990. The occupational groups with the largest decline have been manufacturing, finance and mining. The largest growth has been experienced in professional specialty fields, technical fields, and related support areas by skilled groups of workers, such as transportation, communication, construction and public utilities as well as wholesale and retail trade and services. Richmond and Wayne County have a diversified economy consisting of manufacturing, retail, service, and governmental entities. Major employers include Belden Wire and Cable, Dana Corporation, Kemper Division of WCI, Alcoa, Mosey Manufacturing, Reid Hospital, Richmond State Hospital, City of Richmond, and Richmond Community Schools. LENDING ACTIVITIES General. At December 31, 1995, the Bank's net loan portfolio totaled $55.9 million, representing approximately 18.2% of the Company's $307.4 million of total assets at that date. In addition to utilizing "option-adjusted pricing analysis" in order to manage the Company's investment portfolio, the Company also uses such analysis to price its loan originations and ascertain the net spread expected to be earned with respect to the Bank's loan portfolio. The Bank's primary focus with respect to its lending operations has historically been the direct origination and servicing of single-family residential mortgage loans. The Bank has built an efficient mortgage operation which has produced record loan volumes each year since fiscal 1993. Since fiscal 1995, the Bank has also been active in originating whole residential mortgage loans through correspondents which meet its pricing and credit quality objectives. To a much lesser extent, the Bank originates commercial real estate loans and consumer loans. Substantially all of the Bank's loan portfolio consists of conventional loans, which are loans that are neither insured by the Federal Housing Administration nor partially guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The risks associated with mortgage lending are well-defined and controllable. Credit risk is controlled through the adherence, with few exceptions, to secondary market underwriting guidelines. A strong internal loan review program monitors compliance with the Bank's underwriting standards, which is reflected by the low level of non-performing assets. See--"Asset Quality--Non-Performing Assets." Market risk is controlled by a disciplined approach to pricing and by regular monitoring and hedging of the institution's overall sensitivity to interest rate changes. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Asset and Liability Management." As a federally chartered savings institution, the Bank has general authority to originate and purchase loans secured by real estate located throughout the United States. Notwithstanding this 50 nationwide lending authority, the Company estimates that at December 31, 1995, approximately 90% of the loans in the Bank's portfolio are secured by properties located or made to customers residing in its primary market area, which consists of Wayne and Hamilton counties in eastern and central Indiana and contiguous counties. Although the Bank historically originated loans with lesser dollar balances than were permitted by federal regulations, current loans-to-one borrower limitations may restrict its ability to do business with certain customers. A savings institution generally may not make loans to any one borrower and related entities in an amount which exceeds 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus, although loans in an amount equal to an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus may be made to a borrower if the loans are fully secured by readily marketable securities. At December 31, 1995, the Bank's regulatory limit on loans-to-one borrower was $3.0 million and its five largest loans or groups of loans-to-one borrower, including related entities, aggregated $588,000, $414,000, $378,000, $355,000 and $349,000. All five of the Bank's largest loans or groups of loans are secured primarily by single-family residential real estate located in its primary market area were performing in accordance with their terms at December 31, 1995. Loan Portfolio Composition. The following table sets forth the composition of the Bank's loan portfolio by type of loan at the dates indicated.

The lending activities of the Bank are subject to the written, non-discriminatory underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by the Bank's Board of Directors and management. Loan originations are obtained by a variety of sources, including referrals from real estate brokers, builders, existing customers, walk-in customers, loan officers and advertising. In its marketing, the Bank emphasizes its community ties, customized personal service, competitive rates, and an efficient underwriting and approval process. Loan applications are taken by lending personnel, and the loan department supervises the obtainment of credit reports, appraisals and other documentation involved with a loan. Property valuations are performed by independent outside appraisers approved by the Bank's Board of Directors. The Bank requires title, hazard and, to the extent applicable, flood insurance on all security property. Mortgage loan applications are initially processed by loan officers who have approval authority up to designated limits. All loans in excess of an individual's designated limits are referred to the Bank's Loan Committee, which has approval authority for all loans up to $1.0 million. Any loans exceeding $1.0 million (of which, at December 31, 1995, there were none) must be approved by the Board of Directors of the Bank. In addition, the Board of Directors of the Bank ratifies all loans originated and purchased by the Bank. The single-family residential loans originated by the Bank are generally made on terms, conditions and documentation which permit the sale to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and other institutional investors in the secondary market. From fiscal 1991 to fiscal 1993, the Bank sold substantially all of its fixed-rate single-family residential loans to FNMA in the secondary market as a means of generating fee income as well as providing additional funds for lending, investing and other purposes. Sales of loans were generally under terms which did not provide any recourse to the Company by the purchaser in the event of default on the loan by the borrower. With respect to such loan sales, the Company generally retained responsibility for collecting and remitting loan payments, inspecting the properties, making certain insurance and tax payments on behalf of borrowers and otherwise servicing the loans it sold, and 52 received a fee for performing these services. At December 31, 1995, the Company was servicing $6.3 million of loans for others. During fiscal 1994, the Bank determined to increase its portfolio of single-family residential loans and terminated its loan sale program while at the same time emphasizing increased originations of such loans. In addition, during fiscal 1995, the Bank began originating single-family residential loans through correspondent mortgage banking companies headquartered in Prairie Village, Kansas and Indianapolis, Indiana. Currently, the Bank is continuing its relationship with the Indianapolis firm and desires to expand further its single-family residential loan portfolio through the use of additional correspondent mortgage banking companies located within central Indiana. The Bank requires that all loans originated through correspondents be underwritten in accordance with its underwriting guidelines and standards. The Bank reviews the loans, particularly scrutinizing the borrower's ability to repay the obligation, the appraisal and the loan-to-value ratio. Such loans are generally obtained with servicing released. The following table sets forth the loan origination and sale activity of the Company during the periods indicated.

Single-Family Residential Real Estate Loans. Historically, savings institutions such as the Bank have concentrated their lending activities on the origination of loans secured primarily by first mortgage liens on existing single-family residences. At December 31, 1995, $54.0 million or 96.2% of the Bank's total loan portfolio consisted of single-family residential real estate loans, substantially all of which are conventional loans. The Bank offers fixed-rate single family residential loans with terms of 10 to 30 years. Such loans are amortized on a monthly basis with principal and interest due each month. Generally, the value of fixed-rate loans fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates. Consequently, if left unhedged, long- term fixed-rate single-family residential loans would increase the Bank's interest rate risk. However, the Bank believes that its sophisticated asset and liability management techniques provide the Bank with a competitive advantage and allow for the Bank to continue to offer fixed-rate residential mortgage loans over a variety of interest rate scenarios. 53 Since the early 1980s, the Bank has also been offering adjustable-rate single-family residential mortgage loans. Such loans generally have up to 30-year terms and an interest rate which adjusts after one, three or five years in accordance with a designated index (the weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant comparable maturity of one year, as made available by the Federal Reserve Board). Such loans currently have a 2% cap on the amount of any increase or decrease in the interest rate per year, and a 6% limit on the amount by which the interest rate can increase or decrease over the life of the loan. In addition, the Bank's adjustable-rate loans are currently not convertible into fixed-rate loans and do not contain prepayment penalties. Approximately 29.1% of the single-family residential loans in the Bank's loan portfolio at December 31, 1995 had adjustable interest rates. Adjustable-rate mortgage loans decrease but do not eliminate the risks associated with changes in interest rates. Because periodic and lifetime caps limit the interest rate adjustments, the value of adjustable-rate mortgage loans also fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates. In addition as interest rates increase, the required payments by the borrower increase, thus increasing the potential for default. Due to the recent trend of declining interest rates, the Bank's originations of adjustable-rate loans as a percentage of total loans have decreased as consumer preference for fixed-rate loans has increased. The demand for adjustable-rate loans in the Bank's primary market area has been a function of several factors, including the level of interest rates, the expectations of changes in the level of interest rates and the difference between the interest rates and loan fees offered for fixed-rate loans and adjustable-rate loans. The relative amount of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate residential loans that can be originated at any time is largely determined by the demand for each in a competitive environment. The Bank is permitted to lend up to 100% of the appraised value of the real property securing a residential loan (referred to as the loan-to-value ratio); however, if the amount of a residential loan originated or refinanced exceeds 90% of the appraised value, the Bank is required by federal regulations to obtain private mortgage insurance on the portion of the principal amount that exceeds 80% of the appraised value of the security property. Pursuant to underwriting guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors, the Bank will generally lend up to 95% of the appraised value of the property securing a single-family residential loan. However, the Bank generally obtains private mortgage insurance on the principal amount that exceeds 80% of appraised value of the security property. Although the Bank does not emphasize the origination of residential construction loans, in recent years the Bank has occasionally originated loans in its primary market area to construct single-family residences. At December 31, 1995, the Bank had three construction loans amounting to $328,000 in the aggregate or 0.6% of the Bank's total loan portfolio. Similarly, although the Bank does not emphasize the origination of multi-family residential loans, the Bank has occasionally originated loans secured by multi-family residential properties (generally small residential buildings with more than four units). At December 31, 1995, the Bank's portfolio of multi-family residential loans consisted of five loans which amounted to $220,000 in the aggregate or 0.4% of the Bank's total loan portfolio. Commercial Real Estate Loans. At December 31, 1995, $665,000 or 1.2% of the Bank's total loan portfolio consisted of loans secured by commercial real estate. At December 31, 1995, the Bank's commercial real estate loan portfolio included five loans (which include mortgage revenue bonds) secured by commercial buildings, vacant land and a church, all of which are located within the Company's primary market area. The Company's largest commercial real estate loan at December 31, 1995 was a $206,000 loan secured by a commercial building located in Richmond, Indiana. Commercial real estate lending entails different and significant risks when compared to single-family residential lending because such loans typically involve large loan balances to single borrowers 54 and because the payment experience on such loans is typically dependent on the successful operation of the project or the borrower's business. The Bank attempts to minimize its risk exposure by limiting the extent of its commercial lending generally. In addition, the Bank imposes stringent loan-to-value ratios, requires conservative debt coverage ratios, and continually monitors the operation and physical condition of the collateral. The Bank intends to continue to originate small commercial real estate loans on a case-by-case basis that comply with its strict underwriting standards. Consumer Loans. The Bank is authorized to make loans for a wide variety of personal or consumer purposes. The Bank has been originating consumer loans in recent years in order to provide a wider range of financial services to its customers and because such loans generally have higher interest spreads than mortgage loans. The consumer loans offered by the Bank include home equity loans and lines of credit, home improvement loans and deposit account secured loans. At December 31, 1995, $950,000 or 1.7% of the Bank's total loan portfolio consisted of consumer loans. Home equity loans and lines of credit are originated by the Bank for up to 80% of the appraised value, less the amount of any existing prior liens on the property. The Bank also offers home improvement loans in amounts up to 95% of the appraised value (provided the borrower has or maintains private mortgage insurance on the principal balance that exceeds 80% of the appraised value), less the amount of any existing prior liens on the property. Home equity loans and home improvement loans have a maximum term of twenty years and carry fixed interest rates. Home equity lines of credit have a maximum repayment term of 10 years, a five-year term with respect to draws, and carry interest rates which adjust monthly in accordance with a designated prime rate. The Bank will secure each of these types of loans with a mortgage on the property (generally a second mortgage) and will originate the loan even if another institution holds the first mortgage. At December 31, 1995, home equity loans and lines of credit and home improvement loans totalled $696,000 or 73.3% of the Bank's total consumer loan portfolio. The Bank currently offers loans secured by deposit accounts, which amounted to $254,000 or 26.7% of the Bank's total consumer loan portfolio at December 31, 1995. Such loans are originated for up to 95% of the deposit account balance, with a hold placed on the account restricting the withdrawal of the account balance. Consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than mortgage loans but generally involve more credit risk than mortgage loans because of the type and nature of the collateral. In addition, consumer lending collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy. The Bank believes that the generally higher yields earned on consumer loans compensate for the increased credit risk associated with such loans and the Company intends to continue to offer consumer loans in order to provide a full range of services to its customers. ASSET QUALITY Loan Delinquencies. When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, the Bank attempts to cure the deficiency by contacting the borrower and seeking payment. Contacts are generally made following the fifteenth day after a payment is due, at which time a late payment is assessed. In most cases, deficiencies are cured promptly. If a delinquency extends beyond 15 days, the loan and payment history is reviewed and efforts are made to collect the loan. While the Bank generally prefers to work with borrowers to resolve such problems, when the account becomes 90 days delinquent, the Bank does institute foreclosure or other proceedings, as necessary, to minimize any potential loss. Non-Performing Assets. All loans are reviewed on a regular basis and are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is deemed insufficient to warrant further accrual. As a matter of policy, the Bank does not accrue interest on loans past due 90 55 days or more except when the estimated value of the collateral and collection efforts are deemed sufficient to ensure full recovery. The Bank provides an allowance for the loss of uncollected interest on all non-accrual loans. Impaired loans covered under SFAS No. 114 and No. 118 are defined by the Company to consist of non-accrual commercial loans which have not been collectively evaluated for impairment. 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. Real estate acquired through foreclosure is carried at the lower of the loan's unpaid principal balance (cost) or fair value less estimated selling expenses at the date of transfer. A loan charge-off is recorded for any writedown in the loan's carrying value to fair value at the date of transfer. Real estate loss provisions are recorded if the properties' fair value subsequently declines below the value determined at the recording date. In determining the lower of cost or fair value at acquisition, costs relating to development and improvement of property are considered. Costs relating to holding real estate acquired through foreclosure, net of rental income, are charged against earnings as incurred. The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of the Bank's non-performing assets at the dates indicated. The Bank did not have any troubled debt restructuring at any of the periods presented.

See "--Classified Assets." The interest income that would have been recorded during the six months ended December 31, 1995 and the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 if the Bank's non-accrual loans at the end of such periods had been current in accordance with their terms during such periods was $11,000, $46,000, $26,000 and $13,000, respectively. Classified Assets. Federal regulations require that each insured savings institution classify its assets on a regular basis. In addition, in connection with examinations of insured institutions, federal examiners have authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, classify them. There are three classifications for problem assets: "substandard," "doubtful" and "loss." Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. An asset classified loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that 56 continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. Another category designated "special mention" also must be established and maintained for assets which do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification as substandard, doubtful or loss. Assets classified as substandard or doubtful require the institution to establish general allowances for loan losses. If an asset or portion thereof is classified loss, the insured institution must either establish specific allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss, or charge-off such amount. General loss allowances established to cover possible losses related to assets classified substandard or doubtful may be included in determining an institution's regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan losses do not qualify as regulatory capital. The Bank's classified assets at December 31, 1995 consisted of $1.6 million of assets classified as substandard (including $428,000 of loans and $1.2 million of securities) and no loans classified as doubtful. In addition, at December 31, 1995, $767,000 of the Bank's loans were designated special mention. The $1.2 million of securities classified as substandard at December 31, 1995 relates to a single non-agency participation certificate which was purchased by the Bank during fiscal 1991. The security was issued by a savings institution located in Huntington Beach, California and the underlying mortgages consist of six-month adjustable-rate notes (priced off of LIBOR) which are secured by single-family properties located in southern California. As of December 31, 1995, approximately 38.5% of the underlying mortgages were at least 30 days past due and/or in foreclosure or already foreclosed upon by the servicer. The security was structured into both senior and subordinate classes and the Bank owns only senior classes. As of December 31, 1995, the pool had cumulative realized losses of $16.2 million which were initially absorbed by certain credit supports and subsequently absorbed by subordinate certificate holders. Currently, senior certificate holders (such as the Bank) are having to absorb some of the losses. The credit supports, which totalled $11.0 million at the date of issuance, had been depleted as of December 31, 1995. The security is currently held in the Bank's available for sale portfolio and its $1.2 million carrying value at December 31, 1995 reflects $54,000 of net unrealized losses as of such date as well as $414,000 and $253,000 of write-downs with respect to such security which were recognized by the Bank during fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively. Allowance for Loan Losses. It is management's policy to maintain an allowance for estimated losses on loans based upon the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Bank's market area, historical loss experience, and other factors related to the collectibility of the loan portfolio. Although management believes that it uses the best information available to make such determinations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary, and net income could be significantly affected, if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. Effective December 21, 1993, the OTS, in conjunction with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board, issued an Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses ("Policy Statement"). The Policy Statement, which effectively supersedes the proposed guidance issued in September 1992, includes guidance (i) on the responsibilities of management for the assessment and establishment of an adequate allowance and (ii) for the agencies' examiners to use in evaluating the adequacy of such allowance and the policies utilized to determine such allowance. The Policy Statement also sets forth quantitative measures for the allowance with respect to assets classified substandard and doubtful and with respect to the remaining portion of an institution's loan portfolio. Specifically, the Policy Statement sets forth the following quantitative measures which examiners may use to determine the reasonableness of an allowance: (i) 50% of the portfolio that is classified doubtful; (ii) 15% of the portfolio that is classified substandard and (iii) for the portions of the portfolio that have not been classified (including loans designated special mention), estimated credit losses over the upcoming twelve months based on facts and circumstances available on the evaluation date. While the Policy Statement sets forth this quantitative measure, such guidance is not intended as a "floor" or "ceiling." 57 The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank's allowance for loan losses during the periods indicated.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES General. The Company's securities portfolio is managed by investment officers in accordance with a comprehensive written investment policy which addresses strategies, types and levels of allowable investments and which is reviewed and approved by the Bank's Board of Directors on an annual basis. The management of the securities portfolio is set in accordance with strategies developed by the Bank's Investment Committee. In addition, the Bank has entered into an agreement with Smith Breeden 58 whereby Smith Breeden has been appointed as investment advisor with respect to the management of the Bank's securities portfolio. See "Management--Transactions With Certain Related Persons." With the assistance of Smith Breeden, the Bank's Chief Executive Officer (who is also a principal of Smith Breeden), Chief Investment Officer, and Investment Officer (who is also a principal of Smith Breeden) execute various transactions with respect to the portfolio and are responsible for informing the Investment Committee of the types of investments available, the status and performance of the portfolio and current market conditions. The investment officers are authorized to: purchase or sell any securities as well as commitments to hedge eligible investments; purchase or sell eligible investments under repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements; execute hedging strategies approved by the Investment Committee; pledge securities owned as collateral for public agency deposits or repurchase accounts or agreements; and lend securities to approved dealers in government securities or approved commercial banks. Any one investment officer has the authority to purchase or sell securities up to $5.0 million in any one transaction and acting together, two members of the Investment Committee have authority to purchase or sell securities up to $10.0 million in any one transaction. For purchases or sales greater than $10.0 million, the prior approval of a majority of the Investment Committee is required. Investment officers are also authorized to invest excess liquidity in approved liquid investment vehicles. In addition, both the Investment Committee and the Board of Directors of the Bank ratify all securities purchased and sold by the Bank. The Company invests in a portfolio of mortgage-backed securities, mortgage-backed derivative securities, interest rate contracts, equity securities and municipal bonds. In selecting securities for its portfolio, the Company employs option-adjusted pricing analysis with the assistance of Smith Breeden in order to ascertain the net risk-adjusted spread expected to be earned with respect to the various investment alternatives. The nature of this analysis is to quantify the costs embedded in the yield of an investment, such as the funding cost, the costs of the options embedded in the investment's cash flows (such as a borrower's ability to prepay a mortgage), credit costs, if any, and servicing costs. The objective of the Company's investment management process is to select investments with the greatest net spreads and actively manage the underlying risks of these investments. The Company actively manages its securities portfolio in order to enhance net interest and other income on a risk-adjusted basis. As a result, the Company continuously monitors the net risk-adjusted spreads of its investments and compares them with the spreads available with respect to other securities in the market. Accordingly, as market conditions fluctuate (e.g., as risk-adjusted spreads narrow), the Company will sell individual securities prior to their maturity and reinvest the proceeds into new investments which generally carry wider risk-adjusted spreads. The Company's securities portfolio also contains various interest rate contracts (such as interest rate swaps, collars, caps, floors, options and futures) which are primarily utilized to hedge the Company's interest rate exposure in the trading portfolio and which require active management in order to respond to changing market conditions. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Asset and Liability Management." In recognition of the Company's business strategy of actively managing its securities portfolio, during fiscal 1994, the Company reclassified substantially all of its securities as held for trading. Pursuant to SFAS No. 115, securities classified as trading securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings, and securities classified as available for sale are similarly reported at fair value, but with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and instead reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Mortgage-Backed and Related Securities. The Company maintains a significant portfolio of mortgage-backed and related securities as a means of investing in housing-related mortgage instruments without the costs associated with originating mortgage loans for portfolio retention. At December 31, 1995, the Company's mortgage-backed and related securities portfolio (including $14.6 million of mortgage-backed derivative securities) amounted to $226.2 million or 97.2% of the Company's 59 securities portfolio (both held for trading and available for sale) and 73.6% of the Company's total assets. By investing in mortgage-backed and related securities, management seeks to achieve a targeted option-adjusted spread over applicable funding costs. The Company invests in mortgage-backed and related securities, including mortgage participation certificates, which are insured or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies and government sponsored enterprises, and CMOs and real estate mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs"). Mortgage-backed securities (which also are known as mortgage participation certificates or pass-through certificates) represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family mortgages, the principal and interest payments on which are passed from the mortgage originators, through intermediaries (generally U.S. Government agencies and government sponsored enterprises) that pool and repackage the participation interests in the form of securities, to investors such as the Company. Such U.S. Government agencies and government sponsored enterprises, which guarantee the payment of principal and interest to investors, primarily include the FHLMC, the FNMA and the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"). Mortgage-backed securities typically are issued with stated principal amounts, and the securities are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans with interest rates that are within a range and have varying maturities. The characteristics of the underlying pool of mortgages, i.e., fixed-rate or adjustable-rate, as well as prepayment risk, are passed on to the certificate holder. The term of a mortgage-backed pass-through security thus approximates the term of the underlying mortgages. The Company's mortgage-backed derivative securities include CMOs, which include securities issued by entities which have qualified under the Code as REMICs. CMOs and REMICs (collectively CMOs) have been developed in response to investor concerns regarding the uncertainty of cash flows associated with the prepayment option of the underlying mortgagor and are typically issued by governmental agencies, government sponsored enterprises and special purpose entities, such as trusts, corporations or partnerships, established by financial institutions or other similar institutions. A CMO can be collateralized by loans or securities which are insured or guaranteed by FNMA, FHLMC or GNMA. In contrast to pass-through mortgage-backed securities, in which cash flow is received pro rata by all security holders, the cash flow from the mortgages underlying a CMO is segmented and paid in accordance with a predetermined priority to investors holding various CMO classes. By allocating the principal and interest cash flows from the underlying collateral among the separate CMO classes, different classes of bonds are created, each with its own stated maturity, estimated average life, coupon rate and prepayment characteristics. The Company's mortgage-backed derivative securities also include mortgage-backed residuals and interest-only and principal-only strips. Mortgage-backed residuals consist of certificates of particular tranches of a CMO whereby the principal repayments and prepayments with respect to the underlying pool of loans are generally not allocated to the residual until all other certificates or tranches have been fully paid and retired. Interest-only strips are a particular class of mortgage-backed derivative security which receives and pays only interest with respect to the underlying pool of loans, while principal-only strips receive and pay only principal repayments and prepayments. As a result of the foregoing, mortgage-backed derivative securities often exhibit elasticity and convexity characteristics (i.e., respond differently to changes in interest rates) which the Company can utilize to internally hedge other components of the Company's portfolio of assets against interest rate risk. The OTS has issued a statement of policy which states, among other things, that mortgage derivative products (including CMOs and CMO residuals and stripped mortgage-backed securities such as interest-only and principal-only strips) which possess average life or price volatility in excess of a benchmark fixed-rate 30-year mortgage-backed security are "high risk mortgage securities," and must be carried in the institution's trading account or as assets held for sale, and therefore marked to market on a regular basis. At December 31, 1995, $8.1 million or 3.5% of the securities held in the Company's 60 portfolio consisted of such "high risk mortgage securities," as defined in such policy statement. However, the Bank is in compliance with this OTS policy statement since all of such securities are held in the Company's trading account and marked to market on a regular basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Like most fixed-income securities, mortgage-backed and related securities are subject to interest rate risk. See "Risk Factors--Potential Effects of Changes in Interest Rates." However, unlike most fixed-income securities, the mortgage loans underlying a mortgage-backed or related security generally may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The ability to prepay a mortgage loan generally results in significantly increased price and yield volatility (with respect to mortgage-backed and related securities) than is the case with non-callable fixed income securities. Furthermore, mortgage-backed derivative securities often are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and prepayments than traditional mortgage-backed securities and are, therefore, even more volatile. Nevertheless, the Company utilizes sophisticated asset and liability management techniques to hedge against both interest rate and prepayment risk. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Asset and Liability Management." For a discussion of certain other risks inherent with respect to the purchase and/or sale of mortgage-backed derivative securities (such as basis risk, credit or default risk, liquidity risk and volatility risk), see "Risk Factors--Use of Interest Rate Contracts and Other Derivatives." Although mortgage-backed and related securities often carry lower yields than traditional mortgage loans, such securities generally increase the quality of the Company's assets by virtue of the securities' underlying insurance or guarantees, are more liquid than individual mortgage loans (which enhances the Company's ability to actively manage its portfolio) and may be used to collateralize borrowings or other obligations of the Company. At December 31, 1995, $33.0 million or 14.6% of the Company's mortgage-backed and related securities were pledged to secure various obligations of the Company (such as reverse repurchase agreements and interest rate swaps). In addition, as a result of the Company maintaining a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed and related securities, the Company has been able to maintain a relatively low level of operating expenses. Furthermore, mortgage-backed derivative securities are often utilized by the Company to internally hedge its interest rate exposure and can be attractive alternatives to other hedge vehicles when their option-adjusted spreads are abnormally wide. 61 The following table sets forth information relating to the amortized cost and market value of the Company's securities held for trading and securities available for sale portfolios.

The actual maturity of a mortgage-backed or related security is less than its stated maturity due to prepayments of the underlying mortgages. Prepayments that are faster than anticipated may shorten the life of the security and affect its yield to maturity. The yield to maturity is based upon the interest income and the amortization of any premium or discount related to the security. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, premiums and discounts are amortized over the estimated lives of the loans, which decrease and increase interest income, respectively. The prepayment assumptions used to determine the amortization period for premiums and discounts can significantly affect the yield of the mortgage-backed or related security, and these assumptions are reviewed periodically to reflect actual prepayments. Although prepayments of underlying mortgages depend on many factors, including the type of mortgages, the coupon rate, the age of mortgages, the geographical location of the underlying real estate collateralizing the mortgages and general levels of market interest rates, the difference between the interest rates on the underlying mortgages and the prevailing mortgage interest rates generally is the most significant determinant of the rate of prepayments. During periods of falling mortgage interest rates, if the coupon rate of the underlying mortgages exceeds the prevailing market interest rates offered for mortgage loans, refinancing generally increases and accelerates the prepayment of the underlying mortgages and the related security. At December 31, 1995, of the $226.2 million of mortgage-backed and related securities held by the Company, an aggregate of $155.7 million were secured by fixed-rate mortgage loans and an aggregate of $70.5 million were secured by adjustable-rate mortgage loans. Other Securities. Other securities owned by the Company at December 31, 1995 include various interest rate contracts, including interest rate swaps, collars, caps, floors, options and futures, equity securities and municipal bonds. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Asset and Liability Management." At December 31, 1995, the carrying value of the Company's interest rate contracts, equity securities and municipal bonds amounted to $4.8 million, $525,000 and $1.1 million, respectively. Of the $1.1 million of municipal bonds held by the Company at December 31, 1995, $100,000 was scheduled to mature in one year or less, $202,000 was scheduled to mature between one and five years and $774,000 was scheduled to mature between five and ten years. See Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. SOURCES OF FUNDS General. The Company will consider various sources of funds to fund its investing and lending activities and evaluates the available sources of funds in order to reduce the Company's overall funding costs. Deposits, reverse repurchase agreements, advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis, notes payable, and sales, maturities and principal repayments on loans and securities have been the major sources of funds for use in the Company's lending and investing activities, and for other general business purposes. Management of the Company closely monitors rates and terms of competing sources of funds on a daily basis and utilizes the source which it believes to be cost effective. Deposits. The Bank attempts to price its deposits in order to promote deposit growth and offers a wide array of deposit products in order to satisfy its customers' needs. The Bank's current deposit products include statement savings accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal ("NOW") and checking accounts, money market deposit accounts, fixed-rate, fixed-maturity retail certificates of deposit ranging in terms from seven days to 10 years, individual retirement accounts, and non-retail certificates of deposit consisting of jumbo (generally greater than $95,000) certificates, inverse variable-rate certificates and brokered certificates of deposit. The Bank's retail deposits are generally obtained from residents in its primary market area. The principal methods currently used by the Bank to attract deposit accounts include offering a wide variety of value-added products and services and competitive interest rates. The Bank utilizes traditional 64 marketing methods to attract new customers and savings deposits, including various forms of advertising. The Bank also utilizes the services of deposit brokers to attract non-retail certificates of deposit. Management estimates that as of December 31, 1995, non-retail deposit accounts totalled $29.9 million or 26.1% of the Bank's total deposits. These non-retail deposits consist largely of jumbo certificates of deposit, inverse variable-rate certificates (which are obtained through brokers) and brokered deposits. The Bank's jumbo certificates of deposit and other deposits are also obtained through the posting of deposit rates on national computerized bulletin boards at no cost to the Bank. The Bank's inverse variable-rate certificates carry rates which fluctuate inversely with respect to market rates of interest. For example, if market rates of interest increase, the rates on the inverse variable-rate certificates would decrease, while if market rates of interest decrease, the rates on the inverse variable-rate certificates would increase. As a result, the Bank would generally be paying a higher rate on such certificates during a declining interest rate environment. The Bank offers inverse variable-rate certificates when they represent a lower cost source of funds. The following table shows the distribution of and certain other information relating to the Bank's deposits by type as of the dates indicated.

FHLB of Indianapolis advances are available for general business purposes to expand lending and investing activities. Borrowings have generally been used to fund the purchase of mortgage-backed and related securities or lending activities and have been collateralized with a pledge of loans, securities in the Company's portfolio or any mortgage-backed or related securities purchased. Advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis are made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. The Company currently has two variable-rate advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis which mature in 1997. At December 31, 1995, the Company had total FHLB of Indianapolis advances of $26.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 5.9%. The Company also obtains funds from the sales of securities to investment dealers under agreements to repurchase ("reverse repurchase agreements"). In a reverse repurchase agreement transaction, the Company will generally sell a mortgage-backed security agreeing to repurchase either the same or a substantially identical security (i.e., "dollar rolls") on a specified later date (generally not more than 90 days) at a price less than the original sales price. The difference in the sale price and purchase price is the cost of the use of the proceeds. The mortgage-backed securities underlying the agreements are delivered to the dealers who arrange the transactions. For agreements in which the Company has agreed to repurchase substantially identical securities, the dealers may sell, loan or otherwise dispose of the Company's securities in the normal course of their operations; however, such dealers or third party custodians safe-keep the securities which are to be specifically repurchased by the Company. Reverse repurchase agreements represent a competitive cost funding source for the Company. Nevertheless, the Company is subject to the risk that the lender may default at maturity and not return the collateral. The amount at risk is the value of the collateral which exceeds the balance of the borrowing. In order to minimize this potential risk, the Company only deals with large, established investment brokerage firms when entering into these transactions. Reverse repurchase transactions are accounted for as financing 67 arrangements rather than as sales of such securities, and the obligation to repurchase such securities is reflected as a liability in the Consolidated Financial Statements. In April 1993, the Company entered into a $10.0 million loan facility with an unrelated financial institution. This facility, as amended in 1995, includes a $9.2 million term loan (the "Refinancing Loan") and a non-revolving line of credit of $800,000. Proceeds from the Refinancing Loan were utilized to repay the unpaid balance of a $10.0 million loan that the Company obtained in 1988 in connection with its acquisition of the Bank (which loan had a principal balance of $6.6 million as of the date of repayment), reduce the average interest rate paid on such indebtedness and increase the capitalization of the Bank. The loan facility matures in March 2000 (which can, under certain circumstances, be extended for an additional five years) and carries an interest rate of 1/2% over the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal if the ratio of the loan balance to the Bank's capital is equal to or less than 50%; otherwise, the interest rate is 1% over the prime rate. The loan facility requires quarterly principal and interest repayments. The loan facility is secured by (i) a general pledge agreement between the parties pursuant to which the Company has pledged 100% of the outstanding stock of the Bank; (ii) a security agreement between the parties pursuant to which the Company has provided a blanket security interest in all of its assets; (iii) a guaranty from Smith Breeden and from Douglas T. Breeden, the Chairman of the Board of Smith Breeden (and of the Company), personally; and (iv) the assignment of life insurance policies on Messrs. Breeden and Cerny by the Company in the aggregate amount of $1.25 million. At December 31, 1995, the total balance of the loan facility was $9.5 million. An April 1996 amendment to the loan facility, which is effective solely upon consummation of the Offering, would recharacterize the aggregate $9.3 principal balance outstanding as a term loan and provide an additional $3.0 million non-revolving line of credit which is intended to further increase the capital of the Bank. Among certain modifications, the guarantees of Smith Breeden and Douglas T. Breeden, referenced above, would be removed. TRUST AND FIDUCIARY SERVICES The Company also provides a full range of trust and investment services, and acts as executor or administrator of estates and as trustee for various types of trusts. Trust and investment services are offered through Harrington Investment Management and Trust Services ("Trust Department"), which was created in December 1994 as a separate division of the Bank. Services offered include financial services related to trusts and estates, money management, custodial services and pension and employee benefits consulting and plan administration. As of December 31, 1995, the Trust Department administered approximately 49 trust/fiduciary accounts, with aggregate assets of $11.5 million at such date. Gross fee income from the Trust Department amounted to $7,000 during the six months ended December 31, 1995 and $4,000 during fiscal 1995, while the Trust Department recognized net losses with respect to its operations of $35,000 and $91,000 during the respective periods. The Company receives fees dependent upon the level and type of service provided. The Trust Department administers trust accounts (revocable, irrevocable and charitable trusts, and trusts under wills), agency accounts (various investment fund products), estate accounts, and employee benefit plan accounts (assorted plans and IRA accounts). The administration of trust and fiduciary accounts are monitored by the Trust Committee of the Board of Directors of the Bank. SUBSIDIARIES The Bank is permitted to invest up to 2% of its assets in the capital stock of, or secured or unsecured loans to, subsidiary corporations, with an additional investment of 1% of assets when such additional investments is utilized primarily for community development purposes. The Bank's only subsidiary, Pine Tree Mortgage Corp., is an inactive corporation formed in 1987 to originate mortgage loans in North Carolina, and has conducted no business since 1988. The Bank's investment in the subsidiary is not material to its operations or financial condition. 68 OFFICES AND OTHER PROPERTIES The Company's principal executive office is located at 7300 College Boulevard, Suite 430, Overland Park, Kansas 66210, which is an office of Smith Breeden. The Company pays no rent or fees to Smith Breeden with respect to such facility. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the offices and other properties of the Bank at December 31, 1995.

Although there are generally no restrictions on the activities of a savings and loan holding company which holds only one subsidiary savings institution under applicable OTS regulations, the Company may be considered to be a multiple savings and loan holding company because principals and affiliates of Smith Breeden are deemed for regulatory purposes to control both the Company and HWFG, a recently formed savings and loan holding company which owns all of the outstanding common stock of Los Padres Savings Bank, F.S.B., Los Padres, California. Multiple savings and loan holding companies are subject to restrictions which do not apply to unitary savings and loan holding companies. Among other things, no multiple savings and loan holding company or subsidiary thereof which is not a savings institution shall commence or continue for a limited period of time after becoming a multiple savings and loan holding company or subsidiary thereof any business activity, upon prior notice to, and no objection by the OTS, other than: (i) furnishing or performing management services for a subsidiary savings institution; (ii) conducting an insurance agency or escrow business; (iii) holding, managing, or liquidating assets owned by or acquired from a subsidiary savings institution; (iv) holding or managing properties used or occupied by a subsidiary savings institution; (v) acting as trustee under deeds of trust; (vi) those activities authorized by regulation as of March 5, 1987 to be engaged in by multiple savings and loan holding companies; or (vii) unless the Director of the OTS by regulation prohibits or limits such activities for savings and loan holding companies, those activities authorized by the Federal Reserve Board as permissible for bank holding companies. Those activities described in (vii) above also must be approved by the Director of the OTS prior to being engaged in by a multiple savings and loan holding company. The Company does not believe that if the OTS designates it as a multiple thrift holding company, such a designation will limit its ability to conduct its normal business operations. In addition, if the Director of the OTS determines that there is reasonable cause to believe that the continuation by a savings and loan holding company of an activity constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of its subsidiary savings institution, the Director may impose such restrictions as deemed necessary to address such risk, including limiting (i) payment of dividends by the savings institution; (ii) transactions between the savings institution and its affiliates; and (ii) any activities of the savings institution that might create a serious risk that the liabilities of the holding company and its affiliates may be imposed on the savings institution. Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates. Transactions between savings institutions and any affiliate are governed by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. An affiliate of a savings institution is any company or entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the savings institution. In a holding company context, the parent holding company of a savings institution (such as the Company) and any companies which are controlled by such parent holding company are 70 affiliates of the savings institution. Generally, Sections 23A and 23B (i) limit the extent to which the savings institution or its subsidiaries may engage in "covered transactions" with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such institution's capital stock and surplus, and contain an aggregate limit on all such transactions with all affiliates to an amount equal to 20% of such capital stock and surplus and (ii) require that all such transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, to the institution or subsidiary as those provided to a non-affiliate. The term "covered transaction" includes the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance of a guarantee and other similar transactions. In addition to the restrictions imposed by Sections 23A and 23B, no savings institution may (i) loan or otherwise extend credit to an affiliate, except for any affiliate which engages only in activities which are permissible for bank holding companies, or (ii) purchase or invest in any stocks, bonds, debentures, notes or similar obligations of any affiliate, except for affiliates which are subsidiaries of the savings institution. In addition, Sections 22(h) and (g) of the Federal Reserve Act places restrictions on loans to executive officers, directors and principal stockholders. Under Section 22(h), loans to a director, an executive officer and to a greater than 10% stockholder of a savings institution, and certain affiliated interests of either, may not exceed, together with all other outstanding loans to such person and affiliated interests, the savings institution's loans to one borrower limit (generally equal to 15% of the institution's unimpaired capital and surplus). Section 22(h) also requires that loans to directors, executive officers and principal stockholders be made on terms substantially the same as offered in comparable transactions to other persons and also requires prior board approval for certain loans. In addition, the aggregate amount of extensions of credit by a savings institution to all insiders cannot exceed the institution's unimpaired capital and surplus. Furthermore, Section 22(g) places additional restrictions on loans to executive officers. At December 31, 1995, the Bank was in compliance with the above restrictions. Restrictions on Acquisitions. Except under limited circumstances, savings and loan holding companies are prohibited from acquiring, without prior approval of the Director of the OTS, (i) control of any other savings institution or savings and loan holding company or substantially all the assets thereof or (ii) more than 5% of the voting shares of a savings institution or holding company thereof which is not a subsidiary. Except with the prior approval of the Director of the OTS, no director or officer of a savings and loan holding company or person owning or controlling by proxy or otherwise more than 25% of such company's stock, may acquire control of any savings institution, other than a subsidiary savings institution, or of any other savings and loan holding company. The Director of the OTS may only approve acquisitions resulting in the formation of a multiple savings and loan holding company which controls savings institutions in more than one state if (i) the multiple savings and loan holding company involved controls a savings institution which operated a home or branch office located in the state of the institution to be acquired as of March 5, 1987; (ii) the acquiror is authorized to acquire control of the savings institution pursuant to the emergency acquisition provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDIA"); or (iii) the statutes of the state in which the institution to be acquired is located specifically permit institutions to be acquired by the state-chartered institutions or savings and loan holding companies located in the state where the acquiring entity is located (or by a holding company that controls such state-chartered savings institutions). Under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, the Federal Reserve Board is authorized to approve an application by a bank holding company to acquire control of a savings institution. In addition, a bank holding company that controls a savings institution may merge or consolidate the assets and liabilities of the savings institution with, or transfer assets and liabilities to, any subsidiary bank which is a member of the BIF with the approval of the appropriate federal banking agency and the Federal Reserve Board. As a result of these provisions, there have been a number of acquisitions of savings institutions by bank holding companies in recent years. 71 THE BANK General. The OTS has extensive authority over the operations of federally chartered savings institutions. As part of this authority, savings institutions are required to file periodic reports with the OTS and are subject to periodic examinations by the OTS and the FDIC. The last regulatory examination of the Bank by the OTS was conducted in January 1995. The Bank was not required to make any material changes to its operations as a result of such examination. The investment and lending authority of savings institutions are prescribed by federal laws and regulations, and such institutions are prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws and regulations. Those laws and regulations generally are applicable to all federally chartered savings institutions and may also apply to state-chartered savings institutions. Such regulation and supervision is primarily intended for the protection of depositors. The OTS' enforcement authority over all savings institutions and their holding companies includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with the OTS. Insurance of Accounts. The deposits of the Bank are insured to the maximum extent permitted by the SAIF, which is administered by the FDIC, and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. As insurer, the FDIC is authorized to conduct examinations of, and to require reporting by, FDIC-insured institutions. It also may prohibit any FDIC-insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious threat to the FDIC. The FDIC also has the authority to initiate enforcement actions against savings institutions, after giving the OTS an opportunity to take such action. Both the SAIF and BIF are statutorily required to be capitalized to a ratio of 1.25% of insured reserve deposits. While the BIF has reached the required reserve ratio, the SAIF is not expected to be recapitalized until 2002 at the earliest. Legislation has authorized $8 billion for the SAIF; however, such funds only become available to the SAIF if the FDIC determines that the funds are needed to cover losses of the SAIF and several other stringent criteria are met. On November 14, 1995, the FDIC approved a final rule regarding deposit insurance premiums. The final rule will reduce deposit insurance premiums for BIF member institutions to zero basis points (subject to a $2,000 minimum) for institutions in the lowest risk category, while holding deposit insurance premiums for SAIF members at their current levels (23 basis points for institutions in the lowest risk category, as discussed below.) The reduction was effective with respect to the semiannual premium assessment beginning January 1, 1996. Under current FDIC regulations, SAIF member institutions are assigned to one of three capital groups which are based solely on the level of an institution's capital--"well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," and "undercapitalized." These three groups are then divided into three subgroups which reflect varying levels of supervisory concern, from those which are considered to be healthy to those which are considered to be of substantial supervisory concern. The matrix so created results in nine assessment risk classifications, with rates ranging from .23% for well capitalized, healthy institutions to .31% for undercapitalized institutions with substantial supervisory concerns. The insurance premium for the Bank for 1995 was .23% (per annum) of insured deposits. For a discussion of alternatives to mitigate the effect of the BIF/SAIF premium disparity, see "Risk Factors--Recapitalization of SAIF and Related Legislative Proposals." The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution, including the Bank, if it determines after a hearing that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or if the insured 72 depository institution or any of its directors or trustees have violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed by an agreement with the FDIC. It also may suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for the permanent termination of insurance, if the institution has no tangible capital. If insurance of accounts is terminated, the accounts at the institution at the time of the termination, less subsequent withdrawals, shall continue to be insured for a period of six months to two years, as determined by the FDIC. Management is aware of no existing circumstances which would result in termination of the Bank's deposit insurance. Regulatory Capital Requirements. Federally insured savings institutions are required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital. The OTS has established capital standards applicable to all savings institutions. These standards generally must be as stringent as the comparable capital requirements imposed on national banks. The OTS also is authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual institutions on a case-by-case basis. Current OTS capital standards require savings institutions to satisfy three different capital requirements. Under these standards, savings institutions must maintain "tangible" capital equal to at least 1.5% of adjusted total assets, "core" capital equal to at least 3.0% of adjusted total assets and "total" capital (a combination of core and "supplementary" capital) equal to at least 8.0% of "risk-weighted" assets. For purposes of the regulation, core capital generally consists of common stockholders' equity (including retained earnings), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, minority interests in the equity accounts of fully consolidated subsidiaries, certain nonwithdrawable accounts and pledged deposits and "qualifying supervisory goodwill." Tangible capital is given the same definition as core capital but does not include qualifying supervisory goodwill and is reduced by the amount of all the savings institution's intangible assets, with only a limited exception for purchased mortgage servicing rights. The Bank had no goodwill or other intangible assets at December 31, 1995. Both core and tangible capital are further reduced by an amount equal to a savings institution's debt and equity investments in subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible to national banks (other than subsidiaries engaged in activities undertaken as agent for customers or in mortgage banking activities and subsidiary depository institutions or their holding companies). At December 31, 1995, there were no such adjustments to the Bank's regulatory capital. In determining compliance with the risk-based capital requirement, a savings institution is allowed to include both core capital and supplementary capital in its total capital, provided that the amount of supplementary capital included does not exceed the savings institution's core capital. Supplementary capital generally consists of hybrid capital instruments; perpetual preferred stock which is not eligible to be included as core capital; subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock; and general allowances for loan losses up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. In determining the required amount of risk-based capital, total assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, are multiplied by a risk weight based on the risks inherent in the type of assets. The risk weights assigned by the OTS for principal categories of assets are (i) 0% for cash and securities issued by the U.S. Government or unconditionally backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government; (ii) 20% for securities (other than equity securities) issued by U.S. Government-sponsored agencies and mortgage-backed securities issued by, or fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, FNMA or FHLMC, except for those classes with residual characteristics or stripped mortgage-related securities; (iii) 50% for prudently underwritten permanent one- to four-family first lien mortgage loans not more than 90 days delinquent and having a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 80% at origination unless insured to such ratio by an insurer approved by FNMA or FHLMC, qualifying residential bridge loans made directly for the construction of one- to four-family residences and qualifying multi-family residential loans; and (iv) 100% for all other loans and investments, including consumer loans, commercial loans, and one- to four-family residential real estate loans more than 90 days delinquent, and for repossessed assets. 73 In August 1995, the OTS and other federal banking agencies published a final rule modifying their existing risk-based capital standards to provide for consideration of interest rate risk when assessing capital adequacy of a bank. Under the final rule, the OTS must explicitly include a bank's exposure to declines in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates as a factor in evaluating a bank's capital adequacy. In addition, in August 1995, the OTS and the other federal banking agencies published a joint policy statement for public comment that describes the process the banking agencies will use to measure and assess the exposure of a bank's net economic value to change in interest rates. Under the policy statement, the OTS will consider results of supervisory and internal interest rate risk models as one factor in evaluating capital adequacy. The OTS intends, at a future date, to incorporate explicit minimum requirements for interest rate risk in its risk-based capital standards through the use of a model developed from the policy statement, a future proposed rule and the public comments received therefrom. See "Regulatory Capital Requirements" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Asset and Liability Management." Any savings institution that fails any of the capital requirements is subject to possible enforcement actions by the OTS or the FDIC. Such actions could include a capital directive, a cease and desist order, civil money penalties, the establishment of restrictions on the institution's operations (including growth), termination of federal deposit insurance and the appointment of a conservator or receiver. The OTS' capital regulation provides that such actions, through enforcement proceedings or otherwise, could require one or more of a variety of corrective actions. Liquidity Requirements. All savings institutions are required to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage of the sum of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less. The liquidity requirement may vary from time to time (between 4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions and savings flows of all savings institutions. At the present time, the required minimum liquid asset ratio is 5%. At December 31, 1995, the Bank's liquidity ratio was 5.19%. Capital Distributions. OTS regulations govern capital distributions by savings institutions, which include cash dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers, interest payments on certain convertible debt and other transactions charged to the capital account of a savings institution to make capital distributions. Generally, the regulation creates a safe harbor for specified levels of capital distributions from institutions meeting at least their minimum capital requirements, so long as such institutions notify the OTS and receive no objection to the distribution from the OTS. Savings institutions and distributions that do not qualify for the safe harbor are required to obtain prior OTS approval before making any capital distributions. Generally, a savings institution that before and after the proposed distribution meets or exceeds its fully phased-in capital requirements (Tier 1 institutions) may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to the higher of (i) 100% of net income for the calendar year-to-date plus 50% of its "surplus capital ratio" at the beginning of the calendar year or (ii) 75% of net income over the most recent four-quarter period. The "surplus capital ratio" is defined to mean the percentage by which the institution's ratio of total capital to assets exceeds the ratio of its fully phased-in capital requirement to assets. "Fully phased-in capital requirement" is defined to mean an institution's capital requirement under the statutory and regulatory standards applicable on December 31, 1994, as modified to reflect any applicable individual minimum capital requirement imposed upon the institution. Failure to meet fully phased-in or minimum capital requirements will result in further restrictions on capital distributions, including possible prohibition without explicit OTS approval. In order to make distributions under these safe harbors, Tier 1 institutions such as the Bank must submit 30 days written notice to the OTS prior to making the distribution. The OTS may object to the distribution during that 30-day period based on safety and soundness concerns. 74 In December 1994, the OTS published a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend its capital distribution regulation. Under the proposal, institutions would be permitted to only make capital distributions that would not result in their capital being reduced below the level required to remain "adequately capitalized." Because the Bank will be a subsidiary of a holding company, the proposal would require the Bank to provide notice to the OTS of its intent to make a capital distribution. The Bank does not believe that the proposal will adversely affect its ability to make capital distributions if it is adopted substantially as proposed. Loans to One Borrower. The permissible amount of loans-to-one borrower now generally follows the national bank standard for all loans made by savings institutions, as compared to the pre-FIRREA rule that applied that standard only to commercial loans made by federally chartered savings institutions. The national bank standard generally does not permit loans-to-one borrower to exceed the greater of $500,000 or 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus. Loans in an amount equal to an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus also may be made to a borrower if the loans are fully secured by readily marketable securities. For information about the largest borrowers from the Bank, see "Business--Lending Activities." Branching by Federal Savings Institutions. OTS policy permits interstate branching to the full extent permitted by statute (which is essentially unlimited). Generally, federal law prohibits federal savings institutions from establishing, retaining or operating a branch outside the state in which the federal institution has its home office unless the institution meets the IRS' domestic building and loan test (generally, 60% of a thrift's assets must be housing-related) ("IRS Test"). The IRS Test requirement does not apply if, among other things, the law of the state where the branch would be located would permit the branch to be established if the federal savings institution were chartered by the state in which its home office is located. Furthermore, the OTS will evaluate a branching applicant's record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA"). An unsatisfactory CRA record may be the basis for denial of a branching application. Qualified Thrift Lender Test. All savings institutions are required to meet a QTL test to avoid certain restrictions on their operations. A savings institution that does not meet the QTL test must either convert to a bank charter or comply with the following restrictions on its operations: (i) the institution may not engage in any new activity or make any new investment, directly or indirectly, unless such activity or investment is permissible for a national bank; (ii) the branching powers of the institution shall be restricted to those of a national bank; (iii) the institution shall not be eligible to obtain any advances from its FHLB; and (iv) payment of dividends by the institution shall be subject to the rules regarding payment of dividends by a national bank. Upon the expiration of three years from the date the savings institution ceases to be a QTL, it must cease any activity and not retain any investment not permissible for a national bank and immediately repay any outstanding FHLB advances (subject to safety and soundness considerations). Currently, the QTL test requires that 65% of an institution's "portfolio assets" (as defined) consist of certain housing and consumer-related assets on a monthly average basis in nine out of every 12 months. Assets that qualify without limit for inclusion as part of the 65% requirement are loans made to purchase, refinance, construct, improve or repair domestic residential housing and manufactured housing; home equity loans; mortgage-backed securities (where the mortgages are secured by domestic residential housing or manufactured housing); stock issued by the FHLB of Indianapolis; and direct or indirect obligations of the FDIC. In addition, the following assets, among others, may be included in meeting the test subject to an overall limit of 20% of the savings institution's portfolio assets: 50% of residential mortgage loans originated and sold within 90 days of origination; 100% of consumer and educational loans (limited to 10% of total portfolio assets); and stock issued by FHLMC or FNMA. Portfolio assets consist of total assets minus the sum of (i) goodwill and other intangible assets, (ii) property used by the savings institution to conduct its business, and (iii) liquid assets up to 20% of the 75 institution's total assets. At December 31, 1995, the qualified thrift investments of the Bank were approximately 96.8% of its portfolio assets. Accounting Requirements. Applicable OTS accounting regulations and reporting requirements apply the following standards: (i) regulatory reports will incorporate generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") when GAAP is used by federal banking agencies; (ii) savings institution transactions, financial condition and regulatory capital must be reported and disclosed in accordance with OTS regulatory reporting requirements that will be at least as stringent as for national banks; and (iii) the Director of the OTS may prescribe regulatory reporting requirements more stringent than GAAP whenever the Director determines that such requirements are necessary to ensure the safe and sound reporting and operation of savings institutions. Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Indianapolis, which is one of 12 regional FHLBs that administers the home financing credit function of savings institutions. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the FHLB. At December 31, 1995, the Company had $26.0 million of FHLB advances. See "Business--Sources of Funds--Borrowings." As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB of Indianapolis in an amount equal to at least 1% of its aggregate unpaid residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts or similar obligations at the beginning of each year. At December 31, 1995, the Bank had $2.5 million in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement. The FHLBs are required to provide funds for the resolution of troubled savings institutions and to contribute to affordable housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing projects. These contributions have adversely affected the level of FHLB dividends paid in the past and could continue to do so in the future. These contributions also could have an adverse effect on the value of FHLB stock in the future. Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW and Super NOW checking accounts) and non-personal time deposits. As of December 31, 1995, the Bank was in compliance with this requirement. Because required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or a noninterest-bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of this reserve requirement is to reduce an institution's earning assets. FEDERAL TAXATION General. The Company and Bank are subject to the generally applicable corporate tax provisions of the Code, and Bank is subject to certain additional provisions of the Code which apply to thrifts and other types of financial institutions. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize certain pertinent federal income tax matters material to the taxation of the Company and the Bank and is not a comprehensive discussion of the tax rules applicable to the Company and Bank. Year. The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return on the basis of a fiscal year ending on June 30. The Company's federal income tax returns for the tax years ended June 30, 1992 forward are open under the statute of limitations and are subject to review by the IRS. Bad Debt Reserves. Savings institutions, such as the Bank, which meet certain definitional tests primarily relating to their assets and the nature of their businesses, are permitted to establish a reserve for bad debts and to make annual additions to the reserve. These additions may, within specified 76 formula limits, be deducted in arriving at the institution's taxable income. For purposes of computing the deductible addition to its bad debt reserve, the institution's loans are separated into "qualifying real property loans" (i.e., generally those loans secured by certain interests in real property) and all other loans ("non-qualifying loans"). The deduction with respect to non-qualifying loans must be computed under the experience method as described below. The following formulas may be used to compute the bad debt deduction with respect to qualifying real property loans: (i) actual loss experience, or (ii) a percentage of taxable income. Reasonable additions to the reserve for losses on non-qualifying loans must be based upon actual loss experience and would reduce the current year's addition to the reserve for losses on qualifying real property loans, unless that addition is also determined under the experience method. The sum of the additions to each reserve for each year is the institution's annual bad debt deduction. Under the experience method, the deductible annual addition to the institution's bad debt reserves is the amount necessary to increase the balance of the reserve at the close of the taxable year to the greater of (a) the amount which bears the same ratio to loans outstanding at the close of the taxable year as the total net bad debts sustained during the current and five preceding taxable years bear to the sum of the loans outstanding at the close of the six years, or (b) the lower of (i) the balance of the reserve account at the close of the Bank's "base year," which was its tax year ended December 31, 1987, or (ii) if the amount of loans outstanding at the close of the taxable year is less than the amount of loans outstanding at the close of the base year, the amount which bears the same ratio to loans outstanding at the close of the taxable year as the balance of the reserve at the close of the base year bears to the amount of loans outstanding at the close of the base year. Under the percentage of taxable income method, the bad debt deduction equals 8% of taxable income determined without regard to that deduction and with certain adjustments. The availability of the percentage of taxable income method permits a qualifying savings institution to be taxed at a lower effective federal income tax rate than that applicable to corporations in general. This resulted generally in an effective federal income tax rate payable by a qualifying savings institution fully able to use the maximum deduction permitted under the percentage of taxable income method, in the absence of other factors affecting taxable income, of 31.3% exclusive of any minimum tax or environmental tax (as compared to 34% for corporations generally). For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1993, the maximum corporate tax rate was increased to 35%, which increased the maximum effective federal income tax rate payable by a qualifying savings institution fully able to use the maximum deduction to 32.2%. Any savings institution at least 60% of whose assets are qualifying assets, as described in the Code, will generally be eligible for the full deduction of 8% of taxable income. As of December 31, 1995, approximately 91.5% of the assets of the Bank were "qualifying assets" as defined in the Code, and the Bank anticipates that at least 60% of its assets will continue to be qualifying assets in the immediate future. If this ceases to be the case, the institution may be required to restore some portion of its bad debt reserve to taxable income in the future. Under the percentage of taxable income method, the bad debt deduction for an addition to the reserve for qualifying real property loans cannot exceed the amount necessary to increase the balance in this reserve to an amount equal to 6% of such loans outstanding at the end of the taxable year. The bad debt deduction is also limited to the amount which, when added to the addition to the reserve for losses on non-qualifying loans, equals the amount by which 12% of deposits at the close of the year exceeds the sum of surplus, undivided profits and reserves at the beginning of the year. Based on experience, it is not expected that these restrictions will be a limiting factor for the Bank in the foreseeable future. In addition, the deduction for qualifying real property loans is reduced by an amount equal to all or part of the deduction for non-qualifying loans. At December 31, 1995, the federal income tax reserves of the Company included $3.0 million for which no federal income tax has been provided. 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 77 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 corporation income tax rate. For information concerning pending legislation which would restrict the Bank's ability to utilize the percentage of taxable income method and require recapture of a portion of the Company's bad debt reserves, see "Risk Factors--Pending Legislation Regarding Bad Debt Reserves." STATE TAXATION The State of Indiana imposes a franchise tax on the "adjusted gross income" of financial institutions at a fixed rate of 8.5% per annum. This franchise tax is imposed in lieu of the gross income tax, adjusted gross income tax, and supplemental net income tax otherwise imposed on certain corporate entities. "Adjusted gross income" is computed by making certain modifications to an institution's federal taxable income. Tax-exempt interest, for example, is included in the savings association's adjusted gross income and the bad debt deduction is limited to actual charge-offs for purposes of the financial institutions tax. 78 MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS The following table sets forth information with respect to the directors of the Company and the Bank. For information regarding the number of shares of Common stock beneficially owned by each director, see "Beneficial Ownership of Securities." There are no arrangements or understandings between the Company and the Bank and any person pursuant to which such person has been elected as a director, and no director is related to any other directors or executive officer of the Company or the Bank by blood, marriage or adoption.

Information concerning the principal position with the Company and the Bank and principal occupation of each director during the past five years is set forth below. Craig J. Cerny. Mr. Cerny has been the President of the Company and the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank since February 1992. Prior thereto, Mr. Cerny was the Company's Executive Vice President since 1988. Mr. Cerny has been the Bank's President since July 1994. Mr. Cerny currently serves as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of HWFG and as a director of its wholly owned subsidiary, Los Padres Savings Bank, F.S.B. Mr. Cerny is a Principal, Executive Vice President and Director of Smith Breeden where he has been employed since April 1985.

The Company has recently established the ESOP for employees of the Company and the Bank. Full-time employees of the Company and the Bank who have been credited with at least 1,000 hours of service during a twelve month period and who have attained age 21 are eligible to participate in the ESOP. The Company expects to contribute sufficient funds to the ESOP in order to cause the ESOP to purchase up to 7,000 shares in the Offering. The Company may, in any plan year, make additional discretionary contributions for the benefit of plan participants in either cash or shares of Common Stock, which may be acquired through the purchase of outstanding shares of Common Stock in the market or from individual stockholders, upon the original issuance of additional shares by the Company or upon the sale of treasury shares by the Company. Such purchases, if made, could be funded through borrowing by the ESOP or additional contributions from the Company. The timing, amount and manner of future contributions to the ESOP will be affected by various factors, including prevailing regulatory policies, the requirements of applicable laws and regulations and market conditions. Any shares of Common Stock purchased by the ESOP with the proceeds of a loan will be held in a suspense account and released on a pro rata basis as debt service payments are made. Discretionary contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the suspense account will be allocated among participants on the basis of compensation. Forfeitures will be reallocated among remaining participating employees and may reduce any amount the Company might otherwise have contributed to the ESOP. Participants will vest in their right to receive their account balances within the ESOP at the rate of 20 percent per year. In the case of a "change in control," as defined, however, participants will become immediately fully vested in their account balances, subject to certain tax considerations. Benefits may be payable upon retirement, early retirement, disability or separation from service. Catherine A. Habschmidt, James C. Stapleton and Craig J. Cerny will serve as trustees of the ESOP. Under the ESOP, the trustee must vote all allocated shares held in the ESOP in accordance with the instructions of the participating employees, and allocated shares for which employees do not give instructions, and unallocated shares, will be voted in the same ratio on any matter as to those shares for which instructions are given. 83 See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-- Recent Accounting Pronouncements" for a discussion of SOP 93-6, which changes the measure of compensation expense recorded by employers for leveraged ESOPs from the cost of ESOP shares to the fair value of ESOP shares. GAAP requires that any third party borrowing by the ESOP be reflected as a liability on the Company's statement of financial condition. If the ESOP purchases newly-issued shares from the Company, total stockholders' equity would neither increase nor decrease, but per share stockholders' equity and per share net earnings would decrease because of the increase in the number of outstanding shares. The ESOP will be subject to the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and the regulations of the IRS and the Department of Labor thereunder. Stock Option Plan. The Board of Directors of the Company recently adopted the Stock Option Plan, which is designed to attract and retain qualified personnel in key positions, provide officers and key employees with a proprietary interest in the Company as an incentive to contribute to the success of the Company, reward key employees for outstanding performance and the attainment of targeted goals, and retain qualified directors for the Company and the Bank. The Stock Option Plan was approved by the Company's stockholders in March 1996. An amount of Common Stock equal to 10% of the Shares sold in the Offering will be authorized under the Stock Option Plan, which may be filled by authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or shares purchased by the Company on the open market or from private sources. The Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options intended to comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code ("incentive stock options"), non-incentive or compensatory stock options and stock appreciation rights (collectively "Awards"). Awards are available for grant to directors and key employees of the Company and any subsidiaries, except that directors will not be eligible to receive incentive stock options. The Stock Option Plan will be administered and interpreted by a committee of the Board of Directors ("Committee") which is "disinterested" pursuant to applicable regulations under the federal securities laws. Unless sooner terminated, the Stock Option Plan will be in effect for a period of ten years from the earlier of adoption by the Board of Directors or approval by the Company's stockholders. Under the Stock Option Plan, the Committee will determine which officers and key employees will be granted options, whether such options will be incentive or compensatory options, the number of shares subject to each option, whether such options may be exercised by delivering other shares of Common Stock and when such options become exercisable. The per share exercise price of all stock options shall be required to be at least equal to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the option is granted. Stock options shall become vested and exercisable in the manner specified by the Committee at the rate of 20% per year, beginning one year from the date of grant. Each stock option or portion thereof shall be exercisable at any time on or after it vests and is exercisable until ten years after its date of grant or three months after the date on which the optionee's employment terminates, unless extended by the Committee to a period not to exceed one year from such termination. However, failure to exercise incentive stock options within three months after the date on which the optionee's employment terminates may result in adverse tax consequences to the optionee. Stock options are non-transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Under the Stock Option Plan, the Committee will be authorized to grant rights to optionees ("stock appreciation rights") under which an optionee may surrender any exercisable incentive stock option or compensatory stock option or part thereof in return for payment by the Company to the optionee of cash or Common Stock in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of Common 84 Stock subject to option at the time over the option price of such shares, or a combination of cash and Common Stock. Stock appreciation rights may be granted concurrently with the stock options to which they relate or at any time thereafter which is prior to the exercise or expiration of such options. Options granted to directors under the Stock Option Plan are awarded under a formula pursuant to which directors will receive a specified number of shares upon commencement of the Offering and a specified number of shares annually for four years thereafter. Such stock options to directors will be vested and exercisable under the same terms as options granted by the Committee to officers and employees. Although no awards have been made to date to officers and employees under the Stock Option Plan, it is expected that options to acquire shares of Common Stock will be awarded to key employees of the Company and the Bank. All unvested options are accelerated in the event of retirement under the Bank's normal retirement policies or a change in control of the Company, as defined in the Stock Option Plan. In addition, if an optionee dies or terminates service due to disability, while serving as an employee or non-employee director, all unvested options are accelerated. Under such circumstances, the optionee or, as the case may be, the optionee's executors, administrators, legatees or distributees, shall have the right to exercise all unexercised options during the twelve-month period following termination due to disability, retirement or death, provided no option will be exercisable within six months after the date of grant or more than ten years from the date it was granted. In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split or stock dividend, the number of shares of Common Stock under the Stock Option Plan, the number of shares to which any Award relates and the exercise price per share under any option or stock appreciation right shall be adjusted to reflect such increase or decrease in the total number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding. Under current provisions of the Code, the federal income tax treatment of incentive stock options and compensatory stock options is different. With respect to incentive stock options, an optionee who meets certain holding period requirements will not recognize income at the time the option is granted or at the time the option is exercised, and a federal income tax deduction generally will not be available to the Company at any time as a result of such grant or exercise. With respect to compensatory stock options, the difference between the fair market value on the date of exercise and the option exercise price generally will be treated as compensation income upon exercise, and the Company will be entitled to a deduction in the amount of income so recognized by the optionee. Upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right, the holder will realize income for federal income tax purposes equal to the amount received by him, whether in cash, shares of stock or both, and the Company will be entitled to a deduction for federal income tax purposes in the same amount. The Company has previously awarded options on a periodic basis without a specific option plan. At December 31, 1995, the Company had granted stock options to directors and officers of the Company and the Bank and certain other affiliates of Smith Breeden to purchase an aggregate of 137,200 shares of Common Stock at $7.50 per share, which are exercisable between December 15, 1997 and January 15, 1998. See also "--Executive Compensation" and "Beneficial Ownership of Securities." Profit Sharing Plan. On July 1, 1990, the Bank adopted the Financial Institutions Thrift Plan ("Profit Sharing Plan"), which is a tax-qualified defined contribution plan. All employees are eligible to participate in the Profit Sharing Plan on the first day of the month following the employee's date of employment. Under the Profit Sharing Plan, a separate account is established for each participating employee and the Bank may make discretionary contributions to the Profit Sharing Plan which are allocated to the participants' accounts. Participants vest in employer discretionary contributions over a six year period. Distributions from the Profit Sharing Plan are made upon termination of service, death or disability in a lump sum. The normal retirement age under the plan is age 65. 85 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Summary Compensation Table.

The Bank's policy provides that all loans made by the Bank to its directors and officers are made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. The Bank's policy provides that such loans may not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. As of December 31, 1995, mortgage and consumer loans to employees in excess of $60,000 aggregated $74,000 or 0.7% of the Company's consolidated stockholders' equity as of such date. All such loans were made by the Bank in accordance with the aforementioned policy. The Bank entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Smith Breeden dated as of April 1, 1992, as amended on March 1, 1995. Under the terms of the agreement, the Bank appointed Smith Breeden as investment advisor with respect to the management of the Bank's portfolio of investments and its asset and liability management strategies (the "Account"). Specifically, Smith Breeden advises and consults with the Bank with respect to its investment activities, including the acquisition of mortgage-backed securities, the use of repurchase agreement transactions in funding and the acquisition of certain hedging instruments to reduce the interest rate risk of the Account's investments. Under the Agreement, Smith Breeden, as agent and attorney-in-fact with respect to the Account, may (i) buy, sell, exchange and otherwise trade in mortgage-backed securities or other investments, and (ii) arrange for necessary placement of orders, execution of transactions, purchases, sales and conveyances with or through such brokers, dealers, issuers or other persons as Smith Breeden may select, subject to the approval of the Bank, and establish the price and trade conditions, including brokerage commissions. For its services, Smith Breeden receives a monthly fee which is based on the Bank's total consolidated assets plus unsettled purchases of securities and minus unsettled sales of securities. Smith Breeden received fees of $114,000, $195,000, $183,000 and $187,000 during the six months ended December 31, 1995 and fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, under such agreement.

(1) Based upon information furnished by the respective individuals. Under regulations promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if he or she directly or indirectly has or shares (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the shares, or (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the shares. Unless otherwise indicated, the named beneficial owner has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares. (2) Stock options have been granted for an aggregate of 137,200 shares of Common Stock, all of which are exercisable between December 15, 1997 and January 15, 1998 at $7.50 per share. Does not reflect any options to be granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan. See "Management-- Benefits--Stock Option Plan." (3) Assumes no exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option. (4) An aggregate of 726,710 shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Breeden have been pledged to secure repayment of certain indebtedness. See "Business--Sources of Funds--Borrowings." 88 SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have outstanding 3,091,738 shares of Common Stock (3,256,738 if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is fully exercised). The 1,100,000 Shares being offered hereby (1,265,000 Shares if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is fully exercised) will be freely tradeable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), except for shares purchased by "affiliates" of the Company. The 1,991,738 outstanding shares of Common Stock which were issued and sold by the Company in private transactions prior to the Offering are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 ("Rule "144") of the SEC. Consequently, such shares may not be resold unless they are registered under the Act or sold pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration, such as Rule 144. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a shareholder (or shareholders whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned "restricted" shares for at least two years or an affiliate is entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of (i) one percent of the then outstanding shares or (ii) the average weekly trading volume of the shares reported through the Nasdaq Stock Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the SEC. Sales under Rule 144 are subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about the Company. A shareholder who is not deemed an affiliate of the Company at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned his or her shares for a least three years, is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to volume limitations, manner of sale provisions, notice requirements or the availability of current public information concerning the Company. The Company has granted stock options for an aggregate of 137,200 shares of Common Stock to directors and officers of the Company and the Bank and affiliates of Smith Breeden, which are exercisable between December 15, 1997 and January 15, 1998. Shares acquired upon the exercise of these options will be "restricted securities" subject to the resale provisions of Rule 144, as described above, except for any such shares registered under the Securities Act if held by non-affiliates of the Company. The Company has also reserved for issuance 110,000 shares of common stock under the Stock Option Plan. The Company intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register the 110,000 shares issuable under the Stock Option Plan. Any such shares issued upon exercise of such stock options by non-affiliates will, after the effective date of such registration statement, generally be available for sale in the open market. The Company, its ESOP, and its directors and executive officers and certain other affiliates of Smith Breeden, who collectively will own 2,278,274 shares of Common Stock after the Offering (73.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock following the Offering) have agreed that they will not sell any shares owned by them without the prior written consent of the Underwriters for a period of 180 days from the date of this Prospectus (the "Lockup Period"). Following the expiration of the Lockup Period, such shares will be available for sale in the public market subject to compliance with Rule 144. See "Underwriting." 89 DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK GENERAL The Company is authorized to issue 15,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 10,000,000 are shares of Common Stock, par value $0.125 per share, and 5,000,000 are shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share. The Company will issue up to a maximum of 1,265,000 shares of Common Stock (assuming full exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option) and no shares of preferred stock in the Offering. Each Share will have the same relative rights as, and will be identical in all respects with, each other share of Common Stock. Neither the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation ("Articles") nor Amended and Restated Bylaws ("Bylaws") of the Company contain a restriction on the issuance of shares of capital stock to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Company. Thus, stock-related compensation plans could be adopted by the Company without shareholder approval and shares of Company capital stock could be issued directly to directors, officers or controlling persons without shareholder approval. The Bylaws of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., however, generally require corporations with securities which are quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market to obtain shareholder approval of most stock compensation plans for directors, officers and key employees of the corporation. Moreover, although generally not required, shareholder approval of stock-related compensation plans may be sought in certain instances in order to qualify such plans for favorable federal income tax and securities law treatment under current laws and regulations. THE COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY DOES NOT REPRESENT NONWITHDRAWABLE CAPITAL, IS NOT AN ACCOUNT OF AN INSURABLE TYPE, AND IS NOT INSURED BY THE FDIC. COMMON STOCK Dividends. The Company has never paid a dividend and is presently prohibited from paying any dividends on its Common Stock under the terms of an outstanding loan facility with an unrelated financial institution. While the Company will be permitted to pay dividends on the Common Stock following consummation of the Offering in an amount equal to up to 35% of the Company's average consolidated earnings for the prior four quarters (see "Business--Sources of Funds--Borrowings"), the Company does not expect to pay a dividend on its Common Stock following the Offering. Rather, the Company intends to retain earnings and increase capital in furtherance of its overall business objectives. See "Dividends and Market for Common Stock." The holders of Common Stock of the Company will be entitled to receive and share equally in such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors of the Company out of funds legally available therefor. If the Company issues preferred stock, the holders thereof may have a priority over the holders of the Common Stock with respect to dividends. Voting Rights. The holders of Common Stock of the Company possess exclusive voting rights in the Company. They elect the Company's Board of Directors and act on such other matters as are required to be presented to them under Indiana law or the Company's Articles or as are otherwise presented to them by the Board of Directors. Except as discussed in "Restrictions on Acquisition of the Company," each holder of Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per share and will not have any right to cumulate votes in the election of directors. Although there are no present plans to do so, if the Company issues preferred stock, holders of the preferred stock may also possess voting rights. Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Bank, the Company, as the sole holder of the Bank's capital stock, would be entitled to receive, after payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of the Bank (including all deposit accounts and accrued interest thereon), all assets of the Bank available for distribution. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of its Common Stock would be entitled to receive, after payment or provision for payment of all its debts and liabilities, all of the assets of the Company available for distribution. If preferred stock is issued, the holders thereof may have a priority over the holders of the Common Stock in the event of liquidation or dissolution. 90 Preemptive Rights. Holders of the Common Stock of the Company will not be entitled to preemptive rights with respect to any shares which may be issued in the future. The Common Stock is not subject to redemption. PREFERRED STOCK None of the shares of the Company's authorized preferred stock has been issued. Such stock may be issued with such preferences and designations as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. The Board of Directors can, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, liquidation and conversion rights as it may deem appropriate in the circumstances. RESTRICTIONS ON ACQUISITION OF THE COMPANY Restrictions in the Company's Articles and Bylaws. A number of provisions of the Company's Articles and Bylaws deal with matters of corporate governance and certain rights of stockholders. The following discussion is a general summary of certain provisions of the Company's Articles and Bylaws which might be deemed to have a potential "anti-takeover" effect. Reference should be made in each case to such Articles and Bylaws, which are incorporated herein by reference. See "Additional Information" as to how to obtain a copy of these documents. Board of Directors. The Articles of the Company contain provisions relating to the Board of Directors and provide, among other things, that the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible with the term of office of one class expiring each year. See "Management." Cumulative voting in the election of directors is prohibited. Directors may be removed only with cause at a duly constituted meeting of stockholders called expressly for that purpose. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors for any reason (including an increase in the number of authorized directors) may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office, though less than a quorum of the Board, or by the sole remaining director, and a director appointed to fill a vacancy shall serve for the remainder of the term to which the director has been elected, and until his successor has been elected and qualified. The Bylaws govern nominations for election to the Board, and provide that nominations for election to the Board of Directors may be made by the nominating committee of the Board of Directors or by a stockholder eligible to vote at an annual meeting of stockholders who has complied with specified notice requirements. Written notice of a stockholder nomination must be delivered to, or mailed to and received at, the Company's principal executive offices not later than ninety days prior to the anniversary date of the mailing of proxy materials by the Company in connection with the immediately preceding annual meeting and, with respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of stockholders, no later than the close of business on the tenth day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to stockholders. Limitation of Liability. The Company's Articles provide that a director of the Company shall not be personally liable for monetary damages for any action taken or any failure to take any action as a director except to the extent that by law a director's liability for monetary damages may not be limited. The Indiana Business Corporation Law ("IBCL") currently provides that directors (but not officers) of corporations that have adopted such a provision will not be so liable, unless (i) the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of the director's office in compliance with that section, and (ii) the breach or failure to perform constitutes willful misconduct or recklessness. Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and Agents. The Company's Articles provide that the Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, except actions by or in right of the Company, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent authorized by the IBCL, provided 91 that no indemnification shall be made to or on behalf of any individual if a judgment or final adjudication establishes that his or her acts or omissions (i) were in breach of his or her fiduciary duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) were not in good faith or involved a knowing violation of law, or (iii) resulted in the receipt of an improper personal benefit. The Company's Articles also provide that reasonable expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company in defending any civil, criminal, suit or proceeding described above shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding to the full extent permitted under Indiana law. Special Meetings of Stockholders and Stockholder Proposals. The Company's Bylaws provide that special meetings of the Company's stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors then in office or the Secretary upon the written request of the holders of not less than 75% of the shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote at that meeting. Only such business as shall have been properly brought before an annual meeting of stockholders shall be conducted at the annual meeting. In order to be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must either be brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or otherwise by a stockholder who has given timely notice thereof (along with specified information) in writing to the Company. For stockholder proposals to be included in the Company's proxy materials, the stockholder must comply with all the timing and informational requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. With respect to stockholder proposals to be considered at the annual meeting of stockholders but not included in the Company's proxy materials, the stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the mailing of proxy materials by the Company in connection with the immediately preceding annual meeting. Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Company's Articles generally provide that any amendment of the Articles must be first approved by a majority of the Board of Directors and, to the extent required by law, then by the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company entitled to vote in an election of directors, except that the approval of 75% of the shares of the Company entitled to vote in an election of directors is required for any amendment to Articles V (directors), VIII (meetings of stockholders and bylaws), IX (limitation on liability of directors and officers and indemnification) and X (amendment), unless any such proposed amendment is approved by a vote of 80% of the Board of Directors then in office. The Articles also provide, consistent with the IBCL, that the Bylaws of the Company may be amended only by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office. Other Restrictions on Acquisition of the Company. Several provisions of the IBCL could affect the acquisition of Common Stock or control of the Company. Chapter 43 of the IBCL prohibits, without advance approval by the Board, business combinations between corporations such as the Company and any ten percent stockholder for five years following the date on which the person became a ten percent stockholder. If such prior approval is not obtained, several price and procedural requirements must be satisfied before a business combination can be completed. In addition, the IBCL contains provisions designed to assure that minority stockholders have a voice in determining their future relationship with such corporations in the event that a person makes a tender offer for, or otherwise acquires, shares giving the acquiror more than 20.0%, 331/3%, and 50.0% of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation (the "Control Share Acquisition Statute"). If the Control Share Acquisition Statute applies, control shares acquired in a control share acquisition may be subject to redemption at their fair value if such shares are not accorded voting rights by the corporation's stockholders at a special meeting. In addition, in the event control shares acquired in a control share acquisition are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, all shareholders of the corporation will have dissenters' rights and will be able to receive the fair value of their shares, as defined. The Change in Bank Control Act provides that no person, acting directly or indirectly or through or in concert with one or more other persons, may acquire control of a savings association unless the 92 OTS has been given 60 days' prior written notice. The HOLA provides that no company may acquire "control" of a savings association without the prior approval of the OTS. Any company that acquires such control becomes a savings and loan holding company subject to registration, examination and regulation by the OTS. UNDERWRITING The Underwriters named below, represented by Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and NatCity Investments, Inc. (the "Underwriters"), have severally agreed, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, to purchase from the Company the number of Shares indicated below opposite their respective names at the initial offering price less the underwriting discount set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus; provided, however, that with respect to 350,000 Shares expected to be purchased by the Company's officers, directors, existing stockholders and ESOP and principals of Smith Breeden (the "Affiliate Shares"), the underwriting discount shall be $0.35 per share. The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters are subject to certain conditions precedent, and that the Underwriters are committed to purchase all of such Shares, if any are purchased. NUMBER OF UNDERWRITERS SHARES - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated........................ 715,000 NatCity Investments, Inc........................................ 385,000 --------- Total..................................................... 1,100,000 --------- --------- The Underwriters have advised the Company that the Underwriters propose initially to offer the Shares to the public on the terms set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus. The Underwriters may allow to selected dealers a concession of not more than $0.315 per Share, and the Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession of not more than $0.10 to certain other dealers. After the initial Offering, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the Underwriters. No reduction in such terms shall change the amount of proceeds to be received by the Company as set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus. The Shares are offered subject to receipt and acceptance by the Underwriters, and to certain other conditions, including the right to reject an order in whole or in part. The Company has granted an option to the Underwriters, exercisable once during the 30-day period after the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to a maximum of 165,000 additional Shares to cover over-allotments, if any, at the same price per Share as the initial 1,100,000 Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters (exclusive of the Affiliate Shares). To the extent that the Underwriters exercise this option, the Underwriters will be committed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase such additional Shares. The Underwriters may purchase such Shares only to cover over-allotments made in connection with the Offering. The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Company will indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Act, or will contribute to the payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. The Company and its directors and executive officers and certain other shareholders have agreed not to offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of the Common Stock, with certain limited exceptions, for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Underwriters. Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Shares. Consequently, the initial public offering price was determined by negotiations among the Company and the Underwriters. Among the factors considered in such negotiations were the history of, and the prospects for, the 93 Company and the industry in which it competes, an assessment of the Company's management, the Company's past and present operations, its past and present earnings and the trend of such earnings, the prospects for future earnings of the Company, the present state of the Company's development, the general condition of the securities markets at the time of the Offering and the market prices of publicly traded common stocks of comparable companies in recent periods. The Shares have been approved for listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol "HFGI." LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the Common Stock being offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Elias, Matz, Tiernan & Herrick L.L.P., Washington, D.C., and for the Underwriters by Vedder, Price, Kaufman & Kammholz, Chicago, Illinois. EXPERTS The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of June 30, 1995 and for the year ended June 30, 1995, included in this Prospectus have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, as stated in their report appearing herein and elsewhere in the Registration Statement, and have been so included in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing. The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of June 30, 1994 and for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 1994, have been included herein in reliance upon the report of Geo. S. Olive & Co. LLC, independent certified public accountants, which appears elsewhere in this Prospectus, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. Following completion of the audit on the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended June 30, 1994, the Company dismissed Geo. S. Olive & Co. LLC, and engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective June 29, 1995. The change in accountants was recommended by the Board of Directors of the Company. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, the independent auditor's reports with respect to the Company's consolidated financial statements neither contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit-scope or accounting principles. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 and up to the date of the discontinuation of services of Geo. S. Olive & Co. LLC, there were no disagreements with Geo. S. Olive & Co. LLC, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Geo. S. Olive & Co. LLC, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports. During that period, the Company did not consult with Deloitte & Touche LLP regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements or (ii) any other matter that would be required to be reported herein.

F-7 HARRINGTON FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY--Harrington Financial Group, Inc. ("HFG" or the "Company") is a savings and loan holding company incorporated on March 3, 1988 to acquire and hold all of the outstanding common stock of Harrington Bank, FSB (the "Bank"), a federally chartered savings bank with principal offices in Richmond, Indiana and branch locations in Hamilton County, Indiana. BASIS OF PRESENTATION--The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HFG and the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation of the Company's financial statements. The results of operations for the unaudited six month period ended December 31, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year 1996. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. SECURITIES HELD FOR TRADING AND AVAILABLE FOR SALE--Effective June 30, 1993, the Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. SFAS No. 115 addresses the accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities. SFAS No. 115 requires these securities to be classified in one of three categories and accounted for as follows: . Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "securities held to maturity" and reported at amortized cost. . Debt and equity securities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term with the objective of generating economic profits on short-term differences in market characteristics are classified as "securities held for trading" and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. . Debt and equity securities not classified as either held to maturity or trading securities are classified as "securities available for sale" and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, after applicable taxes, excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity. Declines in the value of debt securities and marketable equity securities that are considered to be other than temporary are recorded as a permanent impairment of securities available for sale in the statement of income. Premiums and discounts are amortized over the contractual lives of the related securities using the level yield method. Gains or losses on sales of these securities are based on the specific identification method. The Company records the balance sheet effects of security transactions on a settlement date basis, however, unrealized and realized gains and losses from security transactions are recorded as of the trade date in the statement of income for the year in which the securities are purchased or sold. Net unsettled security purchases were approximately $18,100,000 and $10,300,000 as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. F-8 HARRINGTON FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED) In implementing SFAS No. 115 on June 30, 1993, the Company designated all of its securities as available for sale. During fiscal year 1994, the Company reclassified substantially all of its securities into the trading portfolio. At the time of reclassification to the trading category from the available for sale category, gross gains of $7,210,000 and gross losses of $6,958,000 were included in earnings. The Company's trading portfolio consists of mortgage-backed securities, mortgage-backed security derivatives, equity securities and interest rate contracts, which accordingly are carried at market value. Realized and unrealized changes in market values are recognized in other income in the period in which the changes occur. Interest income from trading activities are included in the statement of income as part of net interest income. The Company's available for sale portfolio consists of municipal bonds and a non-agency participation certificate. Management's estimates of fair value of securities are based upon a number of assumptions such as prepayments which may shorten the life of such securities. Although prepayments of underlying mortgages depend on many factors, including the type of mortgages, the coupon rate, the age of mortgages, the geographical location of the underlying real estate collateralizing the mortgages and general levels of market interest rates, the difference between the interest rates on the underlying mortgages and the prevailing mortgage interest rates generally is the most significant determinant of the rate of prepayments. While management endeavors to use the best information available in determining prepayment assumptions, actual results could differ from those assumptions. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HELD FOR ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT PURPOSES--Effective June 30, 1995, the Bank adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 119, Disclosure About Derivative Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The statement addresses disclosures of derivative financial instruments such as futures, forward rate agreements, interest rate swap agreements, option contracts and other financial instruments with similar characteristics. SFAS No. 119 requires disclosures about amounts and the nature and terms of derivative financial instruments regardless of whether they result in off-balance-sheet risk or accounting loss. The Bank has incorporated the requirements of this statement in Note 13. The Bank is party to a variety of interest rate contracts consisting of interest rate futures, options, caps, swaps, floors and collars in the management of its interest rate exposure of the trading portfolio. These financial instruments are included in the trading portfolio and are reported at market value with realized and unrealized gains and losses on these instruments recognized in other income (See Note 2). The Bank enters into certain other interest rate swap agreements as a means of managing the interest rate exposure of certain inverse variable rate deposits. These interest rate swaps are accounted for under the accrual method. Under this method, the differential to be paid or received on these interest rate swap agreements is recognized over the lives of the agreements in interest expense. Changes in market value of interest rate swaps accounted for under the accrual method are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Realized gains and losses on terminated interest rate swaps are deferred as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the designated instruments and amortized over the remaining original life of the agreements. If the designated instruments are disposed of, the fair value of the interest rate swap or unamortized deferred gains or losses are included in the determination of the gain or loss on the disposition of such instruments. To qualify for such accounting, the interest rate swaps are designated to the inverse variable rate deposits and alter their interest rate characteristics. F-9 HARRINGTON FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED) LOANS RECEIVABLE are carried at the principal amount outstanding, adjusted for premiums or discounts which are amortized or accreted using a level-yield method. The Company adopted SFAS No. 114 and No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan and Income Recognition and Disclosures, as amended, effective July 1, 1995. These statements require that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral, and specifies alternative methods for recognizing interest income on loans that are impaired or for which there are credit concerns. For purposes of applying these standards, impaired loans have been defined as all nonaccrual commercial loans which have not been collectively evaluated for impairment. The Company's policy for income recognition was not affected by adoption of these standards. The adoption of SFAS No. 114 and No. 118 did not have any effect on the total reserve for credit losses or related provision. At July 1, 1995 and December 31, 1995 the Company had no impaired loans required to be disclosed under SFAS No. 114 and No. 118. LOAN ORIGINATION FEES--Nonrefundable origination fees net of certain direct origination costs are deferred and recognized, as a yield adjustment, over the life of the underlying loan. ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES--A provision for estimated losses on loans is charged to operations based upon management's evaluation of the potential losses. Such an evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other matters, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, as applicable, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience and other factors that are particularly susceptible to changes that could result in a material adjustment in the near term. While management endeavors to use the best information available in making its evaluations, future allowance adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions change substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations. INTEREST RECEIVABLE--Interest income on securities and loans is accrued according to the contractual terms of the underlying asset including interest rate, basis and date of last payment. Income on derivatives of mortgage-backed securities is recorded based on the median of major brokers' prepayment assumptions for the underlying securities. 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. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 40 years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses on dispositions are included in current operations. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary file a consolidated tax return. The Company adopted SFAS No. 109 effective July 1, 1993. The Statement requires, among other things, a change from the deferred method to the liability method of accounting for deferred 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. F-10 HARRINGTON FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED) INTANGIBLE ASSETS--During 1993, management reevaluated the useful lives of the core deposit intangible and goodwill recognized in conjunction with HFG's acquisition of Harrington Bank, FSB and deemed them to have no remaining value as of June 30, 1993. The remaining balance of goodwill and core deposit intangible was written off during the year ended June 30, 1993. EARNINGS PER SHARE--Earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 1,965,652 and 1,427,252 for the six month periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, 1,544,080 for fiscal 1995 and 1,412,384 for fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1993, respectively. All per share information has been restated to reflect the Company's four-for-one stock split in October 1994 and the Company's two-for-one stock split in October 1995 (see Note 19). NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS--SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This statement establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain liabilities, certain intangibles and goodwill. Management does not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. SFAS No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 65, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This Statement specifies conditions under which mortgage servicing rights should be accounted for separately from the underlying mortgage loans. Management does not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, was issued in October 1995 and requires adoption no later than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The new standard defines a fair value method of accounting for stock options and similar equity instruments. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Pursuant to the new standard, companies are encouraged, but not required, to adopt the fair value method of accounting for employee stock-based transactions. Companies are also permitted to continue to account for such transactions under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", but would be required to disclose in a note to the financial statements pro forma net income and, if presented, earnings per share as if the company had applied the new method of accounting. The accounting requirements of the new method are effective for all employee awards granted after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company has not yet determined if it will elect to change to the fair value method, nor has it determined the effect the new standard will have on net income and earnings per share should it elect to make such a change. Adoption of the new standard will have no effect on the Company's cash flows. RECLASSIFICATIONS of certain amounts in the 1994 and 1993 consolidated financial statements have been made to conform to the 1995 presentation. In addition, certain reclassifications and modifications have been made to comply with the disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

For the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, gross interest income which would have been recorded had the Bank's non-accruing loans been current with their original terms amounted to $13,037, $26,000 and $45,620, respectively. The Bank had commitments to originate or purchase loans consisting primarily of real estate mortgages secured by one to four family residences approximating $5,071,000 and $117,000 excluding undisbursed portions of loans in-process at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Bank has transactions in the ordinary course of business with directors, officers and employees. Loans to such individuals totaled $45,261 and $105,661 at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The amount of loans serviced for others totaled $6,820,223, $7,539,872 and $9,774,359 at June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, 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 $58,539 and $49,386 at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Loan servicing fee income included in other income for the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $27,290, $32,440 and $23,477, respectively. F-16 HARRINGTON FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

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 corporation income tax rate. 11. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS Effective December 7, 1989, the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") set forth capital standards applicable to all thrifts. These standards include a core capital requirement, a tangible capital requirement and a risk-based capital requirement. The tables below present the Bank's position relative to the three capital requirements. The Bank exceeds all of the requirements at June 30, 1995 and 1994. F-22 HARRINGTON FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

Risk-based capital is computed as a percentage of bank adjusted risk-weighted assets of $74,865,000 and $60,037,000 as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The various federal banking agencies recently adopted the final Prompt Corrective Action regulations that are required by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"). Such regulations require specific supervisory actions as capital levels decrease. The specifications of the capital categories are shown below.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS PROFIT-SHARING PLAN--The Bank has a qualified noncontributory profit-sharing plan for all eligible employees. The plan provides for contributions by the Bank in such amounts as its Board of Directors may annually determine. Contributions charged to expense for the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $78,935, $68,641 and $54,006, respectively. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN--On September 30, 1988, three senior officers of the Bank entered into consulting agreements with the Bank to take effect at their retirement. The agreements obligate the Bank to make monthly payments to these individuals for the remainder of their lives. At September 30, 1988, the Bank recorded a liability for this deferred compensation calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash payments. The amount of benefit expense for fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $25,959, $22,512 and $18,738, respectively. STOCK OPTIONS--The Company has granted stock options to existing stockholders, officers, directors and other affiliated individuals to purchase shares of the Company's stock. At June 30, 1995, outstanding stock options of 163,200 were comprised of 147,200 shares exercisable between December 1997 and January 1998 and 16,000 shares exercisable before December 1995. The options are nontransferable and are forfeited upon termination of employment, as applicable. The following is an analysis of stock option activity for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1995 and the stock options outstanding at the end of the respective years: WEIGHTED AVERAGE OPTIONS SHARES PRICE - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- -------- Outstanding July 1, 1992 and June 30, 1993 Granted.................................................................. 161,200 $ 7.50 Forfeited or expired.....................................................

RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES The Bank closely monitors the sensitivity of its balance sheet and income statement to potential changes in the interest rate environment. Derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps, floors, collars, futures, and options are used on an aggregate basis to protect the trading portfolio and certain liabilities from adverse rate movements. The Bank's objective, with regard to managing interest rate risk, is to maintain at an acceptably low level the sensitivity to rising or falling rates of its market value of portfolio equity. INTEREST RATE SWAPS are contracts in which the parties agree to exchange fixed and floating rate payments for a specified period of time on a specified (notional) amount. The notional amount is only F-24 HARRINGTON FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) 13. RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES--(CONTINUED) used to calculate the amount of the periodic interest payments to be exchanged, and does not represent the amount at risk. The Bank uses swaps to modify the effective duration of various assets and liabilities. The floating rates are generally indexed to the three-month London Interbank Offerred Rates (LIBOR). INTEREST RATE CAPS AND FLOORS are instruments in which the writer (seller) agrees to pay the holder (purchaser) the amount that an agreed-upon index is above or below the specified cap or floor rate, respectively, times the notional amount. In return for this promise of future payments, the purchaser pays a premium to the seller. The notional amount is never exchanged between the two parties and does not represent the amount at risk. The Bank purchases interest rate caps and floors to reduce the impact of rising or falling interest rates on the market value of its trading portfolio. The interest rate caps and floors generally have indexes equal to one or three month LIBOR, except for one interest rate cap which is tied to the five year Constant Maturity Treasury. The Bank is a party to an INTEREST RATE COLLAR which also is used to manage interest rate risk in the trading portfolio. The interest rate collar consists of an interest rate cap held by the Bank and an interest rate floor written by the Bank. The notional amount of the interest rate collar is based on the balance in the collection accounts of certain Merrill Lynch collateralized mortgage obligation trusts. INTEREST RATE FUTURES CONTRACTS are commitments to either purchase or sell designated instruments at a future date for a specified price. Initial margin requirements are met in cash or other instruments, and changes in the contract values are settled in cash daily. The Bank enters into futures contracts when these instruments are economically advantageous to interest rate swaps, caps and floors. The Bank uses primarily Eurodollar contracts which are structured in calendar quarter increments and therefore result in a much larger notional amount than an equivalent swap, cap or floor. FINANCIAL OPTIONS are contracts which grant the purchaser, for a premium payment, the right to either purchase from or sell to the writer a specified financial instrument under agreed-upon terms. Financial options to buy or sell securities are typically traded in standardized contracts on organized exchanges. The Bank purchases financial options to reduce the risk of the written financial options embedded in mortgage related assets. CASH RESTRICTIONS--The Bank maintained $399,256 at June 30, 1995 in U.S. Treasury Securities, which are considered cash equivalents, as a deposit with a broker for its futures activities. CREDIT RISK--The Bank is dedicated to managing credit risks associated with trading activities. The Bank maintains trading positions with a variety of counterparties or obligors (counterparties). To limit credit exposure arising from such transactions, the Bank evaluates the credit standing of counterparties, establishes limits for the total exposure to any one counterparty, monitors exposure against the established limits and monitors trading portfolio composition to manage concentrations. In addition, the Bank maintains qualifying netting agreements with its counterparties and records gains and losses on derivative financial instruments net in the trading portfolio. The Bank's exposure to credit risk from derivative financial instruments is represented by the fair value of instruments. Credit risk amounts represent the replacement cost the Bank could incur should counterparties with contracts in a gain position completely fail to perform under the terms of those contracts and any collateral underlying the contracts proves to be of no value to the Bank. Counterparties are subject to the credit approval and credit monitoring policies and procedures of the Bank. Certain instruments require the Bank or the counterparty to maintain collateral for all or part of the F-25 HARRINGTON FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) 13. RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES--(CONTINUED) exposure. Limits for exposure to any particular counterparty are established and monitored. Notional or contract amounts indicate the total volume of transactions and significantly exceed the amount of the Bank's credit or market risk associated with these instruments. The following off balance sheet positions are included in the Bank's trading portfolio and are thus reported in the financial statements at current market value.

These swaps are used to modify the interest rate sensitivity of certain certificates of deposit issued by the Bank. These certificates of deposit, called inverse variable rate CDs, adjust according to a formula in such a way as F-27 HARRINGTON FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) 13. RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES--(CONTINUED) to pay a higher rate of interest when the index falls, and a lower rate of interest when the index rises. As of June 30, 1995, the Bank held approximately $10 million of inverse variable rate CDs, with original terms to maturity ranging from three to ten years. The Bank utilizes interest rate swaps with the same notional amount as the inverse variable rate CDs to convert such certificates of deposit effectively to fixed rate deposits. A similar notional amount of interest rate swaps are then utilized to convert such certificates from fixed rate to variable rate deposits. Consequently, the notional amount of interest rate swaps is twice that of the inverse variable rate CDs. The swaps protect the Bank against the exposure to falling interest rates inherent in these CDs. The market value of the following swaps is not reflected in the Company's financial statements. The periodic exchanges of interest payments are included in interest expense in the statements of income.

CREDIT COMMITMENTS The Bank is a party to commitments to extend credit as part of its normal business operations to meet the financing needs of its customers. These commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. 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 Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Unless noted otherwise, the Bank does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Real estate loan commitments whose contract amounts represent credit risk were approximately $5,071,000 and $117,000 at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. F-28 HARRINGTON FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) 15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company has contracted with Smith Breeden Associates Inc. ("SBA") to provide investment advisory services and interest rate risk analysis. Certain stockholders of HFG are also principals of SBA. The amount of consulting expense relating to SBA for fiscal years ending June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $194,813, $183,435 and $186,668, respectively. 16. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND REGULATORY MATTERS EQUITY OFFERING--Under the terms of an offering memorandum the Company offered up to 555,556 shares of stock to certain stockholders, directors and officers of the Company and the Bank. The shares of common stock were offered at $4.50 per share beginning on November 1, 1994; however, the purchase price increased each day thereafter at a rate of prime plus 2% until the closing of the equity offering on January 31, 1995. LIQUIDATION ACCOUNT--On July 10, 1985, the Bank converted from a federally chartered mutual association to a federally chartered stock association through the issuance of 463,173 shares of common stock ($1 par value) at a price of $8 per share. From the proceeds, $463,173 was allocated to capital stock at the par value of $1 per share and $2,918,650, which is net of conversion costs of $323,561, was allocated to additional paid-in-capital. The Bank established a special liquidation account (in memorandum form) in an amount equal to its total retained earnings as of June 1, 1984 for the purpose of granting to eligible savings account holders a priority in the event of future liquidation. In the event of future liquidation of the converted institution (and only in such event), an eligible account holder who continues to maintain his savings account shall be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account. The total amount of the liquidation account will be decreased in an amount proportionately corresponding to decreases in the savings accounts of eligible account holders on each subsequent annual determination date. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS--Regulations provide that the Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on or repurchase any of its stock if the result thereof would be to reduce the consolidated stockholders' equity of the Bank below the amount required for the liquidation account (as defined by regulations). Under the capital distribution regulations of the OTS, the Bank, as a "Tier 1" institution, is permitted to make capital distributions during a calendar year up to one hundred percent of its net income to date during the calendar year plus the amount that would reduce by one-half its surplus capital ratio, as defined, at the beginning of the calendar year. Under this limitation, $4,913,397 was available for dividends at June 30, 1995. RECAPITALIZATION OF SAIF AND RELATED LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS--The deposits of the Company are currently insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the FDIC. Both the SAIF and the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), the federal deposit insurance fund that covers commercial bank deposits, are required by law to attain and thereafter maintain a reserve ratio of 1.25% of insured deposits. The BIF has achieved a fully funded status in contrast to the SAIF and, therefore, as discussed below, the FDIC recently substantially reduced the average deposit insurance premium paid by commercial banks to a level approximately 75% below the average premium paid by savings institutions. On November 14, 1995, the FDIC approved a final rule regarding deposit insurance premiums. The final rule will reduce deposit insurance premiums for BIF member institutions to zero basis points (subject to a $2,000 minimum) for institutions in the lowest risk category, while holding deposit F-29 HARRINGTON FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) 16. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND REGULATORY MATTERS--(CONTINUED) insurance premiums for SAIF members at their current levels (23 basis points for institutions in the lowest risk category). The reduction was effective with respect to the semiannual premium assessment beginning January 1, 1996. Accordingly, in the absence of further legislative action, SAIF members such as the Bank will be competitively disadvantaged as compared to commercial banks by the resulting premium differential. The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate have provided for a resolution of the recapitalization of the SAIF in the Balanced Budget Act of 1995 (the "Reconciliation Bill") which was sent to the President on November 29, 1995. The President recently vetoed the Reconciliation Bill for reasons unrelated to the recapitalization of the SAIF. The Reconciliation Bill provides that all SAIF member institutions will pay a special one-time assessment to recapitalize the SAIF, which in the aggregate will be sufficient to bring the reserve ratio in the SAIF to 1.25% of insured deposits. Based on the current level of reserves maintained by the SAIF it is currently anticipated that the amount of the special assessment required to recapitalize the SAIF will be approximately 80 to 85 basis points of the SAIF-assessable deposits. The special assessment would be payable based on the amount of SAIF deposits on March 31, 1995. It is anticipated that after the recapitalization of the SAIF, that premiums of SAIF- insured institutions would be reduced comparable to those currently being assessed BIF-insured commercial banks. The Reconciliation Bill also provides for the merger of the BIF and SAIF on January 1, 1998, with such merger being conditioned upon the prior elimination of the thrift charter. The Banking Committees of the House of Representatives and the Senate in adopting the Reconciliation Bill agreed that Congress should consider and act upon separate legislation as early as possible in 1996 to eliminate the thrift charter. If adopted, such legislation would require that the Bank as a federal savings bank, convert to a bank charter. Such a requirement to convert to a bank charter could cause savings institutions to lose favorable tax treatment for their bad debt reserves that they currently enjoy under Section 593 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). While the outcome of the proposed legislation cannot be predicted with certainty, it is likely that some kind of legislative or regulatory action will be undertaken that will impact the Company's insured deposits. A one-time special assessment of 85 basis points would result in the Company paying approximately $700,000, net of related tax benefits. In addition, the enactment of such legislation may have the effect of immediately reducing the capital of SAIF-member institutions by the amount of the special assessment, net of taxes. Nevertheless, management does not believe that this one-time charge to the Bank if incurred will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition. In light of the different proposals currently under consideration and the uncertainty of the legislative process generally, management cannot predict whether legislation reducing SAIF premiums and/or imposing a special one-time assessment will be adopted, or, if adopted, the amount of the assessment, if any, that would be imposed on the Company.

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, 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. LOANS RECEIVABLE--The fair value of loans receivable is estimated by discounting future cash flows at market interest rates for loans of similar terms and maturities, taking into consideration repricing characteristics and prepayment risk. SECURITIES HELD FOR TRADING consist of mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, residuals, interest-only strips, a principal-only strip, interest rate swaps, an interest rate collar, interest rate caps, interest rate floors, options, futures and equity securities. Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. Where such quotes are not available, fair value is estimated by F-31 HARRINGTON FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--(CONTINUED) using quoted market prices for similar securities or by discounting future cash flows at a risk adjusted spread to Treasury. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK--The fair value is estimated to be the carrying value which is par. All transactions in the capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis are executed at par. DEPOSITS--The fair value of deposits is calculated by discounting the future cash flows at a market interest rate. SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE--Fair values are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows using dealer quoted rates for agreements of similar terms and 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. OFF BALANCE SHEET HEDGING INSTRUMENTS consist of interest rate swaps and an interest rate floor used to modify the interest rate sensitivity of certain certificates of deposits. Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. Where such quotes are not available, fair value is estimated by using quoted market prices for similar securities or by discounting future cash flows at a risk adjusted spread to Treasury. COMMITMENTS--The estimated fair value of commitments to originate fixed-rate loans is determined based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements and the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. Based on that analysis, the estimated fair value of such commitments is a reasonable estimate of the loan commitments at par. The fair value estimates presented herein are based on information available to management as of June 30, 1995 and 1994. 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.
