Second Street, Lafayette, Indiana. ------------------------------------ LSB FINANCIAL [LOGO] CORP. March 18, 1997 Dear Fellow Shareholder: We are pleased to send you this annual report containing the results of our second year as a stock company. To effectively utilize the capital invested by our shareholders, our strategy continues to be to prudently grow the size of the Bank. This is being done by increasing our loan portfolio using both funds deposited by our customers as well as additional borrowings when needed to take advantage of lending opportunities. The success of this strategy in 1996 was demonstrated as assets increased 16.7% since December 31, 1995, and net interest income increased 18.9% over 1995. Our continuing goal is to maximize long-term shareholder value by appropriately balancing profitability, growth, quality and productivity. We believe that we can best accomplish this goal as an independent, community-oriented financial institution. We will continue working to earn the support of Tippecanoe County and the Greater Lafayette area, investing locally to stimulate community progress, providing an attractive and stable work environment, and by using bank staff who are members of this community to make decisions concerning our customers in this community. The Company's stock performed well in 1996. We experienced, however, a small setback in our plan to increase our post-conversion return on equity due to a loan secured by equipment leases which had to be placed in non-accrual status. We increased the Bank's allowance for loan losses to provide for our estimate of the potential loss on such leases and believe 1997 will show an acceptable resolution to this problem. We're pleased to note that the asset quality of the remainder of our loan portfolio remains high, with non-performing loans totaling only 0.2% of total assets. A primary strategy this year will be to fund more of our new loans with deposits from our customers and correspondingly less with other borrowings. To that end, our efforts will be directed toward increasing our market share of deposits in the community while managing the overall cost of money. We offer a very competitive menu of deposit products. I invite you, as stockholders with a vested interest, to give us the opportunity to work with you regarding your savings and investment needs. To further enhance shareholder value, we are in the process of completing our third stock repurchase program. This repurchase involves the repurchase of over 45,000 shares and should further increase shareholder value. Overall, our core earnings continue to grow and we look forward to continued progress. Thank you for your continuing support. Sincerely, /s/ John W. Corey - ---------------------------------------- John W.

("LSB" or the "Company"), an Indiana corporation, became the holding company of Lafayette Savings Bank, FSB ("Lafayette" or the "Bank"). Lafayette is a federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Lafayette, Indiana. The principal asset of the Company is the outstanding stock of the Bank, its wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company presently has no separate operations and its business consists only of the business of the Bank. All references to the Company, unless otherwise indicated, at or before February 3, 1995, refer to the Bank. Forward Looking Statements Certain statements in this report that relate to LSB Financial Corp.'s plans, objectives or future performance may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. Such statements are based on Management's current expectations. Actual strategies and results in future periods may differ materially from those currently expected because of various risks and uncertainties. Additional discussion of factors affecting LSB Financial's business and prospects is contained in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Business Strategy LSB has been, and intends to continue to be, a community-oriented financial institution. The primary business of the Company consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using these deposits to provide financing for the purchase and construction of residential and other properties. The Company's results of operations, therefore, are dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on the Company's loan, mortgage-backed and investment securities portfolios and its cost of funds, which consists of interest expense incurred on deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is directly affected by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on such amounts. The Company's operating results are also affected by the level of the provision for loan losses, by the level of non-interest income, including gains and losses on the sale of loans, and non-interest expenses. The Company's non-interest expenses consist principally of employee compensation, occupancy expenses, and other general and administrative expenses. Significant external factors impacting the Company's results of operations include the general economic environment, changes in the level of market interest rates, government policies, actions by regulatory authorities and competition. LSB's cost of funds is influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for real estate loans and other types of loans, which are in turn affected by the interest rates 4 at which such loans are made, general economic conditions affecting loan demand and the availability of funds for lending activities. The Company's basic mission is to maintain its focus as an independent, community oriented financial institution serving customers in its market area. The Board of Directors has sought to accomplish this mission through the adoption of a strategy intended to maintain a strong capital position and high asset quality, manage the Company's vulnerability to changes in interest rates, optimize the Company's net interest margin and achieve controlled asset growth. Key components of this strategy have been (i) emphasizing one- to four-family residential mortgage lending, (ii) supplementing residential lending with multi-family, consumer and construction loans, (iii) expanding commercial business lending functions, (iv) emphasizing adjustable rate and/or short term loans and investments and (v) gradually building its core deposit base. The results of the Company's business strategy may be illustrated as follows: o One- to four-family loans increased from $69.1 million at December 31, 1994 to $97.0 million at December 31, 1996. o Multi-family, land and land development, construction and consumer loans increased from $18.5 million at December 31, 1994 to $47.2 million at December 31, 1996. o Commercial real estate and commercial business loans increased from $13.3 million at December 31, 1994 to $23.9 million at December 31, 1996. o At December 31, 1996, 65.26% of the Company's gross loan portfolio had adjustable interest rates. o Non-certificate savings, checking and NOW accounts (excluding money market accounts and after being adjusted for $6.9 million in stock subscription funds held at December 31, 1994) remained at nearly 25% of deposits, decreasing slightly from 24.54% of total deposits at December 31, 1994 to 24.21% at December 31, 1996. Financial Condition The size of the Company's loan portfolio increased from $98.6 million at December 31, 1994 to $159.2 million at December 31, 1996, an increase of 61.46%. Part of this increase was due to the Bank aggressively seeking to attract new residential mortgage borrowers. This was accomplished by offering attractive loan products at competitive rates; establishing good working relationships with local realtors; and providing efficient, personal service with all decisions made locally. Another reason for the success of the Company's strategy was the continued focus on commercial and consumer loan production. The Company sold $8.0 million of fixed-rate loans in the secondary market in 1995 and $14.3 million in 1996 based upon asset/liability management considerations. See "-Asset/ Liability Management." Adjustable rate loans were retained in the Company's loan portfolio. The Company retains the servicing rights on all loans sold in the secondary market. 5 The Company's portfolio of securities and short-term investments decreased from $17.7 million at from December 31, 1994 to $11.9 million at December 31, 1996, as maturing securities were used to fund the growth in the Company's loan portfolio. Deposit accounts increased by 15.99% or $16.1 million from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1996, excluding the $6.9 million in stock subscription funds held at December 31, 1994 in connection with the Bank's conversion to stock form. Checking accounts with no monthly fees and no minimum balance requirements attracted new depositors, as well as the Bank's continuing effort to offer innovative and competitive certificate of deposit products. . The Company utilizes advances available through the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") to provide additional funding for loan growth as well as for asset/liability management purposes. At December 31, 1996, the Company had $50.0 million in FHLB advances outstanding, an increase of $21.5 million from December 31, 1995 and $42.5 million from December 31, 1994. Shareholders' equity decreased $1.3 million, or 7.04%, during 1996 primarily as a result of the Company's stock repurchases and the payment of dividends on Common Stock. The Company repurchased 9.00% of its Common Stock, 92,660 shares, under a stock repurchase program completed February 27, 1996, and 5.00% of its Common Stock, 48.235 shares, under a stock repurchase program completed July 2, 1996. In addition , the Company is currently in the process of repurchasing an additional 5%, or 45,888 shares, of its Common Stock, and as of December 31, 1996 has repurchased 15,000 shares under this program. As of December 13, 1996, a total of 155,895 shares of the Company's Common Stock had been repurchased at a cost of approximately $2.6 million, or $16.87 per share. Shareholders' equity to total assets was 9.10% at December 31, 1996 compared to 11.37% at December 31, 1995. Results of Operations The Company's results of operations depend primarily on the levels of net interest and non-interest income and its control of operating expenses. Net interest income is dependent upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and upon the interest rate which is earned or paid on these items. The Company's results of operations are also affected by the level of the provision for loan losses as well as non-interest income. 6 Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields The following table presents for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest income 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. No tax equivalent adjustments were made. All average balances are monthly average balances. Non-accruing loans and have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

The change in total interest income and total interest expense is allocated between those related to changes in the outstanding balances and those due to changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and change due to rate.

General. Net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $876,000, a decrease of $366,000 or 29.47% compared to net income for the year ended December 31, 1995. This decrease was primarily due to an $800,000 provision for loan losses, which was recorded by management to cover the possibility of losses on the $2.4 million of purchased equipment leases placed on non-accrual status by the Bank during 1996 due to the bankruptcy filing by the Bennett Funding Group, the originator of the leases. The increased provision for loan losses was substantially offset by the net of a $910,000 increase in net interest income, a $716,000 increase in all non-interest expenses and a $174,000 decrease in income tax expenses. Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased $910,000 or 18.93% over the same period in 1995. This increase was primarily attributable to the success of management's continuing efforts to restructure the Company's balance sheet by investing new funds and shifting existing funds into higher-yielding commercial and consumer loans from lower yielding investment and mortgage-backed securities. The Company's net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) decreased slightly from 3.56% for the year ended December 31, 1995, to 3.52% for the year ended December 31, 1996. Interest income on loans increased $2.9 million for the year ended 1996 compared to the year ended December 31, 1995 primarily the result of an increase of $35.0 million in average loans outstanding. This increase was primarily due to an active residential real estate market in 1996 due to continued relatively low interest rates and a strong local economy, and the ongoing success of the Company's focus on commercial and consumer loan production. This increase in volume was slightly offset by a decrease in yield on loans from 8.38% for the year ended December 31, 1995 to 8.34% for the year ended December 31, 1996 caused primarily by the increasing competitiveness of the local loan origination market. Both the net interest margin and the average yield on loans were negatively impacted by the placement of the Bennett Funding leases on non-accrual status effective April 1, 1996. Management estimates that interest lost during 1996 from those leases was approximately $170,000. Interest earned on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $53,000 due primarily to an $848,000 decrease in the average balance of the Company's mortgage-backed securities. Interest earned on other investments and FHLB stock decreased by $316,000 for the year 1996 compared to 1995. This was the result of a decrease of $7.7 million in the average balance of other investments, primarily due to the Company's efforts to restructure its balance sheet by channeling funds into higher yielding loans. The decrease was partially offset by interest earned on a $1.0 million increase in the average balance of FHLB stock required to facilitate borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, as well as by an increase in the yield on other investments from 5.32% for the year ended December 31, 1995 to 5.57% for the year ended December 31, 1996. Interest expense for the year ended 1996 increased $1.6 million or 26.83% over the same period in 1995. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $29.9 million in average interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of 9 an additional $8.9 million in the average balance of customer deposit accounts and a $21.0 million increase in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances drawn to fund loan demand. The increase was also due to an increase in the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities from 4.79% in 1995 to 4.89% in 1996 reflecting the intense competition for deposits, in spite of a decrease in the interest rate paid on borrowings from 5.91% in 1995 to 5.62% in 1996. Provision for Loan Losses. The Company establishes its provision for loan losses based on a systematic analysis of risk factors in the loan portfolio. The analysis includes evaluation of concentration of credit, past loss experience, current economic conditions, the amount and composition of the loan portfolio, estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, loan commitments outstanding , delinquencies, industry standards and other factors. Because the Company has realized only nominal losses during its recent past, management also considers the loss experience of similar portfolios in comparable lending markets, in addition to using the services of a consultant to assist in the evaluation of its growing commercial loan portfolio. Management's analysis results in the allocations of allowance amounts for each loan type. Based on this analysis, during the year ended December 31, 1996 the Company recorded an $800,000 provision for loan losses primarily in response to the situation involving Bennett Funding Group (Bennett) of Syracuse, New York through which the Company owns $2.4 million of equipment leases. On March 29, 1996, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed civil and criminal complaints against an officer of Bennett and shortly thereafter, Bennett sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The Bank has been paid interest through March 31, 1996. Based upon the bankruptcy filing and the uncertainty about when principal and interest payments might resume, the leases were placed in non-accrual status as of April 1, 1996 and the Bank has allocated $970,000 of its $1.7 million allowance for loan losses to these receivables. The Bank's $2.4 million investment is comprised of numerous small dollar equipment leases. While management believes that the Bank holds original lease documents, the complaint alleges various fraudulent actions including that Bennett may have sold the same leases to two or more buyers. To date management has not been notified of duplication of any leases it owns. Management is currently evaluating settlement offers and believes that its reserve allocation will be sufficient to cover any losses. At December 31, 1996, the Company's allowance equals 1.08% of net loans receivable. Non-performing loans totaled $2.8 million at December 31, 1996, representing 1.53% of total assets. The Bank had no non-performing loans at December 31, 1995. Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased by $66,000, or 10.49% over the same period in 1995. This was primarily due to an $87,000 increase in service charges and fees on deposit accounts due to the increasing number of these accounts, and a $116,000 increase in the gain on the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market, partially offset by a non-recurring $165,000 state tax refund received in 1995. The increase in the gain on the sale of loans resulted from the increased sales activity and a change in accounting for such sales. Beginning in 1996, the basis of loans sold with servicing retained was allocated between the loan and the originated servicing right. $129,000 of the $184,000 of gains on the sale of loans can be attributed to establishing the originated servicing right asset which will be amortized over the lives of the related loans. In addition, in December 1996, the Company transferred approximately $10.3 million fixed rate mortgage loans to the held for sale portfolio. These loans were sold in December, 1996, and January, 1997, and are part of management's strategy to further diversify the loan portfolio. 10 Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased $716,000 over the same period in 1995. The major components of this increase included a $404,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $139,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense, offset by a $118,000 decrease in FDIC insurance premiums (since the Bank, unlike most thrifts, is insured by the Bank Insurance Fund of the FDIC and benefitted from a reduction in the deposit insurance rate effective June 1, 1995). The increase in salaries and employee benefits, and occupancy and equipment expenses were incurred in connection with the opening of the Company's fourth branch. In addition, salary and employee benefit expenses included expenses related to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), which was formed at the time of the Bank's stock conversion, and expenses related to the Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP") which was approved by shareholders in August 1995. These two plans resulted in a combined expense of $151,000 in 1995 and $233,000 in 1996 and, effectively, replaced the Company's discretionary contribution to its 401(k) plan which was $54,000 in 1994. See Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. Income Tax Expense. The Company's income tax provision decreased by $174,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. This was primarily due to the decrease in income before income taxes. 11 Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994. General. Net income for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $1.2 million, an increase of $677,000 or 119.82% over net income for the year ended December 31, 1994. This increase was primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in net interest income, an $85,000 increase in deposit account service charges and fees, a $165,000 non-recurring state tax refund related to a change in Indiana tax law in the late 1980s, and a $108,000 decrease in FDIC insurance expense. These changes were partially offset by a $565,000 increase in all other operating expenses and by a $459,000 increase in income tax expense. Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased $1.3 million or 35.91% over the same period in 1994. This increase was primarily attributable to the success of management's continuing efforts to leverage the Company by channeling funds into the Company's higher-yielding loan portfolio. The Company's net interest margin, net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets, increased from 3.26% for the year ended December 31, 1994, to 3.56% for the year ended December 31, 1995. Interest income on loans increased $2.5 million for the year ended 1995 compared to the year ended December 31, 1994 primarily due to an increase of $25.8 million in average loans outstanding. This increase was primarily due to the Bank taking advantage of the opportunity to attract new residential mortgage borrowers to the Bank afforded by an active market for refinance and purchase residential properties in 1995 due to continued low mortgage interest rates and a strong local economy, and the ongoing success of the Company's focus on commercial loan production. This increase in volume was supplemented by an increase in yield on loans from 8.01% for the year ended December 31, 1994 to 8.38% for the year ended December 31, 1995 caused primarily by the upward adjustment of the Company's existing ARMs as well as by the increased amount of higher yielding commercial loans. Interest earned on mortgage-backed securities increased by $40,000 as the increase in yield from 4.36% to 6.08% on the primarily adjustable rate securities more than offset the $1.1 decline in the average balance of the Company's mortgage-backed securities. Interest earned on other investments increased by $195,000 for the year 1995 compared to 1994. This was the result of an increase of $1.3 million in the average balance of other investments, primarily due to the investment of stock proceeds upstreamed to the Holding Company, as well as by in increase in yield from 4.33% for the year ended December 31, 1994 to 5.32% for the year ended December 31, 1995 due to higher interest rates on securities purchased in 1995. Interest expense for the year ended 1995 increased $1.5 million or 33.66% over the same period in 1994. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $17.9 million in average interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of an additional $3.4 million in the average balance of customer deposit accounts and a $14.5 million increase in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances drawn to fund loan demand. The increase was also due to an increase in the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities from 4.19% in 1994 to 4.79% in 1995 reflecting the general increase in interest rates during the period. 12 Provision for Loan Losses. The Company establishes its provision for loan losses based on a systematic analysis of risk factors in the loan portfolio. The analysis includes evaluation of concentration of credit, past loss experience, current economic conditions, the amount and composition of the loan portfolio, estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, loan commitments outstanding , delinquencies, industry standards and other factors. Because the Company has realized only nominal losses during its recent past, management also considers the loss experience of similar portfolios in comparable lending markets, in addition to using the services of a consultant to assist in the evaluation of its growing commercial loan portfolio. Management's analysis results in the allocations of allowance amounts for each loan type. During the years 1995 and 1994, the Company made no additional provision for loan losses. The Company, during 1994, recovered $15,000 on a loan that had previously been charged off. The Company had no non-performing loans (non-accruing plus accruing loans 90 days or more past due) at December 31, 1995 and $45,000 in non-performing loans at December 31, 1994, representing .04% of total assets. Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased by $339,000, or 116.90% over the same period in 1995. This was primarily due to the previously mentioned $165,000 state tax refund, an $85,000 increase in service charges and fees on deposit accounts due to the increasing number of these accounts, and a $55,000 increase in the gain on the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market as the Company took advantage of the relatively stable mortgage loan rates to sell fixed-rate mortgages, thereby helping to control interest rate risk. Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased $458,000 over the same period in 1994. The major components of this increase included a $312,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, an $86,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense, and a $60,000 increase in other operating expenses. Many of these expenses were incurred filling the Company's staffing and equipment needs to effectively leverage the Bank. The Bank also benefitted from a $108,000 decrease in FDIC insurance premiums resulting from a decrease in the premium charged. The Bank, unlike most thrifts, is insured by the Bank Insurance Fund of the FDIC and benefitted from a reduction in the deposit insurance rate effective June 1, 1995. In addition , 1995's salary and employee benefit expense included expenses related to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), which was formed at the time of the Bank's stock conversion, and related to the Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP") approved in August, 1995. LSB records ESOP expense based on the fair value of the shares earned by participants during the year. During 1995, participants earned 8,504 shares with a cost of $85,000 and a fair value of $123,000. The RRP awarded 27,793 share to certain directors and officers of the Company. The cost of these shares is being amortized over the 60 month vesting period and totaled $28,000 for 1995. These two plans resulted in a combined expense of $151,000 in 1995 and, effectively, replaced the Company's discretionary contribution to its 401(k) plan which was $54,000 in 1994. Income Tax Expense. The Company's income tax provision increased by $459,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to the year ended December 31, 1994. This was primarily due to the increase in income before income taxes. 13 Asset/Liability Management Lafayette, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the extent that its interest-bearing liabilities reprice on a different basis than its interest-earning assets. Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations provide a Net Portfolio Value ("NPV") approach to the quantification of interest rate risk. In essence, this approach calculates the difference between the present value of expected cash flows from assets and the present value of expected cash flows from liabilities, as well as cash flows from off balance sheet contracts. Under OTS regulations, an institution's "normal" level of interest rate risk in the event of an assumed change in interest rates is a decrease in the institution's NPV in an amount not exceeding 2% of the present value of its assets. Thrift institutions with greater than "normal" interest rate exposure must take a deduction from their total capital available to meet their risk-based capital requirement. The amount of the deduction is one-half of the difference between (a) the institution's actual calculated exposure to a 200 basis point interest rate increase or decrease (whichever results in the greater pro forma decrease in NPV) and (b) its "normal" level of exposure which is defined as 2% of the present value of its assets. The regulation, however, will not become effective until the OTS evaluates the process by which savings associations may appeal an interest rate risk deduction determination. It is uncertain as to when this evaluation may be completed. Furthermore, the Bank, due to its asset size and level of risk-based capital is exempt from this requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, utilizing this measuring concept, as of December 31, 1996, a change in interest rates of positive 200 basis points would have resulted in a 1.21% decrease (as a percentage of the net present value of the Bank's assets) in the Bank's NPV while a change in interest rates of negative 200 basis points would have resulted in an .11% increase (as a percentage of the net present value of the Bank's assets) in the Bank's NPV. Accordingly, the Bank's interest rate risk was considered normal under OTS regulations and no additional risk-based capital would have been required at December 31, 1996. It has been and continues to be a priority of the Company's Board of Directors and management to manage interest rate risk and thereby limit any negative effect of the Company's NPV. The Company's asset/liability policy, established by the Board of Directors, sets forth acceptable limits on the amount of change in NPV given certain changes in interest rates. The Company has an asset/liability management committee which meets weekly to review interest rate positions, and a Board investment committee which meets quarterly to review the Company's interest rate risk position and other related matters and to make recommendations for adjusting such position to the full Board of Directors. In addition, the investment committee meets semi-annually with the Company's investment advisor to review the Company's investment portfolio and strategies relating to interest rate risk. Specific strategies have included the sale of long-term, fixed rate loans to reduce the average maturity of the Company's interest-earning assets and the use of FHLB advances to lengthen the effective maturity of its interest-bearing liabilities. In the future, the Company's community banking emphasis, including the origination of commercial business loans, is intended to further increase the Company's portfolio of short-term and/or adjustable rate loans. 14 Presented below, as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, is an analysis of the Company's interest rate risk as measured by changes in NPV for instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve, in 100 basis point increments, up and down 300 basis points and compared to Board policy limits. Assumptions used in calculating the amounts in this table are OTS assumptions. At December 31, 1995 At December 31, 1996 Change in Board Limit ----------------------------- ------------------------------ Interest Rate % Change $ Change % Change $ Change % Change ------------- ----------- ----------- ----------- -------------- ----------- (Basis Points) (Dollars in (Dollars in Thousands) Thousands) 300 -40.00 -3,171 -17% -3,207 -23% 200 -18.00 -1,726 - 9% -1,996 -14% 100 -10.00 - 637 -3% -1,015 -6% 0 0.00 0 0% 0 0% -100 -10.00 120 1% 1,411 3% -200 -18.00 -63 0% 2,475 3% -300 -40.00 85 0% 2,687 3% In evaluating the Company's exposure to interest rate risk, certain shortcomings inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table must be noted. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayments and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. As a result, the actual effect of changing interest rates may differ from that presented in the foregoing table. The Company also makes use of "gap" analysis which measures the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets which are anticipated to mature or reprice within a particular period and the amount of interest bearing liabilities which are expected to reprice in that same period. The Company relies on certain assumptions, such as the amount and timing of loan prepayments in the measurement of the interest rate sensitivity gap. Similar shortcomings to those experienced with NPV analysis are also inherent in the gap method of analysis. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment and prepayment of loans, interest earned on or maturation of investment securities and short-term investments, borrowings and funds provided from operations. While maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans, investments and mortgage-backed securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by the general market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. 15 The primary investing activities of the Bank are the origination of loans and the purchase of securities. During the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, the Bank originated loans totaling $39.9 million, $68.8 million and $77.7 million respectively. During the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, these investment activities were funded primarily by principal repayments and prepayments on loans and maturities of investment securities totaling $25.1 million, $30.8 million, and $43.8 million, respectively. The proceeds from the sale of loans totaled $3.0 million, $8.0 million and $14.3 million for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Sales of available-for-sale securities in 1994, 1995 and 1996 generated proceeds of $1.1 million, $510,000 and $1.8 million, respectively. The major sources of cash from financing activities in the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 were increases in deposits of $7.5 million, $2.2 million and $7.0 million, respectively. In the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, financing also was provided by net borrowings of $5.8 million, $21.8 million and $20.6 million, respectively. The Bank had available lines of credit from the FHLB, at December 31, 1996, equal to $1.5 million. The Bank currently uses, and intends to continue to use, FHLB advances as a source of funding for loans when advantageous interest rate risk matches can be found. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function for the Bank's senior management. The Bank adjusts its investment strategy, within the limits established by the investment policy, based upon assessments of expected loan demand, expected cash flows, FHLB advance opportunities, market yields and objectives of its asset/liability management program. Base levels of liquidity have generally been invested in interest-earning overnight and time deposits with the FHLB of Indianapolis. Funds for which a demand is not foreseen in the near future are invested in investment and other securities for the purpose of yield enhancement and asset/liability management. The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquidity as defined by regulatory agencies. The liquidity requirement, which can vary, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short term borrowings and is currently 5.0%. The Bank's internal policy for liquidity is approximately 8%. The Company's liquidity ratios at December 31, 1994, 1995, 1996 were 14.35%, 14.04% and 7.31%, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of fixed rate mortgage loans in early 1997 were used to restore the Company's liquidity ratio to above its policy level. The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments. At December 31, 1996, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans and available lines of credit totaling $15.8 million and commitments to provide funds to complete current construction projects in the amount of $6.8 million. Certificates of deposit which will mature in one year or less at December 31, 1996 totaled $43.8 million. Based on its experience, the Bank's certificates of deposit have been a relatively stable source of long-term funds as such certificates are generally renewed upon maturity since the Bank has established long-term banking relationships with its customers. Therefore, management believes a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank, although this cannot be assured. 16 At December 31, 1996, the Bank exceeded all of the OTS capital requirements on a fully phased in basis. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of the Bank's regulatory capital requirements. The Company also has a need for, and sources of liquidity. Liquidity is required to fund its operating expenses, fund stock repurchase programs, as well as for the payment of dividends to shareholders. At December 31, 1996 the Company had $797,000 in liquid assets on hand. The primary source of liquidity on an ongoing basis is dividends from the Bank. Dividends totaling $1.0 million were paid from the Bank to the Company during the year ended December 31, 1996. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company paid dividends to shareholders totaling $213,000 and repurchased 127,865 shares of common stock at a total cost of $2.2 million. The Company has regulatory approval to repurchase an additional 30,888 shares of Company stock at December 31, 1996. Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto which are presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals, which require the measurement of financial position and the results of operations in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the Company's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's performance than do the effects of the general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same degree as the price of goods and services. Impact of Accounting Standards Financial Accounting Standard No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in 1996. It revises the accounting for transfers of financial assets, such as loans and securities, and for distinguishing between sales and secured borrowings. It is effective for some transactions in 1997 and others in 1998. Management does not expect the effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations to be significant. 17 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Board of Directors LSB Financial Corp.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 include the accounts of LSB Financial Corp. (LSB or the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lafayette Savings Bank, FSB (Bank) and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, LSB Service Corporation (LSBSC). The 1994 financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and LSBSC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Stock Issuance and Conversion: On February 3, 1995, pursuant to a Plan of Conversion adopted May 16, 1994, LSB completed the issuance of 1,029,576 shares of common stock, at a price of $10 per share raising net proceeds of $9,609. In accordance with its Plan of Conversion, $4,805 of the proceeds were utilized to purchase 100% of the stock of the Bank in conjunction with its conversion from a mutual to a stock form of organization. The transaction was accounted for in a manner similar to the pooling of interests method of accounting for a business combination. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the Bank are presented in these consolidated financial statements at historical cost and earnings per share have been computed as if the common stock had been outstanding since January 1, 1995. Description of Business: LSB operates primarily in the banking industry which accounts for more than 90% of its revenues, operating income and assets. LSB generates mortgage and consumer loans and receives deposits from customers located primarily in Tippecanoe county in Indiana. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is secured by single and multi-family residential mortgages. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates most susceptible to change in the near term include the allowance for loan losses and the fair value of securities. Statement of Cash Flows: For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and short-term investments. The Bank reports net cash flows for customer loan transactions and deposit transactions and for changes in interest-bearing balances with other financial institutions. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) 23 LSB FINANCIAL CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 (Dollars in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Securities: Securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities are classified as available-for-sale when they might be sold before maturity. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported separately in shareholders' equity, net of tax. Securities are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not temporary. Premium amortization is deducted from and discount accretion is added to interest income. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific identification method. Inventory of Loans Held for Sale: The Bank sells a portion of its mortgage loan production in the secondary market. Whenever loan cost exceeds market value on a net aggregate basis, a valuation reserve is recorded and the loans are carried at the lower of cost or market. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the market value of such loans exceeded their cost. During December 1996, the Bank transferred approximately $10,282 of fixed rate mortgage loans from the loan portfolio to the held for sale portfolio. This transfer was done to diversify the loan portfolio and as part of management's strategic plan to expand the Bank's consumer and commercial loan portfolios. Approximately 50% of these loans were sold in December 1996 and the balance in January 1997. Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required based on past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged-off. Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impairment is evaluated collectively for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans, and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate. Loans are evaluated for impairment when payments are delayed, typically 90 days or more, or when the internal grading system indicates a doubtful classification. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) 24 LSB FINANCIAL CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 (Dollars in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued): The carrying values of impaired loans are periodically adjusted to reflect cash payments, revised estimates of future cash flows, and increases in the present value of expected cash flows due to the passage of time. Cash payments representing interest income are reported as such. Other cash payments are reported as reductions in carrying value, while increases or decreases due to changes in estimates of future payments and due to the passage of time are reported as provision for loan losses expense. Recognition of Income on Loans: Interest income on loans is accrued over the term of the loans. Uncollectible interest on loans that are past due is charged-off or an allowance is established based on management's periodic evaluation. Loan fees, net of direct loan origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the contractual life of the loan as an adjustment to interest income using the interest method. Servicing Rights: Prior to adopting Financial Accounting Standard No. 122 on January 1, 1996, servicing right assets were recorded only for purchased rights to service mortgage loans. Subsequent to adopting this standard, servicing rights represent both purchased rights and the allocated value of servicing rights retained on loans sold. Servicing rights are expensed in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is evaluated based on the fair value of the rights, using groupings of the underlying loans as to interest rates and then, secondarily, as to geographic and prepayment characteristics. A valuation allowance is recorded to reflect the impairment of a grouping. Real Estate Owned: Real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure is carried at the lower of cost (fair value at foreclosure) or fair value less estimated selling costs. Future declines in value, if any, are charged to operations through a provision for loss on real estate owned. The costs of holding the real estate are charged to operations while major improvements are capitalized. Office Properties and Equipment: Office properties and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed by straight-line and accelerated methods over estimated useful lives. Retirement Plans: The Bank maintains a profit sharing plan, pursuant to Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan covers substantially all full time employees. Participants may contribute a percentage of their compensation, subject to certain limits. The plan allows the Bank, at the Board's discretion, to make contributions. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) 25 LSB FINANCIAL CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 (Dollars in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Retirement Plans (Continued): Coincident with conversion to the stock form of organization, the Bank established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) covering substantially all full time employees. The expense recognized as ESOP shares are earned by participants is based on the fair value of such shares. The difference between the cost of ESOP shares earned, and their market value, is reflected as an addition to (or deduction from) additional paid-in capital. Stock Compensation: Expense for employee compensation under stock option plans is reported only if options are granted below market price at grant date. Pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share are provided as if the fair value method of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 were used for stock-based compensation. Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the sum of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Fair Values of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed separately. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. The fair value estimates of existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments does not include the value of anticipated future business or the values of assets and liabilities not considered financial instruments. Reclassifications: Certain items in the 1995 financial statements have been reclassified to be consistent with presentation in the 1996 financial statements. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) 26 LSB FINANCIAL CORP.

In addition to cash, a ten year mortgage note, secured by the branch property, was issued in the amount of $328. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 5.5%. Payments, including interest, are $4 per month with a final maturity of January 2003. NOTE 9 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS At the time of its conversion to a stock form of organization, LSB established a liquidation account in an amount equal to its total net worth as of the date of the latest statement of financial condition appearing in the final prospectus, which was $8,066. The liquidation account is maintained for the benefit of eligible depositors who continue to maintain their accounts at the Company after the conversion. The liquidation account declines annually to the extent that eligible depositors have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder's interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation, each eligible depositor will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then held. The balance allocated to the liquidation account is not available for payment of dividends. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) 32 LSB FINANCIAL CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 (Dollars in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 9 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS (Continued) The Bank has qualified under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code which permit it to deduct from taxable income a provision for bad debts that differs from the provision for such losses charged against income in the financial statements, if any. This portion of retained earnings is considered to be restricted because if, in the future, this portion of retained earnings is used for any purpose other than to absorb bad debt losses, federal income taxes would be imposed at the then applicable rates. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard 109, LSB has not recorded a liability for the portion of the tax reserve established prior to January 1, 1988, which totals $1,861. At current tax rates, the tax liability for such amount would be $744. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by its primary regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. These guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action involve quantitative measures of capital, assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices as well as qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. LSB's deposit insurance premium rate is also based, in part, on these requirements. At December 31, 1995 and 1996, the Bank's actual and required minimum capital ratios were as follows: FDIC ---- OTS To Be Well --- Capitalized Under For Capital Corrective Action Actual Adequacy Purposes Provisions ------ ----------------- ---------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) 1995 $ 15,976 15.03% $ 8,504 8.0% $ 10,630 10.0% 1996 $ 16,623 12.44% $ 10,687 8.0% $ 13,359 10.0% Tier I Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets) 1995 $ 15,054 14.16% $ 4,252 4.0% $ 6,378 6.0% 1996 $ 15,122 11.32% $ 5,344 4.0% $ 8,015 6.0% Tier 1 (Core) Capital (to Adjusted Assets) 1995 $ 15,054 9.58% $ 4,713 3.0% $ 7,857 5.0% 1996 $ 15,122 8.23% $ 5,509 3.0% $ 9,182 5.0% Tangible Capital (to Adjusted Assets) 1995 $ 15,054 9.58% $ 2,357 1.5% N/A 1996 $ 15,122 8.23% $ 2,755 1.5% N/A - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) 33 LSB FINANCIAL CORP.

At December 31, 1996, the Bank's capital ratios result in its being designated a well capitalized institution. NOTE 10 - BENEFIT PLANS The Bank maintains a 401(k) plan for the benefit of eligible employees. Employer contributions are discretionary. Expense recognized for this plan was $54, $0 and $0 in 1994, 1995 and 1996. In August 1995, LSB shareholders approved a Stock Option Plan which reserved 102,957 shares of Common Stock for granting options to directors and officers of the Companies. Under the terms of the Plan, options can be granted at values not less than the fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant. Options vest at each anniversary date over a five year period and must be exercised within ten years of grant. Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, which became effective for 1996, requires pro forma disclosures for companies that do not adopt its fair value accounting method for stock-based employee compensation. Accordingly, the following pro forma information presents net income and earnings per share had the Standard's fair value method been used to measure compensation cost for stock option plans. Compensation cost actually recognized for stock options was $0 for both 1995 and 1996. 1995 1996 ---- ---- Net income as reported $ 1,242 $ 876 Pro forma net income 1,224 821 Earnings per share as reported 1.30 1.00 Pro forma earnings per share 1.29 .93 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) 34 LSB FINANCIAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 (Dollars in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 10 - BENEFIT PLANS (Continued) In August 1995, LSB shareholders approved a Recognition and Retention Plan (RRP) that awarded 27,793 shares of stock to certain officers and directors of the Company. An additional 1,286 shares were awarded during 1996. The stock awarded under the Plan is restricted as to certain rights at the time of issuance. These restrictions are removed over a 5 year period. The cost of these shares is amortized over the vesting period. Expense recorded for the RRP totalled $28 and $90 in 1995 and 1996. In conjunction with the conversion, the Bank established an ESOP which purchased 8%, or 82,366 shares, of the stock offered in the conversion. The funds used by the ESOP to purchase the stock were provided by an $824 loan from LSB which will be repaid by contributions to the ESOP by the Bank in the future. Pursuant to the ESOP, the shares are to be allocated to participants annually, over a 12 year period. The ESOP covers substantially all employees and shares are allocated based upon employee compensation levels during the year. ESOP expense is based on the fair value of shares committed to be released and, for 1995 and 1996, totaled $123 and $143. During 1995 and 1996, 8,504 and 8,540 shares were earned by and committed to be released to participants. The number of shares earned each year is determined by the ESOP loan agreement. Shares no longer required to be held as collateral for that loan are committed to be released and are earned by participants. At December 31, 1996, 65,322 unreleased shares with a fair value of $1,274 were held by the ESOP. The ESOP also held 8,504 shares which were allocated to participants' accounts and 8,540 shares which were released for allocation. Dividends paid on shares that are not allocated to participants' accounts are used to service debt. NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES The Bank leases branch and office facilities under operating leases that expire in 1999 and 2000. Total expense for leased premises was $26, $34, and $54 for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996. Future minimum lease payments at December 31, 1996 are as follows: 1997 $ 47 1998 47 1999 33 2000 15 2001 - -------------- $ 142 ============== - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) 36 LSB FINANCIAL CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 (Dollars in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Continued) In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has loans, commitments and contingent liabilities, such as guarantees and commitments to extend credit, which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial guarantees is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policy to make such commitments as it uses for on-balance-sheet items. At December 31, 1995 and 1996 these financial instruments are summarized as follows: 1995 1996 ---- ---- Commitments to extend credit: Fixed rate $ 1,188 $ 1,280 Variable rate 3,386 1,141 Unused portions of lines of credit 9,838 13,413 Standby letters of credit 833 423 The commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established under the contract. Generally, such commitments are for no more than 60 days. At December 31, 1996, the fixed rate loan commitments were at rates ranging from 7.5% to 8.375%. The lines of credit are commercial and home equity lines of credit and are variable rate. Since many commitments to make loans expire without being used, the amounts do not necessarily represent future cash commitments. Collateral obtained upon exercise of the commitment is determined using management's credit evaluation of the borrower. LSB and the Bank are party to various legal actions arising in the course of business. In the opinion of management, the companies have adequate legal defenses and/or insurance coverage with respect to these actions and their resolution will not materially affect the operations or financial position of LSB or the Bank. The Bank is party to an agreement with a third party service organization which provides data processing services to the Bank until the year 2000. Should the Bank terminate the contract prior to completion of the term, it would incur a penalty based on 80% of the expected remaining payments under the agreement. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) 37 LSB FINANCIAL CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 (Dollars in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 13 - EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, adjusted, if the effect is significant, for common stock equivalents. The stock options outstanding are considered common stock equivalents. To evaluate the potential dilutive effect of these common stock equivalents, actual weighted average shares outstanding are increased by the number of shares issuable under the options, assuming full exercise, and reduced by the number of shares that could, hypothetically, be reacquired using the proceeds from the exercise of those options. For 1995 and 1996, the dilutive effect of the stock options was not significant and earnings per share were computed based upon weighted average shares outstanding which were 958,566 in 1995 and 877,411 for 1996. Unreleased shares held by the ESOP are not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of computing earnings per share, whereas shares awarded under the RRP are considered to be outstanding. NOTE 14 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS LSB is required to disclose the estimated fair value of its financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments: Cash, Short-term Investments and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock: The carrying amount of these instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Securities: Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar instruments. Loans: The fair value of loans is based on estimates of the difference in interest rates that LSB would charge borrowers for similar loans with similar maturities applied for an estimated time period until the loan is assumed to reprice or be paid. Loan prepayments are considered when estimating the likely time period until repayment. Deposits: The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) 39 LSB FINANCIAL CORP.

Other Borrowings: The carrying amount of other borrowings is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Off-Balance Sheet Items: Carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. These instruments are generally variable rate and short-term in nature, with minimal fees charged. The estimated fair values of the LSB's financial instruments are as follows: 1995 1996 ---- ---- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Value Value Value Value ----- ----- ----- ----- Financial assets Cash and short-term investments $ 7,795 $ 7,795 $ 9,798 $ 9,798 Available-for-sale securities 12,295 12,295 6,546 6,546 Federal Home Loan Bank stock 1,500 1,500 2,575 2,575 Loans (net) 132,433 136,859 159,216 160,012 Financial liabilities Deposits (109,977) (110,514) (116,949) (116,838) Federal Home Loan Bank advances (28,500) (28,669) (50,000) (49,975) Other borrowings (1,114) (1,114) (220) (220) Off balance sheet items - - - - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) 40 LSB FINANCIAL CORP.

It revises the accounting for transfers of financial assets, such as loans and securities, and for distinguishing between sales and secured borrowings. It is effective for some transactions in 1997 and others in 1998. Management does not expect the effect on LSB's financial position and results of operations to be significant. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 42 LSB FINANCIAL CORP. and LAFAYETTE SAVINGS BANK, FSB DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS Directors John W.
