NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES On September 14, 2004, the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement") between American Community Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), Bank of Evansville, N.A. (the "National Bank"), and Interim Bank of Evansville (the "Interim Bank"), dated June 2, 2004, and approved at the Special Meeting of Shareholders of the National Bank held on July 27, 2004, became effective. Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the National Bank was merged with and into the Interim Bank, and each outstanding share of common stock, $5.00 par value per share, of the National Bank was converted into one share of common stock, no par value, of the Company (the "Reorganization"). As a result of the Reorganization, the Interim Bank has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Additionally, pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the name of Interim Bank has been changed to Bank of Evansville. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented as if the Reorganization occurred on January 1, 2003 and have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the National Bank's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for 2003 which was filed with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on March 30, 2004. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results shown in this interim report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other period or for the full year ended December 31, 2004. The Bank provides a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers in Vanderburgh County, Indiana, including Evansville and the surrounding areas in Southwestern Indiana. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions and nonfinancial institutions providing financial products and services. Additionally, the Bank is subject to regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies, including the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve, the Bank's primary regulator. The Company is regulated by and will undergo periodic examinations by the Federal Reserve. NOTE 2. STOCK OPTIONS At September 30, 2004, the Company has stock-based compensation plans which are described more fully in the notes to the Company's December 31, 2003, audited financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The Company accounts for the plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price that was equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. 6 The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock based employee compensation.

INTRODUCTION The Bank is a state chartered bank with depository accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank provides a full range of commercial and consumer banking services from two offices in Vanderburgh County, Indiana, for customers located primarily in Vanderburgh, Gibson, Posey and Warrick Counties, Indiana. This area includes Evansville and its surrounding communities. 11 The following presents management's discussion and analysis of the financial condition of the Company as of September 30, 2004 and the results of operation for the three months and nine months then ended. FINANCIAL CONDITION OVERVIEW Total assets grew $30,018,182 or 23.3% to $158,970,935 at September 30, 2004 from $128,952,753 reported at December 31, 2003. The growth in assets was primarily attributable to an increase in loans of 31.4%. Total deposits increased $25,049,194 or 21.7% to $140,555,698 at September 30, 2004 compared to $115,506,504 at December 31, 2003. Cash and cash equivalents were $8,119,767 at September 30, 2004, compared to $10,007,161 at December 31, 2003. The Bank maintains cash on hand and in correspondent banks at a level management believes is adequate to support day-to-day operations. Excess funds are invested in the overnight federal funds market and short-term certificates of deposit. Securities available for sale were $14,852,395 at September 30, 2004 and $14,685,496 at December 31, 2003. The Bank maintains its securities portfolio primarily to provide liquidity, and to support loan growth and fluctuations in deposit levels. In addition, securities available for sale provide potential liquidity as collateral for repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings. The Bank has experienced strong loan growth in the first three quarters of 2004. Total loans were $130,052,056 at September 30, 2004, an increase of $31,077,953, or 31.4% over the December 31, 2003 total of $98,974,103. Commercial and commercial real estate loans accounted for $28,844,243 or 92.8% of the increase. The percentage distribution of loans by major classifications is as follows: September 30, December 31, 2004 2003 ------------- ------------ Real estate 6.65% 9.20% Commercial 28.88% 32.38% Commercial real estate 55.57% 49.45% Consumer 0.69% 0.94% Home equity 8.17% 8.01% Other 0.04% 0.02% ------ ------ 100.00% 100.00% ====== ====== For the nine month period ending September 30, 2004, net charge-offs totaled $12,679 or .01%, on an annualized basis, of average loans outstanding for the period, net of unearned income. There were no charges-offs in 2003. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2004 was $1,952,000 or 1.50% of total loans compared to $1,498,500 or 1.51% at December 31, 2003. In each accounting period the allowance for loan losses is adjusted by management to an amount management believes is necessary to maintain the allowance at adequate levels for known and probable losses. Management's evaluation of the allowance is based on the consideration of several factors including actual loss experience, the present and prospective financial condition of borrowers, industry concentrations within the portfolio and general economic conditions, as well as any specifically identifiable problem loans. Management believes that the allowance is adequate, based on the broad range of considerations listed above, and absent some of those factors, based upon peer industry data for comparable banks. Additional increases in the dollar amount of the allowance for loan losses are expected in future periods due to anticipated growth in the loan portfolio. At September 30, 2004 the recorded investment for loans for which impairment has been recognized was $155,862. This amount represents two loan relationships, one of which is in the amount of $85,667, with a $50,000 related allowance. The other relationship in the amount of $70,195, represents 12 the SBA guaranteed portion of a loan; the un-guaranteed portion of this loan was charged-off in June 2004. At September 30, 2003 impaired loans totaled $178,000 with a $50,000 related allowance. Net premises and equipment at September 30, 2004 was $5,588,953 compared to $5,663,967 at December 31, 2003. On April 19, 2002 the Bank purchased a 40,000 square foot building, located at 4424 Vogel Road in Evansville, Indiana, to be used as its headquarters and east side banking facility for approximately $2.2 million. The Bank remodeled approximately 11,600 square feet of the building for its use at a cost of approximately $1.7 million. The Bank commenced operations in its new headquarters on February 18, 2003. In 2004 additional office space on the second floor was built-out, at a cost of approximately $70,000, to accommodate current and future staff additions. This space was previously used for storage. The portions of the building not used by the Bank are leased to various other businesses. Other assets consisting primarily of accrued interest receivable were $161,659 at September 30, 2004, compared to $198,164 at December 31, 2003. Deposits grew to $140,555,698, an increase of $25,049,194 or 21.7% over the $115,506,504 reported at December 31, 2003. The following table indicates the major categories of deposits: September 30, 2004 December 31, 2003 Dollars Percent Dollars Percent ------------ ------- ------------ ------- Non-interest bearing demand $ 13,061,798 9.29% $ 13,471,364 11.66% Savings 3,259,964 2.32% 3,205,827 2.77% NOW accounts 40,363,161 28.72% 39,566,999 34.26% Money market deposit accounts 21,269,373 15.13% 10,530,705 9.12% Time deposits under $100,000 15,371,909 10.94% 11,390,045 9.86% Time deposits $100,000 and over 47,229,493 33.60% 37,341,564 32.33% ------------ ------ ------------ ------ Total $140,555,698 100.00% $115,506,504 100.00% ============ ====== ============ ====== The growth in deposits was primarily due to increases in money market accounts and time deposits. The increase in money market accounts, $10,738,668 or 102.0%, is largely related to the introduction of a new money market product in the fourth quarter of 2003, specifically targeting high balance customers. Time deposits increased $13,869,793 or 28.5% from the level reported at December 31, 2003. Strong loan growth has resulted in the Bank being more competitive to attract large time deposits from public entities and brokers. Since these deposits are obtained through a competitive bidding process they are more rate sensitive and more volatile than retail deposits. Total stockholders' equity at September 30, 2004 was $14,645,524, compared to $13,180,875 at December 31, 2003. The recent sale of 83,375 shares of common stock to German American Bancorp provided additional capital of $1,016,810, net of offering costs. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003 Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was $181,961 or $0.12 per share, compared to $108,578 or $0.07 a share for the period ending September 30, 2003. Interest income for the quarter was $1,814,988, an increase of $535,688 or 41.9% over the period ending September 30, 2003. Average loans in the third quarter increased $35,083,919 or 40.0% over the third quarter of 2003, which resulted in an increase of $487,899 in interest and fees on loans. Average investment securities increased $3,016,751 over the same period in 2003, resulting in an increase of 13 $33,478 or 27.1% in interest on investment securities. For the quarter, average earning assets increased $40,685,397 and average interest bearing liabilities increased $37,060,443 over the period ending September 30, 2003. The net effect was an increase of $421,714 in net interest income for the quarter as compared to the same period in 2003. Average earning assets for the quarter increased 39.5%, and the yield on earning assets increased from 4.93% at September 30, 2003 to 5.03% at September 30, 2004. Prime rate increases in July, August and September 2004 and the large percentage of floating rate loans in the bank's portfolio account for the increase in yield. Average interest bearing liabilities increased 42.8% over the same period in 2003, and related interest expense increased $113,974 or 22.9%. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 1.96% for the third quarter of 2004 compared to 2.27% for the third quarter of 2003. The net interest margin for the quarter, which is equal to net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earnings assets, was 3.34% and 3.02% at September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. 14 The following table reflects the average balance, interest earned or paid, and yields or cost for the Bank's assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity for the third quarter of 2004 and 2003: Three months ending September 30, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 2003 ------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- Interest Interest Average Earned or Yield or Average Earned or Yield or Balance Paid Cost Balance Paid Cost ------------- ------------- -------- ------------ ---------- -------- Assets Interest bearing deposits $ 2,055,748 $ 11,908 2.30% $ 590,217 $ 2,971 2.00% Federal funds sold 2,791,065 9,460 1.35% 1,671,869 4,086 0.97% Securities -taxable 15,888,639 156,919 3.93% 12,871,888 123,441 3.80% Loans (1) (2) 122,850,824 1,636,701 5.30% 87,766,905 1,148,802 5.19% ------------- ------------- ---- ------------ ---------- ---- Total interest-earning assets 143,586,276 1,814,988 5.03% 102,900,879 1,279,300 4.93% Allowance for loan losses (1,834,388) (1,308,190) Cash and due from banks 3,679,374 2,226,884 Other assets 7,164,235 6,260,358 ------------- ------------ Total assets $ 152,595,497 $110,079,931 ============= ============ Liabilities & Shareholders' Equity Interest-bearing checking $ 42,179,643 $ 219,952 2.07% $ 38,765,195 $ 268,614 2.75% Savings 3,393,101 4,736 0.56% 3,357,844 9,191 1.09% Money market 16,450,965 69,767 1.69% 9,344,742 30,140 1.28% Certificates of deposit 59,549,341 306,716 2.05% 35,061,686 188,129 2.13% Federal funds purchased 418,707 2,041 1.94% 135,543 568 1.66% FHLB advances 1,733,696 7,404 1.70% - - - ------------- ------------- ---- ------------ ---------- ---- Total interest bearing liabilities 123,725,453 610,616 1.96% 86,665,010 496,642 2.27% Non-interest bearing checking 14,547,630 9,641,176 Other liabilities 521,509 672,456 Stockholders' equity 13,800,905 13,101,289 ------------- ------------ Total liabilities & shareholders equity $ 152,595,497 $110,079,931 ============= ============ Net interest income $ 1,204,372 $ 782,658 Rate Spread 3.07% 2.66% Net interest income as a percent of average earning assets 3.34% 3.02% (1) Interest income on loans includes net fees on loans of $58,712 in 2004 and $64,281 in 2003. (2) Non accrual loans are included in average balances The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2004 was $207,000 compared to $78,500 in 2003. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans was 1.50% and 1.46% at September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Non-interest income was $200,892 for the third quarter of 2004 compared to $163,658 in 2003. Gains on the sale of residential real estate loans originated by the Bank and sold in the secondary market were $81,567 in 2004 and $103,372 in 2003, and were the largest single component of non-interest income. With record low interest rates the volume of first time buyers and refinancing was extremely high during 2003. The drop in gains on the sale of residential real estate loans is directly related to a 22% drop in 15 activity. Service charges on deposit accounts for the third quarter were $32,487 in 2004 and $19,345 in 2003. Merchant processing income on commercial accounts was $61,295 for the third quarter of 2004, compared to $16,136 for the same period in 2003. Visa debit card income was $8,800 and $5,994 for the quarters ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in both merchant processing and Visa debit card income is attributable to an increase in volume, as the Bank had very few customers in early 2003 using these services. Non-interest expense was $1,016,303 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared to $759,238 for the same period in 2003. Salaries and employee benefit expense increased $107,570 or 23.4% over the third quarter of 2003. At September 30, 2004 the Bank employed a staff of 33 full-time equivalents compared to 30 at September 30, 2003. Staffing levels, as well as salaries and benefits are adjusted as necessary to support the Bank's growth and attract and maintain quality people. Occupancy and equipment expense incurred to operate the Bank's two banking facilities for the third quarter of 2004 was $108,666 compared to $100,944 in the third quarter of 2003. This increase is primarily related to depreciation and other expenses in the new facility that the Bank did not occupy until mid-February 2003. Data processing expense was $63,606 for the quarter ending September 30, 2004, an increase of $9,813 over the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Data processing expense is variable based on the number of accounts and transactions and increases as a function of the growth of the Bank. Supplies, postage and printing expense was $18,306 and $13,047 for the quarter ending September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Legal and professional fees for the third quarter were $70,691 in 2004 and $41,052 in 2003. Other non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2004 was $167,766 compared to $79,411 in 2003. Fees related to Visa debit cards, merchant processing and interchange fee expense totaled $54,797 for the quarter ending September 30, 2004, compared to $15,288 for the same period in 2003. This expense is offset by even greater increases in other income, as previously mentioned. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003 Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $462,779 compared to $244,495 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Net interest income was $3,298,380 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $2,192,723 for the same period in 2003. Average earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $133,868,519, an increase of $36,724,504 or 37.8% over the same period in 2003, and related interest income increased by $1,248,304 or 34.1%. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $30,950,694 or 36.9%, resulting in an increase in interest expense of $142,647 or 9.7%. Non-interest income for the nine months ending September 30, 2004, increased $71,558 over the same period in 2003. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $26,457 or 52.9% over the same period in 2003. This increase is a result of a large increase, 26.4%, in the number of accounts, and an increase in the service charge structure. Other income increased 78.0% or $89,346 over the same period in 2003. Visa debit card income increased $8,602 over the nine month period ended September 30, 2003. Merchant processing income increased $115,434 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in both merchant processing and Visa debit card income is attributable to an increase in volume, as the Bank had very few customers in early 2003 using these services. Non-interest expense for the nine months ending September 30, 2004 was $2,937,934, an increase of $699,252 or 31.2% over the same period in 2003. Salaries and employee benefit expense increased $383,865 or 29.8% over the same period in 2003. Balance sheet growth exceeding 35% has necessitated hiring additional staff in order to provide prompt, quality service. Legal and professional fees increased $66,343 over the same period in 2003; this increase is largely related to the formation of a bank holding company and converting to a state charter. Other non-interest expense for the nine months ending September 30, 2004 increased $171,528 over the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Visa debit 16 card, merchant processing and interchange fee expense totaled $118,129 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $30,423 for the same period in 2003. This expense is offset by even greater increases in other income, as previously mentioned.

(2) Non accrual loans are included in average balances LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Bank's strategy is to fund loan growth by obtaining deposits primarily from its local market; however, the Bank from time to time seeks a limited amount of deposits from outside its market area, or from brokers, to meet short term or special liquidity requirements. These deposits are typically acquired 17 solely on the basis of price and therefore are more prone to be withdrawn upon changes in interest rates than deposits from customers in the Bank's geographical area. The Bank obtains public funds deposits from public entities located in its local market area. These deposits are acquired through a competitive bidding process and are also more rate sensitive than retail deposits. The Bank intends to maintain liquid assets equal to at least 10% of its total assets. Liquidity is maintained in the form of Federal funds sold, certificates of deposit with other banks and that portion of the securities portfolio which is available for sale. The Bank's liquidity ratio was 12.0% at September 30, 2004 and 15.4% at December 31, 2003. The Bank also maintains contingent sources of liquidity in the form of federal funds lines with other banks. At September 30, 2004 the Bank had available federal funds lines of approximately $8,600,000. In addition, the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("FHLB"). As a FHLB member the Bank has the ability to borrow from the FHLB on a secured basis. At September 30, 2004, the Bank had outstanding borrowings totaling $3,500,000 from the FHLB to cover short term funding needs. In May 2003, the Bank sold 335,334 shares of its $5.00 par value common stock to existing shareholders for aggregate proceeds of $3,554,255 (net of expenses). In August 2004 the Bank sold 83,375 shares of its $5.00 par value common stock to German American Bancorp for aggregate proceeds of $1,016,810 (net of offering costs and commissions). As a new bank, the regulatory authorities required the Bank to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8% for its first three years of operation. In addition, as a condition to the conversion to an Indiana state banking charter, the Bank must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8% for a period of two years after the conversion to a state banking charter. At September 30, 2004 the Bank's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.6%. Based on the Bank's current asset level and management's growth projections, management believes it will have adequate funds to meet its regulatory capital requirements through at least September 30, 2005. Management is not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that will have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Bank's liquidity, capital resources or operations except as has been discussed. Also, the Bank is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities, which would have such an effect if implemented. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS The Bank had outstanding commitments to fund loans, including lines of credit, of $24,033,739 and $18,144,987 at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The Bank had no commitments to purchase whole loans or loan participations at September 30, 2004 or December 31, 2003. The Bank's outstanding commitments for letters of credit was $1,229,162 at September 30, 2004 and $980,849 at December 31, 2003. In the normal course of business, the Bank has entered into certain contractual obligations and other commitments. These obligations relate to the funding of operations through deposits and commitments to extend credit. Commitments to fund loans represent future cash requirements of the Bank; however, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. 18 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are determined to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the loan balance is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Due to the fact that the Bank's loan portfolio is not seasoned, historical loss experience is not as meaningful to management's estimation process. Therefore, management has been relying heavily on peer group averages for loss experience until such time that the Bank's actual loss experience becomes more relevant. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not generally separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment measurements. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. (b) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. There were no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described in paragraph (a) above that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 19 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
