                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

         Blue River Bancshares, Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby amends Item 4.02
of its Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Original Form 8-K"), which was filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on April 20,
2005. Item 2.02 and 9.01 of the Original Form 8-K are not hereby being amended.

ITEM 4.02 NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED
AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW

(a) On March 27, 2005, the Registrant's independent registered public accounting
firm, Crowe Chizek and Company LLC ("Crowe Chizek"), concluded that the
Registrant had incorrectly accounted for FASB 91 cost deferrals on home equity
loans during fiscal year 2004 resulting in an overstatement of the Registrant's
net income in an aggregate amount equal to $178,000. The Registrant agreed with
such conclusion, and the Registrant (i) revised its year-end financial
statements prior to filing its 10-KSB to give effect to the aggregate
correction, (ii) determined that a material weakness should be disclosed in the
Registrant's 10-KSB with respect to its internal controls and procedures; (iii)
immediately implemented additional internal controls designed to, and reasonably
anticipated to, prevent a similar error from occurring in the future; and (iv)
commenced a review of the impact of the incorrect accounting on prior periods.

         At the time that the Registrant filed its 10-KSB on March 31, 2005, the
effect of the incorrect accounting for FASB 91 cost deferral on each of the
quarterly periods in 2004 was not known by the Registrant. Based upon the
information available to it at the time, the Registrant was not able to
determine which, if any, of the financial statements issued in the Registrant's
Forms 10-QSB in 2004 could no longer be relied upon. Accordingly, the Registrant
was not required, at the time that it filed its Form 10-KSB, to file a Form 8-K
expressing any conclusions with respect to non-reliance on previously issued
financial statements. The nature of the error introduced by the incorrect
accounting for FASB 91 cost deferrals necessitated a detailed review and
analysis in order to determine the materiality of any effect on the prior
quarterly financial statements.

         On April 14, 2005, the Chief Accounting Officer of the Registrant
concluded that the earnings reported in the Form 10-QSB for the first three
quarters of 2004 should be reduced by $41,000 for the first quarter, $55,000 for
the second quarter and $52,000 for the third quarter ($30,000 of the aggregate
amount of $178,000 was found to be attributable to the fourth quarter of 2004)
as a result of the incorrect accounting for FASB 91 cost deferrals. Accordingly,
April 14, 2005 was the first date on which an authorized officer of the
Registrant concluded that a previously issued financial statement should no
longer be relied upon because of an error in such financial statements.

         On April 14, 2005, the Chief Accounting Officer of the Registrant
discussed the Registrant's conclusions with respect to non-reliance on the
financial statements included in Forms 10-QSB for the first three quarters of
2004 with Crowe Chizek. On that same date, Crowe Chizek indicated that it agreed
with the Registrant's conclusions.

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
the Registrant has duly caused this Report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
