ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

1st Source Corporation is an Indiana corporation and registered bank
holding company headquartered in South Bend, Indiana which commenced
operations as a bank holding company in 1971. As used herein, unless the
context otherwise requires, the term "Company" refers to 1st Source
Corporation and its subsidiaries. At December 31, 1996, the Company had
assets of $2.08 billion, deposits of $1.63 billion and total shareholders'
equity of $171.8 million. Pages 16 through 38 of the Company's Annual Report
to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1996 are incorporated herein
by reference.

The Company, through its principal subsidiary 1st Source Bank (the
"Bank"), delivers a comprehensive range of consumer and commercial banking
services to individual and business customers through 42 banking locations in
the northern Indiana/southwestern Michigan market area. The Bank also
competes for business nationwide by offering specialized financing services
for used private aircraft, automobiles for leasing and rental agencies, heavy
duty trucks and construction equipment. The Bank, which was chartered as an
Indiana state bank in 1922, is a member of the Federal Reserve System and its
deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC") to the extent provided by law. The Bank is headquartered in South
Bend, Indiana, which is in northern Indiana, approximately 95 miles east of
Chicago and 140 miles north of Indianapolis. Its principal market area
consists of eight counties in northern Indiana and two counties on
southwestern Michigan. South Bend, in St. Joseph County, is the largest city
in a 55-mile radius, and is a regional center for educational institutions,
health care, financial, accounting and legal services and retailing.

The Company's other subsidiaries include 1st Source Leasing, Inc., an
originator and servicer of personal property leases to businesses nationwide,
1st Source Insurance, Inc., a general property and casualty insurance agency
in South Bend, 1st Source Capital Corporation, a licensed small business
investment company, and Trustcorp Mortgage Company, a mortgage banking
company with three offices in Indiana and one each in Ohio, Illinois and
Missouri. The Company's inactive subsidiaries include 1st Source Travel,
Inc., 1st Source Auto Leasing, Inc., and FBT Capital Corporation.

The principal executive office of the Company is located at 100 North
Michigan Street, South Bend, Indiana 46601 and its telephone number is (219)
235-2000.

BUSINESS STRATEGY AND OBJECTIVES

The Company, as part of its "Vision 2000" strategic planning process
commenced in 1995, has identified several business objectives and strategies
which focus on growth and customer service. The principal objectives of the
Company under Vision 2000 have been to (i) increase financial performance and
market share, (ii) provide exceptional customer service, (iii) enhance credit
quality, and (iv) maintain cost controls.

The Company has employed the following strategies in furtherance of its
Vision 2000 objectives:

1. Increase market share in each market served and as a percentage
of each customer's relationship. The Company opened ten new banking
locations in 1996 as part of its banking center expansion program designed to
maintain its position as one of the dominant financial institutions in the
South Bend/Elkhart market area -- which includes eight counties in northern
Indiana and two counties in southwestern lower Michigan. Two of the new
banking locations were located in Michigan, which are the Company's first
locations in Michigan as a result of new reciprocal legislation passed during
1996

2

between Michigan and Indiana permitting de novo branching across state
lines. Management believes that such a strategy allows the most effective
and efficient use of the Company's marketing resources and assures that the
Company's banking offices are accessible to a majority of the people residing
in the markets served. The Company's goal is to deliver highly personal and
superior customer services through each of its banking facilities and to meet
a higher percentage of each customer's financial needs through personal
relationship management.

2. Expand fee-based businesses. The Company currently provides a
number of fee-based services to its clients, the major services being trust,
mortgage banking, equipment leasing, property and casualty insurance, and
securitized loan servicing. The Company believes that additional sources of
fee income are available from existing relationships and that the existing
fee-based product line can be used effectively in developing new
relationships with customers. The Company also believes that customers are
more loyal and responsive to its products and services when a large
percentage of a customer's financial services are provided directly by the
Company. The Company's fee-based businesses are designed to deepen the
strength of the relationship between the Company and its customers.

3. Expand the national niche businesses across the United States
taking advantage of specialized opportunities. The Company caters to
specialized national market niches that management believes are not being
well served by either the credit subsidiaries of manufacturers or by other
financial institutions. Asset-based lending and personal relationship
management of the customer base, together with an efficient method of
operation, is the focus of the Bank's Transportation and Equipment Financing
Group, which provides such services. Additional experienced sales people
have been and will be added to ensure better geographic coverage in areas of
opportunity. The Company has also pursued a strategy of securitizing loan
receivables so that business growth is not totally dependent on deposit
funding.

4. Actively managing credit quality. The Company has adopted a
proactive credit management process with loan officers maintaining
responsibility for the quality of the credits they originate and manage. The
credit management process is supported by a collective and collaborative
review and approval process and is balanced by a review, evaluation and
grading process undertaken by the Company's independent loan review
department. Senior management is actively involved in the management of the
process and incentive compensation is impacted by the Company's overall credit
experience.

BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES

The organization provides financial services through the following
groups:

* Personal and Small Business Banking Group --

The Bank's Personal and Small Business Banking Group serves
individuals and small businesses with direct lending, credit
cards, auto leasing, personal trust, brokerage services, and a
wide range of deposit products. The Group's operations are
conducted through the Bank's main office, its 42 branch
offices, two free-standing drive-up facilities and 41 automatic
teller machines. Loans of approximately $367 million and
deposits of approximately $1.41 billion were attributable to
the Group at December 31, 1996. The Bank's Personal Trust
Division managed approximately 1,421 accounts at December 31,
1996, consisting of $493 million in assets. The Personal Trust
Division earned $4.15 million in fee income during 1996.

Besides traditional branch locations, alternative delivery
systems are in place to enhance customer service. Certificates
of deposit are offered on the Internet and customers also can
use their telephone to check their account balances and
transfer funds 24 hours a day. A centralized "loan by phone"
system provides customers with immediate loan decisions while
they are on the phone and coordinates product delivery through
the local banking offices. The organization's goal is to
continue to improve the match between a customer's individual
needs and the Bank's products and services.

* Commercial Banking Group --

The Bank's Commercial Banking Group provides a wide range of
services to business customers, including loans and leases,
investments, international services, corporate cash management
and employee benefit trust services. Customers can initiate
deposit and loan transactions, check balances and account
clearings, and transfer funds among accounts on a daily basis
using a direct-access PC to communicate with the Bank. The
Group's primary focus is privately-held or closely-controlled
firms, which have annual sales between $2 million and $100
million and are doing business or are located within an 80-mile
radius of South Bend. Loans of approximately $473 million and
deposits of approximately $68 million were attributable to the
Group at December 31, 1996. The Bank's Employee Benefit
Division managed approximately 498 retirement plans at December
31, 1996, consisting of $456 million in assets. The Employee
Benefit Division earned $2.58 million in fee income during
1996.

* Transportation and Equipment Financing Group --

The Bank's Transportation and Equipment Financing Group offers
specialized financing services nationwide. The Group serves a
limited number of high-quality automobile leasing and rental
companies, truck leasing companies and manufacturers of
specialized truck bodies, finances used aircraft nationwide,
and provides lending services to dealers, contractors and other
end users of construction equipment. The Group has employees
located in Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Pennsylvania,
Texas, Washington and Wisconsin. Loans of approximately $552
million, or 37.9% of the Company's consolidated total loans,
were attributable to the Group at December 31, 1996. The Group
also services approximately $165 million of off-balance sheet
loans, primarily as the result of securitizations.

* Mortgage Banking Group --

Trustcorp Mortgage Company, a subsidiary of the Company, is a
mortgage banking company operating on a regional basis. The
principal business activities include origination, purchase,
sale and servicing of mortgage loans for investors. Locations
include three offices in Indiana, one in Columbus, Ohio and
newly opened offices in suburban St. Louis and Chicago. As of
December 31, 1996, Trustcorp Mortgage Company had outstanding
loans of $64 million and serviced a mortgage portfolio of $1.28
billion.

OWNERSHIP

As of February 14, 1997, the directors and executive officers of the
Company and their immediate families owned approximately 43.5% of the
Company's common stock and, as a result, exercise substantial control over
the Company.

COMPETITION

The activities in which the Company and the Bank engage are highly
competitive. Those activities and the geographic markets served involve
primarily competition with other banks, some of which are affiliated with
large bank holding companies headquartered outside of the Company's principal
market. Larger financial institutions competing within the Company's
principal market, but headquartered elsewhere, include KeyBank, NorWest Bank,
Standard Federal Bank and Valley American Bank and Trust Company.
Competition among financial institutions is based upon interest rates offered
on deposit accounts, interest rates charged on loans and other credit and
service charges, the quality of services rendered, the convenience of banking
facilities and, in the case of loans to large commercial borrowers, relative
lending limits.

In addition to competing with other banks within their primary service
areas, the Bank also competes with other financial intermediaries, such as
credit unions, industrial loan associations, securities firms, insurance
companies, small loan companies, finance companies, mortgage companies, real
estate investment trusts, certain governmental agencies, credit organizations
and other enterprises. Additional competition for depositors' funds comes
from United States Government securities, private issuers of debt obligations
and suppliers of other investment alternatives for depositors. Many of the
Company's non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive federal
regulations that govern bank holding companies and banks. Such non-bank
competitors may, as a result, have certain advantages over the Company in
providing some services.

The Company competes against larger financial institutions, which have
the advantage of certain economies of scale not enjoyed by a financial
institution the size of the Company, by relying on a history in the market
dating back to 1863, with the relationships long-term employees have with
their customers and with the capacity for quick local decision-making.

EMPLOYEES

The Company employs approximately 895 persons on a full-time equivalent
basis. The Company provides a wide range of employee benefits and considers
employee relations to be good.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

GENERAL. The Company and the Bank are extensively regulated under
federal and state law. These laws and regulations are intended to protect
depositors, not shareholders. To the extent that the following information
describes statutory or regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions. Any
change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on the
business and prospects of the Company. The operations of the Company may be
affected by legislative changes and by the policies of various regulatory
authorities. The Company is unable to predict the nature or the extent of
the effects on its business and

5
6
earnings that fiscal or monetary policies, economic controls or new federal
or state legislation may have in the future.

The Company is a registered bank holding company under the BHCA and, as
such, is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"). The Company
is required to file annual reports with the Federal Reserve and to provide
the Federal Reserve such additional information as it may require.

The Bank, as an Indiana state bank, is supervised by the Indiana
Department of Financial Institutions (the "DFI") and the Federal Reserve. As
such, the Bank is regularly examined by and subject to regulations
promulgated by the DFI and the Federal Reserve. Because the FDIC provides
deposit insurance to the Bank, the Bank is also subject to supervision and
regulation by the FDIC (even though the FDIC is not its primary federal
regulator).

RECENT AND PENDING LEGISLATION. The enactment of the legislation
described below has significantly affected the banking industry generally and
will have an ongoing effect on the Company and the Bank in the future.

Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989.
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA") reorganized and reformed the regulatory structure applicable to
financial institutions generally. FIRREA, among other things, enhanced the
supervisory and enforcement powers for the federal bank regulatory agencies,
required insured financial institutions to guaranty repayment of losses
incurred by the FDIC in connection with the failure of an affiliated
financial institution, required financial institutions to provide their
primary federal regulator with notice (under certain circumstances) of
changes in senior management and broadened authority for bank holding
companies to acquire savings institutions.

Under FIRREA, federal banking regulators have greater flexibility to
bring enforcement actions against insured institutions and institution-
affiliated parties, including cease and desist orders, prohibition orders,
civil money penalties, termination of insurance and the imposition of
operating restrictions and capital plan requirements. These enforcement
actions, in general, may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations
and unsafe or unsound practices. FIRREA granted the FDIC back-up enforcement
authority to recommend enforcement action to an appropriate federal banking
agency and to bring such enforcement action against a financial institution
or an institution-affiliated party if such federal banking agency fails to
follow the FDIC's recommendation. FIRREA also requires, except under certain
circumstances, public disclosure of final enforcement actions by the federal
banking agencies.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991. The
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") was
adopted to recapitalize the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and impose certain
supervisory and regulatory reforms on insured depository institutions.
FDICIA, in general, includes provisions, among others, to (i) increase the
FDIC's line of credit with the U.S. Treasury in order to provide the FDIC
with additional funds to cover the losses of federally insured banks,
(ii) reform the deposit insurance system, including the implementation of
risk-based deposit insurance premiums, (iii) establish a format for closer
monitoring of financial institutions to enable prompt corrective action by
banking regulators when a financial institution begins to experience
financial difficulty, (iv) establish five capital levels for financial
institutions ("well capitalized," "adequately capitalized,"
"undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" and "critically
undercapitalized") that would impose more scrutiny and restrictions on less
capitalized institutions,

6
7
(v) require the banking regulators to set operational and managerial
standards for all insured depository institutions and their holding
companies, including limits on excessive compensation to executive officers,
directors, employees and principal shareholders, and establish standards for
loans secured by real estate, (vi) adopt certain accounting reforms and
require annual on-site examinations of federally insured institutions,
including the ability to require independent audits of banks and thrifts,
(vii) revise risk-based capital standards to ensure that they (a) take
adequate account of interest-rate changes, concentration of credit risk and
the risks of nontraditional activities, and (b) reflect the actual
performance and expected risk of loss of multi-family mortgages, and
(viii) restrict state-chartered banks from engaging in activities not
permitted for national banks unless they are adequately capitalized and have
FDIC approval. FDICIA also permits the FDIC to make special assessments on
insured depository institutions, in amounts determined by the FDIC to be
necessary to give it adequate assessment income to repay amounts borrowed
from the U.S. Treasury and other sources or for any other purpose the FDIC
deems necessary and grants authority to the FDIC to establish semiannual
assessment rates on BIF and SAIF member banks so as to maintain these funds
at the designated reserve ratios.

FDICIA also contained the Truth in Savings Act, which requires clear
and uniform disclosure of the rates of interest payable on deposit accounts
by depository institutions, and the fees assessable against deposit accounts,
so that consumers can make a meaningful comparison between the competing
claims of financial institutions with regard to deposit accounts and
products.

Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994.
Congress enacted the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency
Act of 1994 (the "Interstate Act") in September 1994. Beginning in September
1995, bank holding companies have the right to expand, by acquiring existing
banks, into all states, even those which had theretofore restricted entry.
The legislation also provides that, subject to future action by individual
states, a holding company will have the right, commencing in June, 1997 (or
sooner, if the states in question "opt in" prior to June, 1997), to convert
the banks which its owns in different states to branches of a single bank. A
state is permitted to "opt out" of the law which will permit conversion of
separate banks to branches, but is not permitted to "opt out" of the law
allowing bank holding companies from other states to enter the state. A
state may also determine, at its option, to permit interstate branching
through the establishment of de novo branches by out-of-state banks. The
states of Indiana and Michigan have "opted in" early to the interstate
branching provisions of the Interstate Act and have also authorized the
establishment of de novo branches of out-of-state banks. The Bank
established two such branches in Michigan during 1996. The Interstate Act
also establishes limits on acquisitions by large banking organizations,
providing that no acquisition may be undertaken if it would result in the
organization having deposits exceeding either 10% of all bank deposits in the
United States or 30% of the bank deposits in the state in which the
acquisition would occur.

Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996. The
Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 (the "EGRPRA")
was signed into law on September 30, 1996. EGRPRA streamlined the
non-banking activities application process for well-capitalized and
well-managed bank holding companies. Under EGRPRA, qualified bank holding
companies may commence a regulatorily approved non-banking activity without
prior notice to the Federal Reserve; written notice is required within 10
days after commencing the activity. Under EGRPRA, the prior notice period
is reduced to 12 days in the event of any non-banking acquisition or share
purchase, assuming the size of the acquisition does not exceed 10% of
risk-weighted assets of the acquiring bank holding company and the
consideration does not exceed 15% of Tier 1 capital.

7
8

EGRPRA also provides for the recapitalization of the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which generally insures the deposits of
thrift institutions, in order to bring it into parity with the BIF. As a
result of this recapitalization, the overall FDIC assessment rate for 1997
for the Bank is 1.29 basis points for each $100 of BIF assessable deposits.

Pending Legislation. Because of concerns relating to competitiveness
and the safety and soundness of the banking industry, Congress is considering
a number of wide-ranging proposals for altering the structure, regulation and
competitive relationships of the nation's financial institutions. Among such
bills are new proposals to merge the BIF and the SAIF insurance funds, to
alter the statutory separation of commercial and investment banking and to
further expand the powers of banks, bank holding companies and competitors of
banks. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any of these proposals
will be adopted or the extent to which the business of the Company may be
affected thereby.

BANK AND BANK HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION. As noted above, both
the Company and the Bank are subject to extensive regulation and supervision.

Bank Holding Company Act. Under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956,
as amended (the "BHCA"), the activities of a bank holding company, such as
the Company, are limited to business so closely related to banking, managing
or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. The Company is also
subject to capital requirements applied on a consolidated basis in a form
substantially similar to those required of the Bank. The BHCA also requires
a bank holding company to obtain approval from the Federal Reserve before
(i) acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any voting
shares of another bank or bank holding company if, after such acquisition, it
would own or control more than 5% of such shares (unless it already owns or
controls the majority of such shares), (ii) acquiring all or substantially
all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company, or (iii) merging
or consolidating with another bank holding company. The Federal Reserve will
not approve any acquisition, merger or consolidation that would have a
substantially anticompetitive result, unless the anticompetitive effects of
the proposed transaction are clearly outweighed by a greater public interest
in meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be served. The
Federal Reserve also considers capital adequacy and other financial and
managerial factors in reviewing acquisitions or mergers.

The BHCA also prohibits a bank holding company, with certain limited
exceptions, (i) from acquiring or retaining direct or indirect ownership or
control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a
bank or bank holding company, or (ii) from engaging directly or indirectly in
activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or
providing services for its subsidiaries. The principal exceptions to these
prohibitions involve certain non-bank activities which, by statute or by
Federal Reserve regulation or order, have been identified as activities
closely related to the business of banking or of managing or controlling
banks. The Federal Reserve, in making such determination, considers whether
the performance of such activities by a bank holding company can be expected
to produce benefits to the public such as greater convenience, increased
competition or gains in efficiency in resources, which can be expected to
outweigh the risks of possible adverse effects such as decreased or unfair
competition, conflicts of interest or unsound banking practices.

Insurance of Accounts. The FDIC provides insurance, through the BIF,
to deposit accounts at the Bank to a maximum of $100,000 for each insured
depositor. On January 1, 1996, the FDIC adopted an amendment to its BIF
risk-based assessment schedule which effectively eliminated deposit insurance
assessments for most commercial banks and other depository institutions with
deposits insured by the BIF only. Following enactment of EGRPRA, the overall
assessment rate for 1997 for institutions in the

8
9
lowest risk-based premium category was revised to equal 1.29 cents for each
$100 of BIF-assessable deposits. Deposits insured by the SAIF continue to
be assessed at a higher rate. At this time, the deposit insurance
assessment rate for institutions in the lowest risk-based premium category
is zero, and all of the assessments paid by institutions in this category
are used to service debt issued by the Financing Corporation, a federal
agency established to finance the recapitalization of the former Federal
Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation.

Regulations Governing Capital Adequacy. The federal bank regulatory
agencies use capital adequacy guidelines in their examination and regulation
of bank holding companies and banks. If the capital falls below the minimum
levels established by these guidelines, the bank holding company or bank may
be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or nonbank
businesses or to open facilities.

The Federal Reserve and the FDIC adopted risk-based capital guidelines
for banks and bank holding companies that are designed to make regulatory
capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profile among
banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposure
and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and
off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with
appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a
percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. Under
these guidelines, all bank holding companies and federally regulated banks
must maintain a minimum risk-based total capital ratio equal to 8%, of which
at least one-half must be Tier 1 capital.

The Federal Reserve also has implemented a leverage ratio, which is
Tier 1 capital to total assets, to be used as a supplement to the risk-based
guidelines. The principal objective of the leverage ratio is to place a
constraint on the maximum degree to which a bank holding company may leverage
its equity capital base. The Federal Reserve requires a minimum leverage
ratio of 3%. For all but the most highly-rated bank holding companies and
for bank holding companies seeking to expand, however, the Federal Reserve
expects that additional capital sufficient to increase the ratio by at least
100 to 200 basis points will be maintained.

Management of the Company believes that the risk-weighting of assets
and the risk-based capital guidelines do not have a material adverse impact
on the Company's operations or on the operations of the Bank.

Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977
requires that, in connection with examinations of financial institutions
within their jurisdiction, the federal banking regulators must evaluate the
record of the financial institutions in meeting the credit needs of their
local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods,
consistent with the safe and sound operation of those banks. These factors
are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to
open a branch or facility.

Regulations Governing Extensions of Credit. The Bank is subject to
certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of
credit to the bank holding company or its subsidiaries, or investments in
their securities and on the use of their securities as collateral for loans
to any borrowers. These regulations and restrictions may limit the ability
of the Company to obtain funds from the Bank for its cash needs, including
funds for acquisitions and for payment of dividends, interest and operating
expenses. Further, under the BHCA and certain regulations of the Federal
Reserve, a bank holding

9
10
company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tying
arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of
property or furnishing of services.

The Bank is also subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal
Reserve Act on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors,
principal shareholders or any related interest of such persons. Extensions
of credit (i) must be made on substantially the same terms, including
interest-rates and collateral as, and following credit underwriting
procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with persons not covered above and who are not
employees, and (ii) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment
or present other unfavorable features. The Bank is also subject to certain
lending limits and restrictions on overdrafts to such persons.

Reserve Requirements. The Federal Reserve requires all depository
institutions to maintain reserves against their transaction accounts and
non-personal time deposits. Reserves of 3% must be maintained against total
transaction accounts of $49.3 million or less (subject to adjustment by the
Federal Reserve) and an initial reserve of $1,479,000 plus 10% (subject to
adjustment by the Federal Reserve to a level between 8% and 14%) must be
maintained against that portion of total transaction accounts in excess of
such amount. The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements
imposed by the Federal Reserve may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements.

Dividends. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends and management
fees is limited by various state and federal laws, by the regulations
promulgated by its primary regulators and by the principles of prudent bank
management.

Monetary Policy and Economic Control. The commercial banking business
in which the Company engages is affected not only by general economic
conditions, but also by the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve.
Changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowing, availability of
borrowing at the "discount window," open market operations, the imposition of
changes in reserve requirements against member banks deposits and assets of
foreign branches, and the imposition of and changes in reserve requirements
against certain borrowings by banks and their affiliates are some of the
instruments of monetary policy available to the Federal Reserve. These
monetary policies are used in varying combinations to influence overall
growth and distributions of bank loans, investments and deposits, and such
use may affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits. The
monetary policies of the Federal Reserve have had a significant effect on the
operating results of commercial banks and are expected to do so in the
future. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve are influenced by
various factors, including inflation, unemployment, short-term and long-term
changes in the international trade balance and in the fiscal policies of the
U.S. Government. Future monetary policies and the effect of such policies on
the future business and earnings of the Company and the Bank cannot be
predicted.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this Report and in future filings by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press
releases and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized
executive officer which are not historical or current facts are
"forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). There can be no assurance, in light of
these risks and uncertainties, that such forward-looking statements will in
fact transpire. The following important factors, risks and

10
11
uncertainties, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially
from such forward-looking statements:

* Credit risk: While the Company has had excellent credit quality
in recent years, approximately 62% of its loans at December 31,
1996 were in commercial, financial, agricultural and
transportation and equipment loans. Changes in local economic
conditions could adversely affect credit quality in the
Company's local business loan portfolio, while national
regulatory or economic condition changes could negatively
impact the quality of the transportation and equipment
portfolio.

* Interest rate risk: Although the Company actively manages its
interest rate sensitivity, such management is not an exact
science. Rapid increases or decreases in interest rates could
adversely impact the Company's net interest margin if changes
in its cost of funds do not correspond to the changes in
income yields. Such fluctuations could also negatively impact
the Company's mortgage banking operations, which are very
interest rate sensitive, by increasing the runoff rates in the
servicing portfolio, reducing loan origination activities, or
increasing its funding costs.

* Competition: The Company's activities in both its local and
national niche businesses involve competition with other banks
as well as other financial institutions and enterprises. Also,
the financial service markets have and likely will continue to
experience substantial changes, which could significantly
change the Company's competitive environment in the future.

* Retail expansion: The Company's planned future growth includes
an emphasis on retail expansion, both with the ten new branches
opened in 1996 and those to be opened in 1997 and beyond. This
expansion has and will continue to increase the Company's
operating costs. The Company needs to achieve the revenue
growth anticipated from this expansion in order to maintain its
efficiency and profitability trends in future years.

* Legislative and regulatory environment: The Company operates in
a rapidly changing legislative and regulatory environment. It
cannot be predicted how or to what extent future developments
in these areas will affect the Company. These developments
could negatively impact the Company through increased operating
expenses for compliance with new laws and regulations,
restricted access to new products and markets, or in other
ways.

* General business and economic trends: These factors, including
the impact of inflation levels, influence the Company's results
in numerous ways, including operating expense levels, deposit
and loan activity, and availability of trained individuals
needed for future growth.

The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive and the Company
disclaims any obligation to subsequently update or revise any forward-looking
statements after the date of this Report.

The Company's reserve for loan losses is provided for by direct charges to
operations. Losses on loans are charged against the reserve and likewise,
recoveries during the period for prior losses are credited to the reserve.
The loss reserve is maintained at a level considered by management to be
adequate to absorb possible losses from loans presently outstanding. The
provision made to this reserve is determined by management based on
assessment of the risk factors affecting the loan portfolio, including
general economic conditions, changes in the portfolio mix, past loan loss
experience and the financial condition of the borrower. Management of the
Company is constantly reviewing the status of the loan portfolio to identify
borrowers that might develop financial problems, in order to aid borrowers in
the handling of their accounts and to prevent sizable unexpected losses.

In 1996, after management's assessment of loan quality, the Company made a
charge of $4,649,000 to operations as a provision for loan losses. At
December 31, 1996, the reserve for loan losses was $29,516,000, or 2.03% of
loans outstanding net of unearned discount. Effective January 1, 1995, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by SFAS No.
118. Under the new standard, a loan is considered impaired, based on current
information and events, if it is probable that the Company will be unable to
collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to
the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of impaired
loans is generally based on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the historical effective interest rate, except that all
collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair
value of the collateral. The adoption of SFAS No. 114 had no impact on the
1996 provision for loan losses as reported.

As of December 31, 1996, impaired loans totaled $8,130,000, of which
$5,780,000 had corresponding specific reserves for loan losses totaling
$1,520,000. The remaining $2,350,000 of impaired loans had no specific
reserves for loan losses associated with them. The vast majority of the
impaired loans are nonaccrual loans; interest is not recognized on nonaccrual
loans subsequent to the date the loan is placed in nonaccrual status.
Interest on the remainder of the impaired loans is recognized on an accrual
basis. For 1996, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was
$9,410,000 and interest income recognized on impaired loans totaled $464,000.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

1st Source's headquarters building is located in downtown South Bend. In
1982, the land was leased from the City of South Bend on a 49-year lease,
with a 50-year renewal option. The building is part of a larger complex,
including a 300-room hotel and a 500-car parking garage. 1st Source sold the
building and entered into a leaseback agreement with the purchaser for a term
of 30 years. The bank building is a structure of approximately 160,000
square feet, with 1st Source and its subsidiaries occupying approximately 70%
of the available office space, and approximately 30% presently subleased to
unrelated tenants.

The Company also owns property and buildings on which 27 of the bank
subsidiary's 42 banking offices are located, including the facilities in
Marshall, Elkhart, LaPorte, Porter, and Starke Counties in the state of
Indiana, as well as a parking facility, two buildings housing drive-in
banking plazas and a computer operations center. In 1995, the Company
reacquired its former headquarters building through foreclosure. It is being
refurbished for additional tenants and Company use. The remaining properties
utilized by the banking subsidiary are leased from unrelated parties.
