PART I

Item 1. Business

General

The Company. Ameriana Bancorp (the “Company”) is an Indiana chartered bank holding company subject to regulation and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “BHCA”). The Company became the holding company for Ameriana Bank (the “Bank”) in 1990. The Company also holds a minority interest in a limited partnership organized to acquire and manage real estate investments, which qualify for federal tax credits. References to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Ameriana Bancorp and/or the Bank, as appropriate.

The Bank. The Bank began operations in 1890. Since 1935, the Bank has been a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (the “FHLB”) System. Its deposits are insured to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund, administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). On June 29, 2002, the Bank converted to an Indiana savings bank and adopted the name “Ameriana Bank and Trust, SB. On July 31, 2006, the Bank closed its Trust Department and adopted the name “Ameriana Bank, SB.” On June 1, 2009, the Bank converted its charter from an Indiana savings bank to an Indiana commercial bank and adopted its present name, “Ameriana Bank.” The charter conversion did not involve significant financial or regulatory changes and has not affected the Bank’s activities. The Bank is subject to regulation by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”) and the FDIC. The Bank conducts business through its main office at 2118 Bundy Avenue, New Castle, Indiana and through twelve branch offices located in New Castle, Middletown, Knightstown, Morristown, Greenfield, Anderson, Avon, McCordsville, Carmel, Fishers, Westfield and New Palestine, Indiana and a loan production office in Carmel, Indiana. The Bank offers a wide range of consumer and commercial banking services, including: (1) accepting deposits; (2) originating commercial, mortgage, consumer and construction loans; and (3) through its subsidiaries, providing investment and brokerage services and insurance services.

The Bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ameriana Insurance Agency (“AIA”) and Ameriana Financial Services, Inc. (“AFS”). AIA provides insurance sales from offices in New Castle, Greenfield and Avon, Indiana. AFS operates a brokerage facility in conjunction with LPL Financial. A third wholly-owned subsidiary, Ameriana Investment Management, Inc. (“AIMI”), had been responsible for managing investment securities for the Bank. AIMI was liquidated by the Bank effective December 31, 2009, and the investment securities were merged into the Bank.

The principal sources of funds for the Bank’s lending activities include deposits received from the general public, funds borrowed from the FHLB of Indianapolis, principal amortization and prepayment of loans. The Bank’s primary sources of income are interest and fees on loans and interest on investments. The Bank has from time to time purchased loans and loan participations in the secondary market. The Bank also invests in various federal and government agency obligations and other investment securities permitted by applicable laws and regulations, including mortgage-backed, municipal and mutual fund securities. The Bank’s principal expenses are interest paid on deposit accounts and borrowed funds and operating expenses.

Competition. The geographic markets we serve are highly competitive for deposits, loans and other financial services, including retail brokerage services and insurance. Our direct competitors include traditional banking and savings institutions, as well as other non-bank providers of financial services, such as insurance companies, brokerage firms, mortgage companies and credit unions located in the Bank’s market area. Additional significant competition for deposits comes from money market mutual funds and corporate and government debt securities, and internet banks.

The primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates and loan origination fees, and the range of services offered by the various financial institutions. Competition for origination of loans normally comes from commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage bankers, mortgage brokers and insurance companies.

The Bank has banking offices in Henry, Hancock, Hendricks, Shelby, Madison, and Hamilton Counties in Indiana. The Bank competes with several commercial banks and savings institutions in the Bank’s primary service area and in surrounding counties, many of which have capital and assets that are substantially larger than the Bank.

The Company expects competition to increase in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. Technological advances, for example, have lowered barriers to entry into the industry, allowed banks to expand their geographic reach by providing services over the Internet and made it possible for non-depository institutions to offer products and services that traditionally have been provided by banks. Changes in federal law permit affiliation among banks, securities firms and insurance companies, which promotes a competitive environment in the financial services industry. Competition for deposits and the origination of loans could limit the Company’s growth in the future.

Lending Activities

General. The principal lending activity of the Bank has been the origination of conventional first mortgage loans secured by residential property and commercial real estate, and commercial loans and consumer loans. The residential mortgage loans have been predominantly secured by single-family homes and have included construction loans.

The Bank may originate or purchase whole loans or loan participations secured by real estate located in any part of the United States. Notwithstanding this nationwide lending authority, the majority of the Bank’s mortgage loan portfolio is secured by real estate located in Henry, Hancock, Hamilton, Hendricks, Madison, Shelby, Delaware and Marion counties in Indiana.

The following table sets forth information concerning the Bank’s loans by type of loan at the dates indicated.

The following table shows, at December 31, 2010, the Bank’s loans based on their contractual terms to maturity. Demand loans, loans having no stated schedule of repayments and no stated maturity and overdrafts are reported as due in one year or less. Contractual principal repayments of loans do not necessarily reflect the actual term of the loan portfolio. The average life of mortgage loans is substantially less than their contractual terms because of loan prepayments and because of enforcement of due-on-sale clauses, which give the Bank the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable if, among other things, the borrower sells the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid. The average life of mortgage loans tends to increase, however, when current mortgage loan rates substantially exceed rates on existing mortgage loans.

Residential Real Estate and Residential Construction Lending. The Bank originates loans on one-to four-family residences. The original contractual loan payment period for residential mortgage loans originated by the Bank generally ranges from ten to 30 years. Because borrowers may refinance or prepay their loans, they normally remain outstanding for a shorter period. The Bank normally sells a portion of its newly originated fixed-rate mortgage loans in the secondary market and retains all adjustable-rate loans in its portfolio. The decision to sell fixed-rate mortgage loans is determined by management based on available pricing and balance sheet considerations. The Bank also originates hybrid mortgage loans. Hybrid mortgage loans carry a fixed-rate for the first three to ten years, and then convert to an adjustable-rate thereafter. The residential mortgage loans originated and retained by the Bank in 2010 were composed primarily of fixed-rate loans and, to a lesser extent, hybrid loans that have a fixed-rate for five or seven years and adjust annually to the one-year constant maturity treasury rate thereafter. The overall strategy is to maintain a low risk mortgage portfolio that helps to diversify the Bank’s overall asset mix.

The Bank makes construction/permanent loans to borrowers to build one-to four-family owner-occupied residences with terms of up to 30 years. These loans are made as interest-only loans for a period typically of 12 months, at which time the loan converts to an amortized loan for the remaining term. The loans are made typically as adjustable-rate mortgages, which may be converted to a fixed-rate loan for sale in the secondary market at the request of the borrower if secondary market guidelines have been met. Residential real estate construction loans were $2.3 million, or 8.6% of the construction loan portfolio at December 31, 2010 compared to $7.9 million, or 25.7% at December 31, 2009.

Loans involving construction financing present a greater level of risk than loans for the purchase of existing homes since collateral value and construction costs can only be estimated at the time the loan is approved. The Bank has sought to minimize this risk by limiting construction lending to qualified borrowers in its market area and by limiting the number of construction loans outstanding at any time to individual builders. In addition, many of the Bank’s construction loans are made on homes that are pre-sold, for which permanent financing is already arranged.

Home equity lines of credit have adjustable rates of interest that are indexed to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal for terms of up to 10 years. The loans are originated with a total maximum loan-to-value ratio of 85% (including the first mortgage) of the appraised value of the property, and the Bank requires that it has a second lien position on the property.

In 2010, the Bank originated $50.0 million in residential real estate loans, including home equity loans. The total included $5.4 million in adjustable-rate residential first mortgage loans, including hybrids, $37.1 million of fixed-rate first mortgage loans, $6.7 million of home equity credit lines and $792,000 of closed end second mortgage loans. Sales of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans into the secondary market in 2010 and 2009 were $17.0 million and $19.2 million, respectively. Gains on residential loan sales, including imputed gains on servicing rights, were $923,000 in 2010 compared with $408,000 in 2009. $560,000 of the 2010 gains resulted from a bulk sale of $10.9 million of seasoned loans.

Commercial Real Estate and Commercial Real Estate Construction Lending. The Bank originates loans secured by both owner-occupied and nonowner-occupied properties. The Bank originates commercial real estate loans and purchases loan participations from other financial institutions. These participations are reviewed and approved based upon the same credit standards as commercial real estate loans originated by the Bank. At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s individual commercial real estate loan balances ranged from $4,000 to $5.1 million. The Bank’s commercial real estate loans may have a fixed or variable interest rate.

Loans secured by commercial real estate properties are generally larger and involve a greater degree of credit risk than one-to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or by general economic conditions. If the cash flows from the project are reduced (for example, if leases are not obtained or renewed), the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. To minimize the risks involved in originating such loans, the Bank considers, among other things, the creditworthiness of the borrower, the location of the real estate, the condition and occupancy levels of the security, the projected cash flows of the business, the borrower’s ability to service the debt and the quality of the organization managing the property.

Commercial real estate construction loans are made to developers for the construction of commercial properties, owner-occupied facilities, nonowner-occupied facilities and for speculative purposes. These construction loans are granted based on a reasonable estimate of the time to complete the projects. Commercial real estate construction loans made up $24.5 million, or 91.4% of the construction loan portfolio at December 31, 2010 compared to $23.0 million, or 74.3% at December 31, 2009. As these loans mature they will either pay-off or roll to a permanent commercial real estate loan.

The Bank’s underwriting criteria are designed to evaluate and minimize the risks of each construction loan. Among other things, the Bank considers evidence of the availability of permanent financing or a takeout commitment to the borrower; the reputation of the borrower and his or her financial condition; the amount of the borrower’s equity in the project; independent appraisal and review of cost estimates; pre-construction sale and leasing information; and cash flow projections of the borrower.

At December 31, 2010, the largest commercial real estate lending relationship was a credit secured by commercial office space, with an original commitment of $5.8 million and a current commitment of $5.1 million, and an outstanding balance of $5.1 million. This credit was performing according to its original terms at December 31, 2010.

Municipal Lending. At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s loan portfolio included four municipal loans with approved credit limits totaling $4.4million and outstanding balances totaling $2.7 million. The largest loan had a credit limit of $3.2 million and had an outstanding balance of $2.0 million at December 31, 2010. This loan has a fixed-rate of interest, is non-amortizing, and has a maturity date in 2012. This loan was performing according to its original terms at December 31, 2010.

Consumer Lending. The consumer lending portfolio includes automobile loans and other consumer products. The collateral is generally the asset defined in the purpose of the request. The policies of the Bank are adhered to in our underwriting of consumer loans.

Management believes that the shorter terms and the normally higher interest rates available on various types of consumer loans have been helpful in maintaining profitable spreads between average loan yields and costs of funds. Consumer loans may entail greater risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or secured by assets that depreciate rapidly. In such cases, repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment for the outstanding loan and the remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In addition, consumer loan collections depend on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and therefore, are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount that can be recovered on such loans. The Bank has sought to reduce this risk by primarily granting secured consumer loans.

Commercial Lending. The Bank lends to business entities for the short-term working capital, inventory financing, equipment purchases and other business financing needs. The loans can be in the form of revolving lines of credit, commercial lines of credit or term debt. The Bank also matches the term of the debt to the estimated useful life of the assets.

At December 31, 2010, the largest commercial relationship included seven credits with total commitments of $4.5 million and outstanding balances totaling $4.5 million that were secured by all business assets of the borrower. All of the individual credits were performing according to their original terms at December 31, 2010.

Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property the value of which tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flows of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing such loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value.

Originations, Purchases and Sales. Historically, most residential and commercial real estate loans have been originated directly by the Bank through salaried and commissioned loan officers. Residential loan originations have been attributable to referrals from real estate brokers and builders, banking center staff, and commissioned loan agents. In prior years, the Bank had also purchased residential and commercial loans from other financial institutions, but did not purchase any loans in 2010. At December 31, 2010, balances outstanding for all loans acquired as participations or whole loan purchases totaled $21.0 million. Commercial real estate and construction loan originations have also been obtained by direct solicitation. Consumer loan originations are attributable to walk-in customers who have been made aware of the Bank’s programs by advertising as well as direct solicitation.

The Bank has previously sold whole loans and loan participations to other financial institutions and institutional investors, and sold $27.9 million of loans in 2010, including $10.9 million of seasoned performing single-family mortgage loans. Sales of loans generate income (or loss) at the time of sale, produce future servicing income and provide funds for additional lending and other purposes. When the Bank retains the servicing of loans it sells, the Bank retains responsibility for collecting and remitting loan payments, inspecting the properties, making certain insurance and tax payments on behalf of borrowers and otherwise servicing those loans. The Bank typically receives a fee of between 0.25% and 0.375% per annum of the loan’s principal amount for performing these services. The right to service a loan has economic value and the Bank carries capitalized servicing rights on its books based on comparable market values and expected cash flows. At December 31, 2010, the Bank was servicing $115.9 million of loans for others. The aggregate book value of capitalized servicing rights at December 31, 2010, net of a $19,000 valuation allowance, was $689,000.

Management believes that purchases of loans and loan participations are desirable when local mortgage demand is less than the local supply of funds available for mortgage originations or when loan terms available outside the Bank’s local lending areas are favorable to those available locally. Additionally, purchases of loans may be made to diversify the Bank’s lending portfolio. The Bank’s loan purchasing activities fluctuate significantly. The seller generally performs the servicing of purchased loans. The Bank utilizes the same underwriting and monitoring processes and standards for loans it purchases as it would for internally generated loans. To cover servicing costs, the service provider retains a portion of the interest being paid by the borrower. In addition to whole loan purchases, the Bank also purchases participation interests in loans. Both whole loans and participations are purchased on a yield basis.

For additional information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 7 of this Form 10-K.

Loan Underwriting. During the loan approval process, the Bank assesses both the borrower’s ability to repay the loan and the adequacy of the underlying security. Potential residential borrowers complete an application that is submitted to a commissioned loan originator. As part of the loan application process, the Bank obtains information concerning the income, financial condition, employment and credit history of the applicant. In addition, qualified appraisers inspect and appraise the property that is offered to secure the loan. The Bank’s underwriter or the Senior Vice President of Mortgage Banking approves or denies the loan request.

Consumer loan applications are evaluated using a multi-factor based scoring system or by direct underwriting.

Commercial loans that are part of a lending relationship exceeding $250,000 are submitted to the Bank’s credit analysts for review, financial analysis and for preparation of a Loan Approval Memorandum. The Loan Committee, consisting of members of the Board or management appointed by the Board of Directors, must approve secured and unsecured loans between $1.0 million and $3.0 million, and $100,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. The Board of Directors approves all loans that exceed Loan Committee authority and those that have an exception to the loan policy, and the Loan Committee approves all loans that have a variance to loan procedure.

In connection with the origination of single-family, residential adjustable-rate loans with the initial rate fixed for three years or less, borrowers are qualified at a rate of interest equal to the new rate at the first re-pricing date, assuming the maximum increase. It is the policy of management to make loans to borrowers who not only qualify at the low initial rate of interest, but who would also qualify following an upward interest rate adjustment.

Loan Fee and Servicing Income. In addition to interest earned on loans, the Bank receives income through servicing of loans, and fees in connection with loan originations, loan modifications, late payments, changes of property ownership and for other miscellaneous services related to the loan. Income from these activities is volatile and varies from period to period with the volume and type of loans made.

When possible, the Bank charges loan origination fees on commercial loans that are calculated as a percentage of the amount borrowed and are charged to the borrower at the time of origination of the loan. These fees generally range up to one point (one point being equivalent to 1% of the principal amount of the loan). In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 310, loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the related loans.

Delinquencies. When a borrower defaults on a required payment on a non-commercial loan, the Bank contacts the borrower and attempts to induce the borrower to cure the default. A late payment notice is mailed to the borrower and a telephone contact is made after a payment is fifteen days past due. If the delinquency on a mortgage loan exceeds 90 days and is not cured through the Bank’s normal collection procedures or an acceptable arrangement is not worked out with the borrower, the Bank will institute measures to remedy the default, including commencing foreclosure action. In the case of default related to a commercial loan, the contact is initiated by the commercial lender after a payment is ten days past due. The Loan Committee reviews delinquency reports weekly and the Criticized Assets Committee reviews classified delinquent loans monthly.

The Bank follows the collection processes required by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis to manage residential loans underwritten for the secondary market. The collection practices for all other loans adhere with the Bank’s loan policies and regulatory requirements. It is the Bank’s intention to be proactive in its collection of delinquent accounts while adhering to state and federal guidelines.

Nonperforming Assets and Asset Classification. Loans are reviewed regularly and are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is doubtful. Residential mortgage loans are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest payments are 90 days or more past due unless it is adequately secured and there is reasonable assurance of full collection of principal and interest. Consumer loans generally are charged off when the loan delinquency exceeds 120 days. Commercial real estate loans and commercial loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the loan is 90 days or more past due. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is charged against interest income. Subsequent payments are applied to the outstanding principal balance.

Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold. When such property is acquired, it is recorded at its fair value. Any subsequent deterioration of the property is charged off directly to income, reducing the value of the asset.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the Company’s aggregate nonperforming assets at the dates indicated.

(1)	Total nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2010 included $2.2 million of troubled debt restructurings, all of which were constructions loans.

(2)	Other nonperforming assets represent property acquired through foreclosure or repossession. This property is carried at the lower of its fair market value or the principal balance of the related loan.

The Company’s nonperforming loans increased by $2.2 million in 2010. The increase was primarily due to four credits totaling $4.0 million that included a $1.3 million commercial development loan, a $1.1 million residential condominium construction loan, and two loans totaling $1.6 million on section 42 low income housing tax credit properties. Nonaccrual residential real estate loans increased to $6.3 million at December 31, 2010 from $3.8 million at December 31, 2009 due to continued weakness in the economy and value of the real estate in the markets that we serve. We have analyzed our collateral position on these nonperforming loans using current appraisals and valuations, and have established reserves accordingly. Nonperforming loans increased by $2.8 million in 2009. The increase was primarily due to the classifications of a retail center loan in Fishers, Indiana and a warehouse/office building and adjoining commercial land loan in Indianapolis totaling $3.5 million and an increase in our single-family residential nonperforming loans.

Troubled debt restructurings increased from $268,000 at December 31, 2009 to $8.4 million at December 31, 2010. This increase was primarily a result of continuing weak economic conditions and the Bank’s proactive efforts in instituting workout programs that maintain the borrower’s ability to generate cash flows sufficient to pay on a modified basis, and also project the ability to ultimately repay the entire debt under an improved business environment. The total of $8.4 million at December 31, 2010 included a $4.5 million loan on a hotel in northern Indiana, three land development credits totaling $1.5 million, a $1.2 million loan on a residential condominium project, and nine single-family loans totaling $1.2 million. As of December 31, 2010, the Bank had classified the hotel credit, one land development credit and the nine single-family loans totaling $6.2 million as substandard, and had classified the residential condominium project and the other two land development loans totaling $2.2 million as nonaccrual. Total troubled debt restructurings of $268,000 on December 31, 2009 consisted of seven single-family loans, and were all classified substandard.

Interest income that would have been recorded for 2010 had nonaccruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms and had been outstanding throughout the period was $1.2 million. The amount of interest related to nonaccrual loans included in interest income for 2010 was $513,000, of which $415,000 was paid by borrowers when the loans were not in a nonaccrual status.

For additional information regarding the Bank’s problem assets and loss provisions recorded thereon, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 of this Form 10-K.

Reserves for Losses on Loans and Real Estate

In making loans, management recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and, in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the security for the loan.

It is management’s policy to maintain reserves for estimated incurred losses on loans. The Bank’s management establishes general loan loss reserves based on, among other things, historical loan loss experience, evaluation of economic conditions in general and in various sectors of the Bank’s customer base, and periodic reviews of loan portfolio quality. Specific reserves are provided for individual loans where the ultimate collection is considered questionable by management after reviewing the current status of loans that are contractually past due and considering the net realizable value of the security of the loan or guarantees, if applicable. It is management’s policy to establish specific reserves for estimated inherent losses on delinquent loans when it determines that losses are anticipated to be incurred on the underlying properties. At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s allowance for loan losses amounted to $4.2 million. Although there was a significant increase in nonperforming loans in the Bank’s loan portfolio during 2010 due primarily to the continuing weak economy, as a result of our review of collateral positions and historic loss ratios, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover all incurred and probable losses inherent in the portfolio at December 31, 2010.

Future reserves may be necessary if economic conditions or other circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. Regulators, in reviewing the Bank’s loan portfolio, may require the Bank to increase its allowance for loan losses, thereby negatively affecting its financial condition and earnings.

The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank’s aggregate allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

Allowance for loan losses to loans		1.33	%		1.23	%		0.92	%		0.90	%		1.04	%

The Company had a provision for loan losses of $1.9 million for 2010 compared to a provision of $2.2 million in 2009. Although net charge-offs for 2010 exceeded the total for 2009 and nonperforming loans at December 31, 2010 exceeded the total at December 31, 2009, the provision decreased in 2010. The amount of provision necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans at a level required pursuant to the Company’s methodology was less in 2010, due to a larger provision in 2009 to increase the allowance for loan losses to an amount commensurate with the Company’s level of credit risk at that time. The Company recorded a provision of $2.2 million in 2009, which increased the allowance as a percentage of total loans by 31 basis points to 1.23% at December 31, 2009 from 0.92% at December 31, 2008. The Company recorded a provision of $1.9 million in 2010, which increased the allowance as a percentage of total loans by 10 basis points from 1.23% at December 31, 2009 to 1.33% at December 31, 2010. The 2010 provision was primarily due to a continuing elevated level of charge-offs and non-performing loans. Total charge-offs were $2.0 million for 2010, which included partial charge-offs of the following credits, all in the Indianapolis market: $338,000 related to a high-end single family home, $216,000 related to one investor’s four residential rental properties, $180,000 securing business assets of a flooring retailer, $160,000 related to a strip retail center and adjacent lots, and $158,000 related to a loan for a multi-use commercial building. These charge-offs resulted from further deterioration of general economic conditions that occurred in 2010 as reflected by new appraisals or new valuations. The 2009 provision was primarily a result of the increase in nonperforming loans due to increasing pressure of current economic conditions on credit quality and continued charge-offs. Total charge-offs of $1.2 million for 2009 included the charge-off of $461,000 on one development loan for single-family building lots, a partial charge-off of $176,000 on a single-family residential subdivision development loan, charge-offs totaling $124,000 for two commercial loans, and a $189,000 charge-off on a credit secured by both commercial real estate and business assets. See also “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Loans – Credit Quality.”

The following table sets forth a breakdown of the Company’s aggregate allowance for loan losses by loan category at the dates indicated. Management believes that the allowance can be allocated by category only on an approximate basis. The allocation of the allowance to each category is not necessarily indicative of future losses and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in any category.

Investment Activities

Interest and dividends on investment securities, mortgage-backed securities, FHLB stock and other investments provide the second largest source of income for the Bank (after interest on loans), constituting 7.6% of the Bank’s total interest income (and dividends) for 2010. The Bank maintains its liquid assets at levels believed adequate to meet requirements of normal banking activities and potential savings outflows.

As an Indiana commercial bank, the Bank is authorized to invest without limitation in direct or indirect obligations of the United States, direct obligations of a United States territory, and direct obligations of the state or a municipal corporation or taxing district in Indiana. The Bank is also permitted to invest in bonds or other securities of a national mortgage association and the stock and obligations of a Federal Home Loan Bank. Indiana commercial banks may also invest in collateralized mortgage obligations to the same extent as national banks. An Indiana commercial bank may also purchase for its own account other investment securities under such limits as the Department of Financial Institutions prescribes by rule, provided that the commercial bank may not invest more than 10% of its equity capital in the investment securities of any one issuer. An Indiana commercial bank may not invest in speculative bonds, notes or other indebtedness that are defined as securities and that are rated below the first four rating categories by a generally recognized rating service, or are in default. An Indiana commercial bank may purchase an unrated security if it obtains financial information adequate to document the investment quality of the security.

The Bank’s investment portfolio consists primarily of mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Bank has also invested in municipal securities and mutual funds and maintains interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions (primarily the FHLB of Indianapolis and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago). As a member of the FHLB System, the Bank is also required to hold stock in the FHLB of Indianapolis. The Bank did not own any security of a single issuer that had an aggregate book value in excess of 10% of its equity at December 31, 2010.

The following table sets forth the market value of the Bank’s investments in federal agency obligations, mortgage-backed securities, mutual funds, and municipal securities at the dates indicated. All of these investments were available for sale.

Sources of Funds

General. Checking and savings accounts, certificates of deposit and other types of deposits are an important source of the Bank’s funds for use in lending and for other general business purposes. In addition to deposit accounts, the Bank derives funds from loan repayments, loan sales, borrowings and operations. The availability of funds from loan sales and repayments is influenced by general interest rates and other market conditions. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in deposits or deposit inflows at less than projected levels and may be used on a longer-term basis to support expanded lending activities.

Deposits. The Bank attracts both short-term and long-term retail deposits from the general public by offering a wide assortment of deposit accounts and interest rates. The Bank offers regular savings accounts, interest-bearing (NOW) and noninterest-bearing checking accounts, money market accounts, fixed interest rate certificates with varying maturities and negotiated rate jumbo certificates with various maturities. The Bank also offers tax-deferred individual retirement, Keogh retirement and simplified employer plan retirement accounts.

As of December 31, 2010, approximately 48.9%, or $165.2 million, of the Bank’s aggregate deposits consisted of various savings and demand deposit accounts from which customers are permitted to withdraw funds at any time without penalty.

Interest earned on statement accounts is paid from the date of deposit to the date of withdrawal and compounded semi-annually for the Bank. Interest earned on NOW and money market deposit accounts is paid from the date of deposit to the date of withdrawal and compounded and credited monthly. Management establishes the interest rate on these accounts weekly.

The Bank also makes available to its depositors a number of certificates of deposit with various terms and interest rates to be competitive in its market area. These certificates have minimum deposit requirements as well.

In addition to retail deposits, the Bank may obtain certificates of deposit from the brokered market. The Bank held $10.4 million of brokered certificates with a weighted average cost of 0.74% at December 31, 2010 and none at December 31, 2009.

The following table sets forth the change in dollar amount of deposits in the various types of deposit accounts offered by the Bank between the dates indicated.

The variety of deposit accounts offered by the Bank has permitted it to be competitive in obtaining funds and has allowed it to respond with flexibility to, but not eliminate, disintermediation (the flow of funds away from depository institutions such as savings institutions into direct investment vehicles such as government and corporate securities). In addition, the Bank has become increasingly subject to short-term fluctuation in deposit flows, as customers have become more interest rate conscious. The ability of the Bank to attract and maintain deposits and its costs of funds have been, and will continue to be, significantly affected by money market conditions. The Bank currently offers a variety of deposit products, including noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing NOW accounts, savings accounts, money market deposit accounts (“MMDA”) and certificates of deposit ranging in terms from three months to seven years.

Borrowings. Deposits are the primary sources of funds for the Bank’s lending and investment activities and for its general business purposes. The Bank also uses advances from the FHLB to supplement its supply of lendable funds, to meet deposit withdrawal requirements and to extend the terms of its liabilities. FHLB advances are typically secured by the Bank’s FHLB stock, a portion of first mortgage loans, investment securities and overnight deposits. At December 31, 2010, the Bank had $34.0 million of FHLB advances outstanding.

The Federal Home Loan Banks function as central reserve banks providing credit for member financial institutions. As a member, the Bank is required to own capital stock in the FHLB and is authorized to apply for advances on the security of such stock and certain of its home mortgages and other assets (principally, securities which are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States) provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. Borrowings decreased $12.4 million in 2010, as the Bank used $10.4 million in brokered certificates of deposit an alternative wholesale funding source, and also due to the restructuring strategy initiated in the second half of 2009 and continued in 2010 that resulted in a further reduction in the size of the Bank’s balance sheet.

On March 8, 2006, the Company formed Ameriana Capital Trust I (“Trust I”), a wholly owned statutory business trust. The Company purchased 100% of the common stock of Trust I for $310,000. Trust I issued $10.0 million in trust preferred securities and those proceeds combined with the $310,000 in proceeds of the common stock were used to purchase $10.3 million in subordinated debentures issued by the Company. The subordinated debentures are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and are the sole asset of Trust I. The subordinated debentures bear a rate equal to the average of 6.71% and the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 150 basis points for the first five years following the offering. After the first five years, the subordinated debentures will bear a rate equal to 150 basis points over the three-month LIBOR rate. At December 31, 2010, the debentures had an interest rate of 4.26%.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding borrowings at the dates and for the periods indicated.

Subsidiary Activities

The Company maintains two wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank and Ameriana Capital Trust I. The Company also holds a minority interest in a limited partnership organized to acquire and manage real estate-investments, which qualify for federal tax credits. The Bank has two wholly owned subsidiaries: AIA, which sells insurance products and AFS, which operates a brokerage facility. At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s investments in its subsidiaries were approximately $820,000, consisting of direct equity investments.

Indiana commercial banks may acquire or establish subsidiaries that engage in activities permitted to be performed by the commercial bank itself, or permitted to operating subsidiaries of national banks. Under FDIC regulations, a subsidiary of a state bank may not engage as principal in any activity that is not of a type permissible for a subsidiary of a national bank unless the FDIC determines that the activity does not impose a significant risk to the affected insurance fund.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

The Company expects competition to increase in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. Technological advances, for example, have lowered barriers to entry, allowed banks to expand their geographic reach by providing services over the Internet and made it possible for non-depository institutions to offer products and services that traditionally have been provided by banks. Changes in federal law permit affiliation among banks, securities firms and insurance companies, which promotes a competitive environment in the financial services industry. Competition for deposits and the origination of loans could limit the Company’s growth in the future.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) made comprehensive changes in the regulation of financial companies. Certain of these legislative changes are addressed in the following summary of the regulation and supervision of the Company and the Bank.

Regulation and Supervision of the Company

General. The Company is a public company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), whose common stock trades on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC and is a bank holding company subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act, as amended (“BHCA”). As a result, the activities of the Company are subject to certain requirements and limitations, which are described below. As a public reporting company, the Company is required to file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. As a bank holding company, the Company is required to file annual and quarterly reports with the Federal Reserve Board and to furnish such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require pursuant to the BHCA. The Company is also subject to regular examination by the Federal Reserve Board.

Dividends. The Federal Reserve Board has the power to prohibit dividends by bank holding companies if their actions constitute unsafe or unsound practices. The Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies, which expresses the Federal Reserve Board’s view that a bank holding company should pay cash dividends only to the extent that the company’s net income for the past year is sufficient to cover both the cash dividends and a rate of earnings retention that is consistent with the company’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. The Federal Reserve Board also indicated that it would be inappropriate for a bank holding company experiencing serious financial problems to borrow funds to pay dividends. Under the prompt corrective action regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Board may prohibit a bank holding company from paying any dividends if the holding company’s bank subsidiary is classified as “undercapitalized.” See “Regulation and Supervision of the Bank – Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action.” The Federal Reserve Board has long had a policy under which bank holding companies are required to serve as a source of strength for their depository subsidiaries by providing capital, liquidity and other resources in times of financial distress. The Dodd-Frank Act codified the source of strength doctrine and required the issuance of implementing regulations.

Stock Repurchases. As a bank holding company, the Company is required to give the Federal Reserve Board prior written notice of any purchase or redemption of its outstanding equity securities if the gross consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with the net consideration paid for all such purchases or redemptions during the preceding 12 months, is equal to 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve Board may disapprove such a purchase or redemption if it determines that the proposal would violate any law, regulation, Federal Reserve Board order, directive, or any condition imposed by, or written agreement with, the Federal Reserve Board. This requirement does not apply to bank holding companies that are “well-capitalized,” “well-managed” and are not the subject of any unresolved supervisory issues.

Acquisitions. The Company is required to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board to acquire all, or substantially all, of the assets of any bank or bank holding company or merge with another bank holding company. Prior Federal Reserve Board approval will also be required for the Company to acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting securities of any bank or bank holding company if, after giving effect to such acquisition, the Company would, directly or indirectly, own or control more than 5% of any class of voting shares of such bank or bank holding company. In evaluating such transactions, the Federal Reserve Board considers such matters as the financial and managerial resources of and future prospects of the companies involved, competitive factors and the convenience and needs of the communities to be served. Bank holding companies may acquire additional banks in any state, subject to certain restrictions such as deposit concentration limits. With certain exceptions, the BHCA prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of a company that is not a bank or a bank holding company, or 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 Board regulation or order, have been identified as activities closely related to the business of banking. The activities of the Company are subject to these legal and regulatory limitations under the BHCA and the related Federal Reserve Board regulations. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 authorized a bank holding company that meets specified conditions, including its depository institution subsidiaries being well-capitalized and well managed, to opt to become a “financial holding company,” and thereby engage in a broader array of financial activities than previously permitted. Such activities can include insurance underwriting and investment banking. The Dodd-Frank Act added the requirements that the holding company itself be well-capitalized and “well managed.” The Company has not, up to this time, opted to become a financial holding company. The Federal Reserve Board has the power to order a holding company or its subsidiaries to terminate any activity, or to terminate its ownership or control of any subsidiary, when it has reasonable cause to believe that the continuation of such activity or such ownership or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of any bank subsidiary of that holding company.

Under the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978 (the “CBCA”), a 60-day prior written notice must be submitted to the Federal Reserve Board if any person (including a company), or any group acting in concert, seeks to acquire 10% of any class of the Company’s outstanding voting securities, unless the Federal Reserve Board determines that such acquisition will not result in a change of control of the bank. Under the CBCA, the Federal Reserve Board has 60 days within which to act on such notice taking into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the proposed acquiror, the convenience and needs of the community served by the bank and the antitrust effects of an acquisition.

Under the BHCA, any company would be required to obtain prior approval from the Federal Reserve Board before it may obtain “control” of the Company within the meaning of the BHCA. Control for BHCA purposes generally is defined to mean the ownership or power to vote 25% or more of any class of the Company’s voting securities or the ability to control in any manner the election of a majority of the Company’s directors. An existing bank holding company would be required to obtain the Federal Reserve Board’s prior approval under the BHCA before acquiring more than 5% of the Company’s voting stock.

Under Indiana banking law, prior approval of the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions is also required before any person may acquire control of an Indiana bank or bank holding company. The Department will issue a notice approving the transaction if it determines that the persons proposing to acquire the Indiana bank or bank holding company are qualified in character, experience and financial responsibility, and the transaction does not jeopardize the interests of the public.

Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted guidelines regarding the capital adequacy of bank holding companies, which require bank holding companies to maintain on a consolidated basis, specified minimum ratios of capital to total assets and capital to risk-weighted assets. These requirements, which generally apply to bank holding companies with consolidated assets of $500 million or more, are substantially similar to, but somewhat more generous than, those applicable to the Bank. See “– Regulation and Supervision of the Bank – Capital Requirements.” The Dodd-Frank Act required the Federal Reserve Board to adopt consolidated capital requirements for holding companies that are equally as stringent as those applicable to the depository institution subsidiaries. That means that certain instruments that had previously been includable in Tier 1 capital for bank holding companies, such as trust preferred securities, will no longer be eligible for inclusion. The revised capital requirements are subject to certain grandfathering and transition rules.

Regulation and Supervision of the Bank

General. The Bank, as an Indiana chartered commercial bank, is subject to extensive regulation by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and the FDIC. The lending activities and other investments of the Bank must comply with various regulatory requirements. The Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and FDIC periodically examine the Bank for compliance with various regulatory requirements. The Bank must file reports with the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and the FDIC describing its activities and financial condition. The Bank is also subject to certain reserve requirements promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. This supervision and regulation is intended primarily for the protection of depositors. Certain of these regulatory requirements are referred to below or appear elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The regulatory discussion, however, does not purport to be an exhaustive treatment of applicable laws and regulations and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual statutes and regulations. The Bank’s conversion from an Indiana savings bank to an Indiana commercial bank has not materially changed the regulatory requirements applicable to the Bank.

The Dodd-Frank Act provides for the establishment of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as an independent bureau of the Federal Reserve Board. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will assume responsibility for implementing federal consumer financial protection and fair lending laws and regulations, a function currently handled by federal bank regulatory agencies. However, institutions of $10 billion or less in total assets will continue to be examined for compliance by, and subject to the enforcement authority of, the federal bank regulator.

Federal Banking Law

Capital Requirements. Under FDIC regulations, state chartered banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System are required to maintain a minimum leverage capital requirement consisting of a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3% if the FDIC determines that the institution is not anticipating or experiencing significant growth and has well-diversified risk, including no undue interest rate risk exposure, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good earnings, and in general, a strong banking organization, rated composite 1 under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System (the CAMELS rating system) established by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. For all but the most highly rated institutions meeting the conditions set forth above, the minimum leverage capital ratio is 4%. Tier 1 capital is the sum of common stockholders’ equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock (including any related surplus) and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, minus all intangible assets (other than certain mortgage and certain other servicing assets, purchased credit card relationships, credit-enhancing interest-only strips and certain deferred tax assets), identified losses, investments in certain financial subsidiaries and non-financial equity investments.

In addition to the leverage capital ratio (the ratio of Tier I capital to total assets), state chartered nonmember banks must maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8%, of which at least half must be Tier 1 capital. Qualifying total capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital (also referred to as supplementary capital) items. Tier 2 capital items include allowances for loan losses in an amount of up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, cumulative preferred stock and preferred stock with a maturity of over 20 years, certain other capital instruments and up to 45% of pre-tax net unrealized holding gains on equity securities. The includable amount of Tier 2 capital cannot exceed the institution’s Tier 1 capital. Qualifying total capital is further reduced by the amount of the bank’s investments in banking and finance subsidiaries that are not consolidated for regulatory capital purposes, reciprocal cross-holdings of capital securities issued by other banks, most intangible assets and certain other deductions. Under the FDIC risk-weighted system, all of a bank’s balance sheet assets and the credit equivalent amounts of certain off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of four broad risk-weight categories from 0% to 100%, based on the regulators’ perception of the risks inherent in the type of assets or item. The aggregate dollar amount of each category is multiplied by the risk weight assigned to that category. The sum of these weighted values equals the bank’s risk-weighted assets.

At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total assets was 8.93%, its ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 11.86% and its ratio of total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets was 13.11%.

Investment Activities. Since the enactment of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act, all state-chartered FDIC-insured banks have generally been limited in their activities as principal and their equity investments to the type and in the amount authorized for national banks, notwithstanding state law. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act and the FDIC regulations permit exceptions to these limitations. The FDIC is authorized to permit such institutions to engage in state authorized activities or investments not permissible for national banks (other than non-subsidiary equity investments) if they meet all applicable capital requirements and it is determined that such activities or investments do not pose a significant risk to the Deposit Insurance Fund. The FDIC has adopted regulations governing the procedures for institutions seeking approval to engage in such activities or investments. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 specifies that a non-member bank may control a subsidiary that engages in activities as principal that would only be permitted for a national bank to conduct in a “financial subsidiary” if a bank meets specified conditions and deducts its investment in the subsidiary for regulatory capital purposes.

Interstate Banking and Branching. The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 permitted bank holding companies to acquire banks in any state subject to specified concentration limits and other conditions. The Interstate Banking Act also authorizes the interstate merger of banks. In addition, among other things, the Interstate Banking Act, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act, permits banks to establish de novo branches on an interstate basis provided that state banks chartered by the target state are permitted to establish de novo branches in the state.

Dividend Limitations. The Bank may not pay dividends on its capital stock if its regulatory capital would thereby be reduced below the amount then required for the liquidation account established for the benefit of certain depositors of the Bank at the time of its conversion to stock form. In addition, the Bank may not pay dividends that exceed retained net income for the applicable calendar year to date, plus retained net income for the preceding two years without prior approval from the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. On July 26, 2010, following a joint examination by and discussions with the FDIC and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions, the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted a resolution agreeing to, among other things, receive prior approval of the FDIC and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions before declaring or paying any dividends. At December 31, 2010, the shareholders’ equity of the Bank was $40.6 million.

Earnings of the Bank appropriated to bad debt reserves and deducted for federal income tax purposes are not available for payment of cash dividends or other distributions to stockholders without payment of taxes at the then current tax rate by the Bank on the amount of earnings removed from the reserves for such distributions. See “Federal and State Taxation.”

Under FDIC regulations, the Bank is prohibited from making any capital distributions if, after making the distribution, the Bank would fail to meet any applicable capital requirements. For additional information about dividend limitations see Note 11 in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Insurance of Deposit Accounts. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s risk-based assessment system, insured institutions are assigned to one of four risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other factors, with less risky institutions paying lower assessments. An institution’s assessment rate depends upon the category to which it is assigned, and certain potential adjustments established by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations. Effective April 1, 2009, assessment rates range from seven to 77.5 basis points of assessable deposits. The Dodd-Frank Act required the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to amend its procedures to base assessments on total assets less tangible equity rather than deposits. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation approved a final rule in February 2011 that will implement that directive in the second quarter of 2011. The Federal Deposit Insurance may adjust the scale uniformly from one quarter to the next, except that no adjustment can deviate more than three basis points from the base scale without notice and comment. No institution may pay a dividend if in default of the federal deposit insurance assessment.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation imposed on all insured institutions a special emergency assessment of five basis points of total assets minus Tier 1 capital (as of June 30, 2009), capped at ten basis points of an institution’s deposit assessment base, to cover losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund. That special assessment, in the amount of $193,000, was collected on September 30, 2009. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation provided for similar assessments during the final two quarters of 2009, if deemed necessary. However, in lieu of further special assessments, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation required insured institutions to prepay estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 through the fourth quarter of 2012. Such amount was $2.7 million for the Bank. The estimated assessments, which include an assumed annual assessment base increase of 5%, were recorded as a prepaid expense asset as of December 30, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, and each quarter thereafter, a charge to earnings will be recorded for each regular assessment with an offsetting credit to the prepaid asset.

Due to the recent difficult economic conditions, deposit insurance per account owner has been raised to $250,000. That limit was made permanent by the Dodd-Frank Act. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation adopted an optional Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program by which, for a fee, noninterest-bearing transaction accounts would receive unlimited insurance coverage until September 30, 2010, subsequently extended to December 31, 2010, with an additional extension to December 31, 2012, and certain senior unsecured debt issued by institutions and their holding companies between October 13, 2008 and October 31, 2009 would be guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation through June 30, 2012, or in some cases, December 31, 2012. The Bank initially elected to participate in the unlimited noninterest-bearing transaction account coverage program, and subsequently opted out effective December 31, 2009. The Bank and the Company both participated in the unsecured debt guarantee program, but issued no debt under the program. The Dodd-Frank Act adopted mandatory unlimited coverage for certain noninterest-bearing transaction accounts from January 1, 2011 until December 31, 2012.

In addition to the assessment for deposit insurance, institutions are required to make payments on bonds issued in the late 1980s by the Financing Corporation to recapitalize a predecessor deposit insurance fund. That payment is established quarterly and during the four quarters ended December 31, 2010 averaged 1.045 basis points of assessable deposits. These financing corporation payments will continue until the bonds mature in 2017 through 2019.

The Dodd-Frank Act increased the minimum target Deposit Insurance Fund ratio from 1.15% of estimated insured deposits to 1.35% of estimated insured deposits. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation must seek to achieve the 1.35% ratio by September 30, 2020. Insured institutions with assets of $10 billion or more are supposed to fund the increase. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated the 1.5% maximum fund ratio, instead leaving it to the discretion of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation recently exercised that discretion by establishing a long-range fund ratio of 2%.

The FDIC has authority to increase insurance assessments. A significant increase in insurance premiums would likely have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of the Bank. Management cannot predict what insurance assessment rates will be in the future.

Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC. The management of the Bank does not know of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of deposit insurance.

Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action. The federal banking regulators are required to take prompt corrective action if an insured depository institution fails to satisfy certain minimum capital requirements, including a leverage limit, a risk-based capital requirement and any other measure deemed appropriate by the federal banking regulators for measuring the capital adequacy of an insured depository institution. All institutions, regardless of their capital levels, are restricted from making any capital distribution or paying any management fees if the institution would thereafter fail to satisfy the minimum levels for any of its capital requirements. An institution that fails to meet the minimum level for any relevant capital measure (an “undercapitalized institution”) may be: (i) subject to increased monitoring by the appropriate federal banking regulator; (ii) required to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan within 45 days; (iii) subject to asset growth limits; and (iv) required to obtain prior regulatory approval for acquisitions, branching and new lines of businesses. The capital restoration plan must include a guarantee by the institution’s holding company that the institution will comply with the plan until it has been adequately capitalized on average for four consecutive quarters, under which the holding company would be liable up to the lesser of 5% of the institution’s total assets or the amount necessary to bring the institution into capital compliance as of the date it failed to comply with its capital restoration plan. A “significantly undercapitalized” institution, as well as any undercapitalized institution that does not submit an acceptable capital restoration plan, may be subject to regulatory demands for recapitalization, broader application of restrictions on transactions with affiliates, limitations on interest rates paid on deposits, asset growth and other activities, possible replacement of directors and officers, and restrictions on capital distributions by any bank holding company controlling the institution. Any company controlling the institution may also be required to divest the institution or the institution could be required to divest subsidiaries. The senior executive officers of a significantly undercapitalized institution may not receive bonuses or increases in compensation without prior approval and the institution is prohibited from making payments of principal or interest on its subordinated debt. At their discretion, the federal banking regulators may also impose the foregoing sanctions on an undercapitalized institution if the regulators determine that such actions are necessary to carry out the purposes of the prompt corrective provisions. If an institution’s ratio of tangible capital to total assets falls below the “critically undercapitalized level” established by law, i.e., a ratio of tangible equity to total assets of 2% or less, the institution will be subject to conservatorship or receivership within specified time periods. Tangible equity is defined as core capital plus cumulative perpetual preferred stock (and related surplus) less all intangible assets other than qualifying supervisory goodwill and certain purchased mortgage servicing rights.

Under the implementing regulations, the federal banking regulators generally measure an institution’s capital adequacy on the basis of its total risk-based capital ratio (the ratio of its total capital to risk-weighted assets), Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (the ratio of its core capital to risk-weighted assets) and leverage ratio (the ratio of its core capital to adjusted total assets). The following table shows the capital ratios required for the various prompt corrective action categories.

		Adequately		Significantly
	Well Capitalized	Capitalized	Undercapitalized	Undercapitalized
Total risk-based capital ratio	10.0% or more	8.0% or more	Less than 8.0%	Less than 6.0%
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio	6.0% or more	4.0% or more	Less than 4.0%	Less than 3.0%
Tier 1 leverage ratio	5.0% or more	4.0% or more *	Less than 4.0% *	Less than 3.0%

* 3.0% if institution has a composite 1 CAMELS rating.

The FDIC may reclassify a well-capitalized depository institution as adequately capitalized and may require an adequately capitalized or undercapitalized institution to comply with the supervisory actions applicable to institutions in the next lower capital category (but may not reclassify a significantly undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized) if the FDIC determines, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, that the savings institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or that the institution has received and not corrected a less-than-satisfactory rating for any CAMELS rating category.

Safety and Soundness Guidelines. Each federal banking agency was required to establish safety and soundness standards for the depository institutions under its authority. The interagency guidelines require depository institutions to maintain internal controls and information systems and internal audit systems that are appropriate for the size, nature and scope of the institution’s business. The guidelines also establish certain basic standards for loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure and asset growth. The guidelines further provide that depository institutions should maintain safeguards to prevent the payment of compensation, fees and benefits that are excessive or that could lead to material financial loss, and should take into account factors such as compensation practices at comparable institutions. If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that a depository institution is not in compliance with the safety and soundness guidelines, it may require the institution to submit an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the guidelines. A depository institution must submit an acceptable compliance plan to its primary federal regulator within 30 days of receipt of a request for such a plan. Failure to submit or implement a compliance plan may subject the institution to regulatory sanctions. Management believes that the Bank meets all the standards adopted in the interagency guidelines.

Enforcement. The FDIC has extensive enforcement authority over nonmember insured state banks, including the Bank. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, issue cease and desist orders and remove directors and officers. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated in response to violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. The FDIC has authority under federal law to appoint a conservator or receiver for an insured bank under limited circumstances. The FDIC is required, with certain exceptions, to appoint a receiver or conservator for an insured state non-member bank if that banks was “critically undercapitalized” on average during the calendar quarter beginning 270 days after the date on which the institution became “critically undercapitalized.” The FDIC may also appoint itself as conservator or receiver for an insured state non-member institution under specific circumstances on the basis of the institution’s financial condition or upon the occurrence of other events, including (1) insolvency; (2) substantial dissipation of assets or earnings through violations of law or unsafe or unsound practices; (3) existence of an unsafe or unsound condition to transact business; and (4) insufficient capital, or the incurring of losses that will deplete substantially all of the institution’s capital with no reasonable prospect of replenishment without federal assistance.

Reserve Requirements. Under Federal Reserve Board regulations, the Bank currently must maintain average daily reserves equal to 3% on aggregate transaction accounts up to and including $58.8 million, plus 10% on the remainder. The first $10.7 million of transaction accounts are exempt. This percentage is subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve Board. Because required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or in a noninterest-bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of the reserve requirement is to reduce the amount of the institution’s interest-earning assets. At December 31, 2010, the Bank met applicable Federal Reserve Board reserve requirements.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks governed and regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Board (“FHFB”). As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and hold stock in the FHLB of Indianapolis. As of December 31, 2010, the Bank held stock in the FHLB of Indianapolis in the amount of $5.1 million and was in compliance with the above requirement.

The FHLB of Indianapolis serves as a reserve or central bank for the member institutions within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of FHLB System. It makes loans (i.e., advances) to members in accordance with policies and procedures established by the FHLB System and the Board of Directors of the FHLB of Indianapolis.

Loans to Executive Officers, Directors and Principal Stockholders. Loans to directors, executive officers and principal stockholders of a state nonmember bank like the Bank must be made on substantially the same terms as those prevailing for comparable transactions with persons who are not executive officers, directors, principal stockholders or employees of the Bank unless the loan is made pursuant to a compensation or benefit plan that is widely available to employees and does not favor insiders. Loans to any executive officer, director and principal stockholder together with all other outstanding loans to such person and affiliated interests generally may not exceed 15% of the Bank’s unimpaired capital and surplus and all loans to such persons may not exceed the institution’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. Loans to directors, executive officers and principal stockholders, and their respective affiliates, in excess of the greater of $25,000 or 5% of capital and surplus (on any loans where the total outstanding amounts to $500,000 or more) must be approved in advance by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Bank with any “interested” director not participating in the voting. State nonmember banks are prohibited from paying the overdrafts of any of their executive officers or directors unless payment is made pursuant to a written, pre-authorized interest-bearing extension of credit plan that specifies a method of repayment or transfer of funds from another account at the bank. Loans to executive officers may not be made on terms more favorable than those afforded other borrowers and are restricted as to type, amount and terms of credit. In addition, Section 106 of the BHCA prohibits extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, and greater than 10% stockholders of a depository institution by any other institution which has a correspondent banking relationship with the institution, unless such extension of credit is on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and does not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.

Transactions with Affiliates. A state nonmember bank or its subsidiaries may not engage in “covered transactions” with any one affiliate in an amount greater than 10% of such bank’s capital stock and surplus, and for all such transactions with all affiliates, a state non-member bank is limited to an amount equal to 20% of capital stock and surplus. All such transactions must also be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, to the bank or subsidiary as those provided to a nonaffiliate. Certain covered transactions must meet prescribed collateralization requirements. The term “covered transaction” includes the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance of a guarantee and similar other types of transactions. An affiliate of a state non-member bank is any company or entity which controls or is under common control with the state non-member bank and, for purposes of the aggregate limit on transactions with affiliates, any subsidiary that would be deemed a financial subsidiary of a national bank. In a holding company context, the parent holding company of a state non-member bank (such as the Company) and any companies which are controlled by such parent holding company are affiliates of the state non-member bank. The BHCA further prohibits a depository institution from extending credit to or offering any other services, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service, on the condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the institution or certain of its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor of the institution, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Indiana Banking Law

Branching. An Indiana bank is entitled to establish one or more branches de novo or by acquisition in any location or locations in Indiana and in other states (subject to the requirements of federal law for interstate banking). The bank is required to file an application with the Department of Financial Institutions. Approval of the application is contingent upon the Department’s determination that after the establishment of the branch, the bank will have adequate capital, sound management and adequate future earnings. An application to branch must also be approved by the FDIC.

Lending Limits. Indiana banks are not subject to percentage of asset or capital limits on their commercial, consumer and non-residential mortgage lending, and accordingly, have more flexibility in structuring their portfolios than federally chartered savings banks. Indiana law provides that a bank may not make a loan or extend credit to a borrower or group of borrowers in excess of 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional 10% of capital and surplus may be lent if secured by specified readily marketable collateral.

Enforcement. The Department has authority to take enforcement action against an Indiana bank in appropriate cases, including the issuance of cease and desist orders, removal of directors or officers, issuance of civil money penalties and appointment of a conservator or receiver.

Other Activities. The Bank is authorized to engage in a variety of agency and fiduciary activities including acting as executors of an estate, transfer agent and in other fiduciary capacities. On approval from the Department of Financial Institutions, the Bank would be permitted to exercise any right granted to national banks.

Regulatory Restructuring Legislation. On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed in law the Dodd-Frank Act, which is legislation that restructures the regulation of depository institutions. In addition to creating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Dodd-Frank Act, among other things, requires changes in the way that institutions are assessed for deposit insurance, authorizes the payment of interest on business checking accounts, mandates the imposition of consolidated capital requirements on holding companies that are less stringent than those applicable to the subsidiary institution, requires that originators of securitized loans retain a percentage of the risk for the transferred loans, requires the Federal Reserve Board to regulate pricing of certain debit card interchange fees, reduces the federal preemption afforded to national banks and federal savings associations and contains a number of reforms related to mortgage origination. Many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act contain delayed effective dates and require the issuance of regulations. Consequently, it will be some time before their impact on operations can be assessed by management. However, there is a significant possibility that the Dodd-Frank Act will, at a minimum, result in an increased regulatory burden and higher compliance, operating, and possibly, interest expense costs for the Company and the Bank.

Federal Taxation. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return on a calendar year end. Banks are subject to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) in the same general manner as other corporations. However, institutions, such as the Bank, which met certain definitional tests and other conditions prescribed by the Code benefited from certain favorable provisions regarding their deductions from taxable income for annual additions to their bad debt reserve.

The Company’s federal income tax returns have not been audited in the past five years.

State Taxation. The State of Indiana imposes a franchise tax which is assessed on qualifying financial institutions, such as the Bank. The tax is based upon federal taxable income before net operating loss carryforward deductions (adjusted for certain Indiana modifications) and is levied at a rate of 8.5% of apportioned adjusted taxable income.

The Company’s state income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 were audited in 2007 and no additional taxes were assessed as a result of the audit.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in shares of our common stock involves various risks. Before deciding to invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below in conjunction with the other information in this Form 10-K, including the items included as exhibits. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed by any of the following risks or by other risks that have not been identified or that we may believe are immaterial or unlikely. The value or market price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks. The risks discussed below also include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.

Our increased emphasis on commercial lending may expose us to increased lending risk. At December 31, 2010, our loan portfolio consisted of $94.6 million, or 29.8%, of commercial real estate loans, $26.8 million, or 8.4%, of construction loans (primarily commercial properties), and $22.3 million, or 7.0%, of commercial and industrial loans and leases. We intend to continue to maintain our emphasis on the origination of commercial loans. However, these types of loans generally expose a lender to greater risk of non-payment and loss than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans because repayment of the loans often depends on the successful operation of the property, the income stream of the borrowers and, for construction loans, the accuracy of the estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction and the estimated cost of construction. Commercial and construction loans typically involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers compared to one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Commercial and industrial loans expose us to additional risks since they typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayments from the cash flows of the borrower’s business and are secured by non-real estate collateral that may depreciate over time. In addition, since such loans generally entail greater risk than one to four-family residential mortgage loans, we may need to increase our allowance for loan losses to account for the likely increase in probable incurred credit losses associated with the growth of such loans. Also, many of our commercial and construction borrowers have more than one loan outstanding with us. Consequently, an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to a significantly greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a one- to four-family residential mortgage loan.

We may be required to increase our provision for loan losses and to charge-off additional loans in the future, each of which could adversely affect our results of operations. Further, our allowance for loan losses may prove to be insufficient to absorb losses in our loan portfolio. For 2010, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.9 million. We also recorded net loan charge-offs of $1.7 million. The recent economic recession has contributed to the relatively high levels of loan delinquencies and nonperforming assets as of December 31, 2010. Our nonperforming loans totaled $11.2 million, representing 3.5% of total loans. In addition, loans that we have classified as substandard totaled $8.1 million, representing 2.6% of total loans. If these loans do not perform according to their terms and the collateral is insufficient to pay any remaining loan balance, we may experience loan losses, which could have a material effect on our operating results. Like all financial institutions, we maintain an allowance for loan losses to provide for loans in our portfolio that may not be repaid in their entirety. We believe that our allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio as of the corresponding balance sheet date. However, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover actual loan losses, and future provisions for loan losses could materially adversely affect our operating results.

In evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses, we consider numerous quantitative factors, including our historical charge-off experience, growth of our loan portfolio, changes in the composition of our loan portfolio and the volume of delinquent and classified loans. In addition, we use information about specific borrower situations, including their financial position and estimated collateral values, to estimate the risk and amount of loss for those borrowers. Finally, we also consider many qualitative factors, including general and economic business conditions, current general market collateral valuations, trends apparent in any of the factors we take into account and other matters, which are by nature more subjective and fluid. Our estimates of the risk of loss and amount of loss on any loan are complicated by the significant uncertainties surrounding our borrowers’ abilities to successfully execute their business models through changing economic environments, competitive challenges and other factors. Because of the degree of uncertainty and susceptibility of these factors to change, our actual losses may vary from our current estimates.

At December 31, 2010, our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.33%. Our regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our allowance for loan losses by recognizing additional provisions for loan losses charged to expense, or to decrease our allowance for loan losses by recognizing loan charge-offs, net of recoveries. Any such additional provisions for loan losses or charge-offs, as required by these regulatory agencies, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The economic recession could result in increases in our level of non-performing loans and/or reduce demand for our products and services, which would lead to lower revenue, higher loan losses and lower earnings. Our business activities and earnings are affected by general business conditions in the United States and in our local market area. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, unemployment levels, monetary supply, consumer confidence and spending, fluctuations in both debt and equity capital markets, and the strength of the economy in the United States generally and in our market area in particular. The national economy has recently experienced a recession, with rising unemployment levels, declines in real estate values and an erosion in consumer confidence. Dramatic declines in the U.S. housing market over the past few years, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures, have negatively affected the performance of mortgage loans and resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by many financial institutions, including the Bank. A prolonged or more severe economic downturn, continued elevated levels of unemployment, further declines in the values of real estate, or other events that affect household and/or corporate incomes could further impair the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans in accordance with their terms. Nearly all of our loans are secured by real estate or made to businesses in central Indiana. As a result of this concentration, a prolonged or more severe downturn in the local economy could result in significant increases in nonperforming loans, which would negatively impact our interest income and result in higher provisions for loan losses, which would hurt our earnings. Continuation of the economic downturn could also result in reduced demand for credit or fee-based products and services, which would hurt our revenues.

Our cost of operations is high relative to our assets. Our failure to maintain or reduce our operating expenses costs could hurt our profits. Our operating expenses, which consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, furniture and equipment expense, professional fees, data processing expense, FDIC insurance premiums and assessments, and marketing, totaled $16.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $17.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. We continue our concerted effort to effectively manage our expenses. Our efficiency ratio totaled 87.8% for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 92.6% for the year ended December 31, 2009. Failure to control our expenses could hurt future profits.

Changes in interest rates could reduce our net interest income and earnings. Our net interest income is the interest we earn on loans and investment less the interest we pay on our deposits and borrowings. Our net interest margin is the difference between the yield we earn on our assets and the interest rate we pay for deposits and our other sources of funding. Changes in interest rates—up or down—could adversely affect our net interest margin and, as a result, our net interest income. Although the yield we earn on our assets and our funding costs tend to move in the same direction in response to changes in interest rates, one can rise or fall faster than the other, causing our net interest margin to expand or contract. Our liabilities tend to be shorter in duration than our assets, so they may adjust faster in response to changes in interest rates. As a result, when interest rates rise, our funding costs may rise faster than the yield we earn on our assets, causing our net interest margin to contract until the yield catches up. Changes in the slope of the “yield curve”—or the spread between short-term and long-term interest rates—could also reduce our net interest margin. Normally, the yield curve is upward sloping, meaning short-term rates are lower than long-term rates. Because our liabilities tend to be shorter in duration than our assets, when the yield curve flattens or even inverts, we could experience pressure on our net interest margin as our cost of funds increases relative to the yield we can earn on our assets.

The building of market share through our branching strategy could cause our expenses to increase faster than revenues. We opened a full-service banking center in Fishers, Indiana in October 2008, a second banking center in Carmel in December 2008 and a third in Westfield in May 2009. We also purchased property in Plainfield in 2008 with the expectation to begin construction on a new full-service banking center, but those plans were put on hold until such time it is determined that the economy and other conditions warrant the required investment. There are considerable costs involved in opening branches and new branches generally require a period of time to generate sufficient revenues to offset their costs, especially in areas in which we do not have an established presence. Accordingly, any new branch can be expected to negatively impact our earnings for some period of time until the branch reaches certain economies of scale.

Recently enacted regulatory reform may have a material impact on our operations. On July 21, 2010, the President signed into law The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). The Dodd-Frank Act contains various provisions designed to enhance the regulation of depository institutions and prevent the recurrence of a financial crisis such as occurred in 2008-2009. These include provisions strengthening holding company capital requirements, requiring retention of a portion of the risk of securitized loans and regulating debit card interchange fees. The Dodd-Frank Act also creates a new federal agency to administer consumer protection and fair lending laws, a function that is now performed by the depository institution regulators. The full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on our business and operations will not be known for years until regulations implementing the statute are written and adopted. The Dodd-Frank Act may have a material impact on our operations, particularly through increased regulatory burden and compliance costs.

Increased and/or special FDIC assessments will hurt our earnings. The recent economic recession has caused a high level of bank failures, which has dramatically increased FDIC resolution costs and led to a significant reduction in the balance of the Deposit Insurance Fund. As a result, the FDIC has significantly increased the initial base assessment rates paid by financial institutions for deposit insurance. Increases in the base assessment rate have increased our deposit insurance costs and negatively impacted our earnings. In addition, in May 2009, the FDIC imposed a special assessment on all insured institutions. Our special assessment, which was reflected in earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, was $225,000. In lieu of imposing an additional special assessment, the FDIC required all institutions to prepay their assessments for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012, which for us totaled $2.7 million. Additional increases in the base assessment rate or additional special assessments would negatively impact our earnings.

Strong competition within our market area could hurt our profits and slow growth. We face intense competition both in making loans and attracting deposits. This competition has made it more difficult for us to make new loans and has occasionally forced us to offer higher deposit rates. Price competition for loans and deposits might result in us earning less on our loans and paying more on our deposits, which reduces net interest income. According to the FDIC, as of June 30, 2010, we held 31.42% of the deposits in Henry County, Indiana, which was the second largest market share of deposits out of the six financial institutions that held deposits in this county. We also held 9.80% of the deposits in Hancock County, Indiana, which was the fourth largest market share of deposits out of the 10 financial institutions that held deposits in this county. Some of the institutions with which we compete have substantially greater resources and lending limits than we have and may offer services that we do not provide. We expect competition to increase in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. Our profitability depends upon our continued ability to compete successfully in our market area.

We operate in a highly regulated environment and we may be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations. The Bank is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions, its chartering authority, and by the FDIC, as insurer of its deposits. The Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board. Such regulation and supervision govern the activities in which an institution and its holding company may engage, and are intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and for the depositors and borrowers of the Bank. The regulation and supervision by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and the FDIC are not intended to protect the interests of investors in the Company’s common stock. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on our operations, the classification of our assets and determination of the level of our allowance for loan losses. Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, legislation or supervisory action, may have a material impact on our operations.

The trading history of our common stock is characterized by low trading volume. Our common stock may be subject to sudden decreases. Although our common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Market, it has not been regularly traded. We cannot predict whether a more active trading market in our common stock will occur or how liquid that market might become. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends upon the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers of our common stock at any given time, which presence is dependent upon the individual decisions of investors, over which we have no control.

The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed in other risk factors and the following:

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

changes in interest rates;

changes in the legal or regulatory environment in which we operate;

press releases, announcements or publicity relating to us or our competitors or relating to trends in our industry;

changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts and investors;

future sales of our common stock;

changes in economic conditions in our marketplace, general conditions in the U.S. economy, financial markets or the banking industry; and

other developments affecting our competitors or us.

These factors may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance, and could prevent you from selling your common stock at or above the price you desire. In addition, the stock markets, from time to time, experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies. These broad fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our trading performance.

Failure to comply with the restrictions and conditions in the resolutions adopted by our board at the request of our regulators could result in additional enforcement action against us. On September 28, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted a resolution agreeing to higher capital requirements, requirements to reduce the level of our classified and criticized assets and restrictions on dividend payments. On July 26, 2010, following a joint examination by and discussions with the FDIC and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions, the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted a resolution with the same requirements, except for an additional 0.50% increase in the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio to 8.50%. These restrictions may impede our ability to operate our business.

Additionally, on December 17, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company, at the request of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, adopted a resolution requiring the Board to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Bank at least thirty days before taking any of the following actions:

The payment of corporate dividends;

The payment of interest on trust preferred securities;

Any increase in debt or issuance of trust preferred obligations (the request for approval should include a written debt service plan indicating how payments will be made without causing further strain on Ameriana Bank’s capital position); and

The redemption of Ameriana Bancorp stock.

The resolution will remain in effect until the Federal Reserve Bank authorizes the Board to rescind the resolution. If we fail to comply with the terms and conditions of the board resolutions, our regulators could take enforcement action against us, including the imposition of further operating restrictions. These enforcement actions could take the form of a memorandum of understanding or a cease and desist order. Any informal or formal enforcement action could harm our reputation and our ability to retain or attract customers or employees and impact the trading price of our common stock.

We may require additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed. We anticipate that we have adequate capital for the foreseeable future. However, we may at some point need to raise additional capital to support our continued growth or if we incur significant loan or securities impairment. Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside our control, and on our financial performance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, our ability to further expand our operations through internal growth could be materially impaired.

Provisions of our articles of incorporation, bylaws and Indiana law, as well as state and federal banking regulations, could delay or prevent a takeover of us by a third party. Provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws and the corporate law of the State of Indiana could delay, defer or prevent a third party from acquiring us, despite the possible benefit to our shareholders, or otherwise adversely affect the price of our common stock. These provisions include: supermajority voting requirements for certain business combinations; the election of directors to staggered terms of three years; and advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors and for proposing matters that shareholders may act on at shareholder meetings. In addition, we are subject to Indiana laws, including one that prohibits us from engaging in a business combination with any interested shareholder for a period of five years from the date the person became an interested shareholder unless certain conditions are met. These provisions may discourage potential takeover attempts, discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over market price or adversely affect the market price of, and the voting and other rights of the holders of, our common stock. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other shareholders to elect directors other than the candidates nominated by our Board of Directors.

We may not be able to realize the full value of our deferred tax asset. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, coupled with unused tax credits and tax benefits from operating loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2010, our net deferred tax asset was $4.9 million. The net deferred tax asset was composed of approximately $3.5 million of tax benefit from both state and federal net operating loss carryforwards, approximately $1.3 million of tax benefit from temporary differences between book and tax income and an unused federal tax credit of $1.0 million, reduced by a valuation allowance of $879,000.

We regularly review our deferred tax asset for recoverability based on our history of earnings, expectations for future earnings and expected timing of reversals of temporary differences, as well as tax strategies available to expedite the use of both the deferred state tax asset and the deferred federal tax asset. Realization of our deferred tax asset ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient future taxable income. We currently expect that it is more likely than not that our net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2010 will be fully realizable based on our expected future earnings. Realization of our deferred tax asset would significantly improve our earnings and capital through a related reversal of the current valuation allowance.

Significant activity in the fourth quarter of 2010

The two primary factors impacting net income for the quarter were a larger provision for loan losses related to management’s continuing evaluation regarding the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses considering the current economic environment, and other costs associated with non-performing assets.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Who We Are

Ameriana Bancorp (the “Company”) is an Indiana chartered bank holding company organized in 1987 by Ameriana Bank (the “Bank”). The Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank began banking operations in 1890. In June 2002, the Bank converted to an Indiana savings bank and adopted the name, Ameriana Bank and Trust, SB. In July 2006, the Bank closed its Trust Department and adopted the name “Americana Bank, SB.” On June 1, 2009, the Bank converted to an Indiana commercial bank and adopted its present name, “Americana Bank.” The charter conversion did not involve any significant financial or regulatory changes and did not affect the Bank’s current activities. The Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”). Our deposits are insured to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund administered by the FDIC. References in this Form 10-K to “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Ameriana Bancorp and/or the Bank, as appropriate.

We are headquartered in New Castle, Indiana. We conduct business through our main office at 2118 Bundy Avenue, New Castle, Indiana, through 12 branch offices located in New Castle, Middletown, Knightstown, Morristown, Greenfield, Anderson, Avon, McCordsville, Fishers, Carmel, Westfield and New Palestine, Indiana, and through our loan production office in Carmel, Indiana.

The Bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ameriana Insurance Agency (“AIA”) and Ameriana Financial Services, Inc. (“AFS”). AIA provides insurance sales from offices in New Castle, Greenfield and Avon, Indiana. On July 1, 2009, AIA purchased the book of business of Chapin-Hayworth Insurance Agency Inc. located in New Castle, Indiana. AFS had offered insurance products through its ownership of an interest in Family Financial Life Insurance Company (“Family Financial”), New Orleans, Louisiana, which offers a full line of credit-related insurance products. On May 22, 2009, the Company announced that AFS had liquidated its 16.67% interest in Family Financial, and recorded a pre-tax gain of $192,000 from the transaction. AFS also operates a brokerage facility in conjunction with LPL Financial that provides non-bank investment product alternatives to its customers and the general public. A third Bank subsidiary, Ameriana Investment Management, Inc. (“AIMI”), had managed part of the Company’s investment portfolio. Following a cost/benefit analysis, AIMI was liquidated effective December 31, 2009, and the portfolio under management was transferred to the Bank. The Company holds a minority interest in a limited partnership, House Investments, organized to acquire and manage real estate investments which qualify for federal tax credits.

What We Do

The Bank is a community-oriented financial institution. Our principal business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and investing those funds primarily in mortgage loans on single-family residences, multi-family loans, construction loans, commercial real estate loans, and, to a lesser extent, commercial and industrial loans, small business loans, home improvement loans, and consumer loans. We have from time to time purchased loans and loan participations in the secondary market. We also invest in various federal and government agency obligations and other investment securities permitted by applicable laws and regulations, including mortgage-backed, municipal and equity securities. We offer customers in our market area time deposits with terms from three months to seven years, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts and money market accounts. Our primary source of borrowings is FHLB advances. Through our subsidiaries, we engage in insurance and investment and brokerage activities.

Our primary source of income is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on our loan and investment portfolios and the interest expense incurred on our deposits and borrowing portfolios. Our loan portfolio typically earns more interest than the investment portfolio, and our deposits typically have a lower average rate than FHLB advances. Several factors affect our net interest income. These factors include the loan, investment, deposit, and borrowing portfolio balances, their composition, the length of their maturity, re-pricing characteristics, liquidity, credit, and interest rate risk, as well as market and competitive conditions.

Financial Challenges and Expansion in Recent Years

The Bank’s Indianapolis metropolitan market retail expansion strategy was advanced with the opening of two new banking centers in the last quarter of 2008, one in Fishers and the second in West Carmel. Another banking center located in Westfield opened in May of 2009 as scheduled, but plans for the construction of a new full-service banking center in Plainfield on property purchased by the Bank in early 2008 were put on hold until it is determined that the economy and other conditions warrant the required investment.

The economic climate became progressively difficult through most of 2008, as the world-wide financial crisis reached a peak in the second half of the year, and the subsequent economic recovery moved slowly in 2009 and through all of 2010. The severity of this environment and its consequences to the industry created many new formidable challenges for bankers.

Executive Overview of 2010

The Company recorded net income of $553,000, or $0.19 per share, for 2010, which followed a net loss of $264,000, or $(0.09) per share, for 2009. The results for 2010 compared to 2009 reflected an improvement in net interest income, but the Bank continued to be negatively impacted by high credit costs related to weak economic conditions. Following is additional summary information for the year:

Consistent with its capital contingency plan, the Company paid only a de minimis quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share, or $0.04 per share for the year.

The Company’s tangible common equity ratio at December 31, 2010 was 7.48%.

At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.93%, the tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.86%, and the total risk-based capital ratio was 13.11%. All three ratios were considerably above the levels required under regulatory guidelines to be considered “well capitalized,” and exceeded the Board resolution addressed below.

A $566,000, or 4.4% increase for 2010 in net interest income an a fully tax-equivalent basis was achieved with lower average earnings assets, as the net interest margin of 3.63% represented a 55 basis point improvement over 2009.

Average interest assets were reduced by $47.8 million, or 11.4%, through balance sheet restructuring strategies initiated in the last half of 2009 that were designed to increase the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios.

The net interest margin improvement resulted mostly from a significant reduction in the Bank’s average cost of deposits.

Due to a continuing elevated level of charge-offs and non-performing loans, the Bank recorded a $1.9 million provision for loan losses in 2010, which represented a $247,000 decrease from 2009, and was related primarily to the weak economic environment.

Total nonperforming loans of $11.2 million, or 3.55% of total loans at December 31, 2010, represented a $2.2 million increase from $9.0 million, or 2.78% of total loans at December 31, 2009.

The allowance for loan losses of $4.2 million, or 1.33% of total loans at December 31, 2010, represented a $207,000 increase over $4.0 million, or 1.23% of total loans at December 31, 2009.

Other income of $5.6 million for 2010 was $114,000 greater than the total of $5.5 million for the prior year. 2009 benefited from $1.7 million in gains on sales of investment securities, $1.4 million more than the $303,000 total for 2010, while 2010 benefited from a $560,000 gain from a bulk sale of seasoned residential mortgage loans, and a $725,000 reduction in net losses on other real estate owned (“OREO”) and other repossessed assets from $1.1 million for 2009 to $360,000 for 2010.

Although OREO expense of $954,000 for 2010 was $419,000 higher than the total for 2009, expense reductions in all but one other category allowed the Company to reduce total other expense by $302,000 from $17.1 million in 2009 to $16.8 million in 2010.

The income tax benefit of $242,000 with pre-tax income of $311,000 for 2010 was related primarily to a significant amount of tax-exempt income from bank-owned life insurance and tax-exempt interest from municipal securities and loans.

Balance sheet restructuring strategies initiated during the second half of 2009 and continued in 2010 contributed to a $11.9 million, or 2.7%, decrease in the Company’s total assets from $441.6 million at December 31, 2009 to $429.7 million at December 31, 2010:

Net loans receivable were $312.7 million at December 31, 2010, down $8.8 million, or 2.7%, from $321.5 million at the end of 2009,as commercial loan demand remained weak and the Bank sold some of its new production fixed-rate residential products in the secondary market, as well completing a 10.9 million bulk sale of seasoned single-family mortgage loans.

The 5.84% average yield on the loan portfolio for 2010 was a 5 basis points improvement over 5.79% for 2009, which had represented a decline of 58 basis points from the 2008 average yield of 6.37%.

As a matter of policy, the Company has not originated or purchased sub-prime loans.

OREO at December 31, 2010 of $9.1 million was $3.6 million higher than the total for the prior year end. The increase was due primarily to the second quarter migration of a $3.4 million commercial real estate credit from the non-performing loan classification.

The $38.6 million investment securities portfolio at December 31, 2010 represented a $2.8 million increase for the year, with 90.1% of the portfolio consisting of Ginnie Mae or GSE mortgage-backed securities. The Bank continues to sell municipal securities as part of its overall income tax strategy. As of December 31, 2010, the Company did not own Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac preferred stock, and did not own private-label mortgage-backed securities.

The decline in total deposits of $403,000 to $338.0 million at December 31, 2010 from $338.4 million a year earlier was minimized by the December addition of $10.4 million of brokered certificates of deposit. Non-maturity deposits increased $9.7 million during 2010, of which $7.4 million represented growth in checking account balances that resulted primarily from the Bank’s increased focus on sales activities coupled with its banking center expansion strategy. Non-brokered certificates of deposit decreased $20.4 million, mostly a result of Bank pricing strategies that were designed to not pursue the retention of the more rate sensitive non-core deposits.

The Bank achieved a 45 basis point reduction in the weighted average cost of total deposits to 1.05% at December 31, 2010 from 1.50% at the end of 2009.

Due primarily to the Bank’s fourth quarter decision to use brokered certificates of deposit as an alternative to new Federal Home Loan Bank advances, total borrowings were reduced by $12.4 million in 2010. Compared to Federal Home Loan Bank advances, brokered certificates of deposit were found to be less costly at the time and they do not require collateralization.

Regulatory Action

On December 17, 2009, following an off-site review by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a resolution agreeing to, among other things, seek and obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Bank at least thirty days before taking any of the following actions:

The payment of corporate dividends;

The payment of interest on trust preferred securities beginning after the interest payment due December 15, 2009;

Any increase in debt or issuance of trust preferred obligations; and

The redemption of Company stock.

Adopt a capital plan to increase its Tier 1 Leverage Ratio to 8.50% by June 30, 2010 and to maintain a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 12.00%;

Adopt a written plan to lower classified assets;

Formulate and implement a written profit plan;

Receive prior written consent from the FDIC and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions before declaring or paying any dividends;

Strive to reduce total holdings of bank-owned life insurance; and

Furnish quarterly progress reports regarding the Bank’s compliance with all provisions of the resolution.

The Bank is currently in compliance with the provisions of the resolution.

Strategic Summary

The current economic downturn has created a challenging operating environment for all businesses, and, in particular, the financial services industry. Management continues its focus on maintaining and improving overall credit quality, liquidity and capital. Earnings pressure is expected to continue as the deterioration in credit quality resulting from the weak economy is likely to continue. Competition for deposits continues to be strong, although the low interest rate environment and disciplined pricing has allowed the Bank to significantly reduce its cost of deposits while experiencing a lower reduction of yield on interest-earning assets, resulting in an improvement in the Company’s interest rate spread and net interest income. Management is also focused on reducing noninterest expense through aggressive cost control measures including freezing hiring, job restructuring and eliminating certain discretionary expenditures.

Achievement of the Company’s financial objectives will require obtaining new loans and deposits in our traditional markets, generating significant loan and deposit growth from our new offices in Hamilton County and continuing the expansion of our commercial lending strategy in the greater Indianapolis metropolitan area.

We believe the long-term success of the Company is dependent on its ability to provide its customers with financial advice and solutions that assist them in achieving their goals. We will accomplish this mission by:

being our customer’s first choice for financial advice and solutions;

informing and educating customers on the basics of money management; and

understanding and meeting customer’s financial needs throughout their life cycle.

Serving customers requires the commitment of all Ameriana Bank associates to provide exceptional service and sound advice. We believe these qualities will differentiate us from our competitors and increase profitability and shareholder value.

To meet these long-term goals, we have undertaken the following strategies:

Build Relationships with Our Customers. Banking is essentially a transaction business. Nevertheless, numerous industry studies have shown that customers want a relationship with their bank and banker based on trust and sound advice. Based on this information, we are focusing our efforts on building relationships and improving our products per household.

Achieve Superior Customer Service. We continually measure customer satisfaction through post-transaction surveys. Our evaluations include telephone and in-person customer surveys, as well as other in-store performance metrics. We have enhanced our efforts to improve our service by establishing a training department and formalizing our service standards.

Develop and Deliver Fully Integrated Financial Advice and Comprehensive Solutions to Meet Customer Life Events. We are re-packaging our products around customer “life events” such as planning for retirement, buying a home and saving for college education rather than traditional transaction accounts, savings and consumer loan products.

Establish Strong Brand Awareness. We believe it is important to create a value proposition that is relevant, understood and valued by our customers. Accordingly, we are continuing our efforts through our marketing, customer communications, training, and design of our Banking Centers to position Ameriana Bank as a premier service brand.

Use Technology to Expand Our Customer Base. We continue to enhance our electronic delivery of products and services to our customers. Our technology-based services include business sweep products and cash management services, business remote item capture and on-line consumer loan and account opening. These services will allow us to reach more customers effectively and conveniently.

Develop an Innovative Delivery System. We believe our banking centers must evolve into “Financial Stores” that showcase our financial products and offer our customers an environment that is conducive to interacting with knowledgeable Ameriana Bank associates and with our technology-based products.

Increase Market Share in Existing Markets and Expand into New Markets. We believe there is significant opportunity to increase our products per household with existing customers and attract new customers in our existing and new markets. Further, we believe there are opportunities to gain market share in new markets and have developed an expansion strategy to accomplish this. As part of our expansion strategy, the Company opened three new full-service banking centers in Hamilton County, which lies just north of Marion County and Indianapolis. The new offices in Fishers, Carmel, and Westfield opened in October 2008, December 2008 and May 2009, respectively. In addition, the Company purchased a site in Plainfield, which will enhance our presence on the west side of Indianapolis and our existing office in Avon. Plans to begin construction of the Plainfield office have been put on hold until it is determined that the economy and other conditions warrant the required investment. Until economic conditions improve, the Bank will not continue the strategy of acquiring additional locations for development of full-service banking centers to increase our footprint in Marion County and surrounding Indianapolis metropolitan area and to boost our visibility in this market.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in detail in the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The financial position and results of operations can be affected by these estimates and assumptions, and such estimates and assumptions are integral to the understanding of reported results. Critical accounting policies are those policies that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and they require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective or complex.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses provides coverage for probable losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses each quarter based on changes, if any, in underwriting activities, the loan portfolio composition (including product mix and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), trends in loan performance, regulatory guidance and economic factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires the use of significant management estimates. Many factors can affect management’s estimates of specific and expected losses, including volatility of default probabilities, rating migrations, loss severity and economic and political conditions. The allowance is increased through provisions charged to operating earnings and reduced by net charge-offs.

The Company determines the amount of the allowance based on relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. The allowance recorded for commercial loans is based on reviews of individual credit relationships and an analysis of the migration of commercial loans and actual loss experience. The allowance recorded for noncommercial loans is based on an analysis of loan mix, risk characteristics of the portfolio, fraud loss and bankruptcy experiences and historical losses, adjusted for current trends, for each loan category or group of loans. The allowance for loan losses relating to impaired loans is based on the loan’s observable market price, the collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans, or the discounted cash flows using the loan’s effective interest rate.

Regardless of the extent of the Company’s analysis of customer performance, portfolio trends or risk management processes, certain inherent but undetected losses are probable within the loan portfolio. This is due to several factors, including inherent delays in obtaining information regarding a customer’s financial condition or changes in their unique business conditions, the subjective nature of individual loan evaluations, collateral assessments and the interpretation of economic trends. Volatility of economic or customer-specific conditions affecting the identification and estimation of losses for larger, nonhomogeneous credits and the sensitivity of assumptions utilized to establish allowances for homogenous groups of loans are among other factors. The Company estimates a range of inherent losses related to the existence of these exposures. The estimates are based upon the Company’s evaluation of risk associated with the commercial and consumer allowance levels and the estimated impact of the current economic environment.

Mortgage Servicing Rights. Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) associated with loans originated and sold, where servicing is retained, are capitalized and included in other intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The value of the capitalized servicing rights represents the present value of the future servicing fees arising from the right to service loans in the portfolio. Critical accounting policies for MSRs relate to the initial valuation and subsequent impairment tests. The methodology used to determine the valuation of MSRs requires the development and use of a number of estimates, including anticipated principal amortization and prepayments of that principal balance. Events that may significantly affect the estimates used are changes in interest rates, mortgage loan prepayment speeds and the payment performance of the underlying loans. The carrying value of the MSRs is periodically reviewed for impairment based on a determination of fair value. Impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance and is recorded as amortization of intangible assets.

Valuation Measurements. Valuation methodologies often involve a significant degree of judgment, particularly when there are no observable active markets for the items being valued. Investment securities and residential mortgage loans held for sale are carried at fair value, as defined by FASB fair value guidance, which requires key judgments affecting how fair value for such assets and liabilities is determined. In addition, the outcomes of valuations have a direct bearing on the carrying amounts for goodwill and intangible assets. To determine the values of these assets and liabilities, as well as the extent to which related assets may be impaired, management makes assumptions and estimates related to discount rates, asset returns, prepayment rates and other factors. The use of different discount rates or other valuation assumptions could produce significantly different results, which could affect the Company’s results of operations.

Income Tax Accounting. We file a consolidated federal income tax return. The provision for income taxes is based upon income in our consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on our deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

Under U.S. GAAP, a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of the realizability of the deferred tax asset is highly subjective and dependent upon judgment concerning our evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, our forecasts of future income, applicable tax planning strategies, and assessments of current and future economic and business conditions. Positive evidence includes the existence of taxes paid in available carry-back years as well as the probability that taxable income will be generated in future periods, while negative evidence includes any cumulative losses in the current year and prior two years and general business and economic trends. At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we determined that our existing valuation allowance was adequate, largely based on available tax planning strategies and our projections of future taxable income. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to increase the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Any required increase to the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period and could have a significant impact on our future earnings.

Positions taken in our tax returns may be subject to challenge by the taxing authorities upon examination. The benefit of an uncertain tax position is initially recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions are both initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not of being realized upon settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. Differences between our position and the position of tax authorities could result in a reduction of a tax benefit or an increase to a tax liability, which could adversely affect our future income tax expense.

We believe our tax policies and practices are critical accounting policies because the determination of our tax provision and current and deferred tax assets and liabilities have a material impact our net income and the carrying value of our assets. We believe our tax liabilities and assets are adequate and are properly recorded in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2010.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets decreased $11.9 million, or 2.7%, to $429.7 million at December 31, 2010 from $441.6 million at December 31, 2009 primarily due to weak commercial loan demand resulting in a reduction in the Bank’s loan portfolio, and also due to efforts to reduce the size of the balance sheet to meet regulatory capital requirements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $7.9 million to $11.7 million at December 31, 2010 from $19.6 million at December 31, 2009. Cash on hand and in other institutions decreased $2.6 million, or 41.5%, to $3.7 million at December 31, 2010. This change was primarily due to a $2.6 million decrease in our book balance for the noninterest-earning piece of our Federal Reserve Bank account, which represents electronic deposits not yet credited. Interest-bearing deposits decreased $5.2 million, or 39.3%, to $8.1 million at December 31, 2010, with the totals for both year end dates consisting predominantly of balances with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

Securities

Investment securities available for sale increased 7.7% to $38.6 million at December 31, 2010 from $35.8 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was due primarily to purchases of mortgage-backed securities that exceeded the total for sales of municipal securities, and sales and principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities during 2010. Municipal securities decreased to $2.2 million through total sales of $1.2 million that were designed primarily to support the Bank’s income tax strategies. Mortgage-backed securities purchases of $18.9 million, partially offset by principal repayments and sales, resulted in an increase in the total fair value of Ginnie Mae and GSE mortgage-backed pass-through securities of $4.4 million to $29.4 million at December 31, 2010.

All mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 2010 are insured by either Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. At December 31, 2010, all investments remained classified as available for sale. All of our investments are evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment, and such impairment, if any, is recognized as a charge to earnings. There were no other than temporarily impaired investment securities as of December 31, 2010.

Loans

Net loans receivable totaled $312.7 million at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $8.8 million, or 2.7%, from $321.5 million at December 31, 2009. The lack of portfolio growth was due primarily to the impact of the weak economy on commercial loan demand, coupled with management’s decision to sell a significant portion of new single-family mortgage loans, in addition to a bulk sale of seasoned mortgage portfolio loans, in the secondary market.

Residential real estate loans increased $6.2 million to $167.2 million at December 31, 2010, from $161.0 million at December 31, 2009. New production involved a mix of owner-occupied single-family and investment property loans, as well as a blend of products that included both fixed-rate and variable-rate pricing. During 2010, the Bank originated $50.0 million in residential real estate loans, including home equity loans, and sold $17.0 million into the secondary market.

Commercial real estate loans decreased $9.6 million, or 9.2%, to $94.6 million at December 31, 2010, from $104.2 million at December 31, 2009. Commercial loans and leases decreased $1.2 million to $22.4 million at December 31, 2010 from $23.6 million at December 31, 2009. The overall decline in these two categories of commercial loans for 2010 was reflective of weak demand related to the impact of economic conditions on the balance sheets of potential borrowers. Commercial real estate and other commercial loans added in 2010 totaled $18.2 million, with $18.2 million in originations and no purchases.

The Bank’s construction loans, which consist primarily of commercial properties, decreased $4.1 million to $26.8 million during 2010, primarily as a result of a reduced emphasis on this product by the Bank that was due mostly to considerations related to the state of the economy. Construction loan originations in 2010 totaled $8.6 million.

On December 31, 2010, the Bank had $2.7 million in loans to local municipalities, compared to $2.8 million at December 31, 2009. Municipal loans are usually added through a competitive bid process. New municipal loans totaled $155,000 for 2010.

Consumer loans declined $60,000 to $3.9 million at December 31, 2010 from $4.0 million at December 31, 2009. This decrease reflected the impact of the economy on the Bank’s lending growth objectives. The Bank originated $2.4 million of consumer loans in 2010.

New loan volume in 2010 totaled $79.4 million, compared to $118.4 million in 2009. New residential loans, including $3.0 million of construction loans, decreased to $53.0 million in 2010 from $70.2 million in 2009. Commercial loan, commercial real estate, commercial construction and municipal loan additions in 2010 totaled $24.0 million compared to $46.0 million in 2009. New consumer loans totaled $2.4 million in 2010 compared to $2.2 million in 2009.

We generally retain loan servicing on loans sold. Loans we serviced for investors, primarily Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, totaled approximately $116.2 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $115.5 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was due primarily to sales of refinanced mortgages that resulted from the low interest rate environment for residential mortgages in 2010. Loans sold that we service generate a steady source of fee income, with servicing fees ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum of the loan principal amount.

Credit Quality

Nonperforming loans increased $2.2 million to $11.2 million at December 31, 2010 from $9.0 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to four credits totaling $4.0 million that included a $1.3 million commercial development loan, a $1.1 million residential condominium construction loan, and two loans totaling $1.6 million on section 42 low income housing tax credit properties.

We recorded net charge-offs of $1.7 million in 2010, compared to net charge-offs of $1.2 million in 2009. Total charge-offs were $2.0 million and $1.2 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Total recoveries in 2010 were $244,000 while total recoveries were $64,000 in 2009.

The allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans was 1.33% at December 31, 2010 and 1.23% at December 31, 2009. Although there was a significant increase in nonperforming loans in the Bank’s loan portfolio during 2010 due primarily to the continuing weak economy, as a result of our review of collateral positions and historic loss ratios, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover all incurred and probable losses inherent in the portfolio at December 31, 2010.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment of $14.7 million at December 31, 2010 represented a $772,000 decrease from $15.5 million at December 31, 2009. The net decrease was a result of $1.0 million of depreciation exceeding net capital expenditures of $238,000 during the period.

Stock in Federal Home Loan Bank

The $528,000 decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank stock to $5.1 million at December 31, 2010 was the result of a stock repurchase program initiated by the Federal Home Loan Bank in 2010.

Goodwill

Goodwill of $649,000 at December 31, 2010 was unchanged from December 31, 2009. $457,000 of the goodwill relates to deposits associated with a banking center acquired on February 27, 1998, and $192,000 is the result of two separate acquisitions of insurance businesses. The results of the Bank’s impairment tests have reflected a fair value for the deposits at this banking center that exceeds the goodwill, and a fair value of the two insurance agency books of business purchased that exceeds the associated goodwill.

Cash Value of Life Insurance

We have investments in life insurance on employees and directors, with a balance or cash surrender value of $25.4 million and $24.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010 and 2009. The majority of these policies were purchased in 1999. Some policies with lower returns were exchanged in 2007 as part of a restructuring of the program. The nontaxable increase in cash surrender value of life insurance was $875,000 in 2010, compared to $869,000 in 2009.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned of $9.1 million at December 31, 2010, represented an increase of $3.6 million from December 31, 2009, with 23 properties added and 23 sales during the year. The increase was due primarily to the second quarter migration of a $3.4 million commercial real estate credit from the non-performing loan classification that represented a retail center and two adjacent lots located in Fortville, Indiana.

Other Assets

Other assets were $11.5 million at December 31, 2010, compared to $12.2 million at December 31, 2009. The net reduction of $682,000 was primarily the result of a $719,000 decrease in prepaid FDIC insurance premiums, a $354,000 decrease in accrued interest and dividends receivable on loans, investment securities and FHLB stock, and a $211,000 decrease in receivables from customers for loan related expenses, offset in part by a $671,000 increase in the daily receivable related to the Bank’s sweep investment product.

Deposits

The following table shows deposit changes by category:

(Dollars in thousands)
December 31,	2010		2009		$ Change			% Change
Noninterest-bearing deposits	$	34,769	$	29,531	$	5,238			17.74	%

Totals	$	337,978	$	338,381	$	(403	)		(0.12	)%

Nonmaturity deposits increased $9.7 million, or 6.2%, to $165.2 million at December 31, 2010 from $155.5 million at December 31, 2009. $7.4 million of the 2010 increase related to checking accounts, noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing, net of a $1.2 million decrease in public funds checking balances. The growth in retail nonmaturity deposits resulted primarily from the Bank’s increased focus on sales activities coupled with its banking center expansion strategy, and the reaction of individuals to market conditions related to the depressed economic environment.

Non-brokered certificates of deposit decreased $20.4 million, due in part to certain customers transferring their funds to non-maturity products, but mostly a result of Bank strategies that were designed to not pursue the retention of the more rate sensitive non-core deposits.

$10.4 million in brokered certificates of deposit were added in December of 2010, as they were found to be more attractive than other wholesale funding alternatives with regard to cost and collateral considerations. These certificates have a weighted average original term of 16.7 months and a weighted average all-in cost (interest rate plus broker fee) of 0.74%. $5.1 million of these certificate accounts have original terms of 21 to 24 months, but the agreements provide the Bank with a call option that becomes effective after six months.

Borrowings

Borrowings decreased $12.4 million to $51.8 million at December 31, 2010 from $64.2 million at December 31, 2009, due primarily to the Bank’s fourth quarter decision to use brokered certificates of deposit as an alternative to new Federal Home Loan Bank advances. At December 31, 2010, our borrowings consisted of FHLB advances totaling $34.0 million, one $7.5 million repurchase agreement, and subordinated debentures of $10.3 million. The subordinated debentures were issued on March 7, 2006, and mature on March 7, 2036.

Yields Earned and Rates Paid

The following tables set forth the weighted average yields earned on interest-earning assets and the weighted average interest rates paid on the interest-bearing liabilities, together with the net yield on interest-earning assets. Yields are calculated on a tax-equivalent basis. The tax-equivalent adjustment was $100,000, $256,000 and $537,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table sets forth certain information regarding changes in interest income, interest expense and net interest income for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to: (1) changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (2) changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionally based on the changes due to the rate and the changes due to volume. No material amounts of loan fees or out-of-period interest are included in the table. Nonaccrual loans were not excluded in the calculations. The information shown below was adjusted for the tax-equivalent benefit of bank qualified non-taxable municipal securities and municipal loans. The tax equivalent adjustment was $100,000, $256,000 and $537,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Drafts Payable

Drafts payable of $1.6 million at December 31, 2010 represented an increase of $674,000 from $920,000 at December 31, 2009. This difference will vary and is a function of the dollar amount of checks issued near period end and the time required for those checks to clear.

Other Liabilities

Other liabilities decreased $478,000 to $5.0 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to a $302,000 decrease in interest payable on deposit and borrowings.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity of $33.3 million at December 31, 2010 was $676,000 higher than the total at December 31, 2009. This increase resulted primarily from $553,000 in net income and a $240,000 increase in the accumulated other comprehensive income component of equity, partially offset by $120,000 in dividends to shareholders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2010 Compared to 2009

Net income

The Company recorded net income of $553,000 for 2010, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $264,000, or $(0.09) per diluted share, for 2009. This increase of $817,000 resulted primarily from a significant improvement in net interest income for 2010. The following is a summary of changes in the components of net income for 2010 compared to 2009:

The Company produced a $722,000, or 5.7%, increase in net interest income, despite an 11.4% decrease in average interest-earning assets that resulted primarily from balance sheet restructuring strategies initiated in the second half of 2009.

A provision for loan losses of $1.9 million was recorded during 2010, compared to $2.2 million for the same period of 2009, a decrease of $247,000.

Other income for 2010 was $5.6 million, a $114,000 increase over the $5.5 million recorded for 2009.

$16.8 million in other expense for 2010 represented a $302,000, or 1.8%, reduction from the 2009 total of $17.1 million.

The income tax benefit of $242,000 for 2010 resulted primarily from approximately $1.1 million of tax-exempt income from bank owned life insurance, municipal securities and municipal loans. The income tax benefit of $810,000 for 2009 resulted from the pre-tax loss of $1.1 million coupled with the significant amount of tax-exempt income from bank-owned life insurance, municipal securities and municipal loans.

For a quarterly breakdown of earnings, see Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Interest Income

We derive the majority of our income from net interest income. The following table shows a breakdown of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for 2010 compared to 2009. The tax equivalent adjustment was $100,000 and $256,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, based on a tax rate of 34%.

(Dollars in thousands)
Years ended December 31,	2010					2009
	Interest		Yield/Rate			Interest		Yield/Rate			Change

Interest and fees on loans	$	18,519		5.84	%	$	19,434		5.79	%	$	(915	)
Other interest income		1,566		2.85			3,163		3.74			(1,597	)
Total interest income		20,085		5.40			22,597		5.38			(2,512	)
Interest on deposits		4,185		1.40			6,406		1.96			(2,221	)
Interest on borrowings		2,389		4.01			3,246		4.11			(857	)
Total interest expense		6,574		1.83			9,652		2.38			(3,078	)
Net interest income	$	13,511				$	12,945				$	566
Net interest spread				3.57	%				3.00	%
Net interest margin				3.63	%				3.08	%

The growth in net interest income, as shown in the table above, was accomplished with lower average interest-earning assets, as the Bank benefited from certain market conditions in 2010 that allowed it to decrease its cost of funds, primarily through the repricing of deposit accounts in a relatively stable low interest rate environment. Our interest-bearing liabilities have shorter overall maturities and reprice more frequently to market conditions than our interest-earning assets. For a discussion on interest rate risk see “Interest Rate Risk.”

The Company’s net interest margin on a fully-tax equivalent basis increased 55 basis points to 3.63% for 2010 from 3.08% for 2009.

Tax-exempt interest for 2010 was $222,000 compared to $514,000 for 2009. Tax-exempt interest is primarily from bank-qualified municipal securities and municipal loans. Total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis of $20.1 million for 2010 represented a decrease of $2.5 million compared to $22.6 million for 2009. This reduction resulted primarily from a decrease in average interest-earning assets related to the Bank’s balance sheet restructuring strategies. Total interest expense for 2010 decreased $3.1 million compared to 2009, as the Bank took advantage of market opportunities to reprice and sharply reduce its cost of interest-bearing deposits, and reduced total borrowings, also as part of its balance sheet restructuring strategy. For further information, see “– Financial Condition – Rate/Volume Analysis.”

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents the current period credit or cost associated with maintaining an appropriate allowance for loan losses. Periodic fluctuations in the provision for loan losses result from management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is dependent upon many factors, including loan growth, net charge-offs, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquencies, assessment by management, third parties and banking regulators of the quality of the loan portfolio, the value of the underlying collateral on problem loans and the general economic conditions in our market area. We believe the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

We had a provision for loan losses of $1.9 million for 2010 compared to a provision of $2.2 million for 2009. The provisions for both 2010 and 2009 reflected the increase in nonperforming loans and elevated level of charge-offs, and the increasing pressure of current economic conditions on credit quality. The allowance to total loans ratio was 1.33% at December 31, 2010, compared to 1.23% at December 31, 2009.

Other Income

The $114,000 increase in total other income to $5.6 million in 2010, compared to $5.5 million for 2009, resulted primarily from the net of the following changes:

A $147,000, or 7.9%, increase in fees and service charges from deposit account relationships, including a $121,000 increase in debit card fees, that reflected the Bank’s success in growing retail checking accounts;

A $115,000 increase in commissions earned on insurance and brokerage sales that resulted primarily from the July 1, 2009 purchase of a local insurance business;

A $515,000 increase in gains on sales of loans and servicing rights, due primarily to the second quarter $560,000 gain from the $10.9 million bulk sale of seasoned performing residential mortgage loans;

A $725,000 decrease in net losses from sales and write-downs of OREO and other repossessed assets, from $1.1 million for 2009 to $360,000 for 2010;

A $226,000 increase in OREO income related primarily to additional rental income received on a foreclosed apartment complex which was recently upgraded and strategically marketed, coupled with rental income from a commercial retail property acquired through foreclosure in the second quarter of 2010; reduced in part by

An $80,000 increase in the loss from a limited partnership investment in real estate qualifying for federal tax credits, from $62,000 for 2009 to $142,000 for 2010;

A $192,000 gain from the liquidation of a minority interest in Family Financial, an unconsolidated investment that focused on credit-related insurance products that occurred in 2009; and

Net gains on sales of available-for-sale securities declining $1.4 million from $1.7 million for 2009 from $58.6 million in sales to $303,000 for 2010 from $9.8 million in sales. The 2009 sales related mostly to the balance sheet restructuring strategies implemented in the second half of the year.

Other Expense

The Company recorded a $302,000 decrease in total other expense to $16.8 million for 2010, compared to $17.1 million for 2009, due primarily to the following major differences:

A decrease of $92,000, or 1.0%, in salaries and employee benefits that was due mostly to a $213,000 reduction in salaries and payroll taxes, as the benefit from the elimination of positions through attrition exceeded additional salary costs associated with a new banking center and normal annual salary increases for employees. Health insurance costs for 2010 decreased by $66,000, but the Company incurred a $172,000 increase in funding costs for the frozen multi-employer defined benefit retirement plan. In light of the impact of poor economic conditions on the earnings of the Company, management agreed to forego salary increases for 2010;

Net occupancy expense for 2010 decreased $46,000 from 2009, due primarily to a $93,000 decrease in real estate taxes that was primarily the result of successful challenges of prior years’ assessments, in addition to lower tax assessments for the current year. The decrease in real estate tax expense was offset in part by a $52,000 increase in office building rent that was related primarily to a full year of rent for the newest banking center, compared to a partial year of rent expense in 2009;

A decrease of $49,000 for furniture and equipment expense that resulted from several cost reduction decisions;

A decrease of $61,000 in legal and professional fees from $623,000 for 2009 to $562,000 for 2010, that was due primarily to a $68,000 reduction from $114,000 to $45,000 in legal fees and professional fees at the holding company;

A $90,000 decrease in FDIC insurance premiums and assessments that was related primarily to the industry-wide special assessment that resulted in a $225,000 expense in 2009, which was partly offset by higher total net premiums in 2010 due to industry-wide increases and the exhaustion of the one-time credit in 2009;

A $45,000 decrease in the printing and office supplies expense that resulted primarily from several cost reduction decisions;

A $183,000 reduction in marketing expense that reflected an expense reduction initiative implemented by Bank management in the second half of 2009; and

A $166,000 reduction in other that resulted primarily from the $292,000 expense reversal related to the elimination of a directors’ post-retirement benefit plan, reduced by $101,000 in loan expense resulting from the write-off of receivables from loan customers that represented advances for taxes and various other items. The receivables were deemed to be uncollectible based on current information.

The decreases above were offset in part by:

Other real estate owned expense of $954,000 for 2010 that represented a $419,000 increase over the total for 2009, and was related primarily to the larger average size of the portfolio of properties. The total for 2010 included operating expenses on the foreclosed apartment complex and the commercial retail property that together provided $479,000 of rental income.

Income Tax Expense

We recorded an income tax benefit of $242,000 on pre-tax income of $311,000 for 2010, compared to an income tax benefit of $810,000 on a $1.1 million pre-tax loss for 2009. Both years had a significant amount of tax-exempt BOLI income, and tax-exempt income from municipal loans and municipal securities.

We have a deferred state tax asset of $1.6 million that is primarily the result of operating losses sustained since 2003 for state tax purposes. We started recording a valuation allowance against our current period state income tax benefit in 2005 due to our concern that we may not be able to use more than the tax asset already recorded on the books without modifying the use of AIMI, our investment subsidiary, which was liquidated effective December 31, 2009. Operating income from AIMI was not subject to state income taxes under state law, and is the primary reason for the tax asset. The valuation allowance was $879,000 at December 31, 2010.

The Company had a deferred federal tax asset of $4.3 million at December 31, 2010, that was composed of $2.1 million of tax benefit from a net operating loss carryforward of $6.2 million, $1.2 million related to temporary differences between book and tax income, and $1.0 million in tax credits. The federal loss carryforward expires in 2026, and the tax credits begin to expire in 2023. Included in the $1.0 million of tax credits available to offset future federal income tax are approximately $303,000 of alternative minimum tax credits which have no expiration date. Management believes that the Company will be able to utilize the benefits recorded for loss carryforwards and credits within the allotted time periods.

The Bank has initiated several strategies designed to expedite the use of both the deferred state tax asset and the deferred federal tax asset. Through a series of sales of tax-exempt municipal securities, that segment of the investment portfolio has already been reduced by $32.3 million, or 93.6%, from $34.5 million at December 31, 2006 to $2.2 million at December 31, 2010. The proceeds from these sales have been reinvested in taxable financial instruments. The Bank is pursuing a sale/leaseback transaction that is expected to result in a material taxable gain on its office properties, and also allow the Bank to convert nonearning assets to earnings assets that will produce taxable income. Additionally, the Bank is exploring options related to reducing its current investment in tax-exempt bank owned life insurance policies, that involve the reinvestment of the proceeds in taxable financial instruments with a similar or greater risk-adjusted after-tax yield. Sales of banking centers not important to long-term growth objectives that would result in taxable gains and reduced operating expenses are also being considered by the Bank.

The effective tax rate was (77.8)% in 2010, which resulted from $311,000 in pre-tax income coupled with a $242,000 income tax benefit, compared to an effective tax rate of 75.4% for 2009 that resulted from a $1.1 million loss before income taxes and a $781,000 income tax benefit. The primary difference in the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rates in both 2010 and 2009 relates to cash value of life insurance, municipal loans and municipal securities income.

See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information relating to income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future obligations of a short-term nature. Historically, funds provided by operations, loan repayments and new deposits have been our principal sources of liquid funds. In addition, we have the ability to obtain funds through the sale of new mortgage loans, through borrowings from the FHLB system, and through the brokered certificates market. We regularly adjust the investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability program.

The Company is a separate entity and apart from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for the payment of dividends declared for its shareholders, and the payment of interest on its subordinated debentures. At times, the Company has repurchased its stock. Substantially all of the Company’s operating cash is obtained from subsidiary service fees and dividends. Payment of such dividends to the Company by the Bank is limited under Indiana law. Additionally, as part of a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors of the Bank on July 26, 2010, the Bank cannot declare or pay any dividends without the prior written consent of the FDIC and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. See “—Regulatory Action.” The Company believes that such restriction will not have an impact on the Company’s ability to meet its ongoing cash obligations.

At December 31, 2010, we had $6.1 million in loan commitments outstanding and $50.5 million of additional commitments for line of credit receivables.

Certificates of deposit due within one year of December 31, 2010 totaled $98.8 million, or 29.2% of total deposits. If these maturing certificates of deposit do not remain with us, other sources of funds must be used, including other certificates of deposit, brokered CDs, and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than currently paid on the certificates of deposit due on or before December 31, 2011. However, based on past experiences we believe that a significant portion of the certificates of deposit will remain. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered. We held $10.4 million of brokered CDs at December 31, 2010, and none at December 31, 2009.

Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and purchase of securities. In 2010, our loan originations totaled $79.4 million. We did not purchase any loans from brokers or other financial institutions in 2010.

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts, including brokered certificates of deposit, and FHLB advances. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products we offer, and our local competitors and other factors. Deposit account balances decreased by $403,000 in 2010. We had FHLB advances of $34.0 million and $46.4 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements set by the FDIC, including a risk-based capital measure. The Company is also subject to similar capital requirements set by the Federal Reserve Bank. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At December 31, 2010, both the Company and the Bank exceeded all of regulatory capital requirements and are considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded on our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

We do not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and related data presented in this report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration of changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

Virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or at the same rate as changes in the prices of goods and services, which are directly affected by inflation, although interest rates may fluctuate in response to perceived changes in the rate of inflation.

Current Accounting Issues

FASB ASU 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860); Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets: ASU 2009-16 requires more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continued exposure to the risks related to transferred assets. The Company adopted ASU 2009-16 effective January 1, 2010 and adoption did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 revises two disclosure requirements concerning fair value measurements and clarifies two others. It requires separate presentation of significant transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the reasons for such transfers. It will also require the presentation of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within Level 3 on a gross basis rather than a net basis. The amendments also clarify that disclosures should be disaggregated by class of asset or liability and that disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques should be provided for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. The Company’s disclosures about fair value measurements are presented in Note G - Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities. These new disclosure requirements were effective for the period ended March 31, 2010, except for the requirement concerning gross presentation of Level 3 activity, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. There was no material effect to the Company’s financial statement disclosure upon adoption of this ASU.

ASU No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855) – Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements: ASU 2010-09 amends the subsequent events disclosure guidance. The amendments include a definition of an SEC filer, requires an SEC filer or conduit bond obligor to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued, and removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. ASU 2010-09 was effective upon issuance for us. The impact of ASU 2010-09 on our disclosures is reflected in Subsequent Events footnote.

FASB ASU 2010-18 - Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset: This Update clarifies that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under Subtopic 310-30, which provides guidance on accounting for acquired loans that have evidence of credit deterioration upon acquisition, do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. The amendments do not affect the accounting for loans under the scope of Subtopic 310-30 that are not accounted for within pools. Loans accounted for individually under Subtopic 310-30 continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions within Subtopic 310-40. The Company has adopted ASU 2010-18, but does not anticipate that its adoption will have a material impact on its financial statements.

For public companies, ASU 2010-20 requires certain disclosures as of the end of a reporting period effective for periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Other required disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The impact of ASU 2010-20 on our disclosures is reflected in the Loan footnote.

ASU No. 2011-01: The amendments in ASU No. 2011-01 temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the Board time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL

PROCEDURES AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The internal control process has been designed under our supervision to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, utilizing the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 is effective.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, transactions and dispositions of assets; and provide reasonable assurances that: (1) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; (2) receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and (3) unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements are prevented or timely detected.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Stockholders

Ameriana Bancorp

New Castle, Indiana

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ameriana Bancorp as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits also included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ameriana Bancorp as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(table dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)

1.	Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ameriana Bancorp (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ameriana Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ameriana Financial Services, Inc., and Ameriana Insurance Agency, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. A third wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, Ameriana Investment Management, Inc., was liquidated by the Bank effective December 31, 2009, with all of its assets and liabilities transferred into the Bank at that time.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure 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.

The Company is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of the Bank and its subsidiaries. The Bank provides various banking services and engages in loan servicing activities for investors and operates in a single significant business segment. The Bank is subject to the regulation of the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). The Company’s gross revenues are substantially earned from the various banking services provided by the Bank. The Company also earns brokerage and insurance commissions from the services provided by the other subsidiaries.

The Bank generates loans and receives deposits from customers located primarily in east central Indiana. Loans are generally secured by specific items of collateral including real property, business assets, or consumer assets. The Company has sold various loans to investors while retaining the servicing rights.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, cash equivalents consisted primarily of interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

The only commercial bank holding one of the Company’s cash accounts is participating in the FDIC’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program. Under the program, through December 31, 2010 all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts at these institutions were fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount in the account. Pursuant to legislation enacted in 2010, the FDIC will fully insure all noninterest-bearing transactions accounts beginning December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012 at all FDIC-insured institutions.

The FDIC’s insurance limit increase to $250,000 was made permanent in 2010. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s cash accounts exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $9.4 million, with $9.4 million held by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and $20,000 held by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, and both banks not being insured.

Investment Securities

Debt securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost. Debt securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported separately in accumulated comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded using the interest method as interest income from securities. Realized gains and losses are recorded as net security gains (losses). Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined on the specific identification method.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(table dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairment (ASC 320-10). When the Company does not intend to sell a debt security, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it recognizes the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income. For held-to-maturity debt securities, the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment recorded in other comprehensive income for the noncredit portion of a previous other-than-temporary impairment is amortized prospectively over the remaining life of the security on the basis of the timing of future estimated cash flows of the security.

Prior to the adoption of the recent accounting guidance on April 1, 2009, management considered, in determining whether other-than-temporary impairment exists, (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

For equity securities, when the Company has decided to sell an impaired available-for-sale security and the entity does not expect the fair value of the security to fully recover before the expected time of sale, the security is deemed other-than-temporarily impaired in the period in which the decision to sell is made. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the impairment is deemed other than temporary even if a decision to sell has not been made.

Valuation Measurements: Valuation methodologies often involve a significant degree of judgment, particularly when there are no observable active markets for the items being valued. In determining fair values for investment securities and residential mortgage loans held for sale, fair values as defined in ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) require key judgments affecting how fair value for such assets and liabilities are determined. In addition, the outcomes of valuations have a direct bearing on the carrying amounts for goodwill and intangibles assets. To determine the values of these assets and liabilities, as well as the extent to which related assets may be impaired, management makes assumptions and estimates related to discount rates, asset returns, prepayment rates and other factors. The use of different discount rates or other valuation assumptions could produce significantly different results, which could affect the Company’s results of operations.

Stock in Federal Home Loan Bank is the amount of stock the Company is required to own as determined by regulation. This stock is carried at cost and represents the amount at which it can be sold back to the Federal Home Loan Bank (the “FHLB”). The Company reviewed the FHLB stock and based on current performance of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, the Company determined there was no impairment of this stock at December 31, 2010.

Loans Held for Sale. Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to noninterest income. Gains and losses on loan sales are recorded in noninterest income, and direct loan origination costs and fees are deferred at origination of the loan and are recognized in noninterest income upon sale of the loan.

Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding. A loan is impaired when, based on current information or events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Payments with insignificant delays not exceeding 90 days outstanding are not considered impaired. Certain non-accrual and substantially delinquent loans may be considered to be impaired. Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status at 90 days past due and accrued interest is reversed against earnings, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. The Company considers its investment in one-to-four family residential loans and consumer loans to be homogeneous and, therefore, excluded from separate identification of evaluation of impairment. Interest income is accrued on the principal balances of loans. The accrual of interest on impaired and nonaccrual loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(table dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)

When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed when considered uncollectible. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received. Certain loan fees and direct costs are being deferred and amortized as an adjustment of yield on the loans over the contractual lives of the loans. When a loan is paid off or sold, any unamortized loan origination fee balance is credited to income.

Allowance for Loan Losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb inherent losses in the loan portfolio. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of the portfolio including consideration of past loan loss experience, current economic conditions, size, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, the probability of collecting all amounts due, and other relevant factors. Impaired loans are measured by the present value of expected future cash flows, or the fair value of the collateral of the loan, if collateral dependent. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. Management believes that as of December 31, 2010, the allowance for loan losses was adequate based on information then available. A worsening or protracted economic decline in the areas within which the Company operates would increase the likelihood of additional losses due to credit and market risks and could create the need for additional loss reserves.

Premises and Equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized.

Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. Subsequent increases in goodwill value are not recognized in the financial statements. There was no impairment of goodwill recognized in 2010 or 2009.

Other Real Estate Owned. Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net income or expense from foreclosed assets.

Earnings per Share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and divided by dilutive stock options outstanding during each year.

Mortgage Servicing Rights on originated loans are capitalized by estimating the fair value of the streams of net servicing revenues that will occur over the estimated life of the servicing arrangement. Capitalized servicing rights, which include purchased servicing rights, are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing revenues. The Bank engages a third party consulting firm to perform a valuation analysis of the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights at least annually. Based on the most recent valuation as of November 30, 2010, a valuation allowance of $19,000 was established.

Stock Options - The Company has stock plans which are described more fully in Note 10.

Income Tax in the consolidated Statements of Operations includes deferred income tax provisions or benefits for all significant temporary differences in recognizing income and expenses for financial reporting and income tax purposes. The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated tax returns. The parent company and subsidiaries are charged or given credit for income taxes as though separate returns were filed.

Certain investment securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $9,159,000 and $18,289,000, respectively, which is approximately 23.7% and 51.0% of the Company’s investment portfolio, respectively.

Should the impairment of any of these securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

The following table shows the Company’s investments’ gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

At December 31, 2010	Less Than 12 Months				12 Months or Longer				Total

	$	18,058	$	436	$	231	$	3	$	18,289	$	439

Mortgage-backed pass-through securities: The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by either Ginnie Mae, a U.S. Government agency, or by U.S. Government-sponsored entities, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, institutions which the U.S. Government has affirmed its commitment to support. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment.

Collateralized mortgage obligations: The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in collateralized mortgage obligations were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, a U. S. Government Agency. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Because the decline in market value was attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2010.

Municipal securities: There were five municipal securities in the Company’s investment portfolio at December 31, 2010, and two received an investment grade from both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. A third security received an investment grade from Moody’s, but was not rated by Standard & Poor’s. Two securities were not rated by either Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment.

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans of approximately $6,110,000 and $6,056,000. The outstanding commitments for 2010 included $3,630,000 for one-to-four family mortgage loans, $1,580,000 for commercial real estate loans and $900,000 for commercial loans. The outstanding commitments for 2009 included $3,028,000 for one-to-four family mortgage loans, $2,545,000 for commercial real estate loans and $483,000 for commercial loans. In addition, the Company had $49,485,000 and $49,080,000 of conditional commitments for lines of credit at December 31, 2010 and 2009. Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The same credit policies are used in making such commitments as are used for instruments that are included in the consolidated balance sheets. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer's credit worthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, real estate, equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. In addition, the Company had $10,832,000 and $10,335,000 of letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2010 and 2009. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.

Executive officers and directors of Ameriana Bancorp and significant subsidiaries and their related interests are loan clients of Ameriana Bancorp’s affiliate bank in the normal course of business. An analysis of the 2010 activity of these loans is as follows:

	2010			2009
Balance at beginning of year	$	11,087		$	5,830
New loans		245			8,410
Repayments		(226	)		(3,153	)
Balance at end of year	$	11,106		$	11,087

At December 31, 2010, unfunded commitment amounts related to the outstanding loan balances shown above totaled $322,000.

Narrative Description of Borrower Rating:

Grade 1 — Highest Quality (Pass)

This loan represents a credit extension of the highest quality. The borrower’s historic (at least five years) cash flows manifest extremely large and stable margins of coverage. Balance sheets are conservative, well capitalized, and liquid. After considering debt service for proposed and existing debt, projected cash flows continue to be strong and provide ample coverage. The borrower typically reflects broad geographic and product diversification and has broad access to alternative financial markets. Also included in this category may be loans secured by U.S. government securities, U.S. government agencies, highly rated municipal bonds, insured savings accounts, and insured certificates of deposit drawn on high quality banks.

Grade 2 — Excellent Quality (Pass)

This loan has a sound primary and secondary source of repayment. The borrower has proven access to alternative sources of financing. This loan carries a low level of risk, with minimal loss exposure. The borrower has the ability to perform according to the terms of the credit facility. The margins of cash flow coverage are strong. Loans secured by high quality traded stocks and lower grade municipal bonds (must still be investment grade).

Grade 3 — Good Quality (Pass)

This loan has a sound primary source of repayment. The borrower may have access to alternative sources of financing, but sources are not as widely available as they are to a higher graded borrower. This loan carries a normal level of risk, with minimal loss exposure. The borrower has the ability to perform according to the terms of the credit facility. The margins of cash flow coverage are satisfactory but vulnerable to more rapid deterioration than the higher quality loans. Real estate loans in this category display advance rates below the suggested maximum, debt coverage well in excess of the suggested level, or are leased beyond the loan term by a “credit” tenant.

Grade 4 — Acceptable Quality (Pass)

The borrower is a reasonable credit risk and demonstrates the ability to repay the debt from normal business operations. Risk factors may include reliability of margins and cash flows, liquidity, dependence on a single product or industry, cyclical trends, depth of management, or limited access to alternative financing sources. Historic financial information may indicate erratic performance, but current trends are positive. Quality of financial information is adequate, but is not as detailed and sophisticated as information found on higher graded loans. If adverse circumstances arise, the impact on the borrower may be significant. All small business loans extended based upon credit scoring should be classified in this category unless deterioration occurs, in which case they should bear one of the below mentioned grades.

Grade 5 - Marginal Quality (Pass)

The borrower is an acceptable credit risk and while it can demonstrate it has the ability to repay the debt from normal business operations, the coverage is not as strong as an Acceptable Quality loan. Weakness in one or more areas are defined. Risk factors would typically include a higher leverage position than desirable, low liquidity, weak or sporadic cash flow, the lack of reasonably current and complete financial information, and/or overall financial trends are erratic.

Grade 6 – Elevated Risk, Management Attention (Watch)

The borrower while at origination is not considered a high risk potential, there are characteristics related to the financial condition, and/or a level of concern regarding either or both the primary and secondary source of repayment, that may preclude this from being a pass credit. These credit facilities are considered “pass” credits but exhibit the potential of developing a more serious weakness in their operation going forward. Usually, a credit in this category will be upgraded or downgraded on further analysis within a short period of time.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(table dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)

Grade 7 — Special Mention

These credit facilities have developing weaknesses that deserve extra attention from the loan officer and other management personnel. If the developing weakness is not corrected or mitigated, there may be deterioration in the ability of the borrower to repay the Bank’s debt in the future. This grade should not be assigned to loans which bear certain peculiar risks normally associated with the type of financing involved, unless circumstances have caused the risk to increase to a level higher than would have been acceptable when the credit was originally approved. Loans where actual, not potential, weaknesses or problems are clearly evident and significant should generally be graded in one of the grade categories below.

Grade 8 — Substandard

Loans and other credit extensions bearing this grade are considered to be inadequately protected by the current sound worth and debt service capacity of the borrower or of any pledged collateral. These obligations, even if apparently protected by collateral value, have well-defined weaknesses related to adverse financial, managerial, economic, market, or political conditions which have clearly jeopardized repayment of principal and interest as originally intended. Furthermore, there is the possibility that some future loss will be sustained by the Bank if such weaknesses are not corrected. Clear loss potential, however, does not have to exist in any individual assets classified as substandard.

Grade 9 — Doubtful

Loans and other credit extensions graded “9” have all the weaknesses inherent in those graded “8,” with the added characteristic that the severity of the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable or improbable based upon currently existing facts, conditions, and values. The probability of some loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors, the amount of loss cannot be determined. Such pending factors could include merger or liquidation, additional capital injection, refinancing plans, or perfection of liens on additional collateral. Loans in this classification should be placed in nonaccrual status, with collections applied to principal on the bank’s books.

Grade 10 — Loss

Loans in this classification are considered uncollectible and cannot be justified as a viable asset of the bank. This classification does not mean the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but that it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off this loan even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future.

8.	Borrowings

Borrowings at December 31, 2010 and 2009 include Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaling $34,000,000 and $46,375,000 with a weighted-average rate of 3.70% and 3.84%. The advances are secured by a combination of first mortgage loans, investment securities and overnight deposits. At December 31, 2010, the pledged mortgage loans totaled $128,015,000, and the pledged investment securities had a carrying and market value of $5,341,000.

Some advances are subject to restrictions or penalties in the event of prepayment. In addition, $20,000,000 of the advances outstanding at December 31, 2010 contained options with dates ranging from January 13, 2011 to March 10, 2014, whereby the interest rate may be adjusted by the Federal Home Loan Bank, at which time the advances may be repaid at the option of the Company without penalty.

Borrowings at December 31, 2010 and 2009 also include subordinated debentures in the amount of $10,310,000 at a rate equal to the average of 6.71% and the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 150 basis points for the first five years following the offering, or March 15, 2011. After the first five years, the securities will bear a rate equal to 150 basis points over the three-month LIBOR. At December 31, 2010, the interest rate was 4.26%. These subordinated debentures mature on March 15, 2036.

Borrowings at December 31, 2010 also include a repurchase agreement with Barclays Capital, Inc. in the amount of $7,500,000 with a rate of 4.42%. The repurchase agreement has embedded interest rate caps with a four-year term ending on September 22, 2012 that have a total notional value of $15,000,000. The interest rate caps will provide a reduction of the interest rate during any quarter if three-month LIBOR exceeds 3.81% on the quarterly determination date. These embedded interest rate caps are considered to be clearly and closely related to the host instrument. The repurchase agreement has a seven-year term with a final repurchase date of September 22, 2015, and provides Barclays Capital, Inc. with an early termination right on the four-year anniversary date of September 22, 2012. At December 31, 2010, pledged investment securities for this repurchase agreement had a market value of $9,047,000.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $18,659,000 of state tax loss carryforward available to offset future franchise tax. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $6,185,000 of federal tax loss carryforward available to offset future federal tax. Also, at December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $1,039,000 of tax credits available to offset future federal income tax. The state loss carryforward begins to expire in 2023. The federal loss carryforward expires in 2026. The tax credits begin to expire in 2023. Included in the $1,039,000 of tax credits available to offset future federal income tax are approximately $303,000 of alternative minimum tax credits which have no expiration date. Management believes that the Company will be able to utilize the benefits recorded for both state and federal loss carryforwards and federal credits within the allotted time periods.

Retained earnings at December 31, 2010, includes an allocation of income to bad debt deductions of approximately $11,883,000 for which no provision for federal income taxes has been made. If, in the future, this portion of retained earnings is used for any purpose other than to absorb bad debt losses, including redemption of bank stock or excess dividends, or loss of “bank” status, federal income taxes may be imposed at the then applicable rates. The unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the above amount was approximately $4,000,000.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007.

10. Employee Benefits

Multi-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan. The Company is a participating employer in a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan. Since the defined benefit pension plan is a multi-employer plan, no separate actuarial valuations are made with respect to each participating employer. The Company froze the defined benefit pension plan on June 30, 2004 to stop accruing benefits to plan participants beyond what was already earned to that date and to prevent new participants from entering the plan. The change was made in an effort to control and reduce pension plan expense in the future. The Company will continue to make contributions to meet required funding obligations.

401(k) Plan. The Company’s self-administered 401(k) plan became effective April 1, 2008. Prior to that date, the Company was a participating employer in a multi-employer 401(k) plan. The current plan covers substantially all full-time employees of the Company. The Company matches employees’ contributions to the 401(k) plan at the rate of 100% for the first 4% of base salary contributed by participants.

Pension expense for the plans totaled $615,000 and $453,000 in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Split-dollar life insurance agreements. The Company adopted the accounting guidance for separate agreements which split dollar life insurance policy benefits between an employer and employee. This guidance requires the employer to recognize a liability for future benefits payable to the employee under these agreements. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had a recorded a liability of $1,216,000 and $1,213,000, respectively. During 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized net expense totaling $4,000 and $7,000, respectively.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company terminated the supplemental retirement plan (the “Plan”) that provided retirement and death benefits to certain officers and directors. At that time, the officers and directors covered by that Plan voluntarily elected to forego their benefits under the Plan. Instead, the Company entered into separate agreements with these certain officers and directors that provide retirement and death benefits. The Company is recording an expense equal to the projected present value of the payment due at the full eligibility date. The liability for the plan at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $1,879,000 and $1,823,00, respectively. The expense for the plan was $184,000 and $218,000 for 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company has entered into employment or change in control agreements with certain officers that provide for the continuation of salary and certain benefits for a specified period of time under certain conditions. Under the terms of the agreements, these payments could occur in the event of a change in control of the Company, as defined, along with other specific conditions. The severance payment under these agreements is generally three times the annual salary of the officer in the event of a change in control.

Stock Options. Under the 1996 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“1996 Plan”) and the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”), the Company has granted options to individuals to purchase common stock at a price equal to the fair market value at the date of grant, subject to the terms and conditions of the plans. The 1996 Plan and the 2006 Plan require that options be granted at the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant. Options vest and are fully exercisable when granted or over an extended period subject to continuous employment or under other conditions set forth in the plans. The period for exercising options shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The plans also permit grants of stock appreciation rights. An amendment of the 1996 Plan extended the plan’s term by five years and increased the number of shares reserved under the plan from 176,000 to 352,000 shares. The 2006 Plan permits the granting of up to 225,000 shares. The 1996 Plan and 2006 Plan were approved by the stockholders of the Company.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

There were no stock options granted in 2010 or in 2009.

During 2010, the Company recognized $3,000 of share-based compensation expense.

11. Dividend and Capital Restrictions

The payment of dividends by the Company depends substantially upon receipt of dividends from the Bank, which is subject to various regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends. Under current regulations, the Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend or repurchase any of its capital stock if the effect thereof would cause its net worth to be reduced below regulatory capital requirements or the amount required for its liquidation accounts.

In addition, without prior approval, current regulations allow the Bank to pay dividends to the Company not exceeding retained net income for the applicable calendar year to date, plus retained net income for the preceding two years. Application is required by the Bank to pay dividends in excess of this restriction.

On July 26, 2010, following a joint examination by and discussions with the FDIC and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”), the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted a resolution agreeing to receive prior written consent from the FDIC and the DFI before declaring or paying any dividends.

On December 17, 2009, following an off-site review by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a resolution agreeing to seek and obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Bank at least thirty days before taking any of the following actions:

The payment of corporate dividends;

The payment of interest on trust preferred securities;

Any increase in debt or issuance of trust preferred obligations; and

The redemption of Company stock.

15. Regulatory Matters

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies and is assigned to a capital category. The assigned capital category is largely determined by three ratios that are calculated according to the regulations. The ratios are intended to measure capital relative to assets and credit risk associated with those assets and off-balance sheet exposures. The capital category assigned can also be affected by qualitative judgments made by regulatory agencies about the risk inherent in the entity’s activities that are not part of the calculated ratios.

There are five capital categories defined in the regulations, ranging from well capitalized to critically undercapitalized. Classification in any of the undercapitalized categories can result in actions by regulators that could have a material effect on a bank’s operations. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized and met all subject capital adequacy requirements. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2010, that management believes have changed this classification.

On July 26, 2010, following a joint examination by and discussions with the FDIC and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions, the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted a resolution agreeing to, among other things, adopt a capital plan to increase its Tier 1 Leverage Ratio to 8.50% by June 30, 2010 and to maintain a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 12.00%.

Actual and required capital amounts and ratios for the Bank are as follows:

	December 31, 2010
	Required for Well Capitalized					Required For Adequate Capital					Actual Capital
	Ratio			Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio			Amount
Total risk-based capital ratio		10.00	%	$	31,626		8.00	%	$	25,300		13.11	%	$	41,468
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio		6.00			18,975		4.00			12,650		11.86			37,493
Tier 1 leverage ratio		5.00			21,003		3.00			12,602		8.93			37,493

16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy has been established that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Available-for-sale Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The securities valued in Level 1 are mutual funds.

Level 2 securities include U.S. agency and U.S. government sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. Level 2 securities are valued by a third party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry utilizing observable inputs. The pricing provider utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary based on asset class. These models incorporate available market information including quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and, because many fixed-income securities do not trade on a daily basis, apply available information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector grouping and matrix pricing. In addition, model processes, such as an option adjusted spread model is used to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios for securities with prepayment features.

There currently are no securities valued in Level 3.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)

Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured for impairment. Allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment include estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans.

If the impaired loan is identified as collateral dependent, then the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized. This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the value.

Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when impairment is determined using the fair value method.

Other Real Estate Owned

The fair value of the Company’s other real estate owned is determined using Level 3 inputs, which include current and prior appraisals and estimated costs to sell. The change in fair value of other real estate owned on December 31, 2010 that was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $154,000, which was recorded as a direct charge to current earnings.

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying balance sheet measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the level within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair values are based on estimates using present value and other valuation techniques in instances where quoted market prices are not available. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of the Company.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(table dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Stock in FHLB: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate those assets’ fair values.

Loans Held for Sale: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate those assets’ fair values.

Loans: The fair values for loans are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates used to price new similar loans to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on loans.

Interest Receivable/Payable: The fair value of accrued interest receivable/payable approximates carrying values.

Deposits: The fair values of non-maturity demand, savings, and money market accounts are equal to the amount payable on demand at the balance sheet date. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on deposits to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on deposits.

Borrowings: The fair value of borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation, based on borrowing rates for periods comparable to the remaining terms to maturity of the borrowings.

Drafts Payable: The fair value approximates carrying value.

18. Current and Future Accounting Matters

¨	Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)

ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 revises two disclosure requirements concerning fair value measurements and clarifies two others. It requires separate presentation of significant transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the reasons for such transfers. It will also require the presentation of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within Level 3 on a gross basis rather than a net basis. The amendments also clarify that disclosures should be disaggregated by class of asset or liability and that disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques should be provided for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. The Company’s disclosures about fair value measurements are presented in Note 16 - Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities. These new disclosure requirements were effective for the period ended March 31, 2010, except for the requirement concerning gross presentation of Level 3 activity, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. There was no significant effect to the Company’s financial statement disclosure upon adoption of this ASU.

ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses: ASU 2010-20 requires that more information be disclosed about the credit quality of a company’s loans and the allowance for loan losses held against those loans. A company will need to disaggregate new and existing disclosure based on how it develops its allowance for loan losses and how it manages credit exposures. Existing disclosures to be presented on a disaggregated basis include a roll-forward of the allowance for loan losses, the related recorded investment in such loans, the nonaccrual status of loans, and impaired loans. Additional disclosure is also required about the credit quality indicators of loans by class at the end of the reporting period, the aging of past due loans, information about troubled debt restructurings, and significant purchases and sales of loans during the reporting period by class. For public companies, ASU 2010-20 requires certain disclosures as of the end of a reporting period effective for periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Other required disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The impact of ASU 2010-20 on our disclosures is reflected in the Loan and Allowance for Loan Losses footnote.

(table dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)

ASU No. 2011-01; The amendments in ASU No. 2011-01 temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the Board time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated.

19.	Significant Estimates, Concentrations and Contingencies

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require disclosure of certain significant estimates and current vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations. Estimates related to the allowance for loan losses are reflected in the footnote regarding loans. Current vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations of credit risk are discussed in the footnote on commitments and credit risk.

Litigation

Neither the Company nor the Bank is involved in any pending legal proceedings other than routing legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. Such routine legal proceedings, in the aggregate, are believed by management to be immaterial to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

Approximately 47% of the Company’s investment in bank-owned life insurance was held by two carriers at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

20.	Current Economic Conditions

The current protracted economic decline continues to present financial institutions with circumstances and challenges, which in some cases have resulted in large and unanticipated declines in the fair values of investments and other assets, constraints on liquidity and capital and significant credit quality problems, including severe volatility in the valuation of real estate and other collateral supporting loans.

At December 31, 2010, the Company held $94,595,000 in commercial real estate loans and $21,399,000 in loans collateralized by commercial and development real estate. Due to national, state and local economic conditions, values for commercial and development real estate have declined significantly, and the market for these properties is depressed.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using values and information currently available to the Company.

Given the volatility of current economic conditions, the values of assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements could change rapidly, resulting in material future adjustments in asset values, the allowance for loan losses and capital that could negatively impact the Company’s ability to meet regulatory capital requirements and maintain sufficient liquidity.

21.	Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s allowance for loan losses contains certain assumptions on the value of collateral dependent loans as well as certain economic and industry conditions which may be subject to change within the next year. These changes could have an adverse impact on the allowance for loan loss in the near term.
