NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flow of the Company. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2007, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending June 30, 2008. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2007, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2007.

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share for the quarters ended December 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006, were computed as follows:

Options to purchase 22,724 shares of common stock at $19.33 per share were outstanding at December 31, 2007 and 2006, but were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. Similarly, an additional 11,362 options exercisable at $14.58 per share were greater than the average market price of common shares for the quarter ended December 31, 2007.

NOTE 4 - RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated income statement for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2006, to conform to the presentation of the condensed consolidated income statement for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2007. These reclassifications had no effect on earnings.

NOTE 5 - CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

On July 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes . FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement No. 109. FIN 48 presents a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company did not identify any material uncertain tax positions that it believes should be recognized in the financial statements.

Effective July 1, 2007, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156 (SFAS 156), Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. SFAS 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. The adoption of SFAS 156 did not impact the results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are not historical facts, rather they are statements based on the Company's current expectations regarding its business strategies and their intended results and its future performance. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "intends," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Numerous risks and uncertainties could cause the Company's actual results, performance, and achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause or contribute to these differences include, without limitation, general economic conditions, including changes in market interest rates and changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government; legislative and regulatory changes; and other factors disclosed periodically in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because of the risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them, whether included in this report or made elsewhere from time to time by the Company or on its behalf. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

GENERAL

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT DECEMBER 31, 2007, AND JUNE 30, 2007

Total consolidated assets of the Company increased $5.3 million, or 1.5%, to $368.3 million at December 31, 2007, from $363.0 million at June 30, 2007. Investment activity was responsible for the growth.

Cash and cash equivalents, which consist mainly of funds on deposit at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (FHLB) or the Federal Reserve Bank, decreased $1.9 million to $12.9 million during the six months ended December 31, 2007. Certificates of deposit (CDs) with other financial institutions, which are all fully insured by the FDIC, totaled $722,000 at December 31, 2007, compared to $1.6 million at June 30, 2007.

Investment securities increased 11.7% during the first six months of fiscal 2008 to $89.5 million. Highly-rated mortgage-backed securities represented most of the increase. The portfolio is composed entirely of mortgage-related securities, federal agency notes, municipal bonds, and investment grade asset-backed paper. Recent economic conditions have not adversely affected the ratings of any securities in the portfolio.

Net loans totaled $232.0 million at December 31, 2007, a 0.5% decrease from the $233.2 million balance at June 30, 2007. Permanent mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences decreased 4.0% during the first half of fiscal 2008 with non-owner-occupied loans accounting for the majority of this reduction. Conversely, commercial business loans increased 7.8% and permanent loans secured by nonresidential or multi-family real estate grew 3.0% during the same period. The consumer loan portfolio, including loans secured by savings accounts, decreased 0.5% as indirect automobile loan production slowed to $17.4 million through the first six months of fiscal 2008. Also, $4.0 million of newly originated permanent single family residential mortgage loans, or 53.6% of total production, have been sold this fiscal year. For the foreseeable future, management intends to continue building the mortgage loan servicing portfolio through the origination and sale of loans. Consumer loan retention is subject to First Federal's liquidity needs, as well as internal and regulatory asset diversification limitations to which First Federal is in full compliance.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $1.0 million at December 31, 2007, a $62,000 decrease from six months earlier. The change was composed of $195,000 in provisions for losses and $257,000 in net charge-offs. Net charge-offs consisted of $63,000 of mortgage loans, $17,000 of commercial loans, and $177,000 of consumer loans. The Company’s allowance for loan losses represented 0.43% of total loans at December 31, 2007, compared to 0.45% at June 30, 2007. Despite the small reduction, the allowance for loan losses increased to 783.6% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2007, from 326.7% at June 30, 2007.

The table below highlights changes in the Company’s nonperforming assets since the most recent fiscal year end.

	December 31, 2007			June 30, 2007

Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis	$	127,000		$	311,000
Accruing loans past due 90 days or more		-			14,000
Nonperforming loans		127,000			325,000
Real estate owned (net)		92,000			10,000
Other repossessed assets		24,000			33,000
Total nonperforming assets	$	243,000		$	368,000

Total loans delinquent 90 days or more to total loans		0.05	%		0.14	%
Total loans delinquent 90 days or more to total assets		0.03	%		0.09	%
Total nonperforming assets to total assets		0.07	%		0.10	%

Total deposits decreased $22.8 million to $228.4 million at December 31, 2007, from $251.2 million at June 30, 2007. The decrease was attributed primarily to a $24.7 million reduction in brokered funds. Borrowings, which consisted mainly of FHLB products, totaled $99.7 million at December 31, 2007, a $27.2 million increase that included $5.2 million of junior subordinated debt associated with trust preferred securities issued through a statutory trust on August 1, 2007. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis accounted for the balance of the increase. First Federal believes that it has substantial resources to increase its borrowing capacity with the FHLB.

At $608,000, escrow balances at December 31, 2007, were 12.5% below the levels six months earlier due mainly to seasonal variances. During the first six months of fiscal 2008, other liabilities, which include accrued expenses and miscellaneous short-term payables, increased $924,000, or 21.2%. The change was attributed primarily to accrued interest on time deposits and accrued income taxes.

Total stockholders’ equity increased $190,000 to $34.4 million at December 31, 2007, from $34.2 million at June 30, 2007. In addition to the $436,000 of net income, the most significant components of the change included 21,438 shares of First Bancorp common stock repurchased at a total cost of $323,000 and semiannual cash dividends totaling $553,000. Also affecting stockholders’ equity were $112,000 in allocations of ESOP shares, and $63,000 from the exercise of stock options. Finally, an unrealized gain, adjusted for deferred taxes, of $455,000 was recognized on the portfolio of available-for-sale securities.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007, AND 2006

GENERAL. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, improved 8.8% to $248,000 from $228,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, despite higher funding costs that further compressed the net interest margin. The annualized return on average assets rose slightly to 0.27% for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, from 0.26% for the same quarter last year. The return on average equity also increased to 2.90% from 2.67% for the comparative quarters. Greater noninterest revenues were primarily responsible for the improved earnings.

NET INTEREST INCOME. At $1.9 million, net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, was 2.8% less than in the same quarter a year ago. Total interest income increased 4.2% between the comparative quarters as a result of an $8.3 million increase in average interest-earning assets and a ten basis point improvement in the average yield on these assets. Total interest expenses increased 8.7% between the same periods due primarily to a $15.6 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities and a 14 basis point rise in average cost. Consequently, the net interest margin declined to 2.34% for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 from 2.47% for the same period the preceding year.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses is intended to establish an allowance adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date based upon management's periodic analysis of information available at that time. At $115,000, the provision for loan losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, was $15,000 greater than the same quarter last fiscal year. While management believes the allowance for loan losses to be sufficient given current information, future events, conditions, or regulatory directives could necessitate additions to the allowance for loan losses that may adversely affect net income.

NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income totaled $606,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, compared to $459,000 for the same quarter last year. The introduction of a new overdraft protection program accounted for the 108.4% increase in service charges on deposit accounts. Net gains on loan sales were nearly double the same quarter last year due to improved pricing and a 65.3% increase in sales.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE. At $2.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, total noninterest expense was 3.4% above the same quarter in fiscal 2007. The increase was distributed among numerous expense categories with professional fees accounting for the largest change. At 2.31% of average assets, noninterest expenses were slightly below the year-ago quarter.

INCOME TAXES. Effective tax rates for the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 approximated 20.0% and 25.1%, respectively. The effective tax rates are below the statutory rates due in large part to the tax benefits generated by bank-qualified municipal securities relative to the levels of income before taxes.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007, AND 2006

GENERAL. Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2007, improved 8.7% to $436,000 from $401,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2006, despite further compression to the net interest margin. At 0.24%, the annualized return on average assets was only slightly below the 0.25% for the same period in fiscal 2007. Similarly, the 2.56% return on average equity for the most recent six months was in line with the same period last year. The significant increase in noninterest expenses between the comparative six-month periods was largely due to the Company’s October 1, 2006, acquisition of Home Building Bancorp, Inc. Improved noninterest revenues partially offset the higher overhead expenses.

NET INTEREST INCOME. At $3.8 million, net interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2007, was 4.5% higher than in the same period a year ago. Total interest income increased 15.3% between the comparative six-month periods as a result of a $33.8 million increase in average interest-earning assets attributed mainly to the merger and a 22 basis point improvement in the average yield on these assets. The merger was also the primary contributor to the 22.4% increase in total interest expenses between the same periods. Consequently, the net interest margin declined to 2.29% for the first half of fiscal 2008 from 2.44% for the same time frame in fiscal 2007.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. At $195,000, the provision for loan losses for the six months ended December 31, 2007, was unchanged from the same six-month period in fiscal 2007. Net charge-offs, which typically are related to the automobile loan portfolio, totaled $257,000 for the most recent six months versus $64,000 for the first half of last fiscal year. Approximately $90,000 of the current fiscal year charge-offs are attributed to loans delinquent 180 days or more to borrowers who have filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection. Payments received from the bankruptcy trustees are treated as recoveries in subsequent periods.

NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income totaled $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007, compared to $960,000 for the same period last year. Last year’s total included a $42,000 gain from the sale of approximately $5.0 million of consumer loans. The introduction of a new overdraft protection program accounted for the 88.9% increase in service charges on deposit accounts. Reduced income from the servicing of sold consumer loans was responsible for the decrease in other noninterest income.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE. At $4.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007, total noninterest expense increased 7.3% from the same period in fiscal 2007 due in large part to the personnel and facilities gained in the merger along with other merger-related items. The increased amortization of intangible assets is attributed to the amortization of the core deposit intangible that resulted from the merger. Similarly, the 22.8% increase in data processing expenses was due mainly to accounts added in the merger. Despite these items, noninterest expenses relative to average assets declined 11 basis points to an annualized 2.27% for the first half of fiscal 2008.

INCOME TAXES. Effective tax rates for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 approximated 19.2% and 23.1%, respectively. The effective tax rates are below the statutory rates due in large part to the tax benefits generated by bank-qualified municipal securities relative to the levels of income before taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Federal regulations require First Federal to maintain liquidity commensurate with safe and sound operations. Such liquidity may include both existing assets and access to reliable funding sources. To this end, First Federal maintains an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to fund loan originations and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy other financial commitments, and to take advantage of investment opportunities. First Federal invests excess funds in overnight deposits and other short-term interest-bearing assets to provide liquidity to meet these needs. At December 31, 2007, bank-only cash and cash equivalents totaled $9.6 million, or 2.6% of total assets. First Federal also had marketable securities, excluding a small inventory of negotiable CDs, totaling $89.5 million, of which, 84.0% were classified “available for sale.” At the same time, First Federal had net commitments to fund loans, including loans in process, of $2.5 million.

Retail certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $71.2 million at December 31, 2007. Based upon historical experience, management believes the majority of maturing certificates of deposit will remain with First Federal. Management of First Federal believes it can adjust the offering rates of certificates of deposit to retain deposits in changing interest rate environments. If a significant portion of these deposits are not retained by First Federal, First Federal would be able to utilize FHLB advances and other wholesale sources to fund deposit withdrawals. This could result in an increase in interest expense to the extent that the average rate paid on wholesale funds generally exceeds the average rate paid on retail deposits of similar duration.

Management believes its ability to generate funds internally will satisfy its liquidity needs. However, should First Federal require funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Based on currently pledged collateral, First Federal had approximately $4.2 million remaining available to borrow under its credit arrangement with the FHLB as of December 31, 2007. In addition, First Federal had unpledged collateral sufficient to add another $26.9 million of borrowing capacity with the FHLB.

Office of Thrift Supervision regulations require First Federal to maintain specific amounts of capital. As of December 31, 2007, First Federal exceeded its minimum capital requirements as the following table illustrates.

						Regulatory Minimum					Well Capitalized per
	Actual					Required Capital					12 CFR Part 565

The Company’s fourth stock repurchase program was announced on August 24, 2006, to acquire up to 77,000 shares, or 5%, of the outstanding shares. This repurchase program, as with the previous programs, has been undertaken to enhance shareholder value and to provide liquidity for the otherwise thinly traded shares. The repurchase programs generally have been conducted through open market purchases, although unsolicited negotiated transactions or other types of repurchases have also taken place. As of December 31, 2007, 39,079 shares had been repurchased under the fourth stock repurchase program leaving 37,921 shares to be purchased.

The following chart summarizes stock repurchase activity during the most recent quarter.

Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased		Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs		Maximum Number of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs
October 1, 2007 through October 31, 2007		1,000	$	15.05		1,000		45,621

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings at the time losses are estimated to have occurred. 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 allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS. Mortgage servicing rights on originated loans that have been sold are initially recorded at fair value. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing revenues. Impairment of mortgage-servicing rights is assessed based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on a current market interest rate. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights are stratified based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The predominant characteristic currently used for stratification is type of loan. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the capitalized mortgage servicing rights for a stratum exceed their fair value.

GOODWILL. Goodwill is tested 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements . This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Although this statement does not require any new fair value measurements, the application of this Statement may change current practices. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2008. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of SFAS 157.

In February 2007, FASB issued Statement No. 159 (SFAS 159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2008, although early adoption is allowed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the impact of the adoption of SFAS 159 and did not elect to early adopt.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
