PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
National City Bancshares, Inc., (the "Corporation"), is an Indiana
corporation organized in 1985 to engage in the business of a bank holding
company. Based in Evansville, Indiana, as of December 31, 1997, the
Corporation had fourteen wholly-owned subsidiaries, including eleven
commercial banks and one savings bank (each, a "Bank" and, collectively, the
"Banks") serving thirty-two communities from a total of forty-one banking
centers, one leasing corporation, one property management company, and one
financial services company (which is a subsidiary of a Bank). Each
subsidiary, its locations, number of offices, year founded, and date of
affiliation with the Corporation is shown below.

The Banks provide a wide range of financial services to the communities they
serve in Southwestern Indiana, Western Kentucky and Southeastern Illinois.
These services include various types of deposit accounts; safe deposit boxes;
safekeeping of securities; automated teller machines; consumer, mortgage, and
commercial loans; mortgage loan sales and servicing; letters of credit;
accounts receivable management (financing, accounting, billing and
collecting); and complete personal and corporate trust services. All
deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The Corporation's nonbank subsidiary, NCBE Leasing Corp., operates as a full
service equipment and real property leasing company offering its services to
all commercial clients of the Corporation's subsidiary banks.
Twenty-One Southeast Third Corporation ("TSTC") is the Corporation's real
estate property management subsidiary. TSTC is the entity through which the
Corporation constructed a nine story addition to the main office of The
National City Bank of Evansville ("NCB"). NCB and the Corporation occupy
three floors of the building with the remaining floors sold as condominiums.
TSTC serves in a property management capacity for this facility.
UniFed, Inc., a wholly-owned nonbank subsidiary of Alliance Bank (which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation), offers its customers a wide
variety of mutual fund and annuity products as well as discount brokerage
services.
At December 31, 1997, the Corporation and its subsidiaries had 510 full-time
equivalent employees. The subsidiaries provide a wide range of employee
benefits and consider employee relations to be excellent.
5
COMPETITION
The Corporation has active competition in all areas in which it presently
engages in business. Each Bank competes for commercial and individual
deposits and loans with commercial banks, thrift institutions, credit unions
connected with local businesses, and other non-banking institutions. The
Corporation's leasing company competes with bank and nonbank leasing
companies as well as finance subsidiaries of major equipment vendors.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
The Corporation and its subsidiaries have no foreign branches or significant
business with foreign obligors or depositors.
REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
General
The Corporation is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended ("BHCA"), and as such is subject to
regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB").
The Corporation files periodic reports with the FRB regarding the business
operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, and is subject to
examination by the FRB.
The Corporation's four national bank subsidiaries are supervised and
regulated primarily by the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). They are
also members of the Federal Reserve System and subject to the applicable
provisions of the Federal Reserve Act. The Corporation's federal thrift
subsidiary is supervised and regulated primarily by the Office of Thrift
Supervision ("OTS"). The Corporation's remaining depository institution
subsidiaries are supervised and regulated primarily by their state banking
supervisor and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). All of
the Banks' deposits are federally insured; accordingly, the Banks are subject
to the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.
The federal banking agencies have broad enforcement powers, including the
power to terminate deposit insurance, impose substantial fines and other
civil and criminal penalties, and appoint a conservator or receiver. Failure
to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and supervisory agreements could
subject the Corporation, the Banks, as well as their officers, directors, and
other institution-affiliated parties, to administrative sanctions and
potentially substantial civil money penalties. In addition to the measures
discussed under "Deposit Insurance", the appropriate federal banking agency
may appoint the FDIC as conservator or receiver for a banking institution (or
the FDIC may appoint itself, under certain circumstances) if any one or more
of a number of circumstances exist, including, without limitation, the fact
that the banking institution is undercapitalized and has no reasonable
prospect of becoming adequately capitalized, it fails to become adequately
capitalized when required to do so, it fails to submit a timely and
acceptable
6
capital restoration plan, or it materially fails to implement an accepted
capital restoration plan.
Supervision and regulation of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries
is intended primarily for the protection of depositors, the deposit insurance
funds of the FDIC, and the banking system as a whole, not for the protection
of bank holding company shareholders or creditors.
Acquisitions and Changes in Control
Under the BHCA, without the prior approval of the FRB, the Corporation may
not acquire direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting stock or
substantially all of the assets of any company, including a bank, and may not
merge or consolidate with another bank holding company. In addition, the
BHCA generally prohibits the Corporation from engaging in any nonbanking
business unless such business is determined by the FRB to be so closely
related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto. Under the BHCA, the
FRB has the authority to require a bank holding company to terminate any
activity or relinquish control of a nonbank subsidiary (other than a nonbank
subsidiary of a bank) upon the FRB's determination that such activity or
control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness and stability
of any bank subsidiary of the bank holding company.
Federal and state laws and regulations limit geographic expansion by the
Corporation and the Banks. Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and
Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, subject to certain conditions, (i) bank
holding companies may acquire banks located in states outside their home
state, (ii) the interstate merger of banks is allowed, subject to the right
of individual states to "opt out" of this authority, and (iii) banks may
establish new branches on an interstate basis, provided that such action is
specifically authorized by the law of the host state.
The Change in Bank Control Act (the "CBCA") prohibits a person or group of
persons from acquiring "control" of a bank holding company unless the FRB has
been notified and has not objected to the transaction. Under a rebuttable
presumption established by the FRB, the acquisition of 10% or more of a class
of voting stock of a bank holding company with a class of securities
registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, such as the Corporation, would, under the circumstances set forth in
the presumption, constitute acquisition of control of the Corporation. In
addition, any company is required to obtain the approval of the FRB under the
BHCA before acquiring 25% (5% in the case of an acquiror that is a bank
holding company) or more of the outstanding common stock of the Corporation,
or otherwise obtaining control or a "controlling influence" over the
Corporation.
7
Dividends and Other Relationships with Affiliates
The Corporation is a legal entity separate and distinct from its
subsidiaries. The source of the Corporation's cash flow, including cash flow
to pay dividends on the Corporation's Common Stock, is the payment of
dividends to the Corporation by the Banks. Generally, such dividends are
limited to the lesser of (i) undivided profits (less bad debts in excess of
the allowance for credit losses) and (ii) absent regulatory approval, the net
profits for the current year combined with retained net profits for the
preceding two years. Further, a depository institution may not pay a
dividend if (i) it would thereafter be "undercapitalized" as determined by
federal banking regulatory agencies or (ii) if, in the opinion of the
appropriate banking regulator, the payment of dividends would constitute an
unsafe or unsound practice.
The Banks are subject to additional restrictions on their transactions with
affiliates, including the Corporation. State and federal statutes limit
credit transactions with affiliates, prescribing forms and conditions deemed
consistent with sound banking practices, and imposing limits on permitted
collateral for credit extended.
Under FRB policy, the Corporation is expected to serve as a source of
financial and managerial strength to the Banks. The FRB requires the
Corporation to stand ready to use its resources to provide adequate capital
funds during periods of financial stress or adversity. This support may be
required by the FRB at times when the Corporation may not have the resources
to provide it or, for other reasons, would not be inclined to provide it.
Additionally, under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvements
Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), the Corporation may be required to provide limited
guarantee of compliance of any insured depository institution subsidiary that
may become "undercapitalized" (as defined in the statute) with the terms of
any capital restoration plan filed by such subsidiary with its appropriate
federal banking agency.
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA") imposes additional "cross guarantee" obligations. FIRREA provides
generally that, upon the default of any bank of a multi-unit holding company,
the FDIC may assess an affiliated insured depository institution for the
estimated losses incurred by the FDIC, even if this renders the affiliate
insolvent. Any obligation of a subsidiary to its holding company is
subordinate to cross-guarantee liabilities and the rights of depositors.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Corporation and the Banks are subject to risk-based and leverage capital
requirements imposed by the appropriate primary bank regulator. All complied
with applicable minimums as of December 31, 1997, and each Bank qualified as
well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.
See footnote 14 to the consolidated financial statements.
8
Failure to meet capital requirements could result in a variety of enforcement
remedies, including the termination of deposit insurance or measures by
banking regulators to correct the deficiency in the manner least costly to
the deposit insurance fund.
Deposit Insurance
The Banks are subject to federal deposit insurance assessments by either the
Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") or the Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF"). The assessment rate is based on classification of a depository
institution into a risk assessment category. Such classification is based
upon the institution's capital level and certain supervisory evaluations of
the institution by its primary regulator. Each of the Corporation's
subsidiaries is assessed at the lowest premium rate charged.
The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository
institution if the FDIC determines, after a hearing, that the institution has
engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or
unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law,
regulation, order, or any condition imposed in writing by, or written
agreement with, the FDIC. The FDIC may also suspend deposit insurance
temporarily during the hearing process for a permanent termination of
insurance if the institution has no tangible capital. Management of the
Corporation is not aware of any activity or condition that could result in
termination of the deposit insurance of any of the Banks.
Community Reinvestment Act
The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA") requires financial
institutions to meet the credit needs of their entire communities, including
low-income and moderate-income areas. CRA regulations impose a
performance-based evaluation system, which bases the CRA rating on an
institution's actual lending, service, and investment performance. Federal
banking agencies may take CRA compliance into account when regulating a bank
or bank holding company's activities; for example, CRA performance may be
considered in approving proposed bank acquisitions. None of the Banks
received a rating less than satisfactory on its most recent CRA examination.
Additional Regulation, Government Policies, and Legislation
In addition to the restrictions discussed above, the activities and
operations of the Corporation and the Banks are subject to a number of
additional detailed, complex, and sometimes overlapping laws and regulations.
These include state usury and consumer credit laws, state laws relating to
fiduciaries, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Federal Equal Credit
Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Truth in Savings Act,
anti-redlining legislation, and antitrust laws.
The actions and policies of banking regulatory authorities have had a
significant effect on the operating results of the Corporation and the Banks
in the past and are expected to do so in the future.
9
Various additional legislation, including proposals to overhaul the bank
regulatory system, expand the powers of banking institutions and bank holding
companies and limit the investments that a depository institution may make
with insured funds, is from time to time introduced in Congress. Such
legislation may change banking statutes and the operating environment for the
Corporation and its subsidiaries in substantial and unpredictable ways. The
Corporation cannot determine the ultimate effect that potential legislation,
if enacted, or implementing regulations would have upon the financial
condition or results of operations of the Corporation or its subsidiaries.
Finally, the earnings of the Banks are strongly affected by the attempts of
the FRB to regulate aggregate national credit and the money supply through
such means as open market dealings in securities, establishment of the
discount rate on member bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements
against member bank deposits. The FRB's policies may be influenced by many
factors, including inflation, unemployment, short-term and long-term changes
in the international trade balance and fiscal policies of the United States
government. The effects of various FRB actions on future performance cannot
be predicted.

are located at 227 Main Street in downtown Evansville, Indiana, in a building
owned in fee by NCB. The Banks, all branches, the leasing company, and the
insurance company are located on premises either owned or leased. None of
the property is subject to any major encumbrance. NCB committed in 1995 to
build an addition to its main office to be completed in the second quarter of
1998. The approximate cost of the addition and renovation of the building is
$18,000,000. NCB and the Corporation will occupy three floors of the

six floors have been sold to entities outside of the Corporation. The
Corporation's share of the building cost will be approximately $10,000,000.
The Corporation, through its subsidiary, TSTC, is funding the project with
