Item 1. Business

General

             MutualFirst Financial, Inc., a Maryland corporation, is a savings and loan holding company which has as its wholly-owned subsidiary Mutual Federal Savings Bank. MFS Financial was formed in September 1999 to become the holding company of Mutual Federal in connection with Mutual Federal's conversion from the mutual to stock form of organization on December 29, 1999. In April 2000, MFS Financial formally changed its corporate name to MutualFirst Financial, Inc. (" MutualFirst "). The words "we," "our" and "us" refer to MutualFirst and Mutual Federal on a consolidated basis, except that references to us prior to December 29, 1999 refer only to Mutual Federal.

            At December 31, 2000, we had total assets of $770 million, deposits of $515 million and stockholders' equity of $130 million. Our executive offices are located at 110 E. Charles Street, Muncie, Indiana 47305-2400.

            Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those funds primarily in permanent loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences and a variety of consumer loans. We also originate loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate, commercial business loans and construction loans secured primarily by residential real estate.

            Our revenues are derived principally from interest on loans and interest on investments and mortgage-backed securities.

            We offer deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms, which generally include passbook and statement savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, NOW and non-interest bearing checking accounts and certificates of deposit with terms ranging from seven days to 71 months. We solicit deposits in our market areas and we have not accepted brokered deposits.

            On December 8, 2000, MutualFirst Financial, Inc. completed a strategic alliance with Marion Capital Holdings, Inc. ("Marion Capital") in Marion, Indiana. Marion Capital had assets totaling $198.3 million and equity of $30.3 million held primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary, First Federal Saving Bank of Marion. MutualFirst issued approximately 2.5 million MutualFirst shares to Marion Capital shareholders in exchange for their Marion Capital shares. The combination was accounted for using the purchase accounting method and created no goodwill.

Forward-Looking Statements

            This Form 10-K contains various forward-looking statements which are based on assumptions and describe our future plans and strategies and our expectations. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by words such as "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," or similar words. Our ability to predict results or the actual


1

effect of future plans or strategies is uncertain. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, general economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality and composition of our loan and investment portfolios, demand for our loan products, deposit flows, our operating expenses, competition, demand for financial services in our market areas and accounting principles and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and you should not rely too much on these statements.

Market Areas

            We are a community-oriented financial institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the communities we serve. We are headquartered in Muncie, Indiana and with our recent merger with Marion Capitol Holdings, Inc., we offer our financial services through 17 retail offices primarily serving Delaware, Randolph, Kosciusko and Grant counties in Indiana. We also originate mortgage loans in contiguous counties and we originate indirect consumer loans throughout Indiana and western Ohio. See "Lending Activities -- Consumer and Other Lending."

Lending Activities

             General. Our mortgage loans carry either a fixed or an adjustable rate of interest. Mortgage loans are generally long-term and amortize on a monthly basis with principal and interest due each month. At December 31, 2000, our net loan portfolio totaled $643 million, which constituted 83.5% of our total assets.

            Loans up to $550,000 may be approved by individual loan officers. Loans in excess of $550,000, but not in excess of $1.0 million, require the signatures of the recommending officer and any two signatures from the Executive Loan Committee. Loans in amounts greater than $1.0 million, but not to exceed $1.5 million, require the signatures of the recommending officer and any three Executive Loan Committee members. All loans in excess of $1.5 million and loans of any amount to a borrower whose aggregate debt will exceed $3.0 million must be approved by the Board of Directors.

            At December 31, 2000, the maximum amount which we could lend to any one borrower and the borrower's related entities was approximately $15.6 million. At December 31, 2000, our largest lending relationship to a single borrower or a group of related borrowers consisted of ten loans to a local developer/entrepreneur and related entities totaling $3.6 million. Although the relationship dates back to 1980, 88.2% of the outstanding debt has been originated since June 30, 1998, and consists of refinancing existing debt. The loans are diverse and are secured by apartment complexes, medical facilities and a bank branch, each with independent income streams to support debt service requirements. Each of the loans to this group of borrowers was current and performing in accordance with its terms at December 31, 2000.

            The total amount of loans due after December 31, 2001 which have predetermined interest rates is $336 million, while the total amount of loans due after such date which have floating or adjustable interest rates is $294 million.

             One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending. We focus our lending efforts primarily on the origination of loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences in our market areas. At December 31, 2000, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaled $392.8 million, or 60.2% of our gross loan portfolio.

            We generally underwrite our one- to four-family loans based on the applicant's employment and credit history and the appraised value of the subject property. Presently, we lend up to 100% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price for one- to four-family residential loans. For loans with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80%, we generally require private mortgage insurance in order to reduce our exposure to below 80%. Properties securing our one- to four-family loans are appraised by independent state licensed fee appraisers approved by Mutual Federal's board of directors. We require borrowers to obtain title and hazard insurance, and flood insurance, if necessary, in an amount not less than the value of the property improvements.

            We originate one- to four-family mortgage loans on either a fixed- or adjustable-rate basis, as consumer demand dictates. Our pricing strategy for mortgage loans includes setting interest rates that are competitive with Freddie Mac and other local financial institutions, and consistent with our internal needs. Adjustable-rate mortgage, or ARM, loans are offered with a six-month, one-year, three-year, five-year or seven-year term to the initial repricing date. After the initial period, the interest rate for each ARM loan adjusts consistently with the initial term for the six-month, one-year and three-year terms, respectively, and annually for the five-year and seven-year terms, for the remainder of the term of the loan. We use the weekly average of the appropriate term Treasury Bill Constant Maturity Index to reprice our ARM loans. During fiscal 2000, we originated $18.6 million of one- to four-family ARM loans and $32.7 million of one- to four-family fixed rate mortgage loans. By way of comparison, during fiscal 1999, we originated $23.0 million of one- to four-family ARM loans, and $48.3 million of one- to four-family fixed-rate mortgage loans.

            Fixed-rate loans secured by one- to four-family residences have contractual maturities of up to 30 years, and are generally fully amortizing, with payments due monthly. These loans normally remain outstanding, however, for a substantially shorter period of time because of refinancing and other prepayments. A significant change in interest rates could alter considerably the average life of a residential loan in our portfolio. Our one- to four-family loans are generally not assumable, do not contain prepayment penalties and do not permit negative amortization of principal. Most are written using underwriting guidelines which make them saleable in the secondary market. Our real estate loans generally contain a "due on sale" clause allowing us to declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon the sale of the security property.

            Our one- to four-family residential ARM loans are fully amortizing loans with contractual maturities of up to 30 years, with payments due monthly. Our ARM loans generally provide for specified minimum and maximum interest rates, with a lifetime cap and floor, and a periodic


6
NEXT PAGE




adjustment on the interest rate over the rate in effect on the date of origination. As a consequence of using caps, the interest rates on these loans may not be as rate sensitive as is our cost of funds. We offer a one-year ARM loan that is convertible into a fixed-rate loan. When these loans convert, they are usually sold in the secondary market.

            In order to remain competitive in our market areas, we originate ARM loans at initial rates below the fully indexed rate. ARM loans generally pose different credit risks than fixed-rate loans, primarily because as interest rates rise, the borrower's payment rises, increasing the potential for default. We have not experienced difficulty with the payment history for these loans. See "Asset Quality -- Non-performing Assets" and "-- Classified Assets." At December 31, 2000, our one- to four-family ARM loan portfolio totaled $213.2 million, or 32.7% of our gross loan portfolio. At that date, the fixed-rate one- to four-family mortgage loan portfolio totaled $179.7 million, or 27.5% of our gross loan portfolio.

             Multi-family and Commercial Real Estate Lending . We offer a variety of multi-family and commercial real estate loans for acquisition, renovation or construction. These loans are secured by the real estate and improvements financed. The collateral securing these loans ranges from industrial commercial buildings, churches, office buildings and multi-family housing complexes. At December 31, 2000, multi-family and commercial real estate loans totaled $63 million, or 9.7% of our gross loan portfolio.

            Our loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate are originated with either a fixed or adjustable interest rate. The interest rate on adjustable-rate loans is based on a variety of indices, generally determined through negotiation with the borrower. Loan-to-value ratios on our multi-family and commercial real estate loans typically do not exceed 80% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. These loans typically require monthly payments, may not be fully amortizing and have maximum maturities of 20 years.

            Loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate are underwritten based on the income producing potential of the property and the financial strength of the borrower. The net operating income, which is the income derived from the operation of the property less all operating expenses, must be sufficient to cover the payments related to the outstanding debt. We generally require personal guarantees of the borrowers in addition to the security property as collateral for such loans. We also generally require an assignment of rents or leases in order to be assured that the cash flow from the project will be used to repay the debt. Appraisals on properties securing multi-family and commercial real estate loans are performed by independent state licensed fee appraisers approved by Mutual Federal's board of directors. See "Loan Originations, Purchases, Sales and Repayments."

            We generally do not maintain a tax or insurance escrow account for loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate. In order to monitor the adequacy of cash flows on income-producing properties, the borrower is requested or required to provide periodic financial information.

            Loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate are generally larger and involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Multi-family

and commercial real estate loans typically involve large balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Because payments on loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate 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 the economy. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, or if leases are not obtained or renewed, the borrower's ability to repay the loan may be impaired. See "Asset Quality -- Non-performing Assets."

             Construction and Development Lending . We originate construction loans primarily secured by existing residential building lots. We make construction loans to builders and to individuals for the construction of their residences. Substantially all of these loans are secured by properties located within our market areas. At December 31, 2000, we had $13.6 million in construction and development loans outstanding, representing 2.1% of our gross loan portfolio.

            Construction and development loans are obtained through continued business with builders who have previously borrowed from us, from walk-in customers and through referrals from realtors and architects. The application process includes submission of accurate plans, specifications and costs of the project to be constructed. These items are used to determine the appraised value of the subject property. Loans are based on the lesser of the current appraised value and/or the cost of construction, including the land and the building. We generally conduct regular inspections of the construction project being financed.

            Construction loans for one- to four-family homes are generally granted with a construction period of up to one year. During the construction phase, the borrower generally pays interest only on a monthly basis. Loans to individuals for the construction of their residences may be either short term construction financing or a construction/permanent loan which automatically converts to a long term mortgage consistent with our one- to four-family residential loan products. Loan-to-value ratios on our construction and development loans typically do not exceed 80% of the appraised value of the project on an as completed basis. Single family construction loans with loan-to-value ratios over 80% require private mortgage insurance.

            Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating construction and development costs and the market for the project upon completion, it is difficult to evaluate accurately the total loan funds required to complete a project, the related loan-to-value ratios and the likelihood of ultimate success of the project. These loans also involve many of the same risks discussed above regarding multi-family and commercial real estate loans and tend to be more sensitive to general economic conditions than many other types of loans. In addition, payment of interest from loan proceeds can make it difficult to monitor the progress of a project.

             Consumer and Other Lending . Consumer loans generally have shorter terms to maturity, which reduces our exposure to changes in interest rates, and carry higher rates of interest than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. In addition, management believes that offering consumer loan products helps to expand and create stronger ties to our customer base by increasing the number of customer relationships and providing cross-marketing opportunities. At December 31, 2000, our consumer loan portfolio totaled $156.9 million, or

24% of our gross loan portfolio. We offer a variety of secured consumer loans, including home equity and lines of credit, home improvement, auto, boat and recreational vehicle, manufactured housing and loans secured by savings deposits. We also offer a limited amount of unsecured loans. We originate our consumer loans both in our market areas and throughout Indiana and western Ohio.

            At December 31, 2000, our home equity loans, including lines of credit, and home improvement loans totaled $40.7 million, or 6.2% of our gross loan portfolio. These loans may be originated in amounts, together with the amount of the existing first mortgage, of up to 100% of the value of the property securing the loan. The term to maturity on our home equity and home improvement loans may be up to 15 years. Home equity lines of credit have a maximum term to maturity of 20 years and require a minimum monthly payment based on the outstanding loan balance per month, which amount may be reborrowed at any time. Other consumer loan terms vary according to the type of collateral, length of contract and creditworthiness of the borrower.

            We directly and indirectly originate auto loans, boat and recreational vehicle loans and manufactured housing loans. We generally buy indirect auto loans on a rate basis, paying the dealer a cash payment for loans with an interest rate in excess of the rate we require. This premium is amortized over the remaining life of the loan. Any prepayments or delinquencies are charged to future amounts owed to that dealer, with no dealer reserve or other guarantee of payment if the dealer stops doing business with us.

            We underwrite indirect auto loans using the Fair-Isaacs credit scoring system. We also directly originate auto loans through bank personnel. These loans are underwritten more traditionally, with a review of the borrower's employment and credit history and an assessment of the borrower's ability to repay the loan.

            At December 31, 2000, auto loans totaled $28.9 million, or 4.4% of our gross loan portfolio. Auto loans may be written for up to six years and usually have fixed rates of interest. Loan to value ratios are up to 100% of the sale price for new autos and 110% of value on used cars, based on valuation from official used car guides.

            Our boat and recreational vehicle loans are generally originated on an indirect basis. We utilize an independent company to market our loan products and help service and collect our boat and RV loans, keeping down our marketing, collection and related personnel costs. We pay a fee based on a percentage of the loan amounts originated through this company as well as monthly service fees, for these services. We pay dealers a premium for each loan based on the interest rate charged on each loan. We amortize this premium, which is usually significantly smaller than the premium we pay dealers for our indirect auto loans, over the estimated life of each loan.

            For a few of our largest boat and RV dealers, we also offer a program where we pay for each loan on a rate basis, just as with our indirect auto loans. Under this program, however, we pay only a portion of the cash payment due, holding back a reserve in a Mutual Federal savings account. This dealer holdback is released to the dealer pro-rata over the life of the loan.

            We underwrite indirect boat and RV loans using the Fair-Isaacs credit scoring system and, as with our indirect auto loans, tend to accept only the more qualified buyers based on our scoring.

            Loans for boats and recreational vehicles totaled $69.9 million at December 31, 2000, or 10.7% of our gross loan portfolio. This has been the fastest growing portion of our consumer loan portfolio over the past five years. We will finance up to 100% of the purchase price for a new recreational vehicle and 95% for a new boat. The maximum loan to value ratio is 100% for used recreational vehicles and 95% for boats. Values are based on the applicable official used vehicle guides. The term to maturity for these types of loans is up to 10 years for used boats and recreational vehicles and up to 15 years for new boats and recreational vehicles. These loans are generally written with fixed rates of interest.

            At December 31, 2000, manufactured housing loans totaled $9.9 million, or 1.5% of our gross loan portfolio. This amount has decreased significantly over the last five years, due to increased competition. Manufactured housing loans are offered at fixed or adjustable rates of interest for terms up to 25 years, and at a maximum loan to value ratio of 95%.

            Consumer loans may entail greater risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, especially consumer loans secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles, boats and recreational vehicles. In these cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. As a result, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability and, thus, are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.

             Commercial Business Lending . At December 31, 2000, commercial business loans totaled $26.4 million, or 4% of our gross loan portfolio. Most of our commercial business loans have been extended to finance local businesses and include short term loans to finance machinery and equipment purchases, inventory and accounts receivable. Commercial business loans also involve the extension of revolving credit for a combination of equipment acquisitions and working capital needs and agricultural purposes such as seed, farm equipment and livestock.

            The terms of loans extended on the security of machinery and equipment are based on the projected useful life of the machinery and equipment, generally not to exceed seven years. Lines of credit generally are available to borrowers for up to 13 months, and may be renewed by us.

            We issue a few financial-based standby letters of credit which are offered at competitive rates and terms and are generally on a secured basis. We are attempting to expand our volume of commercial business loans.

            Our commercial business lending policy includes credit file documentation and analysis of the borrower's background, capacity to repay the loan, the adequacy of the borrower's capital and collateral as well as an evaluation of other conditions affecting the borrower. Analysis of the borrower's past, present and future cash flows also is an important aspect of our credit analysis. We generally obtain personal guarantees on our commercial business loans. Nonetheless, these loans are believed to carry higher credit risk than traditional single family loans.

            Unlike residential mortgage loans, commercial business loans are typically made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower's business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may substantially depend on the success of the business itself (which, in turn, often depends in part upon general economic conditions). Our commercial business loans are usually secured by business assets. However, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.

Loan Originations, Purchases, Sales and Repayments

            We originate loans through referrals from real estate brokers and builders, our marketing efforts, and our existing and walk-in customers. We also originate many of our consumer loans through relationships with dealerships. While we originate both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans, our ability to originate loans depends upon customer demand for loans in our market areas. Demand is affected by local competition and the interest rate environment. During the last several years, due to low market interest rates, our dollar volume of fixed-rate, one- to four-family loans has exceeded the dollar volume of the same type of adjustable-rate loans. From time to time, we sell fixed rate, one- to four-family residential loans. We have also, on a very limited basis, purchased one- to four-family residential and commercial real estate loans. Furthermore, during the past few years, we, like many other financial institutions, have experienced significant prepayments on loans due to the low interest rate environment prevailing in the United States.

            In periods of economic uncertainty, the ability of financial institutions, including us, to originate or purchase large dollar volumes of real estate loans may be substantially reduced or restricted, with a resultant decrease in interest income.

Asset Quality

            When a borrower fails to make a payment on a mortgage loan on or before the default date, a late charge notice is mailed 16 days after the due date. When the loan is 31 days past due (16 days for an ARM), we mail a delinquency notice to the borrower. All delinquent accounts are reviewed by a collector, who attempts to cure the delinquency by contacting the borrower once the loan is 30 days past due. If the loan becomes 60 days delinquent, the collector will generally contact the borrower by phone or send a letter to the borrower in order to identify the reason for the delinquency. Once the loan becomes 90 days delinquent, the borrower is asked to pay the delinquent amount in full, or establish an acceptable repayment plan to bring the loan current. Between 100 and 120 days delinquent a drive-by inspection is made. If the account becomes 120 days delinquent, and an acceptable repayment plan has not been agreed upon, a collection officer will generally refer the account to legal counsel, with instructions to prepare a notice of intent to foreclose. The notice of intent to foreclose allows the borrower up to 30 days to bring the account current. During this 30 day period, the collector may accept a written repayment plan from the borrower which would bring the account current within the next 90 days. If the loan becomes 150 days delinquent and an acceptable repayment plan has not been agreed upon, the collection officer will turn over the account to our legal counsel with instructions to initiate foreclosure.

            For consumer loans, a similar process is followed, with the initial written contact being made once the loan is 30 days past due.

             Delinquent Loans. The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2000, our loans delinquent 60 - 89 days by type, number, amount and percentage of type.

             Non-performing Assets. The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in our loan portfolio at the dates indicated. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when the loan becomes more than 90 days delinquent. At all dates presented, we had no troubled debt restructurings which involve forgiving a portion of interest or principal on any loans or making loans at a rate materially less than that of market rates. Foreclosed assets owned include assets acquired in settlement of loans.

            For the year ended December 31, 2000, gross interest income which would have been recorded had the non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $126,900. The amount included in interest income on these loans for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $81,300.
            At December 31, 1997, foreclosed commercial real estate consisted of two properties acquired during 1997 from a troubled debtor. The properties, comprised of a 50 unit apartment building and a food pantry, were sold in 1998.

            At December 31, 2000, foreclosed commercial real estate consisted of an office building in Muncie, which is currently being offered for sale and the remaining condominium units in a project acquired from a troubled debtor. Based on the sales of other units in this project, the condominiums are expected to generate sufficient funds to result in 100% recovery of the outstanding principal. In addition, one residential property was acquired in 2000 with a book value of $62,000. This property is also being offered for sale.

             Other Loans of Concern. In addition to the non-performing assets set forth in the table above, as of December 31, 2000, there was an aggregate of $3.4 million in loans with respect to which known information about the possible credit problems of the borrowers have caused management to have doubts as to the abilities of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such items in the non-performing asset categories. These loans have been considered in management's determination of the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses.

            Included in the $3.4 million above are one multi-family loan totaling $419,000, two commercial business loans totaling $96,000 and four nursing home loans totaling $2.9 million. All of these loans, according to financial statements submitted by the borrowers, indicate insufficient cash flow to meet all expenses. All of the above loans were current as of December 31, 2000.

             Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered by the Office of Thrift Supervision to be of lesser quality, as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss." An asset is considered "substandard" if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. "Substandard" assets include those characterized by the "distinct possibility" that the insured institution will sustain "some loss" if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as "doubtful" have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified "substandard," with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in full," on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, "highly questionable and improbable." Assets classified as "loss" are those considered "uncollectible" and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

            When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management and approved by the board of directors. General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as "loss," it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge off such amount. An institution's determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC, which may order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.

            In connection with the filing of Mutual Federal's periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and in accordance with our classification of assets policy, we regularly review the problem assets in our portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. On the basis of management's review, at December 31, 2000, we had classified $4.1 million of Mutual Federal's assets as substandard and $883,000 as loss. We did not classify any assets as doubtful. The total amount classified represented 4.8% of our stockholders' equity and 0.65% of our assets at December 31, 2000.

             Provision for Loan Losses . We recorded a provision for loan losses during the year ended December 31, 2000 of $685,000, compared to $760,000 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 and $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The provision for loan losses is charged to income to bring our allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on the factors discussed below under "-- Allowance for Loan Losses." The provision for loan losses during the year ended December 31, 2000 was based on management's review of such factors which indicated that the allowance for loan losses was adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of December 31, 2000.

             Allowance for Loan Losses . We maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, which include the formula allowance, specific allowances for identified problem loans and portfolio segments and the unallocated allowance. In addition, the allowance incorporates the results of measuring impaired loans as provided in SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." These accounting standards prescribe the measurement methods, income recognition and disclosures related to impaired loans.

            The formula allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans based on the internal risk evaluation of such loans or pools of loans. Changes in risk evaluations of both performing and nonperforming loans affect the amount of the formula allowance. Loss factors are based on our historical loss experience as well as on significant factors that, in management's judgment, affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.

            The appropriateness of the allowance is reviewed by management based upon its evaluation of then-existing economic and business conditions affecting our key lending areas and other conditions, such as credit quality trends (including trends in nonperforming loans expected to result from existing conditions), collateral values, loan volumes and concentrations, specific industry conditions within portfolio segments and recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio that existed as of the balance sheet date and the impact that such conditions were believed to have had on the collectibility of the loan. Senior management reviews these conditions quarterly in discussions with our senior credit officers. To the extent that any of these conditions is evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management's estimate of the effect of such condition may be reflected as a specific allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio segment. Where any of these conditions is not evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the



16
NEXT PAGE




evaluation date, management's evaluation of the loss related to this condition is reflected in the unallocated allowance. The evaluation of the inherent loss with respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments.

            The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates of losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Actual losses can vary significantly from the estimated amounts. Our methodology as described permits adjustments to any loss factor used in the computation of the formula allowance in the event that, in management's judgment, significant factors which affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date are not reflected in the loss factors. By assessing the estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis, we are able to adjust specific and inherent loss estimates based upon any more recent information that has become available. Due to the loss of numerous manufacturing jobs in the local community during recent years and the increase in higher risk loans, like consumer and commercial loans, as a percentage of total loans, management has concluded that our allowance for loan losses should be greater than historical loss experience would otherwise indicate.

            At December 31, 2000, our allowance for loan losses was $6.5 million, or 1.01% of the total loan portfolio, and approximately 189% of total non-performing loans. Assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective as it requires making material estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans, that are susceptible to significant change. In the opinion of management, the allowance, when taken as a whole, is adequate to absorb reasonable estimated loan losses inherent in our loan portfolio.

Investment Activities

            Federally chartered savings institutions may invest in various types of liquid assets, including United States Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies, including callable agency securities, certain certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers' acceptances, repurchase agreements and federal funds. Subject to various restrictions, federally chartered savings institutions also may invest in investment grade commercial paper and corporate debt securities and mutual funds the assets of which conform to the investments that a federally chartered savings institution is otherwise authorized to make directly. See "How We Are Regulated - Mutual Federal" and "- Qualified Thrift Lender Test" for a discussion of additional restrictions on our investment activities.

            The Chief Financial Officer has the basic responsibility for the management of our investment portfolio, subject to the direction and guidance of the asset and liability management committee. The Chief Financial Officer considers various factors when making decisions, including the marketability, maturity and tax consequences of the proposed investment. The maturity structure of investments will be affected by various market conditions, including the current and anticipated slope of the yield curve, the level of interest rates, the trend of new deposit inflows, and the anticipated demand for funds via deposit withdrawals and loan originations and purchases.

            The general objectives of our investment portfolio are to provide liquidity when loan demand is high, to assist in maintaining earnings when loan demand is low and to maximize earnings while satisfactorily managing risk, including credit risk, reinvestment risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk" contained in our Annual Report to Stockholders, filed as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K.

            Our investment securities currently consist of U.S. Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, marketable equity securities (which consist of shares in mutual funds that invest in government obligations, corporate obligations and mortgage-backed securities) and corporate obligations. See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report to Stockholders, filed as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K. Our mortgage-backed securities portfolio currently consists of securities issued under government-sponsored agency programs.

            While mortgage-backed securities carry a reduced credit risk as compared to whole loans, these securities remain subject to the risk that a fluctuating interest rate environment, along with other factors like the geographic distribution of the underlying mortgage loans, may alter the prepayment rate of the mortgage loans and affect both the prepayment speed and value of the securities.

            At times over the past several years, we also have maintained a trading portfolio of U.S. Government securities. At December 31, 2000, we did not maintain a trading portfolio. However, we are permitted by the board of directors to have a portfolio of up to $5.0 million, and to trade up to $2.0 million in these securities at any one time. See Note 5 of the Notes to

Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report to Stockholders, filed as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K.

            Mutual Federal has investments in six separate Indiana limited partnerships that were organized to construct, own and operate four multi-unit apartment complexes in the Indianapolis area, one in Findley, Ohio and one in Niles, Michigan (the Pedcor Projects). The general partner in each of these Pedcor Projects is Pedcor Investments. We have no financial or other relationships with Pedcor Investments. The four Indianapolis area Pedcor Projects and the Pedcor project located in Niles, Michigan, are operated as multi-family, low and moderate-income housing projects, and have been performing as planned for several years. The Findley, Ohio Pedcor Project, which also is operated as a multi-family, low and moderate-income housing project, was completed in 2000. At the inception of the Findley, Ohio Pedcor Project in February 1998, we invested $2.1 million and committed to invest an additional $1.9 million. As of December 31, 2000, $1.7 million of this commitment remained payable over the next nine years. At the inception of the Niles, Michigan Project in August 1997, we committed to invest $3.6 million over ten years. As of December 31, 2000, $2.4 million remained payable over the next seven years.

            A low and moderate-income housing project qualifies for certain federal income tax credits if (1) it is a residential rental property, (2) the units are used on a non-transient basis, and (3) at least 20% of the units in the project are occupied by tenants whose incomes are 50% or less of the area median gross income, adjusted for family size, or alternatively, at least 40% of the units in the project are occupied by tenants whose incomes are 60% or less of the area median gross income. Qualified low-income housing projects generally must comply with these and other rules for 15 years, beginning with the first year the project qualified for the tax credit, or some or all of the tax credit together with interest may be recaptured. The tax credit is subject to the limitation as the use of general business credit, but no basis reduction is required for any portion of the tax credit claimed. As of December 31, 2000, at least 90% of the units in the Indianapolis area Pedcor Projects were occupied, and all of the tenants met the income test required for the tax credits.

            We received tax credits of $158,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000, and $262,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 from the Indianapolis Pedcor Projects. We also received a tax credit of $151,000 from the Findley, Ohio project , and $30,000 from the Niles, Michigan project. Additionally, the Pedcor Projects have incurred operating losses in the early years of their operations primarily due to accelerated depreciation of assets. We have accounted for our investment in five of the six Pedcor Projects on the equity method. Accordingly, we have recorded our share of these losses as reductions to Mutual Federal's investment in the Pedcor Projects. Mutual Federal has less than a 20% ownership interest in the remaining Pedcor Project, and we have recorded its investment in this project at amortized cost.

Sources of Funds

             General. Our sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, payment of principal and interest on loans, interest earned on or maturation of other investment securities and funds provided from operations.

             Deposits . We offer deposit accounts to consumers and businesses having a wide range of interest rates and terms. Our deposits consist of passbook accounts, money market deposit accounts, NOW and demand accounts and certificates of deposit. We solicit deposits in our market areas and have not accepted brokered deposits. We primarily rely on competitive pricing policies, marketing and customer service to attract and retain these deposits.

            The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market and prevailing interest rates, and competition. The variety of our deposit accounts has allowed us to be competitive in obtaining funds and to respond to changes in consumer demand. We have become more susceptible to short-term fluctuations in deposit flows, as customers have become more interest rate conscious. We try to manage the pricing of our deposits in keeping with our asset/liability management, liquidity and profitability objectives, subject to competitive factors. Based on our experience, we believe that our deposits are relatively stable sources of funds. Our ability to attract and maintain these deposits, however, and the rates paid on them, has been and will continue to be affected significantly by market conditions.

             Borrowings . Although deposits are our primary source of funds, we may utilize borrowings when they are a less costly source of funds and can be invested at a positive interest rate spread, when we desire additional capacity to fund loan demand or when they meet our asset/liability management goals. Our borrowings historically have consisted of advances from

the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and securities sold under agreement to repurchase. See Notes 10 and 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report to Stockholders, filed as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K.

            We may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis upon the security of certain of our mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. These advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate, range of maturities and call features. At December 31, 2000, we had $112.5 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding.

Subsidiary and Other Activities

            As a federally chartered savings bank, Mutual Federal is permitted by Office of Thrift Supervision regulations to invest up to 2% of its assets, or $15.3 million at December 31, 2000, in the stock of, or unsecured loans to, service corporation subsidiaries. Mutual Federal may invest an additional 1% of its assets in service corporations where such additional funds are used for inner-city or community development purposes.

            At December 31, 2000, Mutual Federal had three active subsidiaries, First M.F.S.B. Corporation, Third M.F.S.B. Corporation and First Marion Service Corporation. First M.F.S.B. owns stock in Family Financial Life Insurance Company, a life and accident and health insurance company chartered in Indiana. Family Financial Life primarily sells mortgage and credit life insurance, as well as accident and disability insurance. It also issues and services annuity contracts. As of December 31, 2000, Mutual Federal's total investment in this subsidiary was $780,000. For the year ended December 31, 2000, First M.F.S.B. reported net income of $61,800, which consisted of dividends from Family Financial Life.

            Third M.F.S.B., which does business as Mutual Financial Services, offers tax-deferred annuities, long-term health and life insurance products. All securities related products and services made available through Mutual Financial Services are offered by a third party independent broker-dealer. As of December 31, 2000, Mutual Federal's total investment in this subsidiary was $76,200. For the year ended December 31, 2000, Third M.F.S.B. reported net income of $157,500, which consisted of commissions less expenses.

            First Marion Service Corporation ("First Marion") is engaged in the sale of tax deferred annuities and mutual funds pursuant to an arrangement with several independent brokers. In

addition, First Marion provides 100% financing to borrowers of the Bank by providing 20% second mortgages behind the Bank's 80% mortgage. Such loans amounted to $2.6 million at December 31, 2000. This service corporation will be dissolved in the first quarter of 2001 and the assets and liabilities will be merged into the Bank.

Competition

            We face strong competition in originating real estate and other loans and in attracting deposits. Competition in originating real estate loans comes primarily from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and mortgage bankers. Other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and finance companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending.

            We attract our deposits through our branch office system. Competition for deposits comes principally from other savings institutions, commercial banks and credit unions located in the same community, as well as mutual funds and other alternative investments. We compete for deposits by offering superior service and a variety of account types at competitive rates.

Employees

            At December 31, 2000, we had a total of 188 full-time and 61 part-time employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management considers its employee relations to be good.

HOW WE ARE REGULATED


            Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws and regulations which apply to us. This description, as well as other descriptions of laws and regulations contained in this Form 10-K, is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations.

            Legislation is introduced from time to time in the United States Congress that may affect our operations. In addition, the regulations by which we are governed may be amended from time to time. Any such legislation or regulatory changes could adversely affect us. We cannot assure you as to whether or in what form any such changes will occur.

General

            Mutual Federal, as a federally chartered savings institution, is subject to federal regulation and oversight by the Office of Thrift Supervision extending to all aspects of Mutual Federal's operations. Mutual Federal also is subject to regulation and examination by the FDIC, which insures the deposits of Mutual Federal to the maximum extent permitted by law, and to requirements of the Federal Reserve Board. Federally chartered savings institutions are required to file periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and are subject to periodic examinations by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC. The investment and lending authority of savings institutions are prescribed by federal laws and regulations, and savings

institutions are prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws and regulations. This regulation and supervision primarily is intended for the protection of depositors and not for the purpose of protecting stockholders.

            The Office of Thrift Supervision regularly examines Mutual Federal and prepares reports for the consideration of Mutual Federal's board of directors on any deficiencies that it may find in Mutual Federal's operations. The FDIC also has the authority to examine Mutual Federal in its role as the administrator of the Savings Association Insurance Fund. Mutual Federal's relationship with its depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by both Federal and state laws, especially in such matters as the ownership of savings accounts and the form and content of Mutual Federal's mortgage requirements. Any change in these laws and regulations, whether by the FDIC, the Office of Thrift Supervision or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on our operations.

MutualFirst Financial, Inc.

            Pursuant to regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision and the terms of MutualFirst 's Maryland articles of incorporation, the purpose and powers of MutualFirst are to pursue any or all of the lawful objectives of a thrift holding company and to exercise any of the powers accorded to a thrift holding company.

            If Mutual Federal fails the qualified thrift lender test, MutualFirst must obtain the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision prior to continuing, directly or through other subsidiaries, any business activity other than those approved for multiple thrift companies or their subsidiaries. In addition, within one year of such failure MutualFirst must register as, and will become subject to, the restrictions applicable to bank holding companies. The activities authorized for a bank holding company are more limited than the activities authorized for a unitary or multiple thrift holding company. See "- Qualified Thrift Lender Test."

Mutual Federal

            The Office of Thrift Supervision has extensive authority over the operations of savings institutions. Mutual Federal is required to file periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and is subject to periodic examinations by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC. The last regular Office of Thrift Supervision examination of Mutual Federal was as of September 30, 2000. When these examinations are conducted by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC, the examiners may require Mutual Federal to provide for higher general or specific loan loss reserves. All savings institutions are subject to a semi-annual assessment, based upon the savings institution's total assets, to fund the operations of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Mutual Federal's Office of Thrift Supervision assessment for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $105,159.

            The Office of Thrift Supervision also has extensive enforcement authority over all savings institutions and their holding companies, including Mutual Federal and MutualFirst . This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions. In

general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision. Except under certain circumstances, final enforcement actions by the Office of Thrift Supervision must be publicly disclosed.

            In addition, the investment, lending and branching authority of Mutual Federal is prescribed by federal laws and it is prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws. For instance, no savings institution may invest in non-investment grade corporate debt securities. In addition, the permissible level of investment by federal institutions in loans secured by non-residential real property may not exceed 400% of total capital, except with approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Federal savings institutions are also generally authorized to branch nationwide. Mutual Federal is in compliance with the noted restrictions.

            Mutual Federal's general permissible lending limit for loans-to-one-borrower is equal to the greater of $500,000 or 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus (except for loans fully secured by certain readily marketable collateral, in which case this limit is increased to 25% of unimpaired capital and surplus). At December 31, 2000, Mutual Federal's lending limit under this restriction was $15.6 million. Mutual Federal is in compliance with the loans-to-one-borrower limitation.

            The Office of Thrift Supervision, as well as the other federal banking agencies, has adopted guidelines establishing safety and soundness standards on such matters as loan underwriting and documentation, asset quality, earnings standards, internal controls and audit systems, interest rate risk exposure and compensation and other employee benefits. Any institution which fails to comply with these standards must submit a compliance plan.

Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC

            Mutual Federal is a member of the Savings Association Insurance Fund, which is administered by the FDIC. Deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the FDIC and such insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. As insurer, the FDIC imposes deposit insurance premiums and is authorized to conduct examinations of and to require reporting by FDIC-insured institutions. It also may prohibit any FDIC-insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious risk to the Savings Association Insurance Fund or the Bank Insurance Fund. The FDIC also has the authority to initiate enforcement actions against savings institutions, after giving the Office of Thrift Supervision an opportunity to take such action, and may terminate an institution's deposit insurance if it determines that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.

            The FDIC's deposit insurance premiums are assessed through a risk-based system under which all insured depository institutions are placed into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon their level of capital and supervisory evaluation. Under the system, institutions classified as well capitalized (i.e., a core capital ratio of at least 5%, a ratio of Tier 1 or core capital to risk-weighted assets ("Tier 1 risk-based capital") of at least 6% and a


31
NEXT PAGE




risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%) and considered healthy pay the lowest premium while institutions that are less than adequately capitalized (i.e., core or Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of less than 4% or a risk-based capital ratio of less than 8%) and considered of substantial supervisory concern pay the highest premium. Risk classification of all insured institutions is made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period.

            The FDIC is authorized to increase assessment rates, on a semi-annual basis, if it determines that the reserve ratio of the Savings Association Insurance Fund will be less than the designated reserve ratio of 1.25% of Savings Association Insurance Fund insured deposits. In setting these increased assessments, the FDIC must seek to restore the reserve ratio to that designated reserve level, or such higher reserve ratio as established by the FDIC. The FDIC also may impose special assessments on Savings Association Insurance Fund members to repay amounts borrowed from the United States Treasury or for any other reason deemed necessary by the FDIC.

            Since January 1, 1997, the premium schedule for Bank Insurance Fund and Savings Association Insurance Fund insured institutions has ranged from 0 to 27 basis points. However, insured institutions are required to pay a Financing Corporation assessment, in order to fund the interest on bonds issued to resolve thrift failures in the 1980s. For both Savings Association Insurance Fund insured institutions, and Bank Insurance Fund insured institutions this assessment is 2.02 basis points for each $100 in domestic deposits. The assessment, which may be revised further based upon the level of Bank Insurance Fund and Savings Association Insurance Fund deposits, will continue until the bonds mature in the year 2017.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

            Federally insured savings institutions, such as Mutual Federal, are required to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital. The Office of Thrift Supervision has established capital standards, including a tangible capital requirement, a leverage ratio or core capital requirement and a risk-based capital requirement applicable to such savings institutions. These capital requirements must be generally as stringent as the comparable capital requirements for national banks. The Office of Thrift Supervision also may impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual institutions on a case-by-case basis.

            The capital regulations require tangible capital of at least 1.5% of adjusted total assets, as defined by regulation. Tangible capital generally includes common stockholders' equity and retained income, and certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related income. In addition, all intangible assets, other than a limited amount of purchased mortgage servicing rights, must be deducted from tangible capital for calculating compliance with the requirement. At December 31, 2000, Mutual Federal had $1.3 million of intangible assets.

            At December 31, 2000, Mutual Federal had tangible capital of $103.9 million, or 13.6% of adjusted total assets, which is approximately $92.4 million above the minimum requirement of 1.5% of adjusted total assets in effect on that date.


32
NEXT PAGE





            The capital standards also require core capital equal to at least 3.0% of adjusted total assets. Core capital generally consists of tangible capital plus certain intangible assets, including a limited amount of purchased credit card relationships. As a result of the prompt corrective action provisions discussed below, however, a savings institution must maintain a core capital ratio of at least 4.0% to be considered adequately capitalized unless its supervisory condition is such to allow it to maintain a 3.0% ratio. At December 31, 2000, Mutual Federal had $1.3 million of intangible assets which were subject to these tests.

            At December 31, 2000, Mutual Federal had core capital equal to $103.9 million, or 13.6% of adjusted total assets, which is $81 million above the minimum requirement of 3.0% in effect on that date.

            The Office of Thrift Supervision also requires savings institutions to have total capital of at least 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. Total capital consists of core capital, as defined above, and supplementary capital. Supplementary capital consists of certain permanent and maturing capital instruments that do not qualify as core capital and general valuation loan and lease loss allowances up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Supplementary capital may be used to satisfy the risk-based requirement only to the extent of core capital. The Office of Thrift Supervision is also authorized to require a savings institution to maintain an additional amount of total capital to account for concentration of credit risk and the risk of non-traditional activities. At December 31, 2000, Mutual Federal had $ 5.7 million of general loan loss reserves, which was less than 1.25% of risk-weighted assets.

            In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, will be multiplied by a risk weight, ranging from 0% to 100%, based on the risk inherent in the type of asset. For example, the Office of Thrift Supervision has assigned a risk weight of 50% for prudently underwritten permanent one- to four-family first lien mortgage loans not more than 90 days delinquent and having a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 80% at origination unless insured to such ratio by an insurer approved by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

            As of December 31, 2000, Mutual Federal had total risk-based capital of $109.6 million and risk-weighted assets of $528.5 million; or total capital of 20.7% of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $67.3 million above the 8.0% requirement in effect on that date.

            The Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC are authorized and, under certain circumstances, required to take actions against savings institutions that fail to meet their capital requirements. The Office of Thrift Supervision is generally required to restrict the activities of an "undercapitalized institution," which is an institution with less than either a 4% core capital ratio, a 4% Tier 1 risked-based capital ratio or an 8.0% risk-based capital ratio. Any such institution must submit a capital restoration plan and, until such plan is approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision, may not increase its assets, acquire another institution, establish a branch or engage in any new activities, and generally may not make capital distributions. The Office of Thrift Supervision is authorized to impose the additional restrictions that are applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions.


33
NEXT PAGE





            As a condition to the approval of the capital restoration plan, any company controlling an undercapitalized institution must agree that it will enter into a limited capital maintenance guarantee with respect to the institution's achievement of its capital requirements.

            Any savings institution that fails to comply with its capital plan or has Tier 1 risk-based or core capital ratio of less than 3.0% or a risk-based capital ratio of less than 6.0% and is considered "significantly undercapitalized" must be made subject to one or more additional specified actions and operating restrictions which may cover all aspects of its operations and may include a forced merger or acquisition of the institution. An institution that becomes "critically undercapitalized" because it has a tangible capital ratio of 2.0% or less is subject to further restrictions on its activities in addition to those applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision must appoint a receiver, or conservator with the concurrence of the FDIC, for a savings institution, with certain limited exceptions, within 90 days after it becomes critically undercapitalized. Any undercapitalized institution is also subject to the general enforcement authority of the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC, including the appointment of a conservator or a receiver.

            The Office of Thrift Supervision is also generally authorized to reclassify an institution into a lower capital category and impose the restrictions applicable to such category if the institution is engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.

            The imposition by the Office of Thrift Supervision or the FDIC of any of these measures on Mutual Federal may have a substantial adverse effect on our operations and profitability.

Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions

            Office of Thrift Supervision regulations impose various restrictions on distributions of capital, which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers and other transactions charged to the capital account.

            Generally, savings institutions, such as Mutual Federal, that before and after the proposed distribution remain well-capitalized, may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to the greater of 100% of net income for the year-to-date plus retained net income for the two preceding years. However, an institution deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision may have its dividend authority restricted by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Mutual Federal may pay dividends in accordance with this general authority.

            Savings institutions proposing to make any capital distribution need not submit written notice to the Office of Thrift Supervision prior to such distribution unless they are a subsidiary of a holding company or would not remain well-capitalized following the distribution. Savings institutions that do not, or would not meet their current minimum capital requirements following a proposed capital distribution or propose to exceed these net income limitations must obtain Office of Thrift Supervision approval prior to making such distribution. The Office of Thrift Supervision may object to the distribution during that 30-day period based on safety and soundness concerns. See "- Regulatory Capital Requirements."

Qualified Thrift Lender Test

            All savings institutions, including Mutual Federal, are required to meet a qualified thrift lender test to avoid certain restrictions on their operations. This test requires a savings institution to have at least 65% of its portfolio assets, as defined by regulation, in qualified thrift investments on a monthly average for nine out of every 12 months on a rolling basis. As an alternative, the savings institution may maintain 60% of its assets in the assets specified in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under either test, such assets primarily consist of residential housing related loans and investments. At December 31, 2000, Mutual Federal met the test and has always met the test since its effectiveness.

            Any savings institution that fails to meet the qualified thrift lender test must convert to a national bank charter, unless it requalifies as a qualified thrift lender and thereafter remains a qualified thrift lender. If an institution does not requalify and converts to a national bank charter, it must remain Savings Association Insurance Fund-insured until the FDIC permits it to transfer to the Bank Insurance Fund. If such an institution has not yet requalified or converted to a national bank, its new investments and activities are limited to those permissible for both a savings institution and a national bank, and it is limited to national bank branching rights in its home state. In addition, the institution is immediately ineligible to receive any new Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and is subject to national bank limits for payment of dividends. If such an institution has not requalified or converted to a national bank within three years after the failure, it must divest of all investments and cease all activities not permissible for a national bank. In addition, it must repay promptly any outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, which may result in prepayment penalties. If any institution that fails the qualified thrift lender test is controlled by a holding company, then within one year after the failure, the holding company must register as a bank holding company and become subject to all restrictions on bank holding companies.

Community Reinvestment Act

            Under the Community Reinvestment Act, every FDIC-insured institution is obligated, consistent with safe and sound banking practices, to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The Community Reinvestment Act does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution's discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act requires the Office of Thrift Supervision, in connection with the examination of Mutual Federal, to assess the institution's record of meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of certain applications, such as a merger or the establishment of a branch. An unsatisfactory rating may be used as the basis for the denial of an application. Due to the heightened attention being given to the Community Reinvestment Act in the past few years, Mutual Federal may be required to devote additional funds for investment and lending in its local community. Mutual Federal was examined for Community Reinvestment Act compliance in January 2000, and received a rating of satisfactory.

Transactions with Affiliates

            Generally, transactions between a savings institution or its subsidiaries and its affiliates are required to be on terms as favorable to the institution as transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain of these transactions, such as loans to an affiliate, are restricted to a percentage of the institution's capital. Affiliates of Mutual Federal include MutualFirst and any company which is under common control with Mutual Federal. In addition, a savings institution may not lend to any affiliate engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding company or acquire the securities of most affiliates. The Office of Thrift Supervision has the discretion to treat subsidiaries of savings institutions as affiliates on a case by case basis.

            Certain transactions with directors, officers or controlling persons are also subject to conflict of interest regulations enforced by the Office of Thrift Supervision. These conflict of interest regulations and other statutes also impose restrictions on loans to such persons and their related interests. Among other things, such loans must generally be made on terms substantially the same as loans to unaffiliated individuals.

Federal Securities Law

            The common stock of MutualFirst is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. MutualFirst is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements of the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

             MutualFirst stock held by persons who are affiliates of MutualFirst may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. Affiliates are generally considered to be officers, directors and principal stockholders. If MutualFirst meets specified current public information requirements, each affiliate of MFS Financial is permitted to sell in the public market, without registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month period.

Federal Reserve System

            The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain non-interest bearing reserves at specified levels against their transaction accounts, primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW checking accounts. At December 31, 2000, Mutual Federal was in compliance with these reserve requirements. The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements that may be imposed by the Office of Thrift Supervision.

            Savings institutions are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank "discount window," but Federal Reserve Board regulations require institutions to exhaust other reasonable alternative sources of funds, including Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank.

Federal Home Loan Bank System

            Mutual Federal is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, which is one of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks that administers the home financing credit function of savings institutions. Each Federal Home Loan Bank serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. It makes loans or advances to members in accordance with policies and procedures established by the board of directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank, which are subject to the oversight of the Federal Housing Finance Board. All advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank are required to be fully secured by collateral deemed sufficient by the Federal Home Loan Bank. In addition, all long-term advances must be used for residential home financing.

            As a member, Mutual Federal is required to purchase and hold stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. At December 31, 2000, Mutual Federal had $7.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank stock, which was in compliance with this requirement. In past years, Mutual Federal has received substantial dividends on its Federal Home Loan Bank stock. Over the past five fiscal years, these dividends have averaged 8.09% and were 8.25% for 2000.

            Under federal law, the Federal Home Loan Banks must provide funds for the resolution of troubled savings institutions and contribute to low- and moderately priced housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing projects. These contributions have affected adversely the level of Federal Home Loan Bank dividends paid and could continue to do so in the future. These contributions also could affect adversely the future value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock. A reduction in value of Mutual Federal's Federal Home Loan Bank stock may result in a corresponding reduction in Mutual Federal's capital.

            For the year ended December 31, 2000, dividends paid to Mutual Federal by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis totaled $457,000, as compared to $318,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Federal Taxation

             General. We are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize certain pertinent federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to us. Mutual Federal's federal income tax returns have been closed without audit by the IRS through its year ended December 31, 1995. MutualFirst and Mutual Federal will file a consolidated federal income tax return for fiscal year 2000, the first taxable year after completion of the conversion.

             Bad Debt Reserves . Prior to the Small Business Job Protection Act, Mutual Federal was permitted to establish a reserve for bad debts under the percentage of taxable income method and to make annual additions to the reserve utilizing that method. These additions could, within specified formula limits, be deducted in arriving at taxable income. As a result of the Small


37
NEXT PAGE




Business Job Protection Act, savings associations of Mutual Federal's size may now use the experience method in computing bad debt deductions beginning with their 1996 federal tax return. In addition, federal legislation requires Mutual Federal to recapture, over a six year period, the excess of tax bad debt reserves at December 31, 1997 over those established as of the base year reserve balance as of December 31, 1987. As of December 31, 2000 the amount of Mutual Federal's reserves subject to recapture were approximately $269,000.

             Taxable Distributions and Recapture. Prior to the Small Business Job Protection Act, bad debt reserves created prior to the year ended December 31, 1997 were subject to recapture into taxable income if Mutual Federal failed to meet certain thrift asset and definitional tests. Recent federal legislation eliminated these thrift related recapture rules. However, under current law, pre-1988 reserves remain subject to recapture should Mutual Federal make certain non-dividend distributions or cease to maintain a thrift/bank charter.

             Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences, called alternative minimum taxable income. The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent such alternative minimum taxable income is in excess of an exemption amount. Net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. Mutual Federal has not been subject to the alternative minimum tax, and does not have any such amounts available as credits for carryover.

             Net Operating Loss Carryovers . A financial institution may carryback net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. This provision applies to losses incurred in taxable years beginning after August 6, 1997. For losses incurred in the taxable years prior to August 6, 1997, the carryback period was three years and the carryforward period was 15 years. At December 31, 2000, we had no net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

             Corporate Dividends-Received Deduction. MutualFirst may eliminate from its income dividends received from Mutual Federal as a wholly owned subsidiary of MFS Financial if it elects to file a consolidated return with Mutual Federal. The corporate dividends-received deduction is 100% or 80%, in the case of dividends received from corporations with which a corporate recipient does not file a consolidated tax return, depending on the level of stock ownership of the payor of the dividend. Corporations which own less than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend may deduct 70% of dividends received or accrued on their behalf.

State Taxation

            Mutual Federal is subject to Indiana's financial institutions tax, which is imposed at a flat rate of 8.5% on "adjusted gross income." "Adjusted gross income," for purposes of the financial institutions tax, begins with taxable income as defined by Section 63 of the Internal Revenue Code and incorporates federal tax law to the extent that it affects the computation of taxable income. Federal taxable income is then adjusted by several Indiana modifications.

            Other applicable state taxes include generally applicable sales and use taxes plus real and personal property taxes.

EXHIBIT 3(ii)


MUTUALFIRST FINANCIAL, INC.

AMENDED BYLAWS


ARTICLE I

STOCKHOLDERS


             Section 1.01. Annual Meeting . An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall each year fix.

             Section 1.02. Special Meetings . Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called by the President or by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies on the Board of Directors (hereinafter the "Whole Board"). Special meetings of the stockholders shall be called by the Secretary at the request of stockholders only on the written request of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting. Such written request will state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted upon at the meeting, and shall be delivered at the home office of the Corporation addressed to the President or the Secretary. The Secretary shall inform the stockholders who make the request of the reasonable estimated cost of preparing and mailing a notice of the meeting and, upon payment of these costs to the Corporation, notify each stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting.

             Section 1.03. Notice of Meetings . Not less than ten nor more than 90 days before each stockholders' meeting, the Secretary shall give written notice of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting and to each other stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting. The notice shall state the time and place of the meeting and, if the meeting is a special meeting or notice of the purpose is required by statute, the purpose of the meeting. Notice is given to a stockholder when it is personally delivered to the stockholder, left at the stockholder's usual place of business, or mailed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, each person who is entitled to notice waives notice if such person, before or after the meeting, signs a waiver of the notice which is filed with the records of the stockholders' meeting, or is present at the meeting in person or by proxy.

             Section 1.04. Adjournment. A meeting of stockholders convened on the date for which it was called may be adjourned from time to time without further notice to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date. At any adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

             Section 1.05. Quorum; Voting . At any meeting of the stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast at least one-third of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting constitutes a quorum for all purposes, unless or except to the extent that the presence of a larger number may be required by law. Where a separate vote by a class or classes is required, a majority of the shares of such class or classes, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. A majority of all votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient to approve any matter which properly comes before the meeting.

            If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, may adjourn the meeting to another place, date or time.

             Section 1.06. General Right to Vote; Proxies . Unless the Articles of Incorporation provides for a greater or lesser number of votes per share or limits or denies voting rights, each outstanding share of stock, regardless of class, is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders. In all elections for directors, directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast, and except as otherwise required by law or as provided in the Articles of Incorporation, all other matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast at the meeting.

            A stockholder may vote the stock the stockholder owns of record either in person or by proxy. A stockholder may sign a writing authorizing another person to act as proxy. Signing may be accomplished by the stockholder or the stockholder's authorized agent signing the writing or causing the stockholder's signature to be affixed to the writing by any reasonable means, including facsimile signature. A stockholder may authorize another person to act as proxy by transmitting, or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, datagram, or other means of electronic transmission to the person authorized to act as proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization, or other person authorized by the person who will act as proxy to receive the transmission. Unless a proxy provides otherwise, it is not valid more than 11 months after its date. A proxy is revocable by a stockholder at any time without condition or qualification unless the proxy states that it is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest. A proxy may be made irrevocable for so long as it is coupled with an interest. The interest with which a proxy may be coupled includes an interest in the stock to be voted under the proxy or another general interest in the Corporation or its asset or liabilities.

             Section 1.07. Conduct of Business .

            (a) The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him or her in order.

            (b) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (a) pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (c) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving

notice provided for in Section 1.09, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in Section 1.09. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at a special meeting of stockholders only pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.09 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with Section 1.09, to declare that such defective nomination or proposal be disregarded.

             Section 1.08. Conduct of Voting . The Board of Directors shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more persons as inspectors of election, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and make a written report thereof, in accordance with applicable law. At all meetings of stockholders the proxies and ballots shall be received, and all questions touching the qualification of voters and the validity of proxies, the acceptance or rejection of votes not otherwise specified by these Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation or law, shall be decided or determined by the inspector of elections . All voting, including on the election of directors but excepting where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefore by a stockholder entitled to vote or his or her proxy, a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by ballot, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. Every vote taken by ballot shall be counted by an inspector or inspectors appointed by the chairman of the meeting. No candidate for election as a director at a meeting shall serve as an inspector at such meeting.

             Section 1.09. Stockholder Proposals . For any stockholder proposal to be presented in connection with an annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (including proposals made under rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), including any nomination or proposal relating to the nomination of a director to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the stockholders must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days or more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the 120 th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90 th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of annual meeting was mailed or public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. No adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting shall commence a new period for the giving of notice of a stockholder proposal hereunder. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (b) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of

the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (c) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner and (ii) the class and number of shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholders and such beneficial owner.

             Section 1.10. Informal Action by Stockholders . Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting if there is filed with the records of the stockholders' meetings a unanimous written consent which sets forth the action and is signed by each stockholder entitled to vote on the matter and a written waiver of any right to dissent signed by each stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting but not entitled to vote at the meeting.

             Section 1.11. List of Stockholders . At each meeting of stockholders, a full, true and complete list of all stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, showing the number and class of shares held by each and certified by the transfer agent for such class or by the Secretary, shall be furnished by the Secretary.

At each annual meeting of stockholders, commencing with the first annual meeting, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election, with each director to hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

             Section 2.02. Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships . A vacancy on the board of Directors may be filled only in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation. Subject to the rights of the holders of any class of stock separately entitled to elect one or more directors, a majority of the remaining directors, whether or nor sufficient to constitute a quorum, may

fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors which results from any cause.

President's Letter
Annual Report

        MutualFirst Financial, Inc. completed its first full year as a public company in year 2000. I am pleased to bring you the Report of this first full year and I think you will be pleased with the results.

       As most of you know, we started 2000 under the name of MFS Financial, Inc. Early in 2000, we decided that a name change would be appropriate given our position in the market. MutualFirst Financial, Inc. was chosen to signify the commitment we have made to capitalize on the heritage of our business.













       At the corporate level, MutualFirst Financial, Inc. had an outstanding year. Late in 2000, MutualFirst completed a strategic alliance with Marion Capital Holdings, Inc. in Marion, Indiana. This alliance provides a winning combination for MutualFirst Financial shareholders. First, it expands the MutualFirst and Mutual Federal Savings Bank franchise. This is critical to bridging the gap between our Kosciusko County market and our Delaware County market. Marion Capital Holdings, through its subsidiary First Federal Savings Bank of Marion, enjoys the number one deposit market-share in Grant County, Indiana. First Federal of Marion also had a history of being a strong lender and was a very profitable bank. This strategic alliance is accretive to MutualFirst Financial's earnings and we look forward to enhanced performance through this alliance.

Our Grant County region is headed by Steven L. Banks, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, the former President and Chief Executive Officer of Marion Capital Holdings. Steve's leadership will ensure the successful integration of Marion Capital into our Company.

The operational conversion of Marion Capital into MutualFirst took countless hours by the officers and staff of both companies. I am pleased with the results of that transition and I am proud to say excellent customer service continued throughout this process. A successful transition like this is only possible with quality people working towards a common goal. I salute those staff members who made this happen. At Mutual Federal Savings Bank, operations produced an outstanding year in consumer lending. The general economy, as well as a commitment from our staff, created the opportunity for this substantial growth. In addition, Mutual Financial Services, a subsidiary corporation providing non-traditional investment products, had another outstanding year providing an option to bank products for customers in our markets. We also opened a new Delaware County office at 4710 E. Jackson Street in Muncie, Indiana.

Throughout 2000, we continued to make significant progress towards achieving our strategic goals. Our strategic plan has guided the activities that are described in this Report. I am proud of the accomplishments Mutual Federal Savings Bank has made in achieving its strategic objectives, and of the effort put forth by our staff in this year of change. As we look to 2001, we look to continue to make progress in our strategic objectives. Growing Mutual Federal Savings Bank continues to be a top priority. The evolving structure of MutualFirst Financial will provide us the best opportunity to continue to enhance our franchise and enhance shareholder value. I would like to thank you for your confidence in not only MutualFirst , but also Mutual Federal Savings Bank and we look forward to continuing our tradition of providing quality customer service in all our market areas.

President and Chief Executive Officer

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

        MutualFirst Financial, Inc., a Maryland corporation, is a savings and loan holding company which has as its wholly-owned subsidiary Mutual Federal Savings Bank. MFS Financial, Inc. was formed in September 1999 to become the holding company of Mutual Federal in connection with Mutual Federal's conversion from mutual to stock form of organization on December 29, 1999. In April 2000, MFS Financial, Inc. formally changed its corporate name to MutualFirst Financial, Inc. (" MutualFirst ") The words "we," "our" and "us" refer to MutualFirst and Mutual Federal on a consolidated basis, except that references to us prior to December 29, 1999 refer only to Mutual Federal.

       Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those funds primarily in permanent loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one-to-four family residences and in a variety of consumer loans. We also originate loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate, commercial business loans and construction loans secured primarily by residential real estate. We are headquartered in Muncie, Indiana with 17 retail offices primarily serving Delaware, Randolph, Kosciusko, and Grant counties in Indiana. We also originate mortgage loans in contiguous counties and we originate indirect consumer loans throughout Indiana and western Ohio.

       The following discussion is intended to assist your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements.

       Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, which principally consist of loans and mortgage-backed and investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, which principally consist of deposits and borrowings. Our results of operations also are affected by the level of our noninterest income and expenses and income tax expense.

Forward-Looking Statements

       This discussion contains various forward-looking statements which are based on assumptions and describe our future plans and strategies and our expectations. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by words such as "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," or similar words. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is uncertain. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, general economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality and composition of our loan and investment portfolios, demand for our loan products, deposit flows, our operating expenses,

competition, demand for financial services in our market areas and accounting principles and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and you should not rely too much on these statements. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to publicly revise any forward looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Management Strategy

       Our strategy is to operate as an independent, retail oriented financial institution dedicated to serving customers in our market areas. Our commitment is to provide a broad range of products and services to meet the needs of our customers. As part of this commitment, we are looking to increase our emphasis on commercial business products and services. We have also created a fully interactive transactional website. In addition, we are continually looking at cost-effective ways to expand our market area.

       Financial highlights of our strategy include:

Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk

        Our Risk When Interest Rates Change . The rates of interest we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Market interest rates change over time. Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. The risk associated with changes in interest rates and our ability to adapt to these changes is known as interest rate risk and is our most significant market risk.

        How We Measure Our Risk of Interest Rate Changes. As part of our attempt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and comply with applicable regulations, we monitor our interest rate risk. In monitoring interest rate risk, we continually analyze and manage assets and liabilities based on their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities, and their sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates.

       In order to minimize the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged increases in interest rates on our results of operations, we adopted asset and liability management policies to better match the maturities and repricing terms of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Mutual Federal's board of directors sets and recommends asset and liability policies which are implemented by the asset and liability management committee. The asset and liability management committee is chaired by the chief financial officer and is comprised of members of our senior management. The purpose of the asset and liability management committee is to communicate, coordinate and control asset/liability management consistent with our business plan and board approved policies. This committee establishes and monitors the volume and mix of assets and funding sources taking into account relative costs and spreads, interest rate sensitivity and liquidity needs. The objectives are to manage assets and funding sources consistent with liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk and profitability goals. The asset and liability management committee generally meets monthly to review, among other things, economic conditions and interest rate outlook, current and projected liquidity needs and capital position, anticipated changes in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities and interest rate risk exposure limits versus current projections pursuant to net present value of portfolio equity analysis and income simulations. At each meeting, the asset and liability management committee recommends appropriate strategy changes based on this review. The chief financial officer or his designee is responsible for reviewing and reporting on the effects of the policy implementations and strategies to the board of directors, at least quarterly.

       In order to manage our assets and liabilities and achieve the desired liquidity, credit quality, interest rate risk, profitability and capital targets, we have sought to:

       Depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the asset and liability management committee may increase our interest rate risk position somewhat in order to maintain our net interest margin. We intend to increase our emphasis on the origination of relatively short-term and/or adjustable rate loans. In addition, in an effort to maintain our limit on the percentage of fixed-rate loans, in 2000, we sold $7.9 million of fixed rate, one- to four-family mortgage loans in the secondary market.

       The asset and liability management committee regularly reviews interest rate risk by forecasting the impact of alternative interest rate environments on net interest income and market value of portfolio equity, which is defined as the net present value of an institution's existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments, and evaluating such impacts against the maximum potential changes in net interest income and market value of portfolio equity that are authorized by our board of directors.

       The Office of Thrift Supervision provides Mutual Federal with the information presented in the following tables. The tables present the change in our net portfolio value at December 31, 2000 and 1999 that would occur upon an immediate and sustained change in market interest rates of 100 to 300 basis points as required by the Office of Thrift Supervision, and do not give any effect to any steps that management might take to counteract that change.

       The Office of Thrift Supervision uses certain assumptions in assessing the interest rate risk of savings associations. These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the market value of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios, among others.

       As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, if interest rates change, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the tables.

Financial Condition at December 31, 2000 Compared to December 31, 1999

        General . Our total assets increased by $225.9 million, or 41.5%, to $770.4 million at December 31, 2000 from $544.5 million at December 31, 1999. The increase was mainly due to an increase in net loans of $196.6 million, or 44.4% and an increase in cash surrender value of life insurance of $12.2 million or 113.3%. These increases were funded primarily by an increase of $150.1 million in total deposits and $41.3 million in borrowed funds. Most of these increases resulted from the merger with Marion Capital Holdings, Inc., which was approved by our shareholders on December 8, 2000.

        Loans. Our net loan portfolio increased from $442.8 million at December 31, 1999 to $639.4 million at December 31, 2000. The increase in the loan portfolio over this time period was due primarily to the merger with Marion Capital which had a $163.7 million loan portfolio. The loan portfolio increased most in the one-to-four family category, from $286.6 million at December 31, 1999 to $388.9 million at December 31, 2000. All other loan categories increased from $163.2 million at December 31, 1999 to $259.9 million at December 31, 2000.

        Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses increased to $6.5 million at December 31, 2000 from $3.7 million at December 31, 1999 an increase of $2.8 million or 75.7%. Net charge-offs were $1.0 million during the year ended 2000 as compared to net charge-offs of $532,000 for 1999. An additional $3.2 million allowance was acquired as a result of the merger with Marion Capital. This, along with a $685,000 loan loss provision during 2000, resulted in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increasing to 1.01% at December 31, 2000 compared to .82% at December 31, 1999. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 189.1% and 467.6% at December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. Non-performing loans were $3.4 million or .53% of total loans at December 31, 2000 compared to $781,000 or .17% at December 31, 1999.

        Securities. Investment securities amounted to $42.0 million at December 31, 1999 and $45.7 million at December 31, 2000 or an 8.8% increase.

        Liabilities. Our total liabilities increased $196.6 million, or 43.0%, to $640.4 million at December 31, 2000 from $447.8 million at December 31, 1999. This increase was due primarily to an increase in deposits of $150.1 million and an increase in borrowed funds of $41.3 million. Deposits from Marion Capital at the merger date were $134.0 million and borrowed funds were $30.0 million.

        Stockholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity increased $33.2 million from $96.7 million at December 31, 1999 to $129.9 million at December 31, 2000. The increase was primarily due to stock issued in the Marion Capital acquisition net of costs of $27.6 million and net income for 2000 of $6.2 million. These increases were partially offset by dividend payments of $1.5 million.

Financial Condition at December 31, 1999 Compared to December 31, 1998

        General. Our total assets increased by $75 million, or 16%, to $544.5 million at December 31, 1999 from $469.5 million at December 31, 1998. The increase was mainly due to an increase in net loans of $44.6 million, or 11.2%, an increase in investment securities of $16.8 million, or 66.8%, and an increase in cash for Y2K preparation of $7.8 million, or 69%. These increases were funded primarily by an increase of $22.4 million in borrowed funds and the net proceeds of $49.9 million from our stock offering as part of the Bank's mutual-to-stock conversion.

        Loans. Our net loan portfolio increased from $398.1 million at December 31,1998 to $442.8 million at December 31, 1999. The increase in the loan portfolio over this time period was due to continued strong loan demand caused by a combination of a strong economy and low interest rates. The loan portfolio increased most in the one- to four-family category, from $264.5 million at December 31, 1998 to $286.6 million at December 31, 1999 and in the RV/Boat loan category from $42.7 million at December 31, 1998 to $58.0 million at December 31, 1999.

        Securities . Investment securities amounted to $25.2 million at December 31, 1998 and $42.0 million at December 31, 1999. The increase of $16.8 million, or 66.7%, was primarily due to the investment of a portion of the conversion proceeds.

        Liabilities. Our total liabilities increased $22.1 million, or 5.2% to $447.8 million at December 31, 1999 from $425.7 million at December 31, 1998. This increase was due primarily to an increase in borrowed funds of $22.4 million.

        Stockholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity increased $52.9 million from $43.8 million at December 31, 1998 to $96.7 million at December 31, 1999. The increase was primarily due to net proceeds from our stock offering of $49.9 million, stock contributed to the charitable foundation of $2.2 million and net income for 1999 of $846,000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the unrealized gains on securities available for sale of $328,000.

Rate/Volume Analysis

       The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in volume, which are changes in volume multiplied by the old rate, and (2) changes in rate, which are changes in rate multiplied by the old volume. Changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999

        General. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased $5.4 million to $6.2 million compared to $846,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in net income was primarily due to the lack of nonrecurring charges in 2000 compared to a one-time nonrecurring $4.5 million contribution in 1999 to the Mutual Federal Savings Bank Charitable Foundation, Inc. made in connection with the stock conversion.

        Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $3.9 million, or 25%, to $19.5 million for 2000 from $15.6 million for 1999 reflecting a $6.4 million or 18.3% increase in interest income and a $2.4 million or 12.5% increase in interest expense. Our interest rate spread decreased to 3.09% for 2000 from 3.24% for 1999, primarily due to rising market interest rates. Offsetting the decrease in spread, the ratio of average interest earning assets to average interest bearing liabilities increased to 115.17% for 2000 from 104.05% for 1999.

        Interest Income. The increase in interest income during the year ended December 31, 2000 was due to an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets (primarily from December, 1999 stock conversion proceeds) and a higher yield. The average balance of the loan portfolio increased $53.3 million or 12.6% to $476 million for 2000 from $422.6 million for 1999 primarily due to increases in the consumer and commercial loan products due to strong demand. The average yield on our loan portfolio increased from 7.75% in 1999 to 7.94% in 2000 primarily due to higher market rates of interest in non-mortgage related products.

        Interest Expense. The increase in interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2000 was primarily due to an increase in the average rate paid on deposits and borrowed funds from 4.38% in 1999 to 4.74% in 2000. Also, average balances of borrowings and deposits increased from $439.2 million in 1999 to $456.9 million in 2000.

        Provision for Loan Losses. For the year ended December 31, 2000, the provision for loan losses amounted to $685,000 compared to a provision for loan losses in 1999 of $760,000. The 2000 provision and the allowance for loan losses were considered adequate based on size, condition and components of the loan portfolio, past history of loan losses and peer comparisons.

        Other Income. Other income amounted to $3.6 million and $2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. For the year 2000, service fee income was $2.1 million compared to $1.7 million for 1999 representing an increase of $342,000 or 19.8%. This increase was primarily due to higher fees collected as a result of increased volumes in checking account activity. Net gains on loan sales in 2000 were $144,000; there were no sales in 1999.

        Other Expenses. Total operating expenses increased to $13.1 million for 2000 compared to $12.1 million, exclusive of the $4.5 million contribution to the foundation, for the year 1999 representing an increase of $948,000 or 7.8%. This increase was primarily attributed to a $763,000 or 22.5% increase in data processing fees, advertising and promotion, ATM expenses and other expenses. These increases were due to normal growth and increased activity relating to delivery channels, such as more ATM's and an on-line transactional Internet web site.

        Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $3.0 million from 1999 to 2000. This variation in income tax expense is directly related to taxable income and the low income housing income tax credits earned during those years. The effective tax rate was 33.2% and 14.1% for 2000 and 1999, respectively. The effective rate increased in 2000 as compared to 1999 because the low-income housing income tax credits remained relatively constant while the level of income increased.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998

        General. Net income for year ended December 31, 1999 decreased $3.3 million to $846,000 compared to $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The decline in net income was primarily due to a one-time nonrecurring $4.5 million contribution to the Mutual Federal Savings Bank Charitable Foundation, Inc. made in connection with the stock conversion.

        Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $786,000, or 5.3%, to $15.6 million for 1999 from $14.8 million for 1998 reflecting a $448,000 or 2.3% decrease in interest expense and a $338,000 or 1% increase in interest income. Our interest rate spread increased to 3.24% for 1999 from 3.21% for 1998. In addition, the ratio of average interest earning assets to average interest bearing liabilities decreased to 104.05% for 1999 from 104.56% for 1998.

        Interest Income . The increase in interest income during the year ended December 31, 1999 was due to an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets partially offset by a lower yield. The average balance of the loan portfolio increased $22.6 million or 5.7% to $422.6 million for 1999 from $400 million for 1998 due to continued strong loan demand. The average yield on our loan portfolio decreased from 8.12% in 1998 to 7.75% in 1999 primarily due to continued refinancing activity resulting from lower market rates of interest.

        Interest Expense. The decrease in interest expense during the year ended December 31, 1999 was primarily due to a reduction in the average rate paid on deposits and borrowed funds from 4.76% in 1998 to 4.38% in 1999. This was partially offset by an increase in the average balances of borrowings and deposits from $413.6 million in 1998 to $439.2 million in 1999.

        Provision for Loan Losses . For the year ended December 31, 1999, the provision for loan losses amounted to $760,000 compared to a provision for loan losses in 1998 of $1.3 million. The decrease was primarily due to a $500,000 provision for loans in litigation in 1998 with no corresponding provision in 1999.

        Other Income. Other income amounted to $2.9 million and $3.4 million for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. For the year 1999, service charges and fee income was $1.7 million compared to $1.5 million for 1998 representing an increase of $200,000 or 13.3%. This increase was primarily due to higher fees collected as a result of increased volumes in checking account activity. Net gains on loan sales in 1998 were $806,000; there were no loan sales in 1999.

        Other Expenses . Exclusive of the $4.5 million contribution to the foundation, total operating expenses increased to $12.2 million for 1999 compared to $10.8 million for year 1998 representing an increase of $1.4 million or 13%. This increase was primarily attributed to a $1.1 million increase in salaries and employee benefits due to a full year of expense for the employee stock ownership plan in the fourth quarter, an increased bank-wide incentive bonus, increased retirement benefit cost and staff expansion in branches and business banking activity. Additionally, equipment expenses increased to $829,000 for 1999 from $613,000 for 1998 primarily due to a change in the estimated useful life of certain data processing equipment.

        Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $1.9 million, or 93.3%, from 1998 to 1999. This variation in income tax expense is directly related to taxable income and the low income housing income tax credits earned during those years. The effective tax rate was 14% and 33.1% for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The effective rate declined in 1999 as compared to 1998 because the low-income housing income tax credits remained relatively constant while the level of income declined. The effective tax rate is expected to increase in future periods.

Liquidity and Commitments

       Mutual Federal is required to maintain minimum levels of investments that qualify as liquid assets under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations. Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to the return on loans. Historically, we have maintained liquid assets at levels above the minimum requirements imposed by Office of Thrift Supervision regulations and above levels believed to be adequate to meet the requirements of normal operations, including potential deposit outflows. Cash flow projections are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that adequate liquidity is maintained. At December 31, 2000, our regulatory liquidity ratio, which is our liquid assets as a percentage of net withdrawable savings deposits with a maturity of one year or less and current borrowings, was 10.46%, which exceeded OTS requirements.

       Our liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments and funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. We also generate cash through borrowings. We utilize Federal Home Loan Bank advances to leverage our capital base and provide funds for our lending and investment activities, and to enhance our interest rate risk management.

       Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as overnight deposits or U.S. Agency securities. We use our sources of funds primarily to meet our ongoing commitments, to pay maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals, to fund loan commitments and to maintain our portfolio of mortgage-backed securities and investment securities. At December 31, 2000, the total approved loan origination commitments outstanding amounted to $9.0 million. At the same date, the unadvanced portion of construction loans was $5.1 million. At December 31, 2000, unused lines of credit totaled $43.5 million and outstanding letters of credit totaled $3.5 million. As of December 31, 2000, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $218.0 million, and investment and mortgage-backed securities scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $3.0 million. Based on historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with us. We anticipate that we will continue to have sufficient funds, through deposits and borrowings, to meet our current commitments.

Capital

       Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, Mutual Federal actively to remain a "well capitalized" institution in accordance with regulatory standards. Total stockholders' equity of MutualFirst Financial, Inc. was $129.9 million at December 31, 2000, or 16.87% of total assets on that date. As of December 31, 2000, Mutual Federal exceeded all capital requirements of the Office of Thrift Supervision, with regulatory capital ratios as follows: core capital 13.6%; Tier I risk-based capital, 19.7%; and total risk-based capital, 20.7%. The regulatory capital requirements to be considered well capitalized are 5.0%, 6.0% and 10.0%, respectively.

Impact of Accounting Pronouncements

       In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and hedging activities. The Statement requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The Statement is effective for our financial statements for all fiscal quarters for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001. Management believes that the adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Inflation

       Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The principles require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

       Our primary assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates affect our performance more than general levels of inflation. Interest rates, however, do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation. In a period of rapidly rising interest rates, the liquidity and maturity structure of our assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptance performance levels.

       The principal effect of inflation, as distinct from levels of interest rates, on earnings is in the area of noninterest expense. Expense items such as employee compensation, employee benefits and occupancy and equipment cost may increase because of inflation. Inflation also may increase the dollar value of the collateral securing loans that we have made. We are unable to determine the extent to which properties securing our loans have appreciated in dollar value due to inflation.

Selected Quarterly Financial Information

       The following table sets forth certain quarterly results for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. Earnings per share information for the periods before Mutual Federal's conversion to stock savings bank on December 29, 1999 is not meaningful and is therefore not provided in the table below.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)

Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of MutualFirst Financial, Inc. (Company) (formerly MFS Financial, Inc.) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mutual Federal Savings Bank (Bank) and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries, First MFSB Corporation, Third MFSB Corporation and First Marion Service Corporation conform to generally accepted accounting principles and reporting practices followed by the thrift industry. The more significant of the policies are described below.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 thrift holding company whose principal activity is the ownership of the Bank. The Bank operates under a federal thrift charter and provides full banking services. As a federally chartered thrift, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The Bank generates mortgage, consumer and commercial loans and receives deposits from customers located primarily in central Indiana. The Bank's loans are generally secured by specific items of collateral including real property, consumer assets and business assets. First MFSB sells various insurance products. Third MFSB offers tax-deferred annuities and long-term health care and life insurance products. First Marion Service Corporation sells tax-deferred annuities and mutual funds and makes second mortgage loans.

Consolidation --The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank after elimination of all material intercompany transactions.

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, or included in the trading account and marketable equity securities not classified as trading, are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported separately in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. Trading account securities are held for resale in anticipation of short-term market movements and are valued at fair value. Gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, are included in other income.

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)

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market. Market is determined using the aggregate method. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income based on the difference between estimated sales proceeds and aggregate cost.

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 nonaccrual and substantially delinquent loans may be considered to be impaired. The Company considers its investment in one-to-four family residential loans and consumer loans to be homogeneous and therefore excluded from separate identification for 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. 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 maturity of the loans.

Allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb loan losses based on management's continuing review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and its judgment as to the impact of economic conditions on the portfolio. The evaluation by management includes consideration of past loss experience, changes in the composition of the portfolio, the current condition and amount of loans outstanding, and the probability of collecting all amounts due. 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 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, 2000, the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on information currently available. A worsening or protracted economic decline in the areas within which the Bank 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 carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based principally on the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from 3 to 50 years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses on dispositions are included in current operations.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock is a required investment for institutions that are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank system. The required investment in the common stock is based on a predetermined formula.

Investment in limited partnerships is recorded using the equity method of accounting. Losses due to impairment are recorded when it is determined that the investment no longer has the ability to recover its carrying amount. The benefits of low income housing tax credits associated with the investment are accrued when earned.

Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. When foreclosed assets are acquired, any required adjustment is charged to the allowance for loan losses. All subsequent activity is included in current operations.

Intangible assets are being amortized primarily on a straight-line and accelerated basis over a period of 15 years. Such assets are periodically evaluated as to the recoverability of their carrying value.

Mortgage servicing rights on originated loans are capitalized by allocating the total cost of the mortgage loans between the mortgage servicing rights and the loans based on their relative fair values. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing revenues.

Income tax in the consolidated statement of income 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 files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiary.

Earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted-average common and potential common shares outstanding during the periods subsequent to the Bank's conversion to a stock savings bank on December 29, 1999. Net income per share for the periods prior to the conversion is not meaningful. Unearned ESOP shares have been excluded from the weighted-average shares outstanding calculation.

Reclassifications of certain amounts in the 1999 and 1998 consolidated financial statements have been made to conform to the 2000 presentation.

Note 2 - Conversion

On December 29, 1999, the Bank completed the conversion from a federally chartered mutual institution to a federally chartered stock savings bank and the formation of the Company as the holding company of the Bank. As part of the conversion, the Company issued 5,595,780 shares of common stock at $10 per share. Net proceeds of the Company's stock issuance, after costs of $1,391,000 and excluding the shares issued for the ESOP, were $49,911,000, of which $27,284,000 was used to acquire 100% of the stock and ownership of the Bank. The transaction was accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to that utilized in a pooling of interests. In connection with the Conversion, the Company contributed 223,831 shares of common stock and cash of $2,238,000

to Mutual Federal Savings Bank Charitable Foundation, Inc. (Foundation), a charitable foundation dedicated to community development activities in the Company's market areas. This resulted in the recognition of an additional $4,477,000 charitable contribution expense for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Note 3 - Acquisition

On December 8, 2000, the Company acquired Marion Capital Holdings, Inc. (Marion), the holding company of First Federal Savings Bank of Marion (First Federal), a federally chartered savings bank. Marion was merged into the Company and First Federal was merged into the Bank. First Marion Service Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marion, became a subsidiary of the Bank.

Shareholders of Marion received 1.862 shares of the Company's common stock for each share of Marion common stock. The Company issued 2,541,062 shares of its common stock at a cost of $27,593,000, net of registration costs of $211,000.

The combination was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the net assets were recorded at their estimated fair values at date of acquisition. Fair value adjustments on the assets and liabilities purchased are being amortized over the estimated lives of the related assets and liabilities. The excess of the estimated fair value of the underlying net assets over the purchase price was allocated as a reduction in the carrying value of premises and equipment and investments in limited partnerships acquired as part of the acquisition. Marion's results of operations and financial position were included in the Company's consolidated financial statements beginning December 9, 2000.

The following pro forma information discloses the results of operations as though the merger had taken place at the beginning of the year.

The Company has a charitable contribution carryover of $3,355,000 that expires in the year ending December 31, 2005 and unused business income tax credits of $267,000, $153,000 and $339,000 expiring in years ending December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. In addition, the Company has an AMT credit carryover of $73,000 with an unlimited carryover period.

Income tax expense attributable to securities gains was $12,800 and $400 for the years ended December 1999 and 1998.

Retained earnings include approximately $14,743,000 for which no deferred income tax liability has been recognized. This amount represents an allocation of income to bad debt deductions as of December 31, 1987 for tax purposes only. Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than tax bad debt losses or adjustments arising from carryback of net operating losses would create income for tax purposes only, which income would be subject to the then-current corporate income tax rate. The unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the above amounts was approximately $5,013,000.

Note 16 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In the normal course of business there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which are not included in the accompanying financial statements. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments.

Standby letters of credit 3,548 3,617

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. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies, but may include residential real estate, income-producing commercial properties, or other assets of the borrower.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.

The Company and subsidiary are also subject to claims and lawsuits which arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.

Note 17 - Dividend and Capital Restrictions

The Company is not subject to any regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends to its stockholders.

Without prior approval, current regulations allow the Bank to pay dividends to the Company not exceeding retained net income for the current calendar year plus those for the previous two calendar years. The Bank normally restricts dividends to a lesser amount because of the need to maintain an adequate capital structure.

At the time of conversion, a liquidation account was established in an amount equal to the Banks' net worth as reflected in the latest statement of condition used in its final conversion offering circular. The liquidation account is maintained for the benefit of eligible deposit account holders who maintain their deposit account in the Bank after conversion. In the event of a complete liquidation, and only in such event, each eligible deposit account holder will be entitled to receive

a liquidation distribution from the liquidation account in the amount of the then current adjusted subaccount balance for deposit accounts then held, before any liquidation distribution may be made to stockholders. Except for the repurchase of stock and payment of dividends, the existence of the liquidation account will not restrict the use or application of net worth. The initial balance of the liquidation account was $45,619,000.

At December 31, 2000, the stockholder's equity of the Bank was $105,176,000, of which approximately $9,494,000 was available for the payment of dividends to the Company.

Note 18 - Regulatory Capital

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: total risk adjusted capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, and core leverage ratios. The ratios are intended to measure capital relative to assets and credit risk associated with those assets and off-balance sheet exposures of the entity. The capital category assigned to an entity 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 of a bank 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, 2000 and 1999, the Bank is categorized as well capitalized and met all subject capital adequacy requirements. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2000 that management believes have changed the Bank's classification.

Note 19 - Employee Benefits

The Company has a retirement savings 401(k) plan in which substantially all employees may participate. The contributions are discretionary and determined annually. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company matched employees' contributions at the rate of 50% for the first $600 participant contributions to the 401(k) and made a contribution to the profit-sharing plan of 7% of qualified compensation. The Company's expense for the plan was $216,000, $286,000 and $284,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.

The Company has a supplemental retirement plan and deferred compensation arrangements for the benefit of certain officers. These arrangements are funded by life insurance contracts which have been purchased by the Company. The Company's expense for the plan was $262,000, $214,000 and $188,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.

The Company has deferred compensation arrangements with certain directors whereby, in lieu of currently receiving fees, the directors or their beneficiaries will be paid benefits for an established period following the director's retirement or death.

As part of the conversion in 1999, the Company established an ESOP covering substantially all its employees. The ESOP acquired 465,568 shares of the Company common stock at $10 per share in the conversion with funds provided by a loan from the Company. Accordingly, the $4,655,680 of common stock acquired by the ESOP is shown as a reduction of stockholders' equity. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had 413,179 and 444,979 unearned ESOP shares with a fair value of $6,094,000 and $4,339,000. Shares are released to participants proportionately as the loan is repaid. Dividends on allocated shares are recorded as dividends and charged to retained earnings. Dividends on unallocated shares, which may be distributed to participants, or used to repay the loan are treated as compensation expense. Compensation expense is recorded equal to the fair market value of the stock when contributions, which are determined annually by the Board of Directors of the Company and Bank, are made to the ESOP. Expense under the ESOP for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $360,000 and $199,000. At December 31, 2000, the ESOP had 20,589 allocated shares, 413,179 suspense shares and 31,800 committed-to-be released shares. At December 31, 1999, the ESOP had no allocated shares, 444,979 suspense shares and 20,589 committed-to-be released shares.

On December 1, 2000, shareholders approved a Recognition and Award Plan (RAP). Restricted stock awards covering up to 232,784 shares of the common stock of the Company may be awarded to directors and executive officers under the RAP. At December 31, 2000, no grants had been made under the RAP.

Note 20 - Stock Option Plan

Under the Company's stock option plan approved by shareholders on December 1, 2000, which is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees , and related interpretations, the Company grants selected executives and other key employees and directors incentive and non-qualified stock option awards which vest and become fully exercisable at the discretion of the stock option committee as the options are granted. The Company is authorized to grant options for up to 581,961 shares of the Company's common stock. Under certain provisions of the plan, the number of shares available for grant may be increased without shareholder approval by the amount of shares surrendered as payment of the exercise price of the stock option and by the number of shares of common stock of the Company that could be repurchased by the Company using proceeds from the exercise of stock options. The exercise price of each option, which has a 10 or 15 year life may not be less than the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant; therefore, no compensation expense will be recognized when the options are granted. Except for 58,295 options issued as part of the acquisition of Marion, no options were granted under the plan during 2000. Of the 58,295 options granted, 18,774 options were exercised during 2000 at an exercise price of $10.87 and 39,521 are exercisable at December 31, 2000 at a weighted-average exercise price of $10.97.

Note 22 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents --The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates carrying value.

Trading Account, Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities --Fair values are based on quoted market prices.

Loans Held For Sale-- Fair values are based on quoted market prices.

Loans --The fair value for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

FHLB Stock --Fair value of FHLB stock is based on the price at which it may be resold to the FHLB.

42

MutualFirst Financial, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance --The fair value of life insurance values approximate carrying value.

Interest Receivable/Payable --The fair values of interest receivable/payable approximate carrying values.

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

Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements --Securities sold under repurchase agreements are short-term borrowing arrangements. The rates at December 31, 1999, approximate market rates, thus the fair value approximates carrying value.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances --The fair value of these borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation, based on current rates for similar debt for periods comparable to the remaining terms to maturity of these advances.

Note Payable to Pedcor --The fair value of this note is estimated using a discount calculation based on current rates.

Advances by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance --The fair value approximates carrying value.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments --Commitments include commitments to purchase and originate mortgage loans, commitments to sell mortgage loans, and standby letters of credit and are generally of a short-term nature. The fair values of such commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. The carrying amount of these investments are reasonable estimates of the fair value of these financial statements.

Our cash dividend payout policy is continually reviewed by management and the Board of Directors. The Company intends to continue its policy of paying quarterly dividends; however, the payment will depend upon a number of factors, including capital requirements, regulatory limitations, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and the Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Company. The Company relies significantly upon such dividends originating form the Bank to accumulate earnings for payment of cash dividends to the shareholders.

       (f) Temporary Suspension or Prohibition .

       (g) Permanent Suspension or Prohibition . If the Employee is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank's affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the FDIA, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)(4) and (g)(1), all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected.

       (h) Default of the Bank . If the Bank is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the FDIA), all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but this provision shall not affect any vested rights of the contracting parties.

       (i) Termination by Regulators . All obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall be terminated, except to the extent determined that continuation of this Agreement is necessary for the continued operation of the Bank: (1) by the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "Director") or his or her designee, at the time the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the FDIA; or (2) by the Director or his or her designee, at the time the Director or his or her designee approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to operation of the Bank or when the Bank is determined by the Director to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by any such action.

       8. Certain Reduction of Payments by the Bank .

       (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if payments under this Agreement, together with any other payments received or to be received by the Employee in connection with a Change in Control would cause any amount to be nondeductible for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 280G of the Code, then benefits under this Agreement shall be reduced (not less than zero) to the extent necessary so as to maximize payments to the Employee without causing any amount to become nondeductible. The Employee shall determine the allocation of such reduction among payments to the Employee.

       (b)  Any payments made to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with 12 U.S.C. § 1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

       9. No Mitigation . The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any salary or other payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by the Employee as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits after the Date of Termination or otherwise.

       10. Attorneys Fees . In the event the Bank exercises its right of Termination for Cause, but it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by an arbitrator pursuant to Section 17 that cause did not exist for such termination, or if in any event it is determined by any such court or arbitrator that the Bank has failed to make timely payment of any amounts owed to the Employee under this Agreement, the Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable costs, including attorneys' fees, incurred in challenging such termination or collecting such amounts. Such reimbursement shall be in addition to all rights to which the Employee is otherwise entitled under this Agreement.

       11. No Assignments .

       (a)  This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto, and no party may assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other party; provided that the Bank shall require any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Bank, by an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Employee, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place. Failure of the Bank to obtain such an assumption agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession or assignment shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Employee to compensation from the Bank in the same amount and on the same terms as the compensation pursuant to Section 7(d) hereof. For purposes of implementing the provisions of this Section 11(a), the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination.

       (b)  This Agreement and all rights of the Employee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Employee's personal and legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Employee should die while any amounts would still be payable to the Employee hereunder if the Employee had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Employee's devisee, legatee or other designee or if there is no such designee, to the Employee's estate.

       12. Notice . For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when

       13. Amendments . No amendments or additions to this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by both parties, except as herein otherwise provided.

       14. Headings . The headings used in this Agreement are included solely for convenience and shall not affect, or be used in connection with, the interpretation of this Agreement.

       15. Severability . The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

       Notwithstanding the above, if at any time after the final Contribution is made to the Retirement Income Trust Fund the Executive elects to terminate the Retirement Income Trust Fund and receive a distribution of the assets of the Retirement Income Trust Fund, then upon such distribution this Agreement shall terminate.

      13.2 Executive's Right to Payment Following Plan Termination . In the event of a termination of the Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to the balance, if any, of his Retirement Income Trust Fund. However, if such termination is done in anticipation of or pursuant to a "Change in Control," such balance(s) shall include the final Contribution made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b)(2). Payment of the balance(s) of the Executive's Retirement Income Trust Fund shall not be dependent upon his continuation of employment with the Bank following the termination date of the Agreement. Payment of the balance(s) of the Executive's Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be made in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the date of termination of the Agreement.

Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Director (or his Beneficiary) shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return.

If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such notice.

         (b) Alternative payout option .
         If (i) the Director is employed with the Bank until reaching his Retirement Age, and (ii) the Director has made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(b) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.

In the event the Director dies after becoming eligible for such payment (upon attainment of his Benefit Age), but before the actual payment is made, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the lump sum benefit in accordance with this Subsection 3.1(b) within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death.

Such benefits shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Director's Beneficiary shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return.

Exhibit C



AMENDED DIRECTOR SHAREHOLDER BENEFIT PROGRAM AGREEMENT

APPENDIX I


            The following no-load, no surrender charge life insurance policies are intended to comprise the hypothetical pool of life insurance, the increases in cash values of which are a component of the Contributions for each participant in the Amended Director Shareholder Benefit Program Agreement.

            If such contracts for life insurance are not purchased or are subsequently surrendered or lapsed, then the Bank shall receive annual policy illustrations that assume the below-described policies were purchased, or were not subsequently surrendered or lapsed. Such illustrations will be received from the insurance company and will indicate the increases in policy cash surrender values for purposes of calculating the Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund.

            In either case, references to life insurance contracts are merely for purposes of calculating a benefit. The Bank has no obligation to purchase such life insurance and, if purchased, the Director and their beneficiaries shall have no ownership interest in such policies and shall always have no greater interest in the benefits under this Plan than that of unsecured creditors of the Bank.
