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:

  • Continuing as a Diversified Lender. We have been successful in diversifying our loan portfolio to reduce our reliance on any one type of loan. From 1995 through 1999 approximately 32% of our loan portfolio has consisted of loans other than one- to four family real estate loans. At the end of 2000 that percentage had increased to 39.8%.

  • Continuing as a Leading One-to Four-Family Lender. We are one of the largest originators of one-to four-family residential loans in our four county market area. During 2000, we originated $52.1 million of one- to four-family residential loans.

  • Continuing Our Strong Asset Quality. Since 1994, our ratio of non-performing assets to total assets has not exceeded .62% and at December 31, 2000 this ratio was .56%.

  • Continuing Our Strong Capital Position. As a result of our conservative risk management and consistent profitability, we have historically maintained a strong capital position. At December 31, 2000, our ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 16.9%.

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:

  • originate and purchase adjustable rate mortgage loans and commercial business loans,

  • originate shorter-term consumer loans,

  • manage our deposits to establish stable deposit relationships,

  • acquire longer-term borrowings at fixed rates, when appropriate, to offset the negative impact of longer-term fixed rate loans in our loan portfolio, and

  • limit the percentage of fixed-rate loans in our portfolio.

NEXT PAGE










       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.

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.

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.

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)

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. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making such commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the consolidated statement of financial condition.

37

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

Financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk as of December 31 were as follows:

December 31
2000
1999
Loan commitments $57,600 $41,700
Loans sold with recourse 93
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

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

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.

(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.
