Description of Business General The Company. FFW Corporation (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, was formed in December 1992 to act as the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank of Wabash ("First Federal" or the "Bank") upon completion of the Bank's conversion from mutual to stock form (the "Conversion"). The Conversion was completed on April 1, 1993. The Company's business consists primarily of the business of First Federal. The Company also offers insurance and investment products through its wholly-owned subsidiary, FirstFed Financial, Inc. The executive offices of the Company are located at 1205 N. Cass Street, Wabash, Indiana 46992, and its telephone number at that address is (260) 563-3185. At June 30, 2002, the Company had $237.8 million of assets and shareholders' equity of $22.4 million (or 9.42% of total assets). First Federal. First Federal is a federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Wabash, Indiana and regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). Its deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), which is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. First Federal's primary market area covers Wabash, Kosciusko and Whitley Counties in northeast and central Indiana, which are serviced through its four offices in Wabash, North Manchester, Syracuse and South Whitley, Indiana. The principal business of the Bank consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those funds primarily in one- to four-family residential mortgage, consumer (primarily automobile) loans, commercial and multi-family real estate, construction and commercial business loans primarily in the Bank's market area. The Bank also purchases mortgage-backed securities and invests in U.S. Government and agency obligations and other permissible investments. At June 30, 2002, substantially all of the Bank's real estate mortgage loans (excluding mortgage-backed securities) were secured by properties located in Indiana. The Bank's revenues are derived primarily from interest on small business, consumer and mortgage loans, mortgage-backed and other investment securities, income from service charges and loan originations and loan servicing fee income. The Bank does not originate loans to fund leveraged buyouts, has no loans to foreign corporations or governments and is not engaged in land development or construction activities through joint ventures or subsidiaries. The Bank offers a variety of accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms. The Bank's deposit accounts include passbook accounts, money market savings accounts, NOW, money market checking and regular checking accounts, and certificate accounts with terms of three to sixty months. The Bank solicits deposits in its primary market area. The Bank also has, from time to time, borrowed funds, both in the form of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances and by entering into repurchase agreements. At June 30, 2002, the Bank had FHLB advances totaling $54.4 million. FirstFed Financial, Inc. During fiscal 1993, the Company acquired FirstFed Financial, Inc. ("FirstFed") from the Bank. FirstFed offers insurance products, including life insurance, mutual funds, annuity and brokerage services through a registered broker dealer. FirstFed, which is located in Wabash, Indiana, was incorporated in 1989. In December 2000, FirstFed acquired Pulley Financial Services, Inc. Subsequent to the acquisition, FirstFed continued to operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and also appointed a new president of FirstFed.

Lending Activities of First Federal Market Area of the Bank. The main office of First Federal is located in Wabash, Indiana, which is located in Wabash County. The Bank operates three branches in the following locations: North Manchester, Syracuse and South Whitley, Indiana. North Manchester is located in Wabash County, Syracuse is located in adjacent Kosciusko County, and South Whitley is located in adjacent Whitley County. The Bank considers Wabash, Kosciusko and Whitley Counties as its primary market area. The Bank also serves Grant, Miami, Huntington, Noble, Allen and Elkhart Counties in Indiana. General. Historically, the Bank has originated fixed-rate, one- to four-family mortgage loans. In the early 1980s, the Bank began to focus on the origination of adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") loans and short-term loans for retention in its portfolio in order to increase the percentage of loans in its portfolio with more frequent repricing or shorter maturities, and in some cases higher yields, than fixed-rate mortgage loans. While the Bank has continued to originate fixed-rate mortgage loans in response to customer demand, currently, the Bank originates and sells most of its fixed-rate, first mortgage loans with maturities of 15 years or greater in the secondary market with servicing retained. The Bank also originates consumer (including automobile), commercial and multi-family real estate, commercial business, and residential construction loans in its primary market area. At June 30, 2002, the Bank's net loan portfolio totaled $141.9 million. The Executive Committee of the Bank, comprised of any three outside directors selected by and including the Chairman, has the responsibility for the supervision of the Bank's loan portfolio with an overview by the Board of Directors. The Bank's loan policy requires Executive Committee or full Board approval on mortgage, commercial and consumer loans over certain dollar thresholds, loan extensions, special loan situations, assumptions and loan participations. The Board of Directors has responsibility for the overall supervision of the Bank's loan portfolio and, in addition, reviews all foreclosure actions or the taking of deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure. The following schedule presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between changes related to higher or lower outstanding balances and changes due to the levels and changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, 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.

The total amount of loans due after June 30, 2003 which have fixed interest rates is $54.0 million, while the total amount of loans due after such dates which have floating or adjustable interest rates is $73.0 million. One- to Four-Family Residential Mortgage Lending. Residential loan originations of this type are generated by the Bank's marketing efforts, its present and walk-in customers, and referrals from real estate agents and builders. The Bank focuses its lending efforts primarily on the origination of loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences. At June 30, 2002, the Bank's one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaled $60.6 million, or approximately 41.9% of the Bank's total gross loan portfolio. The Bank currently originates up to a maximum of 30-year adjustable-rate, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans in amounts up to 95% of the appraised value of the security property provided that private mortgage insurance is obtained in an amount sufficient to reduce the Bank's exposure to at or below the 80% loan-to-value level. The Bank's one- to four-family residential mortgage originations are primarily in its market and surrounding areas. The Bank currently offers one-, three-, five-, and seven-year ARM loans with a stated interest rate margin over applicable Treasury rates. These loans have a fixed-rate for the stated period and, thereafter, such loans adjust annually. Depending on whether a one-, three-, five-, or seven-year loan is selected, per-year and lifetime caps and floors will range from 100 to 200 basis points, and 300 to 600 basis points. As a consequence of using an initial fixed-rate, caps and floors, the interest rates on these loans may not be as rate sensitive as is the Bank's cost of funds. The Bank's ARM loans do not permit negative amortization of principal. The Bank qualifies borrowers at the fully indexed rate. Due to consumer demand, the Bank also offers fixed-rate 10- through 15-year and 15- through 30-year mortgage loans, most of which conform to the secondary market standards of Freddie Mac. Interest rates charged on these fixed-rate loans are competitively priced according to market conditions. Residential loans generally do not include prepayment penalties. Most of the fixed-rate loans with maturities of 15 to 30 years are sold in the secondary market. The Bank generally retains servicing rights on such loans. Generally, the Bank will retain fixed-rate loans with maturities of less than 15 years in its portfolio. The Bank reserves the right to discontinue, adjust or create new lending programs to respond to its needs and to competitive factors. In underwriting one- to four-family residential real estate loans, First Federal evaluates both the borrower's ability to make monthly payments and the value of the property securing the loan. Properties in Wabash County securing real estate loans made by First Federal are appraised by the Bank's salaried appraisers. Properties located outside of Wabash County securing real estate loans and all properties securing commercial loans are appraised by independent fee appraisers approved and qualified by the Board of Directors. First Federal generally requires borrowers to obtain an attorney's title opinion or title insurance, and fire and property insurance (including flood insurance, if necessary) in an amount not less than the amount of the loan. Real estate loans originated by the Bank generally contain a "due on sale" clause allowing the Bank to declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon the sale of the security property. Consumer Lending. First Federal offers a variety of secured consumer loans, including automobile, home equity, home improvement and loans secured by savings deposits. In addition, First Federal offers other secured and unsecured consumer loans. The Bank currently originates substantially all of its consumer loans in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The Bank originates consumer loans on both a direct and indirect basis. Direct loans are made when the Bank extends credit directly to the borrower. Indirect loans are obtained when the Bank purchases loan contracts from retailers of goods or services which have extended credit to their customers. The only indirect lending by First Federal began in the early 1980s, and is with selected automobile and boat dealers located in the Bank's primary market and surrounding areas. The Bank underwrites each indirect loan in accordance with its normal consumer loan standards. At June 30, 2002, the Bank's consumer loan portfolio totaled $42.5 million, or 29.3% of its total gross loan portfolio. Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles or mobile homes. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans. At June 30, 2002, $94,000 or approximately 0.2% of the consumer loan portfolio was non-accruing. There can be no assurance that delinquencies will not increase in the future. The largest component of First Federal's consumer loan portfolio consists of automobile loans. At June 30, 2002, automobile loans totaled $22.0 million, or approximately 15.2% of the Bank's gross loan portfolio. Loans secured by second mortgages, together with loans secured by all prior liens, are currently limited to 100% or less of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. Generally, such loans have a maximum term of up to 20 years. As of June 30, 2002, home equity and home improvement loans, most of which are secured by second mortgages, amounted to $17.2 million, or 11.9% of the Bank's gross loan portfolio. Consumer loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral, length of contract and creditworthiness of the borrower. Loans secured by deposit accounts at the Bank are currently originated for up to 90% of the account balance with a hold placed on the account restricting the withdrawal of the account balance. The interest rate on such loans is typically equal to 200 basis points above the deposit contract rate. The underwriting standards employed by the Bank for consumer loans include an application, a determination of the applicant's payment history on other debts and an assessment of ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security, if any, in relation to the proposed loan amount. Construction Lending. The Bank engages in limited amounts of construction lending to individuals for the construction of their residences as well as to builders for the construction of single family homes in the Bank's primary market area and surrounding areas. At June 30, 2002, the Bank had $2.7 million of gross construction loans, most of which were to borrowers who intended to live in the properties upon completion of construction. Construction loans to individuals for their residences are structured to be converted to permanent loans at the end of the construction phase, which typically runs for six months. During the construction phase, the borrower pays interest only. Residential construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating permanent residential loans. Construction loans to builders of one- to four-family residences require the payment of interest only for up to 12 months. In most cases, these loans carry fixed interest rates. At June 30, 2002, the Bank had $810,000 in construction loans outstanding to builders. Construction lending generally affords the Bank an opportunity to receive interest at rates higher than those obtainable from permanent residential loans and to receive higher origination and other loan fees. In addition, construction loans are generally made with fixed rates of interest or for relatively short terms. Nevertheless, construction lending is generally considered to involve a higher level of credit risk than one- to four-family residential lending due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of general economic conditions on development projects, real estate developers and managers. In addition, the nature of these loans is such that they are more difficult to evaluate and monitor. Finally, the risk of loss on construction loans is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the individual property's value upon completion of the project and the estimated cost (including interest) of the project. If the cost estimate proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the project. At June 30, 2002, the Bank had no construction loans outstanding which were over thirty days delinquent. Commercial and Multi-Family Real Estate Lending. The Bank has also engaged in commercial and multi-family real estate lending in the Wabash market area and surrounding areas and has purchased participation interests in loans from other financial institutions throughout Indiana and neighboring jurisdictions. At June 30, 2002, the Bank had $10.8 million of commercial and multi-family real estate loans, which represented 7.4% of the Bank's total gross loan portfolio. The largest commercial or multi-family real estate loan outstanding at June 30, 2002 was $1.6 million, which was performing in accordance with its repayment terms. At June 30, 2002, substantially all of the Bank's commercial and multi-family real estate loan portfolio was secured by properties located in Indiana. Loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate properties are generally larger and involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. If the cash flow from the project is reduced (for example, if leases are not obtained or renewed), the borrower's ability to repay the loan may be impaired. The Bank's commercial and multi-family real estate loan portfolio is secured primarily by apartment buildings and, to a lesser extent, office buildings and nursing homes. Commercial and multi-family real estate loans generally have terms that do not exceed 20 years. The Bank has a variety of rate adjustment features and other terms in its commercial and multi-family real estate loan portfolio. Generally, the loans are made in amounts up to 75% of the appraised value of the security property. Commercial real estate and multi-family loans provide for a margin over a designated index which is generally the prime rate. The Bank currently analyzes the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower's credit history, and the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the property securing the loan. The Bank generally requires personal guaranties of the borrowers. Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans originated by the Bank are performed by independent appraisers. Commercial Business Lending. The Bank began increasing its commercial loan portfolio in fiscal 1999. At June 30, 2002, approximately $28.2 million, or 19.5% of the Bank's total gross loan portfolio, was comprised of commercial loans. Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other income and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans typically are 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 be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself (which, in turn, is likely to be dependent upon the general economic environment). The Bank's commercial business loans are usually, but not always, 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. The Bank recognizes the generally increased risks associated with commercial business lending. First Federal's commercial business lending policy includes credit file documentation and analysis of the borrower's character, capacity to repay the loan, the adequacy of the borrower's capital and collateral as well as an evaluation of conditions affecting the borrower. Analysis of the borrower's past, present and future cash flows is also an important aspect of First Federal's current credit analysis. Non-Performing Assets and Classified Assets When a borrower fails to make a required payment on real estate secured loans and consumer loans within 30 days after the payment is due, the Bank generally institutes collection procedures by mailing a delinquency notice. The customer is contacted again, by notice and/or telephone, when the payment is 31 days past due and when 60 days past due. In most cases, delinquencies are cured promptly; however, if a loan secured by real estate or other collateral has been delinquent for more than 90 days, satisfactory payment arrangements must be adhered to or the Bank will initiate foreclosure or repossession. Generally, when a loan becomes delinquent 90 days or more or when the collection of principal or interest becomes doubtful, the Bank will place the loan on a non-accrual status and, as a result, previously accrued interest income on the loan is taken out of current income. The loan will remain on a non-accrual status as long as the loan is 90 days delinquent. The following table sets forth information concerning delinquent mortgage and other loans at June 30, 2002. The amounts presented represent the total remaining principal balances of the related loans, rather than the actual payment amounts which are overdue.

The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in the Bank's loan portfolio at the dates indicated. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when the collection of principal and/or interest become doubtful or when the loan is in excess of 90 days delinquent. Foreclosed and repossessed assets include assets acquired in settlement of loans. See Notes [1] and [4] to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Loans of Concern. Including the non-accruing loans set forth in the preceding table, as of June 30, 2002 there was also an aggregate of $8.7 million in net book value of loans classified by the Bank with respect to the majority of which known information about the possible credit problems of the borrowers or the cash flows of the security properties have caused management to have some doubts as to the ability 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. The principal components of loans of concern are 31 consumer loans aggregating $212,000, 8 one- to four-family loans aggregating $363,000 and 43 commercial loans aggregating $8.2 million at June 30, 2002. The principal components of loans of concern at June 30, 2001 consisted of 85 consumer loans aggregating $631,000, 13 one- to four-family loans aggregating $668,000 and 23 commercial loans aggregating $3.5 million. Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets such as debt and equity securities considered by the OTS 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 savings association 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 a savings bank classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management. General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize probable losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When a savings bank 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. First Federal's determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the District Director at the regional OTS office, who may order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances. In accordance with its classification of assets policy, the Bank regularly reviews the loans in its portfolio to determine whether any loans require classification. On the basis of management's review of its assets, at June 30, 2002, the Bank had classified a total of approximately $2.8 million of its assets as substandard, $446,000 as doubtful, none as loss, and $5.5 million as special mention. At June 30, 2002, total classified and non-performing assets comprised $8.9 million, or 39.9% of the Bank's capital, or 3.8% of the Bank's total assets. Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the probable losses in its loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of its loan activity. Such evaluation, which includes a review of loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance. Real estate properties acquired through foreclosure are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. If carrying amount or fair value at the date of foreclosure is lower than the balance of the related loan, the difference will be charged-off to the allowance at the time of transfer. Valuations are periodically updated by management and if the value declines, a specific provision for losses on such property is established by a charge to operations. Although management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the allowances, unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustments and net earnings could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the final determination. Future additions to the Bank's allowances will be the result of periodic loan, property and collateral reviews and thus cannot be predicted in advance. At June 30, 2002, the Bank had a total allowance for loan losses of $2.4 million or 1.66% of total loans, net. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report to Stockholders (the "Annual Report"), attached hereto as Exhibit 13. The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank's allowance for loan losses.

Investment Activities Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to the return on loans. Historically, the Bank has generally maintained its liquid assets at a level believed adequate to meet requirements of normal daily activities, repayment of maturing debt and potential deposit outflows. As of June 30, 2002, the Bank's liquidity position was at a level deemed by management to be consistent with safe and sound banking practices. Federally chartered savings institutions have the authority to invest in various types of liquid assets, including United States Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies, 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 may also invest their assets in commercial paper, investment grade corporate debt securities and mutual funds whose assets conform to the investments that a federally chartered savings institution is otherwise authorized to make directly. Generally, the investment policy of the Bank is to invest funds among various categories of investments and maturities based upon the Bank's need for liquidity, to achieve the proper balance between its desire to minimize risk and maximize yield, to provide collateral for borrowings, and to fulfill the Bank's asset/liability management policies. First Federal's investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios are managed in accordance with a written investment policy adopted by the Board of Directors. Other than certificates of deposit and mortgage-backed securities, investments may be made by the President or the Chief Accounting Officer of First Federal only with the approval of the Investment Committee. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 115"), requires that securities and mortgage-backed securities be classified as held to maturity, available for sale or trading purposes. Under SFAS No. 115, securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as held to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Securities classified as available for sale are those the Company may sell in response to liquidity needs, for asset/liability management purposes and other reasons and are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are reported as a separate component of equity, net of tax. Trading securities are those which are purchased for sale in the near future and are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in income. Transfers between categories are accounted for as sales and repurchases at fair value. For any sales or transfers of securities classified as held to maturity, the cost basis, the realized gain or loss, and the circumstances leading to the decision to sell are required to be disclosed. At the time of purchase of new securities, management of the Company makes a determination as to the appropriate classification of securities as available for sale or held to maturity. At June 30, 2002, the Company had no securities classified as held to maturity and $76.3 million classified as available for sale including mortgage-backed securities. No securities were held for trading purposes on such date. Securities. It is the Company's general policy to purchase securities which are U.S. Government securities and federal agency obligations, state and local government obligations, commercial paper, short-term corporate debt securities and overnight federal funds. At June 30, 2002, the weighted average term to maturity or repricing of the investment securities portfolio, excluding the FHLB, Fannie Mae stock and other equity securities available for sale, was 6.2 years. OTS regulations restrict investments in corporate debt and equity securities by the Bank. These restrictions include prohibitions against investments in the debt securities of any one issuer in excess of 15.0% of the Bank's unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus as defined by federal regulations, which totaled $19.6 million as of June 30, 2002, plus an additional 10% if the investments are fully secured by readily marketable collateral. See "Regulation - Federal Regulation of Savings Associations" for a discussion of additional restrictions on the Bank's investment activities. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's securities portfolio excluding mortgage-backed securities, at the dates indicated.

Except for obligations of state and local governments, the Company's securities portfolio at June 30, 2002 contained neither tax-exempt securities nor securities of any issuer with an aggregate book value in excess of 10% of the Company's shareholders' equity, excluding those issued by the United States Government, or its agencies. Mortgage-Backed Securities. The Company's investment in mortgage-backed securities can serve as collateral for borrowings and, through repayments, as a source of liquidity. In addition, management from time to time has purchased mortgage-backed securities in order to supplement loan originations. For information regarding the carrying and market values of the Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio, see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report attached hereto as Exhibit 13.

The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, amortization and prepayment of loan principal (including interest earned on mortgage-backed securities), sales of whole loans and loan participations, interest earned on or sales and maturation of investment securities and short-term investments, and funds provided from operations. Borrowings, including FHLB advances and reverse repurchase agreements, may be used at times to compensate for seasonal reductions in deposits or deposit inflows at less than projected levels, and may be used on a longer term basis to support expanded lending activities. Deposits. First Federal offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms. The Bank's deposit accounts consist of passbook savings accounts, money market savings accounts, NOW, money market checking and regular checking accounts, and certificate accounts ranging in terms from 91 days to 60 months. The Bank only solicits deposits from its market area and currently does not use brokers to obtain deposits. The Bank relies primarily on competitive pricing policies, advertising 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 deposit accounts offered by the Bank has allowed it to be competitive in obtaining funds and to respond with flexibility to changes in consumer demand. Nonetheless, the Bank has become more susceptible to short-term fluctuations in deposit flows, as customers have become more interest rate conscious. The Bank endeavors to manage the pricing of its deposits in keeping with its asset/liability management and profitability objectives. Based on its experience, the Bank believes that its passbook savings, money market savings accounts, NOW, money market checking and regular checking accounts are relatively stable sources of deposits. However, the ability of the Bank to attract and maintain certificates of deposit and its passbook accounts and the rates paid on these deposits has been and will continue to be significantly affected by market conditions.

------------------------- (1) Deposits from governmental and other public entities. Generally, the Bank does not pay interest rates on its jumbo certificates of deposit (certificates of deposit with balances of $100,000 or more) in excess of the interest rates paid on certificates of deposit with balances of less than $100,000. Borrowings. Although deposits are the Bank's primary source of funds, the Bank's policy has been to utilize borrowings when they are a less costly source of funds, can be invested at a positive interest rate spread or when the Bank desires additional capacity to fund loan demand. First Federal's borrowings at June 30, 2002 consisted of advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis upon the security of a hybrid collateral agreement of a percentage of unencumbered loans. Such advances can be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has an interest rate and range of maturities. At June 30, 2002, the Bank had $54.4 million in FHLB advances, and a $1,000,000 overdraft line of credit was available from the FHLB. From time to time, First Federal has entered into repurchase agreements through a nationally recognized broker-dealer firm. These agreements are accounted for as borrowings by the Bank and are secured by certain of the Bank's securities. The broker-dealer takes possession of the securities during the period that the repurchase agreement is outstanding. The terms of the agreements have typically ranged from 30 days to a maximum of six months. The proceeds of these transactions are used to meet cash flow needs of the Bank. At June 30, 2002, the Bank had no repurchase agreements outstanding. The following table sets forth the maximum month-end balance and average balance of FHLB advances and line of credit from the FHLB and securities sold under agreements to repurchase at the dates indicated.

First 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. In addition to investments in service corporations, federal associations are permitted to invest an unlimited amount in operating subsidiaries engaged solely in activities which a federal association may engage in directly. First Federal had no subsidiaries at June 30, 2002. Regulation General. First Federal is a federally chartered savings bank, the deposits of which are federally insured and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Accordingly, First Federal is subject to broad federal regulation and oversight extending to all its operations. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Indianapolis and is subject to certain limited regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve Board"). As the savings and loan holding company of First Federal, the Company also is subject to federal regulation and oversight by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS"). The purpose of the regulation of the Company and other savings and loan holding companies is to protect subsidiary savings associations. The Bank is a member of the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which together with the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") are the two deposit insurance funds administered by the FDIC, and the deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC. As a result, the FDIC has certain regulatory and examination authority over the Bank. Certain of these regulatory requirements and restrictions are discussed below or elsewhere in this document. Federal Regulation of Savings Associations. The OTS has extensive authority over the operations of savings associations. As part of this authority, First Federal is required to file periodic reports with the OTS and is subject to periodic examinations by the OTS and the FDIC. When these examinations are conducted by the OTS and the FDIC, the examiners may require the Bank to provide for higher general or specific loan loss reserves. All savings associations are subject to a semi-annual assessment, based upon the association's total assets, to fund the operations of the OTS. The Bank's OTS assessment for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 was approximately $75,000. The OTS also has extensive enforcement authority over all savings institutions and their holding companies, including First Federal and the Company. 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 OTS. Except under certain circumstances, public disclosure of final enforcement actions by the OTS is required. In addition, the investment, lending and branching authority of the Bank is prescribed by federal laws, and the Bank is prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws. The Bank's general permissible lending limit for loans-to-one borrower is 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 June 30, 2002, the Bank's lending limit under this restriction was approximately $3.2 million. First Federal is in compliance with the loans-to-one borrower limitation. The OTS, 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. First Federal is a member of the SAIF, which is administered by the FDIC. Deposits are insured up to 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 SAIF or the BIF. The FDIC also has the authority to initiate enforcement actions against savings associations, after giving the OTS an opportunity to take such action, and may terminate the 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 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 will be made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period. As of June 30, 2002, the Bank met the requirements of a well-capitalized institution. The premium schedule for BIF and SAIF insured institutions ranges from 0 to 27 basis points. However, SAIF insured institutions and BIF 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. This amount is currently equal to about 1.88 points for each $100 in domestic deposits for BIF and SAIF insured institutions. These assessments, which may be revised based upon the level of BIF and SAIF deposits, will continue until the bonds mature in 2017 through 2019. Regulatory Capital Requirements. Federally insured savings associations, such as the Bank, are required to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital. The OTS 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 associations. These capital requirements must be generally as stringent as the comparable capital requirements for national banks. The OTS is also authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual associations 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 this requirement. At June 30, 2002, First Federal did not have any unamortized purchased mortgage servicing rights, but did have certain intangible assets related to the purchase of the branch in South Whitley, Indiana. The OTS regulations establish special capitalization requirements for savings associations that own subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2002, the Bank had no subsidiaries. At June 30, 2002, the Bank had tangible capital of $18.5 million, or 7.88% of adjusted total assets, which is approximately $9.1 million above the minimum requirement of 4% of adjusted total assets in effect on that date. The capital standards also effectively require core capital equal to at least 4% of adjusted total assets. Core capital generally consists of tangible capital plus certain intangible assets, including a limited amount of purchased credit card relationships. At June 30, 2002 the Bank had certain intangible assets related to the branch purchase which were subject to these tests. At June 30, 2002, the Bank had core capital equal to $18.5 million, or 7.88% of adjusted total assets, which is $9.1 million above the minimum leverage ratio requirement of 4% as in effect on that date. The OTS risk-based requirement requires savings associations to have total capital of at least 8% 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 OTS is also authorized to require a savings association to maintain an additional amount of total capital to account for concentration of credit risk and the risk of non-traditional activities. At June 30, 2002, First Federal had no capital instruments that qualify as supplementary capital and $2.4 million of general loss reserves, of which $482,000 was more than 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Certain exclusions from capital and assets are required to be made for the purpose of calculating total capital. Such exclusions consist of equity investments (as defined by regulation) and that portion of land loans and nonresidential construction loans in excess of an 80% loan-to-value ratio and reciprocal holdings of qualifying capital instruments. First Federal had no such exclusions from capital and assets at June 30, 2002. 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 OTS 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. On June 30, 2002, the Bank had total risk-based capital of $20.4 million (including $18.5 million in core capital and $1.9 million in qualifying supplementary capital) and risk-weighted assets of $149.9 million (including, converted off-balance sheet assets); or total capital of 13.6% of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $8.4 million above the 8.0% requirement in effect on that date. The OTS and the FDIC are authorized and, under certain circumstances, required to take certain actions against savings associations that fail to meet their capital requirements. The OTS is generally required to take action to restrict the activities of an "undercapitalized association" (generally defined to be an association with less than either a 4% core capital ratio, a 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio or an 8% risk-based capital ratio). Any such association must submit a capital restoration plan and until such plan is approved by the OTS 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 OTS is authorized to impose the additional restrictions, discussed below, that are applicable to significantly undercapitalized associations. As a condition to the approval of the capital restoration plan, any company controlling an undercapitalized association 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 association that fails to comply with its capital plan or is "significantly undercapitalized" (i.e., Tier 1 risk-based or core capital ratios of less than 3% or a risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%) must be made subject to one or more additional actions and operating restrictions which may cover all aspects of its operations and include a forced merger or acquisition of the association; and any other action the OTS deems appropriate. An association that becomes "critically undercapitalized" (i.e., a tangible capital ratio of 2% or less) is subject to further mandatory restrictions on its activities in addition to those applicable to significantly undercapitalized associations. In addition, the OTS must appoint a receiver (or conservator with the concurrence of the FDIC) for a savings association, with certain limited exceptions, within 90 days after it becomes critically undercapitalized. Any undercapitalized association is also subject to the general enforcement authority of the OTS and the FDIC, including the appointment of a receiver or conservator. The OTS is also generally authorized to reclassify an association 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 OTS or the FDIC of any of these measures on the Bank may have a substantial adverse effect on the Bank's operations and profitability. Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions. OTS regulations impose various restrictions or requirements on savings associations with respect to their ability to make distributions of capital, which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers and other transactions charged to the capital account. OTS regulations permit a federal savings association to pay dividends in any calendar year equal to net income for that year plus retained earnings for the preceding two years (less any dividends paid). Dividends in excess of such amounts require prior OTS approval. Qualified Thrift Lender Test. All savings associations, including the Bank, are required to meet a qualified thrift lender ("QTL") test to avoid certain restrictions on their operations. At June 30, 2002, the Bank met the test and has always met the test since its effectiveness. The test requires a savings association to have at least 65% of its portfolio assets (as defined by regulation) in qualified thrift investments on a monthly average in nine out of every 12 months on a rolling basis. As an alternative, the savings association may maintain 60% of its assets in those 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. Any savings association that fails to meet the QTL test must convert to a national bank charter, unless it requalifies as a QTL and thereafter remains a QTL. If an association does not requalify and converts to a national bank charter, it must remain SAIF-insured until the FDIC permits it to transfer to the BIF. If such an association has not yet requalified or converted to a national bank, its new investments and activities are limited to those permissible for both a savings association and a national bank, and it is limited to national bank branching rights in its home state. In addition, the association is immediately ineligible to receive any new FHLB borrowings and is subject to national bank limits for payment of dividends. If such association 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 FHLB borrowings, which may result in prepayment penalties. If any association that fails the QTL 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. See "- Holding Company Regulation." Community Reinvestment Act. Under the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"), every FDIC insured institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with safe and sound banking practices to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA 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 CRA. The CRA requires the OTS, in connection with the examination of the Bank, 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, by the Bank. An unsatisfactory rating may be used as the basis for the denial of an application by the OTS. The federal banking agencies, including the OTS, have recently revised the CRA regulations and the methodology for determining an institution's compliance with the CRA. Due to the heightened attention being given to the CRA in the past few years, the Bank may be required to devote additional funds for investment and lending in its local community. The Bank was examined for CRA compliance in June 1996 and received a rating of satisfactory. Transactions with Affiliates. Generally, transactions between a savings association or its subsidiaries and its affiliates are required to be on terms as favorable to the association as transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain of these transactions, such as loans to an affiliate, are restricted to a percentage of the association's capital. Affiliates of First Federal include the Company and any company which is under common control with the Bank. In addition, a savings association may not lend to any affiliate engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding company or acquire the securities of most affiliates. The OTS has the discretion to treat subsidiaries of savings associations 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 OTS. 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 be made on substantially the same terms and conditions as loans to unaffiliated persons. At June 30, 2002, the Bank was in compliance with the above restrictions. Holding Company Regulation. The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulatory oversight by the OTS. As such, the Company is registered and files reports with the OTS and is subject to regulation and examination by the OTS. In addition, the OTS has enforcement authority over the Company and its non-savings association subsidiaries which also permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings association. As a unitary savings and loan holding company that has been in existence prior to May 4, 1999, the Company generally is not subject to activity restrictions. If the Company acquires control of another savings association as a separate subsidiary, it would become a multiple savings and loan holding company, and the activities of the Company and any of its subsidiaries (other than the Bank or any other SAIF-insured savings association) would become subject to such restrictions unless such other associations each qualify as a QTL and were acquired in a supervisory acquisition. If the Bank fails the QTL test, the Company must obtain the approval of the OTS prior to continuing after such failure, directly or through its other subsidiaries, any business activity other than those approved for multiple savings and loan holding companies or their subsidiaries. In addition, within one year of such failure the Company 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 are the activities authorized for a unitary or multiple savings and loan holding company. See "Qualified Thrift Lender Test." Federal Securities Law. The stock of the Company is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act. Company stock held by persons who are affiliates (generally officers, directors and principal stockholders) of the Company may not be resold without registration or unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. If the Company meets specified current public information requirements, each affiliate of the Company is able 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 June 30, 2002, the Bank 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 OTS. Savings associations are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank "discount window," but Federal Reserve Board regulations require associations to exhaust other reasonable alternative sources of funds, including FHLB borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank. Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Indianapolis, which is one of 12 regional FHLBs that administers the home financing credit function of savings associations. Each FHLB 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 FHLB System. It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by the board of directors of the FHLB which are subject to the oversight of the Federal Housing Finance Board. All advances from the FHLB are required to be fully secured by sufficient collateral as determined by the FHLB. In addition, all long-term advances are required to provide funds for residential home financing. As a member, First Federal is required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB of Indianapolis. At June 30, 2002, First Federal had $3.4 million in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement. In past years, the Bank has received substantial dividends on its FHLB stock. For the year ended June 30, 2002, dividends paid by the FHLB of Indianapolis to First Federal totaled $223,000. Over the past five fiscal years such dividends have averaged 7.71% and were 6.57% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. Federal Taxation. In addition to the regular income tax, corporations, including savings associations such as the Bank, generally are subject to a minimum tax. An alternative minimum tax is imposed at a minimum tax rate of 20% on alternative minimum taxable income, which is the sum of a corporation's regular taxable income (with certain adjustments) and tax preference items, less any available exemption. The alternative minimum tax is imposed to the extent it exceeds the corporation's regular income tax and net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. A portion of the Bank's reserves for losses on loans may not, without adverse tax consequences, be utilized for the payment of cash dividends or other distributions to a shareholder (including distributions on redemption, dissolution or liquidation) or for any other purpose (except to absorb bad debt losses). As of June 30, 2002, the portion of the Bank's reserves subject to this treatment for tax purposes totaled approximately $1.2 million. The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated federal income tax returns on a fiscal year basis using the accrual method of accounting. The Company and its subsidiaries have not been audited by the IRS within the last ten years. Indiana Taxation. The State of Indiana imposes an 8.5% franchise tax on the net income (as defined) for financial (including thrift) institutions, exempting them from the current gross income, supplemental net income and intangible taxes. Net income for franchise tax purposes will constitute federal taxable income before net operating loss deductions and special deductions, adjusted for certain items, including Indiana income taxes, tax exempt interest and bad debts. Other applicable Indiana taxes include sales, use and property taxes. Delaware Taxation. As a Delaware holding company, the Company is exempted from Delaware corporate income tax but is required to file an annual report with and pay an annual fee to the State of Delaware. The Company is also subject to an annual franchise tax imposed by the State of Delaware which is generally based upon authorized shares. Competition First Federal faces strong competition, both in originating real estate and other loans and in attracting deposits. Competition in originating real estate loans comes primarily from other commercial banks, savings associations, credit unions and mortgage bankers making loans secured by real estate located in the Bank's market area. Commercial banks and finance companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending. The Bank competes for real estate and other loans principally on the basis of the quality of services it provides to borrowers, interest rates and loan fees it charges, and the types of loans it originates. The Bank attracts all of its deposits through its retail banking offices, primarily from the communities in which those retail banking offices are located; therefore, competition for those deposits is principally from other commercial banks, savings associations and credit unions located in the same communities, as well as mutual funds. The Bank competes for these deposits by offering a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates, convenient business hours, and convenient branch locations with interbranch deposit and withdrawal privileges at each. The Bank serves Wabash, Kosciusko, Grant, Miami, Huntington, Whitley, Allen, Noble and Elkhart Counties in Indiana. The Indiana counties of Wabash, Kosciusko and Whitley serve as the Bank's primary market areas. There are four commercial banks and one credit union which compete for deposits and loans in Wabash County. In Kosciusko County, there are eight commercial banks, two credit unions and one savings bank competing for market share. In Whitley County, there are six commercial banks, five credit unions and one savings bank competing for market share. Employees At June 30, 2002, the Company and its affiliates had a total of 68 employees, including 9 part-time employees. The Company's employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management considers its employee relations to be good. Item 2. Description of Property The Bank conducts its business at its main office and three other locations in its primary market area. The Bank owns all of its offices. The total net book value of the Bank's premises and equipment (including land, buildings and furniture, fixtures and equipment) at June 30, 2002 was $2.7 million. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report attached as Exhibit 13.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings The Company and First Federal are involved from time to time as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of its business. FirstFed, the Company's other wholly-owned subsidiary is not a party to any legal action. While the ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel representing the Company and First Federal in the proceedings, that the resolution of these proceedings should not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the quarter ended June 30, 2002.
