See accompanying notes. 5 PART I: FINANCIAL INFORMATION FFW CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (1) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial condition of FFW Corporation as of March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2003 and the results of its operations, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. Financial Statement reclassifications have been made for the prior period to conform to classifications used as of and for the period ended March 31, 2004. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004. (2) Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per share are calculated solely on weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of stock options and other common stock equivalents. For the three and nine month periods ending March 31, 2004, the weighted average shares outstanding in calculating basic earnings per share were 1,294,067 and 1,294,747 while the weighted average number of shares for diluted earnings per share were 1,322,880 and 1,320,674. For the three and nine month periods ending March 31, 2003, the weighted average shares outstanding in calculating basic earnings per share were 1,324,993 and 1,344,580 while the weighted average number of shares for diluted earnings per share were 1,340,916 and 1,360,431. 6 (3) Stock Based Compensation: Compensation expense under stock options is reported using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if expense was measured using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

There were no stock options granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2004 or 2003. In future years, as additional options are granted, the proforma effect on net income and earnings per share may increase. Stock options are used to reward directors and certain executive officers and provide them with an additional equity interest. Options are issued for ten year periods and have varying vesting schedules. 7 PART I: ITEM 2 FFW CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of FFW Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, First Federal Savings Bank of Wabash (the "Bank") and FirstFed Financial, Inc ("FirstFed Financial"). All significant inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. The Company's results of operations are primarily dependent on the Bank's net interest margin, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank's net income is also affected by the level of its non-interest income and non-interest expenses, such as employee compensation and benefits, occupancy expenses, and other expenses. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Except for historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this document, and other information contained in the Company's SEC filings, may express "forward-looking statements." Those "forward-looking statements" may involve risk and uncertainties, including statements concerning future events, performance and assumptions and other statements that are other than statements of historical facts. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Readers are advised that various factors--including, but not limited to, changes in laws, regulations or accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; the Company's competitive position within the markets served; increasing consolidation within the banking industry; unforeseen changes in interest rates; any unforeseen downturns in the local, regional or national economies--could cause the Company's actual results or circumstances for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected. The Company does not undertake - and specifically declines any obligation - to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to 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. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Certain of the Company's accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances that could effect these judgments include, but without limitation, changes in interest rates, in the performance of the economy or in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses, ("ALL"), and the valuation of mortgage servicing rights. Allowance for Loan Losses: The ALL is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the ALL balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the ALL may be made for specific loans, but the entire ALL is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged-off. Loan losses are charged against the ALL when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. 8 A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impairment is evaluated in total for small-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage and consumer loans, and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the ALL is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Mortgage Servicing Rights: Servicing rights represent the allocated value of servicing rights retained on loans sold. Servicing rights are expensed in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is evaluated based on the fair value of the rights, using groupings of the underlying loans as to interest rates and prepayment characteristics. Any impairment of a grouping is reported as a valuation allowance. As of March 31, 2004, mortgage servicing rights had a carrying value of $626,000. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets were $239.1 million at March 31, 2004, down $3.6 million from $242.8 million at June 30, 2003. Growth in net loans receivable was offset by a $6.3 million, or 7.0%, reduction in securities available for sale while deposits decreased $3.1 million. Net loans receivable increased $2.8 million, or 2.2%, from $126.0 million at June 30, 2003 to $128.8 million at March 31, 2004. The increases in the loan portfolio were comprised primarily of $3.7 million in residential mortgages and $1.7 million in home equity and improvement loans. Nonresidential and commercial loans decreased $4.6 million and while automobile and other consumer loans decreased $0.6 million. The increase in residential mortgages reflects renewed interest in adjustable rate loans, primarily five year hybrids, which the Company retains on its balance sheet. The Company primarily sells its fixed rate mortgages in the secondary market with terms of 15 years or longer. Loans held for sale reduced from $2.7 million at June 30, 2003 to $209,000 at March 31, 2004. Premises and equipment, net increased $891,000, or 33.3%, from $2.7 million at June 30, 2003. The increase is the result of an expansion of our Syracuse office, the addition of a new office in the Columbia City, Indiana market and the upgrade of computer equipment for retail and back office personnel. Total deposits decreased $3.1 million, or 1.9%, to $160.3 million at March 31, 2004. Management will continue to control the overall increases in interest rates in deposits by targeting certain terms and offering "specials" rather than making across the board increases in interest rates on all deposit products. FHLB advances increased slightly by $370,000, or 0.7%, to $52.4 million at March 31, 2004. Total shareholders' equity increased $611,000 to $24.3 million at March 31, 2004. The increase primarily resulted from net income offsetting a $339,000 decrease in unrealized appreciation on securities available for sale, net of tax, cash dividends of $623,000 and treasury stock purchases of $393,000. COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 AND 2003 Net income for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004 was $645,000 and $1,881,000 compared to net income of $584,000 and $1,777,000 for the equivalent periods in 2003. The increases of $61,000, 10.4%, and $104,000, 5.8%, for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004 were a combination of reduced provision for loan losses combined with lower effective tax rates that were partially offset by lower net interest and non-interest income and increased non-interest expense. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.49 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 compared to $0.44 for the equivalent period in 2003. For the comparable nine-month periods, diluted earnings per common share were $1.42 in 9 2004 and $1.31 in 2003. Return on average shareholders' equity was 10.97% for the three months and 10.73% for the nine-months ended March 31, 2004, compared to 10.04% and 10.20% in 2003. The return on total average assets was 1.08% and 1.04% for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004, compared to 1.00% and 1.00% in 2003. NET INTEREST INCOME The net interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, was $1,632,000 compared to $1,652,000, a decrease of 1.2% from the same period in 2003. Accordingly, the Company's net interest margin was 2.93% compared to 3.07% in 2003. The net interest income for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2004, was $4,778,000 compared to $5,059,000, a decrease of 5.5% from the same period in 2003. Accordingly, the Company's net interest margin was 2.83% compared to 3.04% in 2003. Total average earning assets increased $4.9 and $2.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004, over the comparative periods in 2003. Total average investment securities increased $4.5 and $8.8 million for the three and nine-month periods over one-year ago. Total average loans increased $3.8 million for the three-month period and decreased $3.3 million for the nine-month period from one-year ago. The yields on total average earning assets were 5.60% and 6.32% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004, and 2003 and 5.55% and 6.45% for the nine-month periods. The decline in net interest margin was due to adjustable rate loans repricing to lower rates, as well as other interest earning assets, loans and securities, repricing downward more quickly and to a greater extent than interest bearing liabilities. The cost of funds on total average interest-bearing liabilities were 2.93% and 3.59% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004, and 2003 and 3.00% and 3.78% for the nine-month periods. 10 The following tables set forth consolidated information regarding average balances and rates.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses was $180,000 and $600,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and $460,000 and $1,090,000 for the same periods in 2003. Changes in the provision for loan losses are attributable to management's analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses (ALL) to address probable and incurred losses. Net charge-offs of $380,000 and $746,000 have been recorded for the three and nine- month periods ended March 31, 2004, compared to $462,000 and $845,000 of net charge-offs for the same period in 2003. For the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004, gross charge-offs were $465,000 and $1,014,000. The ALL was $2,446,000 or 1.86% of portfolio loans at March 31, 2004 compared to $2,647,000 or 1.96% at December 31, 2003 and $2,592,000 or 2.02% at June 30, 2003. Non-performing loans, which include non-accruing loans and accruing loans delinquent more than 90 days, were $461,000 at March 31, 2004 compared to $2,472,000 at December 31, 2003. The decrease in nonperforming loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 is primarily the result of the Bank's repossession of the collateral of two commercial loan relationships and setting up this collateral under real estate owned and other repossessed assets in the amount of $901,000. The Company establishes an ALL based on an evaluation of risk factors in the loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of its loan activity. This evaluation includes, among other factors, the level of the Company's classified 12 and non-performing assets and their estimated value, the economic outlook and the resulting impact on real estate and other values in the Company's primary market area, regulatory issues and historical loan loss experience. Although management believes it uses the best information available to determine the ALL, unforeseen market conditions or other unforeseen events could result in adjustments and net earnings could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determination. In addition, a determination by the Company's main operating subsidiary, the Bank, as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the OTS which may order the establishment of additional general or specific reserve allowances. It is management's opinion that the ALL is adequate to absorb existing losses in the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2004. NON-INTEREST INCOME Non-interest income for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004 was $558,000 and $1,729,000 compared to $687,000 and $1,818,000 for the same periods in 2003. The three-month decrease of $129,000 from the prior period was a result of a $192,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans and a $48,000 decrease in other non-interest income that was partially offset by increases of $74,000 in service charges and fees, $30,000 in gain on sale of securities and $19,000 in commission income. The decrease in gain on sale of loans will likely continue in fiscal 2004 if mortgage rates stay above the levels seen during the record setting refinancing cycle that peaked in June 2003. The increase in service charges and fees is the result of the introduction of new products whose long term effects on service charges and fees cannot be predicted. The nine-month results for fiscal 2004 showed increases in all areas of non-interest income except for a $374,000 drop in gain on sale of loans compared to 2003. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Non-interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, was $1,303,000, an increase of $100,000, or 8.3%, compared to the same period in 2003. For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2004, non-interest expense was $3,822,000, an increase of $254,000, or 7.1%. Comparing the nine-month periods, other non-interest expense increased $276,000 from the prior year due primarily to higher professional fees ($82,000), real estate owned ($69,000), bank owned life insurance ($37,000), loan expense ($31,000) and other expense ($57,000). The Company completed, as of June 2003, the amortization of the core deposit premium associated with the 1997 purchase of the South Whitley branch and has realized $55,000 in expense reduction compared to fiscal 2003. For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2004, data processing expense increased 2.9% and occupancy and equipment expense increased 9.9% while compensation and employee benefits increased 2.3% over the same period in 2003. 13 INCOME TAXES The provisions for income taxes for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004, were $62,000 and $205,000 compared to $92,000 and $442,000 for the same periods in 2003. The provisions for income taxes dropped due to a lower effective tax rate stemming from increased nontaxable securities income and nontaxable income from the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance purchased in September 2002. Additionally, the Bank's state tax expense is lower in fiscal 2004 due to the establishment, effective May 2003, of a domestic operating subsidiary that manages a portion of the Bank's investment portfolio. The subsidiary is located in a state with no corporate income tax. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The Bank is required to maintain specific amounts of regulatory capital pursuant to regulations of the OTS. At March 31, 2004, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital standards as is shown in the following table.
