MFB Corp. became a unitary savings and loan holding company upon the conversion of MFB Financial, formerly known as Mishawaka Federal Savings (the "Bank") from a federal mutual savings and loan association to a federal stock savings bank in March 1994. MFB Corp. is the sole shareholder of the Bank. MFB Corp. and the Bank (collectively referred to as the "Company") conduct business from their main office in Mishawaka, Indiana, and five branch locations in St. Joseph and Elkhart Counties of Indiana. The Bank offers a variety of lending, deposit and other financial services to its retail and commercial customers. The Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Mishawaka Financial Services, Inc. ("Mishawaka Financial"), is engaged in the sale of credit life, general fire and accident, car, home, and life insurance as agent for the Bank's customers and the general public. TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS: On behalf of our employees, the Board of Directors and myself, it is a pleasure to provide you with the 1997 Annual Report of MFB Corp. (the "Company"), the holding company for MFB Financial (the "Bank"). In March of 1994, after the formation of MFB Corp., the Bank converted to a federal stock savings bank and this report summarizes our third full year of operation as a stock company. This past year has been one of continued growth and change for our Company. We remain committed to bringing state-of-the-art products and unparalleled service to both consumers and small businesses in our community. The goals of growth and diversification were the primary impetus for the first major change that took place this year. In November, 1996 we changed the name of the Bank from Mishawaka Federal Savings to MFB Financial. We believe our new name more accurately describes our Bank as a full service institution offering the wide variety of products and services necessary to grow and remain competitive. We added investment and brokerage services, broadened commercial deposit product offerings, established a corporate lending department and opened a new full service facility. As we look at the financial highlights of the past year, I believe you will agree that these changes continue to move the Company and the Bank forward toward the achievement of our strategic goals. 1997 again saw solid balance sheet growth for our Company. The Bank's loan portfolio grew by $48.9 million, the greatest single year of such growth in our 107 year history. Substantial contributions to this increase were made by both the residential lending and corporate lending divisions. Our reputation as a fast, courteous and knowledgeable lender, has allowed residential loan growth to carry on at record levels. At the same time, the development of our small business banking division has attracted local businesses desiring a level of personal service that is fast disappearing in our market. We will continue to focus attention on the small business community in an effort to further diversify our asset mix and improve earnings. Deposit based product offerings were enhanced as well. The emphasis on core relationships, competitive pricing and the highest quality service to customers has resulted in an increase in our deposit base of $12.9 million during the year. Non-interest bearing demand accounts increased significantly as did our certificate of deposit account base. In addition to the notable balance sheet growth, we experienced improved net interest income as well. Our average interest rate spread increased from 2.13% to 2.49% in just one year, contributing to an increase in net interest income of $1.4 million for the year. Additionally, the Company repurchased over 330,000 shares of its common stock. This activity resulted in a reduction of the total shares outstanding, improved the book value of the remaining outstanding shares and positively impacted our return on equity. In addition, I am sure you are aware that our quarterly dividend was increased to $.08 per outstanding share as well. These events are all part of our systematic approach to enhancing the long term value of your investment in our Company. The following pages of this report provide more details about the past year's performance. Management remains committed to identifying additional opportunities to serve the financial needs of our community effectively and profitably. These efforts will continue to grow the long term value of your investment in a prudent, intelligent fashion. We appreciate the confidence you have shown in MFB Corp. and will mindfully operate the Company in an effort to reward that confidence. Charles J. Viater President and Chief Executive Officer MFB CORP.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The principal business of the Bank has historically consisted of attracting deposits from the general public and making loans secured by residential and other real estate. The Bank is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions. Deposit flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing investments, account maturities, fee structures, and level of personal income and savings. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing lenders, the availability and cost of funds and various other issues. Sources of funds for lending activities of the Bank include deposits, borrowings, payments on loans and income provided from operations. The Company's earnings are primarily dependent upon the Bank's net interest income, the difference between interest income and interest expense. Interest income is a function of the balances of loans and investments outstanding during a given period and the yield earned on such loans and investments. Interest expense is a function of the amount of deposits and borrowings outstanding during the same period and interest rates paid on such deposits and borrowings. The Company's earnings are also affected by the Bank's provisions for loan and real estate losses, service charges, income from subsidiary activities, operating expenses and income taxes. ASSET /LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits with short and medium-term maturities, mature or reprice at different rates than its interest-earning assets. Although having liabilities that mature or reprice less frequently on average than assets will be beneficial in times of rising interest rates, such an asset/liability structure will result in lower net income during periods of declining interest rates, unless offset by other factors such as noninterest income. A key element of the Company's asset/liability plan is to protect net earnings from changes in interest rates by managing the maturity or repricing mismatch between its interest-earning assets and rate-sensitive liabilities. The Company's one year interest rate gap has been between a negative 150.48% and a positive 9.14% at the end of each year from September 30, 1993, to September 30, 1997. This assumes that deposit accounts reprice based on assumptions provided after the following table. The Company's one year interest rate gap was a negative 150.48% as of September 30, 1997. A negative interest rate gap leaves the Company's earnings vulnerable to periods of rising interests rates because during such periods the interest expense paid on liabilities will generally increase more rapidly than the interest income earned on assets. Conversely, in a falling interest rate environment, the total expense paid on liabilities will generally decrease more rapidly than the interest income earned on assets. A positive interest rate gap would have the opposite effect. The Company's management believes that the Company's interest rate gap in recent periods has generally been maintained within an acceptable range in view of the prevailing interest rate environment. The Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") also provides a Net Portfolio Value ("NPV") approach to the measurement of interest rate risk. In essence, this approach calculates the difference between the present value of expected cash flows from assets and the present value of expected cash flows from liabilities, as well as cash flows from off-balance-sheet contracts. The difference is the NPV. As of June 30, 1997, (the most recently available data), after a 200 basis point rate change, the Bank's NPV ratio was 10.49%. Management and the Board of Directors review the OTS measurements on a quarterly basis to determine whether the Company's interest rate exposure is within the limits established by the Board of Directors in the Company's interest rate risk policy. In addition to monitoring selected measures on NPV, management also monitors effects on net interest income resulting from increases or decreases in rates. This measure is used in conjunction with NPV measures to identify excessive interest rate risk. In managing its asset/liability mix, the Company, depending on the relationship between long and short term interest rates, market conditions and consumer preference, may place somewhat greater emphasis on maximizing its net interest margin than on strictly matching the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities. Management believes that the increased net income which may result from an acceptable mismatch in the actual maturity or repricing of its asset and liability portfolios can, during periods of declining or stable interest rates, provide sufficient returns to justify the increased exposure to sudden and unexpected increases in interest rates which may result from such a mismatch. Management believes that the Company's level of interest rate risk is acceptable under this approach as well. The following table illustrates the projected maturities and repricing of the major consolidated asset and liability categories of the Company as of September 30, 1997. Maturity and repricing dates have been projected by applying the assumptions, set forth after the table, to contractual maturity, call dates and repricing dates. The information presented in the following table is derived from data maintained by the Company and is not adjusted for prepayments. Since most of the loans are adjustable rate loans which are due to reprice within five years or less, management feels that loan prepayments will not have a significant impact on the results of the table below.

In evaluating the Company's exposure to interest rate movements, certain shortcomings inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table must be considered. 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 interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as ARM's, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a significant change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed above. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. The Company considers all of these factors in monitoring its exposure to interest rate risk. The adjustable rate first mortgage loans the Bank holds in its portfolio are primarily indexed to the National Median Cost of Funds and interest rate adjustments on these loans may lag behind changes in market rates. At September 30,1997, these loans totaled $108.6 million, or 53.7% of the Bank's total loan portfolio. In August 1996 the Bank began originating adjustable rate mortgage loans using the One Year Treasury Index, and, at September 30, 1997, these loans totaled $31.1 million, or 15.4% of the Bank's total loan portfolio. As a general rule, market rate adjustments on loans indexed to the National Median Cost of Funds lag behind changes in market rates due to the fact that the index is tied to variables that may not reprice on a basis as quickly as market rates (e. g., the One Year Treasury). In a period of rising interest rates, the Bank's adjustable rate residential loans may not adjust upward as quickly as market rates thereby adversely affecting the Company's net interest income. Conversely, in a period of declining interest rates, the Bank's adjustable rate residential loans may not adjust downward as quickly as market rates thereby positively affecting the Company's net interest income. In any case, such adjustments may be limited by loan terms which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the loan.

The increase of $1.0 million resulted primarily from a $1.4 million increase in net interest income and a $237,000 decrease in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $675,000 increase in income tax expense. For the period ended September 30, 1996, income levels were significantly reduced as a result of a one time special assessment to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). This non-recurring expense was approximately $577,000 on an after tax basis, and net income for the year ended September 30, 1996 would have amounted to $1,552,000 had this special assessment not been incurred. The increase in net interest income was due to increases in both the volume of interest-earning assets and higher rates earned on those assets, partially offset by increases in the volume of interest-bearing liabilities. First mortgage loan receivables increased by approximately $38.6 million and commercial and consumer loan receivables by approximately $10.6 million from September 30, 1996 to September 30, 1997. The yield on total interest-earning assets also increased from 7.20% to 7.61% in 1997 while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased from 5.07% to 5.12% during the same period. As a result, the interest rate spread increased 36 basis points from 2.13% in 1996 to 2.49% in 1997. As of September 30, 1997 net loans, including loans held for sale, were $200.9 million, an increase of $48.9 million from the $152.1 million as of September 30, 1996. Substantial marketing efforts were utilized in the past year to capitalize on the Bank's reputation as a quality local residential lender providing fast and knowledgeable service. This approach led to gross mortgage loan increases of $38.6 million , an increase of 26.2% for the year ended September 30, 1997. Also, although a limited number of small commercial loans were made in 1996, substantial efforts were put forth during the past year to fully develop the small business banking division in our community. As a result, gross commercial loans increased $8.0 million from September 30, 1996 to September 30, 1997. Total deposits increased $12.9 million to $171.9 million as of September 30, 1997 from $159.0 million as of September 30, 1996. Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other short term borrowings also increased from $24.5 million at September 30, 1996 to $47.9 million as of September 30, 1997. Cash and cash equivalents increased $7.7 million from $1.7 million as of September 30, 1996 to $9.4 million as of September 30, 1997. Net cash provided by financing activities and operating activities amounted to $29.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and was partially offset by net cash used in investing activities of $23.0 million. During the year ended September 30, 1996, the Company adopted a capital leveraging strategy that involved the purchase of mortgage related and other securities funded primarily with Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances. This leveraging portfolio represented $22.7 million of the total securities available for sale at September 30, 1997 compared to $26.6 million at September 30, 1996. As of September 30, 1997, the total securities portfolio amounted to $39.6 million, a decrease of $27.2 million from $66.8 million at September 30, 1996. The total securities portfolio decrease consisted of a decrease in the leveraging portfolio of $3.9 million and a decrease in the remainder of the securities portfolio of $23.3 million, and was the result of securities maturing totaling $27.9 million and principal payments of mortgage-backed securities of $2.9 million offset by net purchases of securities available for sale of $3.4 million. The $12.9 million increase in deposits, the $23.0 million increase in FHLB advances, and the $27.2 million decrease in the securities portfolio were primarily used to fund the $48.9 million increase in net loans and the $7.7 million increase in cash and cash equivalents. Total liabilities increased $34.2 million from $188.2 million as of September 30, 1996 to $222.4 million as of September 30, 1997. This increase was primarily due to the $12.9 million increase in deposits and the $23.0 million increase in FHLB advances. Total shareholders' equity decreased $4.0 million from $37.6 million as of September 30, 1996 to $33.6 million as of September 30, 1997. This decrease was primarily attributable to the repurchase of the Company's common stock during the year in the amount of $6.4 million and the payment of $554,000 in cash dividends during the year, partially offset by net income of $2.0 million for the year ended September 30, 1997. The book value of MFB Corp. Common stock, based on the actual number of shares outstanding at each period, increased from $19.05 as of September 30, 1996 to $20.33 as of September 30, 1997. Interest income increased $3.5 million during the year ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period one year ago. The increase was primarily related to increased volumes of loans receivable and an increase in the average rate earned on these assets. Interest expense increased $2.1 million during the most recent twelve month period primarily as a result of increased volumes of certificates of deposit and FHLB advances. Net interest income increased $1.4 million for the year ended September 30, 1997 compared to the year ended September 30, 1996. Noninterest income increased from $362,000 for the year ended September 30, 1996 to $425,000 for the twelve months ended September 30, 1997. The increase was primarily due to increased fee income related to demand deposit accounts and brokerage commissions. Noninterest expense decreased to $4.6 million for the year ended September 30, 1997 from $4.8 million for the same period last year. This decrease is primarily related to the one time special assessment of $955,000 incurred in the prior year to recapitalize the SAIF, offset by increased compensation expenses, expenses related to the Bank's name change which took effect November 1, 1996, and expenses incurred with the opening of a new full service branch facility on June 6, 1997. To operate the new full service branch facility and attain the substantial loan growth in 1997, the Bank's staff increased by 15 employees during the year. This is the primary reason for the 29% increase in salaries and employee benefit expense from $2.2 million for the year ended September 30, 1996 to $2.8 million for the year ended September 30, 1997. COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,1996 AND SEPTEMBER 30,1995 Consolidated net income for the Company for the year ended September 30,1996 was $975,000 compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 1995. The decrease of $261,000 resulted primarily from a one time special assessment to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of $955,000, partially offset by a $530,000 increase in net interest income from $5.6 million in 1995 to $6.1 million in 1996 and a $172,000 decrease in income tax expense. Had the special assessment not been incurred, net income for the year ended September 30, 1996 would have amounted to $1.6 million. The increase in net interest income was due to increases in both the volume of interest-earning assets and higher rates earned which was partially offset by increases in the volume of interest-bearing liabilities and rates paid. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 32 basis points from 4.75% in 1995 to 5.07% in 1996, while the yield on interest-earning assets increased 33 basis points from 6.87% in 1995 to 7.20% in 1996. As a result, the interest rate spread increased one basis point from 2.12% in 1995 to 2.13% in 1996. As of September 30, 1996 net loans were $152.1 million, $30.9 million more than net loans of $121.2 million as of September 30, 1995. Deposits increased $14.4 million to $159.0 million as of September 30, 1996 from $144.6 million as of September 30, 1995. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $5.8 million from $7.5 million as of September 30, 1995 to $1.7 million as of September 30, 1996 primarily as a result of a $5.4 million decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits in other financial institutions. The securities portfolio consists of government, government agency and mortgage-related securities. Several changes occurred in this portfolio during the year ended September 30, 1996. In November, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a special report, A Guide to Implementation of SFAS No.115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("Guide"). As permitted by the Guide, on November 30, 1995, the Company made a one-time reassessment and transferred securities from the held-to-maturity portfolio to the available-for-sale portfolio. At the date of transfer, these securities had an amortized cost of $47.9 million, and the transfer increased the unrealized appreciation on securities available-for-sale by $196,000 and increased shareholders' equity by $119,000 net of tax of $77,000. In addition, during the year ended September 30, 1996, the Company adopted a capital leveraging strategy that involved the purchase of mortgage related and other securities funded primarily with Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances. This leveraging portfolio represented $26.6 million of the total securities portfolio at September 30, 1996. As of September 30, 1996 the total securities portfolio amounted to $66.8 million, an increase of $14.8 million from $52.0 million at September 30, 1995. This increase is primarily related to the $26.6 million increase in the leveraging portfolio, partially offset by net sales and maturities of other securities of $11.8 million during the year. The $30.9 million increase in net loans was funded primarily from the $14.4 million increase in deposits, the $5.8 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and the $11.8 million decrease in securities discussed above. Total liabilities increased $39.1 million from $149.1 million as of September 30, 1995 to $188.2 million as of September 30, 1996 primarily due to the $14.4 million increase in deposits and a $24.5 million increase in FHLB advances used to fund the leveraged securities portfolio. Total shareholders' equity decreased $400,000 from $38.0 million as of September 30, 1995 to $37.6 million as of September 30, 1996. The decrease was primarily attributable to the repurchase of the Company's common stock during the year in the amount of $1.5 million, partially offset by net income of $975,000 for the year ended September 30, 1996. The book value of MFB Corp. Common stock, based on the actual number of shares outstanding at each period, increased from $18.29 as of September 30, 1995 to $19.05 as of September 30, 1996. Interest income increased $1.8 million during the year ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. The increase was primarily related to increased volumes of loans receivable and mortgage-backed securities partially offset by a decrease in the volume of lower yielding interest-bearing deposits and securities. A general increase in rates also contributed to the increase. Interest expense increased $1.3 million during the 1996 fiscal year, as compared to 1995, primarily as a result of increased volumes of certificates of deposit and FHLB advances. Increased rates paid on certificates of deposit also contributed to the interest expense increase. Net interest income increased $530,000 for the year ended September 30, 1996 compared to the year ended September 30, 1995. Noninterest income increased from $317,000 for the year ended September 30, 1995 to $362,000 for the twelve months ended September 30, 1996. The increase was primarily due to increased fee income related to demand deposit accounts. Noninterest expense increased to $4.8 million for the year ended September 30, 1996 from $3.8 million for the same period last year. This increase is primarily related to the one time special assessment to recapitalize the SAIF of $955,000. BIF/SAIF FUND RESOLUTION On September 30, 1996, the president signed into law a bill that included a measure to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") with a one-time special assessment. The Company accrued the expense for this one-time assessment as of September 30, 1996 in the amount of $955,000, or 65.7 basis points of the Bank's deposits at March 31, 1995. Beginning January 1, 1997 the regular insurance premium decreases from 23 basis points to 6.4 basis points. Based on deposits at September 30, 1996 annualized insurance premiums will decreases approximately $264,000 from $366,000 to $102,000, resulting in a 3.6 year recovery period for the special assessment. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Liquidity relates primarily to the Company's ability to fund loan demand, meet deposit customers' withdrawal requirements and provide for operating expenses. Assets used to satisfy these needs consist of cash, deposits with other financial institutions, overnight interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions and securities, excluding FHLB stock. These assets are commonly referred to as liquid assets. A standard measure of liquidity for savings associations is the ratio of cash and eligible investments to a certain percentage of net withdrawable savings and borrowings due within one year. The minimum required ratio is currently set by OTS regulation at 5%, of which at least 1% must be comprised of short-term investments (i.e., generally with a term of less than one year). At September 30, 1997, the Bank's liquidity ratio was 16.98% and the short-term liquidity ratio was 7.06%. Therefore, the Bank's liquidity is well above the minimum regulatory requirements. Changes in the Bank's liquidity occur as a result of its operating, investing and financing activities. These activities are discussed below for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995. Liquid assets totaled $49.1 million as of September 30, 1997 compared to $69.0 million as of September 30, 1996 and $61.4 million as of September 30, 1995. The $19.9 million decrease in liquidity from September 30, 1996 to September 30, 1997 was primarily due to a $27.1 million decrease in securities, offset by a $7.7 million increase in cash and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions. Management believes the liquidity level of $49.1 million as of September 30, 1997 is sufficient to meet anticipated liquidity needs. Liquidity levels increased $7.6 million from September 30, 1995 to September 30, 1996 due primarily to a $14.7 million increase in securities, partially offset by a $5.4 million decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits in other financial institutions. Short-term borrowings or long-term debt may be used to compensate for reduction in other sources of funds such as deposits and to assist in asset/liability management. The Bank has historically not borrowed significant amounts. However, during the year ended September 30, 1996 the Bank instituted a capital leveraging strategy that involved the purchase of earning assets funded primarily with FHLB advances. As of September 30, 1997, total FHLB borrowings amounted to $47.5 million, $23.5 million of which were used as part of this strategy. The remaining $24 million was used primarily to fund loan portfolio growth. The Bank had commitments to fund loan originations with borrowers totaling $30.6 million at September 30, 1997. In the opinion of management, the Company has sufficient cash flow and other cash resources to meet current and anticipated loan funding commitments, deposit customer withdrawal requirements and operating expenses. There were no short-term borrowings or long-term debt as of September 30, 1995. The cash flow statements provide an indication of the Company's sources and uses of cash as well as an indication of the ability of the Company to maintain an adequate level of liquidity. A discussion of the changes in the cash flow statements for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 follows. During the year ended September 30, 1997, net cash and cash equivalents increased $7.7 million from $1.7 million at September 30, 1996 to $9.4 million at September 30, 1997. The Company experienced a net increase in cash from operating activities of $1.3 million during the year that was primarily attributable to net income as adjusted for accrual basis accounting. The $23.0 million net decrease in cash from investing activities for the year ended September 30, 1997 was primarily related to the $48.9 million increase in net loans and the $29.7 million purchase of securities and FHLB stock, offset by sales and maturities of securities totaling $53.1 million and $2.9 million of mortgage-backed securities principal payments. Financing activities generated net cash of $29.4 million for the year ended September 30, 1997. The net cash was provided primarily from $23.0 million in net new FHLB advances and net deposit increases of $12.9 million, partially offset by the use of $6.4 million to repurchase the Company's stock and $554,000 in cash dividend payments during the year. For the year ended September 30, 1996, net cash decreased $5.8 million from $7.5 million at September 30, 1995 to $1.7 million at September 30, 1996. Net cash from operating activities totaled $2.2 million. The Company experienced a $44.9 million net decrease in cash from investing activities for the year ended September 30, 1996. This decrease in cash was primarily related to the net increase in loans of $30.9 million and net purchases of securities of $15.2 million. Financing activities generated net cash of $37.0 million for the year ended September 30, 1996. The net cash was provided primarily from $24.5 million in new FHLB borrowings and a $14.4 million increase in net deposits, partially offset by the use of $1.5 million to repurchase the Company's stock during the year. For the year ended September 30, 1995, net cash increased $1.3 million from $6.2 million at September 30, 1994 to $7.5 million at September 30, 1995. Net cash from operating activities totaled 3.8 million. Of this amount, $2.0 million was related to the September, 1995 commitment to purchase securities (settlement October, 1995), thereby increasing accrued expenses and other liabilities for 1995. The remaining $1.8 million increase for the year ended September 30, 1995 was a result of net income as adjusted for accrual basis accounting. The Company experienced a $2.0 million net decrease in cash from investing activities for the year ended September 30, 1995. This decrease in cash resulted primarily from the net increase in loans exceeding the net decrease in securities and interest-bearing time deposits in other financial institutions. The Company also experienced a $461,000 net decrease in cash from financing activities for the year ended September 30, 1995, as the purchases and retirement of $1.5 million of MFB Corp. common stock exceeded the net increases in deposits and advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance. As of September 30, 1997 management is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or operations. CURRENT ACCOUNTING ISSUES SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities," was issued in 1996. It revises the accounting for transfers of financial assets, such as loans and securities, and for distinguishing between sales and secured borrowings. It became effective for some transactions occurring after December 31, 1996, and will be effective for others in 1998. The impact of partial adoption in 1997 was not material to the 1997 consolidated financial statements and the impact of the complete adoption in 1998 is also not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements. Also, in March 1997, the accounting requirements for calculating earnings per share were revised by SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Basic earnings per share for the quarter ending December 31, 1997 and later will be calculated solely on average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share will reflect the potential dilution of stock options and other common stock equivalents. All prior calculations will be restated to be comparable to the new methods. As the Company has dilution from stock options, the new calculation methods will increase basic earnings per share over what otherwise would have been reported as primary earnings per share, while there will be little effect on fully diluted earnings per share. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This Statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenue, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. This Statement requires that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Income tax effects must also be shown. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. This Statement is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. IMPACT OF INFLATION The audited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These principles require measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars (except for securities available for sale which are reported at fair market value and loans held for sale which are reported at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate), without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary assets and liabilities of the Bank are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Company's performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates, however, do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the price of good and services, since such prices are affected by inflation. In periods of rapidly rising interest rates, the liquidity and maturity structures of the Company's assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels. For a discussion of the Company's continuing efforts to reduce its vulnerability to changes in interest rates, see "Asset/Liability Management". The principal effect of inflation, as distinct from levels of interest rates, on earnings is in the area of noninterest expense. Such expense items as employee compensation, employee benefits, and occupancy and equipment costs may be subject to increases as a result of inflation. An additional effect of inflation is the possible increase in the dollar value of the collateral securing loans made by the Bank. Management is unable to determine the extent, if any, to which properties securing the Bank's loans have appreciated in dollar value due to inflation.

MFB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MFB Corp., Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (together referred to as "the Company"), MFB Financial (the "Bank"), a federal stock savings bank, and Mishawaka Financial Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. Mishawaka Financial Services, Inc. is engaged in the sale of credit life, general fire and accident, car, home and life insurance as agent for the Bank's customers and the general public. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Nature of Business and Concentrations of Credit Risk: The primary source of income for the Company results from granting commercial and residential real estate loans in Mishawaka and the surrounding area. Loans secured by real estate mortgages comprise approximately 96% of the loan portfolio at September 30, 1997 and are primarily secured by residential mortgages. The Company operates primarily in the banking industry which accounts for more than 90% of its revenues, operating income and assets. Use of Estimates In Preparing Financial Statements: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the disclosures provided. Areas involving the use of estimates and assumptions in the accompanying financial statements include the allowance for loan losses, fair values of securities and other financial instruments, determination and carrying value of loans held for sale, determination and carrying value of impaired loans, the value of mortgage servicing rights, the value of stock options, the realization of deferred tax assets, and the determination of depreciation of premises and equipment recognized in the Company's financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates associated with the allowance for loan losses and the fair values of securities and other financial instruments are particularly susceptible to material change in the near term. Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents is defined to include the Company's cash on hand, due from financial institutions and short-term interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions. The Company reports net cash flows for customer loan transactions, deposit transactions, short term borrowings having an original maturity of 90 days or less, advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance, and interest-bearing time deposits in other financial institutions. MFB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Securities: Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported separately in shareholders' equity, net of tax. Securities are classified as trading when held for short term periods in anticipation of market gains, and are carried at fair value. Securities are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not temporary. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method based on amortized cost and are reflected in results of operations at the time of sale. Interest and dividend income, adjusted by amortization of purchase premium or discount over the estimated life of the security using the level yield method, is included in earnings. Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized in a valuation allowance by charges to income. Loans Receivable: Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal balances adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Premiums or discounts on mortgage loans are amortized to income using the level yield method over the remaining period to contractual maturity, adjusted for anticipated prepayments. Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest income using the interest method. Because some loans may not be repaid in full, an allowance for loan losses is recorded. The allowance for loan losses is increased by a provision for loan losses charged to expense and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Estimating the risk of loss and the amount of loss on any loan is necessarily subjective. Accordingly, the allowance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover losses that are currently anticipated. Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, periodic, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. While management may periodically allocate portions of the allowance for specific problem loan situations, the whole allowance is available for any loan charge-offs that occur. MFB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Loans are considered impaired if full principal or interest payments are not anticipated in accordance with the contractual loan terms. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans if the value of such loans is deemed to be less than the unpaid balance. If these allocations cause the allowance for loan losses to require increase, such increase is reported as a component of the provision for loan losses. Smaller-balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total. Such loans include residential first mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residences, residential construction loans, automobile, manufactured homes, home equity and second mortgage loans. Commercial loans and mortgage loans secured by other properties are evaluated individually for impairment. When analysis of borrower operating results and financial condition indicates that underlying cash flows of the borrower's business are not adequate to meet its debt service requirements, the loan is evaluated for impairment. Often this is associated with a delay or shortfall in payments of 30 days or more. Nonaccrual loans are often also considered impaired. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible. The nature of disclosures for impaired loans is considered generally comparable to prior nonaccrual and renegotiated loans and non-performing and past due asset disclosures. Interest income on loans is accrued over the term of the loans based upon the principal outstanding. The accrual of interest on impaired loans in 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. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received until, in management's judgment, the borrower has the ability to make contractual interest and principal payments, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status. Foreclosed Real Estate: Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition, establishing a new cost basis. Any reduction to fair value from the carrying value of the related loan at the time of acquisition is accounted for as a loan loss and charged against the allowance for loan losses. Valuations are periodically performed by management and valuation allowances are adjusted through a charge to income for changes in fair value or estimated selling costs. There were no properties held as foreclosed real estate at September 30, 1997 or 1996. Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through income tax expense. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. MFB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Buildings and improvements and furniture and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization computed principally by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. These assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Servicing Rights: Prior to adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 122 on October 1, 1996, servicing right assets were recorded only for purchased rights to service mortgage loans. Subsequent to adopting this standard, servicing rights represent both purchased rights and 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 then, secondarily, as to geographic and prepayment characteristics. Any impairment of a grouping is reported as a valuation allowance. The effect of adopting this standard was not material. Excess servicing receivable is reported when a loan sale results in servicing income in excess of normal amounts, and is expensed over the life of the servicing on the interest method. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP): The Company accounts for its ESOP under AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 93-6. The cost of shares issued to the ESOP, but not yet allocated to participants, are presented as a reduction of shareholders' equity. Compensation expense is recorded based on the average market price of the shares committed to be released for allocation to participant accounts. The difference between the market price and the cost of shares committed to be released is recorded as an adjustment to common stock. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares are reflected as a reduction of debt and accrued interest. ESOP shares are outstanding for earnings per share calculations as they are committed to be released; unearned shares are not considered outstanding. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk: The Company, in the normal course of business, makes commitments to make loans which are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. A summary of these commitments is disclosed in Note 12. MFB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Earnings Per Share: Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common share equivalents which would arise from considering dilutive stock options. The weighted average number of shares for calculating earnings per common share is: 1997 1996 1995 --------- --------- --------- Primary 1,732,528 2,008,323 2,083,528 Fully diluted 1,752,687 2,035,087 2,106,785 Stock Compensation: Expense for employee compensation under stock option plans is based on Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 25, with expense reported only if options are granted below market price at grant date.

AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 NOTE 8 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Employee Pension Plan: The Bank is part of a qualified noncontributory multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The plan is administered by the trustees of the Financial Institutions Retirement Fund (Retirement Fund). There is no separate valuation of plan benefits nor segregation of plan assets specifically for the Bank because the plan is a multiple-employer plan and separate actuarial valuations are not made with respect to each employer nor are the plan assets so segregated. As of July 1, 1997, the latest actuarial valuation date, total plan assets exceeded the actuarially determined value of total vested benefits. The cost of the plan is set annually as an established percentage of wages. Pension plan expense for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was approximately $1,500, $3,000 and $179,000, respectively. Pension plan expense for the year ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 was reduced due to a change in the benefit formula from 2% of high 5 year average salary for each year of benefit service to 1.5%. 401(k) Plan: On July 1, 1996, the Company adopted a retirement savings 401(k) plan which covers all full time employees who are 21 or older and have completed one year of service. Beginning August 1, 1996, participants may defer up to 15% of compensation. The Company matches 50% of elective deferrals on 6% of the participants' compensation. Expense for the 401(k) plan for the years ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $42,000 and $5,000, respectively. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP): In conjunction with its stock conversion, the Company established an ESOP for eligible employees. Employees with at least one year of employment and who have attained age twenty-one are eligible to participate. The ESOP borrowed $1,400,000 from the Company to purchase 140,000 shares of common stock issued in the conversion at $10 per share. Collateral for the loan is the unearned shares of common stock purchased by the ESOP with the loan proceeds. The loan will be repaid principally from the Company's discretionary contributions to the ESOP over a period of seven years. The interest rate for the loan is 6.25%. Shares purchased by the ESOP will be held in suspense until allocated among ESOP participants as the loan is repaid. ESOP expense was approximately $388,000, $317,000 and $300,000 for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995. Contributions to the ESOP, including dividends on unearned ESOP shares, was approximately $229,000, $206,000 and $200,000 during the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995. Company contributions to the ESOP and shares released from suspense proportional to the repayment of the ESOP loan are allocated among ESOP participants on the basis of compensation in the year of allocation. Benefits generally become 100% vested after five years of credited service. A participant who terminates employment for reasons other than death, normal retirement (or early retirement), or disability prior to the completion of five years of credited service does not receive any benefits under the ESOP. Forfeitures are reallocated among the remaining participating employees, in the same proportion as contributions. MFB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 NOTE 8 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (Continued) Benefits are payable in the form of stock except for fractional shares which are paid in cash upon termination of employment. The Company's contributions to the ESOP are not fixed, so benefits payable under the ESOP cannot be estimated. ESOP participants receive distributions from their ESOP accounts only upon termination of service. At September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, 23,276, 21,515 and 22,516 shares with an average fair value of $17.92, $15.04 and $13.31 per share, were committed to be released. The ESOP shares as of September 30 were as follows: 1997 1996 ----------- ----------- Allocated shares 78,968 55,692 Unearned shares 61,032 84,308 Shares withdrawn from the plan by participants (5,601) (2,347) Total ESOP shares held in the plan 134,399 137,653 ----------- ----------- Fair value of unearned shares $ 1,419,000 $ 1,560,000 =========== =========== Recognition and Retention Plans (RRPs): In conjunction with its stock conversion, the Company established RRPs as a method of providing directors, officers and other key employees of the Company with a proprietary interest in the Company in a manner designed to encourage such persons to remain with the Company. Eligible directors, officers and other key employees of the Company become vested in awarded shares of common stock at a rate of 20% per year commencing March 24, 1994. The RRPs acquired, in the aggregate, 70,000 shares of common stock issued in the conversion at $10 per share and 70,000 shares were awarded to RRP participants at no cost to them. RRP expense for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was approximately $77,000, $98,000 and $250,000, respectively. Stock Option Plan: The Board of Directors of the Company adopted the MFB Corp. Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan"). The number of options authorized under the Plan is 200,000 shares of common stock. Officers, employees and outside directors of the Company and its subsidiary are eligible to participate in the Option Plan. The option exercise price must be no less than 85% of the fair market value of common stock on the date of the grant, and the option term cannot exceed ten years and one day from the date of the grant. As of September 30, 1997, all options granted have an exercise price of at least 100% of the market value of the common stock on the date of grant and no compensation expense was recognized for stock options for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995. MFB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 NNOTE 8 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (Continued) SFAS No. 123, which became effective for the year ended September 30, 1997, requires pro forma disclosures for companies that do not adopt its fair value accounting method for stock-based employee compensation. The effects on the Company's net income and earnings per share under the provisions of SFAS No. 123 were not material for the years ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. In future years, the pro forma effect of not applying this standard is expected to increase as additional options are granted.

AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES The Company files consolidated income tax returns. Prior to fiscal 1997, if certain conditions were met in determining taxable income, the Bank was allowed a special bad debt deduction based on a percentage of taxable income (8% for fiscal 1996 and 1995) or on specified experience formulas. The Bank used the percentage-of-taxable-income method for the tax year ended September 30, 1995, but was unable to use this method for the tax year ended September 30, 1996. Tax legislation passed in August 1996 now requires the Bank to deduct a provision for bad debts for tax purposes based on actual loss experience and recapture the excess bad debt reserve accumulated in tax years after September 30, 1987. The related amount of deferred tax liability which must be recaptured is approximately $446,000 and is payable over a six year period beginning no later than the tax year ending September 30, 1999. Income tax expense for the years ended September 30 are summarized as follows: 1997 1996 1995 Federal Current $ 765,810 $725,920 $622,992 Deferred 264,314 (225,467) 12,487 1,030,124 500,453 635,479 State Current 223,225 225,213 176,270 Deferred 68,281 (78,873) 7,703 291,506 146,340 183,973 Total income tax expense $1,321,630 $ 646,793 $ 819,452 Total income tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the federal income tax rate of 34% in all periods presented to income before income taxes as a result of the following for the years ended September 30: 1997 1996 1995 ----------- ----------- ----------- Income taxes at statutory rate $ 1,130,103 $ 551,461 $ 698,890 Tax effect of: State tax, net of federal income tax effect 192,394 96,584 121,422 Excess of fair value of ESOP shares released over cost 63,972 39,864 33,861 Other items, net (64,839) (41,116) (34,721) ----------- ----------- ----------- Total income tax expense $ 1,321,630 $ 646,793 $ 819,452 =========== =========== =========== MFB CORP.

Accounting standards do not require a deferred tax liability to be recorded on this amount, which liability would otherwise total $1,563,000 at September 30, 1997 and 1996. If the Bank were liquidated or otherwise ceases to be a bank or if tax laws change, the $1,563,000 would be recorded as expense. NOTE 10 - REGULATORY MATTERS The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors, and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. MFB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 NOTE 10 - REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued) The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required. The Bank's actual capital and required capital amounts and ratios are presented below: Minimum Requirement Minimum To Be Well Requirement Capitalized Under For Capital Prompt Corrective Actual Adequacy Purposes Action Provisions ------ ----------------- ----------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- (Dollars in thousands) As of September 30, 1997 Total capital (to risk weighted assets) $32,184 25.40% $10,139 8.00% $12,673 10.00% Tier I (core) capital (to risk weighted assets) 31,814 25.10 5,069 4.00 7,604 6.00 Tier I (core) capital (to adjusted total assets) 31,814 12.43 7,676 3.00 N/A N/A Tangible capital (to adjusted total assets) 31,814 12.43 3,838 1.50 N/A N/A Tier I (core) capital (to average assets) 31,814 13.42 9,482 4.00 11,853 5.00 As of September 30, 1996 Total capital (to risk weighted assets) $31,668 32.69% $ 7,749 8.00% $ 9,686 10.00% Tier I (core) capital (to risk weighted assets) 31,328 32.34 3,874 4.00 5,812 6.00 Tier I (core) capital (to adjusted total assets) 31,328 13.85 6,785 3.00 N/A N/A Tangible capital (to adjusted total assets) 31,328 13.85 3,392 1.50 N/A N/A Tier I (core) capital (to average assets) 31,328 15.62 8,023 4.00 10,029 5.00 Regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision limit the dividends that may be paid without prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. The Bank is currently a "well-capitalized" Tier 1 institution and can make distributions during a year of 100% of its net income to date during the year plus one-half its "surplus capital ratio" (the excess over its capital requirements) at the beginning of the calendar year. Accordingly, at September 30, 1997 approximately $11,548,000 of the Bank's retained earnings is available for distribution to the Company. MFB CORP.

Rates on variable rate loans range from 6.50% to 9.25% and are tied primarily to the National Monthly Median Cost of Funds Ratio to SAIF - Insured Institutions. Since commitments to make loans and to fund unused lines of credit and loans in process may expire without being used, the amounts do not necessarily represent future cash commitments. In addition, commitments are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. The maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party is the contractual amount of these instruments. The same credit policy is used to make such commitments as is used for loans receivable. Under employment agreements with certain executives, officers, certain events leading to separation from the Company could result in cash payments totaling $1,018,000 as of September 30, 1997. The Company and the Bank are subject to certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operation of the Company.

Items which are not financial instruments are not included. 1 9 9 7 1 9 9 6 Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value ------ ---------- ------ ---------- Cash and cash equivalents $ 9,482,348 $ 9,482,000 $ 1,734,388 $ 1,734,000 Interest-bearing time deposits in other financial institutions -- -- 495,000 495,000 Securities available for sale 39,628,414 39,628,000 66,762,558 66,763,000 FHLB stock 2,400,000 2,400,000 1,336,100 1,336,000 Loans held for sale, net 12,671,186 12,671,000 -- -- Loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses 188,264,198 191,855,000 152,052,092 152,341,000 Accrued interest receivable 718,427 718,000 818,014 818,000 Noninterest bearing demand deposits (2,046,702) (2,047,000) (1,942,145) (1,942,000) Savings, NOW and MMDA deposits (38,130,008) (38,130,000) (34,779,548) (34,780,000) Other time deposits (131,710,557) (131,975,000) (122,242,796) (122,579,000) Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (388,920) (389,000) -- -- FHLB advances (47,500,000) (47,092,000) (24,500,000) (24,337,000) For purposes of the above disclosures of estimated fair value, the following assumptions were used as of September 30, 1997 and 1996. The estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents is considered to approximate cost. The estimated fair value of interest-bearing time deposits in other financial institutions is based upon estimates of the rate the Company would receive on such deposits at September 30, 1997 and 1996, applied for the time period until maturity. The estimated fair value for securities available for sale, is based upon quoted market values for the individual securities or for equivalent securities. The estimated fair value for loans held for sale, net, is based on the price offered in the secondary market on September 30, 1997 for loans having similar interest rates and maturities. The estimated fair value for loans receivable is based upon estimates of the difference in interest rates the Company would charge the borrowers for similar such loans with similar maturities made at September 30, 1997 and 1996, applied for an estimated time period until the loan is assumed to reprice or be paid. In addition, when computing the estimated fair value for loans receivable, the allowance for loan losses was subtracted from the calculated fair value for consideration of credit issues. The estimated fair value for FHLB stock, accrued interest receivable, noninterest bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW and MMDA deposits is based upon their carrying value. The estimated fair value for other time deposits as well as securities sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances is based upon estimates of the rate the Company would pay on such deposits or borrowings at September 30, 1997 and 1996, applied for the time period until maturity. The estimated fair value of other financial instruments and off-balance-sheet loan commitments approximate cost and are not considered significant to this presentation. MFB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 NOTE 14 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) While these estimates of fair value are based on management's judgment of the most appropriate factors, there is no assurance that were the Company to have disposed of such items at September 30, 1997 and 1996, the estimated fair values would necessarily have been achieved at that date, since market values may differ depending on various circumstances. The estimated fair values at September 30, 1997 and 1996 should not necessarily be considered to apply at subsequent dates. In addition, other assets and liabilities of the Company that are not defined as financial instruments are not included in the above disclosures, such as property and equipment. Also, nonfinancial instruments typically not recognized in financial statements nevertheless may have value but are not included in the above disclosures. Excluded, among other items, are the estimated earning power of core deposit accounts, the trained work force, customer goodwill and similar items. NOTE 15 - SAIF DEPOSIT INSURANCE PREMIUM The deposits of savings associations such as the Bank are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). A recapitalization plan signed into law on September 30, 1996 provided for a one-time assessment of 65.7 basis points applied to all SAIF deposits as of March 31, 1995. Based on the Bank's deposits as of this date, a one-time assessment of approximately $955,000 was paid and recorded as SAIF deposit insurance premium expense for the year ended September 30, 1996. NOTE 16 - IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities," was issued in 1996. It revises the accounting for transfers of financial assets, such as loans and securities, and for distinguishing between sales and secured borrowings. It became effective for some transactions occurring after December 31, 1996, and will be effective for others in 1998. The impact of partial adoption in 1997 was not material to the 1997 consolidated financial statements and the impact of the complete adoption in 1998 is also not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements. Also, in March 1997, the accounting requirements for calculating earnings per share were revised by SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Basic earnings per share for the quarter ending December 31, 1997 and later will be calculated solely on average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share will reflect the potential dilution of stock options and other common stock equivalents. All prior calculations will be restated to be comparable to the new methods. As the Company has dilution from stock options, the new calculation methods will increase basic earnings per share over what otherwise would have been reported as primary earnings per share, while there will be little effect on fully diluted earnings per share. MFB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 NOTE 16 - IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued) In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This Statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenue, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. This Statement requires that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Income tax effects must also be shown. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. This Statement is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. MFB CORP.
