MFB Corp. and the Bank (collectively referred to as the "Company") conduct business from their main office in Mishawaka, Indiana, and six branch locations in St. Joseph and Elkhart Counties of Indiana. The Bank offers a variety of lending, deposit, trust and other financial services to its retail and commercial customers. The Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Mishawaka Financial Services, Inc., offers general property, casualty, life and health insurance to customers in the Bank's market area. The Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries, MFB Investments I, Inc., MFB Investments II, Inc. and MFB Investments, LP are Nevada corporations and a Nevada limited partnership that manage a portion of the Bank's investment portfolio. 1 MESSAGE TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS On behalf of the Board of Directors, our management team and all the employees of MFB Corp. ("the Company") and its subsidiary, MFB Financial ("the Bank"), it is my pleasure to provide you with our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. As the economy struggles to recover from recession, interest rates continue to hover near 40 year lows. The prospects of significant movement from current interest rate levels are uncertain, but should clearly be driven by improvement in consumer confidence. Such improvement generally translates into consumer demand and spending. Perhaps the holiday season will provide some insight into that confidence level and set the stage for the broad based recovery we would all welcome. In the interim, net interest margins for the Company will continue to be under pressure. The past year was one of several notable achievements. Total assets grew to $428.6 million, an all time high. Likewise, total bank deposits grew over 10% for the year to a record $292 million, allowing the Bank to reduce its reliance on wholesale funding sources. More importantly, this growth was predominantly "core" deposit grow. Demand, NOW, MMDA and savings accounts represented over 97% of the $27.7 million growth that was achieved. These "relationship building" type accounts are the foundation of our strategy to be the community bank of choice throughout our market and will drive future bank profitability. The historically low rate environment resulted in an outstanding year of mortgage loan production. Secondary market mortgage loan sales totaled $113.3 million last year and generated $3.4 million in net realized gains. The portfolio of loans serviced for others grew by $29 million to $161.6 million during the year. All of these are record levels for the Bank. In addition, business and consumer loans grew by $9.5 million and $3.4 million respectively, as the Bank continues to diversify the loan portfolio and meet the credit needs of our entire community. Simultaneously, nonperforming assets declined from 1.88% of total loans one year ago to 1.43% at year end, evidencing our commitment to asset quality. The Company generated net income of $2.4 million ($1.80 diluted earnings per common share) for the year. Book value per common share outstanding was $26.60 at year-end and the Company increased the annualized dividend rate again this year to $0.435 per share, the seventh consecutive annual increase. The market value of the Company's shares increased from $21.89 per share at September 30, 2002 to $32.00 per share at September 30, 2003, an impressive increase of more than 46%. During the year more than 75,000 shares were repurchased by the Company at an average price of $22.25 per share, further enhancing your shareholder value. We remain committed to generating long term value to our shareholders and believe we have positioned the company to achieve that result for years to come. Many challenges lay ahead, but management is confidently prepared to meet those challenges. Charles J. Viater President and Chief Executive Office MFB CORP.

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 funds, the number and quality of lenders, and regional economic cycles. Sources of funds for lending activities of the Bank include deposits, borrowings, payments on loans, sale of 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 losses, service charges, fee income, gains from sales of loans, mortgage loan servicing fees, income from subsidiary activities, operating expenses and income taxes. 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 which could affect 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, determining the fair value of securities and other financial instruments and the valuation of mortgage servicing rights. The Company's critical accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements under "Securities," "Mortgage Banking Activities," and "Loans Receivable." COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 AND 2002 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Consolidated net income for the Company for the year ended September 30, 2003 was $2.4 million or $1.80 diluted net income per common share compared to $649,000 or $0.47 diluted net income per common share for the same period in 2002. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to a decreased provision for loan losses over last year and an increase in noninterest income offset by decreased net interest income and an increase in noninterest expense. Net interest income totaled $10.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2003 compared to $11.9 million for the same period one year ago. Interest income decreased $2.8 million and interest expense decreased $1.6 million during the year ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. Despite increases in the volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities over the prior year, net interest income decreased as a result of the decline in the interest rates earned on interest earning assets exceeding the decline in interest rates paid on interest bearing liabilities. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 78 basis points from 6.43% in 2002 to 5.65% in 2003. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 46 basis points from 3.80% to 3.34% during the same period, and as a result, the interest rate spread decreased 32 basis points from 2.63% to 2.31% in 2003. The rate paid on interest bearing deposits declined from 2.95% last year to 2.30% this year. However, the rate paid on FHLB borrowings only declined from 5.68% to 5.64%. The provision for loan losses is determined in conjunction with management's review and evaluation of current economic conditions, changes in the character and size of the loan portfolio, loan delinquencies (current status as well as past trends), adequacy of collateral securing impaired and delinquent loans, historical and estimated net charge-offs and other pertinent information. Based on the factors above, the provision for loan losses decreased from $3.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2002 to $1.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2003. Net charge-offs totaled $2.9 million and $1.1 million for the years ended September 30, 2002 and 2003 respectively. For the year ended September 30, 2002, the provision was charged $1.25 million related to a commercial loan to a furniture manufacturing company. The provision was also charged $770,000 for increases in loss allocations on certain commercial loans from information obtained from a required periodic examination completed in August 2002 by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). For the year ended September 30, 2003, the $1.1 million provision relates specifically to the factors above and $387,000 in charge offs on two loans exceeding specific reserves allocated to those loans. The Bank continues to improve its loan review and risk assessment procedures giving particular consideration to the risks related to the growing commercial loan portfolio and the risk of loss for $4.0 million of commercial loans classified as impaired at the end of this year. Impaired loans declined from $6.6 million at September 30, 2002 due to the loan charge offs above and an $850,000 reduction in the balance of one specific impaired loan from liquidation of collateral. Noninterest income increased from $2.2 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2002 to $5.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2003. Service charges on deposit accounts, trust fee income, insurance commissions and net gains from sale of loans reflected strong growth from 2002 to 2003. The decline in the overall interest rate environment resulted in a significant increase in mortgage loan originations and subsequent mortgage loan sales to the secondary market. Related to this, the rate decline also contributed to heavy mortgage refinancings leading to a significant increase in amortization of mortgage servicing rights which is netted against loan servicing fees. Other noninterest income increased primarily due to income earned from the purchase of two bank owned life insurance policies. In addition to the items above, the increase in noninterest income was affected by two additional items, mortgage servicing right impairment and net gain (loss) on securities. During the third quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded a $704,000 ($425,000 net of tax) impairment charge due to the decline in value of its approximate $161.6 million mortgage loan servicing portfolio. The value of mortgage servicing portfolios in the mortgage banking industry has declined significantly from last year due to the record low interest rate environment. Due to a moderate increase in values, a $465,000 ($280,000 net of tax) impairment recovery was recorded during the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2003. During the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded an $895,000 write down of a $1.0 million WorldCom, Inc. corporate note investment. That note was sold in October, 2002 for $160,000 netting a gain of $40,000. Noninterest expense increased from $10.1 million to $11.5 million for the comparable twelve month periods ending September 30. The significant growth in salaries and benefits is the result of continued staffing of several key positions in the organization designed to position the Bank for growth in the coming years, increases in mortgage commissions due to significantly higher mortgage origination volume and pension expense related to the termination of the Company's pension plan. Occupancy expense increased due to additional furniture and equipment purchases while data processing expense decreased due to the renegotiation of contracted information system services. Other expense increased over last year due to increases in advertising, telephone, postage, loan origination, business development, consulting and foreclosure expenses. BALANCE SHEET COMPOSITION Cash and cash equivalents increased $12.8 million from $27.6 million as of September 30, 2002 to $40.4 million as of September 30, 2003. Net cash provided by operating activities and financing activities amounting to $14.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively was partially offset by net cash used in investing activities of $7.3 million. As of September 30, 2003, the total securities available for sale portfolio amounted to $40.0 million, a decrease of $13.6 million from $53.6 million at September 30, 2002. The securities portfolio activity included security purchases of $27.2 million, security maturities and sales totaling $5.2 million, principal payments on mortgage-backed and related securities of $34.4 million, and a $1.2 million decrease due to premium amortization and market value declines on securities available for sale. As of September 30, 2003, loans receivable were $318.2 million, an increase of $1.8 million from $316.4 million as of September 30, 2002. Commercial loans outstanding increased by $9.5 million from $121.1 million at September 30, 2002 to $130.6 million at September 30, 2003. Consumer loan receivables, which include home equity term loans and lines of credit, increased $3.4 to $24.5 million while residential mortgage loans decreased $10.6 million to $158.3 million at September 30, 2003. The decline in mortgage loans reflects the significant volume of mortgage loan payoffs and refinancings during the year. The majority of new loan originations were fixed rate loans sold to the secondary market. Diversification of the asset mix in the balance sheet will continue to be a focus to improve profit margins, control margin volatility and to appeal to a broader range of customers and potential customers. The Company continues to build on its reputation as a quality local lender satisfying the market's desire for local service and local decision making. During the year ended September 30, 2003, the Company completed secondary market mortgage loan sales totaling $113.3 million, and the net gains realized on these loan sales were $3.4 million, including $1.3 related to recording mortgage loan servicing rights. The mortgage loan sales activity reflected a 53.3% increase over last year. Mortgage loans serviced for others by the Company grew from $132.6 million last year to $161.6 million at the end of this year. The loans sold during the year ended September 30, 2003 were primarily fixed rate mortgage loans with maturities of fifteen years or longer. The sale of mortgage loans serves as a source of additional liquidity and management anticipates that the Company will continue to deliver fixed rate loans to the secondary market to meet consumer demand, manage interest rate risk, and diversify the asset mix of the Company. Adjustable rate loans often provide rates of return that are generally superior to other investments that carry similar terms to repricing. The Company anticipates that these loans will continue to be originated and retained in the Bank's portfolio. As part of its efforts to manage interest rate risk, the Company originated and held in its portfolio $8.9 million of fixed rate mortgage loans originated during 2003, with an interest rate of 5.94%. At September 30, 2003, $6.6 million of loans were classified as loans held for sale compared to $6.4 million at September 30, 2002. The Company's allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2003 was $5.2 million or 1.63% of loans, comparable to the $5.1 million or 1.63% of loans at the end of last year. The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans was 1.43% at September 30, 2003 compared to 1.88% at September 30, 2002. Based on the evaluation of many factors including current economic conditions, changes in the character and size of the loan portfolio, current and past delinquency trends and historical and estimated net charge-offs, the Company provided $1.1 million to its allowance for loan losses during the year ended September 30, 2003 compared to $3.4 million for the prior year ended September 30, 2002. Net charge offs deducted from the allowance for loan losses were $1.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2003 compared to $2.9 million last year. A total of $1.04 million of the charge offs this year were on three specific commercial loan relationships. Premises and equipment increased from $5.1 million at September 30, 2002 to $6.1 million at September 30, 2003 due to equipment purchases and the addition of one new branch building. On October 31, 2003, the Company completed the $7.3 million purchase of an existing building in Mishawaka, Indiana to serve as its new corporate headquarters. The Company expects to occupy approximately 35% of that 120,000 square foot building and lease the remaining space to tenants. Presently, tenants occupy approximately 30,000 square feet under leases that run through May 31, 2004. Additional tenants are being actively pursued prior to the Company's scheduled occupation of the building in April, 2004. The building's estimated annual operating expense of $1.2 million before tax is expected to be largely offset by tenant rental income and expense savings from ceasing to operate present business development, administrative and operational functions out of two locations. In addition, the location of the new headquarters building is expected to accelerate the growth, recognition and efficiency of the organization. In November, 2002, the Company invested $5.0 million for bank owned life insurance policies on key employees of the Bank. The book value of those policies at September 30, 2003, was $5.2 million. Total deposits increased $27.7 million to $292.1 million as of September 30, 2003 from $264.4 million as of September 30, 2002. Core deposits consisting of demand, NOW, savings and MMDA accounts increased from $106.8 million to $133.8 million from September 30, 2002 to September 30, 2003. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances decreased from $119.2 million as of September 30, 2002 to $98.8 million as of September 30, 2003. The growth in deposits primarily funded the increase in loans during the year as well as providing the source for the reduction of the advances. Total shareholders' equity increased from $34.0 million as of September 30, 2002 to $34.3 million as of September 30, 2003. The increases to equity resulted from net income of $2.4 million and $408,000 generated from the exercise of stock options, offset by $1.7 million of treasury stock purchases, cash dividend payments of $560,000, and a $272,000 adjustment to reflect the increase in market value of securities available for sale. The book value of MFB Corp. common stock, based on the actual number of shares outstanding, increased from $25.53 at September 30, 2002 to $26.60 at September 30, 2003. COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Consolidated net income for the Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 was $649,000 or $0.47 diluted net income per common share compared to $1.9 million or $1.38 diluted net income per common share for the same period in 2001. The decline in net income was primarily attributable to an increased provision for loan losses, increased securities losses and an increase in noninterest expense in 2002 partially offset by increased noninterest income (excluding the securities losses) and decreased income tax expense. Net interest income totaled $11.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2002 compared to $12.1 million for the same fiscal period in 2001. Interest income decreased $4.3 million during the year ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same fiscal period in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to reduction in overall rates during 2002, particularly on mortgage, commercial and consumer loans, investment securities and deposits in other financial institutions. Interest expense decreased $4.1 million reflecting the reduction in interest rates. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 124 basis points from 7.67% in 2001 to 6.43% in 2002. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 122 basis points from 5.02% to 3.80% during the same period, and as a result, the interest rate spread decreased two basis points from 2.65% to 2.63% in 2002. The provision for loan losses increased from $3.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2001 to $3.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2002. As previously mentioned, the provision was charged $2.0 million related to a commercial loan to a furniture manufacturing company and for increases in loss allocations on certain commercial loans. A charge to the provision of $1.8 million was taken the year ended September 30, 2001 on a loan to an auto dealership that declared bankruptcy. Noninterest income decreased from $2.6 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2001 to $2.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2002. The noninterest income decrease was primarily due to the write down of the WorldCom corporate note investment previously mentioned. Service charges on deposit accounts, trust fee income, insurance commissions and net gains from sale of loans reflected strong growth from 2001 to 2002. Other noninterest income declined primarily due to reductions in loan servicing fees net of amortization of mortgage servicing rights and increased low income housing partnership equity loss. Noninterest expense increased from $8.7 million to $10.1 million for the comparable twelve month periods ending September 30. These noninterest expense increases are primarily attributable to staffing increases and expenses incurred in the offering of additional services to the Bank's customers. ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the extent that its interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances, reprice more rapidly or at different rates than its interest-earning assets. A key element of the Company's asset/liability plan is to protect net earnings by managing the maturity or repricing mismatch between its interest-earning assets and rate-sensitive liabilities. Historically, the Company has sought to reduce exposure to its earnings through the use of adjustable rate loans and through the sale of fixed rate loans in the secondary market, and by extending funding maturities through the use of FHLB advances. As part of its efforts to monitor and manage interest rate risk, the Company uses the Net Portfolio Value ("NPV") methodology adopted by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) as part of its capital regulations. 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 which was 5.15% as of June 30, 2003, (the most recently available data). The NPV has declined from 7.15% at June 30, 2002 due to the continued decline in overall interest rates over that time period. 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. The Company's asset/liability management strategy dictates acceptable limits on the amounts of change in NPV given certain changes in interest rates. The tables presented here, as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, are an analysis of the Company's interest rate risk as measured by changes in NPV for instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve, in 100 basis point increments, up 300 basis points and down 100 basis points (Due to the abnormally low interest rate environment at June 30, 2003 and 2002, data was not available from the OTS for the shift downward in rates by 200 and 300 basis points). As illustrated in the June 30, 2003 table below, the Company's interest rate risk is sensitive to future declines in rates. This is due to the decrease in value of adjustable rate loans that would occur with a rate reduction. Values of interest bearing deposits in this scenario would change minimally since they are currently at a record low level. Conversely, an increase in rate would benefit the Company through an increase in the value of adjustable rate loans. In addition, the relative value of interest bearing deposits and FHLB borrowings would increase the Company's NPV ratio under a rising rate scenario due to the high proportion of longer term deposits and borrowings.

Based upon the assumptions utilized, an immediate 200 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a $1.6 million or 7% increase in the Company's NPV and would result in a 51 basis point or 9.9% increase in the Company's NPV ratio to 5.66%. Conversely, an immediate 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in a $3.5 million or 16% decrease in the Company's NPV, and a 85 basis point or 16.5% decrease in the Company's NPV ratio to 4.30%. As illustrated in the June 30, 2002 table below, the Company's interest rate risk was sensitive to both rising and declining rates. At June 30, 2002, the Company had a higher percentage of adjustable rate loans in its portfolio. Comparable to June 30, 2003, a decline in rates would decrease in value of those adjustable rate loans. However, with relatively higher interest rate levels at June 30, 2002, compared to June 30, 2003, the increase in value of those loans was mitigated due to the assumption that borrower prepayments increase and those loans are converted to fixed rate loans.

Based upon the assumptions utilized, an immediate 200 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a $3.8 million or 12.0% decline in the Company's NPV and would result in a 68 basis point or 9.5% decline in the Company's NPV ratio to 6.47%. Conversely, an immediate 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in a $1.5 million or 5.0% decrease in the Company's NPV, and a 43 basis point or 6.0% decrease in the Company's NPV ratio to 6.72%. In addition to monitoring selected measures of NPV, management also monitors effects on net interest income resulting from increases or decreases in rates. This process 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. In evaluating the Company's exposure to interest rate movements, certain shortcomings inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables must be considered. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or repricing periods, 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 adjustable rate mortgages (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 Board of Directors and management of the Company believe that certain factors afford the Company the ability to operate successfully despite its exposure to interest rate risk. The Company manages its interest rate risk by originating and retaining adjustable rate loans in its portfolio and by normally selling currently originated fixed rate one-to-four family real estate loans. Loans classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2003 totaled $6.6 million. The Company retains the servicing on loans sold in the secondary market and, at September 30, 2003, $161.6 million of such loans were being serviced for others. The Company's investment strategy is to maintain a diversified portfolio of high quality investments that balances the goals of minimizing interest rate and credit risks while striving to maximize investment return and provide liquidity necessary to meet funding needs. The Company offers a range of maturities on its deposit products at competitive rates and monitors the maturities on an ongoing basis. The Company's cost of interest-bearing funds has declined from 3.80% for the year ended September 30, 2002 to 3.34% for the year ended September 30, 2003. The Company has experienced an increase in low interest cost demand and saving deposits and extended the maturities of its certificates of deposit to reduce its sensitivity to an increase in rates. The Company also benefited this year through the maturity of $20.4 million of fixed rate FHLB advances.

Assets used to satisfy these needs consist of cash, deposits with other financial institutions, overnight interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions and securities available for sale. These assets are commonly referred to as liquid assets. Liquid assets were $81.4 million as of September 30, 2003 compared to $81.7 million as of September 30, 2002. The sale of fixed rate loans throughout the year, along with the growth in deposits and the reduction of securities available for sale has provided sources of additional liquidity. Management believes the Company's liquidity level as of September 30, 2003 is sufficient to meet anticipated liquidity needs and the purchase of the new headquarters building previously mentioned in the Management Discussion and Analysis. 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, 2003, 2002 and 2001 follows. During the year ended September 30, 2003, net cash and cash equivalents increased $12.8 million from $27.6 million at September 30, 2002 to $40.4 million at September 30, 2003. The Company experienced a net increase in cash from operating activities of $14.6 million during the year primarily attributable to net income of $2.4 million, adjustments for the provision for loan losses of $1.1 million, and proceeds of $115.1 million realized from the sale of mortgage loans, offset by the origination of $103.6 million of loans held for sale. The Bank originates, sells and delivers its fixed rate, owner-occupied residential mortgage loans on either a "Best Efforts" delivery program basis or with FHLMC mandatory delivery programs. The "Best Efforts" program allows the Bank to commit loans for delivery to investors at prices that are determined prior to loan approval. In the event that loans are not closed and therefore not delivered, the Bank incurs no penalty. The strategy reduces interest rate risk exposure by minimizing the volume of loans closed and carried in the held for sale loan portfolio. Under the mandatory delivery programs, loans are committed to be delivered at predetermined prices and penalties could be assessed if delivery commitments are not met. Those loans held for sale originated at market that are not committed for delivery at time of origination are subject to market conditions at time of sale. Of the $6.6 million of loans held for sale at September 30, 2003, $3.2 million were FHLMC mandatory delivery originations, $2.3 were under the "Best Efforts" program and $1.1 were originated without predetermined scheduled delivery dates. The $7.3 million decrease in cash from investing activities for the year ended September 30, 2003 was primarily related to loan originations exceeding loan payments by $12.5 million, bank-owned life insurance purchases of $5.0 million, fixed asset purchases of $1.5 million and a $500,000 time deposit investment, offset by principal payments and maturities of securities exceeding security purchases by $12.2 million. Financing activities generated net cash of $5.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2003. The net cash was provided primarily from net deposit increases of $27.7 million, partially offset by decreases of $20.4 million in FHLB borrowings and $1.7 million used to repurchase the Company's common stock. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Interpretation 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees. On July 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement 149, amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and Statement 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equities. On October 1, 2003, the Company adopted Interpretation 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. Adoption of the new standards did not materially affect the Company's operating results or financial condition. IMPACT OF INFLATION The audited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 can be affected by inflation. However, they do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the indexes that measure inflation. In periods of rapidly changing 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. Although difficult to measure, an additional effect of inflation is the possible increase in the dollar value of the collateral securing loans made by the Bank.

AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001 24 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MFB Corp., and its wholly-owned subsidiary MFB Financial (the "Bank"), a federal stock savings bank, and the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Bank, Mishawaka Financial Services, Inc., MFB Investments I, Inc., MFB Investments II, Inc. and MFB Investments, LP (together referred to as "the Company"). Mishawaka Financial Services, Inc. is engaged in the sale of general property, casualty, life and health insurance to customers in the Bank's market area. MFB Investments I, Inc., MFB Investments II, Inc. and MFB Investments, LP are Nevada corporations and a Nevada limited partnership that manage a portion of the Bank's investment portfolio. 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, consumer and residential real estate loans in St. Joseph and Elkhart counties and the surrounding area. The Company operates primarily in the banking industry which accounts for more than 95% of its revenues, operating income and assets. Use of Estimates In Preparing Financial Statements: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 investments in limited partnerships, 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, the fair values of securities and other financial instruments and mortgage servicing rights 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. (Continued) 37 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 as other comprehensive income or loss and 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. Mortgage Banking Activities: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are reported as loans held for sale and 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. Loan servicing fees are recognized when received and the related costs are recognized when incurred. The Bank sells mortgages into the secondary market at market prices, which includes consideration for normal servicing fees. Servicing rights are recognized as assets for purchased rights and for the allocated value of retained servicing rights 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. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Any impairment of a grouping is reported as a valuation allowance. 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. 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. NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Because some loans may not be repaid in full, an allowance for loan losses is recorded. An allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. 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. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. 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. 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. Interest income on loans is accrued over the term of the loans based upon the principal outstanding. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. 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. NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Foreclosed Real Estate: Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are initially recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value at the date of acquisition, establishing a new cost basis. Any reduction to fair value from the carrying amount 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. 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. 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 is significantly less than the fair value. 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. 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. NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Investments in Limited Partnerships: Investments in limited partnerships represent the Company's investments in affordable housing projects for the primary purpose of available tax benefits. The Company is a limited partner in these investments and as such, the Company is not involved in the management or operation of such investments. These investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company records its share of the partnership's earnings or losses in its income statement and adjusts the carrying amount of the investments on the balance sheet. These investments are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amounts may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the investments are reported at discounted amounts. Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance: The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Company owned life insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value, or the amount that can be realized. Earnings Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is based on the net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share shows the dilutive effective of additional potential common shares issuable under stock option plans. 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 of 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. 2003 2002 2001 ---- ---- ---- Net income as reported $ 2,399,784 $ 648,537 $ 1,910,372 Less: Stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value based method 198,346 159,852 126,720 Proforma net income $2,201,438 $ 488,685 $ 1,783,652 Basic earnings per share as reported $ 1.87 $ 0.49 $ 1.42 Pro forma basic earnings per share 1.71 0.37 1.33 Diluted earnings per share as reported $ 1.80 $ 0.47 $ 1.38 Pro forma diluted earnings per share 1.65 0.36 1.29 The fair values for the options granted during the year were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions (no stock options were granted during the year ending September 30, 2001): 2003 2002 ---- ---- Risk-free interest rate 3.72% 4.83% Expected dividend rate 1.82 2.06 Stock price volatility 23.23 14.41 Estimated Life 8 yrs 8 yrs 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. Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes the net change in net unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of reclassification adjustments and tax effects, and is also recognized as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Segments: MFB Corp. and its subsidiary, MFB Financial and its subsidiary Mishawaka Financial Services, Inc. provide a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies in Mishawaka and the surrounding area. These services include demand, time and savings deposits; lending; insurance; trust and other financial services. While the Company's management monitors the revenue streams of the various Company products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis.

NOTE 8 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Employee Pension Plan: On April 1, 2003, the Bank terminated its qualified noncontributory multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The plan was administered by the trustees of the Financial Institutions Retirement Fund. There were no separate valuation of plan benefits nor segregation of plan assets specifically for the Bank because the plan was a multiple-employer plan and separate actuarial valuations are not made with respect to each employer nor are the plan assets so segregated. At termination, the Company made a contribution of $148,000 to the Fund as part of the termination agreement to cover the deficit between the vested benefits and the value of the Company's calculated portion of the total plan assets. Pension plan expense for the years ended September 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was approximately $148,000, $5,300 and $6,600, respectively. 401(k) Plan: The Company maintains a retirement savings 401(k) plan which covers all full time employees who are 21 or older and have completed one year of service. Participants may defer up to 15% of compensation, and the Company increased its match to 125% (90% for the year ending September 30, 2003) of elective deferrals on 6% of the participants' compensation effective October 1, 2003. Expense for the 401(k) plan for the years ended September 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was approximately $193,000, $150,000 and $122,000. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP): The Company maintains an ESOP for eligible employees. Employees with at least one year of employment and who have attained age twenty-one are eligible to participate. 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. 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. During the year ending September 30, 2003, an additional 5,250 shares were purchased by the ESOP and allocated to participants. The ESOP shares as of September 30 were as follows: 2003 2002 2001 ---- ---- ---- Allocated shares 152,750 147,500 147,500 Shares withdrawn from the plan by participants (24,274) (16,198) (16,198) --------------- -------------- --------------- Total ESOP shares held in the plan 128,476 131,302 131,302 ============== ============= =============== Stock Option Plans: The Board of Directors of the Company have adopted the MFB Corp. Stock Option Plans (the "Option Plans"). The number of options authorized under the Plans totals 450,000 shares of common stock. Officers, employees and outside directors of the Company and its subsidiary are eligible to participate in the Option Plans. 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, 2003, 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, 2003, 2002 and 2001. As of September 30, 2003, 94,500 options remain available for future grants.

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, 2003 and 2002. 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. Tax legislation passed in August 1996 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 with the tax year ending September 30, 1999. 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. 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, 2003 Total capital (to risk weighted assets) $ 36,346 12.41% $ 23,435 8.00% $ 29,294 10.00% Tier 1 (core) capital (to risk weighted assets) 33,268 11.36 11,718 4.00 17,576 6.00 Tier 1 (core) capital (to adjusted total assets) 33,268 7.77 17,116 4.00 21,395 5.00 As of September 30, 2002 Total capital (to risk weighted assets) $ 36,167 12.83% $ 22,553 8.00% $ 28,191 10.00% Tier 1 (core) capital (to risk weighted assets) 32,948 11.69 11,276 4.00 16,914 6.00 Tier 1 (core) capital (to adjusted total assets) 32,948 7.83 16,824 4.00 21,032 5.00 Regulations 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 retained net income for the calendar year-to-date plus retained net income for the previous two calendar years (less any dividends previously paid) as long as the Bank would remain "well-capitalized", following the proposed distribution. Accordingly, at October 1, 2003, $1,593,000 of the Bank's retained earnings was potentially available for distribution to the Company, without obtaining prior regulatory approval.

Mortgage loan fixed rate commitments are primarily for terms ranging from 15 to 30 years, while commercial loan fixed rate commitments are primarily for five year terms. The average rate on variable rate mortgage loan commitments is 4.47% and are tied to the one year treasury bill rate. Rates on variable commercial loan commitments are tied to the national prime rate. 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 executive officers, certain events leading to separation from the Company could result in cash payments totaling $1.27 million as of September 30, 2003. 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. NOTE 13 - SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN The Company has adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan and declared a dividend distribution at the rate of one Right for each share of common stock held of record as of the close of business on October 21, 1996, and for each share of common stock issued thereafter up to the Distribution Date (defined below) Each Right entitles holders of common stock to buy one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $46. The Right would be exercisable, and would detach from the common stock (the "Distribution Date") only if a person or group (i) were to acquire 12% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company; (ii) were to announce a tender or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in a person or group beneficially owning 30% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company; or (iii) were declared by the Board to be an Adverse Person (as defined in the Plan) if such person or group beneficially owns 10% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock in the Company. In the event of any occurrence triggering the Distribution Date, each Right may be exercised by the holder (other than such an acquiring person or group) to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (or, in certain circumstances, common stock of the acquiring person) at a 50% discount to market price. The Company is entitled to redeem the Rights at $.01 per Right at any time. The Rights will expire at the close of business on October 1, 2006.

The estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing time deposits in other financial institutions are considered to approximate cost. 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, 2003 and 2002 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, 2003 and 2002, 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, mortgage servicing rights, investment in limited partnership, noninterest bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW and MMDA deposits and advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance is based upon their carrying value. The estimated fair value for other time deposits as well as securities sold under agreements to repurchase, loans from correspondent banks and FHLB advances is based upon estimates of the rate the Company would pay on such deposits or borrowings at September 30, 2003 and 2002, 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. 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, 2003 and 2002, 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, 2003 and 2002 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. 52 NOTE 16 - OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) Other comprehensive income (loss) components and related taxes were as follows: 2003 2002 2001 ---- ---- ---- Net change in net unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale Unrealized gains (losses) arising during the year $ (324,551) $ (1,199,295) $ 1,594,005 Reclassification adjustment for (gains) losses included in net income (40,000) 933,958 51,570 --------------- -------------- --------------- Net change in net unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale (364,551) (265,337) 1,645,575 Tax expense (benefit) (92,519) (26,220) 684,100 --------------- -------------- --------------- Total other comprehensive income (loss) $ (272,032) $ (239,117) $ 961,475 =============== ============== =============== NOTE 17 - SELECTED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED) --------------Year Ended September 30, 2003-------------- ----------------------------- 1st 2nd 3rd* 4th (In thousands, except per share data) Quarter Quarter Quarter Quarter ------- ------- ------- ------- Interest income $ 6,039 $ 5,568 $ 5,597 $ 5,730 Interest expense 3,259 3,113 3,065 2,808 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Net interest income 2,780 2,455 2,532 2,922 Provision for loan losses 450 450 110 100 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Net interest income after provision for loan losses 2,330 2,005 2,422 2,822 Non-interest income 1,322 1,434 401* 1,870 Non-interest expense 2,583 2,878 2,975 3,099 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Income before income taxes 1,069 561 (152) 1,593 Income tax expense 308 91 (213) 485 ----------- ----------- ------------ ----------- Net income $ 761 $ 470 $ 61 $ 1,108 =========== =========== =========== =========== Basic earnings per common share $ .58 $ .37 $ .05 $ .87 =========== =========== =========== =========== Diluted earnings per common share $ .56 $ .36 $ .05 $ .83 =========== =========== =========== =========== * The significant decline in net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 is primarily due to a $704,000 mortgage servicing rights impairment charge.
