MFB Corp. and the Bank (collectively referred to as the "Company") conduct business from their corporate office located in Mishawaka, Indiana and its twelve branch locations in St. Joseph, Elkhart, and Hamilton Counties of Indiana. The Bank offers a variety of lending, deposit, trust and other financial services to its retail and business 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. MFBC Statutory Trust I is MFB Corp's wholly-owned trust preferred security subsidiary. 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, it is my pleasure to once again provide you with our Annual Report. The fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 has been an important period of progress for MFB. We have now been a resident in our new corporate headquarters for over a year. More importantly, we've had two significant new tenants join us this past summer and we expect that a third will do so in May, 2006. All are high profile and well respected firms that will enhance the image of MFB Plaza as the preeminent professional office property in our market and should generate significant revenue for the Company for years to come. We also opened a full service branch facility in the lobby of the Plaza in September, 2005. The assimilation of the Sobieski Bank acquisition has gone extremely well. Our new employees and customers are making notable contributions to the growth and prosperity of our organization and will continue to do so. The lease on one of the three offices acquired as part of this transaction expired in August, 2005 and was not renewed based on our ability to provide more comprehensive service at existing, nearby facilities. We also established a presence in the Indianapolis market this past year. This is an exciting new venture that is focused on providing private banking and asset management services to the dynamic and growing market in northern Indianapolis through a highly professional and knowledgeable group of banking specialists that bring significant local experience to MFB. We will monitor results of our efforts here closely as we establish new client relationships that have the potential to make considerable contributions to the profitability of our organization. The Company was well positioned to benefit from significant changes in short term interest rates this past year. Asset yields improved while the cost of funds was held in check, resulting in a 26 basis point improvement in our net interest spread from 2004 to 2005. Net income for the year improved to $2.5 million from $1.8 million last year even after recognizing a $626,000 after tax write-down of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and Federal National Mortgage Corporation securities held in our investment portfolio. This write-down was necessitated by an analysis that determined a decline in value of these securities was "other than temporary" by generally accepted accounting standards. These values have stabilized and in fact improved slightly since the write-down was recorded in December, 2004. Our company continued to grow this past year as well. Total assets at September 30, 2005 reached $554.9 million, a $13.7 million increase from the previous year. Total deposits grew over $16 million, with "core" deposits growing almost $23 million during the year. Our book value per common share outstanding was $28.52 at year-end, up from $27.02 a year ago. The Company increased the annual dividend rate for the ninth consecutive year to $0.495 per share. We look forward to the year ahead with energy and enthusiasm as we continue to strive to improve long term value for our shareholders. Charles J.

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, mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustments, service charges, fee income, gains from sales of loans, mortgage loan servicing fees, income from subsidiary activities, operating expenses and income taxes. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Certain of the Company's accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances that could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to; 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 available for sale and the valuation of mortgage servicing rights. Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs, less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance for loan losses balance required by evaluating current economic conditions, changes in character and size of the loan portfolio, delinquencies and adequacy of loan collateral securing loan delinquencies, historical and estimated charge offs and other pertinent information derived from a review of the loan portfolio. Allocations of the allowance for loan losses may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance for loan losses is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged-off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes the loan balance is uncollectible. A loan is impaired when the full payment of principal and interest is not expected to be paid in accordance with the original terms of the loan. Impairment is evaluated in total for small-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage and consumer loans, and on an individual loan basis for commercial loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated so that the loan is reported on a net basis at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Thus, changes in estimates of future cash flows or collateral values for individual loans could significantly impact the allowance for loan losses and provision expense. Fair Value of Securities Available for Sale: Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported separately in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The Company obtains market values from a third party on a monthly basis in order to adjust the securities to fair value. As a result of changes in the fair market value of the Company's available for sale securities portfolio, other comprehensive (loss), net of tax, totaled $481,000, $(326,000) and $(272,000) for 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. Additionally, securities available for sale are required to be written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not temporary; therefore, future changes in the fair value of securities could have a significant impact on the Company's operating results. In determining whether a market value decline is other than temporary, management considers the reason for the decline, the extent of the decline and the duration of the decline. Mortgage Servicing Rights: 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, determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows using market based assumptions. Any impairment of a grouping is reported as a valuation allowance. Changes in interest rates and the level of refinance activity can have volatile effects on the carrying value of servicing rights. The Company obtains an outside appraisal on a quarterly basis from a national firm who specializes in mortgage servicing valuation. This valuation is used to evaluate the Company's mortgage servicing rights asset for impairment. At September 30, 2005, mortgage servicing rights had a carrying value of $2.34 million. COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Consolidated net income for the Company for the year ended September 30, 2005 was $2.5 million or $1.81 diluted net income per common share compared to $1.8 million or $1.30 diluted net income per common share for the same period in 2004. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income partially offset by a decrease in noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expense. Net interest income totaled $14.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2005 compared to $11.7 million for the same period one year ago. Interest income increased $5.15 million and interest expense increased $2.19 million during the year ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Record low interest rates began to increase during mid-2004, and this was reflected in the Company's yield earned on interest-bearing assets compared to the prior year due to upward repricing of these instruments. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 20 basis points from 5.47% in 2004 to 5.67% in 2005. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, however, decreased six basis points from 2.94% to 2.88% during the same period, due mostly to a significant decrease in the cost of the Company's borrowings from the FHLB. As a result, the interest rate spread increased 26 basis points from 2.53% to 2.79% in 2005. 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 $800,000 for the year ended September 30, 2004 to $723,000 for the year ended September 30, 2005. Net charge-offs totaled $526,000 and $409,000 for the years ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 respectively. The Bank continues to enhance its loan review and risk assessment procedures giving particular attention to the risks related to the increasing commercial loan portfolio and the risk of loss for the $8.7 million of commercial loans classified as impaired at the end of this year. Impaired loans increased from $2.2 million last year in part due to the inclusion of two commercial loans with a deterioration of credit quality which is discussed further in the Balance Sheet comparison. Management of the Bank is continually monitoring these impaired loans for any changes necessary in the provision for loan losses. Noninterest income decreased from $5.7 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2004 to $5.0 million for the same period ended September 30, 2005. The decrease was predominantly the result of a write down of equity securities held by MFB Corp of $948,000 ($626,000 net of tax) discussed further in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements. The Company had losses on securities of $109,000 in fiscal year 2004. Most other categories of noninterest income did not change significantly; deposit account fees increased $261,000 and net gain on loan sales decreased $197,000 during 2005. Noninterest expense increased from $14.6 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2005 to $15.8 million for the twelve month period ending September 30, 2004. The largest increase was for salaries and employee benefits, which increased $498,000. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $321,000, of which $276,000 was related to the full year of operation of three branches acquired late in fiscal year 2004. Other expenses increased $438,000 primarily due to $462,000 increase in amortization of intangible assets recorded in the acquisition of Sobieski Bank in late 2004. Consulting fees, which had expected to rise with the implementation of Sarbanes/Oxley Section 404 regulations, actually decreased $198,000 as the Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the implementation of 404 regulations for non-accelerated filers. Income tax expense increased from $235,000 last year to $611,000 this year primarily due to increased net income before tax. Federal income tax expense increased from $229,000 to $511,000 and state income tax expense increased from $6,000 to $99,000. The overall effective income tax expense rate increased from 11.6% last year to 19.7% this year primarily due to maintaining a comparable level of low income housing income tax credits and non-taxable income on an increased amount of taxable income. COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Consolidated net income for the Company for the year ended September 30, 2004 was $1.8 million or $1.30 diluted net income per common share compared to $2.4 million or $1.80 diluted net income per common share for the same period in 2003. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to an increase in noninterest expense partially offset by an increase in net interest income, decreased provision for loan losses over last year and an increase in noninterest income. Net interest income totaled $11.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2004 compared to $11.1 million for the same period one year ago. Interest income decreased $534,000 and interest expense decreased $1.1 million during the year ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Although record low interest rates began to increase during the later half of the fiscal year, the Company experienced overall decreases in yield earned on interest-bearing assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities as compared to the prior year due to downward repricing of these instruments. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 28 basis points from 5.75% in 2003 to 5.47% in 2004. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 40 basis points from 3.34% to 2.94% during the same period, and as a result, the interest rate spread increased 12 basis points from 2.41% to 2.53% in 2004. 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 $1.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2003 to $800,000 for the year ended September 30, 2004. Net charge-offs totaled $1.1 million and $526,000 for the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2004 respectively. The Bank continued 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 $2.2 million of commercial loans classified as impaired at the end of fiscal 2004. Impaired loans declined from $4.0 million last year due to charge offs and payments on those loans. Noninterest income increased from $5.0 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2003 to $5.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2004. Service charges on deposit accounts, trust fee income and insurance commissions reflected strong growth from 2003 to 2004, offset by the decrease in net gains on loans sold to secondary markets. Loans sold to the secondary market decreased by 59.3% between 2003 and 2004. In addition to the items above, the increase in noninterest income was affected by two additional items, mortgage servicing right impairment and subsequent recoveries and net losses on securities. For the year ended September 30, 2004, the mortgage servicing rights valuation recovery was $217,000 compared to the impairment charge of $576,000 in 2003. The impairment and recovery on mortgage servicing rights is related to the decline and subsequent recovery in the market value of servicing rights associated with MFB Financial's $207 million mortgage loan servicing portfolio. The loss on securities for the year of $109,000 is the result of a write down of equity securities held by MFB Corp. based on current estimates of fair value. Noninterest expense increased from $11.9 million to $14.6 million for the comparable twelve month periods ending September 30. The significant growth in occupancy expense is related to the operation of three acquired branches, the opening of another branch and the expenses related to the acquisition of the new Corporate offices. Professional and consulting fees increased from 2003 due to two major projects and expenses related to the acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Sobieski Bank. Other expense increased from 2003 due to increases in advertising, telephone, postage, insurance and foreclosure expenses. Other expenses also increased from 2003 due to $97,000 of amortization expense on intangible assets recorded in the acquisition. Income tax expense declined from $671,000 in 2003 to $235,000 in 2004 primarily due to decreased net income before tax. Federal income tax expense declined from $552,000 to $229,000 and state income tax expense declined from $119,000 to $6,000. The overall effective income tax expense rate declined from 21.9% in 2003 to $11.6% in 2004 primarily due to maintaining a comparable level of low income housing income tax credits on a reduced amount of taxable income. BALANCE SHEET COMPOSITION Cash and cash equivalents increased $25.6 million from $28.6 million as of September 30, 2004 to $54.2 million as of September 30, 2005. Net cash from operating activities was $9.6 million in 2005 compared to $12.3 million net cash provided in 2004. The net cash provided from investing activities increased from a use of cash of $27.0 million in 2004 compared to a source of cash in 2005 of $2.2 million. The net cash from financing activities also increased from $3.0 million in 2004 to $13.8 million in 2005. The increase in cash is primarily the result of a new savings deposit product offering in the latter part of fiscal 2005. As of September 30, 2005, the total securities available for sale portfolio amounted to $63.6 million, a decrease of $2.4 million from $66.0 million at September 30, 2004. The securities portfolio activity included security purchases of $16.4 million, security maturities totaling $4.9 million and principal payments on mortgage-backed and related securities of $13.0 million. As of September 30, 2005, loans receivable were $390.7 million, a decrease of $9.2 million from $399.9 million as of September 30, 2004. Commercial loans outstanding decreased by $2.4 million from $160.2 million at September 30, 2004 to $157.8 million at September 30, 2005. Consumer loan receivables, which include home equity term loans and lines of credit, increased $1.9 million to $41.0 million while residential mortgage loans decreased $8.7 million from $200.7 million at September 30, 2004 to $192.0 million at September 30, 2005. 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, 2005, the Company completed secondary market mortgage loan sales totaling $38.5 million, and the net gains realized on these loan sales were $835,000, including $464,000 related to recording mortgage loan servicing rights. Loan sales last year were $46.8 million, and the net gains realized on these loans sales were $1.0 million, including $581,000 related to recording mortgage loan servicing rights. The loans sold during the year ended September 30, 2005 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 these loans will continue to be originated and retained in the Bank's portfolio. Also, as part of its efforts to manage the Company's current interest rate risk position, the Company originated and held in its portfolio $6.5 million of fixed rate mortgage loans originated during 2005, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.82%. At September 30, 2005, $407,000 of loans were classified as loans held for sale compared to $1.0 million at September 30, 2004. Mortgage loans serviced for others by the Company grew from $206.5 million last year to $208.9 million at the end of this year. The Company's allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2005 was $6.4 million or 1.63% of loans, comparable to the $6.1 million or 1.52% of loans at the end of last year. The ratio of nonperforming loans to loans was 0.68% at September 30, 2004 compared to 0.36% at September 30, 2005. 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 $723,000 to its allowance for loan losses during the year ended September 30, 2005 compared to $800,000 for the prior year ended September 30, 2004. Management's increased attention to and the Company's subsequent decrease in nonperforming loans was offset by an increase in Commercial Impaired Loans. During the year ended September 30, 2005 management noted several commercial loans with improved credit performance which was offset by two commercial loans with a deterioration of credit quality. Net charge offs deducted from the allowance for loan losses was $409,000 for the year ended September 30, 2005 compared to $526,000 for the prior year. In management's opinion, the Company's allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2005 and loan loss provision for the year is appropriate for the loan portfolio. Premises and equipment increased from $19.4 million at September 30, 2004 to $20.3 million at September 30, 2005 due to the remodeling of the corporate headquarters for new tenants and the opening of an additional branch on the first floor Atrium. The corporate headquarters consists of approximately 114,000 square feet with approximately 45% of the space utilized by the Company. At September 30, 2005 the Company had leased approximately 70% of the available tenant space. Presently, tenants occupy approximately 37,350 square feet under leases with various terms that run through the next 15 years. Another tenant has executed a lease to occupy approximately 6,500 square feet which will commence in May 2006. The location of the new headquarters building is expected to accelerate the growth, recognition and efficiency of the organization. Goodwill and other intangible assets totaling $5.15 million were recorded at the acquisition date as a result of the purchase of certain assets and liabilities of Sobieski Bank. These intangibles represent the difference between the purchase price and the value of the assets purchased and the value of the liabilities assumed. At September 30, 2005 the balance of goodwill was $2.42 million and the balance of the other intangible assets was $2.13 million. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at least annually and determined there was no impairment as of September 30, 2005. The other intangible assets included the identified value of the core deposits acquired and the value of customer relationships obtained in the acquisition. These two intangible assets are amortized to expense over a ten year period with approximately nine years remaining. Total deposits increased $16.5 million to $374.4 million as of September 30, 2005 from $357.9 million as of September 30, 2004. Core deposits consisting of demand, NOW, savings and MMDA accounts increased from $167.8 million to $190.7 million from September 30, 2004 to September 30, 2005. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances decreased from $133.4 million as of September 30, 2004 to $125.9 million as of September 30, 2005. Total shareholders' equity increased from $35.9 million as of September 30, 2004 to $38.7 million as of September 30, 2005. The increases to equity resulted from net income of $2.5 million and $481,000 in other comprehensive income and $454,000 generated from the exercise of stock options, offset by cash dividend payments of $664,000. The book value of MFB Corp. common stock, based on the actual number of shares outstanding, increased from $27.02 at September 30, 2004 to $28.52 at September 30, 2005. 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 10.60% as of September 30, 2005, an increase from 8.72% at September 30, 2004. The increase is primarily the result of the change in the mix of mortgage loans, cash, deposits, and FHLB advances. As referenced above in the Balance Sheet Composition section, an increase in cash was offset in part with a decrease in mortgage loans and an increase in MMDA deposits was offset in part with a decrease in FHLB advances. 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 September 30, 2005 and 2004, 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 200 basis points (due to the abnormally low interest rate environment at September 30, 2004, data was not available from the OTS for the shift downward in rates by 200 basis points). As illustrated in the September 30, 2005 table below, the Company's interest rate risk is sensitive to both rising and declining rates. The decline in NPV with a rate reduction is due to the change in value of fixed rate Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings that would occur. The decline in NPV with a rate increase is due to the relative volume of mortgage assets with fixed rate characteristics over the volume of liabilities with fixed rate characteristics.

Based upon the assumptions utilized, an immediate 200 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a $8.1 million or 13% decrease in the Company's NPV and would result in a 116 basis point decrease in the Company's NPV ratio to 9.44%. Also, an immediate 200 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in a $2.9 million or 5% decrease in the Company's NPV, and a 65 basis point decrease in the Company's NPV ratio to 9.95%. As illustrated in the September 30, 2004 table below, the Company's interest rate risk was sensitive to both a significant rise and a decline in rates for the same reasons as noted above.

Based upon the assumptions utilized, an immediate 200 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a $6.7 million or 14% decrease in the Company's NPV and would result in a 96 basis point decrease in the Company's NPV ratio to 7.76%. Also, an immediate 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in a $1.6 million or 3% decrease in the Company's NPV, and a 35 basis point decrease in the Company's NPV ratio to 8.37%. 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. Typically, the Company manages its interest rate risk by originating and retaining adjustable rate residential mortgage loans for its portfolio and selling currently originated fixed rate loans. Loans classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2005 totaled $407,000. The Company retains the servicing on loans sold in the secondary market and, at September 30, 2005, $208.9 million of such loans were being serviced for others. To further manage this risk, the Company's commercial loan portfolio consists predominantly of adjustable rate loans and fixed rate loans that reprice in five years or less. 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 2.94% for the year ended September 30, 2004 to 2.88% for the year ended September 30, 2005. The Company has also experienced an increase in the percentage of low interest cost demand and savings deposits to total deposits which reduces its sensitivity to an increase in rates.

Assets used to satisfy these needs consist of cash, deposits with other financial institutions, over night interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and securities available for sale. These assets are commonly referred to as liquid assets. Liquid assets were $119.3 million as of September 30, 2005 compared to $96.1 million as of September 30, 2004. The sale of fixed rate loans throughout the year, along with the growth in deposits and the maturity of securities available for sale has provided sources of additional liquidity. Management believes the Company's liquidity level as of September 30, 2005 is sufficient to meet anticipated liquidity needs. 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, 2005, 2004 and 2003 follows. During the year ended September 30, 2005, net cash and cash equivalents increased $25.6 million, from $28.6 million at September 30, 2004 to $54.2 million at year end. The Company experienced a net increase in cash from operating activities of $9.6 million during the year primarily attributable to net income of $2.5 million, adjustments for depreciation and amortization of $1.4 million, a write down of securities of $948,000, adjustments for the provision for loan losses of $723,000, and proceeds of $38.5 million realized from the sale of mortgage loans, offset by the origination of $32.3 million of loans held for sale, and a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $1.7 million. The Bank originates, sells and delivers its fixed rate, owner-occupied residential mortgage loans on either FHLMC "Best Efforts" delivery basis or with "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. This strategy reduces interest rate risk exposure by minimizing the amount of loans held for sale in the loan portfolio. Under mandatory delivery programs, loans are committed to be delivered at predetermined prices and penalties could be assessed if delivery commitments are not met. Loans determined to be held for sale at the time they are originated are not committed for delivery. These loans are subject to market price fluctuations at time of sale. Of the $407,300 of loans held for sale at September 30, 2005, none were under the "Best Efforts" program; all were originated without predetermined scheduled delivery. The $2.2 million increase in cash from investing activities for the year ended September 30, 2005 was primarily due to principal payments and maturities of securities of $17.9 million, offset by security purchases of $16.4 million and loan payments exceeding loan originations by $2.9 million. Financing activities generated net cash of $13.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2005. The net cash was provided primarily from a net increase in deposits of $17.2 million and $5.0 million from subordinated debentures, offset by net repayments of FHLB borrowings of $6.8 million. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS On October, 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." This standard requires companies to recognize in the income statement the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees based upon the vesting of such instruments. Based upon stock options that are currently outstanding, the Company has estimated that compensation expense for stock options will be approximately $58,000 for fiscal 2006. Should the Company grant additional stock options in future periods, the amount of compensation expense will increase. IMPACT OF INFLATION The audited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S 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 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, 2005, 2004 and 2003 (Continued) 25 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 U.S. 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 and other real estate owned, the value of mortgage servicing rights, the value of investments in limited partnerships, the value of stock options, the realization of deferred tax assets, the purchase accounting valuations for assets and liabilities acquired 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 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) 31 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Securities: 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 accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the Company's ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method based on amortized cost and are reflected in the 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. 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, determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Any impairment charge or recovery is reported in a valuation allowance by charges or credits 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. 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. 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, adverse situations that may affect the NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 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 an 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. 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. NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Useful life of buildings and improvements is 39 years and the range for furniture and equipment is 3 years to 15 years. These assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate the carrying amount is significantly less than the fair value. 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 14. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is assessed annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified. Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangible assets and acquired customer relationship intangible assets arising from the acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities previously discussed. They are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives. 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 fair value. Related tax credits are recognized as allocated to investors. 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 effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock option plans. NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 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. 2005 2004 2003 ---- ---- ---- Net income as reported $ 2,496,068 $ 1,789,649 $ 2,399,784 Less: Stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value based method 627,313 223,176 198,346 --------------- -------------- --------------- Proforma net income $ 1,868,755 $ 1,566,473 $ 2,201,438 =============== ============== =============== Basic earnings per share as reported $ 1.85 $ 1.36 $ 1.87 Pro forma basic earnings per share 1.39 1.19 1.71 Diluted earnings per share as reported $ 1.81 $ 1.30 $ 1.80 Pro forma diluted earnings per share 1.36 1.14 1.65 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: 2005 2004 2003 ---- ---- ---- Risk-free interest rate 4.23% 4.11% 3.72% Expected dividend rate 1.96 1.44 1.82 Stock price volatility 28.77 24.53 23.23 Estimated Life 8 yrs 8 yrs 8 yrs 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. On October, 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." This standard requires companies to recognize in the income statement the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees based upon the vesting of such instruments. Based upon stock options that are currently outstanding, the Company has estimated that compensation expense for stock options will be approximately $58,000 for fiscal 2006. Should the Company grant additional stock options in future periods, the amount of compensation expense will increase. NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 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. Accordingly, all of the Company's banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. Restriction on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with correspondent banks of $5.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively, was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at year end 2005 and 2004. Reclassifications: Some items in the prior consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.

Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Of the total gross unrealized losses of $1,185,000 at September 30, 2004, $875,000 related to the reduced value of $2.0 million of Fannie Mae ("FNMA") and $2.0 million of Freddie Mac ("FHLMC") floating rate preferred stocks. The declines in value were primarily attributed to the level of interest rates, and the timing of scheduled coupon adjustments. Such adjustments resulted in coupons being set at levels lower than current market rates. Credit issues were not considered to be a significant factor relative to the unrealized losses at September 30, 2004. Based on interest rate forecasts and the resulting estimates of recovery obtained by the Company from outside experts, management expected recovery of the unrealized losses as of September 30, 2004. NOTE 3 - SECURITIES (Continued) In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, management recorded a non-cash impairment charge through earnings of $948,000 for the decline in the value of the floating rate preferred stock securities discussed above. During the quarter ending December 31, 2004, a multi-billion dollar FNMA preferred stock issuance with a substantially different structure and higher yield than previous offerings had a detrimental effect on the fair value of the Company's FNMA and FHLMC preferred stock holdings. Additionally, a downgrade in rating on the FNMA security due to disclosed accounting issues, the duration of the suppressed market value on both the FNMA and FHLMC securities and the Company's inability to project when market value recovery would occur led management to record the write-down as of December 31, 2004. The unrealized losses on marketable equity securities decreased from $875,000 at September 30, 2004 to $32,000 at September 30, 2005 as a result of the non-cash impairment charge. Related to the unrealized losses for debt securities classified as corporate notes, $157,000 and $167,000 of unrealized losses at September 30, 2005 and 2004 were attributable to a trust preferred bond issued by a regional banking organization. These unrealized losses are primarily attributable to the low interest rate environment, and the variable interest rate structure of the bond. Such interest rate adjustments resulted in coupons being set at a level lower than current market rates. As interest rates rise and the bonds coupon rate increases, management anticipates recovery of the unrealized losses. Management has the ability to hold this bond to maturity, at which time the face value of the bond would be realized. Credit issues are not considered to be a significant factor relative to the current unrealized losses. Relative to unrealized losses on other debt securities as of September 30, 2005 and 2004, management has the intent and ability to hold the investments for the foreseeable future, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in market interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the investments approach maturity. NOTE 3 - SECURITIES (Continued) The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities by contractual maturity are shown below.

The allowance for loan losses allocation is based upon the discounted fair value of the underlying collateral as the loan relationship is considered to be collateral dependent. The actual loss on this loan relationship may vary significantly from the current estimate as the amount that would ultimately be realized in a collateral liquidation is difficult to estimate. The average balance of impaired loans in 2003 was $5,233,000 and there was $82,000 interest income and $66,000 cash-basis interest income recognized during impairment.

NOTE 8 - BORROWINGS (Continued) At September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $6.5 million from a correspondent bank. This variable rate line of credit, tied to the six month LIBOR rate plus 160 basis points (5.66% as of September 30, 2005), matures on February 27, 2006, at which time it may be converted to a term loan to be amortized over a five year period. The borrowing is collateralized by MFB Financial stock and requires the Bank to remain "well-capitalized" as defined by regulatory capital adequacy guidelines. NOTE 9 - SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES A trust, MFBC Statutory Trust I, formed by the Company issued $5,000,000 of trust preferred securities on July 29, 2005 as part of a private placement of such securities. The Company issued subordinated debentures to the trust in exchange for the proceeds of the offering; the debentures and related debt issuance costs represent the sole assets of the trust. The securities will mature in 30 years, will require quarterly distributions and will bear a fixed rate of interest of 6.22% per annum for the first five years, resetting quarterly thereafter at the prevailing three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.7% per annum. Interest on the securities is payable quarterly in arrears each September 15, December 15, March 15, and June 15 commencing September 15, 2005. The Company may redeem the trust preferred securities, in whole or in part, without penalty, on or after September 15, 2010, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events with the payment of a premium upon redemption, and the securities mature on September 15, 2035. NOTE 10 - 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. 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. There was no pension plan expense for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and pension plan expense was approximately $148,000 for fiscal year 2003. 401(k) Plan: The Company maintains a retirement savings 401(k) plan which covers all employees who are 21 years or older and have completed three months of service. Employees are eligible to receive contributions from the Company after one year of service. Participants may defer up to 75% of compensation and the Company will contribute an amount equal to 125% of elective deferrals on 6% of the participants' compensation elected to be deferred. Expense for the 401(k) plan for the years ended September 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $379,000, $315,000 and $193,000 respectively. NOTE 10 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (Continued) Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP): On July 1, 2004, the Bank merged the ESOP into the MFB Financial Employees' Savings and Profit Sharing Plan and Trust. In doing so, no new participants will enter into the ESOP. Those participants in the ESOP, as of July 1, 2004, will follow all provisions of the Plan prior to the merger date. Per the Plan, benefits generally become 100% vested after five (5) years of credited service. A participant who terminates employment for reason other than death, normal retirement (or early retirement), or disability prior to the completion of five (5) years of credited service does not receive any benefits under the ESOP portion of the combined Plan. Forfeitures are reallocated among the remaining participating employees.

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, 2005, 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, 2005, 2004 and 2003. As of September 30, 2005, 13,000 options remain available for future grants.

Accounting standards do not require a deferred tax liability to be recorded on this amount, which liability would NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES (Continued) otherwise total $1,563,000 at September 30, 2005 and 2004. 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 was to be recaptured was approximately $446,000 and was payable over a six year period beginning with the tax year ending September 30, 1999. The deferred tax liability was fully recaptured as of September 30, 2004. NOTE 12 - 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. NOTE 12 - REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued) 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, 2005 Total capital (to risk weighted assets) $ 40,588 11.11% $ 29,222 8.00% $ 36,528 10.00% Tier 1 (core) capital (to risk weighted assets) 38,015 10.23 14,611 4.00 21,917 6.00 Tier 1 (core) capital (to adjusted total assets) 38,015 6.93 22,180 4.00 27,422 5.00 As of September 30, 2004 Total capital (to risk weighted assets) $ 36,870 10.04% $ 29,368 8.00% $ 36,710 10.00% Tier 1 (core) capital (to risk weighted assets) 33,562 8.88 14,684 4.00 22,026 6.00 Tier 1 (core) capital (to adjusted total assets) 33,562 6.29 21,334 4.00 26,668 5.00 Regulations limit the dividends that may be paid by the Bank without prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Accordingly, at October 1, 2005, $4.06 million of the Bank's retained earnings was potentially available for distribution to the Company, without obtaining prior regulatory approval.

Commercial loan fixed rate commitments are primarily for five year terms with an average rate of 6.95%. The average rate on variable rate mortgage loan commitments is 6.60% 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, 2005. The Company and the Bank are subject to certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Another creditor of the $3.8 million impaired loan relationship discussed in Note 4 has filed a lawsuit against MFB seeking to recover $987,000 from MFB. The Company believes it has valid defenses and will vigorously contest this lawsuit. Based upon information currently available and consultation with legal counsel, the Company believes the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit is difficult to predict; therefore, no contingent liability has been recorded for this lawsuit at September 30, 2005. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of all other legal matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operation of the Company. NOTE 15 - 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). Currently each Right entitles holders of common stock to buy one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $46. In addition, each 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. NOTE 16 - BUSINESS COMBINATION On August 6, 2004, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Sobieski Bank, a savings and loan association with three locations in South Bend, Indiana. As a result of this acquisition, the Company expects to further solidify its market share in St. Joseph and Elkhart counties, expand its customer base to enhance deposit fee income, provide an opportunity to market additional products and services to new customers, and reduce operating costs through economies of scale. The transaction resulted in net cash paid to Sobieski Bank of $407,000 over the fair value of net assets acquired. As part of the transaction, $2.4 million in goodwill, $1.2 million in customer relationship intangibles and $1.6 million in core deposit intangibles were acquired. The intangible assets are being amortized over ten years, using an accelerated method. Goodwill is evaluated periodically for impairment. Goodwill and intangible assets will be deducted for tax purposes over 15 years using the straight line method. NOTE 16 - BUSINESS COMBINATION (Continued) The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

The pro forma information includes adjustments for interest income and loans and securities acquired, amortization of intangibles arising from the transaction, depreciation expense on property acquired, interest expense on deposits acquired, and the related income tax effects. The effects of certain transactions related to various fraudulent and otherwise unauthorized loan matters impacting Sobieski Bank's historical financial results were not included in the pro forma information below. However, other factors negatively impacting the historical financial results of Sobieski Bank have not been excluded from the pro forma information presented below.

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, 2005 and 2004 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, 2005 and 2004, 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 other investments, noninterest-bearing demand deposits and savings, NOW and MMDA deposits is based upon their carrying value. The estimated fair value for other time deposits as well as loans from correspondent banks, subordinated debentures and FHLB advances is based upon estimates of the rate the Company would pay on such deposits or borrowings at September 30, 2005 and 2004, 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. 57 NOTE 18 - FAIR VALUES 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, 2005 and 2004, 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, 2005 and 2004 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.
