Our cash dividend payout policy is continually reviewed by management and the Board of Directors. The Company intends to continue its policy of paying quarterly dividends; however, the payment will depend upon a number of factors, including capital requirements, regulatory limitations, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and the Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Company. The Company relies significantly upon such dividends originating from the Bank to accumulate earnings for payment of cash dividends to shareholders.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Introduction


MutualFirst Financial, Inc., a Maryland corporation, is a savings and loan holding company, which has as its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mutual Federal Savings Bank, Muncie, Indiana.  MFS Financial, Inc. was formed in September 1999 to become the holding company of Mutual Federal in connection with Mutual Federal's conversion from the mutual to stock form of organization on December 29, 1999.  In April 2000, MFS Financial, Inc. formally changed its corporate name to MutualFirst Financial, Inc. (“MutualFirst”).  The words “we,” “our” and “us” refer to MutualFirst and Mutual Federal on a consolidated basis, except that references to us prior to December 29, 1999 refer only to Mutual Federal.


Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those funds primarily in permanent loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one-to-four family residences, a variety of consumer loans, loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate and commercial business loans. We are headquartered in Muncie, Indiana with 17 retail offices primarily serving Delaware, Randolph, Kosciusko, and Grant counties in Indiana.  We also originate mortgage loans in contiguous counties, and we originate indirect consumer loans throughout Indiana.


The following discussion is intended to assist your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations.  The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements.


Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, which principally consist of loans and mortgage-backed and investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, which principally consist of deposits and borrowings.  Our results of operations also are affected by the level of our non-interest income and expenses and income tax expense.


Forward-Looking Statements


The discussion contains various forward-looking statements, which are based on assumptions and describe our future plans and strategies and our expectations.  These forward-looking statements are generally identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar words.  Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is uncertain.  Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, general economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality and composition of our loan and investment portfolios, demand for our loan products, deposit flows, our operating expenses, competition, demand for financial services in our market areas

NEXT PAGE

and accounting principles and guidelines.  These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and you should not rely too much on these statements.  We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.


Management Strategy


Our strategy is to operate as an independent, retail oriented financial institution dedicated to serving customers in our market areas.  Our commitment is to provide a broad range of products and services to meet the needs of our customers.  As part of this commitment, we are looking to increase our emphasis on commercial business products and services.  We have also created a fully interactive transactional website.  In addition, we are continually looking at cost-effective ways to expand our market area.


Financial highlights of our strategy include:


Continuing as a Diversified Lender.  We have been successful in diversifying our loan portfolio to reduce our reliance on any one type of loan.  From 1995 through 2000 approximately 36% of our loan portfolio consisted of loans other than one-to four- family real estate loans.  Since that time to the end of 2003, that percentage has increased to 45.1%


Continuing as a Leading One-to Four- Family Lender.  We are one of the largest originators of one-to four-family residential loans in our four-county market area.  During 2003, we originated $224.0 million of one- to four- family residential loans.


Continuing To Focus On Asset Quality.  Non-performing assets to total assets was .57% at December 31, 2003, an improvement from .89% at December 31, 2002.  We are confident that our underwriting standards will continue to provide for a quality loan portfolio.


Continuing Our Strong Capital Position.  As a result of our consistent profitability, we have historically maintained a strong capital position.  At December 31, 2003, our ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 11.8%.


Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk


Our Risk When Interest Rates Change.  The rates of interest we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally is established contractually for a period of time.  Market interest rates change over time.  Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities.  The risk associated with changes in interest rates and our ability to adapt to these changes is known as interest rate risk and is our most significant market risk.

NEXT PAGE


How We Measure Our Risk of Interest Rate Changes.  As part of our attempt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and comply with applicable regulations, we monitor our interest rate risk.  In monitoring interest rate risk, we continually analyze and manage assets and liabilities based on their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities, and their sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates.


In order to minimize the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged changes in interest rates on our results of operations, we adopted asset and liability management policies to better match the maturities and repricing terms of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  Mutual Federal's Board of Directors sets and recommends asset and liability policies, which are implemented by the asset and liability management committee.  The Asset and Liability Management Committee is chaired by the chief financial officer and is comprised of members of our senior management.  The purpose of the Asset and Liability Management Committee is to communicate, coordinate and control asset/liability management issues consistent with our business plan and board-approved policies.  This committee establishes and monitors the volume and mix of assets and funding sources taking into account relative costs and spreads, interest rate sensitivity and liquidity needs.  The objectives are to manage assets and funding sources consistent with liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk and profitability goals.  The Asset and Liability Management Committee generally meets monthly to review, among other things, economic conditions and interest rate outlook, current and projected liquidity needs and capital position, anticipated changes in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities and interest rate risk exposure limits versus current projections pursuant to a net present value of portfolio equity analysis and income simulations.  At each meeting, the Asset and Liability Management Committee recommends appropriate strategy changes based on this review.  The chief financial officer is responsible for reviewing and reporting on the effects of the policy implementations and strategies to the Board of Directors, at least quarterly.


In order to manage our assets and liabilities and achieve the desired liquidity, credit quality, interest rate risk, profitability and capital targets, we have sought to:


Originate and purchase adjustable rate mortgage loans and commercial business loans,


Originate shorter-term consumer loans,


Manage our deposits to establish stable deposit relationships,


Acquire longer-term borrowings at fixed rates, when appropriate, to offset the negative impact of longer-term fixed rate loans in our loan portfolio, and


Limit the percentage of long-term fixed-rate loans in our portfolio.


Depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the Asset and Liability Management Committee may increase our interest rate risk position somewhat in order to maintain our net interest margin.  We intend to increase our emphasis on the origination of relatively short-term and/or adjustable rate loans.  In addition, in an effort to avoid an increase in the percentage of

NEXT PAGE

long-term fixed-rate loans in our portfolio, in 2003, we sold $52.0 million of fixed-rate, one-to four- family, twenty to thirty year mortgage

loans in the secondary market.


     The Asset and Liability Management Committee regularly reviews interest rate risk by forecasting the impact of alternative interest rate environments on net interest income and market value of portfolio equity, which is defined as the net present value of an institution's existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments, and evaluating such impacts against the maximum potential changes in net interest income and market value of portfolio equity that are authorized by our board of directors.


 Mutual Federal employs a financial model that provides the following tables.  The tables present the change in our net portfolio value at December 31, 2003 and 2002 that would occur upon an immediate and sustained change in market interest rates of 100 to 300 basis points as required by the Office of Thrift Supervision, and do not give any effect to actions that management might take to counteract that change.  The changes in net portfolio value under all rate changes shown were within board of director-approved guidelines.

(1)   Not meaningful because some market rates would compute to a rate less than zero.

 Certain assumptions are input to the financial model in assessing the interest rate risk of savings associations.  These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the market value of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios, among others.


As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables.  For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates.  Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates.  Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset.  Further, if interest rates change, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the tables.


Financial Condition at December 31, 2003 Compared to December 31, 2002


General.  Our total assets increased $48.0 million during 2003, ending the year at $823.8 million compared to $775.8 million at December 31, 2002, primarily due to increases in loans.  Liabilities increased $47.2 million due to increased deposits and borrowings.  Stockholders' equity increased slightly to $97.5 million as net income of $8.1 million was partially offset by stock repurchases and dividends.


Loans.  Our net loan portfolio increased $62.9 million from $641.1 million at December 31, 2002, to $704.0 million at December 31, 2003.  Consumer loans increased $17.9 million or

NEXT PAGE

10.3% from $172.8 million at December 31, 2002 to $190.7 million at December 31, 2003.  Most of the consumer loan growth came from auto loans, which increased $7.5 million or 22.7% from $33.0 million to $40.5 million and recreational vehicles loans, which increased $5.5 million or 11.5% from $52.7 million to $58.2 million.  Commercial business loans increased $9.7 million or 28.0% from $34.7 million to $44.4 million at December 31, 2003. It has been our strategy to increase non-real estate mortgage loans as a percentage of our loan portfolio in order to mitigate interest rate risk and enhance the portfolio yield. Accordingly, we sold $52.0 million of our fixed rate one- to four- family mortgage loans in 2003. As a result, real estate mortgage loans increased $36.1 million or 8.1% (a lesser percentage than the aforementioned non-real estate mortgage loans) from $443.9 million to $480.0 million at December 31, 2003 and mortgage loans held for sale decreased $5.9 million.


Allowance For Loan Loss.  The allowance for loan loss increased to $6.8 million at December 31, 2003 from $6.3 million at December 31, 2002, an increase of $493,000 or 7.8%.  Net charge offs were $957,000 during 2003, as compared to net charge offs of $876,000 for 2002.  This, along with a $1.5 million loan loss provision during 2003, resulted in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans decreasing to .95% at December 31, 2003 compared to .97% at December 31, 2002.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 208.26% and 123.35% at December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.  Non-performing loans were $3.3 million or .46% of total loans at December 31, 2003 compared to $5.1 million or .79% at December 31, 2002.  The increase in the allowance for loan losses was due to continued poor economic conditions in some of our markets, the increase in the portfolio risk due to the increased percentage of consumer and commercial loans in the portfolio and the increases in loan balances.  


Securities.  Investment securities amounted to $33.5 million at December 31, 2003 compared to $42.4 million at December 31, 2002, a 21.0% decrease.  This decrease was primarily due to the use of funds from maturing securities to help fund loan growth.


Liabilities.  Our total liabilities increased $47.2 million or 6.9% to $726.3 million at December 31, 2003 from $679.1 million at December 31, 2002.  This increase was due primarily to an increase in deposits of $29.0 million, and an increase in borrowed funds of $18.8 million to provide funding for stock repurchases and to fund loan growth.  


Stockholders' Equity.  Stockholders' equity increased $803,000 from $96.7 million at December 31, 2002 to $97.5 million at December 31, 2003.  The increase was due primarily to net income of $8.1 million, Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) shares earned of $752,000 and RRP shares earned of $450,000.  These increases were partially offset by the repurchase of 326,378 shares of MutualFirst common stock at a cost of $7.2 million and dividend payments of $2.0 million.  Also, unrealized gain on securities available for sale decreased $231,000 from $464,000 at December 31, 2002 to $234,000 at December 31, 2003.

Comparison of Results of Operations for Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.


General.  Net income for the year ended December 31, 2003 decreased $418,000 or 4.9% to $8.1 million compared to $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Although net income decreased, diluted earnings per share increased 5.3% from $1.51 in 2002 to $1.59 in 2003 due to share repurchases in the open market.


Net Interest Income.  Interest income decreased $4.0 million, or 7.9% to $46.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $50.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.  Interest expense decreased $4.0 million, or 17.4% from $23.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $19.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.  As a result, net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2003 was flat at $27.3 million when compared to the previous year.  The average interest rate spread decreased slightly from 3.59% for the year ended December 31, 2002 to 3.56% for the year ended December 31, 2003.


Interest Income.  The decrease in interest income during the year ended December 31, 2003 was due to a reduction in the average yield on our earning assets from 7.09% in 2002 to 6.34% in 2003 as a result of lower market interest rates.  This decrease was partially offset by a $21.4 million increase in average earning assets from $711.4 million during 2002 to $732.2

million during 2003.  The majority of this increase was in average loans receivable, which increased $22.3 million from $662.2 in 2002 to $684.5 million in 2003.  The average yield on these loans decreased 63 basis points from 7.29% in 2002 to 6.56% in 2003.


Interest Expense.  The decrease in interest expense was due to a 72 basis point reduction in the cost of our average interest bearing liabilities from 3.50% in 2002 to 2.78% in 2003 as a result of lower market interest rates.  This decrease was partially offset by a $26.8 million increase in average interest bearing liabilities from $660.5 million in 2002 to $687.3 million in 2003.  The majority of this increase was in average deposits, which increased $17.7 million from $550.1 million in 2002 to $567.8 million in 2003.  The average cost on these deposits decreased 75 basis points from 3.16% in 2002 to 2.41% in 2003.


Provision for Loan Losses.  For the year ended December 31, 2003, the provision for loan losses amounted to $1.5 million compared to $1.7 million in 2002.  In each period, the provision for loan losses was based on an analysis of individual loans, prior and current year loss experience, overall growth in the portfolio, the change in the portfolio mix and current economic conditions in our markets.  While we continue to experience poor economic conditions in some of our markets and continue to change our portfolio mix to more non-mortgage related loans, the  overriding reasons for the decrease in the provision for loan losses in 2003 compared to 2002 were a reduction in non-performing loans and larger than anticipated recoveries of previously written off loans.


Other Income.  Other income for the year ended December 31, 2003 increased $27,000 from $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.  This increase was due primarily to a decrease in our equity in losses on limited partnerships, which own various low-income housing projects that provide federal income tax credits to its equity owners.  Our share of the losses was $323,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $517,000 the previous year.  Another factor affecting the change in other income was a $193,000 increase in service fee income.  Also, cash surrender values of life insurance improved $135,000 in 2003 compared to 2002. These changes were partially offset by a decrease in net servicing fees of $448,000 (including a $320,000 third quarter valuation reserve for mortgage servicing rights).


Other Expense.  Total operating expenses increased $766,000 or 3.9% from $19.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $20.5 million for 2003.  Salaries and employee benefits were $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $12.5 million for the 2002 period, an increase of $643,000 or 5.2%.  The changes in salaries and benefits included a $397,000 increase in health insurance premium costs, increased ESOP expense due to the increase in the market value of our stock, staffing increases in the lending area due to increased activity, and annual pay increases. Also adding to operating expenses for 2003 was a more aggressive marketing effort to promote loans and short term core deposits. The cost of this successful campaign increased advertising and promotion expense $185,000 in 2003 compared to 2002.


Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $3.3 million compared to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.  The decrease was

NEXT PAGE

due primarily to decreased taxable income partially offset by reduced tax credits on low income housing projects which expired in 2003. The effective tax rate increased from 28.5% to 29.3% when comparing 2002 and 2003, respectively.



Comparison of Results of Operations for Years Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.


General.  Net income for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased $400,000 or 4.9% to $8.5 million compared to $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.


Net Interest Income.  Interest income decreased $4.5 million, or 8.2% to $50.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $54.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.  Interest expense decreased $6.0 million, or 20.5% from $29.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $23.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.  As a result, net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased $1.5 million, or 5.7% compared to 2001.  The average interest rate spread increased from 3.22% for the year ended December 31, 2001 to 3.59% for the year ended December 31, 2002.


Interest Income.  The decrease in interest income during the year ended December 31, 2002 was due to a reduction in the average yield on our earning assets from 7.80% in 2001 to 7.09% in 2002 as a result of lower market interest rates.  This decrease was partially offset by a $6.9 million increase in average earning assets from $704.5 million during 2001 to $711.4 million during 2002.  The majority of this increase was in average loans receivable, which increased $5.6 million from $656.6 in 2001 to $662.2 million in 2002.  The average yield on these loans decreased 63 basis points from 7.92% in 2001 to 7.29% in 2002.


Interest Expense.  The decrease in interest expense was due to a 108 basis point reduction in the cost of our average interest bearing liabilities from 4.58% in 2001 to 3.50% in 2002 as a result of lower market interest rates.  This decrease was partially offset by a $24.9 million increase in average interest bearing liabilities from $635.5 million in 2001 to $660.5 million in 2002.  The majority of this increase was in average deposits, which increased $16.7 million from $533.4 million in 2001 to $550.1 million in 2002.  The average cost on these deposits decreased 121 basis points from 4.37% in 2001 to 3.16% in 2002.


Provision for Loan Losses.  For the year ended December 31, 2002, the provision for loan losses amounted to $1.7 million compared to $1.3 million in 2001.  In each period, the provision for loan losses was based on an analysis of individual loans, prior and current year loss experience, overall growth in the portfolio, the change in the portfolio mix and current economic conditions in our markets.  The reasons for the increase in the provision for loan losses in 2002 compared to 2001 were primarily due to continued poor economic conditions in some of our markets and a change in the loan portfolio mix with growth in the consumer and commercial loan portfolios and a reduction in the one-to four- family residential mortgage loan portfolio.


Other Income.  Other income for the year ended December 31, 2002 decreased $154,000 from $6.1 million the year ended December 31, 2001 to$5.9 million for the year-end December 31, 2002.  This decrease was due primarily to an increase in our equity in losses on limited

NEXT PAGE

partnerships, which own various low-income housing projects that provide federal income tax credits to its equity owners.  Our share of the losses was $517,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to $249,000 the previous year.  Another factor affecting the change in other income was a $159,000 increase in service fee income.  The increase in service fee income included a $117,000 increase or 24.5% in electronic transaction fees from $476,000 in 2001 to $593,000 in 2002.  This is indicative of the increased customer usage of ATM/Debit cards.


Other Expense.  Total operating expenses increased $181,000 from $19.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $19.7 million for 2002.  Salaries and employee benefits were $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to $12.3 million for the 2001 period, an increase of $166,000 or 1.35%.  The changes in salaries and benefits included a $357,000 increase in health insurance premium costs, increased ESOP expense due to the increase in the market value of our stock, staffing increases in the lending area due to increased activity, and annual pay increases.  These increases were partially offset by a $230,000 reduction in incentive bonus from 2001 to 2002, and a $619,000 reduction in Recognition and Retention Plan (RRP) cost from $1.4 million in 2001 to $768,000 in 2002.  Net occupancy expenses increased $131,000 due primarily to increased real estate taxes in 2002 compared to 2001.


Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $3.4 million compared to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.  The increase was due primarily to increased taxable income.



Liquidity and Commitments


Mutual Federal is required to maintain adequate levels of investments that qualify as liquid assets under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations to ensure the institution's safe and sound operations.  Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to the return on loans.  Historically, we have maintained liquid assets at levels above the minimum requirements imposed by Office of Thrift Supervision regulations and above levels believed to be adequate to meet the requirements of normal operations, including potential deposit outflows.  Cash flow projections are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that adequate liquidity is maintained.  At December 31, 2003, our liquidity ratio, which is our liquid assets as a percentage of net withdrawable savings deposits and current borrowings, was 7.93 %.


Our liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents and investment securities, is a product of our operating, investing and financing activities.  Our primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments and funds provided from operations.  While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.  In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.  We also generate cash through borrowings.  We utilize Federal Home Loan Bank

NEXT PAGE

advances to leverage our capital base and provide funds for our lending and investment activities, and to enhance out interest rate risk management.


Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management.  Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as overnight deposits or U.S. Agency securities.  We use our sources of funds primarily to meet our ongoing commitments, to pay maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals, to fund loan commitments and to maintain our portfolio of mortgage-backed securities and investment securities.  At December 31, 2003, the total approved loan origination commitments outstanding amounted to $24.7 million.  At the same date, the unadvanced portion of construction loans was $7.5 million.  At December 31, 2003, unused lines of credit totaled $39.6 million and outstanding letters of credit totaled $7.2 million.  As of December 31, 2003, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $224.6 million, and investment and mortgage-backed securities scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $12.2 million.  Based on historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with us.  We anticipate that we will continue to have sufficient funds, through deposits and borrowings, to meet our current commitments. The following table presents our contractual obligations (excluding deposit products).

Capital


Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, Mutual Federal actively strives to remain a “well capitalized” institution in accordance with regulatory standards.  Total stockholders' equity of MutualFirst Financial, Inc. was $97.5 million at December 31, 2003, or 11.8% of total assets on that date.  As of December 31, 2003, Mutual Federal exceeded all capital requirements of the Office of Thrift Supervision, with regulatory capital ratios as follows:  core capital, 11.32%; Tier I risk-based capital, 15.83%; and total risk-based capital, 16.97%.  The regulatory capital requirements to be considered well capitalized are 5.0%, 6.0% and 10.0%, respectively.


Impact of New Accounting Standards

NEXT PAGE


             In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  This statement clarifies reporting of contracts as either derivatives or hybrid instruments.  MutualFirst Financial, Inc. has determined that all derivatives or hybrid instruments covered under this statement have been properly reported under SFAS No. 149.


             In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”),  Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.  FIN 46 provides guidance with respect to variable interest entities and when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interest, and results of operations of a variable interest entity need to be included in a company's consolidated financial  statements.  A variable interest entity exists when either the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities by itself, or the equity investors lack one of three characteristics associated with owning a controlling financial interest.  Those characteristics are the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about an entity's activities through voting rights or similar rights, the obligation to absorb the expected losses of an entity if they occur, and the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur.


             FIN No. 46 was effective immediately for new entities that were created or acquired after January 31, 2003.  The effective date for entities in which MutualFirst Financial had a variable interest prior to February 1, 2003 was originally July 1, 2003 but the FASB delayed the effective date for these entities to December 15, 2003.


             In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, which provides guidance for transition from the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 to SFAS No. 123's fair value method of accounting, if a company so elects.  MutualFirst Financial applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for the stock option plan.  Accordingly, no compensation costs have been recognized, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.  Had compensation cost for MutualFirst Financial's stock option plan been recorded based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plan consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123,  net income and net income per share would have been adjusted to the proforma amounts indicated in Note 3.


             In November 2002, FASB Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”), Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others was issued.  FIN 45 requires the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued.  It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee.  The most significant FIN 45 instruments of the MutualFirst Financial are standby letters of credit.  MutualFirst Financial has determined that its standby letters of credit obligations under FIN 45 are not material for disclosure.



Critical Accounting Policies

NEXT PAGE


The notes to the consolidated financial statements contain a summary of Mutualfirst's significant accounting policies presented on pages -- to -- of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2003.  Certain of these policies are important to the portrayal of MutualFirst'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.  Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed assets, mortgage servicing rights and real estate held for development and the valuation of intangible assets.


The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions.  A worsening or protracted economic decline would increase the likelihood of additional losses due to credit and market risk and could create the need for additional loss reserves.


Allowance for Loan Losses


The allowance for loan losses is a significant estimate that can and does change based on management's assumptions about specific borrowers and current general economic and business conditions, among other factors.  Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on at least a quarterly basis.  The evaluation by management includes consideration of past loss experience, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, the current condition and amount of loans outstanding, identified problem loans and the probability of collecting all amounts due.


Foreclosed Assets


Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs.  Management estimates the fair value of the properties based on current appraisal information.  Fair value estimates are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment, market conditions, and real estate market.  A worsening or protracted economic decline would increase the likelihood of a decline in property values and could create the need to write down the properties through current operations.


Mortgage Servicing Rights


             Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) associated with loans originated and sold, where servicing is retained, are capitalized and included in other intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheet.  The value of the capitalized servicing rights represents the present value of the future servicing fees arising from the right to service loans in the portfolio.  Critical accounting policies for MSRs relate to the initial valuation and subsequent impairment tests.  The methodology used to determine the valuation of MSRs requires the development and use of a number of estimates, including anticipated principal amortization and prepayments of that principal balance.  Events that may significantly affect the estimates used are changes in interest rates, mortgage loan prepayment speeds and the payment performance of the underlying loans.

NEXT PAGE

The carrying value of the MSRs is periodically reviewed for impairment based on a determination of fair value.  For purposes of measuring impairment, the servicing rights are compared to a valuation prepared based on a discounted cash flow methodology, utilizing current prepayment speeds and discount rates.  Impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance and is recorded as amortization of intangible assets.




Intangible Assets


MutualFirst periodically assesses the impairment of its goodwill and the recoverability of its core deposit intangible.  Impairment is the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.  If actual external conditions and future operating results differ from MutualFirst's judgments, impairment and/or increased amortization charges may be necessary to reduce the carrying value of these assets to the appropriate value.  



Impact of Inflation


Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The principles require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.


Our primary assets and liabilities are monetary in nature.  As a result, interest rates affect our performance more than general levels of inflation.  Interest rates, however, do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation.  In a period of rapidly rising interest rates, the liquidity and maturity structure of our assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptance performance levels.


The principal effect of inflation, as distinct from levels of interest rates, on earnings is in the area of non-interest expense.  Expense items such as employee compensation, employee benefits and occupancy and equipment cost may increase because of inflation.  Inflation also may increase the dollar value of the collateral securing loans that we have made.  We are unable to determine the extent to which properties securing our loans have appreciated in dollar value due to inflation.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MutualFirst Financial, Inc. as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of MutualFirst Financial, Inc. as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

Note 1:     Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The accounting and reporting policies of MutualFirst Financial, Inc. (Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Mutual Federal Savings Bank (Bank) and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries, First MFSB Corporation and Third MFSB Corporation, conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reporting practices followed by the thrift industry. The more significant of the policies are described below.

The preparation of 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 and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company is a thrift holding company whose principal activity is the ownership of the Bank. The Bank operates under a federal thrift charter and provides full banking services. As a federally chartered thrift, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The Bank generates mortgage, consumer and commercial loans and receives deposits from customers located primarily in central Indiana. The Bank's loans are generally secured by specific items of collateral including real property, consumer assets and business assets. First MFSB sells various insurance products and Third MFSB offers tax-deferred annuities, mutual funds and equity securities.

Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, and the Bank's subsidiaries, after elimination of all material intercompany transactions.

Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Investment Securities - Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported separately in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax.

Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded using the interest method as interest income from securities. Realized gains and losses are recorded as net security gains (losses). Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined on the specific-identification method.

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market. Market is determined using the aggregate method. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income based on the difference between estimated sales proceeds and aggregate cost.

Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding. A loan is impaired when, based on current information or events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Payments with insignificant delays not exceeding 90 days are not considered impaired. Certain nonaccrual and substantially delinquent loans may be considered to be impaired. The Company considers its investment in one- to- four family residential loans and consumer loans to be homogeneous and therefore excluded from separate identification for evaluation of impairment. Interest income is accrued on the principal balances of loans. The accrual of interest on impaired and nonaccrual 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 when considered uncollectible. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received. Certain loan fees and direct costs are being deferred and amortized as an adjustment of yield on the loans over the contractual maturity of the loans.

Allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb loan losses based on management's continuing review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and its judgment as to the impact of economic conditions on the portfolio. The evaluation by management includes consideration of past loss experience, changes in the composition of the portfolio, the current condition and amount of loans outstanding, and the probability of collecting all amounts due. Impaired loans are measured by the present value of expected future cash flows, or the fair value of the collateral of the loan, if collateral dependent. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is charged against current period operating results. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. Management believes that as of December 31, 2003, the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on information currently available. A worsening or protracted economic decline in the areas within which the Bank operates would increase the likelihood of additional losses due to credit and market risks and could create the need for additional loss reserves.

Premises and equipment are carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based principally on the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from 3 to 50 years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses on dispositions are included in current operations.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock is a required investment for institutions that are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank system. The required investment in the common stock is based on a predetermined formula and is carried at cost.

Mortgage servicing rights on originated loans that have been sold are capitalized by allocating the total cost of the mortgage loans between the mortgage servicing rights and the loans based on their relative fair values. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing revenues. Impairment of mortgage servicing rights is based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on a current market interest rate. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights are stratified based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The predominant characteristic currently used for stratification is type of loan. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the capitalized mortgage servicing rights for a stratum exceed their fair values.

Investment in limited partnerships is recorded primarily on the equity method of accounting. Losses due to impairment are recorded when it is determined that the investment no longer has the ability to recover its carrying amount. The benefits of low income housing tax credits associated with the investment are accrued when earned.

Income tax in the consolidated statements of income includes deferred income tax provisions or benefits for all significant temporary differences in recognizing income and expenses for financial reporting and income tax purposes. The Company files consolidated income tax returns with the Bank.

Earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted-average common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each year. Unearned ESOP shares and RRP shares which have not vested have been excluded from the computation of average shares outstanding.

Reclassifications of certain amounts in the 2002 and 2001 consolidated financial statements have been made to conform to the 2003 presentation.

Stock Options are accounted for under the recognition and measurement principals of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock- based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation, to stock- based employee compensation.

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

Certain investments in debt and marketable equity securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2003, was $8,247,000, which is approximately 25 percent of the Company's available-for-sale-investment-portfolio. These declines primarily resulted from recent increases in market interest rates and failure of certain investments to maintain consistent credit quality ratings or meet projected earnings targets.
Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary.
Should the impairment of any of these securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other- than- temporary impairment is identified.
The following table shows our investments' gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at December 31, 2003:

Retained earnings include approximately $14,743,000 for which no deferred income tax liability has been recognized. This amount represents an allocation of income to bad debt deductions as of December 31, 1987 for tax purposes only. Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than tax bad debt losses or adjustments arising from carryback of net operating losses would create income for tax purposes only, which income would be subject to the then-current corporate income tax rate. The unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the above amounts was approximately $5,013,000.

Note 13:     Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In the normal course of business there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which are not included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company' s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making such commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

Financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk as of December 31 were as follows:

2003  
2002  
Loan commitments $72,419 $67,388
Standby letters of credit 7,165 7,039

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer' s credit worthiness on a case- by- case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management' s credit evaluation. Collateral held varies, but may include residential real estate, income- producing commercial properties, or other assets of the borrower.
 
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.
 
The Company and Bank are also subject to claims and lawsuits which arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.
 
Note 14:     Dividend and Capital Restrictions
 
The Company is not subject to any regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends to its stockholders.
 
Without prior approval, current regulations allow the Bank to pay dividends to the Company not exceeding retained net income for the current year plus the previous two calendar years.

Note 15:     Regulatory Capital
 
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies and is assigned to a capital category. The assigned capital category is largely determined by three ratios that are calculated according to the regulations: total risk adjusted capital, Tier 1 risk- based capital, and core leverage ratios. The ratios are intended to measure capital relative to assets and credit risk associated with those assets and off- balance sheet exposures of the entity. The capital category assigned to an entity can also be affected by qualitative judgments made by regulatory agencies about the risk inherent in the entity' s activities that are not part of the calculated ratios.
 
There are five capital categories defined in the regulations, ranging from well capitalized to critically undercapitalized. Classification of a bank in any of the undercapitalized categories can result in actions by regulators that could have a material effect on a bank' s operations. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized and met all subject capital adequacy requirements. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2003 that management believes have changed the Bank' s classification.
 
The Bank' s actual and required capital amounts and ratios are as follows:

Actual
Required for Adequate
Capital 1
To Be Well
Capitalized 1
Amount
Ratio

Total risk- based capital 1 (to risk- weighted assets) $99,636 17.0% $46,975 8.0% $58,719 10.0%

Note 16:     Employee Benefits
 
The Company has a retirement savings 401(k) plan in which substantially all employees may participate. The contributions are discretionary and determined annually. In 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company matched employees' contributions at the rate of 50 percent for the first $600 of participant contributions to the 401(k) and made a contribution to the profit- sharing plan of 3 percent of qualified compensation. The Company' s expense for the plan was $225,000, $297,000 and $253,000 for 2003, 2002 and 2001.
 
The Company has a supplemental retirement plan and deferred compensation arrangements for the benefit of certain officers. The Company also has deferred compensation arrangements with certain directors whereby, in lieu of currently receiving fees, the directors or their beneficiaries will be paid benefits for an established period following the director' s retirement or death. These arrangements are informally funded by life insurance contracts which have been purchased by the Company. The Company records a liability for these vested benefits based on the present value of future payments. The Company' s expense for the plan was $776,000, $695,000 and $689,000 for 2003, 2002 and 2001.
 
The Company has an ESOP covering substantially all of its employees. At December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company had 317,843; 349,626 and 381,395 unearned ESOP shares with a fair value of $7,981,000; $6,916,000 and $5,759,000. Shares are released to participants proportionately as ESOP debt is repaid. Dividends on allocated shares are recorded as dividends and charged to retained earnings. Dividends on unallocated shares are used to repay the loan. Compensation expense is recorded equal to the fair market value of the stock when contributions, which are determined annually by the Board of Directors of the Company and Bank, are made to the ESOP. Expense under the ESOP for 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $752,000, $585,000 and $464,000. The following table provides information on ESOP shares at December 31.

The Company has a Recognition and Retention Plan (RRP) for the award of up to 232,784 shares of the common stock of the Company to directors and executive officers. Common stock awarded under the RRP vests ratably over a three or five- year period commencing with the date of the grants. Expense recognized on the vested shares totaled approximately $450,000, $768,000 and $1,394,000 in 2003, 2002 and 2001. The unearned portion of these stock awards is presented as a reduction of stockholders' equity.

Note 17:     Stock Option Plan

Under the Company' s stock option plan, which is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, the Company grants selected executives and other key employees and directors incentive and non- qualified stock option awards which vest and become fully exercisable at the discretion of the stock option committee as the options are granted. The Company is authorized to grant options for up to 581,961 shares of the Company' s common stock. Under certain provisions of the plan, the number of shares available for grant may be increased without shareholder approval by the amount of shares surrendered as payment of the exercise price of the stock option and by the number of shares of common stock of the Company that could be repurchased by the Company using proceeds from the exercise of stock options. The exercise price of the options, which have a 10 to 15 year life, may not be less than the market price of the Company' s stock on the date of grant; therefore, no compensation expense will be recognized when the options are granted.

The following is a summary of the status of the Company' s stock option plan and changes in that plan for 2003, 2002 and 2001.

Note 19:     Fair Values of Financial Instruments
 
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates carrying value.
 
Investment and Mortgage- Backed Securities - Fair values are based on quoted market prices.
 
Loans Held For Sale - Fair values are based on quoted market prices.
 
Loans - The fair value for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
 
FHLB Stock - Fair value of FHLB stock is based on the price at which it may be resold to the FHLB.
 
Cash Value of Life Insurance - The fair value of life insurance values approximate carrying value.
 
Interest Receivable/Payable - The fair values of interest receivable/payable approximate carrying values.
 
Deposits - The fair values of noninterest- bearing, interest- bearing demand and savings accounts are equal to the amount payable on demand at the balance sheet date. Fair values for fixed- rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on such time deposits.
 
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances - The fair value of these borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation, based on current rates for similar debt for periods comparable to the remaining terms to maturity of these advances.
 
Notes Payable - The fair value of this note is estimated using a discount calculation based on current rates.
 
Advances by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance - The fair value approximates carrying value.
 
Off- Balance Sheet Commitments - Commitments include commitments to purchase and originate mortgage loans, commitments to sell mortgage loans, and standby letters of credit and are generally of a short- term nature. The fair values of such commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. The carrying amount of these investments are reasonable estimates of the fair value of these financial statements.
