                SELECTED HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA



The following tables set forth historical consolidated financial data for
MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital. Since MUTUALFIRST began operating as a savings
and loan holding company on December 29, 1999, historical information for
periods prior to that date is derived from the financial statements of Mutual
Federal.

We are providing the following information to aid you in your analysis of the
financial aspects of the merger. The tables show financial results actually
achieved by each of MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital (the "historical" figures).


MUTUALFIRST's annual historical figures are derived from financial statements
audited by Olive LLP, independent auditors of MUTUALFIRST. Marion Capital's
annual historical figures are derived from financial statements audited by Olive
LLP. The annual historical information presented below should be read together
with the consolidated audited financial statements and related notes of
MUTUALFIRST and of Marion Capital attached to this document. Information at June
30, 2000 and for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 is unaudited but,
in the opinion of management, includes all adjustments, comprising only normal
recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position
and results of operations as of and for these dates. The results of operations
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations for the entire year. To find this information, see "Where
You Can Find More Information" (page 150).


The combined company expects to achieve benefits from the merger including
operating cost savings and revenue enhancements. The pro forma earnings set
forth in this section do not reflect any potential cost savings or revenue
enhancements which are expected to result from the combination of operations of
MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital and, accordingly, may not be indicative of the
results of future operations. No assurances can be given with respect to the
ultimate level of cost savings or revenue enhancements to be realized. For that
reason, the pro forma combined information, while helpful in illustrating the
financial attributes of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does
not attempt to predict or suggest future results.

                DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This document contains forward-looking statements about MUTUALFIRST, Marion
Capital, and the combined company that we believe are within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward- looking
statements include information in this document regarding the financial
condition, results of operations and business of MUTUALFIRST following the
consummation of the merger. They also include statements relating to the
synergies, efficiencies, cost savings and funding advantages that are expected
to be realized from the merger and the expected impact of the merger on
MUTUALFIRST's financial performance and earnings estimates for the combined
company. Forward-looking statements are also identified by words such as
"believes," "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "plans" or similar
expressions.

Forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. You should
understand that the following important factors, in addition to those discussed
elsewhere in this document could affect the future results of MUTUALFIRST and
Marion Capital, and of MUTUALFIRST after the merger and could cause those
results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking
statements:

     o    expected cost savings from the merger may not be fully realized or may
          not be realized within the expected time frame;

     o    revenues following the merger may be lower than expected, or
          withdrawals of customer deposits, operating costs, customer loss and
          business disruption following the merger may be greater than expected;

     o    costs or difficulties related to the integration of the businesses of
          MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital may be greater than expected;

     o    changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins more than
          expected;

     o    general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, may be
          less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a
          deterioration in the credit quality of our loans;

     o    legislative or regulatory changes may adversely affect the business in
          which we are engaged;

     o    the willingness of users to substitute our products and services for
          competitors' products and services may be less than expected; and

     o    competitive pressure in the banking industry, and in particular our
          regional market, may increase.

                                   THE MERGER

THIS SUMMARY OF THE TERMS OF THE MERGER MAY NOT CONTAIN ALL THE INFORMATION THAT
IS IMPORTANT TO YOU. YOU SHOULD READ THE FULL TEXT OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT WHICH
IS ATTACHED AS APPENDIX A. THIS SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY
REFERENCE TO THE MERGER AGREEMENT.

OVERVIEW OF THE MERGER

Marion Capital will be merged into MUTUALFIRST, with MUTUALFIRST as the
surviving entity of the merger. Each outstanding share of Marion Capital common
stock will be converted into the right to receive 1.862 shares of MUTUALFIRST
common stock. After this merger, current MUTUALFIRST shareholders will own
approximately 70% of the combined company and current Marion Capital
shareholders will own the remainder.

MERGER CONSIDERATION

Each outstanding share of Marion Capital common stock will be converted into the
right to receive 1.862 shares of MUTUALFIRST common stock. No fractional shares
of MUTUALFIRST common stock will be issued in the merger. Instead of a
fractional share, you will receive the cash value (without interest) of the
fractional share, determined by multiplying the fractional share by the closing
price of MUTUALFIRST common stock on the last trading day before the merger.


On October 13, 2000,  MUTUALFIRST  common stock closed at $13.00 per share.
Based on that price, the value of 1.862 shares of MUTUALFIRST common stock would
have been  approximately  $24.21 and the  aggregate  market  value of the merger
consideration   would  have  been   approximately   $33.1  million,   excluding
outstanding stock options. These values,  however, may increase or decrease as a
result of fluctuations in the market price of MUTUALFIRST common stock.

Each  outstanding  option to purchase shares of Marion Capital common stock
will be  converted  into an option to  purchase  1.862  times as many  shares of
MUTUALFIRST common stock. The per share exercise price will be divided by 1.862,
but the other  terms and  conditions  of the  converted  option will not change.
Fractional  shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole share and per share
exercise  prices  will be rounded  down to the nearest  whole cent.  Options for
31,308 shares of Marion  Capital  common stock were  outstanding on October 13,
2000.


BACKGROUND OF THE MERGER

Over the last several years the financial services industry has become
increasingly competitive and has undergone industry-wide consolidation. The
market in which MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital operate has been affected by this
trend, experiencing a period of acquisition and consolidation that has affected
many of the banks and thrift institutions. In response to these developments,
the board of MUTUALFIRST and the board of Marion Capital has, on an ongoing
basis, considered strategic options for increasing shareholder value, including
potential acquisitions of other institutions.

On June 1, 1998, the Marion Capital board retained Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc.
to act as Marion Capital's financial advisor in connection with analyzing
operational issues and shareholder enhancement opportunities. Since June 1,
1998, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. has provided general advisory services to
Marion Capital including advice on the sale of a branch office, stock
repurchases and other strategic options including the analysis of merger and
acquisition opportunities.

Upon completion of MUTUALFIRST's conversion to a stock company in December 1999,
MUTUALFIRST began to analyze their expansion opportunities in conjunction with
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. who managed their mutual to stock conversion
process. Resulting from relationships with both companies and after analyzing
the business objectives of each company, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. arranged
a meeting between the two presidents, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Banks. The sequence of
events was as follows:


                                       13

<PAGE>



     On February 23, 2000, a meeting was held between Mr. Roberts, Mr. Banks and
     Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. to discuss the business philosophies of each
     company with a focus on the potential benefit that could arise from a
     strategic alliance of the two companies.

     On March 7, 2000, following discussions by each CEO with his respective
     board, a second meeting between Mr. Roberts, Mr. Banks and Keefe, Bruyette
     & Woods, Inc. occurred to begin more detailed discussions of the
     possibility of a strategic alliance between MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital.

     On April 12, 2000, the MUTUALFIRST board authorized retaining RP Financial,
     LC., to act as MUTUALFIRST's financial advisor in connection with the
     proposed merger of equals.


     On April 20, 2000, the Marion Capital board of directors met with Keefe,
     Bruyette & Woods, Inc. to review the benefits and opportunities provided by
     a potential strategic alliance between MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital.
     After consulting with its executive officers and financial advisors, the
     consensus of the Marion Capital board was to move ahead with the
     transaction. Also at this meeting, it was decided by the Marion Capital
     board to obtain a fairness opinion on the potential strategic alliance from
     David A. Noyes, as a result of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.'s previous
     relationship with MUTUALFIRST. Each financial advisor made an independent
     analysis of the proposal. See "-- Opinion of MUTUALFIRST's Financial
     Advisor" on page 16 and "- - Opinion of Marion Capital's Financial
     Advisor" on page 22.


     On April 21-24, 2000, representatives of both companies and their financial
     and legal advisors met to review due diligence information and to obtain a
     better understanding of the operations of the other company.

     On both May 10 and May 24, 2000, the board of MUTUALFIRST met and
     considered the terms of the proposed transaction. After consultation with
     its executive officers and financial advisors, the consensus of the
     MUTUALFIRST board each time was to move ahead with the transaction.

     During the period from April 21, 2000 to June 6, 2000, the parties
     negotiated the terms of the merger agreement and completed their respective
     due diligence efforts.

     On June 7, 2000, the boards of each company met with its respective
     financial advisors and special counsel to review the financial and legal
     arrangements of the definitive agreement. Each financial advisor issued its
     opinion that the merger was fair from a financial point of view to the
     merging company's shareholders. After careful consultation, each board
     authorized the execution of the merger agreement. Following the conclusion
     of the board meetings, MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital executed and
     delivered the merger agreement.

MUTUALFIRST'S REASONS FOR THE MERGER

MUTUALFIRST believes that the merger will:

     o    create a strong Northeast Indiana franchise with assets of
          approximately $760 million and a market capitalization of
          approximately $124 million, based on recent market prices;

     o    create opportunities for significant operational benefits and
          financial cost savings and revenue enhancements through the
          integration of MUTUALFIRST's and Marion Capital's operations;

     o    be immediately accretive to earnings per share estimated to be 2.5%,
          and significantly enhance the combined company's future earnings per
          share growth rate; the accretion to earnings per share incorporates
          the estimated cost savings from synergies as set forth below under
          "-MUTUALFIRST's Reasons for the Merger";

     o    expand its core market area and create critical mass in Northeast
          Indiana with a strong local presence;

     o    strengthen its competitive and capital position in the financial
          services industry, which is rapidly changing and growing more
          competitive; and

                                       14

<PAGE>



     o    provide an additional platform for further growth.

The MUTUALFIRST board has determined that the terms of the merger and the merger
agreement and the issuance of MUTUALFIRST common stock in connection with the
merger are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, MUTUALFIRST and
its shareholders. In reaching its determination, the MUTUALFIRST board
considered the opinion of its financial advisor with respect to the fairness of
the exchange ratio from a financial point of view. The MUTUALFIRST board also
considered a number of other factors, including that the merger should produce a
well capitalized institution with an enhanced retail lending franchise as well
as a number of financial benefits that should foster the potential for earnings
growth. The MUTUALFIRST board did not assign any specific or relative weights to
the factors considered, and individual directors may have given different
weights to different factors. The material factors considered were as follows:

     o    Information concerning the businesses, earnings, operations, financial
          condition, prospects, capital levels and asset quality of Marion
          Capital, individually and as combined with MUTUALFIRST.

     o    The opinion rendered by MUTUALFIRST's financial advisor that as of the
          date of the opinion the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial
          point of view, to the holders of MUTUALFIRST common stock. See "--
          Opinion of MUTUALFIRST's Financial Advisor" for the assumptions made
          in connection with, and limitations on, such opinion.

     o    The terms of the merger agreement, and the other documents executed in
          connection with the merger. See "The Merger."

     o    The anticipated cost savings available to the combined company as a
          result of the merger totaling approximately $1.2 million, consisting
          of savings in (1) salaries and benefits of approximately $473,000; (2)
          data processing expense of approximately $171,000; (3) annual
          depreciation costs of approximately $192,000; (4) elimination of
          goodwill expense of approximately $113,000; and (5) other operating
          expenses of $297,000. Some of these cost savings are based upon the
          cancellation and lump sum payment of certain employee benefit
          agreements currently in place at Marion Capital, which would require
          the consent of the participant to terminate. There is no guarantee
          that the consent of all relevant participants will be obtained, and to
          the extent some are not obtained, the cost savings may be reduced.

     o    The current and prospective economic, competitive and regulatory
          environment facing each institution and financial institutions
          generally.

     o    The results of the due diligence investigation conducted by the
          management of MUTUALFIRST, including assessment of credit policies,
          asset quality, interest rate risk, litigation and adequacy of loan
          loss reserves.

     o    The expectation that the merger would be tax-free to MUTUALFIRST and
          its shareholders for federal income tax purposes. See "-- Federal
          Income Tax Consequences of the Merger."

     o    The ability to continue to enhance shareholder value through stock
          repurchase programs since the merger will be accounted for as a
          purchase.

     o    The prospects for growth and expanded products and services, and other
          anticipated impacts on depositors, employees, customers and
          communities served by MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital, respectively.

     o    Additional revenue enhancement opportunities, including (1)
          incremental earnings potential through the ability to leverage excess
          capital; (2) diversified asset mix; and (3) expanded legal lending
          limit.

MUTUALFIRST'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS TO ITS SHAREHOLDERS THAT
THEY VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF
MUTUALFIRST COMMON STOCK IN THE MERGER.

MARION CAPITAL'S REASONS FOR THE MERGER

Marion Capital believes that the merger will be beneficial for the following
reasons:

     o    Marion Capital's knowledge of and familiarity with MUTUALFIRST's
          business, management, financial condition and asset quality, and the
          complimentary geographic location of its offices relative to the
          Marion Capital locations.

     o    The opportunity to become part of a $760 million northeast Indiana
          franchise with deposits of $520 million, and the ability to leverage
          off of this larger asset base in a broader geographic area,
          particularly given the concerns about growth opportunities in the
          Marion market.


     o    Elimination of the tax disincentive which prohibited Marion Capital
          from upstreaming  any  significant level of  dividends  from the bank
          to the holding company,  in order to reduce the level of excess
          capital and thereby  generate a return on equity that was acceptable
          to the board of directors and  shareholders over the long term.


     o    The opportunities for expense reductions, operating efficiencies and
          revenue enhancements in the combined entity including the belief that
          the merger will be accretive to earnings per share in the first year,
          estimated to be 24.7% per share for Marion Capital earnings per share,
          and improve the combined company's future earnings per share growth
          rate. The accretion to earnings per share incorporates estimated cost
          savings obtained from anticipated synergies as set forth above under
          "-MUTUALFIRST's Reasons for the Merger."

     o    The opinion rendered by David A. Noyes that as of that date and based
          on the assumptions made the exchange ratio was fair from a financial
          point of view to the Marion Capital shareholders.

     o    Considering the respective contributions to the combined entity,
          Marion would have a 30% pro forma ownership in the combined entity and
          receive a currency with significantly increased liquidity.

     o    The expectation that the merger would be a tax-free exchange for
          federal income tax purposes for Marion Capital shareholders as well as
          for Marion Capital.

     o    The non-financial terms of the agreement, including that Marion
          Capital would be represented on the MUTUALFIRST and Mutual Federal
          boards of directors with four of eleven seats and the role of the
          Marion Capital chief executive officer in the combined organization.

In reaching its determination to approve and deem advisable the merger
agreement, and the transactions contemplated therein, the Marion Capital board
did not assign any relative or specific weights to the various factors
considered by it, and individual directors may have given differing weights to
different factors.

MARION CAPITAL'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE HOLDERS OF
MARION CAPITAL COMMON STOCK VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT.

OPINION OF MUTUALFIRST'S FINANCIAL ADVISOR


The  MUTUALFIRST  board  retained  RP  Financial  on April  12,  2000 as an
independent financial advisor in connection with MUTUALFIRST's  consideration of
a  possible  business  combination  with  Marion  Capital,  which  included  the
negotiation of the financial terms and rendering its opinion with respect to the
exchange ratio from the financial point of view to the MUTUALFIRST shareholders.
In requesting RP Financial's  advice and opinion,  the MUTUALFIRST board did not
give any special instructions to RP Financial, nor did it impose any limitations
upon the scope of the  investigation  that RP Financial might wish to conduct to
enable it to give its opinion.  RP Financial  has delivered to  MUTUALFIRST  its
written opinion,  dated June 7, 2000, to the effect that, based upon and subject
to the matters set forth therein, as of the date thereof,  the exchange ratio is
fair to the MUTUALFIRST shareholders from a financial point of view. The opinion
of RP Financial is directed  towards the fairness of the exchange ratio and does
not constitute a


                                       16

<PAGE>



recommendation to any MUTUALFIRST  shareholder to vote in favor of approval
of the  merger  agreement.  A copy of the RP  Financial  opinion is set forth as
Exhibit B to this Joint Proxy Statement,  and MUTUALFIRST's  shareholders should
read it in its  entirety.  RP  Financial  has  consented  to the  inclusion  and
description of its written opinion in this Joint Proxy Statement.

RP Financial was selected by MUTUALFIRST to act as its financial advisor because
of RP Financial's expertise in the valuation of businesses and their securities
for a variety of purposes, including its expertise in connection with mergers
and acquisitions of savings and loan associations, savings banks, savings and
loan holding companies, commercial banks and bank holding companies. In
addition, RP Financial was already familiar with MUTUALFIRST given its
preparation of the appraisal and business plan in conjunction with Mutual
Federal Savings Bank's mutual to stock conversion in 1999. Pursuant to a letter
agreement dated April 6, 2000, and executed by MUTUALFIRST on April 12, 2000, RP
Financial estimates that it will receive from MUTUALFIRST total professional
fees of approximately $75,000, of which $45,000 has been paid to date, plus
reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses, for its services in connection
with the merger. In addition, MUTUALFIRST has agreed to indemnify and hold
harmless RP Financial, any affiliates of RP Financial, and the respective
directors, officers, agents and employees of RP Financial or their successors
and assigns who act for or on behalf of RP Financial from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, in connection
with RP Financial's services attributable to: (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the financial
statements or other information furnished or otherwise provided by MUTUALFIRST
to RP Financial, either orally or in writing; (ii) the omission or alleged
omission of a material fact from the financial statements or other information
furnished or otherwise made available by MUTUALFIRST to RP Financial, or (iii)
any action or omission to act by MUTUALFIRST, or MUTUALFIRST's respective
officers, directors, employees or agents, which action or omission is willful or
negligent. MUTUALFIRST will be under no obligation to indemnify RP Financial
hereunder if a court determines that RP Financial was negligent or acted in bad
faith with respect to any actions or omissions of RP Financial related to a
matter for which indemnification is sought. In addition, if RP Financial is
entitled to indemnification from MUTUALFIRST under the engagement letter, and in
connection therewith incurs legal expenses in defending any legal action
challenging the opinion of RP Financial where RP Financial is not negligent or
otherwise at fault or is found by a court of law to be not negligent or
otherwise at fault, MUTUALFIRST will indemnify RP Financial for all reasonable
expenses.


In rendering this fairness opinion, RP Financial reviewed the following
material: (1) the merger agreement, dated June 7, 2000, including exhibits; (2)
financial and other information for MUTUALFIRST, all with regard to balance and
off-balance sheet composition, profitability, interest rates, volumes,
maturities, trends, credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and
operations including: (a) audited and unaudited financial statements for the
periods ended December 31, 1996 through March 31, 2000, (b) stockholder,
regulatory and internal financial and other reports through March 31, 2000, (c)
the proxy statements since the commencement of the 1999 mutual-to-stock
conversion, (d) MUTUALFIRST's management and board comments regarding past and
current business, operations, financial condition, and future prospects, (e) the
stock conversion materials including the prospectus, regulatory application and
other related documents; and (3) financial and other information for Marion
Capital including: (a) unaudited and audited financial statements for the
periods ended June 30, 1995 through March 31, 2000, (b) stockholder, regulatory
and internal financial and other reports through March 31, 2000, (c) the annual
proxy statement for the last three years and (d) Marion Capital's management
comments regarding past and current business, operations, financial condition,
and future prospects.

RP Financial reviewed financial, operational, market area and stock price and
trading characteristics for MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital (on a historical and
pro forma basis) relative to publicly-traded savings institutions with
comparable resources, financial condition, earnings, operations and markets. RP
Financial also considered the economic and demographic characteristics in the
local market area, and the potential impact of the regulatory, legislative and
economic environments on operations for MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital and the
public perception of savings institutions and the commercial banking industry,
in general. RP Financial also considered: (1) the financial terms, financial and
operating condition and market area of other recently announced or completed
mergers of comparable savings institutions both regionally and nationally; (2)
projected financial statements incorporating future prospects for MUTUALFIRST on
a stand-alone and on a merged basis; (3) the future prospects for MUTUALFIRST;
(4) the pro forma impact on MUTUALFIRST of the merger with Marion Capital, which
is expected to be

                                       17

<PAGE>
accounted for as a purchase transaction; (5) the pro forma impact of potential
stock repurchases following the merger; and (6) the market for MUTUALFIRST's
common stock.

In rendering its opinion, RP Financial relied, without independent verification,
on the accuracy and completeness of the information concerning MUTUALFIRST and
Marion Capital furnished by each institution to RP Financial for review, as well
as publicly available information regarding other financial institutions, and
economic and demographic data. MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital did not restrict
RP Financial as to the material it was permitted to review. RP Financial did not
perform or obtain any independent appraisals or evaluations of the assets and
liabilities and potential and/or contingent liabilities of MUTUALFIRST or Marion
Capital.

RP Financial expresses no opinion on matters of a legal, regulatory, tax or
accounting nature or the ability of the merger as set forth in the merger
agreement to be consummated. In rendering its opinion, RP Financial assumed
that, in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory and governmental
approvals for the proposed merger, no restriction will be imposed on MUTUALFIRST
or Marion Capital that would have a material adverse effect on the ability of
the merger to be consummated as set forth in the merger agreement.


RP Financial's  opinion was based solely upon the information  available to
it and the economic,  market and other  circumstances as they existed as of June
7,  2000.   Events  occurring  after  that  date  could  materially  affect  the
assumptions  used in preparing  the opinion.  In connection  with  rendering its
opinion dated June 7, 2000, RP Financial  performed a variety of financial
analyses that are  summarized  below.  Although the  evaluation of the fairness,
from a  financial  point of  view,  of the  exchange  ratio  was to some  extent
subjective based on the experience and judgment of RP Financial,  and not merely
the result of mathematical  analyses of financial data, RP Financial  relied, in
part, on the financial  analyses  summarized  below in its  determinations.  The
preparation of a fairness  opinion is a complex  process and is not  necessarily
susceptible to partial analyses or summary  description.  RP Financial  believes
its analyses must be considered as a whole and that  selecting  portions of such
analyses and factors  considered by RP Financial  without  considering  all such
analyses and factors could create an incomplete  view of the process  underlying
RP  Financial's  opinion.  In its analyses,  RP Financial  took into account its
assessment  of  general  business,  market,  monetary,  financial  and  economic
conditions, industry performance and other matters, many of which are beyond the
control of MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital, as well as RP Financial's  experience
in  securities  valuation,  its  knowledge  of financial  institutions,  and its
experience in similar  transactions.  With respect to the  comparative  analyses
described below, no company utilized as a comparison is identical to MUTUALFIRST
or the merger and such analyses  necessarily involve complex  considerations and
judgments concerning the differences in financial and operating  characteristics
of the companies and other factors that could affect the values of the companies
concerned.  The  analyses  were  prepared  solely for  purposes of RP  Financial
providing its opinion as to the fairness of the exchange ratio,  and they do not
purport to be appraisals or necessarily  reflect the prices at which  businesses
or securities  actually may be sold.  Any estimates  contained in RP Financial's
analyses are not necessarily  indicative of future results of values,  which may
be  significantly  more or  less  favorable  than  such  estimates.  None of the
analyses  performed by RP Financial  was assigned a greater  significance  by RP
Financial than any other.


TRANSACTION OVERVIEW. RP Financial reviewed certain financial and other
characteristics of the transaction including, but not limited to, the exchange
ratio, the pro forma financial and pricing impact of the merger, which is
anticipated to be accounted for as a purchase, the pro forma ownership
distribution and the organizational structure of the merged company, including
the board of directors and executive management.

CONTRIBUTION ANALYSIS. RP Financial compared the relative contribution of
certain balance sheet items and earnings of MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital to
the pro forma company based both on historical and pro forma financial
information. Specifically, RP Financial examined the contribution of total
assets, loans receivable, deposits, stockholder's equity, tangible stockholder's
equity and earnings on a historical, normalized and projected basis. The
exchange ratio of 1.862 times falls within the range of implied exchange ratios
indicated by the contribution analysis of 1.38 times to 2.32 times.

PRO FORMA IMPACT ANALYSIS. RP Financial's analysis considered the financial
condition and operations of MUTUALFIRST on a stand-alone and pro forma merged
basis, which indicates that the merger is expected to have the following
benefits, even before the anticipated pro forma benefit of stock repurchases:
(1) increases MUTUALFIRST's pro forma earnings per share incorporating
anticipated synergies; (2) leverages MUTUALFIRST's tangible capital, which will
result in book value per share dilution; and (3) increases MUTUALFIRST's pro
forma return on equity. RP Financial considered the estimated pro forma impact
of the merger on MUTUALFIRST's key financial ratios, per share data, pro forma
pricing ratios relative to the current position. RP Financial also considered
the impact of the merger relative to MUTUALFIRST's longer run strategic
objectives.

Grant County, Indiana, and increased market capitalization.

PEER GROUP ANALYSES. RP Financial compared MUTUALFIRST's current and pro forma
key financial and pricing ratios to two groups of publicly-traded thrifts - all
publicly-traded thrifts based in the Midwest and all publicly-traded thrifts.
The pro forma key ratios analyzed for MUTUALFIRST incorporated the estimated
merger adjustments, purchase accounting and anticipated synergies. MUTUALFIRST's
pro forma ratios were evaluated before and after potential stock repurchases.
The key financial ratios analyzed for both MUTUALFIRST and the two groups of
publicly-traded thrifts included balance sheet composition and growth, income
statement composition and efficiency, return on equity, asset quality and loan
composition. The key pricing ratios analyzed included price relative to reported
and tangible book value, reported and core earnings and assets.

The merger is anticipated  to improve  MUTUALFIRST's  comparative  financial and
pricing data relative to the two groups of publicly-traded thrifts considered as
MUTUALFIRST's  balance sheet  composition and growth potential is enhanced,  pro
forma  profitability  and efficiency  increases,  return on equity rises,  asset
quality improves and the pricing ratios remain generally comparable.

COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS ANALYSIS. RP Financial compared the merger to other
recently announced comparable strategic in-market mergers among thrifts,
particularly those share exchange transactions in which the two institutions
collectively sought to merge for the mutual purposes of creating a stronger
franchise, creating opportunities for significant operational benefits and
financial cost savings, increasing earnings and earnings per share, expanding
the market area served and developing a platform for further growth and
diversification. RP Financial did not consider thrift mergers characterized as
sale of control transactions since the pricing and organizational
characteristics in such transactions are different than in strategic merger
situations. RP Financial evaluated the pro forma financial impact of such
strategic mergers, including the exchange ratio, pro forma ownership, earnings
and book value per share incorporating the merger adjustments and anticipated
synergies, certain key financial ratios and pricing. Specifically, the two
recent transactions meeting this criteria included: (1) First Place Financial
Corp.'s ($1.036 billion in assets) proposed merger with FFY Financial Corp.
($668 million in assets), both in Ohio; and (2) Hudson River Bancorp's ($1.149
billion in assets) proposed merger with Cohoes Bancorp ($704 million in assets),
both in New York. The merger will result in greater common stock ownership by
MUTUALFIRST shareholders, approximately 70%, relative to the larger thrifts in
the comparable transactions, 60% and 62% for First Place and Hudson River,
respectively, despite the payment of a higher premium to Marion Capital of 23%
relative to the pre-announcement trading price, versus the 5% and 13% trading
price premiums in the First Place and Hudson River mergers, respectively. The
tangible book value per share dilution falls between the 3% and 13% dilution in
the Hudson River and First Place mergers, respectively. Conversely, the earnings
per share and cash earnings per accretion for MUTUALFIRST, of 2% and 1%,
respectively, is anticipated to be lower than the 11% to 13% earnings per share
accretion and the 12% to 3% cash earnings per share accretion in the First Place
and Hudson River mergers, respectively. The estimated merger synergies of 5% of
the combined operating expenses in the merger compares to 13% and 7% synergies
estimates in the First Place and Hudson River mergers, respectively.

As  described  above,  RP  Financial's  opinion  and  presentation  to  the
MUTUALFIRST  board  was one of many  factors  taken  into  consideration  by the
MUTUALFIRST  board in making its  determination to approve the merger agreement.
Although  the  foregoing  summary  describes,  the  material  components  of the
analyses  presented by RP Financial to the MUTUALFIRST board on June 7, 2000, in
connection  with its  opinion  as of those  dates,  it does not  purport to be a
complete  description  of all the  analyses  performed  by RP  Financial  and is
qualified  by  reference  to the written  opinion of RP  Financial  set forth at
Appendix B, which MUTUALFIRST shareholders are urged to read in its entirety.

OPINION OF MARION CAPITAL'S FINANCIAL ADVISOR

The Marion Capital board of directors requested David A. Noyes' opinion as to
the fairness from a financial point of view to the Marion Capital shareholders
of the Exchange Ratio.

David A. Noyes, as part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged
in the valuation of commercial bank and thrift securities in connection with
mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings and valuations for estate,
corporate and other purposes. As specialists in the securities of commercial
banking and thrift organizations, Noyes has extensive experience in, and
knowledge of, the commercial banking and thrift industries and its participants.

In connection with its opinion, David A. Noyes reviewed, among other things, the
merger agreement, Annual Reports to Shareholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K
of Marion Capital for three years ended June 30, 1999; certain publicly
available information concerning MUTUALFIRST including the Annual Report of
MUTUALFIRST for the year ended December 31, 1999, along with interim Call
Reports, for each of the three years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997;
certain interim reports to shareholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of
Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST; certain other communications from Marion Capital
and MUTUALFIRST to their respective shareholders; and certain internal financial
analyses and forecasts of Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST prepared by their
respective management including forecasts of efficiencies from certain net cost
savings and revenue enhancements expected to be achieved as a result of the
merger. David A. Noyes also held discussions with members of the senior
management of Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST regarding the strategic rationale
for, and the potential benefits of, the transaction contemplated by the merger
agreement and the past and current business operations, financial condition and
future prospects of their respective companies. In addition, David A. Noyes
reviewed the reported price and trading activity for Marion Capital Common Stock
and MUTUALFIRST Common Stock, compared certain financial and stock market
information for Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST with similar information for
certain other companies in which securities are publicly traded. David A. Noyes
reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the
thrift industry and performed such other studies and analyses as it considered
appropriate.

David A. Noyes relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial
and other information reviewed by it and assumed such accuracy and completeness
for purposes of rendering this opinion. In that regard, David A. Noyes assumed,
with the Marion Capital board of directors' consent, that the financial
forecasts, including, without limitation, the efficiencies and projections
regarding under-performing and non-performing assets and net charge-offs had
been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available
judgments and estimates of Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST and that such
projections will be realized in the amounts and at the times contemplated
thereby. David A. Noyes is not an expert in the evaluation of loan and lease
portfolios for purposes of assessing the adequacy of the allowances for losses
with respect thereto and assumed, with the Marion Capital board of directors'
consent, that such allowances for each of Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST are in
the aggregate adequate to cover all such losses. Similarly, David A. Noyes
assumed, with the Marion Capital board of directors' consent and without
independent analysis, that the obligations of Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST
pursuant to derivatives, swaps, foreign exchange, financial instruments and
off-balance sheet lending-related financial instruments will not have an adverse
effect which would be relevant to its analysis. In addition, David A. Noyes did
not review individual credit files nor did it make an independent evaluation or
appraisal of the assets and liabilities of Marion Capital or MUTUALFIRST or any
of their subsidiaries, and it had not been furnished with any such evaluation or
appraisal. David A. Noyes' opinion as to the fairness of the Exchange Ratio
addressed the ownership position in MUTUALFIRST to be received by the Marion
Capital shareholders pursuant to the Exchange Ratio on the terms set forth in
the merger agreement and did not address the future trading or acquisition value
for the stock of MUTUALFIRST. In addition, David A. Noyes' opinion does not
address the relative merits of the merger and

                                       22

<PAGE>



alternative  business  strategies.  In that regard,  David A. Noyes was not
requested  to, and did not,  solicit  third  party  indications  of  interest in
acquiring all or part of Marion Capital or in engaging in a business combination
or any other  strategic  transaction  with Marion  Capital.  David A. Noyes also
assumed,  with the Marion Capital board of director's  consent,  that the merger
will be  accounted  for as a  "purchase"  under  generally  accepted  accounting
principles and that obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals and third party
consents for the merger or otherwise  will not have an adverse  effect on Marion
Capital or MUTUALFIRST pursuant to the merger.

David A. Noyes' advisory services and the opinion expressed by it were provided
for the information and assistance of the Marion Capital board of directors in
connection with its consideration of the transaction contemplated by the merger
agreement and such opinion did not constitute a recommendation as to how any
Marion Capital shareholder should vote with respect to such transaction.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL ANALYSES

The following is a brief summary of the material financial analyses considered
in a presentation to the Marion Capital board of directors on June 7, 2000 by
David A. Noyes in connection with its oral and written opinions as of such date:

          David A. Noyes analyzed the relative financial performance and stock
          market valuation of Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST by comparing
          certain financial and market trading information of Marion Capital and
          of MUTUALFIRST with the Noyes Peer Group. In addition, David A. Noyes
          analyzed the relative financial performance of the pro forma combined
          company by comparing certain financial information of the pro forma
          combined company with the Noyes Peer Group. Historical financial
          information used in connection with this analysis was as of, and for
          the twelve months ended, March 31, 2000. Market information used in
          this analysis was as of May 31, 2000.

          Among the financial information compared was (i) return on average
          assets, which was 1.17% for Marion Capital, 1.08% for MUTUALFIRST,
          1.20% for the pro forma combined company, and an average of .81% and a
          median of .80% for the Noyes Peer Group, (ii) return on average
          equity, which was 7.20% for Marion Capital, 6.07% for MUTUALFIRST,
          6.91% for the pro forma combined company, and an average of 8.25% and
          a median of 8.29% for the Noyes Peer Group, (iii) the ratio of market
          price to earnings per share for the latest twelve months, which was
          10.34x for Marion Capital, 10.77x for MUTUALFIRST, and an average of
          12.89x and a median of 11.23x for the Noyes Peer Group, (iv) market
          price to book value, which was 71.89% for Marion Capital, 64.69% for
          MUTUALFIRST, and an average of 92.85% and a median of 87.63% for the
          Noyes Peer Group, and (v) market price to tangible book value, which
          was 73.34% for Marion Capital, 65.63% for MUTUALFIRST, and an average
          of 95.27% and a median of 89.56% for the Noyes Peer Group.

     (b)  HISTORICAL EXCHANGE RATIO ANALYSIS. David A. Noyes reviewed the ratio
          of the closing prices per share of Marion Capital Common Stock to
          MUTUALFIRST Common Stock over various time periods since MUTUALFIRST
          common stock began trading on December 30, 1999. The analysis showed
          that such ratio ranged from 1.581x to 1.839x (with an average of
          1.698x and a median of 1.687x) throughout the period ending May 31,
          2000. The foregoing ratios can be compared to the Exchange Ratio of
          1.862 shares of MUTUALFIRST Common Stock for each share of Marion
          Capital Common Stock.

     (c)  CONTRIBUTION ANALYSIS. David A. Noyes analyzed the contribution of
          each of Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST to the market capitalization
          and certain balance sheet and income statement items for the pro forma
          combined company (before adjustments attributable to the merger). The
          contribution analysis was as of March 31, 2000 for balance sheet items
          and the implied exchange ratios were calculated on the basis of fully
          diluted shares outstanding for Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST as of
          March 31, 2000. The analysis produced relative contributions by Marion
          Capital to (i) the assets of the pro forma combined company of 26.7%
          implying an exchange ratio of 1.562x,and (ii) loans of the pro forma
          combined company of 26.9% implying an exchange ratio of 1.578x,and
          (iii) deposits of the pro forma combined company of 25.5%, implying an
          exchange ratio of 1.468x, and (iv) common equity of the pro forma
          combined company of 24.4%, implying an exchange ratio of 1.384x, and
          (v) tangible equity of the pro forma combined company of 24.3%,
          implying an exchange ratio of 1.377x. The analysis further produced
          relative contributions by Marion Capital to the net income available
          to common shareholders of the pro forma combined company of 28.0%,
          implying an exchange ratio of 1.668x. Furthermore, the market
          capitalization of Marion Capital represented a contribution of 26.4%
          of pro forma combined market capitalization, implying an exchange
          ratio of 1.539x (based on the May 31, 2000 market prices of Marion
          Capital Common Stock and MUTUALFIRST Common Stock). The foregoing
          analysis indicated a range of implied exchange ratios from 1.377x to
          1.668x, and a median implied exchange ratio of 1.539x. The Exchange
          Ratio in the merger is 1.862 shares of MUTUALFIRST Common Stock for
          each share of Marion Capital Common Stock, which will result in the
          Marion Capital Shareholders owning 30.3% of the MUTUALFIRST Common
          Stock.

     (d)  ANALYSIS OF OTHER SIMILAR TRANSACTIONS. David A. Noyes analyzed other
          similar transactions in the United States thrift industry announced
          during the period from 1998 to May 31, 2000 that it considered
          relevant. The similar transactions analyzed were: Fidelity Financial
          of Ohio / Glenway Financial Corp., First Place Financial Corp. / FFY
          Financial Corp., Hudson River Bancorp / Cohoes Bancorp Inc. This
          analysis indicated that the exchange ratio received by shareholders of
          a combining entity situated similarly to Marion Capital one day, one
          week and one month prior to the public announcement of the transaction
          represented a percentage above market value with a range of 4.8% to
          12.5%, (13.4%) to

                                       24

<PAGE>



          12.5%, and (1.1%) to 21.6%, respectively, and a median percentage
          above market value of 8.9%, 9.6%, and 8.3%, respectively. The Exchange
          Ratio received by the Marion Capital Shareholders one day, one week
          and one month prior to the public announcement of the merger
          represents a percentage above market value of Marion Capital Common
          Stock of 20.4%, 12.5%, and 10.6%, respectively.

     (e)  SUMMARY PRO FORMA ANALYSES. David A. Noyes analyzed the impact of the
          merger on certain profitability, capital adequacy and per share data
          for the twelve months ending March 31, 2000. This analysis was based
          upon internal estimates and assumed realization of expense savings,
          revenue enhancements, pre-tax restructuring charges, asset and deposit
          dispositions and other merger adjustments at the times and in the
          amounts projected by the management of Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST.
          This analysis showed that on a Marion Capital per share equivalent
          basis, the merger would have been accretive (i) with respect to fully
          diluted earnings per share (excluding non-recurring items and
          restructuring charge) by 24.7% and (ii) with respect to tangible book
          value per share by 24.7%. This analysis also showed (i) a return on
          average assets for the pro forma combined company (excluding non-
          recurring items and restructuring charge) of 1.20% compared to 1.17%
          for Marion Capital on a stand- alone basis, (ii) a return on average
          common equity for the pro forma combined company (excluding non-
          recurring items and restructuring charge) of 6.9% compared to 7.2% for
          Marion Capital on a stand-alone basis, and (iii) a ratio of total
          tangible common equity to total tangible assets for the pro forma
          combined company of 17.1% as compared to 15.6% for Marion Capital on a
          stand-alone basis.


The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of the
analyses performed by David A. Noyes, but describes the material analyses
performed thereby. In addition, David A. Noyes believes that its analyses must
be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of such analyses and the
factors considered by it, without considering all such analyses and factors,
could create an incomplete view of the process underlying the analyses and the
opinions. The preparation of a financial adviser's opinion is a complex process
involving subjective judgments and is not necessarily susceptible to partial
analyses or summary description. In its analyses, David A. Noyes also took into
account its assessment of general economic, market, and financial conditions and
its experience in similar transactions, as well as its experience in securities
valuation and its knowledge of the banking industry generally. With respect to
the comparative financial and market performance and other similar transactions
analyses summarized above, no public company utilized as a comparison is
identical to Marion Capital or MUTUALFIRST and such analyses necessarily involve
complex considerations and judgments concerning the differences in financial and
operating characteristics of the companies and other factors that could affect
the acquisition or public trading values of the companies concerned. Any
estimates contained in David A. Noyes' analyses are not necessarily indicative
of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable
than such estimates. Estimates of values of companies do not purport to be
appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or its
securities actually may be sold. None of the analyses performed by David A.
Noyes were assigned a greater significance by David A. Noyes than any other.

The forecasts and projections reviewed by David A. Noyes in connection with the
rendering of its respective opinions were prepared by the respective management
of Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST. Neither Marion Capital nor MUTUALFIRST
publicly discloses internal management projections of the type provided to David
A. Noyes in connection with the preparation of its opinions. Such forecasts and
projections were not prepared with a view towards public disclosure. In
addition, such forecasts and projections were based on numerous variables and
assumptions that are inherently uncertain, including, without limitation,
factors related to general economic and competitive conditions. Accordingly,
actual results could vary significantly from those contemplated by such
projections. David A. Noyes has assumed no responsibility for the accuracy of
such information.

Marion Capital has entered into an agreement with David A. Noyes relating to the
financial advisory services being provided by David A. Noyes in connection with
the merger. In such agreement, Marion Capital has agreed to pay David A. Noyes
(a) an initial fee of $17,500, payable upon execution of such agreement (which
has been paid) and (b) a fee of $8,750, payable upon delivery of its preliminary
fairness opinion at the time of signing the definitive agreement (which has been
paid) and (c) a fee of $8,750, payable upon delivery of its fairness opinion and
description for inclusion in the proxy statement related to this transaction.
Marion Capital also has agreed to reimburse David A. Noyes for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its engagement. Marion
Capital has also agreed to indemnify and hold harmless David A. Noyes, its
officers, directors, employees

                                       25

and agents against all claims, losses, actions, judgements, damages or expenses,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable
attorneys' fees, costs and experts' expenses, arising from or relating to the
advice and recommendations given and/or the services performed pursuant to this
agreement.

Notwithstanding anything set forth above, David A. Noyes shall have no right to
be indemnified or held harmless by Marion Capital, and Marion Capital shall have
no duty to indemnify or hold harmless David A. Noyes, pursuant to the terms of
this agreement if a court having competent jurisdiction shall determine by a
final judgement that the claim, loss, action, judgment, damage, expense, or
liability resulted from the negligence, malfeasance, or recklessness of David A.
Noyes.

ACCOUNTING AND TAX TREATMENT

This summary of the federal income tax consequences of the merger may not
contain all the information that is important to you. It is not a complete
analysis or listing of all potential tax effects of the merger agreement; it
does not address tax consequences to persons subject to special treatment under
tax laws (such as dealers in securities, banks, insurance companies, tax-exempt
organizations, non-United States persons and shareholders who acquired their
shares as compensation); and it does not address the tax laws of any state,
local or foreign jurisdiction. It is based upon the Internal Revenue Code,
treasury regulations and administrative rulings and court decisions as of the
date of this document, all of which are subject to change. Marion Capital
shareholders should consult their tax advisors as to the particular effect of
their own particular facts and circumstances on the federal income tax
consequences of the merger to them, and also as to the effect of any state,
local, foreign and other federal tax laws.

The merger will be treated as a purchase under generally accepted accounting
principles. Under current federal income tax law, based upon assumptions and
representations made by MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital, and assuming that the
merger is consummated in the manner set forth in the merger agreement, it is
anticipated that the following federal income tax consequences would result:

     o    the merger will qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of
          the Internal Revenue Code;

     o    no gain or loss will be recognized by MUTUALFIRST or Marion Capital as
          a result of the merger;

     o    no gain or loss will be recognized by any Marion Capital shareholder
          upon the exchange of Marion Capital common stock solely for
          MUTUALFIRST common stock in the merger;

     o    the aggregate tax basis of MUTUALFIRST common stock received will be
          the same as the basis of the Marion Capital common stock surrendered
          in exchange (subject to any adjustments required as the result of
          receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share interest in MUTUALFIRST
          common stock);

     o    the holding period of the shares of MUTUALFIRST common stock received
          will include the holding period of the Marion Capital common stock
          surrendered in exchange, provided that the surrendered shares of
          Marion Capital common stock were held as a capital asset at the time
          of the merger; and

     o    cash received in the merger in lieu of a fractional share interest
          will be treated as having been received as a distribution in full
          payment in exchange for the fractional share interest, and will
          qualify as capital gain or loss (assuming the Marion Capital common
          stock surrendered in exchange was held as a capital asset by the
          shareholder at the time of the merger).

CORPORATE STRUCTURE AFTER THE MERGER

The merger will combine MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital into a single company
under the name "MUTUALFIRST Financial, Inc."  We also plan to merge Marion
Capital's savings bank subsidiary into MUTUALFIRST's savings bank subsidiary.

MUTUALFIRST has also agreed, as part of the merger agreement, to add four of
Marion Capital's directors to the MUTUALFIRST and Mutual Federal boards of
directors immediately upon completion of the merger.

REGULATORY MATTERS

MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital are subject to regulation and supervision by
the Office of Thrift Supervision as savings and loan holding  companies.  Mutual
Federal Savings Bank and First Federal Savings Bank of Marion are both federally
chartered  savings banks  regulated by the Office of Thrift  Supervision and the
Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation.  The merger of Marion  Capital and its
subsidiary  bank  with and into  MUTUALFIRST  and its  subsidiary  bank  must be
approved by the Office of Thrift  Supervision.  An application for this approval
has been  filed  and the  merger  has been  approved  by the  Office  of  Thrift
Supervision.

Federal law  prohibits  a merger if it would  result in a monopoly or be in
furtherance  of any  combination  or  conspiracy  to monopolize or to attempt to
monopolize the business of banking in any part of the United  States,  or if its
effect in any section of the country may be substantially to lessen  competition
or to tend to create a monopoly,  or if it would in any other manner result in a
restraint of trade, unless the  anti-competitive  effects of the proposed merger
are clearly  outweighed  in the public  interest by the  probable  effect of the
transaction  in  meeting  the  convenience  and needs of the  communities  to be
served.

The subsidiary bank merger may not be consummated for a period of 30 days after
receipt of the final approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision, unless no
adverse comment has been received from the Department of Justice, in which case
the merger may be consummated on or after the 15th day after such final
approval.

OBLIGATIONS OF MUTUALFIRST AFTER THE MERGER

If the merger is completed:

     o    MUTUALFIRST must indemnify former officers, directors and employees of
          Marion Capital and its subsidiaries for a period of six years.

     o    MUTUALFIRST must provide employment benefits to persons who were
          employees of Marion Capital or its subsidiaries immediately prior to
          the merger.

     o    MUTUALFIRST must honor all existing plans and agreements between
          Marion Capital and its directors, officers and employees, except to
          the extent modified by the merger agreement.


You can find the details of these obligations in Sections 6.12 and 6.13 of
Appendix A. See also "The Merger -- Interests of Directors and Officers in the
Merger that are Different from Your Interests" on page 28.


WHAT WE MUST DO TO COMPLETE THE MERGER

To complete the merger we must:

     o    Obtain approvals from the shareholders of both companies.

     o    Obtain regulatory approval, without burdensome conditions, from the
          Office of Thrift Supervision (which has been received).

     o    Notify Nasdaq Stock Market of the listing of MUTUALFIRST shares to be
          issued in the merger.

     o    Avoid any material adverse effect on either of our companies.

     o    Avoid any breach of our representations and warranties.

     o    Fulfill our obligations under the merger agreement.

     o    Exchange customary documents at closing.

                                       27

<PAGE>

You can find details of the conditions to the merger in Article VII of Appendix
A. We cannot guarantee that all of these conditions will be satisfied or waived.

INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS IN THE MERGER THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM YOUR
INTERESTS


In considering the recommendation of the board of directors of Marion Capital to
vote for the proposal to approve the merger agreement, shareholders of Marion
Capital should be aware that members of Marion Capital's management and the
Marion Capital board of directors may have interests in the merger that are in
addition to, or different from the interests of Marion Capital shareholders. The
Marion Capital board of directors was aware of these interests and considered
them in approving the merger agreement.  In addition, we anticipate that if the
MUTUALFIRST shareholders ratify the adoption of the 2000 Stock Option and
Incentive Plan and the 2000 Recognition and Retention Plan, that Mr. Banks, Mr.
Dalton, Mr. Marler and Mr. McVicker may be granted additional stock options, and
that Mr. Banks may receive an award of restricted stock.  However, these awards
were not part of the negotiated merger agreement.  See "Awards Under the Stock
Option Plan" on page 52, and "Awards Under the Recognition and Retention Plan"
see pages 55-56.


BOARD AND MANAGEMENT POSITIONS. Following the completion of the merger,
MUTUALFIRST and Mutual Federal Savings Bank will each increase their respective
boards to 11 members, of which four members will be from Marion Capital. These
directors will receive the customary board fees and retainers.

The merger agreement also provides, upon completion of the merger that Steven L.
Banks, Chief Executive Officer of Marion Capital, will serve as a Senior Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer - Marion Region of Mutual Federal Savings
Bank, and that Larry G. Phillips, Senior Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer
of Marion Capital will serve as Vice President of Mutual Federal Savings Bank.

EXISTING AND NEW EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS. As a consequence of the proposed change
in control of Marion Capital contemplated by the merger agreement, Mr. Banks is
entitled to receive certain payments from Marion Capital in connection with the
merger as a result of an employment agreement between Mr. Banks and Marion
Capital and First Federal Savings Bank of Marion dated January 19, 2000.


It has been agreed that this employment agreement will be terminated upon
completion of the merger. In consideration of this termination, Mr. Banks will
be paid an amount equal to the lesser of : (i) the amount payable to him under
the employment agreement if he was terminated following a "change in control,"
as defined in the employment agreement; or (ii) 299% of Mr. Banks' base amount
of compensation as determined under Section 280(G) of the Internal Revenue Code,
as amended, less the value of any other payments that are deemed "parachute
payments" under Section 280(G). It is anticipated that Mr. Banks will receive a
lump sum cash payment of approximately $493,294 upon termination of this
agreement.


Mr. Banks will also enter into a new employment agreement substantially similar
to his existing employment agreement with Mutual Federal Savings Bank,
guaranteed by MUTUALFIRST providing for Mr. Banks' service as Senior Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer - Marion Region of Mutual Federal Savings
Bank at an annual base salary equal to his then current annual salary plus
annual director's fees paid to outside directors of MUTUALFIRST.


Mr. Phillips also has an employment agreement with Marion Capital, dated January
19, 2000, which will be terminated upon completion of the merger. Mr. Phillips
will receive the amount due to him pursuant to any existing non-qualified
deferred compensation agreements sponsored by Marion Capital, to the extent
these payments will not be "excess parachute payments" under Section 280(G). It
is anticipated that this amount will be approximately $411,315. Mr. Phillips
will also enter into a new employment agreement for a two year term at a salary
of $80,000 per year.
                                       28

<PAGE>






DEFERRED  COMPENSATION  PLANS. All existing deferred  compensation plans of
Marion Capital,  except as discussed  below,  are intended to be terminated upon
completion  of the merger,  subject to  obtaining  necessary  consents  from the
beneficiaries  under those agreements which include all of the current directors
and executive  officers of Marion Capital.  Distribution of the present value of
each participant's  fully vested benefit will be made in lump sum cash payments.
The deferred  compensation  plans maintained for Mr. Banks and Mr. McVicker will
be continued after the merger and have been amended to create secular trusts for
their respective benefit and to permit annual  contributions of accrued benefits
to those  trusts.  To the  extent  other  participants  choose not to consent to
termination,  other deferred  compensation  plans may also continue in effect as
currently  structured.  Some of those require the creation of a secular trust at
the Effective Time of the merger.

The Executive  Shareholder Benefit Plan will be amended to permit Mr. Banks
to receive full payment of the present  value of his  survivor's  benefit if his
employment is  involuntarily  terminated  without  cause,  if he terminates  his
employment  for good reason within three years  following  the merger,  or if he
dies or becomes disabled.  The Directors  Shareholder Benefit Plans of Mr. Banks
and Mr. McVicker will be amended to provide continued accrual of benefits during
periods these individuals serve as directors and/or advisory  directors,  and to
permit Mr. Banks and Mr.  McVicker to receive  full payment of their  survivor's
benefit if they  cease  service as a director  or  advisory  director  of Mutual
Federal  Savigs Bank  because  they are not  nominated  or  appointed  by Mutual
Federal  Savings Bank or MUTUALFIRST  fails to elect them for reasons other than
cause, or if their service terminates because of death or disability. No payment
will be required if they do not seek to be renominated or appointed.

Indemnification and Insurance. For a period of six years following the effective
date of the merger, MUTUALFIRST has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless those directors, officers and employees of Marion Capital or any of its
subsidiaries who held such positions prior to the completion of the merger
against all expenses, judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities
arising from acts or omissions occurring at or before the effective date of the
merger, to the fullest extent permitted by Indiana law and to the extent of
Marion Capital's obligations under its articles of incorporation and code of
bylaws as in effect as of the date of the merger agreement.


MUTUALFIRST has also agreed that, for a period of three years from the effective
date of the merger, it will use its reasonable best efforts to provide
directors' and officers' insurance for the present and former officers and
directors of Marion Capital with respect to claims arising from facts or events
occurring prior to the effective date. The insurance provided by MUTUALFIRST
must contain at least the same coverage amounts with terms and conditions no
less advantageous than Marion Capital's current policy; provided, however, that
MUTUALFIRST is not required to expend more than 150% of the current amount
expended by Marion Capital to maintain or obtain that insurance coverage in
2000. If MUTUALFIRST cannot maintain or obtain the required insurance coverage
within the 150% limit, it is required to use its reasonable best efforts to
obtain as much comparable insurance as is available for that amount. Finally, if
MUTUALFIRST merges into or consolidates with any other entity or sells
substantially all its assets to another entity, MUTUALFIRST must cause its
successors or assigns to assume these indemnification and insurance obligations.

OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT

Although the completion of the merger requires shareholder approval, many
provisions of the merger agreement became effective immediately upon its
signing. Your vote was not required to make these provisions binding obligations
of MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each party has made representations and
warranties to the other party with respect to various matters, including its
financial statements, capital structure, business, loans, investments,
regulatory filings and benefit plans. These representations and warranties must
be true and correct upon both signing of the merger agreement and the completion
of the merger. A party can terminate the merger agreement if the other party's
representations and warranties are not true and correct, resulting in a material
adverse effect on that other party. If the merger is completed, or if the merger
agreement is terminated for some unrelated reason, the representations and
warranties become void. You can find details of these obligations in Article V
of Appendix A.
                                       29

<PAGE>

COOPERATION AND CONDUCT OF BUSINESS. Each party has agreed to cooperate in
completing the merger and to avoid extraordinary transactions between the
signing of the merger agreement and the completion of the merger. These
provisions become void if the merger is completed. These provisions also become
void if the merger agreement is terminated, except for those related to
confidentiality, joint press releases, breakup fees and shared expenses. You can
find details of these obligations in Articles IV and VI of Appendix A.

WAIVER AND AMENDMENT. Section 9.02 of Appendix A allows either party to extend
the time for the performance of any obligation by the other party, and to waive
(to the extent permitted by law) any condition or obligation of the other party.
Section 9.02 allows the boards of the parties to amend the merger agreement,
except that after approval by Marion Capital's shareholders, the merger
consideration cannot be decreased if the decrease would violate Indiana law.

TERMINATION. The merger agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement of the
parties (even after shareholder approval), or by a non-breaching party under any
of the following circumstances:

     o    In response to a material breach which is not cured within 30 days.

     o    If any required regulatory or shareholder approval is not obtained.

     o    If the merger is not completed by February 28, 2001.

The merger agreement may also be terminated by either party if the other party's
board of directors at any time prior to that other party's shareholder meeting,
fails to unanimously recommend approval of the merger agreement to its
shareholders, or adversely changes its recommendation with respect to the
interest of the terminating party.

You can find details of the  termination  provisions in Article VIII of Appendix
A.

TERMINATION FEES

To increase the likelihood that the merger will be completed,  and to discourage
other persons who may be interested in combining with either party,  MUTUALFIRST
and  Marion  Capital  have each  agreed to pay the  other a  termination  fee of
$975,000  upon the  happening  of certain  events.  These  termination  fees are
intended to make it more likely that the merger will be  completed on the agreed
terms and to  compensate a party for its efforts and costs in case the merger is
not completed. A termination fee will be payable to one party by the other party
if:

     o    the other party's shareholders' meeting does not take place;

     o    the board of directors of the other party does not recommend approval
          of the merger agreement; or

     o    the board of directors of the other party adversely changes its
          favorable recommendation to its shareholders regarding approval of the
          merger agreement and the other party's shareholders fail to approve
          the merger agreement, so long as the first party is not then in
          material breach of the merger agreement. A breakup fee will also be
          payable to one party if a tender offer, exchange offer, merger
          proposal or other similar proposal or offer to acquire all or
          substantially all of the assets, deposits or equity security of the
          other party is made by a third party before that party's shareholders'
          meeting and that party's shareholders fail to approve the merger
          agreement, so long as the first party is not then in material breach
          of the merger agreement.

The termination fees may therefore discourage proposals for alternative business
combinations, even if a third party were prepared to offer MUTUALFIRST or Marion
Capital more  favorable  terms.  The breakup fees are discussed in Sections 6.17
and 6.18 of Appendix A.

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

We will appoint an exchange agent to handle the exchange of Marion Capital stock
certificates for MUTUALFIRST stock  certificates and the payment of cash for any
fractional  share.  Promptly  after the merger is completed,  the exchange agent
will send to each holder of Marion  Capital common stock a letter of transmittal
for use in the  exchange and  instructions  explaining  how to surrender  Marion
Capital  certificates  to the exchange  agent.  Holders of Marion Capital common
stock that surrender their  certificates to the exchange agent,  together with a
properly  completed letter of transmittal,  will receive the appropriate  merger
consideration.  Upon the effective date of the merger, holders of Marion Capital
common stock will cease to have any rights as shareholders of Marion Capital
except to receive any dividends or distributions declared by Marion Capital, but
not yet paid as of the effective date of the merger. Holders of unexchanged
shares of Marion Capital common stock will not be entitled to receive any
dividends or other distributions payable by MUTUALFIRST after the effective time
of the merger until their certificates are surrendered. However, when those
certificates are surrendered for shares of MUTUALFIRST common stock, any unpaid
dividends or distributions will be paid, without interest.

Marion Capital common stock certificates should not be returned with the
enclosed proxy and should not be forwarded to the exchange agent until you
receive the transmittal form.

MUTUALFIRST stock certificates will not be exchanged as part of the merger.

Securities Act as of the date of the Marion Capital special meeting. Affiliates

The timing and amount of future dividends will depend upon earnings, cash
requirements, the financial condition of MUTUALFIRST and its subsidiaries,
applicable government regulations and other factors the MUTUALFIRST board
considers relevant. The dividend policies on the MUTUALFIRST common stock are
subject to the discretion of the MUTUALFIRST board of directors. The merger
agreement provides that Marion Capital will not pay a dividend other than a
quarterly cash dividend not to exceed $.22 per share, and MUTUALFIRST will not
pay a dividend other than a quarterly cash dividend not to exceed $.07 per
share, prior to completion of the merger without the other party's consent.

          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (pro
forma financial statements) are based on the historical financial statements of
MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital and have been prepared to illustrate the effect
of the merger. Consummation of the merger is subject to a number of conditions,
and no assurance can be given that the merger will be consummated on the
currently anticipated terms, or at all.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June
30, 2000 is based on the unaudited historical consolidated balance sheet of
MUTUALFIRST and the audited historical consolidated balance sheet of Marion
Capital at that date, assuming that the merger had been consummated on June 30,
2000 and accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement reflects the
combination of the historical results of operations of MUTUALFIRST for the year
ended December 31, 1999 and of Marion Capital for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1999, as well as for the six months ended June 30, 2000 for both
companies.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statements give effect to the
merger using the purchase method of accounting and assume that (1) the merger
occurred as of the beginning of the period presented, and (2) the amount of
initial negative goodwill equaled the amount reflected in the unaudited pro
forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2000.

These pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements and related notes of MUTUALFIRST and Marion
Capital incorporated by reference in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

As noted above, the merger will be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the MUTUALFIRST common stock issued to the Marion
Capital shareholders will be measured based upon the average closing market
price of MUTUALFIRST's common stock before, after and including the date of the
merger announcement. In addition, the pro forma adjustments made for the purpose
of preparing the pro forma financial statements are based upon certain
assumptions and estimates regarding the amount of negative goodwill (which
represents the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the
total acquisition cost) which will arise from the merger and the period over
which such negative goodwill will be accreted. The actual negative goodwill
arising from the merger will be based on the excess of the fair value of the net
assets acquired over the total acquisition cost, based on fair value estimates
and other information determined as of the date the merger is consummated. For
purposes of the pro forma financial statements, the fair value of Marion
Capital's assets and liabilities was estimated based upon information available
as of June 30, 2000. The actual fair value adjustments to the assets and
liabilities of Marion Capital will be made on the basis of appraisals and
evaluations that will be made as of the date the merger is consummated and may,
therefore, differ significantly from those reflected in these pro forma
financial statements. In the opinion of MUTUALFIRST's management, the estimates
used in the preparation of these pro forma financial statements are reasonable
under the circumstances.

The combined company expects to achieve benefits from the merger including
operating cost savings and revenue enhancements. The pro forma earnings set
forth in this section do not reflect any potential cost savings or revenue
enhancements which are expected to result from the combination of operations of
MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital and, accordingly, may not be indicative of the
results of future operations. No assurances can be given with respect to the
ultimate level of cost savings or revenue enhancements to be realized. As a
result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement is not
necessarily indicative of either the results of operations that would have
occurred had the merger been effective at the beginning of the respective period
or of future results of the combined company.

                    DESCRIPTION OF MUTUALFIRST CAPITAL STOCK

GENERAL


The authorized  capital stock of MUTUALFIRST  consists of 20,000,000 shares
of MUTUALFIRST  common stock,  par value of $0.01 per share and 5,000,000 shares
of preferred  stock,  par value of $0.01 per share. As of October 13, 2000 there
were 5,819,611 shares of MUTUALFIRST common stock outstanding and no shares of
preferred  stock  outstanding.  Upon  completion  of the  merger  there  will be
8,367,149 shares of MUTUALFIRST common stock outstanding.


THE MUTUALFIRST COMMON STOCK WILL REPRESENT CAPITAL THAT CANNOT BE WITHDRAWN. IN
ADDITION, THE MUTUALFIRST COMMON STOCK WILL NOT BE AN ACCOUNT OF AN INSURABLE
TYPE AND WILL NOT BE INSURED BY THE FDIC.

COMMON STOCK

DIVIDENDS. MUTUALFIRST can pay dividends out of statutory surplus or from
certain net profits if, as and when declared by its board of directors. The
payment of dividends by MUTUALFIRST is subject to limitations which are imposed
by Maryland law. Holders of MUTUALFIRST common stock will be entitled to receive
and share equally in such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors
out of funds that are legally available. If MUTUALFIRST issues preferred stock,
the holders thereof may have a priority over the holders of the MUTUALFIRST
common stock with respect to dividends.

Decisions concerning the payment of dividends on the common stock will depend
upon our results of operations, financial condition and capital expenditure
plans, as well as such other factors as the board of directors, in its sole
discretion, may consider relevant.

VOTING RIGHTS. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote
per share. Holders of MUTUALFIRST common stock do not have any right to cumulate
votes in the election of directors. MUTUALFIRST's articles of incorporation
provides that holders of common stock who own or may be considered to own more
than 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock can only vote their stock up
to the 10% limit. The limit includes shares which people have the right to
acquire through any agreement or the exercise of any rights, warrants or
options. Certain matters require an 80% shareholder vote to approve. Those
matters are set forth in more detail in "Comparison of Shareholders' Rights --
Amendment of Governing Documents." If MUTUALFIRST issues preferred stock,
holders of the preferred stock may also possess voting rights.

LIQUIDATION. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
MUTUALFIRST, the holders of its common stock would be entitled to receive, after
payment or provision for payment of all its debts and liabilities, all of the
assets of MUTUALFIRST available for distribution. If preferred stock is issued,
the holders thereof may have a priority over the holders of the MUTUALFIRST
common stock in the event of liquidation or dissolution.

                                       39

<PAGE>



PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. Holders of MUTUALFIRST common stock are entitled to
preemptive rights with respect to any shares which may be issued. The
MUTUALFIRST common stock is not subject to redemption.

PREFERRED STOCK

MUTUALFIRST has not issued any shares of preferred stock. However, preferred
stock may be issued with such preferences and designations as the board of
directors may from time to time determine. The board of directors can, without
stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, liquidation
and conversion rights which could dilute the voting strength of the holders of
the common stock and may assist management in impeding an unfriendly takeover or
attempted change in control.

ANTI-TAKEOVER CONSIDERATIONS

Maryland law and the MUTUALFIRST articles of incorporation and bylaws contain a
number of provisions which may have the effect of discouraging transactions that
involve an actual or threatened change of control of MUTUALFIRST. For a
description of the provisions, see "-- Comparison of Shareholders' Rights --
Amending the Articles of Incorporation," "-- Amending the Bylaws."

                       COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS

Marion Capital is an Indiana corporation governed by the Indiana Business
Corporation Law as well as by the Marion Capital's articles of incorporation and
code of bylaws. MUTUALFIRST, on the other hand, is a Maryland corporation
governed by the Maryland General Corporation Law as well as its articles of
incorporation and bylaws. The shareholders of Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST are
subject to certain different corporate governance requirements under their
respective articles of incorporation and bylaws.

The following table is a summary of the differences that exist between the
rights of shareholders of MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital. Upon completion of the
merger, MUTUALFIRST's articles of incorporation will govern the continuing
corporation. Accordingly, this section includes a brief description of the
material rights that MUTUALFIRST shareholders are expected to have following
completion of the merger, although in some cases the board of directors of
MUTUALFIRST retains the discretion to alter those rights without shareholder
consent. The description does not purport to be a complete statement of all the
differences between the rights of shareholders of MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital
and the identification of certain differences is not meant to indicate that
other differences do not exist. The following summary is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Maryland General Corporation Law, the Indiana
Business Corporation Law, and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of
MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital.

Copies of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of MUTUALFIRST and Marion
Capital are available, and will be sent at your request without charge.

and vote upon the approval of the merger agreement.

Marion Capital shareholders also may consider and vote upon any other matters

VOTING RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS; VOTES REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL


VOTING RIGHTS OF MUTUALFIRST SHAREHOLDERS. The MUTUALFIRST board of directors
has fixed the close of business on October 13, 2000 as the record date for
shareholders entitled to vote at the MUTUALFIRST special meeting. Only holders
of record of MUTUALFIRST common stock on that record date are entitled to vote
at the meeting. Each share of MUTUALFIRST common stock you own entitles you to
one vote. On the MUTUALFIRST record date, 5,819,611 shares of MUTUALFIRST
common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote at the MUTUALFIRST special
meeting, held by approximately 1,378 shareholders of record.


Each participant in the MUTUALFIRST Employee Stock Ownership Plan instructs the
trustee how to vote his or her allocated shares. The trustee votes unallocated
shares in the manner directed by the majority of the allocated shares for which
it received instructions. If a participant does not give timely instructions,
the trustee votes the allocated shares in its discretion.

VOTE REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT. The affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the MUTUALFIRST common stock entitled to vote is
required to approve the merger agreement and the issuance of MUTUALFIRST common
stock in the merger. THE MUTUALFIRST BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT
MUTUALFIRST SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND THE
ISSUANCE OF SHARES IN THE MERGER.

Because approval of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of a
majority of the MUTUALFIRST common stock entitled to vote, abstentions and
failure to vote will have the same effect as votes against the merger. Under the
Nasdaq Stock Market rules, your broker may not vote your shares on the merger
without instructions from you. Without your voting instructions, a broker
non-vote will occur and will have the same effect as a vote against the merger.

A majority of shares present and entitled to vote may also authorize the
adjournment of the MUTUALFIRST special meeting. No proxy that is voted against
the merger will be voted in favor of adjournment to solicit further proxies in
favor of the merger.


VOTING RIGHTS OF MARION CAPITAL SHAREHOLDERS. The Marion Capital board of
directors has fixed the close of business on October 13, 2000 as the record date
for shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Marion Capital special
meeting. Only holders of record of Marion Capital common stock on the record
date are entitled to vote at the Marion Capital special meeting. Each share of
Marion Capital common stock you own entitles you to one vote. On the Marion
Capital record date, there were 1,368,173 shares of Marion Capital common stock
outstanding and entitled to vote at the Marion Capital special meeting, held by
approximately 387 shareholders of record.


VOTE REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT. The affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the Marion Capital common stock entitled to vote is
required to approve the merger agreement. THE MARION CAPITAL BOARD UNANIMOUSLY
RECOMMENDS THAT MARION CAPITAL SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE MERGER
AGREEMENT.

Because approval of the Marion Capital proposal to adopt the merger agreement
requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Marion Capital
common stock entitled to vote, abstentions and failures to vote will have the
same effect as votes against the merger. Under the Nasdaq Stock Market rules,
your broker may not vote your shares on the merger without instructions from
you. Without your voting instructions, a broker non-vote will occur and will
have the same effect as a vote against the merger.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of at least one-third of the total number
of shares of MUTUALFIRST common stock entitled to vote is required to constitute
a quorum at the special meeting. The meeting may be adjourned if the holders of
more shares of Marion Capital common stock voting in favor of such adjournment
than against such adjournment. No proxy that is voted against the merger will be
voted in favor of adjournment to solicit further proxies in favor of the merger.

VOTING OF PROXIES; REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES; PROXY SOLICITATION COSTS

VOTING OF PROXIES. You may vote in person at your meeting or by proxy. To ensure
your representation at the meeting, we recommend you vote by proxy even if you
plan to attend your meeting. You can always change your vote at the meeting.
Remember, if your shares are held in the name of a broker or other nominee, only
your broker or such nominee can vote your shares and only after receiving
instructions from you on how to vote the shares. Please contact the person
responsible for your account and instruct him or her to execute a proxy card on
your behalf.

Voting instructions are included on your proxy card. If you properly give your
proxy and submit it to us in time to vote, the persons named as your proxy will
vote your shares as you have directed. You may vote for or against the
proposal(s) set forth on your proxy card and described in this document or
abstain from voting. If you submit your proxy but do not make a specific choice
as to how to vote, your proxy will follow the MUTUALFIRST board's or Marion
Capital board's recommendation and vote your shares "FOR" the proposal(s).

If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the special
meetings of MUTUALFIRST or Marion Capital, the persons named in the relevant
form of proxy will have the discretion to vote on those matters in accordance
with their best judgment. Neither MUTUALFIRST nor Marion Capital is aware of any
other matters to be presented at its respective shareholders' meeting other than
those described in its notice of meeting.

You may receive more than one proxy card depending on how your shares are held.
For example, you may hold some of your shares individually, some jointly with
your spouse and some in trust for your children -- in which case you will
receive three separate proxy cards to vote.

REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES.  You may revoke your proxy before it is voted by:

     o    submitting a new proxy with a later date,

     o    notifying your company's secretary in writing before the meeting that
          you have revoked your proxy, or

     o    voting in person at your meeting.

If you plan to attend your company's meeting and wish to vote in person, we will
give you a ballot at the meeting. However, if your shares are held in the name
of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must bring a legal proxy from the
nominee, indicating that you were the beneficial owner of common stock on the
appropriate record date and giving you the right to vote those shares.


PROXY SOLICITATION COSTS. We each will pay our own costs of soliciting proxies.
In addition to this mailing, MUTUALFIRST and Marion Capital directors, officers
and employees may also solicit proxies personally, electronically or by
telephone. MUTUALFIRST is paying Regan & Associates, Inc. a fee of up to $7,250
plus expenses to help with the solicitation.  Marion Capital is paying Regan &
Associates, Inc. a fee of up to $5,500 plus expenses to help with the
solicitation. We will also reimburse brokers and other nominees for their
expenses in sending these materials to you and obtaining your voting
instructions.


Do not send in any stock certificates with your proxy cards. As soon as
practicable after the completion of the merger, the exchange agent will mail
transmittal forms with instructions for the surrender of stock certificates for
Marion Capital common stock to former Marion Capital shareholders.

the meeting. Ratification of the adoption of the 2000 Stock Option and Incentive
Plan and the ratification of the adoption of the 2000 Recognition and Retention
Plan both require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes
cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining a
quorum at the meeting; however, abstaining shares will have the same effect as a
vote against the ratification of the adoption of the 2000 Stock Option and
Incentive Plan and the ratification of the adoption of the 2000 Recognition and
Retention Plan proposals while non-voted shares will have no effect on the
ratification of the adoption of the 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and the

proposals.

DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION

Each director of MUTUALFIRST also is a director of Mutual Federal. For serving
on Mutual Federal's Board of Directors, each director receives an annual fee of
$23,200, except for Director Roberts, who is not compensated for his service as
a director. In addition to the annual director fee, the Chairman of Mutual
Federal's Board of

                                       46

<PAGE>



Directors receives $5,000 per year for serving as Chairman. Directors are not
compensated for their service on MUTUALFIRST's Board of Directors.

Mutual Federal maintains deferred compensation arrangements with some directors
which allows them to defer all or a portion of their board fees and receive
income when they are no longer active directors. Deferred amounts earn interest
at the rate of 10% per year.

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PROGRAM

Mutual Federal Savings Bank maintains a non-qualified supplemental executive
retirement program for the benefit of certain senior executives, including those
named in the summary compensation table above. The payments under this program
are funded by life insurance contracts which have been purchased by Mutual
Federal Savings Bank. Mutual Federal Savings Bank provides for monthly accruals
of specified amounts necessary to meet future benefit obligations for each
executive. Accruals for 1999 are shown in the footnote (3) to the summary
compensation table. Benefits are payable in monthly installments for a period of
time upon the executive's retirement, death, voluntary resignation, or
termination by Mutual Federal Savings Bank without cause. If the employment of a
participant is terminated as a result of a change in control, Mutual Federal
Savings Bank must pay to the participant in a lump sum in cash the present value
of the amount of all remaining contributions that would have been made if the
participant continued with Mutual Federal Savings Bank until retirement age. If
the officers named in the compensation table had been terminated as a result of
a change in control of Mutual Federal Savings Bank as of December 31, 1999,
Mutual Federal Savings Bank would have been required to pay $374,166, $292,817,
$221,076 and $128,407 to Messrs. Roberts, Campbell, McArdle and Selby,
respectively.

EXECUTIVE DEFERRAL PROGRAM

Mutual Federal Savings Bank also maintains an executive deferral program for the
benefit of certain senior executives, including those named in the summary
compensation table. The program allows an additional opportunity for key
executives to defer a portion of their income into a non-qualified deferral
program to supplement their retirement earnings. For each participant other than
Mr. Roberts, Mutual Federal Savings Bank matches $.50 for every dollar deferred,
up to a specified amount, providing for a benefit equal to 10% of the
participant's anticipated salary at retirement age. Mutual Federal Savings
Bank's 1999 matching contributions for Messrs. Campbell, McArdle and Selby and
earnings for 1999, at a rate of 10%, on funds in the program held for Messrs.
Roberts, Campbell, McArdle and Selby are shown in footnote (3) to the summary
compensation table.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

Effective January 1, 2000, Mutual Federal Savings Bank entered into three-year
employment agreements with Messrs. Roberts and McArdle. The employment
agreements provide for minimum base salaries of $258,000 and $110,000,
respectively, and for equitable participation by the executive in discretionary
bonuses awarded to executive employees and in Mutual Federal's other employee
benefit plans. Each agreement provides that the executive's employment may be
terminated by Mutual Federal or by the executive at any time, and also provides
for termination upon the occurrence of certain events specified by federal
regulations. If, other than in connection with or within 12 months after a
change in control of MUTUALFIRST or Mutual Federal, the executive's employment
is terminated by Mutual Federal Savings Bank without cause or by the executive
following a material reduction of his duties and responsibilities, Mutual
Federal Savings Bank will be required to pay to the executive his then current
salary and continue to provide to the executive his employee benefits for the
remaining term of the agreement.

Each employment agreement provides for a lump sum severance payment and
continuation of health benefits for the remaining term of the agreement if, in
connection with or within 12 months after a change in control of MUTUALFIRST or
Mutual Federal, the executive's employment is terminated by Mutual Federal
Savings Bank without cause or by the executive following a material reduction of
his duties and responsibilities. The maximum value of the change in control
severance payment under each employment agreement is 2.99 times the executive's
average annual W-2 compensation during the five calendar year period prior to
the effective date of the change in control (base amount). Assuming that a
change in control had occurred, Messrs. Roberts and McArdle would be entitled to
severance payments of approximately $747,720 and $320,314, respectively. Section
280G of the Internal Revenue Code

                                       47

<PAGE>



provides that severance payments that equal or exceed three times the
individual's base amount are deemed to be "excess parachute payments" if they
are conditioned upon a change in control. Individuals receiving parachute
payments in excess of three times their base amount are subject to a 20% excise
tax on the amount of the excess payments. If excess parachute payments are made,
MUTUALFIRST and Mutual Federal would not be entitled to deduct the amount of the
excess payments. Each employment agreement provides that severance and other
payments that are subject to a change in control will be reduced as much as
necessary to ensure that no amounts payable to the executive will be considered
excess parachute payments.

                       RATIFICATION OF THE ADOPTION OF THE
                      2000 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN

PURPOSE

The purpose of the 2000 stock option plan is to promote the long-term success of
MUTUALFIRST and increase shareholder value by:

     o    attracting and retaining key employees and directors;

     o    encouraging directors and key employees to focus on long-range
          objectives; and

     o    further linking the interests of directors, officers and employees
          directly to the interests of the shareholders.

In furtherance of these objectives, MUTUALFIRST's board of directors has adopted
the stock option plan to be effective as of the one year anniversary date of the
completion of MUTUALFIRST's initial public offering, subject to ratification by
the shareholders at the special meeting. A summary of the stock option plan is
set forth below. This summary is, however, qualified by and subject to the more
complete information set forth in the stock option plan, a copy of which is
attached to this document as Appendix D.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE STOCK OPTION PLAN

The stock option plan will be administered by a committee of two or more
members, each of whom must be a "non-employee director" and an "outside
director," as those terms are defined in the stock option plan. The stock
benefit plan committee will:

     o    select persons to receive options or stock appreciation rights from
          among the eligible participants;

     o    determine the types of awards and the number of shares to be awarded
          to participants;

     o    set the terms, conditions and provisions of the options or stock
          appreciation rights consistent with the terms of the stock option
          plan; and

     o    establish rules for the administration of the stock option plan.

The committee has the power to interpret the stock option plan and to make all
other determinations necessary or advisable for its administration.

In granting awards under the stock option plan, the committee will consider,
among other factors, the position and years of service of the individual, the
value of the individual's services to MUTUALFIRST and its subsidiaries and the
added responsibilities of these individuals as employees, directors and officers
of a public company.


                                       48

<PAGE>



NUMBER OF SHARES THAT MAY BE AWARDED

Under the stock option plan, the committee may grant awards for an aggregate of
581,961 shares of MUTUALFIRST common stock. This amount represents 10.0 percent
of the shares sold in our initial public offering in December 1999, including
the shares issued to the Mutual Federal Savings Bank Charitable Foundation, Inc.
These awards may be in the form of (i) options to purchase shares of common
stock for cash and/or (ii) stock appreciation rights granting the right to
receive the excess of the market value of the shares of common stock represented
by the stock appreciation rights on the date exercised over the exercise price.
Stock options and stock appreciation rights are sometimes collectively referred
to in this proxy statement as "awards." The stock option plan also provides that
no person may be granted options for more than 150,000 shares during any fiscal
year.

The 581,961 shares of MUTUALFIRST common stock available under the stock option
plan are subject to adjustment in the event of certain corporate
reorganizations. As described in greater detail below, the total number of
shares reserved for issuance under the stock option plan may increase over time
as a result of the "reload" feature contained in the stock option plan. Awards
that expire or are terminated unexercised will be available again for issuance
under the stock option plan.

The stock option plan provides for the use of authorized but unissued shares or
treasury shares. Treasury shares are previously issued and outstanding shares of
MUTUALFIRST common stock which are no longer outstanding as a result of having
been repurchased or otherwise reacquired by the company. MUTUALFIRST intends to
fund the exercise of stock options with treasury shares to the extent available.
To the extent MUTUALFIRST uses authorized but unissued shares, rather than
treasury shares, to fund exercise of stock options under the plan, the exercise
of stock options will have the effect of diluting the holdings of persons who
own our common stock. Assuming all options under the stock option plan are
awarded and exercised through the use of authorized but unissued common stock,
current shareholders would be diluted by approximately 9.1 percent. Some
additional dilution may occur as a result of the stock option plan's "reload"
feature, however, we would not expect such additional dilution to be material.

RELOAD FEATURE

The number of shares available for awards under the stock option plan may be
increased, from time to time and without shareholder approval, as a result of
the plan's "reload" provision. Under the "reload" provision additional shares
may be added to the remaining shares available under the plan as follows:

     (i)  the cash proceeds received by us from the exercise of stock options
          granted under the plan may be used to repurchase shares of MUTUALFIRST
          common stock with an aggregate price no greater than such cash
          proceeds; and

     (ii) any shares of MUTUALFIRST common stock surrendered to us in payment of
          the exercise price of stock options granted under the plan will be
          made available for future awards.

ELIGIBILITY TO RECEIVE AWARDS


The committee may grant options to directors, advisory directors, officers and
employees of MUTUALFIRST and its subsidiaries. The committee will select persons
to receive options among the eligible participants and determine the number of
shares underlying the options to be granted. There are currently 217 individuals
who are eligible to receive awards under the stock option plan.


EXERCISE PRICE OF AWARDS


Under the terms of the stock option plan, the committee may grant stock
appreciation rights or options to purchase shares of MUTUALFIRST common stock at
a price which may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock, as
determined by the mean between the closing bid and asked quotations on the
Nasdaq Stock Market on the date the option is granted.



                                       49

<PAGE>



EXERCISABILITY OF AWARDS AND OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

STOCK OPTIONS. Generally, options under the stock option plan may not be
exercised later than 15 years after the grant date. Subject to the limitations
imposed by the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, certain of the options
granted under the stock option plan may be designated "incentive stock options."
Incentive stock options may not be exercised later than ten years after the
grant date. Options which are not designated and do not otherwise qualify as
incentive stock options in this document are referred to as "non-qualified stock
options."

The committee will determine the time or times at which a stock option may be
exercised in whole or in part and the method or methods by which, and the form
or forms in which, payment of the exercise price with respect to the stock
option may be made. Unless otherwise determined by the committee and set forth
in the written award agreement evidencing the grant of the stock option, upon
termination of service of the participant for any reason other than for cause,
all stock options then currently exercisable by the participant shall remain
exercisable for the lesser of (i) three years following such termination of
service or (ii) until the expiration of the stock option by its terms. Upon
termination of service for cause, all stock options not previously exercised
shall immediately be forfeited.

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. The committee may grant stock appreciation rights at
any time, whether or not the participant then holds stock options. A stock
appreciation right gives the recipient of the award the right to receive the
excess of the market value of the shares represented by the stock appreciation
rights on the date exercised over the exercise price. Stock appreciation rights
generally will be subject to the same terms and conditions and exercisable to
the same extent as stock options, as described above. Upon the exercise of a
stock appreciation right, the holder will receive the amount due in cash or
shares, or a combination of both, as determined by the committee. Stock
appreciation rights may be related to stock options called "tandem stock
appreciation rights," in which case the exercise of one will reduce to that
extent the number of shares represented by the other.

Stock appreciation rights will require an expense accrual by MUTUALFIRST each
year for the appreciation on the stock appreciation rights which it anticipates
will be exercised. The amount of the accrual is dependent upon whether and the
extent to which the stock appreciation rights are granted and the amount, if
any, by which the market value of the stock appreciation rights exceeds the
exercise price.

ACCELERATION OF VESTING REQUIREMENTS. The committee has the right to determine
the terms and conditions upon which an award shall be granted. Accordingly, the
committee may provide in the applicable award agreement, among other provisions
not inconsistent with the stock option plan, that upon the occurrence of certain
events, like the involuntary termination of an employee, a holder of any
unexpired option under the stock option plan will have the right to exercise the
option in whole or in part without regard to the date the option would be first
exercisable. In addition, the stock option plan provides that, unless otherwise
provided in the applicable award agreement, upon the occurrence of a change in
control of MUTUALFIRST a holder of any unexpired option under the stock option
plan will have the right to exercise the option in whole or in part without
regard to the date the option would be first exercisable.

TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS

An incentive stock option awarded under the stock option plan may be transferred
only upon the death of the holder to whom it has been granted, by will or the
laws of inheritance. An award other than an incentive stock option may be
transferred during the lifetime of the holder to whom it was awarded pursuant to
a qualified domestic relations order or by gift to any member of the holder's
immediate family or to a trust for the benefit of any member of the holder's
immediate family.

EFFECT OF MERGER ON OPTION OR RIGHT

Upon a merger or other business combination of MUTUALFIRST in which it is not
the surviving entity, the stock option plan provides that each holder of an
unexpired award will have the right, after consummation of the transaction and
during the remaining term of the award, to receive upon exercise of the award an
amount equal to the excess of the fair market value on the date of exercise of
the securities or other consideration receivable in the merger in respect

                                       50

<PAGE>



of a share of common stock over the exercise price of the award, multiplied by
the number of shares of common stock with respect to which the award is
exercised. This amount may be payable fully in cash, fully in one or more of the
kind or kinds of property payable in the merger, consolidation or combination,
or partly in cash and partly in one or more of the kind or kinds of property,
all in the discretion of the committee.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

The stock option plan shall continue in effect for a term of 15 years, after
which no further awards may be granted under the stock option plan. The board of
directors may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the stock option plan or
any portion of the stock option plan, except to the extent shareholder approval
is necessary or required for purposes of any applicable federal or state law or
regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on
which our common stock may then be listed or quoted. Shareholder approval will
generally be required with respect to an amendment to the stock option plan that
will (i) increase the aggregate number of securities which may be issued under
the plan, except as specifically set forth under the stock option plan, (ii)
materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the stock option
plan, (iii) materially change the requirements as to eligibility for
participation in the stock option plan, or (iv) change the class of persons
eligible to participate in the stock option plan. No amendment, suspension or
termination of the stock option plan, however, will impair the rights of any
participant, without his or her consent, in any award made under the stock
option plan.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

Under current federal tax law, the non-qualified stock options granted under the
stock option plan will not result in any taxable income to the optionee or any
tax deduction to MUTUALFIRST at the time of grant. Upon the exercise of a
non-qualified stock option, the excess of the market value of the shares
acquired over their cost is taxable to the optionee as compensation income and
is generally deductible by MUTUALFIRST. The optionee's tax basis for the shares
is the market value of the shares at the time of exercise.

Neither the grant nor the exercise of an incentive stock option under the stock
option plan will result in any federal tax consequences to either the optionee
or MUTUALFIRST. Except as described below, at the time the optionee sells shares
acquired pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option, the excess of
the sale price over the exercise price will qualify as a long-term capital gain.
If the optionee disposes of the shares within two years of the date of grant or
within one year of the date of exercise, an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of
exercise and the exercise price, or (ii) the difference between the exercise
price and the sale price will be taxed as ordinary income and MUTUALFIRST will
be entitled to a deduction in the same amount. The excess, if any, of the sale
price over the sum of the exercise price and the amount taxed as ordinary income
will qualify as long-term capital gain if the applicable holding period is
satisfied. If the optionee exercises an incentive stock option more than three
months after his or her termination of employment, he or she generally is deemed
to have exercised a non-qualified stock option. The time frame in which to
exercise an incentive stock option is extended in the event of the death or
disability of the optionee.

The exercise of a stock appreciation right will result in the recognition of
ordinary income by the recipient on the date of exercise in an amount of cash
and/or the fair market value on that date of the shares acquired pursuant to the
exercise. MUTUALFIRST will be entitled to a corresponding deduction.

</TABLE>
All options  reflected  in the table above are  anticipated  to be granted,
subject to  shareholder  ratification  of adoption of the stock option plan,  as
follows:

     (i) assuming shareholder approval, the exercise price of the stock options
will be equal to the mean between the closing bid and asked quotations on The
Nasdaq Stock Market of the MUTUALFIRST common stock on the date of grant, which
will be not earlier than December 30, 2000, the one year anniversary of Mutual
Federal Savings Bank's conversion from mutual to stock form.


     (ii) All executive officers granted awards will receive incentive stock
options to the maximum extent permitted by law, with the remainder of these
options being non-qualified stock options. The non-executive director group will
receive non-qualified stock options and the non-executive officer employee group
will receive incentive stock options. The incentive stock options have a term of
ten years and the non-qualified stock options have a term of 15 years.

                                       52

<PAGE>


     (iii)the stock options will vest in five equal installments with the
first installment vesting on the date of grant and the additional installments
vesting ratably over the next four years on the anniversary of the grant date.

     (iv) the optionees generally may exercise their vested stock options, in
whole or in part, at any time prior to, or within three months of, terminating
their service with MUTUALFIRST. If the optionee terminates service as a result
of a disability, the exercise period is 12 months after termination of service.
The exercise periods in the preceding sentences are extended for a 12-month
period in the case of death of the optionee during these periods. If an
optionee's service is terminated for cause, all of his or her rights under any
unexercised options expire immediately upon his or her notice of the
termination. Under no circumstances may an option holder exercise an option
after the expiration of the option period.


VOTE REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the meeting in
person or by proxy and entitled to vote is required to approve the stock option
plan.

THE MUTUALFIRST BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL.

                       RATIFICATION OF THE ADOPTION OF THE
                       2000 RECOGNITION AND RETENTION PLAN

PURPOSE

The purpose of the recognition and retention plan is to promote the long-term
success of MUTUALFIRST  and increase  shareholder  value.  The  recognition  and
retention plan is a stock-based compensation plan designed to:

     o    provide directors, advisory directors, officers and employees with a
          proprietary interest in MUTUALFIRST in a manner designed to encourage
          the individuals to remain with the company;

     o    reward directors, advisory directors, officers and employees for
          service; and

     o    further link the interests of directors, officers and employees
          directly to the interests of the shareholders.

In furtherance of these objectives, the MUTUALFIRST board of directors has
adopted the recognition and retention plan to be effective as of the one year
anniversary date of the completion of MUTUALFIRST's initial public offering,
subject to ratification by the shareholders at the special meeting. A summary of
the recognition and retention plan is set forth below. This summary is, however,
qualified by and subject to the more complete information set forth in the
recognition and retention plan, a copy of which is attached to this document as
Appendix E.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE RECOGNITION AND RETENTION PLAN

The recognition and retention plan will be administered by the stock benefit
plan committee of MUTUALFIRST. The stock benefit plan committee will:

     o    select persons to receive stock awards from among the eligible
          participants;

     o    determine the number of shares to be awarded to participants;

     o    set the terms, conditions and provisions of the awards consistent with
          the terms of the recognition and retention plan; and

     o    establish rules for the administration of the recognition and
          retention plan.
                                       53

<PAGE>


The stock benefit plan committee has the power to interpret the recognition and
retention plan and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for
its administration.

In determining to whom and in what amount to grant awards under the recognition
and retention plan, the stock benefit plan committee will consider the position,
responsibilities and years of service of eligible individuals, the value of
their services to MUTUALFIRST and its subsidiaries and other factors it deems
relevant.

NUMBER OF SHARES THAT MAY BE AWARDED

Under the recognition and retention plan, the stock benefit plan committee may
grant, from time to time, awards for an aggregate of 232,784 shares of
MUTUALFIRST common stock, subject to adjustment in the event of certain
corporate reorganizations. This amount represents 4.0 percent of the shares sold
in MUTUALFIRST's initial public offering in December 1999, including the shares
issued to the Mutual Federal Savings Bank Charitable Foundation, Inc.

Recognition and retention plan awards which are forfeited by a recipient will
again be available for issuance under the plan.

The recognition and retention plan provides for the use of authorized but
unissued shares or treasury shares. MUTUALFIRST intends to fund the issuance of
stock under the recognition and retention plan with treasury shares to the
extent available. To the extent that treasury shares are not used to fund the
issuance of stock under the recognition and retention plan, authorized but
unissued shares of common stock will be issued to fund such awards. To the
extent MUTUALFIRST uses authorized but unissued shares of MUTUALFIRST common
stock, the interests of current shareholders will be diluted. Assuming all
recognition and retention plan shares are awarded through the use of authorized
but unissued shares of common stock, current shareholders would be diluted by
approximately 3.85 percent.

ELIGIBILITY TO RECEIVE AWARDS


The stock benefit plan committee may grant awards of restricted stock to
directors, advisory directors, officers and employees of MUTUALFIRST and its
subsidiaries. The stock benefit plan committee will select persons to receive
stock awards among the eligible participants and determine the number of shares
to be granted. There are currently 217 individuals who are eligible to receive
stock awards under the recognition and retention plan.


TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS

Awards under the recognition and retention plan generally may not be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the holder during the
restricted period other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or
pursuant to a domestic relations order.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS UNDER THE RECOGNITION AND
RETENTION PLAN

The stock benefit plan committee is authorized to grant awards of common stock
to plan participants with the following terms and conditions and with additional
terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the recognition and
retention plan:

     (i)  the stock benefit plan committee will establish for each participant a
          restricted period during which, or at the expiration of which, the
          shares of common stock awarded as restricted stock shall no longer be
          subject to restriction.

     (ii) the recipient of the shares, as owner, will have all the rights of a
          shareholder, including the power to vote and the right to receive
          dividends with respect to the restricted stock. Shares of restricted
          stock generally may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or
          otherwise encumbered by the participant during the restricted period.

     (iii)the stock benefit plan committee has the right to determine any other
          terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the recognition and
          retention plan, upon which a restricted stock award shall be granted.
          Accordingly, the stock benefit plan committee may provide in the
          applicable award agreement that upon

                                       54

<PAGE>


          the occurrence of certain events, like the involuntary termination of
          an employee, any restrictions remaining with respect to the shares of
          stock granted pursuant to the
          recognition and retention plan will lapse without regard to the date
          that these restrictions would otherwise lapse and that the shares will
          no longer be subject to forfeiture by the recipient. In addition, the
          recognition and retention plan provides that, unless otherwise set
          forth in the applicable restricted stock agreement, upon the
          occurrence of a change of control of MUTUALFIRST, any restrictions
          remaining with respect to the shares of stock granted pursuant to the
          recognition and retention plan will lapse without regard to the date
          that these restrictions would otherwise lapse and that the shares will
          no longer be subject to forfeiture by the recipient.

     (iv) the stock benefit plan committee also has the authority, in its
          discretion, to accelerate the time at which any or all of the
          restrictions will lapse with respect to any restricted stock awards,
          or to remove any or all of the restrictions, whenever it may determine
          that this action is appropriate by reason of changes in
          applicable tax or other laws or other changes in circumstances
          occurring after the commencement of the restricted period.

AMENDMENT OF THE RECOGNITION AND RETENTION PLAN

The recognition and retention plan will continue in effect for a term of 15
years, after which no further awards may be granted under the plan. The board of
directors may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the recognition and
retention plan or any portion thereof, except to the extent shareholder approval
is necessary or required for purposes of any applicable federal or state law or
regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on
which our common stock may then be listed or quoted. Shareholder approval will
generally be required with respect to an amendment to the recognition and
retention plan that will (i) increase the aggregate number of securities which
may be issued under the plan, (ii) materially increase the benefits accruing to
participants, (iii) materially change the requirements as to eligibility for
participation in the plan or (iv) change the class of persons eligible to
participate in the plan. No amendment, suspension or termination of the
recognition and retention plan, however, will impair the rights of any
participant, without his or her consent, in any award made pursuant to the
recognition and retention plan.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

Recipients of shares granted under the recognition and retention plan will
recognize ordinary income on the date that the shares are no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture, in an amount equal to the fair market value of
the shares on that date. In certain circumstances, a holder may elect to
recognize ordinary income and determine the fair market value on the date of the
grant of the restricted stock. Recipients of shares granted under the
recognition and retention plan will also recognize ordinary income equal to
their dividend or dividend equivalent payments when these payments are received.

AWARDS UNDER THE RECOGNITION AND RETENTION PLAN


The following table presents information with respect to the number of shares of
common stock anticipated to be granted by the board of directors under the
recognition and retention plan. Any awards are subject to ratification of
adoption of the recognition and retention plan by MUTUALFIRST's shareholders at
the special meeting. Awards under the recognition and retention plan are granted
at no cost to the recipient. The dollar value of the shares set forth in the
table below is based on $12.97 per share, the mean between the closing bid and
asked quotations on the Nasdaq Stock Market on October 13, 2000, the latest
practicable date available prior to mailing this proxy statement. The market
price of MUTUALFIRST common stock may fluctuate between the date of this
document and the date of grant. Fluctuations in the market price of MUTUALFIRST
common stock will result in an increase or decrease in the value of the
MUTUALFIRST shares expected to be received by the individuals listed in the
following table.

All shares of common stock reflected in the table above are anticipated to be

retention plan, on the following terms and conditions, as follows:

     (i) subject to shareholder ratification of the recognition and retention
plan, the restricted shares will vest in five equal installments with the
first installment vesting on the date of grant, and the additional installments
vesting ratably over the next four years on the anniversary of the grant date.
Once restricted shares have vested, they are no longer subject to forfeiture or
restrictions under the recognition and retention plan.



     (ii)  the recipients of the restricted shares, as owner of these shares,
will have the power to vote, and the right to receive dividends with respect to,
all of the restricted stock granted to them.

     (iii) the restrictions on an individual's restricted stock will
automatically lapse and no longer be subject to the risk of forfeiture if the
person's services with MUTUALFIRST are terminated as a result of death or
disability and, unless otherwise provided in the applicable restricted stock
agreement, upon a change in control of MUTUALFIRST. Termination of service for
any reason, other than death, disability or a change in control of MUTUALFIRST,
will result in the forfeiture of any restricted stock then still subject to
restrictions.

OFFICER SERPS


Effective February 1, 2000, Steve Banks entered into an Executive Shareholder
Benefit Plan Agreement under which, upon his retirement after attaining age 65,
he will be entitled to receive the annuitized value of his accrued benefit under
the agreement, payable over a 15-year period. That benefit is based on the
benefits which are required to be expensed over a period not to exceed 15 years
under generally accepted accounting principles. The amount to be expensed is
equal to 54.55% of the difference between (a) First Federal's aggregate
after-tax income derived from annual increases in the cash surrender value of a
specified hypothetical pool of no-load, no-surrender charge life insurance
policies and (b) a specified after-tax cost of funds expense incurred to acquire
such policies. As of June 30, 2000, the accrued benefit under this Agreement for
Steve Banks was $42,974. If Mr. Banks voluntarily terminates his employment with
First Federal before age 65 for any reason other than cause, he will be entitled
to his accrued benefit determined as of the date of his termination of
employment payable over a 15-year period commencing within 30 days following his
termination of employment. If his employment is terminated involuntarily,
including within three years following a change in control of First Federal, but
excluding termination for cause or for reasons of death or disability, or if he
voluntarily terminates his employment within three years following a change in
control of First Federal, he will be entitled to receive an annual payment of
$282,024 payable over a 15-year period commencing after Mr. Banks attains age
65. Death and disability benefits are also provided under this agreement. Upon a
change in control of First Federal, a secular trust is to be created and funded
with the present value of the annual benefit of $282,024 payable over 15 years,
plus the increased taxes resulting from the early taxation of those benefits at
the time such secular trust is created. These benefits are to be paid by the
secular trust upon Mr. Banks' attainment of age 65. The payment of benefits to
Mr. Banks under this Executive Shareholder Benefit Plan Agreement is currently
secured by a rabbi trust funded with insurance policies and other assets.

     Under  the  merger   agreement   between  Marion  Capital  and  MUTUALFIRST
Financial,  Inc.,  the merger is not to be deemed a change in control  under the
above  Agreement,  and the  Agreement,  subject  to  certain  amendments,  is to
continue in effect following the merger. A secular trust will be created for Mr.
Banks to receive annual  contributions  of his accrued benefits under this plan.
See Interests of Directors  and Officers in the Merger that are  Different  from
Your Interest -- Deferred Compensation Plans" on page 29.

<PAGE>
Effective February 29, 2000, Larry G. Phillips entered into a Second Restated
Executive Supplemental Retirement Income Agreement under which, upon his
retirement after attaining age 65, he would be eligible to receive an annual
retirement benefit of $106,782 over a 15-year period. Mr. Phillips is also
eligible to receive an actuarially reduced benefit at age 55. If Mr. Phillips
voluntarily terminates his employment before age 65 for reasons other than
cause, his death, his disability or following a change in control, he will be
entitled to receive his accrued benefit under this agreement as of the date of
his termination, increased at an annual rate of 7.89% and payable over a 15-year
period commencing at age 65. If Mr. Phillips is involuntarily terminated other
than for cause and other than after a change in control of First Federal, he
will be entitled to receive his full annual benefit of $106,782 over a 15-year
period commencing at age 55. Death and disability benefits are also provided
under this agreement, including a $10,000 burial benefit. The benefits payable
under this agreement are secured by a rabbi trust funding with insurance
policies and other assets. Upon a change in control of First Federal, a secular
trust is to be created and funded with the present value of the $106,782 annual
benefit payable over 15 years plus the increased taxes resulting from the early
taxation of those benefits at the time such secular trust is created. Those
benefits are to be paid by the secular trust upon Mr. Phillips' attainment of
age 65.


     Under  the  merger   agreement   between  Marion  Capital  and  MUTUALFIRST
Financial,  Inc., Mr. Phillips will receive a cash payment in consideration  for
the termination of this  Agreement.  See "Interests of Directors and Officers in
the Merger that are Different from Your Interests" on page 28.


EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS

First Federal has entered into three-year employment contracts with Mr. Banks
and Mr. Phillips (the "Employees"), effective January 17, 2000. Marion Capital
has guaranteed First Federal's obligations under these contracts. The contracts
extend annually for an additional one-year term to maintain their three-year
term if First Federal's Board of Directors determines to so extend them, unless
notice not to extend is properly given by either party to the contracts. The
Employees receive their current salary subject to increases approved by the
Board of Directors. The contracts also provide, among other things, for
participation in other fringe benefits and benefit plans available to First
Federal's employees. The Employees may terminate their employment upon 60 days'
written notice to First Federal. First Federal may discharge the Employees for
cause (generally, dishonesty, incompetence, forms of misconduct or certain legal
violations) at any time or in certain specified events. If First Federal
terminates the Employees' employment without cause or if the Employees terminate
their own employment for cause (generally, material changes in duties or
authority, breaches by First Federal of the contract, or a relocation of First
Federal's principal office by more than 25 miles), the Employees will receive
their base compensation under the contract for an additional three years if the
termination follows a change of control of Marion Capital, and for the balance
of the contract if the termination does not follow a change in control. In
addition, during such period, the Employees will continue to participate in
First Federal's group insurance plans and retirement plans, or receive
comparable benefits. Moreover, within a period of three months after such
termination following a change of control, the Employees will have the right to
cause First Federal to purchase any stock options they hold for a price equal to
the fair market value (as defined in the contract) of the shares subject to such
options minus their option price. If the payments provided for in the contract,
together with any other payments made to the Employees by First Federal, are
deemed to be payments in violation of the "golden parachute" rules of the Code,
such payments will be reduced to the largest amount which would not cause First
Federal to lose a tax deduction for such payments under those rules. As of the
date hereof, the cash compensation which would be paid under the contract to the
Employees if the contract were terminated after a change of control of Marion
Capital, without cause by First Federal or for cause by the Employees, would be
$585,000 in the case of Mr. Banks and $330,000 in the case of Mr. Phillips. For
purposes of this employment contract, a change of control of Marion Capital is
generally an acquisition of control, as defined in regulations issued under the
Change in Bank Control Act and the Savings and Loan Company Act.

The employment contract protects First Federal's confidential business
information and protects First Federal from competition by the Employees should
they voluntarily terminate their employment without cause or be terminated by
First Federal for cause.

The existence of these contracts may make a merger, other business combination
or change of control of First Federal more difficult or less likely. This is
because, unless the Employees are allowed to maintain their positions and
authority with First Federal, they will be entitled to payments which in the
aggregate may be deemed to be substantial. However, the employment contracts
provide security to the Employees, and the Board of Directors

                                       60

<PAGE>


believe that it will encourage their objective evaluation of opportunities for
mergers, other business combinations or other transactions involving a change
of control of Marion Capital or First Federal since they will be in a position
to evaluate such transactions without significant concerns about the matter in
which such transactions will affect their financial security.

The merger between Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST Financial, Inc. will
constitute a change of control of Marion Capital for purposes of these
agreements. Pursuant to the merger agreement between those two corporations, the
employment contracts will be terminated and specified amounts paid to the
Employees in consideration of such termination.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

All directors of First Federal receive a retainer fee of $1,300 per month. All
directors receive $200 for each special meeting of the Board attended. Members
of Board Committees, other than officers, are paid a separate fee of $200 per
meeting. As Chairman of the Board of First Federal, Mr. Dalton receives a
retainer fee of $1,950 per month. As Vice Chairman of the Board of First
Federal, Mr. Banks receives a retainer fee of $1,625 per month.

Directors of Marion Capital are paid a fee of $100 per meeting if the meeting is
held on the same day as a meeting of First Federal and $200 per meeting if
Marion Capital meets on a different day.

SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN FOR DIRECTORS. Effective May 1, 1992, and April 1,
1999, First Federal entered into deferred compensation agreements with John M.
Dalton and the former directors listed below who served as directors during the
last fiscal year. These agreements provide that upon retirement from the Board
after attaining age 70, each director shall be entitled to receive annual
benefits in the following amounts for 10 years:

                                                           Period Remaining
     Director                    Annual Payment        Payable at June 30, 2000
     --------                    --------------        ------------------------

John M. Dalton                        $ 9,960              10 years
Jack O. Murrell                       $10,500              4 years, 8 months
W. Gordon Coryea (deceased)           $ 8,748              4 years, 7 months

Following a change in control of First Federal, Mr. Dalton could require First
Federal to pay him certain of his benefits in a lump sum or over another payment
period. A director may also elect to receive his benefits upon attaining age 70
even if he remains on the Board of Directors. Mr. Murrell and Mr. Coryea each
had attained age 70 while on the Board and had begun receiving their benefits.
Mr. Coryea is now deceased. If service of Mr. Dalton is terminated prior to
attaining age 70, the director or his beneficiary may request acceleration of
payments based upon accruals to date.

If Mr. Dalton dies prior to attaining age 70, his beneficiary will receive
annual payments equal to the Board fees paid by First Federal in the twelve
months immediately prior to his death for a period of 15 years. If he or Mr.
Murrell dies after their benefits have commenced, their beneficiaries will be
entitled to receive the remaining payments over the balance of the applicable
payment period. Mr. Dalton's beneficiary is also entitled to a $10,000 death
benefit at his death.

First Federal for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, accrued an expense for
this plan of $34,080 which consisted of interest on this deferred liability
which accrues at an annual rate of 10.5%.

DEATH BENEFIT AGREEMENTS WITH MR. CORYEA. First Federal, as of April 30, 1998,
entered into an agreement with Mr. Coryea which provides that upon his death his
beneficiary will be entitled to receive for a 15-year period, an annual payment
of $26,000. Mr. Coryea's beneficiary is currently receiving these payments under
the plan.

First Federal has purchased paid-up life insurance on the lives of the directors
covered under the supplemental retirement plan for directors and death benefit
agreement described above, to fund the benefits available under these plans.

EXCESS BENEFIT AGREEMENT AND DIRECTOR EMERITUS PLAN. On February 28, 1996, Mr.
Dalton entered into an Excess Benefit Agreement under which he receives,
commencing with attainment of age 65 in 1999, $41,681 per year payable over a
15-year period. He is currently receiving these payments which are secured by a
rabbi trust funded with insurance policies and other assets. In the event of a
change of control of First Federal, a secular trust is to be created and funded
with the present value of these benefits, plus the increased taxes resulting
from the early taxation of those benefits at the time such secular trust is
created. Under the merger agreement between Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST
Financial, Inc., Marion Capital is to use its best efforts to seek the agreement
of Mr. Dalton to receive a cash payment as consideration for the termination of
this agreement.


John M. Dalton and Jack O. Murrell are parties to a Director Emeritus Plan under
which they are entitled to receive benefits equal to 50% of their regular
monthly Board fees if and when they serve as a Director Emeritus of First
Federal. Under the merger agreement between Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST
Financial, Inc., Marion Capital is to use its best efforts to terminate these
agreements.

DALTON SERP. Effective February 29, 2000, John M. Dalton entered into a Second
Restated Executive Supplemental Retirement Income Agreement under which he would
be eligible to receive an annual retirement benefit of $99,000 over a 15-year
period, commencing with his attainment of age 65. He is currently receiving
those benefits. Death and disability benefits are also provided under this
agreement, including a $10,000 burial benefit. The payment of these benefits is
secured by a rabbi trust funded with insurance policies and other assets. Upon a
change in control of First Federal a secular trust is to be created to which the
present value of the $99,000 benefit payable over 15 years plus increased taxes
resulting from the early taxation of those benefits at the time such secular
trust is created. These benefits are to continue to be paid by the secular trust
to Mr. Dalton over the remainder of his 15-year payment period. Under the merger
agreement between Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST Financial, Inc., Marion Capital
is to use its best efforts to cause Mr. Dalton to agree to receive a cash
payment as consideration for the termination of this agreement.

DIRECTORS SHAREHOLDER BENEFIT PLAN. On February 1, 2000, First Federal entered
into a Directors Shareholder Benefit Plan Agreement which provides benefits to
directors John M. Dalton, Jon R. Marler, Jerry McVicker and Steven L. Banks.
Under this plan, if the director remains in the service of First Federal until
his "Benefit Age" under the plan, he will be entitled to receive an annual
retirement benefit over a 15-year period commencing within 30 days following his
retirement or other termination of service after attaining his Benefit Age. The
retirement benefit is based on a specified percentage of the difference between
First Federal's after-tax income derived from annual increases in the cash
surrender value of a hypothetical pool of life insurance policies and the
after-tax cost of funds expense which would be incurred to acquire such
policies. If the director dies prior to attaining his Benefit Age but while in
the service of First Federal, his beneficiary will be entitled to an annual
Survivor's Benefit payable over a 15-year period commencing within 30 days of
his death.

If the director's service is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated prior to
attaining his Benefit Age for reasons other than cause, death, disability or
following a change in control, the director will receive his accrued benefit
under the plan as of the date of his termination of service, which is to be
credited with 7% annual interest per year, and is payable over a 15-year period
commencing on the first day of the month coinciding with or following the month
in which he attains his Benefit Age. If the director is terminated voluntarily
or involuntarily coincident with or following a change of control he will be
entitled to receive his annual Survivor's Benefit payable over a 15-year period
beginning on the first day of the month following his termination of service. If
the director is terminated for cause, all benefits will be forfeited by him.
There are also other specified death and disability benefits payable under the
plan.

These benefits are secured by a rabbi trust funded with insurance  policies
and other assets.  Upon a change of control of First Federal, a secular trust is
to be created and funded with the present value of the Survivor's Benefit. Under
the merger  agreement  between Marion Capital and MUTUALFIRST  Financial,  Inc.,
Marion  Capital  is to use its best  efforts  to obtain  the  consent of John M.
Dalton and Jon R. Marler to a cash payment in  consideration  for termination of
this  Plan as to  them.  As to Mr.  Banks  and Mr.  McVicker,  the  merger  with
MUTUALFIRST  Financial,  Inc.  is not to be deemed a change in  control  and the
Plan, subject to certain amendments,  is to remain in place. A secular trust has
been created for Mr. Banks and Mr. McVicker to receive annual  contributions  of
their accrual benefits under this Plan. See "Interests of Directors and Officers
that are Different from Your Interests" on page 28.

                MUTUALFIRST MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

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 and in a variety of
consumer loans. We also originate loans secured by commercial and multi-family
real estate, commercial business loans and construction loans secured primarily
by residential real estate. We are headquartered in Muncie,

                                       63

<PAGE>



Indiana and have 13 retail offices primarily serving Delaware, Randolph and
Kosciusko counties in Indiana. We also originate mortgage loans in contiguous
counties and we originate indirect consumer loans throughout Indiana and western
Ohio.

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 noninterest income and expenses and income tax expense.

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 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:

     o    CONTINUING AS A DIVERSIFIED LENDER. We have been successful in
          diversifying our loan portfolio to reduce our reliance on any one type
          of loan. Since 1994, approximately 32% of our loan portfolio has
          consisted of consumer, multi-family and commercial real estate and
          commercial business loans.

     o    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
          three county market area. During 1999, we originated $71.3 million of
          one- to four-family residential loans.

     o    CONTINUING OUR STRONG ASSET QUALITy. Since 1994, our ratio of
          non-performing assets to total assets has not exceeded .62% and at
          December 31, 1999 this ratio was .30%.

     o    CONTINUING OUR STRONG CAPITAL POSITION. As a result of our
          conservative risk management and consistent profitability, we have
          historically maintained a strong capital position. At December 31,
          1999, our ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 17.8%.

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 are 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 risk.

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
increases in interest rates on our results of operations, we adopted asset and
liability management policies to better match the maturities and repricing

                                       64

<PAGE>



terms of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Mutual
Federal's board of directors sets and recommends our 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 consistent with our business plan and board
approved policies. The asset and liability management 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 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 or his designee 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:

     o    originate and purchase adjustable rate mortgage loans and commercial
          business loans,

     o    originate shorter-term consumer loans,

     o    manage our deposits to establish stable deposit relationships,

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

     o    limit the percentage of 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 maintain our limit on the
percentage of fixed-rate loans, in 1998, we sold $35.1 million of fixed-rate,
one- to four-family 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.

The Office of Thrift Supervision provides Mutual Federal with the information
presented in the following tables. The tables present the change in our net
portfolio value at June 30, 2000 and 1999, and December 31, 1999 and 1998 that
would occur upon an immediate change in interest rates based on Office of Thrift
Supervision assumptions, but without effect to any steps that management might
take to counteract that change.

interest rate risk of savings associations. These assumptions relate to interest
rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the market values 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 JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1999

Assets totaled $566 million at June 30, 2000, an increase from December 31, 1999
of $21.5 million for an annualized growth rate of 7.9%. This growth occurred in
net loans, up $21.9 million from year-end 1999 primarily due to a $16.8 million
increase in consumer loans. Loan growth was funded by growth of deposits and a
reduction of cash and cash equivalents.

Deposits totaled $392.8 million a June 30, 2000 an increase of $28.2 million or
an annualized rate of 15.5% from December 31, 1999. Increases in Public Entity
Deposits of $23.4 million, and increases in short-term savings and transaction
type accounts of $7 million account for this growth. Total borrowings decreased
$8.4 million to $66.5 million, as a result of the utilization of a portion of
the proceeds from the stock sale and a reduction of cash, which had been held
for Y2K purposes.

Shareholders' equity increased $2.3 million from $96.7 million at December 31,
1999 to $99 million at June 30, 2000. The increase was due to net income for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 of $3.1 million and Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(ESOP) shares earned of $152,000. Cash dividends declared of $815,000 and an
increase in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities of $103,000
partially offset these increases.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AT DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1998

GENERAL. Our total assets increased by $75 million, or 16%, to $544.5 million at
December 31, 1999 from $469.5 million at December 31, 1998. The increase was
mainly due to an increase in net loans of $44.6 million, or 11.2%, an increase
in investment securities of $16.8 million, or 66.8%, and an increase in cash for
Y2K preparation of $7.8

million, or 69%. These increases were funded primarily by an increase of $22.4
million in borrowed funds and the net proceeds of $49.9 million from our stock
offering as part of the Bank's mutual-to-stock conversion.

LOANS. Our net loan portfolio increased from $398.1 million at December 31, 1998
to $442.8 million at December 31, 1999. The increase in the loan portfolio over
this time period was due to continued strong loan demand caused by a combination
of a strong economy and low interest rates. The loan portfolio increased most in
the one- to four-family category, from $264.5 million at December 31, 1998 to
$286.6 million at December 31, 1999 and in the RV/Boat loan category from $42.7
million at December 31, 1998 to $58.0 million at December 31, 1999.

SECURITIES. Investment securities amounted to $25.2 million at December 31, 1998
and $42.0 million at December 31, 1999. The increase of $16.8 million, or 66.7%,
was primarily due to the investment of a portion of the conversion proceeds.

LIABILITIES. Our total liabilities increased $22.1 million, or 5.2%, to $447.8
million at December 31, 1999 from $425.7 million at December 31, 1998. This
increase was due primarily to an increase in borrowed funds of $22.4 million.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY. Stockholders' equity increased $52.9 million from $43.8
million at December 31, 1998 to $96.7 million at December 31, 1999. The increase
was primarily due to net proceeds from our stock offering of $49.9 million,
stock contributed to the charitable foundation of $2.2 million and net income
for 1999 of $846,000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the
unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale of $328,000.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AT DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1997

GENERAL. Our total assets increased by $10.8 million, or 2.4%, to $469.5 million
at December 31, 1998 from $458.7 million at December 31, 1997, despite the sale
of $35.1 million of loans during 1998 and the use of a portion of the proceeds
from this sale to pay down Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

LOANS. Our net loan portfolio decreased from $399.3 million at December 31, 1997
to $398.1 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease in the loan portfolio over
this time period was due to the sale of $35.1 million of one- to four-family
fixed-rate long term loans during the year for asset/liability management
purposes. Loan origination volume for 1998 exceeded volume for 1997 by $47.3
million.

SECURITIES. Investment securities amounted to $22.5 million at December 31,
1997, and $25.2 million at December 31, 1998. The increase of $2.7 million, or
11.9%, was primarily a result of the reinvestment of some of the proceeds from
the loan sales discussed above.

LIABILITIES. Our total liabilities increased $6.7 million, or 1.6%, to $425.7
million at December 31, 1998 from $419.0 million at December 31, 1997. This
increase was due primarily to an increase in deposits of $21.1 million,
partially due to aggressively marketing our money market accounts. In November
1997, we acquired $14.1 million in deposits and an insignificant amount of loans
and other assets as part of an acquisition of a branch facility of another bank
in Albany, Indiana. This increase was partially offset by a $13.8 million
decrease in borrowed funds, which were paid off through the proceeds from the
loan sales.

EQUITY.  Total equity  amounted to $43.8  million,  or 9.3% of total assets,  at
December 31, 1998 and $39.7  million,  or 8.7% of total assets,  at December 31,
1997. This increase in equity was due to continued profitable operations.

RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and
interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. For each category of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to
(1) changes in volume, which are changes in volume multiplied by the old rate,
and (2) changes in rate, which are changes in rate multiplied by the old volume.
Changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have
been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to
rate.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND
1999

Net income was $3.1 million or 57 cents for both basic and diluted earnings per
share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. This compared to net income
for the comparable period in 1999 of $1.9 million. The increase in earnings was
primarily due to an increase in net interest income partially offset by an
increase in non-interest expenses and income tax expense. The annualized return
on average assets was 1.12% and .80% for the six-month period ended June 30,
2000, and 1999, respectively.

Interest income increased $2.7 million, or 16.2%, from $16.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 to $19.4 million for the same period in 2000.
Interest expense increased $470,000, or 5.1%, from $9.3 million for the
six-months ended June 30, 1999 to $9.7 million the same period in 2000. As a
result, net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased
$2.2 million, or 29.4%, compared to the same period in 1999. The increase in net
interest income was due primarily to a $46.3 million increase in the average
outstanding balance of loans receivable and a $20.2 million increase in the
average outstanding balance of investment securities available for sale. The
increase in average loans outstanding was due to increased loan demand. The
increase in investment securities available for sale was from proceeds received
in conjunction with MUTUALFIRST's stock issuance. Net proceeds of the stock
issuance after cost, and excluding the shares issued for the ESOP, were $49.9
million. Also, the net interest rate spread increased to 3.24% for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 from 3.22% during the same period in 1999.

MUTUALFIRST's provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2000
was $324,000, compared to $380,000 for the same period in 1999. Mutual Federal
reviews all loans on an individual basis when the loan reaches 90 days past due,
at which point they are put on non-accrual status.

Non-interest income increased $400,000, or 30.5%, for the six months ended June
30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999 primarily due to transaction
account growth resulting in an increase in service fee income and commissions of
$268,000 and a gain of $25,000 on net trading account activity compared to a
trading loss of $75,000 for the six months ended June 30,1999.

Non-interest expense increased $900,000, or 16.1%, for the six months ended June
30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999. Salaries and employee benefits
were $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $3.2
million for the 1999 period, an increase of $500,000, or 15.6%. This increase
resulted primarily from $152,000 of compensation expense related to the ESOP,
and the additions to staffing for a new in-store branch opened in 1999. In
addition, both the commercial and consumer lending staffs were expanded. Other
expenses also increased $391,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000,
compared to the same period in 1999. The increase in other expenses resulted
from nominal increases in a variety of expense categories. These increases were
partially offset by a $58,000 decrease in deposit insurance expense from the six
months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999 due to a rate
reduction.

Income tax expense increased $605,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to the same period in 1999. The increase was a result of increased
taxable income for the period.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND
1998

GENERAL. Net income for year ended December 31, 1999 decreased $3.3 million to
$846,000 compared to $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The
decline in net income was primarily due to a one-time nonrecurring $4.5 million
contribution to the Mutual Federal Savings Bank Charitable Foundation, Inc. made
in connection with the stock conversion.

NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income increased $786,000, or 5.3%, to $15.6
million for 1999 from $14.8 million for 1998 reflecting a $448,000 or 2.3%
decrease in interest expense and a $338,000 or 1% increase in interest income.
Our interest rate spread increased to 3.24% for 1999 from 3.21% for 1998. In
addition, the ratio of average interest earning assets to average interest
bearing liabilities decreased to 104.05% for 1999 from 104.56% for 1998.


                                       71

<PAGE>

INTEREST INCOME. The increase in interest income during the year ended December
31, 1999 was due to an increase in the average balance of interest earning
assets partially offset by a lower yield. The average balance of the loan
portfolio increased $22.6 million or 5.7% to $422.6 million for 1999 from $400
million for 1998 due to continued strong loan demand. The average yield on our
loan portfolio decreased from 8.12% in 1998 to 7.75% in 1999 primarily due to
continued refinancing activity resulting from lower market rates of interest.

INTEREST EXPENSE. The decrease in interest expense during the year ended
December 31, 1999 was primarily due to a reduction in the average rate paid on
deposits and borrowed funds from 4.76% in 1998 to 4.38% in 1999. This was
partially offset by an increase in the average balances of borrowings and
deposits from $413.6 million in 1998 to $439.2 million in 1999.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the provision
for loan losses amounted to $760,000 compared to a provision for loan losses in
1998 of $1.3 million. The decrease was primarily due to a $500,000 provision for
loans in litigation in 1998 with no corresponding provision in 1999.

OTHER INCOME. Other income amounted to $2.9 million and $3.4 million for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. For the year 1999, service
charges and fee income was $1.7 million compared to $1.5 million for 1998
representing an increase of $200,000 or 13.3%. This increase was primarily due
to higher fees collected as a result of increased volumes in checking account
activity. Net gains on loan sales in 1998 were $806,000; there were no loan
sales in 1999.

OTHER EXPENSES. Exclusive of the $4.5 million contribution to the foundation,
total operating expenses increased to $12.2 million for 1999 compared to $10.8
million for year 1998 representing an increase of $1.4 million or 13%. This
increase was primarily attributed to a $1.1 million increase in salaries and
employee benefits due to a full year of expense for the employee stock ownership
plan in the fourth quarter, an increased bank-wide incentive bonus, increased
retirement benefit cost and staff expansion in branches and business banking
activity. Additionally, equipment expenses increased to $829,000 for 1999 from
$613,000 for 1998 primarily due to a change in the estimated useful life of
certain data processing equipment.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense decreased $1.9 million, or 93.3%, from
1998 to 1999. This variation in income tax expense is directly related to
taxable income and the low income housing income tax credits earned during those
years. The effective tax rate was 14% and 33.1% for 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The effective rate declined in 1999 as compared to 1998 because the low-income
housing income tax credits remained relatively constant while the level of
income declined. The effective tax rate is expected to increase in future
periods.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND
1997

GENERAL. We reported net income of $4.1 million for the years ended December 31,
1998 and 1997.

NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income decreased $219,000, or 1.5%, to $14.8
million for 1998 from $15.0 million for 1997, reflecting a $608,000, or 3.2%,
increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $389,000, or 1.1%, increase
in interest income. Our interest rate spread decreased to 3.21% for 1998 from
3.34% for 1997. In addition, the ratio of average interest-earning assets to
average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 104.6% for 1998 from 105.2%
for 1997.

INTEREST INCOME. The increase in interest income during the year ended December
31, 1998 was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of
interest-earning assets offset by a lower yield. The average balance of the loan
portfolio increased $10.3 million, or 2.6%, to $400.0 million for 1998 from
$389.7 for 1997, due to increased loan demand. The average yield earned on our
loan portfolio decreased from 8.27% in 1997 to 8.12% in 1998, primarily due to
refinancing activity resulting from a general decrease in market rates of
interest.

INTEREST EXPENSE. The increase in interest expense during the year ended
December 31, 1998 was primarily due to the increase of $21.1 million, or 6.3%,
in the average balance of deposits, primarily due to the acquisition of $14.0
million in deposits at the end of 1997. This was partially offset by a decrease
in the average balance of borrowings. The average rate paid on deposits
increased slightly from 4.57% in 1997 to 4.59% in 1998, due to an increase in
the

                                       72

<PAGE>

average rate paid on certificate accounts. The average rate paid on borrowings
decreased from 5.98% in 1997 to 5.88% in 1998.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the provision
for loan losses amounted to $1.3 million compared to a provision for loan losses
in 1997 of $700,000. The increase was primarily due to a $500,000 provision for
loans in litigation.

OTHER INCOME. Other income amounted to $3.4 million and $2.1 million for the
years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase consisted
primarily of a $806,000 gain from the sale of mortgage loans in 1998 compared to
a $184,000 gain in 1997, as well as a growth in transaction accounts.

OTHER EXPENSES. Other expenses increased $668,000, or 6.6%, to $10.8 million for
the year ended December 31, 1998 compared to the year ended December 31, 1997.
This increase was primarily due to a $567,000 or 10.2% increase in personnel
expenses and a $27,000 or 4.5% increase in occupancy costs resulting from the
purchase of a full service branch office late in 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND COMMITMENTS

Mutual Federal is required to maintain minimum levels of investments that
qualify as liquid assets under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations.
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, 1999, our regulatory liquidity ratio, which is our liquid assets as
a percentage of net withdrawable savings deposits with a maturity of one year or
less and current borrowings, was 9.93%. As of June 30, 2000, Mutual Federal had
liquid assets of $45.9 million and a liquidity ratio of 8.95%.

Our liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, 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 advances to leverage our capital
base and provide funds for our lending and investment activities, and to enhance
our 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, 1999, the total approved loan origination commitments outstanding amounted
to $11.0 million. At the same date, the unadvanced portion of construction loans
was $4.7 million. At December 31, 1999, unused home equity lines of credit
totaled $26.0 million and outstanding letters of credit totaled $3.6 million. As
of December 31, 1999, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or
less totaled $158.5 million, and investment and mortgage-backed securities
scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $2.1 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.

CAPITAL

Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable financial
organization, Mutual Federal actively seeks to remain a "well capitalized"
institution in accordance with regulatory standards. Total stockholders' equity
of MUTUALFIRST was $96.7 million at December 31, 1999, or 17.76% of total assets
on that date. As of December 31, 1999, Mutual Federal exceeded all capital
requirements of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Mutual Federal's regulatory
capital ratios at December 31, 1999 were as follows: core capital 13.6%; Tier I
risk-based capital, 20.7%; and total risk-based capital, 21.7%. The regulatory
capital requirements to be considered well capitalized are 5.0%, 6.0% and 10.0%,
respectively.

IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives) and hedging activities. The Statement requires an entity to
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The Statement is
effective for our financial statements for all fiscal quarters for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2001. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to
have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. These 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 acceptable performance levels.

The principal effect of inflation, as distinct from levels of interest rates, on
earnings is in the area of noninterest expense. Expense items such as employee
compensation, employee benefits and occupancy and equipment costs 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.

                             BUSINESS OF MUTUALFIRST

GENERAL

MUTUALFIRST,  is a savings and loan holding company which has as its wholly
owned  subsidiary  Mutual  Federal  Savings  Bank.  MUTUALFIRST  was  formed  in
September  1999 to become the holding  company of Mutual  Federal in  connection
with Mutual  Federal's  conversion  from mutual to stock form of organization on
December 29, 1999.

At December 31, 1999, we had total assets of $544.5 million, deposits of $364.6
million and stockholders' equity of $96.7 million. Our executive offices are
located at 110 E. Charles Street, Muncie, Indiana 47305-2400.

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 and a variety of
consumer loans. We also originate loans secured by commercial and multi-family
real estate, commercial business loans and construction loans secured primarily
by residential real estate.

Our revenues are derived principally from interest on loans and interest on
investments and mortgage-backed securities.

We offer deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms, which
generally include passbook and statement savings accounts, money market deposit
accounts, NOW and non-interest bearing checking accounts and certificates of
deposit with terms ranging from seven days to 71 months. We solicit deposits in
our market areas and we have not accepted brokered deposits.

MARKET AREAS

We are a community-oriented financial institution offering a variety of
financial services to meet the needs of the communities we serve. We are
headquartered in Muncie, Indiana and have 13 retail offices primarily serving
Delaware, Randolph and Kosciusko counties in Indiana. We also originate mortgage
loans in contiguous counties and we originate indirect consumer loans throughout
Indiana and western Ohio. See "-- Lending Activities -- Consumer and Other
Lending."

LENDING ACTIVITIES

GENERAL. Our mortgage loans carry either a fixed or an adjustable rate of
interest. Mortgage loans are generally long-term and amortize on a monthly basis
with principal and interest due each month. At December 31, 1999, our net loan
portfolio totaled $442.8 million, which constituted 81.3% of our total assets.

Mortgage loans up to $240,000 may be approved by individual officers. Any
mortgage loan over this amount but not over $300,000 must be approved by the
Muncie area committee. Individual loan officers may approve multi-family and
commercial real estate loans up to $250,000, with authority up to $500,000 with
the approval of two senior officers. Mortgage loans over $300,000, multi-family
and commercial real estate loans over $500,000 and any loans, regardless of
amount, outside our general guidelines, must be approved by Mutual Federal's
board of directors.

At December 31, 1999, the maximum amount which we could lend to any one borrower
and the borrower's related entities was approximately $11.2 million. At December
31, 1999, our largest lending relationship to a single borrower or a group of
related borrowers consisted of ten loans to a local developer/entrepreneur and
related entities totaling $3.8 million. Although the relationship dates back to
1980, 87.4% of the outstanding debt has been originated since June 30, 1998, and
consists of refinancing existing debt. The loans are diverse and are secured by
apartment complexes, medical facilities and a bank branch, each with independent
income streams to support debt service requirements. Each of the loans to this
group of borrowers was current and performing in accordance with its terms at
December 31, 1999.

The total amount of loans due after December 31, 2000 which have predetermined
interest rates is $296.7 million, while the total amount of loans due after such
date which have floating or adjustable interest rates is $140.1 million.

ONE- TO FOUR-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING. We focus our lending
efforts primarily on the origination of loans secured by first mortgages on
owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences in our market areas. At December
31, 1999, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaled $286.6 million,
or 63.7% of our gross loan portfolio.

We generally underwrite our one- to four-family loans based on the applicant's
employment and credit history and the appraised value of the subject property.
Presently, we lend up to 100% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase
price for one- to four-family residential loans. For loans with a loan-to-value
ratio in excess of 80%, we generally require private mortgage insurance in order
to reduce our exposure to below 80%. Properties securing our one- to four-family
loans are appraised by independent state licensed fee appraisers approved by
Mutual Federal's board of directors. We require borrowers to obtain title and
hazard insurance, and flood insurance, if necessary, in an amount not less than
the value of the property improvements.

We originate one- to four-family mortgage loans on either a fixed- or
adjustable-rate basis, as consumer demand dictates. Our pricing strategy for
mortgage loans includes setting interest rates that are competitive with Freddie
Mac and other local financial institutions, and consistent with our internal
needs. Adjustable-rate mortgage, or ARM, loans are offered with a six-month,
one-year, three-year, five-year or seven-year term to the initial repricing
date. After the initial period, the interest rate for each ARM loan adjusts
consistently with the initial term for the six-month, one-year and three-year
terms, respectively, and annually for the five-year and seven-year terms, for
the remainder of the term of the loan. We use the weekly average of the
appropriate term Treasury Bill Constant Maturity Index to reprice our ARM loans.
During fiscal 1999, we originated $23 million of one- to four-family ARM loans
and $48.3 million of one- to four-family fixed rate mortgage loans. Also during
1999, we bought $3.3 million of one- to four- family ARM loans that conform to
our underwriting standards to help reduce our interest rate risk exposure.
During fiscal 1998, we originated $19.8 million of one- to four-family ARM
loans, and $96.7 million of one- to four-family fixed-rate mortgage loans.

Fixed-rate loans secured by one- to four-family residences have contractual
maturities of up to 30 years, and are generally fully amortizing, with payments
due monthly. These loans normally remain outstanding, however, for a
substantially shorter period of time because of refinancing and other
prepayments. A significant change in interest rates could alter considerably the
average life of a residential loan in our portfolio. Our one- to four-family
loans are generally not assumable, do not contain prepayment penalties and do
not permit negative amortization of principal. Most are written using
underwriting guidelines which make them saleable in the secondary market. Our
real estate loans generally contain a "due on sale" clause allowing us to
declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon the sale of the
security property.

Our one- to four-family residential ARM loans are fully amortizing loans with
contractual maturities of up to 30 years, with payments due monthly. Our ARM
loans generally provide for specified minimum and maximum interest rates, with a
lifetime cap and floor, and a periodic adjustment on the interest rate over the
rate in effect on the date of origination. As a consequence of using caps, the
interest rates on these loans may not be as rate sensitive as is our cost of
funds. We offer a one-year ARM loan that is convertible into a fixed-rate loan.
When these loans convert, they are usually sold in the secondary market.

In order to remain competitive in our market areas, we originate ARM loans at
initial rates below the fully indexed rate.

ARM loans generally pose different credit risks than fixed-rate loans, primarily
because as interest rates rise, the borrower's payment rises, increasing the
potential for default. We have not experienced difficulty with the payment
history for these loans. See "-- Asset Quality -- Non-performing Assets" and "--
Classified Assets." At December 31, 1999, our one- to four-family ARM loan
portfolio totaled $178 million, or 39.6% of our gross loan portfolio. At that
date, the fixed-rate one- to four-family mortgage loan portfolio totaled $108.6
million, or 24.1% of our gross loan portfolio.

MULTI-FAMILY AND COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING. We offer a variety of
multi-family and commercial real estate loans. These loans are secured primarily
by  multi-family  dwellings,  small  retail  establishments,  churches and small
office buildings located in our market areas. At December 31, 1999, multi-family
and  commercial  real estate loans totaled $20.1  million,  or 4.5% of our gross
loan portfolio.

Our loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate are originated with
either a fixed or adjustable interest rate. The interest rate on adjustable-rate
loans is based on a variety of indices, generally determined through negotiation
with the borrower. Loan-to-value ratios on our multi-family and commercial real
estate loans typically do not exceed 80% of the appraised value of the property
securing the loan. These loans typically require monthly payments, may not be
fully amortizing and have maximum maturities of 20 years.

Loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate are underwritten based
on the income producing potential of the property and the financial strength of
the borrower. The net operating income, which is the income derived from the
operation of the property less all operating expenses, must be sufficient to
cover the payments related to the outstanding debt. We generally require
personal guarantees of the borrowers in addition to the security property as
collateral for such loans. We also generally require an assignment of rents or
leases in order to be assured that the cash flow from the project will be used
to repay the debt. Appraisals on properties securing multi-family and commercial
real estate loans are performed by independent state licensed fee appraisers
approved by Mutual Federal's board of directors. See "-- Loan Originations,
Purchases, Sales and Repayments."

We generally do not maintain a tax or insurance escrow account for loans secured
by multi-family and commercial real estate. In order to monitor the adequacy of
cash flows on income-producing properties, the borrower is requested or required
to provide periodic financial information.

Loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate are generally larger
and involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family residential
mortgage loans. Multi-family and commercial real estate loans typically involve
large balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Because
payments on loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate are often
dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, repayment
of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or
the economy. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, or if leases are not
obtained or renewed, the borrower's ability to repay the loan may be impaired.
See "-- Asset Quality -- Non-performing Assets."

CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT LENDING. We originate construction loans primarily
secured by existing residential building lots. We make construction loans to
builders and to individuals for the construction of their residences.
Substantially all of these loans are secured by properties located within our
market areas. At December 31, 1999, we had $12.5 million in construction and
development loans outstanding, representing 2.8% of our gross loan portfolio.

Construction and development loans are obtained through continued business with
builders who have previously borrowed from us, from walk-in customers and
through referrals from realtors and architects. The application process includes
submission of accurate plans, specifications and costs of the project to be
constructed. These items are used to determine the appraised value of the
subject property. Loans are based on the lesser of the current appraised value
and/or the cost of construction, including the land and the building. We
generally conduct regular inspections of the construction project being
financed.

Construction loans for one- to four-family homes are generally granted with a
construction period of up to one year. During the construction phase, the
borrower generally pays interest only on a monthly basis. Loans to individuals
for the construction of their residences are construction/permanent loans, which
automatically convert to a long term mortgage consistent with our one- to
four-family residential loan products. Loan-to-value ratios on our construction
and development loans typically do not exceed 80% of the appraised value of the
project on an as completed basis. Single family construction loans with
loan-to-value ratios over 80% require private mortgage insurance.

Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating construction and development
costs and the market for the project upon completion, it is difficult to
evaluate accurately the total loan funds required to complete a project, the
related loan-to-value ratios and the likelihood of ultimate success of the
project. These loans also involve many of

                                       82

<PAGE>



the same risks discussed above regarding multi-family and commercial real estate
loans and tend to be more sensitive to general economic conditions than many
other types of loans. In addition, payment of interest from loan proceeds can
make it difficult to monitor the progress of a project.

CONSUMER AND OTHER LENDING. Consumer loans generally have shorter terms to
maturity, which reduces our exposure to changes in interest rates, and carry
higher rates of interest than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. In
addition, management believes that offering consumer loan products helps to
expand and create stronger ties to our customer base by increasing the number of
customer relationships and providing cross-marketing opportunities. At December
31, 1999, our consumer loan portfolio totaled $119.9 million, or 26.7% of our
gross loan portfolio. We offer a variety of secured consumer loans, including
home equity loans and lines of credit, home improvement loans, auto loans, boat
and recreational vehicle loans, manufactured housing loans and loans secured by
savings deposits. We also offer a limited amount of unsecured loans. We
originate our consumer loans both in our market areas and throughout Indiana and
western Ohio.

At December 31, 1999, our home equity loans, including lines of credit, and home
improvement loans totaled $25.2 million, or 5.6% of our gross loan portfolio.
These loans may be originated in amounts, together with the amount of the
existing first mortgage, of up to 100% of the value of the property securing the
loan. The term to maturity on our home equity and home improvement loans may be
up to 15 years. Home equity lines of credit have a maximum term to maturity of
20 years and require the payment of 2% of the outstanding loan balance per
month, which amount may be reborrowed at any time. Other consumer loan terms
vary according to the type of collateral, length of contract and
creditworthiness of the borrower.

We directly and indirectly originate auto loans, boat and recreational vehicle
loans and manufactured housing loans. We generally buy indirect auto loans on a
rate basis, paying the dealer a cash payment for loans with an interest rate in
excess of the rate we require. This premium is amortized over the remaining life
of the loan. Any prepayments or delinquencies are charged to future amounts owed
to that dealer, with no dealer reserve or other guarantee of payment if the
dealer stops doing business with us.

We underwrite indirect auto loans using the Fair-Isaacs credit scoring system.
We have experienced some difficulty in building the volume of our indirect auto
loan portfolio due to our willingness to accept only the more qualified buyers
based on our scoring. We also directly originate auto loans through bank
personnel. These loans are underwritten more traditionally, with a review of the
borrower's employment and credit history and an assessment of the borrower's
ability to repay the loan.

At December 31, 1999, auto loans totaled $19.9 million, or 4.4% of our gross
loan portfolio. Auto loans may be written for up to six years and usually have
fixed rates of interest. Loan to value ratios are up to 100% of the sale price
for new autos and 110% of value on used cars, based on valuation from official
used car guides.

Our boat and recreational vehicle loans are generally originated on an indirect
basis. We utilize an independent company to market our loan products and help
service and collect our boat and RV loans, keeping down our marketing,
collection and related personnel costs. We pay a fee based on a percentage of
the loan amounts originated through this company as well as monthly service
fees, for these services. We pay dealers a premium for each loan based on the
interest rate charged on each loan. We amortize this premium, which is usually
significantly smaller than the premium we pay dealers for our indirect auto
loans, over the estimated life of each loan.

For our two largest boat and RV dealers, we pay for each loan on a rate basis,
just as with our indirect auto loans. With these two dealers, however, we pay
only a portion of the cash payment due, holding back a reserve in a Mutual
Federal savings account. This dealer holdback is released to the dealer pro-rata
over the life of the loan.

We underwrite indirect boat and RV loans using the Fair-Isaacs credit scoring
system and, as with our indirect auto loans, tend to accept only the more
qualified buyers based on our scoring.

Loans for boats and recreational vehicles totaled $58 million at December 31,
1999, or 12.9% of our gross loan portfolio. This has been the fastest growing
portion of our consumer loan portfolio over the past five years. We will finance
up to 100% of the purchase price for a new recreational vehicle and 95% for a
new boat. The

                                       83

<PAGE>



maximum loan to value ratio is 100% for used recreational vehicles and 95% for
boats. Values are based on the applicable official used vehicle guides. The term
to maturity for these types of loans is up to 10 years for used boats and
recreational vehicles and up to 15 years for new boats and recreational
vehicles. These loans are generally written with fixed rates of interest.

At December 31, 1999, manufactured housing loans totaled $12.3 million, or 2.7%
of our gross loan portfolio. This amount has decreased significantly over the
last five years, due to increased competition and regulatory restrictions.
Manufactured housing loans are offered at fixed or adjustable rates of interest
for terms up to 25 years, and at a maximum loan to value ratio of 95%.

Consumer loans may entail greater risk than one- to four-family residential
mortgage loans, especially consumer loans secured by rapidly depreciable assets,
such as automobiles, boats and recreational vehicles. In these cases, any
repossessed collateral for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source
of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. As a result, consumer loan
collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability and,
thus, are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or
personal bankruptcy.

COMMERCIAL BUSINESS LENDING. At December 31, 1999, commercial business loans
totaled $10.8 million, or 2.4% of our gross loan portfolio. Most of our
commercial business loans have been extended to finance local businesses and
include short term loans to finance machinery and equipment purchases, inventory
and accounts receivable. Commercial business loans also involve the extension of
revolving credit for a combination of equipment acquisitions and working capital
needs and agricultural purposes such as seed, farm equipment and livestock.

The terms of loans extended on the security of machinery and equipment are based
on the projected useful life of the machinery and equipment, generally not to
exceed seven years. Lines of credit generally are available to borrowers for up
to 13 months, and may be renewed by us. We issue a few standby letters of credit
which are offered at competitive rates and terms and are generally on a secured
basis. We are attempting to expand our volume of commercial business loans.

Our commercial business lending policy includes credit file documentation and
analysis of the borrower's background, capacity to repay the loan, the adequacy
of the borrower's capital and collateral as well as an evaluation of other
conditions affecting the borrower. Analysis of the borrower's past, present and
future cash flows also is an important aspect of our credit analysis. We
generally obtain personal guarantees on our commercial business loans.
Nonetheless, these loans are believed to carry higher credit risk than
traditional single family loans.

Unlike residential mortgage loans, commercial business loans are typically made
on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash flow of
the borrower's business. As a result, the availability of funds for the
repayment of commercial business loans may substantially depend on the success
of the business itself (which, in turn, often depends in part upon general
economic conditions). Our commercial business loans are usually, but not always,
secured by business assets. However, the collateral securing the loans may
depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value
based on the success of the business.

LOAN ORIGINATIONS, PURCHASES, SALES AND REPAYMENTS

We originate loans through referrals from real estate brokers and builders, our
marketing efforts, and our existing and walk-in customers. We also originate
many of our consumer loans through relationships with dealerships. While we
originate both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans, our ability to originate
loans depends upon customer demand for loans in our market areas. Demand is
affected by local competition and the interest rate environment. During the last
several years, due to low market interest rates, our dollar volume of
fixed-rate, one- to four-family loans has exceeded the dollar volume of the same
type of adjustable-rate loans. From time to time, we sell fixed rate, one- to
four-family residential loans. We have also, on a very limited basis, purchased
one- to four-family residential and commercial real estate loans. Furthermore,
during the past few years, we, like many other financial institutions, have
experienced significant prepayments on loans due to the low interest rate
environment prevailing in the United States.

In periods of economic uncertainty, the ability of financial institutions,
including us, to originate or purchase large dollar volumes of real estate loans
may be substantially reduced or restricted, with a resultant decrease in
interest income.

The following table shows our loan origination, purchase, sale and repayment
activities for the years indicated.

ASSET QUALITY

When a borrower fails to make a payment on a mortgage loan on or before the
default date, a late charge notice is mailed 16 days after the due date. When
the loan is 31 days past due (16 days for an ARM), we mail a delinquency notice
to the borrower. All delinquent accounts are reviewed by a collector, who
attempts to cure the delinquency by contacting the borrower once the loan is 30
days past due. If the loan becomes 60 days delinquent, the collector will
generally contact the borrower by phone or send a letter to the borrower in
order to identify the reason for the delinquency. Once the loan becomes 90 days
delinquent, the borrower is asked to pay the delinquent amount in full, or
establish an acceptable repayment plan to bring the loan current. Between 100
and 120 days delinquent a drive- by inspection is made. If the account becomes
120 days delinquent, and an acceptable repayment plan has not been agreed upon,
a collection officer will generally refer the account to legal counsel, with
instructions to prepare a notice of intent to foreclose. The notice of intent to
foreclose allows the borrower up to 30 days to bring the account current. During
this 30 day period, the collector may accept a written repayment plan from the
borrower which would bring the account current within the next 90 days. If the
loan becomes 150 days delinquent and an acceptable repayment plan has not been
agreed upon, the collection officer will turn over the account to our legal
counsel with instructions to initiate foreclosure.

For consumer loans, a similar process is followed, with the initial written
contact being made once the loan is 16 days past due. Follow-up contacts are
generally made faster than under the mortgage loan procedure.

DELINQUENT LOANS. The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 1999, our
loans delinquent 60 - 89 days by type, number, amount and percentage of type.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS. The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of
non-performing assets in our loan portfolio at the dates indicated. Loans are
placed on non-accrual status when the loan becomes more than 90 days delinquent.
At all dates presented, we had no troubled debt restructurings which involve
forgiving a portion of interest or principal on any loans or making loans at a
rate materially less than that of market rates. Foreclosed assets owned include
assets acquired in settlement of loans.

</TABLE>

For the year ended December 31, 1999, gross interest income which would have
been recorded had the non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their
original terms amounted to $33,500. No amount was included in interest income on
these loans for the year ended December 31, 1999.

At December 31, 1997, foreclosed commercial real estate consisted of two
properties acquired during 1997 from a troubled debtor. The properties,
comprised of a 50 unit apartment building and a food pantry, were sold in 1998.

At December 31, 1999, foreclosed commercial real estate consisted of one
property acquired in the last half of the year from a troubled debtor. The
property, an office building in Muncie, is currently being offered for sale. In
addition, three residential properties acquired in 1999 from troubled debtors,
one with a book value of $210,000, were being offered for sale.

OTHER LOANS OF CONCERN. In addition to the non-performing assets set forth in
the table above, as of December 31, 1999, there was an aggregate of $1.3 million
in loans with respect to which known information about the possible credit
problems of the borrowers have caused management to have doubts as to the
abilities of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and which
may result in the future inclusion of such items in the non-performing asset
categories. These loans have been considered in management's determination of
the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses.

Included in the $1.3 million above are several residential mortgage loans which
were obtained from a mortgage broker in 1998. In July 1998, the broker filed for
bankruptcy. Shortly before that, we discovered that there were documentation
problems with these loans.

On four of these loans, totaling approximately $759,000, the broker failed to
pay off and secure a release of the original mortgage loans we refinanced. As a
result, none of these loans was fully performing because the borrowers refused
to make double loan payments to satisfy both our loan and the loan they thought
they had refinanced. We have since bought out the first lien position for two of
these loans.

A fifth loan, totaling approximately $157,000, had a similar issue, but we have
been informed that the broker subsequently paid sufficient funds to satisfy the
prior lienholder's balance, although the prior lien has not yet been released.
This loan was current as of December 31, 1999.

The two other loans at issue, totaling approximately $793,000, were both current
as of December 31, 1999. On one, our lien position is currently behind that of
three other financial institutions. On the other, the mortgage broker failed to
assign the mortgage to us.

We are working with two other lenders, in similar situations with the mortgage
broker, in order to obtain a release of assets from the bankruptcy trustee. In
addition, we have filed a claim with our insurance carrier, although to date the
carrier has denied coverage.

This situation has been considered in determining our allowance for loan losses.
A portion of the provision in 1998 was attributable to these loans, and two
loans, totaling $346,000, were charged-off during 1998. Based on the information
available, significant additional losses are not anticipated at this time.
Changes in circumstances or adverse actions by the bankruptcy court could,
however, result in additional losses.

CLASSIFIED ASSETS. Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans
and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered by the Office of
Thrift Supervision to be of lesser quality, as "substandard," "doubtful" or
"loss." An asset is considered "substandard" if it is inadequately protected by
the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral
pledged, if any. "Substandard" assets include those characterized by the
"distinct possibility" that the insured institution will sustain "some loss" if
the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as "doubtful" have all of
the weaknesses inherent in those classified "substandard," with the added
characteristic that the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in
full," on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, "highly
questionable and improbable." Assets classified as "loss" are those considered
"uncollectible" and of such little value that their continuance as assets
without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or
doubtful, it may establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount
deemed prudent by management and approved by the board of directors. General
allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize
the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific
allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When an
insured institution classifies problem assets as "loss," it is required either
to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of
the asset so classified or to charge off such amount. An institution's
determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its
valuation allowances is subject to review by the Office of Thrift Supervision
and the FDIC, which may order the establishment of additional general or
specific loss allowances.

In connection with the filing of Mutual Federal's periodic reports with the
Office of Thrift Supervision and in accordance with our classification of assets
policy, we regularly review the problem assets in our portfolio to determine
whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable
regulations. On the basis of management's review, at December 31, 1999, we had
classified $1.9 million of Mutual Federal's assets as substandard, $913,000 as
doubtful and $90,000 as loss. The total amount classified represented 3% of our
equity capital and .5% of our assets at December 31, 1999.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. We recorded a provision for loan losses during the
year ended December 31, 1999 of $760,000, compared to $1.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 1998 and $700,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The
provision for loan losses is charged to income to bring our allowance for loan
losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on the factors
discussed below under "-- Allowance for Loan Losses." The provision for loan
losses during the year ended December 31, 1999 was based on management's review
of such factors which indicated that the allowance for loan losses was adequate
to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of December 31, 1999.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. We maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb
losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on ongoing,
quarterly assessments of the estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of
several key elements, which include the formula allowance, specific allowances
for identified problem loans and portfolio segments and the unallocated
allowance. In addition, the allowance incorporates the results of measuring
impaired loans as provided in SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." These accounting standards
prescribe the measurement methods, income recognition and disclosures related to
impaired loans.

The formula allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding
loans based on the internal risk evaluation of such loans or pools of loans.
Changes in risk evaluations of both performing and nonperforming loans affect
the amount of the formula allowance. Loss factors are based on our historical
loss experience as well as on significant factors that, in management's
judgment, affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.

The appropriateness of the allowance is reviewed by management based upon its
evaluation of then-existing economic and business conditions affecting our key
lending areas and other conditions, such as credit quality trends (including
trends in nonperforming loans expected to result from existing conditions),
collateral values, loan volumes and concentrations, specific industry conditions
within portfolio segments and recent loss experience in particular segments of
the portfolio that existed as of the balance sheet date and the impact that such
conditions were believed to have had on the collectibility of the loan. Senior
management reviews these conditions quarterly in discussions with our senior
credit officers. To the extent that any of these conditions is evidenced by a
specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the
evaluation date, management's estimate of the effect of such condition may be
reflected as a specific allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio
segment. Where any of these conditions is not evidenced by a specifically
identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date,
management's evaluation of the loss related to this condition is reflected in
the unallocated allowance. The evaluation of the inherent loss with respect to
these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they are
not identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments.

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates of losses inherent in the
loan portfolio. Actual losses can vary significantly from the estimated amounts.
Our methodology as described permits adjustments to any loss factor used in the
computation of the formula allowance in the event that, in management's
judgment, significant factors which affect the collectibility of the portfolio
as of the evaluation date are not reflected in the loss factors. By assessing
the estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis, we are
able to adjust specific and inherent loss estimates based upon any more recent
information that has become available. Due to the loss of more than 1,800
manufacturing jobs in the local community during recent years and the increase
in higher risk loans, like consumer and commercial loans, as a percentage of
total loans, management has concluded that our allowance for loan losses should
be greater than historical loss experience would otherwise indicate.

At December 31, 1999, our allowance for loan losses was $3.7 million, or .82% of
the total loan portfolio, and approximately 468% of total non-performing loans.
Assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is

                                       89

<PAGE>



inherently subjective as it requires making material estimates, including the
amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired
loans, that are susceptible to significant change. In the opinion of management,
the allowance, when taken as a whole, is adequate to absorb reasonable estimated
loan losses inherent in our loan portfolio.

The following table sets forth an analysis of our allowance for loan losses.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

Federally chartered savings institutions may invest in various types of liquid
assets, including United States Treasury obligations, securities of various
federal agencies, including callable agency securities, certain certificates of
deposit of insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers' acceptances,
repurchase agreements and federal funds. Subject to various restrictions,
federally chartered savings institutions also may invest in investment grade
commercial paper and corporate debt securities and mutual funds the assets of
which conform to the investments that a federally chartered savings institution
is otherwise authorized to make directly. See "- How We Are Regulated - Mutual
Federal" and "- Qualified Thrift Lender Test" for a discussion of additional
restrictions on our investment activities.

The Chief Financial Officer has the basic responsibility for the management of
our investment portfolio, subject to the direction and guidance of the asset and
liability management committee. The Chief Financial Officer considers various
factors when making decisions, including the marketability, maturity and tax
consequences of the proposed investment. The maturity structure of investments
will be affected by various market conditions, including the current and
anticipated slope of the yield curve, the level of interest rates, the trend of
new deposit inflows, and the anticipated demand for funds via deposit
withdrawals and loan originations and purchases.

The general objectives of our investment portfolio are to provide liquidity when
loan demand is high, to assist in maintaining earnings when loan demand is low
and to maximize earnings while satisfactorily managing risk, including credit
risk, reinvestment risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. See
"MUTUALFIRST's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk".

Our investment securities currently consist of U.S. Government and Agency
securities, mortgage-backed securities, marketable equity securities (which
consist of shares in mutual funds that invest in government obligations,
corporate obligations and mortgage-backed securities) and corporate obligations.
See Note 4 of the Notes to MUTUALFIRST's Consolidated Financial Statements. Our
mortgage-backed securities portfolio currently consists of securities issued
under government-sponsored agency programs.

While mortgage-backed securities carry a reduced credit risk as compared to
whole loans, these securities remain subject to the risk that a fluctuating
interest rate environment, along with other factors like the geographic
distribution of the underlying mortgage loans, may alter the prepayment rate of
the mortgage loans and affect both the prepayment speed and value of the
securities.

At times over the past several years, we also have maintained a trading
portfolio of U.S. Government securities. Our trading portfolio totaled $1.2
million at December 31, 1999. We are permitted by the board of directors to have
a portfolio of up to $5.0 million, and to trade up to $2.0 million in these
securities at any one time. See Note 4 of the Notes to MUTUALFIRST's
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Mutual Federal has investments in four separate Indiana limited partnerships
that were organized to construct, own and operate three multi-unit apartment
complexes in the Indianapolis area and one in Findley, Ohio (the Pedcor
Projects). The general partner in each of these Pedcor Projects is Pedcor
Investments. We have no financial or other relationships with Pedcor
Investments. The three Indianapolis area Pedcor Projects, which are operated as
multi-family, low and moderate-income housing projects, have been completed and
have been performing as planned for several years. The Findley, Ohio Pedcor
Project, which also will be operated as a multi-family, low and moderate-income
housing project, is near completion. At the inception of the Findley, Ohio
Pedcor Project in February 1998, we invested $2.1 million and committed to
invest an additional $1.9 million, as of December 31, 1999, of which $1.8
million remained payable over the next ten years.

A low and moderate-income housing project qualifies for certain federal income
tax credits if (1) it is a residential rental property, (2) the units are used
on a non-transient basis, and (3) at least 20% of the units in the project are
occupied by tenants whose incomes are 50% or less of the area median gross
income, adjusted for family size, or alternatively, at least 40% of the units in
the project are occupied by tenants whose incomes are 60% or less of the area
median gross income. Qualified low-income housing projects generally must comply
with these and other rules

                                       92

<PAGE>



for 15 years, beginning with the first year the project qualified for the tax
credit, or some or all of the tax credit together with interest may be
recaptured. The tax credit is subject to the limitation as the use of general
business credit, but no basis reduction is required for any portion of the tax
credit claimed. As of December 31, 1999, at least 90% of the units in the
Indianapolis area Pedcor Projects were occupied, and all of the tenants met the
income test required for the tax credits.

We received tax credits of $262,000 from the Indianapolis Pedcor Projects for
each of the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. Additionally, the Pedcor
Projects have incurred operating losses in the early years of their operations
primarily due to accelerated depreciation of assets. We have accounted for our
investment in three of the four Pedcor Projects on the equity method.
Accordingly, we have recorded our share of these losses as reductions to Mutual
Federal's investment in the Pedcor Projects. Mutual Federal has less than a 20%
ownership interest in the remaining Pedcor Project, and we have recorded its
investment in this project at amortized cost.

The following summarizes Mutual Federal's equity in the Pedcor Projects' losses
and tax credits recognized in our consolidated financial statements.

SOURCES OF FUNDS

GENERAL. Our sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, payment of principal and
interest  on  loans,  interest  earned  on or  maturation  of  other  investment
securities and funds provided from operations.

DEPOSITS. We offer deposit accounts to consumers and businesses having a wide
range of interest rates and terms. Our deposits consist of passbook accounts,
money market deposit accounts, NOW and demand accounts and certificates of
deposit. We solicit deposits in our market areas and have not accepted brokered
deposits. We primarily rely on competitive pricing policies, marketing and
customer service to attract and retain these deposits.

The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions,
changes in money market and prevailing interest rates, and competition. The
variety of our deposit accounts has allowed us to be competitive in obtaining
funds and to respond to changes in consumer demand. We have become more
susceptible to short-term fluctuations in deposit flows, as customers have
become more interest rate conscious. We try to manage the pricing of our
deposits in keeping with our asset/liability management, liquidity and
profitability objectives, subject to competitive factors. Based on our
experience, we believe that our deposits are relatively stable sources of funds.
Our ability to attract and maintain these deposits, however, and the rates paid
on them, has been and will continue to be affected significantly by market
conditions.

BORROWINGS. Although deposits are our primary source of funds, we may utilize
borrowings when they are a less costly source of funds and can be invested at a
positive interest rate spread, when we desire additional capacity to fund loan
demand or when they meet our asset/liability management goals. Our borrowings
historically have consisted of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Indianapolis and securities sold under agreement to repurchase. See Notes 9, 10
and 11 of the Notes to MUTUALFIRST's Consolidated Financial Statements.

We may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis upon the
security of certain of our mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. These
advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of
which has its own interest rate, range of maturities and call features. At
December 31, 1999, we had $72.3 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances
outstanding.

The following table sets forth, for the years indicated, the maximum month-end
balance and average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, securities sold

SUBSIDIARY AND OTHER ACTIVITIES

As a federally chartered savings bank, Mutual Federal is permitted by Office of
Thrift Supervision regulations to invest up to 2% of its assets, or $10.9
million at December 31, 1999, in the stock of, or unsecured loans to, service
corporation subsidiaries. Mutual Federal may invest an additional 1% of its
assets in service corporations where such additional funds are used for
inner-city or community development purposes.

At December 31, 1999, Mutual Federal had two active subsidiaries, First M.F.S.B.
Corporation and Third M.F.S.B. Corporation. First M.F.S.B. owns stock in Family
Financial Life Insurance Company, a life and accident and health insurance
company chartered in Indiana. Family Financial Life primarily sells mortgage and
credit life insurance, as well as accident and disability insurance. It also
issues and services annuity contracts. As of December 31, 1999, Mutual Federal's
total investment in this subsidiary was $718,000. For the year ended December
31, 1999, First M.F.S.B. reported net income of $83,000, which consisted of
dividends from Family Financial Life.

                                       99

<PAGE>



Third M.F.S.B., which does business as Mutual Financial Services, offers
tax-deferred annuities, long-term health and life insurance products. All
securities related products and services made available through Mutual Financial
Services are offered by a third party independent broker-dealer. As of December
31, 1999, Mutual Federal's total investment in this subsidiary was $319,000. For
the year ended December 31, 1999, Third M.F.S.B. reported net income of
$161,000, which consisted of commissions less expenses.

COMPETITION

We face strong competition in originating real estate and other loans and in
attracting deposits. Competition in originating real estate loans comes
primarily from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and
mortgage bankers. Other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions
and finance companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending.

We attract our deposits through our branch office system. Competition for
deposits comes principally from other savings institutions, commercial banks and
credit unions located in the same community, as well as mutual funds and other
alternative investments. We compete for deposits by offering superior service
and a variety of account types at competitive rates.

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 1999, we had a total of 208 employees, including 58 part-time
employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group.
Management considers its employee relations to be good.

HOW WE ARE REGULATED

Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws and regulations which
apply to us. This description, as well as other descriptions of laws and
regulations contained in this document, is not complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations.

Legislation is introduced from time to time in the United States Congress that
may affect our operations. In addition, the regulations by which we are governed
may be amended from time to time. Any such legislation or regulatory changes
could adversely affect us. We cannot assure you as to whether or in what form
any such changes will occur.

GENERAL. Mutual Federal, as a federally chartered savings institution, is
subject to federal regulation and oversight by the Office of Thrift Supervision
extending to all aspects of Mutual Federal's operations. Mutual Federal also is
subject to regulation and examination by the FDIC, which insures the deposits of
Mutual Federal to the maximum extent permitted by law, and to requirements of
the Federal Reserve Board. Federally chartered savings institutions are required
to file periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and are subject
to periodic examinations by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC. The
investment and lending authority of savings institutions are prescribed by
federal laws and regulations, and savings institutions are prohibited from
engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws and regulations. This
regulation and supervision primarily is intended for the protection of
depositors and not for the purpose of protecting shareholders.

The Office of Thrift Supervision regularly examines Mutual Federal and prepares
reports for the consideration of Mutual Federal's board of directors on any
deficiencies that it may find in Mutual Federal's operations. The FDIC also has
the authority to examine Mutual Federal in its role as the administrator of the
Savings Association Insurance Fund. Mutual Federal's relationship with its
depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by both Federal and
state laws, especially in such matters as the ownership of savings accounts and
the form and content of Mutual Federal's mortgage requirements. Any change in
these laws and regulations, whether by the FDIC, the Office of Thrift
Supervision or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on our operations.

MUTUALFIRST. Pursuant to regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision and the
terms of MUTUALFIRST's Maryland articles of incorporation, the purpose and
powers of MUTUALFIRST are to pursue any or all of the lawful objectives of a
thrift holding company and to exercise any of the powers accorded to a thrift
holding company.

                                       100

<PAGE>



If Mutual Federal fails the qualified thrift lender test, MUTUALFIRST must
obtain the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision prior to continuing,
directly or through other subsidiaries, any business activity other than those
approved for multiple thrift companies or their subsidiaries. In addition,
within one year of such failure MUTUALFIRST must register as, and will become
subject to, the restrictions applicable to bank holding companies. The
activities authorized for a bank holding company are more limited than the
activities authorized for a unitary or multiple thrift holding company. See "-
Qualified Thrift Lender Test."

MUTUAL FEDERAL. The Office of Thrift Supervision has extensive authority over
the operations of savings institutions. Mutual Federal is required to file
periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and is subject to
periodic examinations by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC. The last
regular Office of Thrift Supervision examination of Mutual Federal was as of
September 30, 1999. When these examinations are conducted by the Office of
Thrift Supervision and the FDIC, the examiners may require Mutual Federal to
provide for higher general or specific loan loss reserves. All savings
institutions are subject to a semi-annual assessment, based upon the savings
institution's total assets, to fund the operations of the Office of Thrift
Supervision. Mutual Federal's Office of Thrift Supervision assessment for the
year ended December 31, 1999 was $96,000.

The Office of Thrift Supervision also has extensive enforcement authority over
all savings institutions and their holding companies, including Mutual Federal
and MUTUALFIRST. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the
ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal
orders and to initiate injunctive actions. In general, these enforcement actions
may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound
practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement
action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with the Office of Thrift
Supervision. Except under certain circumstances, final enforcement actions by
the Office of Thrift Supervision must be publicly disclosed.

In addition, the investment, lending and branching authority of Mutual Federal
is prescribed by federal laws and it is prohibited from engaging in any
activities not permitted by such laws. For instance, no savings institution may
invest in non-investment grade corporate debt securities. In addition, the
permissible level of investment by federal institutions in loans secured by
non-residential real property may not exceed 400% of total capital, except with
approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Federal savings institutions are
also generally authorized to branch nationwide. Mutual Federal is in compliance
with the noted restrictions.

Mutual Federal's general permissible lending limit for loans-to-one-borrower is
equal to the greater of $500,000 or 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus
(except for loans fully secured by certain readily marketable collateral, in
which case this limit is increased to 25% of unimpaired capital and surplus). At
December 31, 1999, Mutual Federal's lending limit under this restriction was
$11.2 million. Mutual Federal is in compliance with the loans-to- one-borrower
limitation.

The Office of Thrift Supervision, as well as the other federal banking agencies,
has adopted guidelines establishing safety and soundness standards on such
matters as loan underwriting and documentation, asset quality, earnings
standards, internal controls and audit systems, interest rate risk exposure and
compensation and other employee benefits. Any institution which fails to comply
with these standards must submit a compliance plan.

INSURANCE OF ACCOUNTS AND REGULATION BY THE FDIC.  Mutual Federal is a member of
the Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund,  which is  administered  by the FDIC.
Deposits are insured up to the applicable  limits by the FDIC and such insurance
is backed by the full  faith and  credit of the  United  States  Government.  As
insurer,  the FDIC  imposes  deposit  insurance  premiums and is  authorized  to
conduct  examinations of and to require reporting by FDIC-insured  institutions.
It also may prohibit any FDIC-insured  institution from engaging in any activity
the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious risk to the Savings
Association  Insurance  Fund or the Bank  Insurance  Fund. The FDIC also has the
authority to initiate  enforcement actions against savings  institutions,  after
giving the Office of Thrift  Supervision an opportunity to take such action, and
may  terminate an  institution's  deposit  insurance if it  determines  that the
institution  has  engaged in unsafe or unsound  practices  or is in an unsafe or
unsound condition.


                                       101

<PAGE>



The FDIC's deposit insurance premiums are assessed through a risk-based system
under which all insured depository institutions are placed into one of nine
categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon their level of capital and
supervisory evaluation. Under the system, institutions classified as well
capitalized (i.e., a core capital ratio of at least 5%, a ratio of Tier 1 or
core capital to risk-weighted assets ("Tier 1 risk-based capital") of at least
6% and a risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%) and considered healthy pay
the lowest premium while institutions that are less than adequately capitalized
(i.e., core or Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of less than 4% or a risk-based
capital ratio of less than 8%) and considered of substantial supervisory concern
pay the highest premium. Risk classification of all insured institutions is made
by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period.

The FDIC is authorized to increase assessment rates, on a semi-annual basis, if
it determines that the reserve ratio of the Savings Association Insurance Fund
will be less than the designated reserve ratio of 1.25% of Savings Association
Insurance Fund insured deposits. In setting these increased assessments, the
FDIC must seek to restore the reserve ratio to that designated reserve level, or
such higher reserve ratio as established by the FDIC. The FDIC also may impose
special assessments on Savings Association Insurance Fund members to repay
amounts borrowed from the United States Treasury or for any other reason deemed
necessary by the FDIC.

Since January 1, 1997, the premium schedule for Bank Insurance Fund and Savings
Association Insurance Fund insured institutions has ranged from 0 to 27 basis
points. However, Savings Association Insurance Fund insured institutions are
required to pay a Financing Corporation assessment, in order to fund the
interest on bonds issued to resolve thrift failures in the 1980s. For Savings
Association Insurance Fund insured institutions, this assessment is
approximately six basis points for each $100 in domestic deposits, and for Bank
Insurance Fund insured institutions this assessment is approximately one basis
point for each $100 in domestic deposits. It is expected that the assessment
will soon be changed to two basis points for all insured institutions,
regardless of fund. The assessment, which may be revised further based upon the
level of Bank Insurance Fund and Savings Association Insurance Fund deposits,
will continue until the bonds mature in the year 2017.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. Federally insured savings institutions, such as
Mutual Federal, are required to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital.
The Office of Thrift Supervision has established capital standards, including a
tangible capital requirement, a leverage ratio or core capital requirement and a
risk-based capital requirement applicable to such savings institutions. These
capital requirements must be generally as stringent as the comparable capital
requirements for national banks. The Office of Thrift Supervision also may
impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual
institutions on a case-by-case basis.

The capital regulations require tangible capital of at least 1.5% of adjusted
total assets, as defined by regulation. Tangible capital generally includes
common stockholders' equity and retained income, and certain noncumulative
perpetual preferred stock and related income. In addition, all intangible
assets, other than a limited amount of purchased mortgage servicing rights, must
be deducted from tangible capital for calculating compliance with the
requirement. At December 31, 1999, Mutual Federal had $1.5 million of intangible
assets.

At December 31, 1999, Mutual Federal had tangible capital of $73.4 million, or
13.6% of adjusted total assets, which is approximately $65.3 million above the
minimum requirement of 1.5% of adjusted total assets in effect on that date.

The capital standards also require core capital equal to at least 3.0% of
adjusted total assets. Core capital generally consists of tangible capital plus
certain intangible assets, including a limited amount of purchased credit card
relationships. As a result of the prompt corrective action provisions discussed
below, however, a savings institution must maintain a core capital ratio of at
least 4.0% to be considered adequately capitalized unless its supervisory
condition is such to allow it to maintain a 3.0% ratio. At December 31, 1999,
Mutual Federal had $1.5 million of intangible assets which were subject to these
tests.

At December 31, 1999, Mutual Federal had core capital equal to $73.4 million, or
13.6% of adjusted total assets, which is $57.2 million above the minimum
requirement of 3.0% in effect on that date.

The Office of Thrift Supervision also requires savings institutions to have
total capital of at least 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. Total capital consists
of core capital, as defined above, and supplementary capital. Supplementary

                                       102

<PAGE>



capital consists of certain permanent and maturing capital instruments that do
not qualify as core capital and general valuation loan and lease loss allowances
up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Supplementary capital may be
used to satisfy the risk-based requirement only to the extent of core capital.
The Office of Thrift Supervision is also authorized to require a savings
institution to maintain an additional amount of total capital to account for
concentration of credit risk and the risk of non-traditional activities. At
December 31, 1999, Mutual Federal had $3.6 million of general loan loss
reserves, which was less than 1.25% of risk-weighted assets.

In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain
off-balance sheet items, will be multiplied by a risk weight, ranging from 0% to
100%, based on the risk inherent in the type of asset. For example, the Office
of Thrift Supervision has assigned a risk weight of 50% for prudently
underwritten permanent one- to four-family first lien mortgage loans not more
than 90 days delinquent and having a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 80% at
origination unless insured to such ratio by an insurer approved by Fannie Mae or
Freddie Mac.

As of December 31, 1999, Mutual Federal had total risk-based capital of $77.0
million and risk-weighted assets of $354.5 million; or total capital of 21.7% of
risk-weighted assets. This amount was $48.6 million above the 8.0% requirement
in effect on that date.

The Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC are authorized and, under certain
circumstances, required to take actions against savings institutions that fail
to meet their capital requirements. The Office of Thrift Supervision is
generally required to restrict the activities of an "undercapitalized
institution," which is an institution with less than either a 4% core capital
ratio, a 4% Tier 1 risked-based capital ratio or an 8.0% risk-based capital
ratio. Any such institution must submit a capital restoration plan and, until
such plan is approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision, may not increase its
assets, acquire another institution, establish a branch or engage in any new
activities, and generally may not make capital distributions. The Office of
Thrift Supervision is authorized to impose the additional restrictions that are
applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions.

As a condition to the approval of the capital restoration plan, any company
controlling an undercapitalized institution must agree that it will enter into a
limited capital maintenance guarantee with respect to the institution's
achievement of its capital requirements.

Any savings institution that fails to comply with its capital plan or has Tier 1
risk-based or core capital ratio of less than 3.0% or a risk-based capital ratio
of less than 6.0% and is considered "significantly undercapitalized" must be
made subject to one or more additional specified actions and operating
restrictions which may cover all aspects of its operations and may include a
forced merger or acquisition of the institution. An institution that becomes
"critically undercapitalized" because it has a tangible capital ratio of 2.0% or
less is subject to further restrictions on its activities in addition to those
applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions. In addition, the
Office of Thrift Supervision must appoint a receiver, or conservator with the
concurrence of the FDIC, for a savings institution, with certain limited
exceptions, within 90 days after it becomes critically undercapitalized. Any
undercapitalized institution is also subject to the general enforcement
authority of the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC, including the
appointment of a conservator or a receiver.

The Office of Thrift Supervision is also generally authorized to reclassify an
institution into a lower capital category and impose the restrictions applicable
to such category if the institution is engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or
is in an unsafe or unsound condition.

The imposition by the Office of Thrift Supervision or the FDIC of any of these
measures on Mutual Federal may have a substantial adverse effect on our
operations and profitability.

LIMITATIONS ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS. Office of Thrift
Supervision regulations impose various restrictions on distributions of capital,
which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers and
other transactions charged to the capital account.

Generally, savings institutions, such as Mutual Federal, that before and after
the proposed distribution remain well- capitalized, may make capital
distributions during any calendar year equal to the greater of 100% of net
income for the year-to-date plus retained net income for the two preceding
years. However, an institution deemed to be in need

                                       103

<PAGE>



of more than normal supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision may have its
dividend authority restricted by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Mutual
Federal may pay dividends in accordance with this general authority.

Savings institutions proposing to make any capital distribution need not submit
written notice to the Office of Thrift Supervision prior to such distribution
unless they are a subsidiary of a holding company or would not remain well-
capitalized following the distribution. Savings institutions that do not, or
would not meet their current minimum capital requirements following a proposed
capital distribution or propose to exceed these net income limitations must
obtain Office of Thrift Supervision approval prior to making such distribution.
The Office of Thrift Supervision may object to the distribution during that
30-day period based on safety and soundness concerns. See "- Regulatory Capital
Requirements."

LIQUIDITY. Each savings institution, including Mutual Federal, is required to
maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage
of the average daily balance of its liquidity base during the preceding calendar
quarter or a percentage of the amount of its liquidity base at the end of the
preceding quarter. This liquid asset ratio requirement may vary from time to
time between 4% and 10%, depending upon economic conditions and savings flows of
all savings institutions. At the present time, the minimum liquid asset ratio is
4%.

Penalties may be imposed upon institutions for violations of the liquid asset
ratio requirement. At December 31, 1999, Mutual Federal was in compliance with
the requirement, with an overall liquid asset ratio of 9.3%.

QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER TEST. All savings institutions, including Mutual
Federal, are required to meet a qualified thrift lender test to avoid certain
restrictions on their operations. This test requires a savings institution to
have at least 65% of its portfolio assets, as defined by regulation, in
qualified thrift investments on a monthly average for nine out of every 12
months on a rolling basis. As an alternative, the savings institution may
maintain 60% of its assets in the assets specified in Section 7701(a)(19) of the
Internal Revenue Code. Under either test, such assets primarily consist of
residential housing related loans and investments. At December 31, 1999, Mutual
Federal met the test and has always met the test since its effectiveness.

Any savings institution that fails to meet the qualified thrift lender test must
convert to a national bank charter, unless it requalifies as a qualified thrift
lender and thereafter remains a qualified thrift lender. If an institution does
not requalify and converts to a national bank charter, it must remain Savings
Association Insurance Fund-insured until the FDIC permits it to transfer to the
Bank Insurance Fund. If such an institution has not yet requalified or converted
to a national bank, its new investments and activities are limited to those
permissible for both a savings institution and a national bank, and it is
limited to national bank branching rights in its home state. In addition, the
institution is immediately ineligible to receive any new Federal Home Loan Bank
borrowings and is subject to national bank limits for payment of dividends. If
such an institution has not requalified or converted to a national bank within
three years after the failure, it must divest of all investments and cease all
activities not permissible for a national bank. In addition, it must repay
promptly any outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, which may result in
prepayment penalties. If any institution that fails the qualified thrift lender
test is controlled by a holding company, then within one year after the failure,
the holding company must register as a bank holding company and become subject
to all restrictions on bank holding companies.

COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT. Under the Community Reinvestment Act, every
FDIC-insured institution is obligated, consistent with safe and sound banking
practices, to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low
and moderate income neighborhoods. The Community Reinvestment Act does not
establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions
nor does it limit an institution's discretion to develop the types of products
and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community,
consistent with the Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act
requires the Office of Thrift Supervision, in connection with the examination of
Mutual Federal, to assess the institution's record of meeting the credit needs
of its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of
certain applications, such as a merger or the establishment of a branch. An
unsatisfactory rating may be used as the basis for the denial of an application.
Due to the heightened attention being given to the Community Reinvestment Act in
the past few years, Mutual Federal may be required to devote additional funds
for investment and lending in its local community. Mutual Federal was examined
for Community Reinvestment Act compliance in May 1997, and received a rating of
satisfactory.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Generally, transactions between a savings
institution or its subsidiaries and its affiliates are required to be on terms
as favorable to the institution as transactions with non-affiliates. In
addition, certain of these transactions, such as loans to an affiliate, are
restricted to a percentage of the institution's capital. Affiliates of Mutual
Federal include MUTUALFIRST and any company which is under common control with
Mutual Federal. In addition, a savings institution may not lend to any affiliate
engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding company or acquire the
securities of most affiliates. The Office of Thrift Supervision has the
discretion to treat subsidiaries of savings institutions as affiliates on a case
by case basis.

Certain transactions with directors, officers or controlling persons are also
subject to conflict of interest regulations enforced by the Office of Thrift
Supervision. These conflict of interest regulations and other statutes also
impose restrictions on loans to such persons and their related interests. Among
other things, such loans must generally be made on terms substantially the same
as loans to unaffiliated individuals.

FEDERAL SECURITIES LAW. The common stock of MUTUALFIRST is registered with the
SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. MUTUALFIRST is subject to the
information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other
requirements of the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

MUTUALFIRST stock held by persons who are affiliates of MUTUALFIRST may not be
resold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 unless sold in
accordance with certain resale restrictions. Affiliates are generally considered
to be officers, directors and principal stockholders. If MUTUALFIRST meets
specified current public information requirements, each affiliate of MUTUALFIRST
is permitted to sell in the public market, without registration, a limited
number of shares in any three-month period.

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository
institutions to maintain non-interest bearing reserves at specified levels
against their transaction accounts, primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW
checking accounts. At December 31, 1999, Mutual Federal was in compliance with
these reserve requirements. The balances maintained to meet the reserve
requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board may be used to satisfy
liquidity requirements that may be imposed by the Office of Thrift Supervision.

Savings  institutions  are  authorized  to borrow from the Federal  Reserve Bank
"discount window," but Federal Reserve Board regulations require institutions to
exhaust other reasonable  alternative  sources of funds,  including Federal Home
Loan Bank borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM. Mutual Federal is a member of the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Indianapolis, which is one of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks
that administers the home financing credit function of savings institutions.
Each Federal Home Loan Bank serves as a reserve or central bank for its members
within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from
the sale of consolidated obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. It
makes loans or advances to members in accordance with policies and procedures
established by the board of directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank, which are
subject to the oversight of the Federal Housing Finance Board. All advances from
the Federal Home Loan Bank are required to be fully secured by collateral deemed
sufficient by the Federal Home Loan Bank. In addition, all long-term advances
must be used for residential home financing.

As a member, Mutual Federal is required to purchase and hold stock in the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. At December 31, 1999, Mutual Federal had
$5.3 million in Federal Home Loan Bank stock, which was in compliance with this
requirement. In past years, Mutual Federal has received substantial dividends on
its Federal Home Loan Bank stock. Over the past five fiscal years, these
dividends have averaged 7.97% and were 8.10% for 1999.

Under federal law, the Federal Home Loan Banks must provide funds for the
resolution of troubled savings institutions and contribute to low- and
moderately priced housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on
advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing
projects. These contributions have affected adversely the level of Federal Home
Loan Bank dividends paid and could continue to do so in the future. These
contributions also could affect adversely the future value of Federal Home Loan
Bank stock.

                                       105

<PAGE>



A reduction in value of Mutual Federal's Federal Home Loan Bank stock may result
in a corresponding reduction in Mutual Federal's capital.

For the year ended December 31, 1999, dividends paid to Mutual Federal by the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis totaled $318,000, as compared to $289,000
for the year ended December 31, 1998.

FEDERAL TAXATION

General. We are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as
other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. The following
discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize certain pertinent
federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax
rules applicable to us. Mutual Federal's federal income tax returns have been
closed without audit by the IRS through its year ended December 31, 1995.

BAD DEBT RESERVES. Prior to the Small Business Job Protection Act, Mutual
Federal was permitted to establish a reserve for bad debts under the percentage
of taxable income method and to make annual additions to the reserve utilizing
that method. These additions could, within specified formula limits, be deducted
in arriving at taxable income. As a result of the Small Business Job Protection
Act, savings associations of Mutual Federal's size may now use the experience
method in computing bad debt deductions beginning with their 1996 federal tax
return. In addition, federal legislation requires Mutual Federal to recapture,
over a six year period, the excess of tax bad debt reserves at December 31, 1997
over those established as of the base year reserve balance as of December 31,
1987. As of December 31, 1999 the amount of Mutual Federal's reserves subject to
recapture were approximately $358,000.

TAXABLE DISTRIBUTIONS AND RECAPTURE. Prior to the Small Business Job Protection
Act, bad debt reserves created prior to the year ended failed December 31, 1997
were subject to recapture into taxable income if Mutual Federal failed to meet
certain thrift asset and definitional tests. Recent federal legislation
eliminated these thrift related recapture rules. However, under current law,
pre-1988 reserves remain subject to recapture should Mutual Federal make certain
non-dividend distributions or cease to maintain a thrift/bank charter.

MINIMUM TAX. The Internal Revenue Code imposes an alternative minimum tax at a
rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences,
called alternative minimum taxable income. The alternative minimum tax is
payable to the extent such alternative minimum taxable income is in excess of an
exemption amount. Net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of
alternative minimum taxable income. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax
may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. Mutual
Federal has not been subject to the alternative minimum tax, and does not have
any such amounts available as credits for carryover.

NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYOVERs. A financial institution may carryback net
operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the
succeeding 20 taxable years. This provision applies to losses incurred in
taxable years beginning after August 6, 1997. For losses incurred in the taxable
years prior to August 6, 1997, the carryback period was three years and the
carryforward period was 15 years. At December 31, 1999, we had no net operating
loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

CORPORATE DIVIDENDS-RECEIVED DEDUCTION. MUTUALFIRST may eliminate from its
income dividends received from Mutual Federal as a wholly owned subsidiary of
MUTUALFIRST if it elects to file a consolidated return with Mutual Federal. The
corporate dividends-received deduction is 100% or 80%, in the case of dividends
received from corporations with which a corporate recipient does not file a
consolidated tax return, depending on the level of stock ownership of the payor
of the dividend. Corporations which own less than 20% of the stock of a
corporation distributing a dividend may deduct 70% of dividends received or
accrued on their behalf.

STATE TAXATION. Mutual Federal is subject to Indiana's financial institutions
tax, which is imposed at a flat rate of 8.5% on "adjusted gross income."
"Adjusted gross income," for purposes of the financial institutions tax, begins
with taxable income as defined by Section 63 of the Internal Revenue Code and
incorporates federal tax law to the extent that it affects the computation of
taxable income. Federal taxable income is then adjusted by several Indiana
                                       106

modifications.  Other applicable state taxes include generally applicable sales
and use taxes plus real and personal property taxes.

PROPERTY

At December 31, 1999, we had 13 full service offices. We own the office building
in which our home office and executive offices are located. At December 31,
1999, we owned all but one of our other branch offices. The net book value of
our investment in premises, equipment and leaseholds, excluding computer
equipment, was approximately $6.7 million at December 31, 1999. We will open a
fourteenth office in the last quarter of 2000.

We utilize a third party service provider to maintain our database of depositor
and borrower customer information. At December 31, 1999, the net book value of
the data processing and computer equipment utilized by us was $1.1 million.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time we are involved as plaintiff or defendant in various legal
actions arising in the normal course of business. We do not anticipate incurring
any material liability as a result of such litigation.

               MARION CAPITAL MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The principal business of thrift institutions, including the First Federal
Savings Bank of Marion, has historically consisted of attracting deposits from
the general public and making loans secured by residential and commercial real
estate. First Federal and all other savings associations are 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 and
level of personal income and savings. In addition, deposit growth is affected by
how customers perceive the stability of the financial services industry amid
various current events such as regulatory changes, failures of other financial
institutions and financing of the deposit insurance fund. Lending activities are
influenced by the demand for and supply of housing lenders, the availability and
cost of funds and various other items. Sources of funds for lending activities
include deposits, payments on loans, proceeds from sale of loans, borrowings,
and funds provided from operations. Marion Capital's earnings are primarily
dependent upon 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 amounts of deposits and
borrowings outstanding during the same period and rates paid on such deposits
and borrowings. Marion Capital's earnings are also affected by provisions for
loan and real estate losses, service charges, income from subsidiary activities,
operating expenses and income taxes.

AVERAGE BALANCES AND INTEREST

The following table presents for the periods indicated the monthly average
balances of each category of Marion Capital's interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, the interest earned or paid on such amounts, and
the average yields earned and rates paid. Such yields and costs are determined
by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities,
respectively, for the periods presented. Management believes that the use of
month-end average balances instead of daily average balances has not caused any
material difference in the information presented.

(1)  Average balances include loans held for sale and non-accrual loans.
(2)  Interest rate spread is calculated by subtracting combined weighted average
     interest rate cost from combined weighted average interest rate earned for
     the period indicated. Interest rate spread figures must be considered in
     light of the relationship between the amounts of interest-earning assets
     and interest-bearing liabilities. Since Marion Capital's interest-earning
     assets exceeded its interest-bearing liabilities for each of the three
     years shown above, a positive interest rate spread resulted in net interest
     income.
(3)  The net yield on weighted average interest-earning assets is calculated by
     dividing net interest income by weighted average interest-earning assets
     for the period indicated. No net yield figure is presented at June 30,
     2000, because the computation of net yield is applicable only over a period
     rather than at a specific date.

The following table describes the extent to which changes in interest rates and
changes in volume of interest-related assets and liabilities have affected
Marion Capital's interest income and expense during the periods indicated. For
each category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability,
information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in rate (changes
in rate multiplied by old volume) and (2) changes in volume (changes in volume
multiplied by old rate). Changes attributable to both rate and volume that
cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionally to the change due to
volume and the change due to rate.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,
2000, COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 1999

GENERAL. Marion Capital's total assets were $198.9 million at June 30, 2000, an
increase of $1.8 million or 0.9% from June 30, 1999. Cash and cash equivalents
and investment securities decreased $2.4 million, or 19.8%. Net loans, including
loans held for sale, decreased $1.1 million, or 0.7%, as principal repayments
exceeded originations.

                                       111

<PAGE>



Certain loans originated during the year were sold to other investors. All such
loan sales were consummated at the time of origination of the loan, and at June
30, 2000, no loans were held for sale pending settlement. At June 30, 2000, cash
value of life insurance increased by $5.5 million primarily as the result of
purchasing life insurance on key directors and a key employee in connection with
new supplemental retirement agreements. Effective February 1, 2000, these
agreements were designed to provide benefits at retirement age as set forth in
the agreements. During 2000, average interest-earning assets decreased $0.7
million, or 0.4%, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $3.6
million, or 2.4%, compared to June 30, 1999. The average balance of cash value
of life insurance for 2000 increased to $8.2 million from $5.7 million for 1999.

Deposits decreased $11.4 million, to $130.7 million, or 8.0%, at June 30, 2000,
from the amount at June 30, 1999. Approximately $9.0 million of deposits were
sold to another financial institution as of September 3, 1999, as part of the
Decatur Branch sale. To fund assets and with the decrease in deposits, Federal
Home Loan Bank advances increased from $15.5 million to June 30, 1999, to $29.0
million at June 30, 2000.

Marion Capital's net income for the year ended June 30, 2000 was $2.5 million,
an increase of $340,000, or 16.0% from the results for the year ended June 30,
1999. This increase in net income resulted substantially from a decreased
effective tax rate from 36% to 11%. This decrease in the effective tax rate was
primarily the result of the commencement of federal income tax credits generated
from an investment in a limited partnership and the receipt of non-taxable death
benefit proceeds of $767,000. Net interest income decreased $402,000, or 5.5%
from the previous year. The provision for losses on loans was $495,000 for 2000
compared to $227,000 for 1999. Other income increased by $424,000 for 2000 over
1999.

INTEREST INCOME. Marion Capital's total interest income for the year ended June
30, 2000 was $14.7 million, which was a 1.9% decrease, or $285,000, from
interest income for the year ended June 30, 1999. This decrease was a result of
volume and rate decreases in interest-earning assets.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Total interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2000, was
$7.8 million, which was an increase of $117,000, or 1.5% from interest expense
for the year ended June 30, 1999. This increase resulted principally from an
increase in interest-bearing liabilities while average interest costs declined
from 5.00% to 4.96%.

PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS. The provision for the year ended June 30, 2000,
was $495,000, compared to $227,000 in 1999. The 2000 net chargeoffs totaled
$484,000, compared to the prior year net chargeoffs of $42,000. Chargeoffs for
2000 include $327,000 for a partial loan chargeoff attributable to one borrower
involving loans secured by commercial real estate. The ratio of the allowance
for loan losses to total loans increased from 1.35% at June 30, 1999, to 1.36%
at June 30, 2000. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans
increased from 68.24% at June 30, 1999, to 121.14% at June 30, 2000, as a result
of a decrease in nonperforming loans. The 2000 provision and resulting level of
the allowance for loan losses was determined, as for any period, based on the
evaluation of nonperforming loans and other classified or problem loans, changes
in the composition of the loan portfolio with allowance allocations made by loan
type, past loss experience, the amount of loans outstanding and current economic
conditions.

The allowance for loan losses is computed by assigning a percentage of loans
outstanding to each category of loans held in the portfolio. All categories of
loans, including multi-family, commercial real estate and other commercial, and
consumer loans, are assigned a higher percentage than single-family loans based
on greater risk factors inherent in these types of loans. In addition to
maintaining the allowance as a percentage of the outstanding loans in portfolio,
additional reserves are provided for nonperforming loans and other classified
loans based on management's assessment of impairment, if any. Individual loans
are specifically analyzed to determine an estimate of loss, and those specific
allocations are then included as part of the loan loss allowance. Historically,
Marion Capital has been able to minimize its losses on loans in relation to the
allowance and loans outstanding. Management considers the allowance to be
adequate and will continue to monitor the allowance for loan losses at least on
a quarterly basis and adjust the provision accordingly to maintain the allowance
for loan losses at the prescribed level.

OTHER INCOME. Marion Capital's other income for the year ended June 30, 2000,
totaled $1,231,000, compared to $789,000 for 1999, an increase of $442,000. This
increase was due primarily to receipt of death benefit proceeds

                                    112

<PAGE>



resulting in additional income of $767,000, the gain on sale of the Decatur
Branch of $232,000, and an increase in annuity and other commissions of $43,000,
which were partially offset by an increase in operating and impairment losses
from limited partnership investments. Losses from limited partnerships increased
as operations commenced on a new low-income housing tax credit project. This new
project is performing in accordance with the original pro forma statements.

OTHER EXPENSES. Marion Capital's other expenses for the year ended June 30,
2000, totaled $4.9 million, an increase of $305,000, or 6.7%, from the year
ended June 30, 1999. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $96,000 or
3.6% from the previous year. Operations for 2000 included $120,000 in merger
related expenses from preliminary professional services rendered in connection
with the strategic alliance with MUTUALFIRST Financial, Inc. scheduled to be
completed by calendar year end.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense for the year ended June 30, 2000, totaled
$291,000,  a  decrease  of  $891,000  from the  expense  recorded  in  1999,  as
low-income  housing  credits  increased  for 2000  compared to 1999.  Low-income
housing tax credits  totaled  $455,000  and $11,000 for the years ended June 30,
2000, and 1999, respectively.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF AOPERATIONS FOR YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,
1999, COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 1998

GENERAL. Marion Capital's total assets were $197.1 million at June 30, 1999, an
increase of $3.1 million or 1.6% from June 30, 1998. During 1999, average
interest-earning assets increased $8.8 million, or 5.2%, while average
interest-bearing liabilities increased $14.3 million or 10.3%, compared to June
30, 1998. Cash and cash equivalents and investment securities increased $1.7
million, or 16.5%, primarily as a result of a slower growth in the loan
portfolio. Net loans, including loans held for sale, increased $1.6 million, or
1.0%, primarily from originations of non-mortgage loans. Certain loans
originated during the year were sold to other investors. All such loans were
consummated at the time of origination of the loan, and at June 30, 1999,
$327,000 of loans were held for sale pending settlement. There were $877,000 of
loans in the portfolio held for sale at June 30, 1998. Deposits increased $7.7
million, to $142.1 million, or 5.7%, at June 30, 1999 from the amount reported
last year.

Marion Capital's net income for the year ended June 30, 1999 was $2.1 million, a
decrease of $200,000, or 8.6% from the results for the year ended June 30, 1998.
This decrease in net income resulted substantially from an increased effective
tax rate from 27% to 36%. This increase in the effective tax rate was the result
of the expiration of federal income tax credits generated from an investment in
a limited partnership. These credits will resume in the upcoming year from
another limited partnership investment. Net interest income increased $85,000,
or 1.2% from the previous year. The provision for losses on loans was $227,000
for 1999 compared to $59,000 for 1998. Other income increased by $385,000 for
1999 over 1998.

INTEREST INCOME. Marion Capital's total interest income for the year ended June
30, 1999 was $15.0 million, which was a 4.5% increase or $648,000, from interest
income for the year ended June 30, 1998. A net volume increase in
interest-earning assets accounts for this increase offset partially by rate
decreases.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Total interest expense for the year ended June 30, 1999, was
$7.7 million, which was an increase of $563,000, or 7.9% from interest expense
for the year ended June 30, 1998. This increase resulted principally from an
increase in interest-bearing liabilities while average interest costs declined
from 5.11% to 5.00%.

PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS. The provision for the year ended June 30, 1999,
was $227,000, compared to $59,000 in 1998. The 1999 chargeoffs totaled $42,000,
compared to the prior year net chargeoffs of $4,000. The ratio of the allowance
for loan losses to total loans increased from 1.25% at June 30, 1998, to 1.35%
at June 30, 1999. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans
decreased from 107.71% at June 30, 1998, to 68.24% at June 30, 1999 as a result
of an increase in nonperforming loans, which were considered by management in
increasing the 1999 provision and year end allowance. The 1999 provision and
resulting level of the allowance for loan losses was determined, as for any
period, based on the evaluation of nonperforming loans and other classified
loans, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio with allowance
allocations made by loan type, past loss experience, the amount of loans
outstanding and current economic conditions.

OTHER INCOME. Marion Capital's other income for the year ended June 30, 1999,
totaled $789,000, compared to $404,000 for 1998, an increase of $385,000. This
increase was due primarily to increased service charge income of $113,000 from
changes in fee structure, increased gains on loan sales of $61,000 and increased
income on life insurance maintained by Marion Capital of $96,000.

OTHER EXPENSES. Marion Capital's other expenses for the year ended June 30,
1999, totaled $4.6 million, an increase of $178,000, or 4.1%, from the year
ended June 30, 1998. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $130,000
or 5.1% from the previous year. Operations for 1998 included $190,000 in
foreclosed real estate expenses from operating a nursing home acquired as a
result of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Occupancy expense, equipment expense
and data processing expense also increased as a result of Marion Capital adding
the two new local locations and adding new technology and expanded product
delivery systems.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense for the year ended June 30, 1999, totaled
$1,183,000, an increase of $324,000 over the expense recorded in1998 as low
income housing credits decreased for 1999 compared to 1998. Low-income housing
tax credits totaled $11,000 and $338,000 for the years ended June 30, 1999,
and1998 respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Marion Capital's primary source of funds is its deposits. To a lesser extent,
Marion Capital has also relied upon loan payments and payoffs and Federal Home
Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances as sources of funds. Scheduled loan payments are a
relatively stable source of funds, but loan payoffs and deposit flows can
fluctuate significantly, being influenced by interest rates, general economic
conditions and competition. First Federal attempts to price its deposits to meet
its asset/liability management objectives consistent with local market
conditions. First Federal's access to FHLB advances is limited to approximately
62% of First Federal's available collateral. At June 30, 2000, such available
collateral totaled $99.8 million. Based on existing FHLB lending policies,
Marion Capital could have obtained approximately $29.1 million in additional
advances.

First Federal's deposits have remained relatively stable, with balances between
$143 and $130 million, for the three years in the period ended June 30, 2000.
The percentage of IRA deposits to total deposits has decreased from 24.4% ($29.7
million) at June 30, 1997, to 22.0% ($28.9 million) at June 30, 2000. During the
same period, deposits in withdrawable accounts have decreased from 30.3% ($36.9
million) of total deposits at June 30, 1997, to 29.0% ($37.9 million) at June
30, 2000. This change in deposit composition has not had a significant effect on
First Federal's liquidity. The impact on results of operations from this change
in deposit composition has been a reduction in interest expense on deposits due
to a decrease in the average cost of funds. It is estimated that yields and net
interest margin would increase in periods of rising interest rates since
short-term assets reprice more rapidly than short-term liabilities. In periods
of falling interest rates, little change in yields or net interest margin is
expected since First Federal has interest rate minimums on a significant portion
of its interest-earning assets.

Federal regulations require First Federal to maintain minimum levels of liquid
assets (cash, certain time deposits, bankers' acceptances, specified United
States Government, state or federal agency obligations, shares of mutual funds
and certain corporate debt securities and commercial paper) equal to an amount
not less than a specified percentage of its net withdrawable deposit accounts
plus short-term borrowings. This liquidity requirement may be

                                  114

<PAGE>



changed from time to time by the OTS to an amount within the range of 4% to 10%
depending upon economic conditions and savings flows of member institutions. The
OTS recently lowered the level of liquid assets that must be held by a savings
association from 5% to 4% of the association's net withdrawable accounts plus
short-term borrowings based upon the average daily balance of such liquid assets
for each quarter of the association's fiscal year. First Federal has
historically maintained its liquidity ratio at a level in excess of that
required. At June 30, 2000, First Federal's liquidity ratio was 8.5% and has
averaged 8.6% over the past three years.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management.
First Federal adjusts liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (i)
expected loan demand, (ii) projected loan sales, (iii) expected deposit flows,
(iv) yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and (v) the objectives of
its asset/liability management program. Excess liquidity is invested generally
in federal funds and mutual funds investing in government obligations and
adjustable-rate or short-term mortgage-related securities. If First Federal
requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has additional
borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Indianapolis and collateral eligible for
repurchase agreements.

Cash flows for Marion Capital are of three major types. Cash flow from operating
activities consists primarily of net income. Investing activities generate cash
flows through the origination and principal collections on loans as well as the
purchases and maturities of investments. The Gas City branch acquisition
generated $11.9 million in cash flows for 1998. Cash flows from financing
activities include savings deposits, withdrawals and maturities and changes in
borrowings. The following table summarizes cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended June 30, 2000:

Loan sales during the periods are predominantly from the origination of
commercial real estate loans where the principal balance in excess of Marion
Capital's retained amount is sold to a participating financial institution.
These investors are obtained prior to the origination of the loan and the sale
of participating interests does not result in any gain or loss to Marion
Capital. One-to-four residential mortgage loans are also originated and sold in
the secondary market.

Marion Capital considers its liquidity and capital resources to be adequate
to meet its foreseeable  short and long-term needs.  Marion Capital  anticipates
that it will have sufficient  funds  available to meet current loan  commitments
                                   115

<PAGE>


and to fund or refinance,  on a timely basis, its other material commitments and
long-term liabilities. At June 30, 2000, Marion Capital had outstanding
commitments to originate mortgage loans of
$1.6 million. In addition, Marion Capital had consumer and commercial loan
commitments of $6.8 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one
year or less at June 30, 2000, totaled $39.7 million. Based upon historical
deposit flow data, Marion Capital's competitive pricing in its market and
management's experience, management believes that a significant portion of such
deposits will remain with Marion Capital. At June 30, 2000, Marion Capital had
$15.9 million of FHLB advances which mature in one year or less. Since First
Federal's conversion in March 1993, Marion Capital has paid quarterly dividends
in each quarter, amounting to $.125 for each of the first four quarters, $.15
per share for each of the second four quarters, $.18 per share for each of the
third four quarters, $.20 per share for each of the fourth four quarters, and
$.22 in each quarter thereafter through June 30, 2000.


During the year ended June 30, 2000, Marion Capital repurchased 70,700 shares of
common stock in the open market at an average cost of $18.51, or 81% of average
book value. This repurchase amounted to 5% of the outstanding stock. During the
year ended June 30, 1999, Marion Capital repurchased 292,550 shares of common
stock in the open market at an average cost of $23.55, or approximately 106% of
average book value. This repurchase amounted to 17.2% of the outstanding stock.
During the year ended June 30, 1998, Marion Capital repurchased 96,979 shares of
common stock in the open market at an average cost of $27.91, or approximately
126.4% of average book value. This repurchase amounted to 5.5% of the
outstanding stock. These open-market purchases are intended to enhance the book
value per share and enhance potential for growth in earnings per share. During
the past five years, Marion Capital has reduced its capital ratio from 24.24% at
June 30, 1995, to 15.98% at June 30, 2000. At the same time, the liquidity ratio
has been reduced from 18.2% at June 30, 1995, to 8.5% at June 30, 2000. Although
these repurchases have reduced the liquidity ratios, Marion Capital still
maintains an adequate level of liquid assets averaging 8.6% over the past three
years in view of current OTS requirements of 5%. By completing these repurchase
programs, Marion Capital has been able to reduce its excess liquidity position
and also its excess capital position to become better leveraged. Prior to each
repurchase program that is initiated by the Board of Directors, a thorough
evaluation analysis is performed to determine that the cash repurchase program
would not adversely affect the liquidity demands that may arise in the normal
operation of Marion Capital.

First Federal has entered into agreements with certain officers and directors
which provide that, upon their death, their beneficiaries will be entitled to
receive certain benefits. These benefits are to be funded primarily by the
proceeds of insurance policies owned by First Federal on the lives of the
officers and directors. If the insurance companies issuing the policies are not
able to perform under the contracts at the dates of death of the officers or
directors, there would be an adverse effect on Marion Capital's operating
results, financial condition and liquidity. Under currently effective capital
regulations, savings associations currently must meet a 4.0% core capital
requirement and a total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of
8.0%. At June 30, 2000, First Federal's core capital ratio was 14.2% and its
total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 20.4%. Therefore,
First Federal's capital significantly exceeds all of the capital requirements
currently in effect.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

The audited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These
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.

The primary assets and liabilities of savings institutions such as First Federal
are  monetary in nature.  As a result,  interest  rates have a more  significant
impact on First  Federal's  performance  than the  effects of general  levels of
inflation.  Interest  rates,  however,  do not  necessarily  move  in  the  same
direction or with the same  magnitude as the price of goods and services,  since
such prices are affected by inflation.  In a period of rapidly  rising  interest
rates,  the liquidity  and maturity  structures  of First  Federal's  assets and
liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

The principal effect of inflation, as distinct from levels of interest rates, on
earnings is in the area of other expense. Such expense items as employee
compensation, employee benefits, and occupancy and equipment costs may be

                                  116

<PAGE>

subject to increases as a result of inflation. An additional effect of inflation
is the possible increase in the dollar value of the collateral securing loans
made by First Federal.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 requires companies to record
derivatives on the balance sheet at their fair value. SFAS No. 133 also
acknowledges that the method of recording a gain or loss depends on the use of
the derivative. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically
designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a
recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of
the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge
of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an
unrecognized firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a
foreign-currency- denominated forecasted transaction.

     o    For a derivative designated as hedging the exposure to changes in the
          fair value of a recognized asset or liability or a firm commitment
          (referred to as a fair value hedge), the gain or loss is recognized in
          earnings in the period of change together with the offsetting loss or
          gain on the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. The
          effect of that accounting is to reflect in earnings the extent to
          which the hedge is not effective in achieving offsetting changes in
          fair value. o For a derivative designated as hedging the exposure to
          variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction (referred to as a cash
          flow hedge), the effective portion of the derivative's gain or loss is
          initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income
          (outside earnings) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when
          the forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion
          of the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately.

     o    For a derivative designated as hedging the foreign currency exposure
          of a net investment in a foreign operation, the gain or loss is
          reported in other comprehensive income (outside earnings) as part of
          the cumulative translation adjustment. The accounting for a fair value
          hedge described above applies to a derivative designated as a hedge of
          the foreign currency exposure of an unrecognized firm commitment or an
          available-for-sale security. Similarly, the accounting for a cash flow
          hedge described above applies to a derivative designated as a hedge of
          the foreign currency exposure of a foreign-currency-denominated
          forecasted transaction.

     o    For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or
          loss is recognized in earnings in the period of change.

The new Statement applies to all entities. If hedge accounting is elected by the
entity, the method of assessing the effectiveness of the hedging derivative and
the measurement approach of determining the hedge's ineffectiveness must be
established at the inception of the hedge.

SFAS No. 133 amends SFAS No. 52 and supercedes SFAS Nos. 80, 105, and 119. SFAS
No. 107 is amended to include the disclosure provisions about the concentrations
of credit risk from SFAS No. 105. Several Emerging Issues Task Force consensuses
are also changed or nullified by the provisions of SFAS No. 133.

SFAS No. 133 was to be effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15,
1999. The implementation date was deferred, and SFAS No. 133 will now be
effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT


First  Federal  is  subject to  interest  rate risk to the degree  that its
interest-bearing  liabilities,  primarily  deposits with short- and  medium-term
maturities,  mature or reprice  at  different  rates  than its  interest-earning
assets.  Although having  liabilities  that mature or reprice less frequently on
average than assets will be beneficial in times of rising interest  rates,  such
an  asset/liability  structure will result in lower net income during periods of
declining interest rates, unless offset by other factors.



First Federal  protects against problems arising in a falling interest rate
environment  by  requiring   interest  rate  minimums  on  its  residential  and
commercial real estate adjustable-rate mortgages and against problems arising in
a rising  interest rate  environment  by having in excess of 85% of its mortgage
loans with  adjustable rate features.  Management  believes that these minimums,
which establish  floors below which the loan interest rate cannot decline,  will
continue to reduce its interest rate  vulnerability in a declining interest rate
environment.  For the loans  which do not adjust  because of the  interest  rate
minimums, there is an increased risk of prepayment.

First Federal  believes it is critical to manage the  relationship  between
interest rates and the effect on its net portfolio value ("NPV").  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.  First Federal manages assets and
liabilities  within the context of the marketplace,  regulatory  limitations and
within  its  limits on the  amount of  change in NPV which is  acceptable  given
certain interest rate changes.

The OTS issued a regulation,  which uses a net market value  methodology to
measure the interest rate risk exposure of savings associations.  Under this OTS
regulation,  an institution's  "normal" level of interest rate risk in the event
of an assumed change in interest related is a decrease in the  institution's NPV
in an amount  not  exceeding  2% of the  present  value of its  assets.  Savings
associations  with over  $300  million  in assets or less than a 12%  risk-based
capital  ratio are required to file OTS Schedule  CMR. Data from Schedule CMR is
used by the OTS to calculate  changes in NPV (and the related  "normal" level of
interest rate risk) based upon certain interest rate changes  (discussed below).
Associations  which  do not  meet  either  of the  filing  requirements  are not
required to file OTS Schedule CMR, but may do so  voluntarily.  As First Federal
does not meet either of these requirements,  it is not required to file Schedule
CMR, although it does so voluntarily.  Under the regulation,  associations which
must file are  required  to take a deduction  (the  interest  rate risk  capital
component)  from their total  capital  available to calculate  their  risk-based
capital  requirement  if their  interest rate exposure is greater than "normal."
The amount of that  deduction  is  one-half  of the  difference  between (a) the
institution's  actual  calculated  exposure to a 200 basis point  interest  rate
increase or  decrease  (whichever  results in the greater pro forma  decrease in
NPV) and (b) its "normal"  level of exposure which is 2% of the present value of
its assets.

<PAGE>


Presented below, as of June 30, 2000 and 1999, is an analysis  performed by
the OTS of First Federal'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 and down 300 basis points. At June 30, 2000 and 1999, 2% of
the present value of First Federal's assets were  approximately $3.9 million and
$3.9 million.  Because the interest  rate risk of a 200 basis point  decrease in
market rates (which was greater than the interest rate risk of a 200 basis point
increase)  was $1.2  million at June 30, 2000 and $1.8 million at June 30, 1999,
First Federal  would not have been  required to make a deduction  from its total
capital available to calculate its risk based capital requirement if it had been
subject to the OTS's reporting requirements under this methodology.

As with any method of measuring  interest rate risk,  certain  shortcomings
are inherent in the methods of analysis  presented above. 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 loans,  have features which restrict changes in
interest  rates on a  short-term  basis and over the life of the asset.  Most of
First  Federal's  adjustable-rate  loans have interest rate minimums of at least
6.25%  for  residential  loans  and  8.25% for  commercial  real  estate  loans.
Currently,  originations of residential  adjustable-rate mortgages have interest
rate  minimums of at least 7.5%.  Further,  in the event of a change in interest
rates,  expected  rates of  prepayments  on loans  and  early  withdrawals  from
certificates   could  likely  deviate   significantly   from  those  assumed  in
calculating the table.  Finally,  the ability of many borrowers to service their
debt may  decrease  in the event of an interest  rate  increase  although  First
Federal  does  underwrite  these  mortgages  at  approximately  2.5%  above  the
origination  rate.  Marion Capital  considers all of these factors in monitoring
its exposure to interest rate risk.

                        BUSINESS OF MARION CAPITAL

Marion Capital is an Indiana corporation organized on November 23, 1992, to
become a unitary savings and loan holding company. Marion Capital became a
unitary savings and loan holding company upon the conversion of First Federal
Savings Bank of Marion from a federal mutual savings bank to a federal stock
savings bank on March 18, 1993. The principal asset of Marion Capital consists
of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $0.01 par value
per share, of First Federal Savings Bank of Marion. First Federal began
operations in Marion, Indiana, as a federal savings and loan association in
1936, and converted to a federal mutual savings bank in 1986.

First Federal offers a number of consumer and commercial financial services.
These services include: (i) residential and commercial real estate loans; (ii)
multi-family loans; (iii) construction loans; (iv) installment loans; (v) loans
secured by deposits; (vi) auto loans; (vii) NOW accounts; (viii) consumer and
commercial demand and time deposit accounts; (ix) individual retirement
accounts; and (x) tax deferred annuities and mutual funds through its service
corporation subsidiary, First Marion Service Corporation ("First Marion"). First
Federal provides these services at three full-service offices, two in Marion,
and one in Gas City, Indiana. First Federal's market area for loans and deposits
consists of Grant and surrounding counties.

Marion Capital's primary source of revenue is interest income from First
Federal's lending activities. First Federal's principal lending activity is the
origination of conventional mortgage loans to enable borrowers to purchase or
refinance one- to four-family residential real property. At June 30, 2000, 61.1%
of Marion Capital's total loan portfolio consisted of conventional mortgage
loans on residential real property. These loans are generally secured by first
mortgages on the property. Substantially all of the residential real estate
loans originated by First Federal are secured by properties located in Grant and
surrounding counties. First Federal also offers secured and unsecured
consumer-related loans (including installment loans, loans secured by deposits,
home equity loans, and auto loans). Marion Capital has a significant commercial
real estate portfolio, with a balance of $31.2 million at June 30, 2000, or
18.4% of total loans. First Federal also makes construction loans, which
constituted $5.3 million or 3.1% of Marion Capital's total loans at June 30,
2000, and commercial loans, which are generally not secured by real estate, of
$10.6 million, or 6.3%.

In the early 1980s most savings institutions' loan portfolios consisted of
long-term fixed-rate loans which then carried low interest rates. At the same
time, most savings associations had to pay competitive and high market interest
rates in order to maintain deposits. This resulted in a "negative" interest
spread. First Federal experienced these problems, but responded to them as
changes in regulations over the period permitted, and has been quite successful
in managing its interest rate risk. Among its strategies has been an emphasis on
originating adjustable-rate mortgage loans ("ARMs") which permit First Federal
to better match the interest it earns on mortgage loans with the interest it
pays on deposits, with interest rate minimums. As of June 30, 2000, ARMs
constituted 86.6% of Marion Capital's total mortgage loan portfolio.
Additionally, First Federal attempts to lengthen liability repricing by
aggressively pricing longer term certificates of deposit during periods of
relatively low interest rates and investing in intermediate-term or
variable-rate investment securities.

The following table sets forth certain information at June 30, 2000, regarding
the dollar amount of loans maturing in Marion Capital's loan portfolio based on
the date that final payment is due under the terms of the loan. Demand loans
having no stated schedule of repayments and no stated maturity and overdrafts
are reported as due in one year or less. This schedule does not reflect the
effects of possible prepayments or enforcement of due-on-sale clauses.
Management expects prepayments will cause actual maturities to be shorter.

RESIDENTIAL LOANS. Residential loans consist of one-to-four family loans.
Approximately $104.0 million, or 61.1%, of Marion Capital's portfolio of loans
at June 30, 2000, consisted of one- to four-family mortgage loans, of which
approximately 86.9% had adjustable rates. Marion Capital is currently selling to
the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (the "FHLMC") 95% of the principal
balance on fixed rate loans originated with terms in excess of 15 years and
retaining all of the servicing rights on these loans. The option to retain or
sell fixed rate loans will be evaluated from time to time. During the year ended
June 30, 2000, $1.6 million in loans were sold to FHLMC.

First Federal originates fixed-rate loans with terms of up to 30 years. Some
loans are originated in accordance with guidelines established by FHLMC to
facilitate the sale of such loans to FHLMC in the secondary market. These loans
amortize on a monthly basis with principal and interest due each month. As
mentioned above, a few of these loans originated with terms in excess of 15
years, or annual interest rates below 8.5%, were sold to FHLMC

                                       122

<PAGE>


promptly after they were originated. First Federal retained 5% of the principal
balance of such sold loans as well as the servicing on all of such sold loans.
At June 30, 2000, Marion Capital had $10.5 million of fixed rate residential
mortgage loans which were originated in prior years in its portfolio with
maturities beyond June 30, 2001, none of which were held for sale.

Most ARMs adjust on an annual basis, although First Federal currently offers a
five-year ARM which has a fixed rate for five years, and a three-year ARM which
has a fixed rate for three years. Both of these ARMs adjust annually after the
initial period is over. Currently, the ARMs have an interest rate average
minimum of 6.5% and average maximum of 13.5%. The interest rate adjustment for
substantially all of First Federal's ARMs is indexed to the One-Year Treasury
Constant Maturity Index. On new residential mortgage loans, the margin above
such index currently is 3.00%. First Federal offers ARMs with maximum rate
changes of 2% per adjustment, and an average of 6.0% over the life of the loan.
Generally made for terms of up to 25 years, First Federal's ARMs are not made on
terms that conform with the standard underwriting criteria of FHLMC or the
Federal National Mortgage Association (the "FNMA"), thereby making resale of
such loans difficult. To better protect Marion Capital against rising interest
rates, First Federal underwrites its residential ARMs based on the borrower's
ability to repay the loan assuming a rate equal to approximately 2% above the
initial rate payable if the loan remained constant during the loan term.

Although First Federal's residential mortgage loans are generally amortized over
a 25-year period, residential mortgage loans generally are paid off before
maturity. Substantially all of the residential mortgage loans that First Federal
has originated include "due on sale" clauses, which give First Federal the right
to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event that, among other
things, the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the real property subject to
the mortgage and the loan is not repaid.

First Federal generally requires private mortgage insurance on all conventional
residential single-family mortgage loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of
90%. First Federal generally will not lend more than 95% of the lower of current
cost or appraised value of a residential single family property. In July 1995,
First Federal's wholly-owned subsidiary, First Marion, began a 100% financing
program pursuant to which First Federal would originate an 80% loan-to-value
first mortgage loan using its normal underwriting standard and First Marion
would finance the remaining 20%. The second mortgage loan originated by First
Marion is a fixed rate mortgage loan with an interest rate of 10% and a term not
to exceed 15 years. At June 30, 2000, these loans amounted to $2.7 million.

Residential mortgage loans under $450,000 are approved by one of three senior
officers given authority by the Board of Directors. Residential loans between
$450,000 and $1.0 million can be approved by two of these three senior officers
(one of which must be the president). All loan requests from $1.0 million to 1.5
million are approved by First Federal's Executive Committee. Loan requests in
excess of $1.5 million are approved by First Federal's Board of Directors.

At June 30, 2000, residential mortgage loans amounting to $0.6 million, or 0.3%
of total loans, were included in non-performing assets. See "--Non-performing
and Problem Assets."

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS. At June 30, 2000, $31.2 million, or 18.4%, of
Marion Capital's total loan portfolio consisted of mortgage loans secured by
commercial real estate. The properties securing these loans consist primarily of
nursing homes, office buildings, hotels, churches, warehouses and shopping
centers. The commercial real estate loans, substantially all adjustable rate,
are made for terms not exceeding 25 years, and generally require an 80% or lower
loan-to-value ratio. Some require balloon payments after 5, 10 or 15 years. A
number of different indices, including the 1, 3, and 5 year Treasury Bills, are
used as the interest rate index for these loans. The commercial real estate
loans generally have minimum interest rates of 9% and maximum interest rates of
15%. Most of these loans adjust annually, but Marion Capital has some 3-year and
5-year commercial real estate adjustable rate loans in its portfolio. The
largest commercial real estate loan as of June 30, 2000, had a balance of $2.4
million.

Marion Capital held in its portfolio 18 commercial and multi-family real estate
loans with balances in excess of $500,000 at June 30, 2000. The average loan
balance for all such loans was $1,035,000. A significant proportion

                                      123

<PAGE>



of Marion Capital's commercial real estate loan portfolio consists of loans
secured by nursing home properties. The balance of such loans totaled $11.5
million at June 30, 2000.

Current federal law limits a savings association's investment in commercial real
estate loans to 400% of its capital. In addition, the application of the
Qualified Thrift Lender Test has had the effect of limiting the aggregate
investment in commercial real estate loans made by First Federal. See
"Regulation -- Qualified Thrift Lender." First Federal currently complies with
the limitations on investments in commercial real estate loans.

Commercial real estate loans involve greater risk than residential mortgage
loans because payments on loans secured by income properties are often dependent
on the successful operation or management of the properties and are generally
larger. As a result, repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent
than residential real estate loans to adverse conditions in the real estate
market or the economy. At June 30, 2000, Marion Capital had $1.3 million of
non-performing loans classified as substandard, $0 as doubtful, $0 as loss and
$3.1 million as special mention.

Marion Capital has a high concentration of loans secured by nursing homes. Like
other commercial real estate loans, nursing home loans often involve large loan
balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers, and have a higher
degree of credit risk than residential mortgage lending. Loan payments are often
dependent on the operation of the nursing home, the success of which is
dependent upon the long-term health care industry. The risks inherent in such
industry include the federal, state and local licensure and certification laws
which regulate, among other things, the number of beds for which nursing care
can be provided and the construction, acquisition and operation of such nursing
facilities. The failure to obtain or maintain a required regulatory approval or
license could prevent the nursing home from being reimbursed for costs incurred
in offering its services or expanding its business. Moreover, a large percentage
of nursing home revenues is derived from reimbursement by third party payors.
Both governmental and other third party payors have adopted and are continuing
to adopt cost containment measures designed to limit payment to health care
providers, and changes in federal and state regulations in these areas could
adversely affect such homes. Because of Marion Capital's concentration in this
area, a decline in the nursing home industry could have a substantial adverse
effect on Marion Capital's commercial real estate portfolio and, therefore, a
substantial adverse effect on its operating results.

Commercial real estate loans in excess of $1.5 million must be approved in
advance by First Federal's Board of Directors. Commercial real estate loans
between $1.0 million and $1.5 million can be approved by First Federal's
Executive Committee. Commercial real estate requests between $450,000 and $1.0
million require approval from two of three senior officers (one of which must be
the president) authorized by First Federal's Board of Directors and a similar
request below $450,000 requires approval from any one of these three same senior
officers.

MULTI-FAMILY LOANS. At June 30, 2000, $8.5 million, or 5.0%, of Marion Capital's
total loan portfolio consisted of mortgage loans secured by multi-family
dwellings (those consisting of more than four units). All of Marion Capital's
multi-family loans are secured by apartment complexes located in Indiana or
Ohio. The average balance of all such multi-family mortgage loans was $368,000
as of June 30, 2000. The largest such multi-family mortgage loan as of June 30,
2000, had a balance of $1.1 million. As with First Federal's commercial real
estate loans, multi-family mortgage loans are substantially all adjustable-rate
loans, are written for terms not exceeding 25 years, and require at least an 80%
loan-to-value ratio. At June 30, 2000, Marion Capital had $1.3 million in loans
secured by multi-family dwellings which were classified as substandard assets
and $422,000 classified as special mention.

Multi-family loans, like commercial real estate loans, involve a greater risk
than do residential loans. Also, the more stringent loans-to-one borrower
limitation limits the ability of First Federal to make loans to developers of
apartment complexes and other multi-family units.

CONSTRUCTION LOANS. First Federal offers construction loans with respect to
owner-occupied residential and commercial real estate property and, in certain
cases, to builders or developers constructing such properties on an investment
basis (i.e., before the builder/developer obtains a commitment from a buyer).
Most construction loans are made to owners who occupy the premises.


                                       124

<PAGE>



At June 30, 2000, $5.3 million, or 3.1%, of Marion Capital's total loan
portfolio consisted of construction loans, of which approximately $4.4 million
were residential construction loans and $0.9 million related to construction of
commercial real estate projects. The largest construction loan on June 30, 2000,
was $1.0 million.

For most construction loans, the loan is actually a 25-year mortgage loan, but
interest only is payable during the construction phase of the loan up to 18
months, and such interest is charged only on the money disbursed under the loan.
After the construction phase (typically 6 to 12 months), regular mortgage loan
payments of principal and interest are due. Appraisals for these loans are
completed, subject to completion of building plans and specifications.

Interest rates and fees vary for these loans. While construction is progressing,
periodic inspections are performed for which First Federal assesses a fee.

While providing Marion Capital with a higher yield than a conventional mortgage
loan, construction loans involve a higher level of risk. For example, if a
project is not completed and the borrower defaults, First Federal may have to
hire another contractor to complete the project at a higher cost. Also, a house
may be completed, but may not be salable, resulting in the borrower defaulting
and First Federal taking title to the house.

CONSUMER LOANS. Federal laws and regulations permit federally chartered savings
associations to make secured and unsecured consumer loans in an aggregate amount
of up to 35% of the association's total assets. In addition, a federally
chartered savings association has lending authority above the 35% limit for
certain consumer loans, such as property improvement loans and deposit account
secured loans. However, the Qualified Thrift Lender test places additional
limitations on a savings association's ability to make consumer loans.

Marion Capital's consumer loans, consisting primarily of installment loans,
loans secured by deposits, and auto loans, aggregated $10.4 million as of June
30, 2000, or 6.1% of Marion Capital's total loan portfolio. Although consumer
loans are currently only a small portion of its lending business, First Federal
consistently originates consumer loans to meet the needs of its customers, and
First Federal intends to originate more such loans to assist in meeting its
asset/liability management goals.

First Federal makes installment loans of up to five years, which consisted of
$3.4 million, or 2.0% of Marion Capital's total loan portfolio at June 30, 2000.
Loans secured by deposits, totaling $635,000 at June 30, 2000, are made up to
90% of the original account balance and accrue at a rate of 2% over the
underlying certificate of deposit rate. Variable rate home equity loans of up to
10 years, secured by second mortgages on the underlying residential property
totaled $4.7 million, or 2.8% of Marion Capital's total loan portfolio at June
30, 2000. Automobile loans totaled only $1.7 million, or 1.0% and are made at
fixed rates for terms of up to five years depending on the age of the automobile
and the loan-to-value ratio for the loan. First Federal does not make indirect
automobile loans.

Although consumer loans generally involve a higher level of risk than one- to
four-family residential mortgage loans, their relatively higher yields and
shorter terms to maturity are believed to be helpful in reducing the
interest-rate risk of the loan portfolio. First Federal has thus far been
successful in managing consumer loan risk. As of June 30, 2000, $28,000 of
consumer loans were included in non-performing assets.

COMMERCIAL BUSINESS LENDING. At June 30, 2000, commercial business loans
comprised $10.6 million, or 6.3% of First Federal's gross loan portfolio. Most
of the commercial business loans have been extended to finance local businesses
and include short term loans to finance machinery and equipment purchases,
inventory and accounts receivable.

Unlike residential mortgage loans, commercial business loans are typically made
on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash flow of
the borrower's business. As a result, the availability of funds for the
repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the
success of the business itself, which, in turn, is often dependent in part upon
general economic conditions. Commercial business loans are usually, but not
always, secured by business assets. However, the collateral securing the loans
may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise, and may fluctuate in
value based on the success of the business.


                                        125

<PAGE>



First Federal's commercial business lending policy includes credit file
documentation and analysis of the borrower's background and the capacity to
repay the loan, the accuracy of the borrower's capital and collateral as well as
an evaluation of other conditions effecting the borrower. Analysis of the
borrower's past, present and future cash flows is also an important aspect of
First Federal's credit analysis. First Federal generally obtains personal
guarantees on commercial business loans. Nonetheless, these loans are believed
to carry higher credit risk than more traditional single family loans. At June
30, 2000, Marion Capital had 152,000 in commercial loans which were included in
non-performing assets and classified as substandard and $27,000 classified as
special mention.

LOANS TO ONE BORROWER. First Federal occasionally receives multiple loan
requests from a single borrower. These requests are prudently underwritten based
on First Federal's historical experience with the borrower, the loan amount
compared to the collateral's value, the borrower's credit risk, and the
financial position of the borrower, among other things. At June 30, 2000, the
largest aggregate amount of loans to a single borrower totaled $4.4 million, an
amount that complied with the loans to one borrower limitation in effect at the
time the loans were originated. These loans are primarily secured by nursing
homes located in Indiana; however, one of these loans is secured by a
residential property owned by the borrower in Southern Indiana. As of the report
date, all of the aforementioned loans were performing in accordance with the
original terms extended by First Federal. In addition, First Federal reviews
both the operating statements from the individual projects and the financial
position of the borrower on an annual basis.

ORIGINATION, PURCHASE AND SALE OF LOANS. First Federal currently does not
originate its ARMs in conformity with the standard criteria of the FHLMC or
FNMA. First Federal would therefore experience some difficulty selling such
loans in the secondary market, although most loans could be brought into
conformity. First Federal has no intention, however, of attempting to sell such
loans. First Federal's ARMs vary from secondary market criteria because First
Federal does not use the standard loan form, does not require current property
surveys in most cases, and does not permit the conversion of those loans to
fixed-rate loans in the first three years of their term. These practices allow
First Federal to keep the loan closing costs down.

Although First Federal currently has authority to lend anywhere in the United
States, it has confined its loan origination activities primarily in Grant and
contiguous counties. First Federal's loan originations are generated from
referrals from builders, developers, real estate brokers and existing customers,
newspaper, radio and periodical advertising, and walk-in customers. Loans are
originated at either the main or branch offices. All loan applications are
processed and underwritten at First Federal's main office.

Under current federal law, a savings association generally may not make any loan
or extend credit to a borrower or its related entities if the total of all such
loans by the savings association exceeds 15% of its unimpaired capital and
surplus. Additional amounts may be lent, not in excess of 10% of unimpaired
capital and surplus, if such loans or extensions of credit are fully secured by
readily marketable collateral, including certain debt and equity securities but
not including real estate. In some cases, a savings association may lend up to
30% of unimpaired capital and surplus to one borrower for purposes of developing
domestic residential housing, provided that the association meets its regulatory
capital requirements and the OTS authorizes the association to use this expanded
lending authority. The maximum amount which First Federal could have loaned to
one borrower and the borrower's related entities under the 15% of capital
limitation was $4.2 million at June 30, 2000.

First Federal's loan approval process is intended to assess the borrower's
ability to repay the loan, the viability of the loan and the adequacy of the
value of the property that will secure the loan. To assess the borrower's
ability to repay, First Federal studies the employment and credit history and
information on the historical and projected income and expenses of its
individual and corporate mortgagors.

First Federal uses independent appraisers to appraise the property securing its
loans and requires title insurance or an abstract and a valid lien on its
mortgaged real estate. Appraisals on real estate securing most real estate loans
in excess of $250,000, are performed by either state-licensed or state-certified
appraisers, depending on the type and size of the loan. First Federal requires
fire and extended coverage insurance in amounts at least equal to the principal
amount of the loan. It also requires flood insurance to protect the property
securing its interest if the property is in a flood plain. Tax and insurance
payments are required to be escrowed by First Federal on all loans

                                       126

<PAGE>

subject to private mortgage insurance, but this service is offered to all
borrowers. Annual site visitations are made by licensed architects with respect
to all commercial real estate loans in excess of $500,000.

First Federal applies consistent underwriting standards to the several types of
consumer loans it makes to protect First Federal against the risks inherent in
making such loans. Borrower character, credit history, net worth and underlying
collateral are important considerations.

First Federal has historically participated in the secondary market as a seller
of 95% of the principal balance of its long-term fixed rate mortgage loans, as
described above, although First Federal has recently begun retaining such loans
in Marion Capital's portfolio. The loans First Federal sells are designated for
sale when originated. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, First Federal
sold $1.6 million of its fixed-rate mortgage loans, none of which were held for
sale at June 30, 2000. First Federal obtains commitments from investors for the
sale of such loans at their outstanding principal balance and these commitments
are obtained prior to origination of the loans.

When it sells mortgage loans, First Federal generally retains the responsibility
for collecting and remitting loan payments, inspecting the properties that
secure the loans, making certain that monthly principal and interest payments
and real estate tax and insurance payments are made on behalf of borrowers, and
otherwise servicing the loans. Marion Capital receives a servicing fee for
performing these services. The amount of fees received by Marion Capital varies,
but is generally calculated as an amount equal to a rate of .25% per annum for
commercial loans and .375% per annum for residential loans on the outstanding
principal amount of the loans serviced. At June 30, 2000, Marion Capital
serviced $33.5 million of loans sold to other parties of which $13.7 million, or
41.0%, were for loans sold to FHLMC; other service loans are participation loans
sold to other financial institutions.

Marion Capital occasionally purchases participations to diversify its portfolio,
to supplement local loan demand and to obtain more favorable yields. The
participations purchased normally represent a portion of residential or
commercial real estate loans originated by other Indiana financial institutions,
most of which are secured by property located in Indiana. As of June 30, 2000,
Marion Capital held in its loan portfolio, participations in mortgage loans
aggregating $4.7 million that it had purchased, all of which were serviced by
others. The largest such participation it held at June 30, 2000, was in a loan
secured by an apartment complex. Marion Capital's portion of the outstanding
balance on that date was approximately $1.1 million.

Origination and Other Fees. Marion Capital realizes income from fees for
originating commercial real estate loans (equal to one or one-half of a
percentage of the total principal amount of the loan), late charges, checking
and NOW account service charges, fees for the sale of mortgage life insurance by
First Federal, fees for servicing loans and fees for other miscellaneous
services including money orders and travelers checks. In order to increase its
competitive position with respect to other mortgage lenders, First Federal does
not charge points on residential mortgage loans, but does so on its commercial
real estate loans. Late charges are assessed if payment is not received within
15 days after it is due.

First Federal charges miscellaneous fees for appraisals, inspections (including
an inspection fee for construction loans), obtaining credit reports, certain
loan applications, recording and similar services. Marion Capital also collects
fees for Visa applications which it refers to another financial institution.
Marion Capital does not underwrite any of these credit card loans.

NON-PERFORMING AND PROBLEM ASSETS

Mortgage loans are reviewed by Marion Capital on a regular basis and are
generally placed on a non-accrual status when the loans become contractually
past due 90 days or more. Once a mortgage loan is fifteen days past due, a
reminder is mailed to the borrower requesting payment by a specified date. At
the end of each month, late notices are sent with respect to all mortgage loans
at least 20 days delinquent. When loans are 30 days in default, a third notice
imposing a late charge equal to 5% of the late principal and interest payment is
imposed. Contact by phone or in person is made, if feasible, with respect to all
mortgage loans 30 days or more in default. By the time a mortgage loan is 90
days past due, a letter is sent to the borrower demanding payment by a certain
date and

                                     128

<PAGE>



indicating that a foreclosure suit will be filed if this deadline is not met.
The Board of Directors normally confers foreclosure authority at that time, but
management may continue to work with the borrower if circumstances warrant.

Consumer and commercial loans other than mortgage loans are treated similarly.
Interest income on consumer and other nonmortgage loans is accrued over the term
of the loan except when serious doubt exists as to the collectibility of a loan,
in which case the accrual of interest is discontinued. It is Marion Capital's
policy to recognize losses on these loans as soon as they become apparent.
Collateralized and noncollateralized consumer loans after 180 and 120 days of
delinquency, respectively, are charged off.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS. At June 30, 2000, $2.1 million, or 1.06% of Marion
Capital's total assets, were non-performing assets (non-accrual loans, real
estate owned and troubled debt restructurings), compared to $1.9 million, or
1.07% of Marion Capital's total assets, at June 30, 1996. At June 30, 2000,
residential loans, multi-family, commercial real estate loans, commercial loans,
consumer loans, and repossessed assets accounted for 26.2%, 61.9%, 7.2%, 0.1%,
1.2% and 3.4%, respectively, of non-performing assets.

At June 30, 2000, non-performing assets included $72,000 of repossessed assets
compared to real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure, voluntary deed, or
other means, of $183,000 at June 30, 1996. Real estate acquired is classified by
Marion Capital as "real estate owned" or "REO" until it is sold. When property
is so acquired, the value of the asset is recorded on the books of Marion
Capital at the lower of the unpaid principal balance at the date of acquisition
plus foreclosure and other related costs or at fair value. Interest accrual
ceases when the collection of interest becomes doubtful, usually after the loan
has been delinquent for 90 days or more. All costs incurred from the date of
acquisition in maintaining the property are expensed.

The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of Marion Capital's
non-performing assets (non-accrual loans, repossessed assets and troubled debt
restructurings).

(1)  Marion Capital generally places mortgage loans on a nonaccrual status when
     the loans become contractually past due 90 days or more. Interest income
     previously accrued but not deemed collectible is reversed and charged
     against current income. Interest on these loans is then recognized as
     income when collected. For the year ended June 30, 2000, the income that
     would have been recorded had the non-accrual loans not been in a
     non-performing status totaled $195,000 compared to actual income recorded
     of $32,000.

CLASSIFIED ASSETS. Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans
and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered by the Office of
Thrift Supervision ("OTS") to be of lesser quality, as "substandard," "doubtful"
or "loss." An asset is considered "substandard" if it is inadequately protected
by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral
pledged, if any. "Substandard" assets include those characterized by the
"distinct possibility" that the insured institution will sustain "some loss" if
the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as "doubtful" have all of
the weaknesses inherent in those classified "substandard," with the added
characteristic that the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in
full," on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, "highly
questionable and improbable." Assets classified as "loss" are those considered
"uncollectible" and of such little value that their continuance as assets
without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. Assets
which do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to
warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess
weaknesses are required to be designated "special mention" by management.

When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or
doubtful, it must establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount
deemed prudent by management. General allowances represent loss allowances which
have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending
activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to
particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets
as "loss," it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses
equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge off such
amount. An institution's determination as to the classification of its assets
and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the
institution's principal supervisory agent, who may order the establishment of
additional general or specific loss allowances.

In connection with the filing of its periodic reports with the OTS and in
accordance with its classification of assets policy, Marion Capital regularly
reviews the problem loans in its portfolio to determine whether any loans
require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. Total
classified assets at June 30, 2000, were $7.3 million.

The following table sets forth the aggregate amount of Marion Capital's
classified assets, and of the general and specific loss allowances as of the
dates indicated.

Marion Capital regularly reviews its loan portfolio to determine whether any
loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. Not all
assets classified by Marion Capital as substandard, doubtful or loss are
included as non-performing assets, and not all of Marion Capital's
non-performing assets constitute classified assets.

SUBSTANDARD ASSETS. At June 30, 2000, Marion Capital had 37 loans classified as
substandard totaling approximately $3.7 million. Of the $3.7 million classified
as substandard, $1.5 million is attributable to one borrower involving five
loans secured by commercial real estate in various stages of completion. The
loans were

                                      130

<PAGE>

made as construction/permanent financing. Foreclosure has been filed and
calculations performed to determine the net realizable value. To the extent that
a loss appears probable, such loss has been included in the allowance for loan
losses. In addition, $1.3 million is attributable to loans secured by
multi-family dwellings. Also included in substandard assets are certain loans to
facilitate the sale of the real estate owned, totaling $65,000 at June 30, 2000.
These are former REO properties sold on contract that are included as
substandard assets to the extent the loan balance exceeds the appraised value of
the property. Also included in substandard assets at June 30, 2000, are slow
mortgage loans (loans or contracts delinquent for generally 90 days or more)
aggregating $606,000, and slow consumer loans totaling $219,000.

DOUBTFUL AND LOSS ASSETS. At June 30,2000, none of First Federal's assets were
classified as doubtful or loss.

SPECIAL MENTION ASSETS. At June 30, 2000, First Federal's assets subject to
special mention totaled $3.5 million. Included are one multi-family loan
totaling $422,000, one commercial business loan totaling $27,000 and four
nursing home loans totaling $3.1 million. All loans were classified as special
mention due to financial statements indicating insufficient cash flow to meet
all expenses. All of the above loans were current at June 30, 2000. First
Federal classified $4.4 million as special mention at June 30, 1999, and $4.1
million were classified as special mention at June 30, 1998. No assets were
classified as special mention at June 30, 1997 and 1996.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is maintained through the provision for losses on
loans, which is charged to earnings. The provision is used to adjust the level
of the allowance from period to period based upon estimated losses and losses
actually incurred. Loans or portions thereof are charged to the allowance when
losses are determinable and considered probable. The provision is determined in
conjunction with management's review and evaluation of current economic
conditions, including those of First Federal's lending area, changes in the
character and size of the loan portfolio, loan delinquencies (current status as
well as past and anticipated trends) and adequacy of collateral securing loan
delinquencies, non-performing and other classified loans, historical and
estimated net charge-offs, and other pertinent information derived from a review
of the loan portfolio. Marion Capital maintains the current level of the
allowance partly in recognition of its increased risks inherent in its
commercial real estate, construction, multi-family and commercial loan
portfolios.

The allowance for loan losses computation includes assigning estimated loss
percentage to loans outstanding in each category of loans held in the portfolio.
All categories of loans, including multi-family, commercial real estate,
construction, and other commercial and consumer loans, are assigned a loss
percentage based on risk factors inherent in these types of loans. These loss
percentages are based on risk estimate losses inherent in the portfolio, which
First Federal believes are greater than historical loss percentages; historical
losses are considered, but may not necessarily be indicative of future
charge-offs in the entire portfolio. Residential mortgages are generally subject
to lesser risk except during periods of economic downturns or unemployment.
Other real estate loans are subject to risks of inadequate cash flows,
concentrations in industries, size of individual loans and declining collateral
values. Commercial loans are also subject to cash flow dependence, size of
individual loans, industry conditions and borrower operations, and financial
strength and character of borrower. Risk elements for consumer loans include
economic conditions, employment factors, and character and adequacy of
collateral. Estimated loss amounts by loan types are reviewed for reasonableness
based on economic and business conditions at the time.

In addition to maintaining the allowance as a percentage of the outstanding
loans in the portfolio, additional reserves are provided for non-performing
loans and other classified loans based on management's assessment of impairment,
if any. Individual loans are specifically analyzed to determine an estimate of
loss, and those specific allocations are then included as part of the loan loss
allowance.

The overall appropriateness of the allowance determined by management is based
on its evaluation of then-existing economic and business conditions related to
the loan portfolio, volumes and concentrations in commercial real estate type
loans and in other categories with greater risk and non-performing and
classified loans. If evaluation of loss has not more specifically been
identified to a loan category or individual loans, evaluation of loss has been
reflected in the unallocated portion of the allowance. In management's opinion,
Marion Capital's allowance for loan losses is adequate at June 30, 2000, to
absorb anticipated losses on loans in the portfolio.

For 2000 and 1999, First Federal presented allocations computed by assigning
estimated loss percentages to loans outstanding and allocations for other
estimated losses by loan category, compared to previous years when such amounts
were generally included in the unallocated portion of the allowance.

INVESTMENTS

Federally chartered savings associations have the authority to invest in various
types of liquid assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of
various federal agencies, certain certificates of deposit of insured bank and
savings institutions, certain bankers' acceptances, repurchase agreements and
federal funds sold. Subject to various restrictions, federally chartered savings
associations may also invest a portion of their assets in commercial paper,
corporate debt securities and asset-backed securities. The investment policy of
Marion Capital, which is established by the Board of Directors and is
implemented by the Executive Committee, is designed primarily to maximize the
yield on the investment portfolio subject to minimal liquidity risk, default
risk, interest rate risk, and prudent asset/liability management.

Specifically, Marion Capital's policies generally limit investments in corporate
debt obligations to those which are rated in the two highest rating categories
by a nationally recognized rating agency at the time of the investment and such
obligations must continue to be rated in one of the four highest rating
categories. Commercial bank obligations, such as certificates of deposit,
brokers acceptances, and federal funds must be rated "C" or better by a major
rating service. Commercial paper must be rated A-1 by Standard and Poor's and
P-1 by Moody's. The policies also allow investments in obligations of federal
agencies such as the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), FNMA,
and FHLMC, and obligations issued by state and local governments. Marion Capital
does not utilize options or financial or futures contracts.


                                 133

Marion Capital's investment portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury and agency
securities, investment in two Indiana limited partnerships, investment in an
insurance company and FHLB stock. At June 30, 2000, approximately $9.2 million,
including securities at market value for those classified as available for sale
and at amortized cost for those classified as held to maturity, or 4.6% of
Marion Capital's total assets, consisted of such investments.

The following tables set forth the amortized cost and market value of Marion
Capital's investments at the dates indicated.

First Federal Savings Bank of Marion owns 99% of the limited partnership
interests in Pedcor Investments 1987-II, an Indiana limited partnership
("Pedcor-87") organized to build, own, operate and lease a 144-unit apartment
complex in Indianapolis, Indiana. The project, operated as multi-family,
low/moderate income housing project, is complete and performing as planned. A
low/moderate income housing project qualifies for certain tax credits if (i)

                                       134

<PAGE>



it is a residential rental property, (ii) the units are used on a nontransient
basis, and (iii) 20% or more of the units in the project are occupied by tenants
whose incomes are 50% or less of the area median gross income, adjusted for
family size, or, alternatively, at least 40% of the units in the project are
occupied by tenants whose incomes are 60% of the area median gross income.
Qualified low income housing projects generally must comply with these and other
rules for 15 years, beginning with the first year the project qualifies for the
tax credit, or some or all of the tax credit together with interest may be
recaptured. The tax credit is subject to limitations on the use of the general
business credit, but no basis reduction is required for any portion of the tax
credit claimed.

First Federal committed to invest approximately $3.4 million in Pedcor-87 at
inception of the project in January, 1988. First Federal has invested
approximately $3.4 million in Pedcor-87 with no additional annual capital
contribution remaining to be paid. The tax credits resulting from Pedcor-87's
operation of a low/moderate income housing project were available to Marion
Capital through 1998. Although Marion Capital has reduced income tax expense by
the full amount of the tax credit available each year, it has not been able to
fully utilize available tax credits to reduce income taxes payable because it is
not allowed to use tax credits that would reduce its regular corporate tax
liability below its alternative minimum tax liability. First Federal may
carryforward unused tax credits for a period of 15 years and believes it will be
able to utilize available tax credits during the carryforward period.

Pedcor-87 has incurred operating losses from its operations primarily due to
rent limitations for subsidized housing, increased operating costs and other
factors. First Federal has accounted for its investment in Pedcor-87 on the
equity method, and, accordingly, has recorded its shares of these losses, or
impairment losses, as reductions to its investment in Pedcor-87, which at June
30, 2000, was approximately $791,000.

In August 1997, First Federal entered into another limited partnership with
Pedcor Investments organized to build, own, operate and lease a 72-unit
apartment complex in Niles, Michigan. First Federal owns 99% of the partnership,
as a limited partner, in Pedcor Investments-1997-XXIX ("Pedcor-97").

First Federal committed to invest $3.6 million in Pedcor-97 over ten years and
will receive an estimated $3.7 million in tax credits. Contributions are made on
an annual basis and amounted to $415,000 during the year ended June 30, 2000,
and $395,000 during the year ended June 30, 1999. No contributions were made
during the year ended June 30, 1998. First Federal recognized tax credits of
$455,000 during the year ended June 30, 2000. First Federal did not recognize
any tax credits during the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1999. The project was
substantially completed by June 30, 1999. The tax credits from these projects
have the effect of reducing income tax expense, over a ten year period, and
reducing First Federal's federal income taxes payable, to the limits allowed by
alternative minimum tax liability rules. Although these tax credits will be
beneficial to First Federal in future periods, operating losses from the
operations of the facility will increase after the completion of the apartment
complex. These increased operating losses will have an effect of decreasing the
overall return to First Federal on Pedcor-97. First Federal has also accounted
for its investment in Pedcor-97 on the equity method, and, accordingly, has
recorded its share of these losses as reductions to its investment in Pedcor-97,
which at June 30, 2000, was approximately $3,150,000. The unrelated general
partners in Pedcor-87 are two individuals, and the unrelated general partner in
Pedcor-97 is Berrien Woods Housing Company, LLC. Such partners are affiliated
with Pedcor Investments.

In June 1998, Marion Capital capitalized on a unique opportunity to focus and
energize its life insurance product offerings through an equity participation in
Family Financial Life Insurance Company. Family Financial Life is a fully
chartered life insurance company owned by a group of savings banks. In operation
since 1984, Family Financial Life has had an impressive track record of growth,
profits and returns to its financial institution owners. We are now offering
credit life and annuity products with a most advantageous method to increase
insurance earnings and exercise complete control over the quality of insurance
products and services.

Federal regulations require an FHLB-member savings association to maintain an
average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a monthly average of not less
than a specified percentage of its net withdrawable savings deposits plus
short-term borrowings. Liquid assets include cash, certain time deposits,
certain bankers' acceptances, specified U.S. government, state or federal agency
obligations, certain corporate debt securities, commercial paper, certain mutual
funds, certain mortgage-related securities, and certain first lien residential
mortgage loans. This liquidity requirement may be changed from time to time by
the OTS to any amount within the range of 4% to 10%, and is currently 5%,
although the OTS has proposed a reduction of the percentage to 4%. Also, a
savings association currently must maintain short-term liquid assets
constituting at least 1% of its average daily balance of net withdrawable
deposit accounts and current borrowings. Monetary penalties may be imposed for
failure to meet these liquidity requirements. At June 30, 2000, First Federal
had liquid assets of $7.9 million, and a regulatory liquidity ratio of 8.5%.

SOURCES OF FUNDS

GENERAL. Deposits with First Federal have traditionally been Marion Capital's
primary source of funds for use in lending and investment activities. In
addition to deposits, Marion Capital derives funds from loan amortization,
prepayments, retained earnings and income on earning assets. While loan
amortization and income on earning assets are relatively stable sources of
funds, deposit inflows and outflows can vary widely and are influenced by
prevailing interest rates, market conditions and levels of competition. Marion
Capital also relies on borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of
Indianapolis to support First Federal 's loan originations and to assist in
asset/liability management.

DEPOSITS. Deposits are attracted, principally from within Grant and contiguous
counties, through the offering of a broad selection of deposit instruments
including NOW and other transaction accounts, fixed-rate certificates of
deposit, individual retirement accounts, and savings accounts. First Federal
does not actively solicit or advertise for deposits outside of Grant and
surrounding counties. Substantially all of First Federal 's depositors are
residents of those counties. Deposit account terms vary, with the principal
differences being the minimum balance required, the amount of time the funds
remain on deposit and the interest rate. First Federal also has approximately
$453,000 of brokered deposits.

Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are
established by First Federal on a periodic basis. Determination of rates and
terms are predicated on funds acquisition and liquidity requirements, rates paid
by competitors, growth goals, and federal regulations. First Federal relies, in
part, on customer service and long-standing relationships with customers to
attract and retain its deposits, but also aggressively prices its deposits in
relation to rates offered by its competitors.

An analysis of First Federal deposit accounts by type, maturity, and rate at
June 30, 2000, is as follows:

BORROWINGS. Although deposits are Marion Capital's primary source of funds,
Marion Capital's policy has been to utilize borrowings when they are a less
costly source of funds than deposits (taking into consideration the FDIC
insurance premiums payable on deposits) or can be invested at a positive spread.
First Federal often funds originations of its commercial real estate loans with
a simultaneous borrowing from the FHLB of Indianapolis to assure a profit above
its cost of funds.

Marion Capital's borrowings consist of advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis
upon the security of FHLB stock and certain mortgage loans. Such advances are
made pursuant to several different credit programs each of which has its own
interest rate and range of maturities. The maximum amount that the
FHLB-Indianapolis will advance to

member associations, including First Federal , for purposes other than meeting
withdrawals, fluctuates from time to time in accordance with policies of the
FHLB of Indianapolis. At June 30, 2000, FHLB of Indianapolis advances totaled
$29.0 million, representing 14.6% of total assets.

The following table sets forth the maximum month-end balance and average balance
of FHLB advances for the periods indicated, and weighted average interest rates
paid during the periods indicated and as of the end of each of the periods

There are regulatory restrictions on advances from the FHLBs. See "Regulation -
Federal Home Loan Bank System" and "- Qualified Thrift Leader." These
limitations are not expected to have any impact on Marion Capital's ability to
borrow from the FHLB of Indianapolis. Marion Capital does not anticipate any
problem obtaining advances appropriate to meet its requirements in the future,
if such advances should become necessary.

SERVICE CORPORATION SUBSIDIARY

OTS regulations permit federal savings associations to invest in the capital
stock, obligations, or other specified types of securities of subsidiaries
(referred to as "service corporations") and to make loans to such subsidiaries
and joint ventures in which such subsidiaries are participants in an aggregate
amount not exceeding 2% of an association's assets, plus an additional 1% of
assets if the amount over 2% is used for specified community or inner-city
development purposes. In addition, federal regulations permit associations to
make specified types of loans to such subsidiaries (other than special-purpose
finance subsidiaries), in which the association owns more than 10% of the stock,
in an aggregate amount not exceeding 50% of the association's regulatory capital
if the association's regulatory capital is in compliance with applicable
regulations. Current law requires a savings association that acquires a
non-savings association subsidiary, or that elects to conduct a new activity
within a subsidiary, to give the FDIC and the OTS at least 30 days advance
written notice. The FDIC may, after consultation with the OTS, prohibit specific
activities if it determines such activities pose a serious threat to the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF").

First Federal's only subsidiary, First Marion Service Corporation ("First
Marion") was organized in 1971 and currently is engaged in the sale of tax
deferred annuities pursuant to an arrangement with One System, Inc., a licensed
insurance broker, in Indianapolis and other direct carriers, to a lesser extent.
It also sells mutual funds through an arrangement with Lincoln Financial
Advisors, a licensed securities broker, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. First Marion has
one licensed employee engaged in such sales of tax deferred annuities and mutual
funds. In addition,

beginning in July 1995, First Marion began providing 100% financing to borrowers
of First Federal by providing a 20% second mortgage behind First Federal's 80%
mortgage. Such loans amounted to $2.7 million at June 30, 2000.

At June 30, 2000, First Federal's investment in First Marion totaled $2.7
million. During the year ended June 30, 2000, First Marion had net income of
$98,800.

EMPLOYEES

As of June 30, 2000, First Federal employed 44 persons on a full-time basis and
five persons on a part-time basis. None of First Federal's employees are
represented by a collective bargaining group. Management considers its employee
relations to be good.

COMPETITION

First Federal originates most of its loans to and accepts most of its deposits
from residents of Grant and surrounding counties in Indiana. The Decatur branch
was sold to another financial institution in September 1999.

First Federal is subject to competition from various financial institutions,
including state and national banks, state and federal savings institutions,
credit unions, certain non-banking consumer lenders, and other companies or
firms, including brokerage houses and mortgage brokers, that provide similar
services in Grant and surrounding counties. First Federal must also compete with
money market funds and with insurance companies with respect to its individual
retirement accounts.

Under current law, bank holding companies may acquire savings associations.
Savings associations may also acquire banks under federal law. To date, several
bank holding company acquisitions of savings associations in Indiana have been
completed. Affiliations between banks and healthy savings associations based in
Indiana may also increase the competition faced by First Federal and Marion
Capital.

Because of recent changes in Federal law, interstate acquisitions of banks are
less restricted than they were under prior law. Savings associations have
certain powers to acquire savings associations based in other states, and
Indiana law expressly permits reciprocal acquisition of Indiana savings
associations. In addition, Federal savings associations are permitted to branch
on an interstate basis. See "Regulation -- Acquisitions or Dispositions and
Branching."

The primary factors in competing for deposits are interest rates and convenience
of office locations. First Federal competes for loan originations primarily
through the efficiency and quality of services it provides borrowers through
interest rates and loan fees it charges. Competition is affected by, among other
things, the general availability of lendable funds, general and local economic
conditions, current interest rate levels, and other factors which are not
readily predictable.

REGULATION

GENERAL. First Federal Savings Bank of Marion, as a federally chartered savings
bank, is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System ("FHLB System") and its
deposits are insured by the FDIC and it is a member of the Savings Association
Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") which is administered by the FDIC. First Federal is
subject to extensive regulation by the OTS. Federal associations may not enter
into certain transactions unless certain regulatory tests are met or they obtain
prior governmental approval and the associations must file reports with the OTS
about their activities and their financial condition. Periodic compliance
examinations of First Federal are conducted by the OTS which has, in conjunction
with the FDIC in certain situations, examination and enforcement powers. This
supervision and regulation are intended primarily for the protection of
depositors and federal deposit insurance funds. First Federal is also subject to
certain reserve requirements under regulations of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System ("FRB").

An OTS regulation establishes a schedule for the assessment of fees upon all
savings associations to fund the operations of the OTS. The regulation also
establishes a schedule of fees for the various types of applications and

                                       142

<PAGE>
filings made by savings associations with the OTS. The general assessment, to be
paid on a semiannual basis, is based upon the savings association's total
assets, including consolidated subsidiaries, as reported in a recent quarterly
thrift financial report. Currently, the quarterly assessment rates range from
 .015424% of assets for associations with assets of $67 million or less to
 .003388% for associations with assets in excess of $35 billion. First Federal's
semiannual assessment under this assessment scheme, based upon its total assets
at March 31, 2000, was $24,434.

First Federal is also subject to federal and state regulation as to such matters
as loans to officers, directors, or principal shareholders, required reserves,
limitations as to the nature and amount of its loans and investments, regulatory
approval of any merger or consolidation, issuance or retirements of their own
securities, and limitations upon other aspects of banking operations. In
addition, the activities and operations of First Federal are subject to a number
of additional detailed, complex and sometimes overlapping federal and state laws
and regulations. These include state usury and consumer credit laws, state laws
relating to fiduciaries, the Federal Truth-In-Lending Act and Regulation Z, the
Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B, the Fair Credit Reporting
Act, the Community Reinvestment Act, anti-redlining legislation and anti-trust
laws.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM. First Federal Savings Bank of Marion is a member
of the FHLB of Indianapolis, which is one of twelve regional FHLBs. Each FHLB
serves as a reserve or central bank for its member savings associations and
other financial institutions within its assigned region. It is funded primarily
from funds deposited by savings associations and proceeds derived from the sale
of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It makes loans to members (i.e.,
advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by the Board of
Directors of the FHLB. All FHLB advances must be fully secured by sufficient
collateral as determined by the FHLB. The Federal Housing Finance Board
("FHFB"), an independent agency, controls the FHLB System, including the FHLB of
Indianapolis.

As a member, First Federal is required to purchase and maintain stock in the
FHLB of Indianapolis in an amount equal to at least 1% of its aggregate unpaid
residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts, or similar obligations at
the beginning of each year. First Federal is currently in compliance with this
requirement. At June 30, 2000, First Federal's investment in stock of the FHLB
of Indianapolis was $1,654,900. The FHLB imposes various limitations on advances
such as limiting the amount of certain types of real estate-related collateral
to 30% of a member's capital and limiting total advances to a member. Interest
rates charged for advances vary depending upon maturity, the cost of funds to
the FHLB of Indianapolis and the purpose of the borrowing.

In past years, First Federal received dividends on its FHLB stock. All twelve
FHLBs are required by law to provide funds for the resolution of troubled
savings associations and to establish affordable housing programs through direct
loans or interest subsidies on advances to members to be used for lending at
subsidized interest rates for low- and moderate-income, owner-occupied housing
projects, affordable rental housing, and certain other community projects. These
contributions and obligations have adversely affected the level of FHLB
dividends paid and could continue to do so in the future. For the year ending
June 30, 2000, dividends paid to First Federal totaled $112,000, for an annual
rate of 8%.

All FHLB advances must be fully secured by sufficient collateral as determined
by the FHLB. Current law prescribes eligible collateral as first mortgage loans
less than 90 days delinquent or securities evidencing interests therein,
securities (including mortgage-backed securities) issued, insured or guaranteed
by the federal government or any agency thereof, FHLB deposits and, to a limited
extent, real estate with readily ascertainable value in which a perfected
security interest may be obtained. Other forms of collateral may be accepted as
over collateralization or, under certain circumstances, to renew outstanding
advances. All long-term advances are required to provide funds for residential
home financing and the FHLB has established standards of community service that
members must meet to maintain access to long-term advances.

LIQUIDITY. Federal regulations require First Federal to maintain minimum levels
of liquid assets (cash, certain time deposits, bankers' acceptances, specified
United States Government, state or federal agency obligations, shares of mutual
funds and certain corporate debt securities and commercial paper) equal to an
amount not less than a specified percentage of its net withdrawable deposit
accounts plus short-term borrowings. This liquidity requirement may be changed
from time to time by the OTS to an amount within the range of 4% to 10%
depending

                                       143

<PAGE>

upon economic conditions and savings flows of member institutions. The OTS
recently lowered the level of liquid assets that must be held by a savings
association from 5% to 4% of the association's net withdrawable accounts plus
short-term borrowings based upon the average daily balance of such liquid assets
for each quarter of the association's fiscal year. First Federal has
historically maintained its liquidity ratio at a level in excess of that
required. At June 30, 2000, First Federal's liquidity ratio was 8.5% and has
averaged 8.6% over the past three years. First Federal has never been subject to
monetary penalties for failure to meet its liquidity requirements.

INSURANCE OF DEPOSITS.  The FDIC is an  independent  federal agency that insures
the  deposits,  up to  prescribed  statutory  limits,  of banks and  thrifts and
safeguards  the safety and soundness of the banking and thrift  industries.  The
FDIC  administers  two separate  insurance  funds,  the Bank Insurance Fund (the
"BIF") for  commercial  banks and state  savings  banks and the SAIF for savings
associations  such as First Federal and banks that have  acquired  deposits from
savings  associations.  The FDIC is required to  maintain  designated  levels of
reserves in each fund. As of September  30, 1996,  the reserves of the SAIF were
below the level required by law, primarily because a significant  portion of the
assessments  paid into the SAIF  have been used to pay the cost of prior  thrift
failures,  while the  reserves of the BIF met the level  required by law in May,
1995.  However,  on September 30, 1996,  provisions designed to recapitalize the
SAIF and  eliminate the premium  disparity  between the BIF and SAIF were signed
into law as further described below.

The FDIC is authorized to establish separate annual assessment rates for deposit
insurance for members of the BIF and members of the SAIF. The FDIC may increase
assessment rates for either fund if necessary to restore the fund's ratio of
reserves to insured deposits to the target level within a reasonable time and
may decrease these rates if the target level has been met. The FDIC has
established a risk-based assessment system for both SAIF and BIF members. Under
this system, assessments vary depending on the risk the institution poses to its
deposit insurance fund. An institution's risk level is determined based on its
capital level and the FDIC's level of supervisory concern about the institution.

On September 30, 1996, President Clinton signed into law legislation which
included provisions designed to recapitalize the SAIF and eliminate the
significant premium disparity between the BIF and the SAIF. Under the new law,
First Federal Savings Bank of Marion was charged a one-time special assessment
equal to $.657 per $100 in assessable deposits at March 31, 1995. First Federal
Savings Bank of Marion recognized this one-time assessment as a non-recurring
operating expense of $777,000 ($469,000 after tax) during the three-month period
ending September 30, 1996. The assessment was fully deductible for both federal
and state income tax purposes. Beginning January 1, 1997, First Federal Savings
Bank of Marion's annual deposit insurance premium was reduced from .23% to
 .0648% of total assessable deposits. BIF institutions pay lower assessments than
comparable SAIF institutions because BIF institutions pay only 20% of the rate
being paid by SAIF institutions on their deposits with respect to obligations
issued by the federally-chartered corporation which provided some of the
financing to resolve the thrift crisis in the 1980's ("FICO"). The 1996 law also
provides for the merger of the SAIF and the BIF by 1999, but not until such time
as bank and thrift charters are combined. Until the charters are combined,
savings associations with SAIF deposits may not transfer deposits into the BIF
system without paying various exit and entrance fees, and SAIF institutions will
continue to pay higher FICO assessments. Such exit and entrance fees need not be
paid if a SAIF institution converts to a bank charter or merges with a bank, as
long as the resulting bank continues to pay applicable insurance assessments to
the SAIF, and as long as certain other conditions are met.

REGULATORY CAPITAL. Currently, savings associations are subject to three
separate minimum capital-to-assets requirements: (i) a leverage limit, (ii) a
tangible capital requirement, and (iii) a risk-based capital requirement. The
leverage limit requires that savings associations maintain "core capital" of at
least 3% of total assets. The OTS recently adopted a regulation, which became
effective April 1, 1999, that requires savings associations that receive the
highest supervisory rating for safety and soundness to maintain "core capital"
of at least 3% of total assets. All other savings associations must maintain
core capital of at least 4% of total assets. Core capital is generally defined
as common shareholders' equity (including retained income), noncumulative
perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, certain minority equity interests
in subsidiaries, qualifying supervisory goodwill, purchased mortgage servicing
rights and purchased credit card relationships (subject to certain limits) less
nonqualifying intangibles. Under the tangible capital requirement, a savings
association must maintain tangible capital (core capital less all intangible
assets except purchased mortgage servicing rights which may be included after
making the above-noted adjustment in an amount up to 100% of tangible capital)
of at least 1.5% of total assets. Under the risk-based

                                       144

<PAGE>

capital requirements, a minimum amount of capital must be maintained by a
savings association to account for the relative risks inherent in the type and
amount of assets held by the savings association. The risk-based capital
requirement requires a savings association to maintain capital (defined
generally for these purposes as core capital plus general valuation allowances
and permanent or maturing capital instruments such as preferred stock and
subordinated debt less assets required to be deducted) equal to 8.0% of
risk-weighted assets. Assets are ranked as to risk in one of four categories
(0-100%). A credit risk-free asset, such as cash, requires no risk-based
capital, while an asset with a significant credit risk, such as a non-accrual
loan, requires a risk factor of 100%. Moreover, a savings association must
deduct from capital, for purposes of meeting the core capital, tangible capital
and risk- based capital requirements, its entire investment in and loans to a
subsidiary engaged in activities not permissible for a national bank (other than
exclusively agency activities for its customers or mortgage banking
subsidiaries). At June 30, 2000, First Federal was in compliance with all
capital requirements imposed by law.

The OTS has promulgated a rule which sets forth the methodology for calculating
an interest rate risk component to be used by savings associations in
calculating regulatory capital. The OTS has delayed the implementation of this
rule, however. The rule requires savings associations with "above normal"
interest rate risk (institutions whose portfolio equity would decline in value
by more than 2% of assets in the event of a hypothetical 200-basis-point move in
interest rates) to maintain additional capital for interest rate risk under the
risk-based capital framework. If the OTS were to implement this regulation,
First Federal would be exempt from its provisions because it has less than $300
million in assets and its risk-based capital ratio exceeds 12%. First Federal
nevertheless measures its interest rate risk in conformity with the OTS
regulation and, as of June 30, 2000, First Federal's interest rate risk was
within the parameters set forth in the regulation.

If an association is not in compliance with the capital requirements, the OTS is
required to prohibit asset growth and to impose a capital directive that may
restrict, among other things, the payment of dividends and officers'
compensation. In addition, the OTS and the FDIC generally are authorized to take
enforcement actions against a savings association that fails to meet its capital
requirements. These actions may include restricting the operations activities of
the association, imposing a capital directive, cease and desist order, or civil
money penalties, or imposing harsher measures such as appointing a receiver or
conservator or forcing the association to merge into another institution.

PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTION. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement
Act of 1991, as amended ("FedICIA") requires, among other things, that federal
bank regulatory authorities take "prompt corrective action" with respect to
institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. For these purposes,
FedICIA establishes five capital tiers: well capitalized, adequately
capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically
undercapitalized. At June 30, 2000, First Federal was categorized as "well
capitalized," meaning that its total risk-based capital ratio exceeded 10%, its
Tier I risk-based capital ratio exceeded 6%, its leverage ratio exceeded 5%, and
it was not subject to a regulatory order, agreement or directive to meet and
maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.

The FDIC may order savings associations which have insufficient capital to take
corrective actions. For example, a savings association which is categorized as
"undercapitalized" would be subject to growth limitations and would be required
to submit a capital restoration plan, and a holding company that controls such a
savings association would be required to guarantee that the savings association
complies with the restoration plan. "Significantly undercapitalized" savings
associations would be subject to additional restrictions. Savings associations
deemed by the FDIC to be "critically undercapitalized" would be subject to the
appointment of a receiver or conservator.

CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS REGULATION. The OTS recently adopted a regulation, which
became effective on April 1, 1999, that revised the restrictions that apply to
"capital distributions" by savings associations. The amended regulation defines
a capital distribution as a distribution of cash or other property to a savings
association's owners, made on account of their ownership. This definition
includes a savings association's payment of cash dividends to shareholders, or
any payment by a savings association to repurchase, redeem, retire, or otherwise
acquire any of its shares or debt instruments that are included in total
capital, and any extension of credit to finance an affiliate's acquisition of
those shares or interests. The amended regulation does not apply to dividends
consisting only of a savings association's shares or rights to purchase such
shares.


                                       145

<PAGE>

The amended regulation exempts certain savings associations from the requirement
under the previous regulation that all savings associations file either a notice
or an application with the OTS before making any capital distribution. As
revised, the regulation requires a savings association to file an application
for approval of a proposed capital distribution with the OTS if the association
is not eligible for expedited treatment under OTS's application processing
rules, or the total amount of all capital distributions, including the proposed
capital distribution, for the applicable calendar year would exceed an amount
equal to the savings association's net income for that year to date plus the
savings association's retained net income for the preceding two years (the
"retained net income standard"). Application is required by First Federal to pay
dividends in excess of this restriction, and, as of June 30, 2000, First Federal
had approval to pay dividends up to $1,500,000. A savings association must also
file an application for approval of a proposed capital distribution if,
following the proposed distribution, the association would not be at least
adequately capitalized under the OTS prompt corrective action regulations, or if
the proposed distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any
applicable statute, regulation, or agreement between the association and the OTS
or the FDIC.

The amended regulation requires a savings association to file a notice of a
proposed capital distribution in lieu of an application if the association or
the proposed capital distribution do not meet the conditions described above,
and: (1) the savings association will not be at least well capitalized (as
defined under the OTS prompt corrective action regulations) following the
capital distribution; (2) the capital distribution would reduce the amount of,
or retire any part of the savings association's common or preferred stock, or
retire any part of debt instruments such as notes or debentures included in the
association's capital under the OTS capital regulation; or (3) the savings
association is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company. Because First
Federal is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, this latter
provision requires that, at a minimum, First Federal must file a notice with the
OTS thirty days before making any capital distributions to Marion Capital.

In addition to these regulatory restrictions, First Federal's Plan of Conversion
imposes additional limitations on the amount of capital distributions it may
make to Marion Capital. The Plan of Conversion requires First Federal to
establish and maintain a liquidation account for the benefit of Eligible Account
Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and prohibits First Federal
from making capital distributions to Marion Capital if its net worth would be
reduced below the amount required for the liquidation account.

LIMITATIONS ON RATES PAID FOR DEPOSITs. Regulations promulgated by the FDIC
pursuant to FedICIA place limitations on the ability of insured depository
institutions to accept, renew or roll over deposits by offering rates of
interest which are significantly higher than the prevailing rates of interest on
deposits offered by other insured depository institutions having the same type
of charter in the institution's normal market area. Under these regulations,
"well-capitalized" depository institutions may accept, renew or roll such
deposits over without restriction, "adequately capitalized" depository
institutions may accept, renew or roll such deposits over with a waiver from the
FDIC (subject to certain restrictions on payments of rates) and
"undercapitalized" depository institutions may not accept, renew or roll such
deposits over. The regulations contemplate that the definitions of "well
capitalized," "adequately capitalized" and "undercapitalized" will be the same
as the definition adopted by the agencies to implement the corrective action
provisions of FedICIA. First Federal does not believe that these regulations
will have a materially adverse effect on its current operations.

SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS STANDARDS. On February 2, 1995, the federal banking
agencies adopted final safety and soundness standards for all insured depository
institutions. The standards, which were issued in the form of guidelines rather
than regulations, relate to internal controls, information systems, internal
audit systems, loan underwriting and documentation, compensation and interest
rate exposure. In general, the standards are designed to assist the federal
banking agencies in identifying and addressing problems at insured depository
institutions before capital becomes impaired. If an institution fails to meet
these standards, the appropriate federal banking agency may require the
institution to submit a compliance plan. Failure to submit a compliance plan may
result in enforcement proceedings. On August 27, 1996, the federal banking
agencies added asset quality and earning standards to the safety and soundness
guidelines.

REAL ESTATE LENDING STANDARDS. OTS regulations require savings associations to
establish and maintain written internal real estate lending policies. Each
association's lending policies must be consistent with safe and sound banking
practices and appropriate to the size of the association and the nature and
scope of its operations. The

                                       146

<PAGE>

policies must establish loan portfolio diversification standards; establish
prudent underwriting standards, including loan-to-value limits, that are clear
and measurable; establish loan administration procedures for the association's
real estate portfolio; and establish documentation, approval, and reporting
requirements to monitor compliance with the association's real estate lending
policies. The association's written real estate lending policies must be
reviewed and approved by the association's board of directors at least annually.
Further, each association is expected to monitor conditions in its real estate
market to ensure that its lending policies continue to be appropriate for
current market conditions.

LOANS TO ONE BORROWER. Under OTS regulations, First Federal may not make a loan
or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of
its unimpaired capital and surplus. Additional amounts may be lent, not in
excess of 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if such loans or extensions of
credit are fully secured by readily marketable collateral, including certain
debt and equity securities but not including real estate. In some cases, a
savings association may lend up to 30 percent of unimpaired capital and surplus
to one borrower for purposes of developing domestic residential housing,
provided that the association meets its regulatory capital requirements and the
OTS authorizes the association to use this expanded lending authority. At June
30, 2000, First Federal did not have any loans or extensions of credit to a
single or related group of borrowers not in compliance with OTS regulations.
First Federal does not believe that the loans-to-one-borrower limits will have a
significant impact on its business operations or earnings.

Transactions with Affiliates. First Federal and Marion Capital are subject to
Sections 22(h), 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, which restrict financial
transactions between banks and affiliated companies. The statute limits credit
transactions between a bank and its executive officers and its affiliates,
prescribes terms and conditions for bank affiliate transactions deemed to be
consistent with safe and sound banking practices, and restricts the types of
collateral security permitted in connection with a bank's extension of credit to
an affiliate.

HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION. Marion Capital is regulated as a "non-diversified
unitary savings and loan holding company" within the meaning of the Home Owners'
Loan Act, as amended ("HOLA"), and subject to regulatory oversight of the
Director of the OTS. As such, Marion Capital is registered with the OTS and
thereby subject to OTS regulations, examinations, supervision and reporting
requirements. As a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, First
Federal is subject to certain restrictions in its dealings with Marion Capital
and with other companies affiliated with Marion Capital.

The HOLA generally prohibits a savings and loan holding company, without prior
approval of the Director of the OTS, from (i) acquiring control of any other
savings association or savings and loan holding company or controlling the
assets thereof or (ii) acquiring or retaining more than 5 percent of the voting
shares of a savings association or holding company thereof which is not a
subsidiary. Except with the prior approval of the Director of the OTS, no
director or officer of a savings and loan holding company or person owning or
controlling by proxy or otherwise more than 25% of such company's stock may also
acquire control of any savings institution, other than a subsidiary institution,
or any other savings and loan holding company.

Marion Capital's Board of Directors presently intends to continue to operate
Marion Capital as a unitary savings and loan holding company. Under current OTS
regulations, there are generally no restrictions on the permissible business
activities of a unitary savings and loan holding company.

Notwithstanding the above rules as to permissible business activities of unitary
savings and loan holding companies, if the savings association subsidiary of
such a holding company fails to meet the Qualified Thrift Lender ("QTL") test,
then such unitary holding company would become subject to the activities
restrictions applicable to multiple holding companies. (Additional restrictions
on securing advances from the FHLB also apply). See "--Qualified Thrift Lender."
At June 30, 2000, First Federal's asset composition was in excess of that
required to qualify First Federal as a Qualified Thrift Lender.

If Marion Capital were to acquire control of another savings institution other
than through a merger or other business combination with First Federal , Marion
Capital would thereupon become a multiple savings and loan holding company.
Except where such acquisition is pursuant to the authority to approve emergency
thrift

                                       147

<PAGE>
acquisitions and where each subsidiary savings association meets the QTL test,
the activities of Marion Capital and any of its subsidiaries (other than First
Federal or other subsidiary savings associations) would thereafter be subject to
further restrictions. The HOLA provides that, among other things, no multiple
savings and loan holding company or subsidiary thereof which is not a savings
association shall commence or continue for a limited period of time after
becoming a multiple savings and loan holding company or subsidiary thereof, any
business activity other than (i) furnishing or performing management services
for a subsidiary savings association, (ii) conducting an insurance agency or
escrow business, (iii) holding, managing, or liquidating assets owned by or
acquired from a subsidiary savings institution, (iv) holding or managing
properties used or occupied by a subsidiary savings institution, (v) acting as
trustee under deeds of trust, (vi) those activities previously directly
authorized by the FSLIC by regulation as of March 5, 1987, to be engaged in by
multiple holding companies or (vii) those activities authorized by the FRB as
permissible for bank holding companies, unless the Director of the OTS by
regulation prohibits or limits such activities for savings and loan holding
companies. Those activities described in (vii) above must also be approved by
the Director of the OTS prior to being engaged in by a multiple holding company.
The Director of the OTS may also approve acquisitions resulting in the formation
of a multiple savings and loan holding company which controls savings
associations in more than one state, if the multiple savings and loan holding
company involved controls a savings association which operated a home or branch
office in the state of the association to be acquired as of March 5,1987, or if
the laws of the state in which the institution to be acquired is located
specifically permit institutions to be acquired by state-chartered institutions
or savings and loan holding companies located in the state where the acquiring
entity is located (or by a holding company that controls such state-chartered
savings institutions). Also, the Director of the OTS may approve an acquisition
resulting in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings
associations in more than one state in the case of certain emergency thrift
acquisitions.

Indiana law permits federal and state savings association holding companies with
their home offices located outside of Indiana to acquire savings associations
whose home offices are located in Indiana and savings association holding
companies with their principal place of business in Indiana ("Indiana Savings
Association Holding Companies") upon receipt of approval by the Indiana
Department of Financial Institutions. Moreover, Indiana Savings Association
Holding Companies may acquire savings associations with their home offices
located outside of Indiana and savings associations holding companies with their
principal place of business located outside of Indiana upon receipt of approval
by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions.

No subsidiary savings association of a savings and loan holding company may
declare or pay a dividend on its permanent or nonwithdrawable stock unless it
first gives the Director of the OTS 30 days advance notice of such declaration
and payment. Any dividend declared during such period or without the giving of
such notice shall be invalid.

FEDERAL SECURITIES LAW. The shares of common stock of Marion Capital are
registered with the SEC under the 1934 Act. Marion Capital is subject to the
information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other
requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules of the SEC thereunder. If Marion
Capital has fewer than 300 shareholders, it may deregister the shares under the
1934 Act and cease to be subject to the foregoing requirements. Shares of Common
Stock held by persons who are affiliates of Marion Capital may not be resold
without registration or unless sold in accordance with the resale restrictions
of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act. If Marion Capital meets the current public
information requirements under Rule 144, each affiliate of Marion Capital who
complies with the other conditions of Rule 144 (including conditions that
require the affiliate's sale to be aggregated with those of certain other
persons) would be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a
number of shares not to exceed, in any three-month period, the greater of (i) 1%
of the outstanding shares of Marion Capital or (ii) the average weekly volume of
trading in such shares during the preceding four calendar weeks. Qualified
Thrift Lender. Savings associations must meet a QTL test. If First Federal
maintains an appropriate level of qualified thrift investments ("QTIs")
(primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including certain
mortgage-related securities) and otherwise qualifies as a QTL, First Federal
will continue to enjoy full borrowing privileges from the FHLB of Indianapolis.
The required percentage of QTIs is 65% of portfolio assets (defined as all
assets minus intangible assets, property used by the association in conducting
its business and liquid assets equal to 10% of total assets). Certain assets are
subject to a percentage limitation of 20% of portfolio assets. In addition,

savings associations may include shares of stock of the FHLBs, FNMA, and FHLMC
as QTIs. Compliance with the QTL test is determined on a monthly basis in nine
out of every twelve months.

A savings association which fails to meet the QTL test must either convert to a
bank (but its deposit insurance assessments and payments will be those of and
paid to SAIF) or be subject to the following penalties: (i) it may not enter
into any new activity except for those permissible for a national bank and for a
savings association; (ii) its branching activities shall be limited to those of
a national bank; (iii) it shall not be eligible for any new FHLB advances; and
(iv) it shall be bound by regulations applicable to national banks respecting
payment of dividends. Three years after failing the QTL test the association
must (i) dispose of any investment or activity not permissible for a national
bank and a savings association and (ii) repay all outstanding FHLB advances. If
such a savings association is controlled by a savings and loan holding company,
then such holding company must, within a prescribed time period, become
registered as a bank holding company and become subject to all rules and
regulations applicable to bank holding companies (including restrictions as to
the scope of permissible business activities).

A savings association failing to meet the QTL test may requalify as a QTL if it
thereafter meets the QTL test. In the event of such requalification it shall not
be subject to the penalties described above. A savings association which
subsequently again fails to qualify under the QTL test shall become subject to
all of the described penalties without application of any waiting period.

At June 30, 2000, 74.28% of First Federal's portfolio assets (as defined on that
date) were invested in qualified thrift investments (as defined on that date),
and therefore First Federal's asset composition was in excess of that required
to qualify First Federal as a QTL. Also, First Federal does not expect to
significantly change its lending or investment activities in the near future.
First Federal expects to continue to qualify as a QTL, although there can be no
such assurance.

ACQUISITIONS OR DISPOSITIONS AND BRANCHING. The Bank Holding Company Act
specifically authorizes a bank holding company, upon receipt of appropriate
regulatory approvals, to acquire control of any savings association or holding
company thereof wherever located. Similarly, a savings and loan holding company
may acquire control of a bank. Moreover, federal savings associations may
acquire or be acquired by any insured depository institution. Regulations
promulgated by the FRB restrict the branching authority of savings associations
acquired by bank holding companies. Savings associations acquired by bank
holding companies may be converted to banks if they continue to pay SAIF
premiums, but as such they become subject to branching and activity restrictions
applicable to banks.

Subject to certain exceptions, commonly controlled banks and savings
associations must reimburse the FDIC for any losses suffered in connection with
a failed bank or savings association affiliate. Institutions are commonly
controlled if one is owned by another or if both are owned by the same holding
company. Such claims by the FDIC under this provision are subordinate to claims
of depositors, secured creditors, and holders of subordinated debt, other than
affiliates.

The OTS has adopted regulations which permit nationwide branching to the extent
permitted by federal statute. Federal statutes permit federal savings
associations to branch outside of their home state if the association meets the
domestic building and loan test in ss.7701(a)(19) of the Code or the asset
composition test of ss.7701(c) of the Code. Branching that would result in the
formation of a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings
associations in more than one state is permitted if the law of the state in
which the savings association to be acquired is located specifically authorizes
acquisitions of its state-chartered associations by state- chartered
associations or their holding companies in the state where the acquiring
association or holding company is located. Moreover, Indiana banks and savings
associations are permitted to acquire other Indiana banks and savings
associations and to establish branches throughout Indiana.

Finally, the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994
(the "Riegle-Neal Act") permits bank holding companies to acquire banks in other
states and, with state consent and subject to certain limitations, allows banks
to acquire out-of-state branches either through merger or de novo expansion. The
State of Indiana

                                       149

<PAGE>

enacted legislation establishing interstate branching provisions for Indiana
state-chartered banks consistent with those established by the Riegle-Neal Act
(the "Indiana Branching Law"). The Indiana Branching Law authorizes Indiana
banks to branch interstate by merger or de novo expansion, provided that such
transactions are not permitted to out-of-state banks unless the laws of their
home states permit Indiana banks to merge or establish de novo banks on a
reciprocal basis. The Indiana Branching Law became effective March 15, 1996.

COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT MATTERS. Federal law requires that ratings of
depository institutions under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA") be
disclosed. The disclosure includes both a four-unit descriptive rating --
outstanding, satisfactory, unsatisfactory and needs improvement -- and a written
evaluation of each institution's performance. Each FHLB is required to establish
standards of community investment or service that its members must maintain for
continued access to long-term advances from the FHLBs. The standards take into
account a member's performance under the CRA and its record of lending to
first-time home buyers. The examiners have determined that First Federal has a
satisfactory record of meeting community credit needs.

TAXATION

FEDERAL TAXATION. Historically, savings associations, such as First Federal ,
have been permitted to compute bad debt deductions using either First Federal
experience method or the percentage of taxable income method. However, for years
beginning after December 31, 1995, First Federal is not able to use the
percentage of taxable income method of computing its allowable tax bad debt
deduction. First Federal will be required to compute its allowable deduction
using the experience method. As a result of the repeal of the percentage of
taxable income method, reserves taken after 1987 using the percentage of taxable
income method generally must be included in future taxable income over a
six-year period, although a two-year delay may be permitted for institutions
meeting a residential mortgage loan origination test. In addition, the pre-1988
reserve, for which no deferred taxes have been recorded, will not have to be
recaptured into income unless (i) First Federal no longer qualifies as a bank
under the Code, or (ii) excess dividends are paid out by First Federal .

Depending on the composition of its items of income and expense, a savings
association may be subject to the alternative minimum tax. A savings association
must pay an alternative minimum tax equal to the amount (if any) by which 20% of
alternative minimum taxable income ("AMTI"), as reduced by an exemption varying
with AMTI, exceeds the regular tax due. AMTI equals regular taxable income
increased or decreased by certain tax preferences and adjustments, including
depreciation deductions in excess of that allowable for alternative minimum tax
purposes, tax-exempt interest on most private activity bonds issued after August
7, 1986 (reduced by any related interest expense disallowed for regular tax
purposes), the amount of the bad debt reserve deduction claimed in excess of the
deduction based on the experience method and 75% of the excess of adjusted
current earnings over AMTI (before this adjustment and before any alternative
tax net operating loss). AMTI may be reduced only up to 90% by net operating
loss carryovers, but alternative minimum tax paid that is attributable to most
preferences can be credited against regular tax due in later years.

STATE TAXATION. First Federal is subject to Indiana's Financial Institutions Tax
("FIT"), which is imposed at a flat rate of 8.5% on "adjusted gross income."
"Adjusted gross income," for purposes of FIT, begins with taxable income as
defined by Section 63 of the Code and, thus, incorporates federal tax law to the
extent that it affects the computation of taxable income. Federal taxable income
is then adjusted by several Indiana modifications the most notable of which is
the required addback of interest that is tax-free for federal income tax
purposes. Other applicable state taxes include generally applicable sales and
use taxes plus real and personal property taxes.

Marion Capital's state income tax returns have not been audited in the last five
years.

reports, proxy information statements, and other information regarding
registrants that file electronically with the Commission, including Marion
Capital. The address is (http://www.sec.gov).

At June 30, 2000, First Federal conducted its business from its main office at
100 West Third Street, Marion, Indiana, and two branch offices. Two of the
full-service offices are owned by First Federal.

                          FUTURE SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

In order to be eligible for inclusion in MUTUALFIRST's proxy materials for next
year's annual meeting of shareholders, any shareholder proposal must be received
at MUTUALFIRST's executive office at 110 E. Charles Street, Muncie, Indiana
47305-2400 no later than November 24, 2000. Any such proposal shall be subject
to the requirements of the proxy rules adopted under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. Otherwise, any shareholder proposal to take action at such
meeting must be received at MUTUALFIRST's executive office no later than January
26, 2001 and no earlier than December 27, 2000; provided, however, that in the
event that the date of the annual

                                       151

<PAGE>


meeting is held before March 27, 2001, or after June 25, 2001, the shareholder
proposal must be received not later than the close of business on the later of
the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on
which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or public announcement
of the date of such meeting was first made. All shareholder proposals must also
comply with MUTUALFIRST's bylaws and Maryland law.

If the merger takes place, Marion Capital will have no more annual meetings. If
the merger does not take place, any Marion Capital shareholder who wished to
submit a shareholder proposal for possible inclusion in the proxy statement and
proxy for Marion Capital's 2000 annual meeting of shareholders must do within a
reasonable time before Marion Capital prints and mails it proxy materials for
such meeting. Any such proposal should be sent to the attention of the Secretary
of Marion Capital at 100 West Third Street, Marion, Indiana 46952. A shareholder
proposal being submitted outside the processes of Rule 14a-8 promulgated under

in a reasonable time before Marion Capital mails its proxy materials for the
2000 annual meeting. If Marion Capital receives notice of such proposal after
such time, each proxy that Marion Capital receives will confer upon it the
discretionary authority to vote on the proposal in the manner the proxies deem
appropriate.

                   INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

ITEM 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Article 12 of MutualFirst's Articles of Incorporation provides for the
indemnification of current and former directors and officers of MutualFirst
against liability up to the fullest extent required or permitted by Maryland
General Corporation Law, including but not limited to expenses incurred in any
proceeding. Article 12, subparagraph E also provides for the authority to
purchase insurance with respect thereto.

Section 2-418 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland authorizes
a corporation's Board of Directors to grant indemnity under certain
circumstances to directors and officers, when made, or threatened to be made,
parties to certain proceedings by reason of such status with the corporation,
against judgments, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred
in connection with the proceeding. In addition, under certain circumstances such
persons may be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in
defense of a proceeding by or on behalf of the corporation. Indemnification is
permitted where such person (i) was acting in good faith; (ii) the conduct was
not the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (iii) with respect to a
criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was not
unlawful; and (iv) was not adjudged to be liable to the corporation or other
corporation or enterprise (unless the court where the proceeding was brought
determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity).

Unless ordered by a court, indemnification may be made only following a
determination that such indemnification is permissible because the person being
indemnified has met the requisite standard of conduct. Such determination may be
made (i) by the Board of Directors of the Company by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors, not at the time parties to such proceeding; or if such
a quorum cannot be obtained then by a majority vote of a committee of the board,
not at the time parties to such a proceeding; or (ii) by special legal counsel
appointed by the board or a committee of the board by vote as set forth in
subparagraph (i); or (iii) by the stockholders.

Section 2-418(f) also permits expenses incurred by directors and officers in
defending a proceeding to be paid by the corporation in advance of the final
disposition of such proceedings upon the receipt of an undertaking by the
director or officer to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he
is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation against such expenses.

Item 21. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

     (a)  Exhibits. See Exhibit Index
     (b)  Financial Statement Schedules. Not applicable.
     (c)  Reports, Opinions or Appraisals. Not applicable.

Item 22.  Undertakings.

     (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

          (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
     Securities Act of 1933;

          (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
     the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
     post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
     represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
     registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
     decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
     securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
     deviation from the low or high end of the estimated

                                      II-1

<PAGE>


     maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
     with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
     changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
     maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
     Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

          (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
     distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
     material change to such information in the registration statement;

     (2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to
any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a
prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or
party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the
issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information
called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by
persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called
for by the other Items of the applicable form.

     (d) The undersigned Registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is
filed pursuant to paragraph (c) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to
meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection
with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of
an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such
amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (e) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

     (f) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to
Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the
date of responding to the request.

     (g) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the registration statement when it became effective.

                          Independent Auditor's Report


     Board of Directors
     MFS Financial, Inc. and Subsidiary
     Muncie, Indiana


     We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet  of  MFS
     Financial,  Inc. and  subsidiary as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,  and the
     related consolidated  statements of income,  stockholders' equity, and cash
     flows for each of the three years in the period  ended  December  31, 1999.
     These  consolidated  financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the
     Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
     consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
     standards.  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  described  above
     present  fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial
     position of MFS Financial,  Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1999 and
     1998, and the results of their  operations and their cash flows for each of
     the three years in the period ended  December 31, 1999 in  conformity  with
     generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 1 -- Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting  policies of MFS 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 generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and reporting  practices
followed  by the thrift  industry.  The more  significant  of the  policies  are
described below.

During 1998, Kosciusko Service  Corporation,  a formerly wholly owned subsidiary
of the Bank, was merged into the Bank.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles 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  Delaware,   Kosciusko,   Randolph  and
surrounding  counties.  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.  Third MFSB offers tax  deferred
annuities and long-term health care and life insurance products.

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

Investment  Securities--Debt  securities are classified as held to maturity when
the  Company  has the  positive  intent and  ability to hold the  securities  to
maturity.  Securities  held to maturity  are  carried at  amortized  cost.  Debt
securities  not  classified  as held to  maturity,  or  included  in the trading
account  and  marketable  equity  securities  not  classified  as  trading,  are
classified as available for sale.  Securities  available for sale are carried at
fair value with unrealized  gains and losses reported  separately in accumulated
other comprehensive  income, net of tax. Trading account securities are held for
resale in  anticipation  of short-term  market  movements and are valued at fair
value.  Gains and losses,  both realized and  unrealized,  are included in other
income.

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.

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 outstanding are not considered  impaired.  Certain  nonaccrual
and substantially delinquent loans may be considered to be impaired. The Company
considers its investmen 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  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,  1999,  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  is  adequate  based  on
information  currently available.  A worsening or protracted economic decline in
the area within which the Company  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.

Investment  in limited  partnerships  is  recorded  using 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.

Foreclosed  assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated
selling costs. When foreclosed assets are acquired,  any required  adjustment is
charged to the allowance for loan losses. All subsequent activity is included in
current operations.

Intangible  assets  are  being  amortized   primarily  on  a  straight-line  and
accelerated  basis  over a period  of 15 years.  Such  assets  are  periodically
evaluated as to the recoverability of their carrying value.

Mortgage  servicing rights on originated loans 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.

Income tax in the consolidated  statement 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 its subsidiary.

Earnings per share will be computed  based upon the weighted  average common and
potential common shares  outstanding  during the period subsequent to the Bank's
conversion  to a stock  savings bank on December 29, 1999.  Net income per share
for the periods prior to the conversion is not meaningful.

Reclassifications of certain amounts in the 1998 and 1997 consolidated financial
statements have been made to conform to the 1999 presentation.


Note 2 -- Conversion

On  December  29,  1999,  the Bank  completed  the  conversion  from a federally
chartered mutual institution to a federally chartered stock savings bank and the
formation  of the  Company as the  holding  company of the Bank.  As part of the
conversion,  the  Company  issued  5,595,780  shares of common  stock at $10 per
share.  Net proceeds of the Company's stock issuance,  after costs of $1,391,000
and  excluding  the  shares  issued  for the ESOP,  were  $49,911,000,  of which
$27,284,000  was used to acquire 100% of th stock and ownership of the Bank. The
transaction  was accounted for at  historical  cost in a manner  similar to that
utilized in a pooling of  interests.  In  connection  with the  Conversion,  the
Company  contributed  223,831  shares of common stock and cash of  $2,238,000 to
Mutual Federal  Savings Bank Charitable  Foundation,  Inc. (the  Foundation),  a
charitable  foundation  dedicated to  community  development  activities  in the
Company's  market  areas.  This  resulted in the  recognition  of an  additional
$4,477,000 charitable contribution expense for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Note 3 -- Restriction on Cash

The Bank is required to maintain  reserve  funds in cash and/or on deposit  with
the Federal  Reserve  Bank.  The reserve  required at  December  31,  1999,  was
$2,925,000.

</TABLE>

The Company has a charitable  contribution  carryover of $4,570,000 that expires
in the year ending December 31, 2005.

Income tax expense attributable to securities gains was $12,800, $400 and $1,200
for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and 1997.

Retained earnings include approximately  $6,443,000 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 $2,552,000.

Note 15 -- 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
Bank'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  statement of
financial condition.

Financial  instruments  whose  contract  amount  represents  credit risk were as

Standby letters of credit                         3,617          2,500

</TABLE>

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 Bank evaluates each customer's  credit
worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed
necessary by the Bank 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 Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.

The Company and  subsidiary  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 16 -- 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 calendar year plus
those for the previous two calendar years. The Bank normally restricts dividends
to a  lesser  amount  because  of the  need  to  maintain  an  adequate  capital
structure.

At the time of conversion,  a liquidation  account was  established in an amount
equal to the Banks' net worth as reflected in the latest  statement of condition
used in its final  conversion  offering  circular.  The  liquidation  account is
maintained  for the benefit of eligible  deposit  account  holders who  maintain
their deposit account in the Bank after  conversion.  In the event of a complete
liquidation,  and only in such event,  each eligible deposit account holder will
be entitled to receive a liquidation  distribution from the liquidation  account
in the  amount of the then  current  adjusted  subaccount  balance  for  deposit
accounts  then  held,  before  any  liquidation  distribution  may  be  made  to
stockholders.  Except for the repurchase of stock and payment of dividends,  the
existence of the liquidation account will not restrict the use or application of
net worth. The initial balance of the liquidation account was $45,619,000.

At December 31, 1999, the stockholder's  equity of the Bank was $74,628,000,  of
which approximately $7,966,000 was available for the payment of dividends to the
Company.

Note 17 -- 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, 1999 and 1998,
the Bank is categorized as well capitalized and met all subject capital adequacy
requirements.  There are no  conditions  or events since  December 31, 1999 that
management believes have changed the Bank's classification.

The Bank's actual and required capital amounts and ratios are as follows:

Note 18 -- 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.  For the years ended  December  31, 1999,  1998 and 1997,  the Company
matched  employees'  contributions  at  the  rate  of 50%  for  the  first  $600
participant  contributions  to the 401(k) and made a contribution  to the profit
sharing plan of 7% of qualified compensation. The Company's expense for the plan
was $286,000,  $284,000 and $252,500 fo the years ended December 31, 1999,  1998
and 1997.

The  Company  has a  supplemental  retirement  plan  and  deferred  compensation
arrangements for the benefit of certain officers.  These arrangements are funded
by life  insurance  contracts  which have been  purchased  by the  Company.  The
Company's expense for the plan was $214,000, $188,000 and $164,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997.

The  Company 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 funded by life insurance
contracts  which have been purchased by the Company.  The Company's  expense for
the plan was  $106,000,  $117,000 and $105,000 for the years ended  December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997.

As part of the  conversion  in 1999,  the Company  established  an ESOP covering
substantially all its employees. The ESOP acquired 465,568 shares of the Company
common stock at $10 per share in the  conversion  with funds  provided by a loan
from the Company.  Accordingly,  the  $4,655,680 of common stock acquired by the
ESOP is shown as a reduction of stockholders'  equity. At December 31, 1999, the
Company had 444,979 unearned ESOP shares with a fair value of $4,339,000. Shares
are released to participants proportionately as the loan is repaid. Dividends on
allocated  shares are  recorded as dividends  and charged to retained  earnings.
Dividends on unallocated  shares,  which may be distributed to participants,  or
used to repay the loan are treated as compensation expense. 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 the year ended  December  31,
1999 was  $199,000.  At December  31, 1999,  the ESOP had no  allocated  shares,
444,979 suspense shares and 20,589 committed-to-be released shares.

In  connection  with the  conversion,  the Board of  Directors  approved a Stock
Option Plan and a  Recognition  and Award Plan  (RAP).  The Plans are subject to
stockholders'  approval.  Under the stock option plan,  stock  options  covering
shares  representing an aggregate of up to 10% of the common stock issued in the
conversion may be granted to directors and executive officers.  Restricted stock
awards  covering up to 4% of the common  stock issued in the  conversion  may be
awarded to directors and executiv officers under the RAP.

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.

Securities  and  Mortgage-Backed  Securities--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.

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.

Securities Sold Under  Repurchase  Agreements--Securities  sold under repurchase
agreements  are  short-term  borrowing  arrangements.  The rates at December 31,
1999, approximate market rates, thus the fair value approximates carrying value.

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.

Note  Payable  to  Pedcor--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.

                  MutualFirst Financial, Inc. and Subsidiaries
         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:  Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MutualFirst
Financial, Inc. (the "Company"), its wholly owned subsidiary, Mutual Federal
Savings Bank, a federally chartered savings bank ("Mutual Federal"), and Mutual
Federal's two wholly owned subsidiaries, First MFSB Corporation and Third MFSB
Corporation. A summary of significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 1
of Notes to Financial Statements included in the December 31, 1999 Annual Report
to Shareholders. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

The interim consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore do not include all
information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

The interim consolidated condensed financial statements at June 30, 2000, and
for the three month and six month periods ended, June 30, 2000 and 1999 have not
been audited by independent accountants, but in the opinion of management,
reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows for such periods.

NOTE 2:  Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted average common and
common equivalent shares outstanding during the period subsequent to Mutual
Federal's conversion to a stock savings bank on December 29, 1999. Unearned
Employee Stock Ownership Plan shares have been excluded from the computation of
average common shares outstanding. For the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2000, weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted
earnings per share were 5,386,557 and 5,382,582 respectively.

NOTE 3:  Business Combination
On June 7, 2000, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire Marion
Capital Holdings, Inc. (Marion, Indiana). The acquisition will be accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting. Under the terms of the agreement, the
Company will exchange 1.862 shares of the Company's common stock for each share
of Marion Capital Holdings, Inc.'s common stock. The transaction is subject to
approval by shareholders of Marion Capital Holdings, Inc. and appropriate
regulatory agencies. As of June 30, 2000, Marion Capital Holdings, Inc. had
total assets and shareholders' equity of $198,867,000 and $31,785,000,
respectively.

                          Independent Auditor's Report


     Board of Directors
     Marion Capital Holdings, Inc.
     Marion, Indiana


     We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial
     condition of Marion Capital Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30,
     2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income,
     shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
     period ended June 30, 2000. These consolidated financial statements are the
     responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
     express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
     audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
     standards. 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 described above
     present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
     position of Marion Capital Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30,
     2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
     each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2000, in conformity
     with generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Marion Capital Holdings, Inc. (Company)
and its wholly owned subsidiary, First Federal Savings Bank of Marion (Bank) and
the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, First Marion Service Corporation (FMSC),
conform to generally accepted accounting principles 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 generally accepted
accounting principles 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 and management 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 residential and commercial mortgage and consumer 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 and consumer assets. FMSC is engaged in the selling of financial
services.

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

Investment Securities--Debt securities are classified as held to maturity when
the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to
maturity. Securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost. Debt
securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as available for
sale. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized
gains and losses reported separately in accumulated other comprehensive income.

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.

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 Bank will be
unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. All loans, including nonperforming
loans, are reviewed for impairment. Loans whose payments have insignificant
delays not exceeding 90 days outstanding are not considered impaired. Certain
nonaccrual and substantially delinquent loan may be considered to be impaired.
The Bank 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. Collateralized and
noncollateralized consumer loans after 180 and 120 days of delinquency,
respectively, are charged off. 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. A loan is transferred to nonaccrual status after 90
days of delinquency. 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 lives of the loans. When a loan is paid
off or sold, any unamortized loan origination fee balance is credited to income.

Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated
selling costs. When foreclosed real estate is acquired, any required adjustment
is charged to the allowance for real estate losses. All subsequent activity is
included in current operations. Realized gains and losses are recorded upon the
sale of real estate, with gains deferred and recognized on the installment
method for sales not qualifying for the full accrual method.

Allowances for loan and real estate losses are maintained to absorb potential
loan and real estate losses based on management's continuing review and
evaluation of the loan and real estate portfolios and its judgment as to the
impact of economic conditions on the portfolios. The evaluation by management
includes consideration of past loss experience, changes in the composition of
the portfolios, the current condition and amount of loans and foreclosed real
estate 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 determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the
valuation of real estate is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible
to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions.
Management believes that as of June 30, 2000, the allowance for loan losses and
carrying value of foreclosed real estate are adequate based on information
currently available. A worsening or protracted economic decline in the area
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. 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.

Intangible assets are being amortized on an accelerated basis over fifteen
years. Such assets are periodically evaluated as to the recoverability of their
carrying value.

Mortgage servicing rights on originated loans 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.

Investments in limited partnerships are recorded using 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.

Stock options are granted for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price
equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The Company accounts
for and will continue to account for stock option grants in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and, accordingly, recognizes no compensation expense for the stock
option grants.

Income tax in the consolidated statement 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. Business
tax credits are deducted from federal income tax in the year the credits are
used to reduce income taxes payable. The Company files consolidated income tax
returns with its subsidiaries.

Earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted average common and
potential common shares outstanding during each year.

Note 2 -- Merger Information

In June 2000, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (agreement) to
merge with MutualFirst Financial, Inc. (Mutual), Muncie, Indiana. Under the
agreement, shareholders of the Company would receive 1.862 shares of Mutual
common stock for each share of Company common stock owned. The merger will be
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The merger is subject to
approval by the Company shareholders and regulatory agencies and is expected to
be consummated before the end of the calendar year 2000.

The Company agreed to pay a transaction fee to an investment banking firm of
1.00% of the total fair market value of any securities issued and any non-cash
and cash consideration received as of closing of the merger. The Company paid
$25,000 of the transaction fee during the year ended June 30, 2000. An
additional $25,000 is due upon mailing of proxy material to shareholders with
the balance due at closing. In addition, the Company agreed to pay $35,000 to a
separate investment banking firm for a fairness opinion (opinion). The Company
has paid $26,250 of the fee during the year ended June 30, 2000, with the
balance due upon delivery of the opinion. Both of the fees paid during the year
ended June 30, 2000 are included in merger expenses and charged against net

No valuation allowance was considered necessary at June 30, 2000 and 1999.

At June 30, 2000, the Company had an unused business income tax credit
carryforward of $601,000, which expires in 2014.

Retained earnings include approximately $8,300,000 for which no deferred income
tax liability has been recognized. This amount represents an allocation of
income to bad debt deductions as of June 30, 1988 for tax purposes only.
Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than tax bad debt losses
including redemption of bank stock or excess dividends, or loss of "bank"
status, would create income for tax purposes only, which income would be subject
to the then-current corporate income tax rate. At June 30, 2000, the unrecorded
deferred income tax liability on the above amount was approximately $3,300,000.

Note 13 -- Dividends and Capital Restrictions

Without prior approval, current regulations allow the Bank to pay dividends to
the Company not exceeding retained net income for the applicable calendar year
to date plus retained net income for the preceding two years. Application is
required by the Bank to pay dividends in excess of this restriction, and as of
June 30, 2000, the Bank has approval to pay dividends of $1,500,000.

At the time of the Bank's conversion to a stock savings bank, a liquidation
account was established in an amount equal to the Bank's net worth as reflected
in the latest statement of condition used in its final conversion offering
circular. The liquidation account is maintained for the benefit of eligible
deposit account holders who maintain their deposit accounts in the Bank after
conversion. In the event of a complete liquidation, and only in such event, each
eligible deposit account holder will be entitled to receive a liquidation
distribution from the liquidation account in the amount of the then current
adjusted subaccount balance for deposit accounts then held, before any
liquidation distribution may be made to shareholders. Except for the repurchase
of stock and payment of dividends, the existence of the liquidation account will
not restrict the use or application of net worth. The initial balance of the
liquidation account was $24,100,000. At June 30, 2000, total shareholder's
equity of the bank was $27,976,000.

Note 14 -- Stock Transactions

The Company's Board of Directors has approved periodically the repurchase of up
to 5 percent of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock. Such purchases
are made subject to market conditions in open market or block transactions.


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 ratios that are calculated
according to the regulations.  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 June 30, 2000 and 1999, the
Bank is categorized as well capitalized and met all subject capital adequacy
requirements.  There are no conditions or events since June 30, 2000 that
management believes have changed the Bank's classification.

The Bank's actual and required capital amounts and ratios are as follows:

Note 16 --- Employee Benefits

The Bank  provides  pension  benefits for  substantially  all of the Bank's
employees  and is a participant  in a pension fund known as the Pentegra  Group.
This plan is a multi-employer  plan; separate actuarial  valuations are not made
with respect to each  participating  employer.  A supplemental plan provides for
additional benefits for certain employees.  Pension expense was $38,000, $97,000
and $117,000 for 2000,  1999 and 1998.

The Bank  contributes  up to 3 percent  of  employees'  salaries  for those
participating in a thrift plan. The Bank's contribution was $40,000, $40,000 and
$33,000 for 2000, 1999 and 1998.

The Bank has purchased  life  insurance on certain  officers and directors,
which  insurance had an approximate  cash value of $11,422,000 and $5,887,000 at
June 30, 2000 and 1999.  The Bank has also  approved  arrangements  that provide
retirement  and death  benefits to those  officers and directors  covered by the
keyman policies.  The benefits to be paid will be funded primarily by the keyman
policies and are being accrued over the period of active  service to eligibility
dates. The accrual of benefits totaled $464,000, $363,000 and $301,000 for 2000,
1999 and 1998.

The Bank's  Board  of  Directors  has  established   Recognition  and
Retention Plans and Trusts (RRP).  The Bank  contributed  $1,349,340 to the
RRPs for the  purchase of 96,600  shares of Company  common  stock,  and in
March  1993,  awards of grants  for these  shares  were  issued to  various
directors,  officers and employees of the Bank.  These  awards,  vested and
earned by the recipient at a rate of 20 percent per year, were fully vested
at June 30, 1998.

At June 30, 2000 and 1999, there were no plan assets.

The  assumed  health  care cost trend  rate used in  measuring  the  accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 11 percent in 2000, gradually declining to
6 percent in the year 2012.

The  weighted   average   discount  rate  used  in  measuring  the   accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 8.0 percent in 2000.

Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts
reported for the health care plans.  A one-percentage-point change in assumed
health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

Note 17 --- Stock Option Plan

Under the  Company's  stock  option plan,  the Company  grants stock option
awards to directors,  selected executives and other key employees.  Stock option
awards vest and become fully  exercisable  at the end of six months of continued
employment.  The incentive stock option exercise price will not be less than the
fair market value of the common stock (or 85 percent of the fair market value of
common stock for non-qualified  options) on the date of the grant of the option.
The options granted to date were granted at the fair market value at the date of
grant. The date on which the options are first  exercisable is determined by the
Board of Directors, and the terms of the stock options will not exceed ten years
from the date of  grant.  The  exercise  price of each  option  was equal to the
market  price  of the  Company's  stock  on the  date of  grant;  therefore,  no
compensation expense was recognized.

Although  the Company has elected to follow APB No. 25,  Statement  of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Stock-Based Compensation, requires pro
forma  disclosures  of net income and  earnings  per share as if the Company had
accounted for its employee stock options under that  Statement.  No options were
granted in 2000 or 1999.  The fair value of each option  grant was  estimated on
the grant date using an option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Options to purchase 29,249 and 9,083 shares of common stock  outstanding at June
30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted
EPS because the  options'  exercise  price was greater  than the average  market
price of the common shares.

Note 19 ---  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In the normal  course of business  there are  outstanding  commitments  and
contingent  liabilities,  such as  commitments  to extend  credit and letters of
credit,  which  are not  included  in the  accompanying  consolidated  financial
statements. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend 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  statement  of  financial
condition.

Financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk as of June 30
were as follows:


                                                          2000           1999
-------------------------------------------------- -------------- --------------

Mortgage loan commitments at variable rates            $1,602         $1,705
Consumer and commercial loan commitments                6,776          5,360
Standby letters of credit                               3,644          3,644

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 Bank evaluates each customer's  credit
worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed
necessary by the Bank 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 Bank to guarantee
the performance of the customer to a third party.

A significant  portion of the Bank's loan portfolio  consists of commercial
real estate loans,  including loans secured by nursing homes.  These  commercial
real estate loans,  totaling  $31,231,000  and  $32,918,000 at June 30, 2000 and
1999,  have a  significantly  higher  degree  of credit  risk  than  residential
mortgage  loans.  Loan payments on the nursing home loans are often dependent on
the operation of the collateral, and risks inherent in the nursing home industry
include  licensure and certification  laws and changes  affecting  payments from
third party payors.

     The Company and  subsidiaries are also subject to claims and lawsuits which
arise  primarily  in the  ordinary  course  of  business.  Based on  information
presently  available,  it is the opinion of management  that the  disposition or
ultimate  determination  of such  possible  claims or  lawsuits  will not have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated  financial  position of the company.

Note 20 ---  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 Securities--Fair values are based on quoted market prices.

Loans--The  fair  value  for  loans is  estimated  using  discounted  cash  flow
analyses,  using interest rates  currently  being offered for loans with similar
terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Interest Receivable/Payable--The fair values of accrued interest receivable/
payable approximates carrying values.

FHLB Stock--Fair  value of FHLB stock is based on the price at which it may be
resold to the FHLB.

Deposits--Fair  values  for  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.

Note  Payable--- Limited Partnership--- The fair value of the borrowing is
estimated  using a  discounted  cash  flow  calculation  based on the  prime
interest rate.

Advances  by  Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance--The  fair value  approximates
carrying value.
