Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Stockholders*MutualFirst* Financial, Inc.Muncie, Indiana

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of *MutualFirst* Financial, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income,stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Ourresponsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of *MutualFirst* Financial, Inc. as of December 31,2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally acceptedin the United States of America.

**Note 1:    Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

         The accounting and reporting policies of *MutualFirst* Financial, Inc. (Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Mutual FederalSavings Bank (Bank) and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, First MFSB Corporation, conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reporting practicesfollowed by the thrift industry. The more significant of the policies are described below.

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requiresmanagement 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 andthe 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 thriftcharter and provides full banking services. As a federally chartered thrift, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

         The Bank generates mortgage, consumer and commercial loans and receives deposits from customers located primarily in central Indiana. TheBank's loans are generally secured by specific items of collateral including real property, consumer assets and business assets. First MFSB Corporation sells various insurance products.

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

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

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

         Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded using the interest method as interest income from securities. Realized gainsand 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 isprobable 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 exceeding90 days are not considered impaired. Certain nonaccrual and substantially delinquent loans may be considered to be impaired. The Company considers its investment in one-to-four familyresidential 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 isdiscontinued, 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 anddirect 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 theloan 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 ofthe 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 cashflows, or the fair value of the collateral of the loan, if collateral dependent. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is charged against current period operatingresults. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

         The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significantchanges in the economic environment and market conditions. Management believes that as of December 31, 2004, the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on information currently available. Aworsening or protracted economic decline in the areas within which the Bank operates would increase the likelihood of additional losses due to credit and market risks and could create the need foradditional loss reserves.

         **Premises and equipment** are carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-linemethod 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 arecapitalized. Gains and losses on dispositions are included in current operations.

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

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

         **Investment in limited partnerships** is recorded primarily on the equity method of accounting. Losses due to impairment arerecorded 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 accruedwhen earned.

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

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

         **Reclassifications** of certain amounts in the 2003 and 2002 consolidated financial statements have been made to conform to the2004 presentation.

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

         In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an amendment to SFAS 123 (SFAS 123R), which eliminates the ability toaccount for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair value-based method. SFAS123R will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2005. SFAS 123R applies to all awards granted after the required effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after thatdate. The cumulative effect of initially applying this Statement, if any, is recognized as of the required effective date.

         As of the required effective date, the Company will apply SFAS 123R using either the modified version of prospective application or themodified version of retrospective application. Under prospective transition method, compensation cost is recognized on or after the required effective date for the portion of outstanding awards forwhich the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards calculated under SFAS 123 for either recognition or proforma disclosures. For periods beforethe required effective date, a company may elect to apply a modified version of retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are adjusted on a basis consistent withthe pro forma disclosures required for those periods by SFAS 123.

         The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS 123R but believes the adoption of SFAS123R will not result in a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

         Marketable equity securities consist of shares in mutual funds which invest in government obligations and mortgage-backed securities.

         Certain investments in debt and marketable equity securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historicalcost. Total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2004 and 2003, was $28,166,000 and $8,247,000, which is approximately 71 and 25 percent of the Company's available-for-sale investmentportfolio at those dates. These declines primarily resulted from recent increases in market interest rates.

         Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, credit rating information and informationobtained from regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary.

          Retained earnings include approximately $14,743,000 for which no deferred income tax liability has been recognized. This amountrepresents 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 oradjustments 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 unrecordeddeferred income tax liability on the above amounts was approximately $5,013,000.

**Note 13: Commitments and Contingent Liabilities**

         In the normal course of business there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit andstandby letters of credit, which are not included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financialinstruments 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 makingsuch commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

         Financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk as of December 31 were as follows:
**2004****2003**Loan commitments$78,641$72,419Standby letters of credit7,2117,165
         Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in thecontract. 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 drawnupon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateralobtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies, but may include residential real estate, income-producingcommercial properties, or other assets of the borrower.

         Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.

         The Company and Bank are also subject to claims and lawsuits which arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion ofmanagement that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.

**Note 14: Stockholders' Equity**

         The Company is not subject to any regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends to its stockholders.

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

         Without prior approval, current regulations allow the Bank to pay dividends to the Company not exceeding retained net income for the currentyear plus the previous two calendar years. At December 31, 2004, the Bank had regulatory approval to pay dividends to the Company of an amount not to exceed $15,000,000.

**Note 15: Regulatory Capital**

         The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies and is assigned to a capitalcategory. 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 coreleverage 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 categoryassigned 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 ofa 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, 2004 and 2003, the Bank wascategorized as well capitalized and met all subject capital adequacy requirements. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2004 that management believes have changed the Bank'sclassification.

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

**Note 16: Employee Benefits**

          The Company has a retirement savings 401(k) plan in which substantially all employees may participate. The contributions arediscretionary and determined annually. In 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company matched employees' contributions at the rate of 50 percent for the first $600 of participant contributions to the 401(k) andmade a contribution to the profit-sharing plan of 3 percent of qualified compensation. The Company's expense for the plan was $370,000, $225,000 and $297,000 for 2004, 2003 and 2002.

          The Company has a supplemental retirement plan and deferred compensation arrangements for the benefit of certain officers. The Companyalso 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 periodfollowing the director's retirement or death. These arrangements are informally funded by life insurance contracts which have been purchased by the Company. The Company records a liability for thesevested benefits based on the present value of future payments. The Company's expense for the plan was $753,000, $776,000 and $695,000 for 2004, 2003 and 2002.

          The Company has an ESOP covering substantially all of its employees. At December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company had 286,060,317,843 and 349,626 unearned ESOP shares with a fair value of $6,963,000, $7,981,000 and $6,916,000. Shares are released to participants proportionately as ESOP debt is repaid. Dividends on allocatedshares are recorded as dividends and charged to retained earnings. Dividends on unallocated shares are used to repay the loan. Compensation expense is recorded equal to the fair market value of thestock 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 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $752,000, $752,000and $585,000. The following table provides information on ESOP shares at December 31.

**Note 17: Stock Option Plan**

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

          The following is a summary of the status of the Company's stock option plan and changes in that plan for 2004, 2003 and 2002.

          Options to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock at $25.66 per share were outstanding at December 31, 2004, but were not included inthe computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. Additionally, 24,584 shares not vested under the Recognition andRetention Plan have been excluded for similar reasons.

         **Note 19: Fair Values of Financial Instruments**

         The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

         **Cash and Cash Equivalents** - The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates carrying value.

         **Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities** - Fair values are based on quoted market prices.

         **Loans Held For Sale -** Fair values are based on quoted market prices.

         **Loans** - The fair value for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently beingoffered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

         **FHLB Stock** - Fair value of FHLB stock is based on the price at which it may be resold to the FHLB.

         **Cash Value of Life Insurance** - The fair value of life insurance values approximate carrying value.

         **Interest Receivable/Payable** - The fair values of interest receivable/payable approximate carrying values.

         **Deposits** - The fair values of noninterest-bearing, interest-bearing demand and savings accounts are equal to the amountpayable 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 beingoffered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on such time deposits.

         **Federal Home Loan Bank Advances** - The fair value of these borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation,based on current rates for similar debt for periods comparable to the remaining terms to maturity of these advances.

         **Notes Payable** - The fair value of this note is estimated using a discount calculation based on current rates.
28NEXT PAGE
         **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 sellmortgage 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 amounts of these investments are reasonable estimates of the fair value of thesefinancial statements.

         The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:
