               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 September 30, 2000,
and for the three month and nine month periods ended September 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 nine months ended
September 30, 2000,  weighted  average shares  outstanding for basic and diluted
earnings per share were 5,394,507 and 5,386,557 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.  common stock.  The transaction is subject to
approval by  shareholders  of Marion  Capital  Holdings,  Inc.  and  appropriate
regulatory agencies. As of September 30, 2000, Marion Capital Holdings, Inc. had
total  assets  and   shareholders'   equity  of  $198,443,000  and  $32,034,881,
respectively.

Item #2:  Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
          Results of Operations.

General

MutualFirst  Financial,  Inc.,  a  Maryland  corporation  (the  "Company"),  was
organized in September, 1999. On December 29, 1999, it acquired the common stock
of Mutual Federal Savings Bank ("Mutual  Federal") upon the conversion of Mutual
Federal from a federal mutual savings bank to a federal stock savings bank.

Mutual  Federal was  originally  organized  in 1889 and  currently  conducts its
business from thirteen full service offices located in Delaware,  Randolph,  and
Kosciusko  Counties,  Indiana,  with its main office  located in Muncie.  Mutual
Federal's  principal  business consists of attracting  deposits from the general
public and originating fixed rate and adjustable rate loans secured primarily by
first  mortgage  liens on one-to- four family  residential  real estate.  Mutual
Federal's  deposit  accounts are insured up to applicable  limits by the SAIF of
the FDIC.

Mutual Federal offers a number of financial services, including: (1) one-to-four
family residential real estate loans; (2) commercial real estate loans; (3) real
estate construction  loans; (4) land loans; (5) multi-family  residential loans;
(6) consumer loans, including home equity loans, automobile loans,  recreational
vehicle and boat loans;  (7) commercial  loans; (8) money market demand accounts
("MMDA's"); (9) savings accounts; (10) checking accounts; (11) NOW accounts; and
(12) certificates of deposit.

Mutual Federal currently owns two subsidiaries,  First M.F.S.B.  Corporation and
Third M.F.S.B.  Corporation. The assets of First M.F.S.B. Corporation consist of
an investment in Family Financial Life Insurance Company. Family Financial is an
Indiana  stock  insurance  company  that  primarily  engages in retail  sales of
mortgage and credit life insurance  products in connection with loans originated
by its shareholder financial institutions.  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.

The  Company's  results of  operations  depend  primarily  upon the level of net
interest income,  which is the difference  between the interest income earned on
interest earning assets, such as loans and investments,  and costs incurred with
respect to interest  bearing  liabilities,  primarily  deposits and  borrowings.
Results of operations  also depend upon the level of the Company's  non-interest
income,  including  fee  income  and  service  charges,  and  the  level  of its
non-interest expense, including general and administrative expenses.

Financial Condition

Assets  totaled  $577.6 million at September 30, 2000, an increase from December
31, 1999 of $33.1  million for an  annualized  growth rate of 8.1%.  This growth
occurred in net loans,  up $38.6 million from  year-end 1999  primarily due to a
$31.9 million increase in commercial and consumer loans.  Loan growth was funded
by growth of deposits and increased borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Deposits  totaled  $389.9  million at  September  30,  2000 an increase of $25.3
million or an  annualized  rate of 9.25% from  December 31,  1999.  Increases in
Public Entity Deposits of $15.4 million, and increases in retail certificates of
deposit of $10.2 million  account for this growth.  Total  borrowings  increased
$3.5 million to $78.4 million.

Stockholders'  equity  increased $3.7 million from $96.7 million at December 31,
1999 to $100.4 million at September 30, 2000. The increase was due to net income
for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 of $4.5 million and Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (ESOP) shares earned of $253,000 and a decrease in the unrealized
loss on available for sale  securities of $97,000.  Cash  dividends  declared of
$815,000 partially offset these increases.

Comparison  of the  operating  results for the three months ended  September 30,
2000 and 1999.

Net income was $1.5 million or 27 cents for both basic and diluted  earnings per
share for the quarter ended  September 30, 2000. This compared to net income for
the  comparable  period  in 1999 of  $951,000.  The  increase  in  earnings  was
primarily  due to an  increase  in  net  interest  income  partially  offset  by
increases in non-interest expenses and income tax expense. The annualized return
on average  assets was 1.03% and .76% for the three months ended  September  30,
2000, and 1999, respectively.

Interest income  increased $1.7 million or 19.8% from $8.6 million for the three
months ended  September  30, 1999 to $10.3  million for the same period in 2000.
Interest  expense  increased  $750,000 or 15.5% from $4.8  million for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, to $5.6 million for the same period in 2000. As
a result,  net interest  income for the three months  ended  September  30, 2000
increased $1 million or 25.4%  compared to the same period in 1999. The increase
in net  interest  income was due  primarily to an increase of $43 million in the
average outstanding loans receivable and $22.2 million in the average 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 primarily  attributable to the utilization of
net proceeds received in conjunction with the Company's stock issuance.

The Company's provision for loan losses for the three-months ended September 30,
2000 was  $171,000  compared  to $190,000  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


                                       9

they are put on non-accrual status. At September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
respectively,  non-accrual  loans were $498,000 and $753,000.  The allowance for
loan  losses  was  $3.4  million  or .71%  of net  loans  and  $3.7  million  or
approximately  .82% of net loans at  September  30, 2000 and  December 31, 1999,
respectively.

Non-interest  income  increased  $55,000,  or 7.2% for the  three  months  ended
September  30,  2000  compared  to the  same  period  in 1999  primarily  due to
transaction  account  growth  resulting  in an increase in service fee income of
$75,000  and no net  trading  account  activity  compared  to a trading  loss of
$45,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 1999.  Also,  there was a
loss of  $45,000  in  limited  partnerships  for the three  month  period  ended
September 30, 2000, compared to a $10,000 gain in the comparable 1999 period.

Non-interest  expense  increased  $240,000  or 8.3% for the three  months  ended
September  30, 2000  compared to the same period in 1999.  Salaries and employee
benefits  were $1.8  million  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  2000
compared to $1.7 million for the 1999  period,  an increase of $100,000 or 5.9%.
This increase resulted  primarily from $100,000 of compensation  expense related
to the ESOP.  Other expenses also increased  $134,000 for the three months ended
September  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 $32,000 decrease in deposit insurance
expense  from the three  months ended  September  30, 2000  compared to the same
period of 1999.

Income tax expense  increased  $271,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2000 compared to the same period in 1999. The increase was a result of increased
taxable income for the period.

Comparison of the operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
and 1999.

Net income was $4.5 million or 84 cents for both basic and diluted  earnings per
share for the nine-month  period ended  September 30, 2000. This compared to net
income  for the  comparable  period in 1999 of $2.9  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 1.09% and .79% for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

Interest  income  increased $4.4 million,  or 17.4%,  from $25.3 million for the
nine months  ended  September  30, 1999 to $29.7  million for the same period in
2000. Interest expense increased $1,220,000, or 8.7%, from $14.1 million for the
nine-months  ended  September 30, 1999 to $15.3 million the same period in 2000.
As a result,  net interest  income for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000
increased  $3.2  million,  or 28.1%,  compared to the same  period in 1999.  The
increase in net interest income was due primarily to a

                                       10

$48.4 million  increase in the average  outstanding  balance of loans receivable
and a $20.4 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 due to the utilization of net proceeds received in conjunction with the
Company's  stock  issuance.  Net proceeds of the Company's  stock issuance after
cost, and excluding the shares issued to the ESOP, were $49.9 million.

The Company's  provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 was  $513,000,  compared  to $570,000  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  $518,000,  or 25.6%,  for the nine months ended
September  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 $414,000 and a gain of $25,000 on net trading  account  activity
compared to a trading loss of $120,000 for the nine months ended  September  30,
1999.

Non-interest  expense increased $1.2 million, or 14.1% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000,  compared to the same period in 1999.  Salaries and employee
benefits  were $5.5  million  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,
compared to $4.9 million for the 1999 period, an increase of $600,000, or 12.3%.
This increase resulted  primarily from $253,000 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  $591,000  for the nine months ended
September 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 $90,000 decrease in deposit insurance
expense from the nine months  ended  September  30,  2000,  compared to the same
period in 1999 due to a rate reduction.

Income tax expense  increased  $876,000 for the nine months ended  September 30,
2000,  compared  to the  same  period  in 1999.  The  increase  was a result  of
increased taxable income for the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The standard measure of liquidity for savings  associations is the ratio of cash
and eligible  investments to a certain  percentage of net  withdrawable  savings
accounts  and  borrowings  due within one year.  The minimum  required  ratio is
currently set by Office of Thrift Supervision  regulation at 4%. As of September
30,  2000,  Mutual  Federal had liquid  assets of $40.9  million and a liquidity
ratio of 8.31%.

ITEM #3 - Quantitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Presented  below as of September  30, 2000 and 1999 is an analysis  performed by
the OTS (for  September 30, 1999) and by Mutual Federal (for September 30, 2000)
of Mutual Federal's interest risk as measured by changes in Mutual Federal's net
portfolio value ("NPV") for instantaneous  and sustained  parallel shifts in the
yield curve, in 100 basis point increments, up and down 300 basis points.

                               September 30, 2000

                               Net Portfolio Value

The analysis at September  30, 2000  indicates  that there have been no material
changes in market interest rates for Mutual Federal's  interest rate sensitivity
instruments  which  would cause a material  change in the market risk  exposures
which effect the  quantitative  and qualitative risk disclosures as presented in
item 7A of the  Company's  annual  report  on Form  10-K  for the  period  ended
December 31, 1999.
