               NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
                                   STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:  Basis of Presentation
The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of MFS 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  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  financial  statements at March 31, 2000,  and for the
three months ended, March 31, 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 ended March 31, 2000,
weighted  average shares  outstanding  for basic and diluted  earnings per share
were 5,368,312.

ITEM 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

GENERAL

MFS 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 MFSB Corporation and Third
MFSB Corporation.  The assets of First MFSB 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 MFSB,  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.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT

This  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q ("Form  10-Q")  contains  statements  which
constitute   forward  looking  statement  within  the  meaning  of  the  Private
Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995. These statements  appear in a number
places in this Form 10-Q and include  statements  regarding the intent,  belief,
outlook, estimate or expectations of the Company (as defined in the notes to the
consolidated  condensed  financial  statements),  its  directors or its officers
primarily with respect to future events and the future financial  performance of
the  Company.  Readers  of this Form 10-Q are  cautioned  that any such  forward
looking  statements  are not  guarantees  of future  events or  performance  and
involve risks and  uncertainties,  and that actual results may differ materially
from those in the forward looking statements as a result of various factors. The
accompanying  information  contained  in this  Form  10-Q  identifies  important
factors tht could  cause such  differences.  These  factors  include  changes in
interest   rates;   loss  of  deposits  and  loan  demand  to  other   financial
institutions;  substantial changes in financial markets;  changes in real estate
values and the real estate market; or regulatory changes.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Assets  totaled  $547.4 million at March 31, 2000, an increase from December 31,
1999 of $2.9 million for an annualized growth rate of 2.1%. This growth occurred
in net loans, up $7.5 million from year-end 1999 primarily due to a $6.3 million
increase in consumer  loans.  Loan growth was funded by growth of deposits and a
reduction of cash and cash equivalents.

Deposits  totaled  $378.9 million at March 31, 2000 an increase of $14.3 million
or an annualized  rate of 15.7% from December 31, 1999.  Increases in short-term
savings and transaction  type accounts  account for $8.6 million of this growth.
Total  borrowings  decreased $13.3 million to $61.6 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.

Stockholders'  equity  increased $1.1 million from $96.7 million at December 31,
1999 to $97.8 million at March 31, 2000.  The increase was due to net income for
the quarter  ended March 31, 2000 of $1.5 million and Employee  Stock  Ownership
Plan (ESOP) shares earned of $72,000.  A cash dividend  declared of $407,000 and
an increase in the unrealized  loss on available for sale  securities of $72,000
partially offset these increases.

Comparison  of the  operating  results for the three months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999.

Net income was $1.5 million or 28 cents for both basic and diluted  earnings per
share for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.  This compared to net income for the
comparable  period in 1999 of $976,000.  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 1.2% and .83% for the three months  ended March 31,  2000,  and 1999,
respectively.

Interest income  increased $1.2 million or 14.3% from $8.3 million for the three
months  ended  March  31,  1999 to $9.5  million  for the same  period  in 2000.
Interest  expense  increased  $140,000  or 3.0% from $4.6  million for the three
months ended  March,  1999,  to $4.7  million for the same period in 2000.  As a
result,  net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased
$1.1 million or 28.1%  compared to the same period in 1999.  The increase in net
interest  income was due  primarily to increases in the volume of average  loans
receivable  and the  average  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 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 for the ESOP were $49.9 million.

The Company's provision for loan losses for the three-month ended March 31, 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  they are put on  non-accrual  status.  At  March  31,  2000 and
December 31, 1999,  respectively,  non-accrual loans were $357,000 and $753,000.
The  allowance  for loan  losses was $3.8  million or .83% of net loans and $3.7
million or  approximately  .82% of net loans at March 31, 2000 and  December 31,
1999, respectively.

                                        9

<PAGE>

Non-interest  income  increased  $208,000,  or 33.2% for the three  months ended
March 31, 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
$158,000  and a gain of $25,000 on net trading  account  activity  compared to a
loss of $12,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1999.

Non-interest  expense  increased  $452,000 or 16.6% for the three  months  ended
March 31,  2000  compared  to the same  period in 1999.  Salaries  and  employee
benefits were $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to
$1.6  million for the 1999  period,  an  increase  of  $280,000  or 17.8%.  This
increase resulted primarily from $72,000 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 $210,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000
compared to the same period in 1999.  The  increase in other  expenses  resulted
from nominal increase in a variety of expense  categories.  These increases were
partially  offset by a $35,000  decrease in deposit  insurance  expense from the
three  months ended March 31, 2000  compared to the same period of 1999,  due to
rate reduction.

Income tax expense increased  $296,000 for the three months ended March 31, 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 the one-year.  The minimum  required ratio is
currently set by the Office of Thrift Supervision  regulation at 4%. As of March
31, 2000 Mutual Federal had liquid assets of $41.4 million and a liquidity ratio
of 8.9%.
