Item 2.     Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

       On November 1, 2000, Mutual Savings Bank, now a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Bank Mutual Corporation, completed its previously announced restructuring
into mutual holding company form, pursuant to a Plan of Restructuring dated as
of February 21, 2000, as amended July 31, 2000. Under the Plan of Restructuring,
among other things, Bank Mutual conducted a subscription offering of its common
stock in which 6,141,006 shares were sold to depositors of Mutual Savings and
the Bank Mutual ESOP, and 11,193,174 shares were issued to Mutual Savings
Bancorp, MHC (the "MHC"), and Mutual Savings became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Bank Mutual. The Plan of Restructuring was adopted by the Mutual Savings
directors and approved by Mutual Savings' depositors; the Plan did not require
third party negotiations.

       On the same date, Bank Mutual acquired First Northern Capital Corp.
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 21, 2000. Under
the First Northern merger agreement, First Northern was merged with and into
Bank Mutual. In the merger, Bank Mutual issued an aggregate of 5,007,485 shares
of Bank Mutual common stock and paid approximately $75.1 million in cash. The
cash portion of the purchase price was financed through the net proceeds of the
subscription offering and existing capital resources. The merger agreement was
negotiated at arm's length between the respective officers of Mutual Savings (on
behalf of Bank Mutual) and First Northern. None of such officers were affiliated
with the other party, its affiliates, its directors and officers and their
associates. Both parties were also assisted in the negotiations by their
investment advisors and counsel, neither of which is affiliated with the other
party. As a result of the merger, First Northern Savings Bank has become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank Mutual.

       Bank Mutual is accounting for the restructuring of Mutual Savings Bank
as a de-mutualization transaction, and Bank Mutual's prior periods will be
restated to reflect Mutual Savings' prior results in a manner similar to pooling
of interests accounting. Bank Mutual is accounting for the First Northern merger
using the purchase method of accounting, and First Northern's operations will
therefore only be included in Bank Mutual's results and financial statements
from the date of the acquisition.

       Bank Mutual is now the holding company for Mutual Savings Bank and First
Northern Savings Bank, both of which are federally chartered savings banks. Bank
Mutual and its subsidiaries operate 69 full service offices in Wisconsin and one
in Minnesota.

FIRST NORTHERN CAPITAL CORP.
  AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

GENERAL

1.   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First
     Northern Capital Corp. ("First Northern" or the "Company") and its
     wholly-owned subsidiary First Northern Savings Bank, S.A. and its
     subsidiaries (collectively, the "Savings Bank"): Great Northern Financial
     Services Corporation ("GNFSC"), First Northern Investments Incorporated
     ("FNII"), Keystone Financial Services, Incorporated ("Keystone") and First
     Northern Financial Services, Incorporated. All significant intercompany
     balances and transactions have been eliminated according to generally
     accepted accounting principles. The Savings Bank's ownership of Savings
     Financial Corporation ("SFC"), a 50% owned subsidiary, is accounted for by
     the equity method.

2.   The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
     financial information, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and the instructions to
     Form 10-Q. The financial statements do not include all of the information
     and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
     complete financial information. In the opinion of First Northern, the
     accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition,
     Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income, Unaudited Consolidated
     Statement of Stockholders' Equity and Unaudited Consolidated Statements of
     Cash Flows contain all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature,
     necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the
     Company and subsidiaries at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the
     results of their income for the three and nine months ended September 30,
     2000 and 1999, the changes in stockholders' equity for the nine months
     ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, and their cash flows for the nine months
     ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated
     Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with
     First Northern's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the
     three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, are not necessarily
     indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December
     31, 2000.

     9.   On February 21, 2000, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan
          of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Mutual Savings Bank
          ("Mutual"), a Wisconsin-chartered mutual savings bank and a wholly
          owned subsidiary of Mutual organized for the purpose of effecting the
          transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Mutual intends to
          assign the rights and obligations of this subsidiary to Bank Mutual
          Corporation ("Bank Mutual"). The Merger Agreement provides for the
          acquisition of the Company by Mutual through a merger of the Company
          into Bank Mutual.

          Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the
          time of the merger, each outstanding share of the Company's common
          stock will be converted into the right to receive cash in the amount
          of $15.00 or 1.5 shares of common stock of the Bank Mutual or a
          combination of cash and shares of Bank Mutual.

          In connection with the Merger, the Company and Mutual will engage in a
          restructuring. As part of the restructuring, Mutual will form a mutual
          holding company. The mutual holding company will own a majority of
          Bank Mutual's common stock. The balance of the shares of Bank Mutual
          will be offered for sale to Mutual's depositors and issued to First
          Northern stockholders in the Merger. As a result of the restructuring,
          the Savings Bank and Mutual will become wholly owned subsidiaries of
          Bank Mutual

          The Merger and Mutual restructuring and stock offering are subject to
          approval by the stockholders of the Company (for the Merger),
          depositors of Mutual (for the restructuring), and various regulatory
          agencies (for all transactions).

          Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the parties
          entered into a Stock Option Agreement by which the Company granted
          Mutual an irrevocable option to purchase up to 1,708,675 shares of the
          Company's stock equal to 19.9% of the number of shares of the
          Company's stock outstanding on February 21, 2000, at an exercise price
          of $9.0375 per share. The option would become exercisable under
          certain circumstances if the Company becomes the subject of a third
          party proposal for a competing transaction.

          Through September 30, 2000, First Northern has incurred direct
          expenditures relating to the merger of $367,200. If the merger is not
          consummated, these expenditures will be expensed.
