                           MFB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
            NOTES TO (UNAUDITED) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 June 30, 1998

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION  AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS:   MFB  Corp.  is  an  Indiana  corporation  organized  in
December,  1993,  to  become  a unitary savings and loan holding company.   MFB
Corp. became a unitary savings  and loan holding company upon the conversion of
Mishawaka Federal Savings  (the "Bank") from a federal mutual savings and  loan
association to a federal stock savings  bank  in  March,  1994.  On November 1,
1996, the Bank officially changed its name to MFB Financial.  MFB  Corp. is the
sole  shareholder of the Bank.  MFB Corp. and the Bank  (collectively  referred
to as the  "Company")  conduct  business  from  their main office in Mishawaka,
Indiana,  and  five  branch locations in St. Joseph  and  Elkhart  Counties  of
Indiana. The Bank offers  a  variety  of  lending,  deposit and other financial
services  to  its  retail  and  commercial customers. The  Bank's  wholly-owned
subsidiary, Mishawaka Financial Services,  Inc.,  is  engaged  in  the sales of
credit life, general fire and accident, car, home, and life insurance  as agent
for the Bank's customers and the general public.

BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION:  The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial
statements  were  prepared in accordance  with instructions for Form 10-Q  and,
therefore,  do not include  all  disclosures  required  by  generally  accepted
accounting principles  for  complete presentation of financial  statements.  In
the opinion of management, the  consolidated  financial  statements contain all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated balance  sheets of MFB
Corp.  and  its subsidiary MFB Financial as of June 30, 1998 and September  30,
1997, and the  consolidated statements of income for  the three months and nine
months ended June  30,  1998  and  1997,  and  the  consolidated  statements of
changes in shareholders' equity and the consolidated statements of  cash  flows
for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.  All significant intercompany
transactions   and  balances  are  eliminated  in  consolidation.   The  income
reported  for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 is not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the full year.


NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Earnings per  common  share  is  computed  under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which was adopted
retroactively by the Company at the beginning  of  the  fourth quarter of 1997.
Adoption of the Statement did not change the EPS amounts previously reported by
the Company for prior annual or quarterly periods. At June  30,  1998 and 1997,
the   Company   had   61,032   and  84,308  average  unallocated  ESOP  shares,
respectively, and 7,700 and 15,400  average  unearned recognition and retention
plan shares, respectively, which are excluded from  the weighted average number
of shares outstanding used to calculate the earnings  per share. Basic earnings
per  share  is based on net income divided by the weighted  average  number  of
shares outstanding  during  the  period.  Diluted  earnings per share shows the
dilutive effect of additional common stock equivalents.
<PAGE>
A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators  of the earnings per common
share  and  earnings per common share assuming dilution  computations  for  the
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 is presented below.

</TABLE>
ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The principal business of MFB Financial (the "Bank") has historically consisted
of attracting  deposits  from  the  general  public and making loans secured by
residential  and  other  real estate.  The Bank is  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,
fee  structures,  and level of personal  income and savings. 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 of the Bank  include deposits, borrowings, payments on loans
and income provided from operations.   The  Company's  earnings  are  primarily
dependent  upon the Bank's 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  amount  of  deposits and
borrowings outstanding during the same period and  interest rates paid  on such
deposits  and  borrowings.   The  Company's  earnings are also affected by  the
Bank's   provisions for loan and real estate losses,  service  charges,  income
from subsidiary activities, operating expenses and income taxes.


LIQUIDITY

Liquidity  relates  to  the Company's ability to fund loan demand, meet deposit
customers' withdrawal requirements  and  provide for operating expenses. Assets
used  to satisfy these needs consist of cash,  deposits  with  other  financial
institutions,   overnight   interest-bearing   deposits   in   other  financial
institutions  and securities, excluding FHLB stock. These assets  are  commonly
referred to as  liquid  assets. Liquid assets were $44.2 million as of June 30,
1998 compared to $49.1 million  as  of  September  30, 1997. This $ 4.9 million
decrease was primarily due to a $3.9 million decrease  in  securities available
for  sale  and  a  $1.0  million  decrease  in cash and cash equivalents.  This
decrease in liquidity was used primarily to fund  the $37.7 million increase in
net loans from September 30, 1997 to June 30, 1998.   Management  believes  the
liquidity  level  of  $44.2  million  as of June 30, 1998 is sufficient to meet
anticipated liquidity needs.

A standard measure of liquidity for savings  associations  is the ratio of cash
and  eligible  investments to a certain percentage of net withdrawable  savings
and borrowings due within one year. The minimum required ratio is currently set
by  Office of Thrift  Supervision  regulation at 4%, and, at June 30, 1998, the
Bank's liquidity ratio was 8.93%. Therefore, the Bank's liquidity is well above
the minimum regulatory requirements.

The  Company  uses  its liquidity mainly  to  fund  existing  and  future  loan
commitments, to fund  deposit withdrawals, to invest in securities, and to meet
operating expenses.  At June 30, 1998, the Company had commitments to fund loan
originations with borrowers  totaling $49.8 million (including $26.5 million in
available consumer and commercial  lines of credit) .  Management believes that
loan  repayments and other sources of  funds  will  be  adequate  to  meet  the
Company's liquidity needs.

The cash  flow  statements  provide  an indication of the Company's sources and
uses of cash as well as an indication of the ability of the Company to maintain
an adequate level of liquidity.  A discussion  of  the changes in the cash flow
statements for the nine months ended June 30, 1998  and 1997  follows.

During the nine months ended June 30, 1998, net cash  decreased  $  1.0 million
from $9.5 million at September 30, 1997 to $ 8.5 million at June 30, 1998.

The  Company  experienced  a  $22.6 million net increase in cash from operating
activities for the period ended  June  30, 1998, compared to a $1.9 million net
increase for the period ended June 30, 1997.  The  increase  in the most recent
period was primarily attributable to $20.1 million in proceeds  from  the sales
of  mortgage  loans and $1.7 million in net income during the period. The  $1.9
million increase  for  the  period ended June 30, 1997 was primarily due to the
$1.5  million net income generated  and  increases  in other assets. Offsetting
these  increases  was  an  $895,000  decrease  in  accrued expenses  and  other
liabilities resulting primarily from the payment during  the  first  quarter of
the one time Savings  Association Insurance Fund assessment of $955,000.

The  $56.2  million  net decrease in cash from investing activities during  the
nine months ended  June  30,  1998  is  primarily  related to the $57.8 million
increase  in  loan  originations  exceeding principal payments  and  the  $35.3
million purchase of securities and  FHLB  stock, offset by sales and maturities
of securities totaling $24.6 million and  mortgage-backed  securities principal
payments of $12.7 million. During the nine months ended June 30, 1997, net cash
used  in investing activities was $22.1 million, resulting primarily  from  the
$34.6 million  increase  in  net loans and the $28.5 million  of securities and
$851,000 of FHLB stock purchased   exceeding  the  $40.2 million generated from
the  normal  maturities  and  sales  of securities and the  $1.9  in  principal
reductions of mortgage-backed securities.

Financing activities generated net cash  of  $32.6  million  for the nine month
period  ending  June   30,  1998. The cash was provided primarily  from   $29.2
million in net new FHLB advances,   net  deposit  increases of $3.7 million and
net increases of securities sold under repurchase agreements  of  $3.1 million.
Offsetting  these  increases was $3.1 million used to repurchase the  Company's
stock and cash dividend  payments  of  $409,000  during  the  period.  Net cash
provided  by financing activities was $21.2  million for the nine months  ended
June 30, 1997  as  $19.2  million  in  Federal Home Loan Bank advances and $8.6
million in net deposits were used to provide  the  funds  for  the purchase and
retirement of 287,263 shares of MFB Corp. common stock totaling $5.4 million.


CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total  shareholders'  equity  decreased from $33.6 million as of September  30,
1997 to $33.1 million as of June  30,  1998.  The  decreases to equity resulted
mainly from the repurchase of 119,200 shares of outstanding common stock during
the period at a cost of $3.1 million, along with the  payment of cash dividends
of $409,000. These decreases were offset by $1.7 million in net income and $1.0
million generated from the exercise of stock options.

The  Bank  is subject to various regulatory capital requirements.   Failure  to
meet  minimum   capital   requirements   can   initiate  certain  mandatory  or
discretionary actions by regulators that could have a direct material effect on
the Bank's financial statements.  Under capital  adequacy  guidelines  and  the
regulatory  framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific
quantitative  capital  guidelines  using  the  Bank's  assets, liabilities, and
certain  off-balance-sheet  items  as  calculated  under regulatory  accounting
practices.  The Bank's requirements are also subject  to  qualitative judgments
by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation to ensure capital  adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts  and  ratios  (set forth below) of
tangible capital, leverage capital, and risk-based capital.

The Bank's actual capital and required capital amounts and ratios at June 30,
1998 and 1997 are presented below:

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

Total assets increased $35.0 million from  $255.9  million  as of September 30,
1997 to $290.9 million as of June 30, 1998.

Net loans increased by $37.8 million from $200.9 million at  September 30, 1997
to  $238.7  million   at  June  30,  1998  due  to loan originations  exceeding
principal  payments  by approximately $57.8 million,  offset  by  the  proceeds
received from first mortgage  loan  sales  of $20.1 million. 237 mortgage loans
were sold to private investors during this period at a weighted average rate of
7.69%. Servicing of these loans has been retained  by  the  Bank  with  a  .25%
service  fee. These loan sales were completed to lower the Bank's interest rate
risk exposure,  generate  additional funds for new loan originations and create
servicing fee income. The loans  sold  were  fixed  rate loans with a remaining
maturity  of  greater than 15 years. Securities available  for  sale  decreased
during this same  period  from  $39.6  million  at  September 30, 1997 to $35.7
million  at  June  30, 1998 due primarily to maturities,  sales  and  principal
payments exceeding purchases  by $3.8 million during the period. In addition to
the proceeds from the above mentioned loan sales, net loan growth was funded by
additional  borrowings through Federal  Home  Bank  advances,  savings  deposit
growth and the decreases in security investments.

Total liabilities   increased   from  $222.4  million at September 30 , 1997 to
$257.8  million at June 30, 1998. Significant liability  changes  included  the
addition of $1.7 million in savings , NOW and MMDA deposits and $2.4 million in
noninterest-bearing demand deposits, increased securities sold under agreements
to repurchase  of  $3.1  million,  and  net new FHLB advances of $29.2 million.
Enhancement  of  our  deposit based product  offerings  and  emphasis  on  core
relationships and quality service has contributed to the deposit and repurchase
increases.

The  $76.7  million of  Federal Home Loan Bank advances have a weighted average
interest rate of 5.51%  and  mature in eleven years or less. The one-day retail
repurchase agreements totaled $3.5 million at June 30, 1998 and  had a weighted
average interest rate of 4.00%.










MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

The Company's consolidated net  income  for the nine months ended June 30, 1998
was $1,656,000 compared with $1,506,000 for  the  nine  months  ended  June 30,
1997,  an increase of  9.96%.

Net  interest income after provision for loan losses for the most recent  three
and nine  month  periods totaled $2.2 million and $6.4 million compared to $1.9
million and $5.5 million  for  the  same periods one year ago. During the three
months ended June 30, 1998 total interest income increased by $880,000 compared
to the same period one year ago, primarily  as  a  result  of  a  $29.1 million
increase  in  first  mortgage loan receivables and a $23.0 million increase  in
commercial and consumer  loan  receivables.  Total  interest  expense increased
$549,000  reflecting the growth in both savings account deposits  and  borrowed
funds.  For the nine months ended June 30, 1998 total interest income increased
$2.5 million while total interest expense increased $1.6 million.

Noninterest income increased from $108,000 and $306,000  for the three and nine
months ended  June  30, 1997 to $182,000 and $509,000 for the most recent three
and nine month periods.  These  increases  are  primarily due to fees generated
from  the  growing  number  of  core  deposit  account  relationships  and  the
additional  services  offered  to bank's customers, along with  servicing  fees
retained  on  sold  loans. Noninterest  expenses,  primarily  compensation  and
building expenses, increased  from  $1.2  million during the three months ended
June 30, 1997 to $1.4 million during the three  months ended June 30, 1998, and
from $3.3 million to $4.1 million for the comparable  nine  month  periods. The
additional  compensation  and  building  expenses  are  mainly attributable  to
staffing increases and renovated facilities to support lending operations.


SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

The Company continues to maintain asset quality that compares  favorably to its
industry peer group. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total  assets  as  of
June 30, 1998 was .06% compared to .08% as of June 30, 1997.



















ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The OTS provides a Net Portfolio Value (*NPV*) approach to the quantification
of interest rate risk for thrift institutions such as MFB Financial, (the
"Bank"). 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.

The OTS issued a regulation which uses a net market value methodology to
measure the interest rate risk exposure of thrift institutions. Under OTS
regulations, an institution's "normal" level of interest rate risk in the event
of an assumed 200 basis point change in  interest rates is a decrease in the
institution's NPV in an amount not to exceed two percent of the present value
of its assets. Thrift institutions with greater than "normal" interest rate
risk exposure must take a deduction from their total capital available to meet
their risk-based capital requirement. 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 2.00% of the present value of its assets. The regulation, however, will not
become effective until the OTS evaluates the process by which thrift
institutions may appeal an interest rate risk deduction determination. It is
uncertain as to when this evaluation may be completed.

Presented below, as of March 31, 1998, is an analysis of the Bank's interest
rate risk as measured by changes in NPV for an instantaneous and sustained
parallel shift in the yield curve, in 100 basis point increments, up and down
400 basis points, in accordance with OTS regulations. As illustrated in  the
table, the Bank's interest rate risk is more sensitive to rising rate changes
than declining rates. This occurs primarily because, as rates rise, the market
value of fixed-rate loans declines due to both the rate increases and slowing
prepayments. When rates decline, the Bank does not experience a significant
rise in market value for these loans because borrowers prepay at relatively
higher rates. The value of the Bank's deposits and borrowings change in
approximately the same proportion in rising and falling rate scenarios.

Management reviews the OTS measurements and related peer reports on a quarterly
basis. In addition to monitoring selected measures of NPV, management also
monitors effects on net interest income resulting from increases or decreases
in interest rates. This measure is used in conjuction with NPV measures to
identify excessive interest rate risk.
