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 accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for a complete presentation
of the financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated
financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to
present fairly the consolidated balance sheets of MFB Corp. and its subsidiary
MFB Financial as of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007, the consolidated
statements of income, the condensed consolidated statements of changes in
shareholders' equity, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the
three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications: Items in the prior consolidated financial statements are
reclassified to conform with the current presentation.
NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per common share shows the dilutive effect of additional potential
common shares issuable under stock options.
The computations of basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per
common share for the three month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are
presented below.

Stock options for 63,500 and 17,000 shares of common stock were not considered
in computing diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006 because they were antidilutive.
NOTE 3 - SECURITIES
The fair value of securities available for sale and the related amortized cost
and gross unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) are as follows:

Marketable equity securities 3,052 318 - 3,370
$ 33,876 $ 383 $ (850) $ 33,409
|
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on
a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant
such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent
to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and
near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company
to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow
for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
The values of mortgage-backed securities have increased since September 30,
2007, resulting in net unrealized losses of $111,000 at December 31, 2007
compared to net unrealized losses of $323,000 at September 30, 2007. Credit
issues are not considered to be a significant factor relative to the current
unrealized losses.
Included in marketable equity securities are government sponsored agency
preferred stocks of Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") of $2.0 million each at
both December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007. The Company recorded a non-cash
impairment charge of $948,000 during the year ended September 30, 2005 for the
decline in the value determined to be other-than-temporary. In addition, during
the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded an additional non-cash
impairment charge of $350,000 for the decline in the value of the Fannie Mae
preferred stock determined to be other-than-temporary. Recent capital needs at
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac resulted in new issuances of higher yielding
preferred stocks by these two companies, and coupled with continued turmoil in
the housing and credit markets, have resulted in significant swings in the
market value of these securities. The Fannie Mae security has consistently held
an unrealized loss position during the latter part of the quarter ending
December 31, 2007. Based upon the structure of the recently issued securities
and its impact on the Company's existing security, management determined the
impairment to be other-than-temporary. Due to the uncertainty of future market
conditions and how they might impact the financial performance of Fannie Mae,
management was unable to determine when or if this impairment will be reversed.
In contrast, the Freddie Mac security showed improvement during management's
review and the impairment was determined to be not other-than-temporary.

NOTE 4 - LOANS RECEIVABLE (continued)

Impaired loans were as follows: (Dollars in thousands)

Average of impaired loans 3,691 4,644
Interest income recognized during impairment - 9
Cash-basis interest income recognized during impairment - 7
|
Impaired loans decreased during the quarter ended December 31, 2007. The
decrease was primarily due to a charge off of an impaired loan of $281,000 that
had been fully reserved for, in addition to principal payments made of
approximately $186,000 on an impaired loan with a balance of approximately $1.5
million at September 30, 2007. The remaining balance was approximately $1.3
million at December 31, 2007 with an equivalent amount of allowance for loan
losses allocation. The Bank maintained the $1.3 million allowance for the loan
losses allocation based upon the history of unreliable and inconsistent
financial reporting and cash flows of the customer's business. The actual loss
on this loan relationship may vary significantly from the current estimate
contingent upon the borrower's ability to seek alternative financing or pay down
the loan. The decrease of impaired loans was partially offset by the addition of
an impaired loan of $177,000.
Non-performing loans were as follows:
December 31, September 30,
2007 2007
(Dollars in thousands)
Loans past due over 90 days still on accrual status $ - $ 41
Non-accrual loans 4,847 4,693

Total non-performing loans $ 5,165 $ 5,095

NOTE 5 - BUSINESS COMBINATION
On September 28, 2007, the Company acquired certain trust assets, personal
property and contracts (the "Trust Business") of Community Trust & Investment
Company, Inc., an Indiana trust company serving the greater Indianapolis area
and Crawfordsville, Indiana. The Trust Business provides a myriad of trust
services including trust account administration under agreement and wills;
agency accounts, guardianships, estate settlement; custodial and other standard
trust services. The business also offers administration of employee benefit and
employee welfare plans and administrative service through partnerships with
established investment advisors. The Company acquired approximately $275.0
million in trust assets and is operating from offices in Carmel and
Crawfordsville, Indiana. The acquisition included a group of trust professionals
that complement the Company's existing trust department.
The purchase price is based upon the fees earned and received on the trust
assets acquired during the three year period from the date of closing. The first
year's payment is 25%, the second year payment is 20%, and the third year
payment is 15% of the fees earned and received during those periods. At closing,
the estimated purchase price approximated $660,000 and resulted in a present
value intangible asset of $610,000. This intangible asset will be amortized on a
straight line basis over 10 years and will be adjusted, with offsetting impact
to the acquisition payable, as actual payments are determined.
NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 8, 2008, MFB Corp. and MutualFirst Financial, Inc. ("MutualFirst")
jointly announced the signing of a definitive agreement (the "Agreement")
pursuant to which the Company will be merged with and into MutualFirst
Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MutualFirst (the "Merger"), and
MFB Corp.'s savings bank subsidiary, MFB Financial, will be merged into
MutualFirst's subsidiary, Mutual Federal Savings Bank. The Agreement provides
that upon the effective date of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), pursuant to
election procedures described in the Agreement, each share of common stock of
MFB Corp. will be converted into either an amount of cash equal to $41.00 per
share (the "Cash Consideration"), or 2.59 shares of common stock, $.01 par value
per share, of MutualFirst (the "Exchange Ratio").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, 80% of the total number of outstanding shares of
common stock of MFB Corp. must be converted into MutualFirst common stock. There
may be allocations of cash or stock made to MFB Corp.'s shareholders to ensure
that this requirement is satisfied.
At the effective time of the Merger, each option to purchase Company common
stock, vested or unvested, will be converted into the right to receive options
for a number of shares of MutualFirst common stock equal to 2.59 times the
number of shares of MFB Corp.'s common stock, subject to such options, for the
same aggregate option price as shall be in effect for MFB Corp.'s stock options
immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger.
The Company will have the right to terminate the Agreement if the average
closing price of MutualFirst common stock during a period of five business days
following receipt of all required regulatory and shareholder approvals is less
than $12.664 and MutualFirst common stock underperforms an index of financial
institutions by fifteen percent, unless MutualFirst were to elect to make a
compensating adjustment to the exchange ratio.
Based on the closing price of MutualFirst's common stock on January 7, 2008
($13.35), the transaction has an aggregate value of approximately $52.7 million.
The Merger will be accounted for as a purchase and is expected to close during
the Company's fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008. The
Agreement has been approved by the boards of directors of MFB Corp. and
MutualFirst. However, the closing of the Merger is subject to certain other
conditions, including the approval of the Merger by the shareholders of MFB
Corp. and approval of the issuance of shares by shareholders of MutualFirst and
the approval of regulatory authorities.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
GENERAL
The principal business of the Bank has historically consisted of attracting
deposits from the general public and the business community and making loans
secured by various types of collateral, including real estate and general
business assets. The Bank's Wealth Management Group attracts high net worth
clients and offers trust, investment, insurance, broker advisory, retirement
plan and private banking services. 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 funds, the number and quality of lenders, and
regional economic cycles. Sources of funds for lending activities of the Bank
include deposits, borrowings, payments on loans, sales of 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 losses, mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustments,
service charges, fee income, gains from sales of loans, mortgage loan servicing
fees, income from subsidiary activities, operating expenses and income taxes.
The Company's operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a
company-wide basis and, accordingly, considered a single operating segment.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006
Consolidated net income for the Company for the three months ended December 31,
2007 was $342,000 or $0.26 diluted earnings per common share, compared to net
income of $1.2 million or $0.84 diluted earnings per share, for the three months
ended December 31, 2006. MFB Corp.'s decrease in earnings for the first fiscal
quarter from the prior comparable period was primarily attributable to a
significantly smaller negative provision for loan loss and a $350,000
other-than-temporary impairment charge related to an investment in preferred
stock issued by Fannie Mae.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased to $3.2 million
for the three month period ending December 31, 2007 compared to $3.1 million for
the same period last year. The gain was due largely to increased income from the
Bank's loan portfolio, which totaled $6.8 million for the quarter ended
December, 31 2007 compared to $6.3 million for the quarter ended December, 31
2006. This was partially offset by interest paid on FHLB borrowings, which
increased to $1.7 million compared to $1.5 million for the respective comparable
periods. Income from investments and interest expense on deposits declined in
the comparable periods.
The negative provision for loan losses was $94,000 for the quarter ended
December 31, 2007 compared to a negative provision for loan losses of $1.1
million for the respective three months ended December 31, 2006. The negative
provision for loan losses during the three months ended December 31, 2007 was
primarily related to the repayment of a commercial loan which had previously
been fully reserved and was offset slightly by provision increases for
nonaccrual loans. The negative provision during the three months ended December
31, 2006 was predominantly related to the repayment of two commercial loans
which previously had a significant allowance for loan losses allocations. The
percentage of non-performing assets to total loans at December 31, 2007 was
1.35%, an increase from 1.29% at September 30, 2007.
Noninterest income totaled $1.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2007
compared to $1.6 million for the same period last year. This decrease in
noninterest income was primarily due to a $350,000 other-than-temporary
impairment charge related to an investment in preferred stock issued by Fannie
Mae. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in trust and brokerage fee
income in the amount of $338,000 as a result of the Company's new wealth
management and private banking subsidiary, Community Wealth Management Group,
Inc. In addition, during the quarter ending December 31, 2007, the Bank recorded
a gain on securities of $68,000 from the proceeds of its conversion and sale of
Class B Common Shares of MasterCard stock, compared to a gain of $361,000 as a
partial settlement on a WorldCom class action suit during the quarter ending
December 31, 2006.
Noninterest expense increased to $4.3 million for the quarter ended December 31,
2007 from $4.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits, which was offset
by a decrease in business development and marketing expense.
Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was
approximately $16,000 compared to approximately $442,000 for the same period
last year due to the change in income before income taxes.
BALANCE SHEET COMPOSITION
COMPARISON OF DECEMBER 31, 2007 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
The Company's total assets were $513.8 million as of December 31, 2007 compared
to $510.4 million as of September 30, 2007.
Cash and cash equivalents increased from $23.5 million at September 30, 2007 to
$31.4 million at December 31, 2007. The increase was derived from a number of
sources including borrowings from the FHLB of $2.8 million, an increase in
deposits of $2.3 million, and proceeds from payments and maturities of
investments of $2.1 million. Payments of property taxes out of borrowers'
escrows resulted in a cash outflow of $1.4 million during the quarter.
As of December 31, 2007 total securities available for sale were $31.2 million,
a decline of $2.2 million from a balance of $33.4 million at September 30, 2007.
Securities portfolio activity during the three month period included principal
payments on mortgage-backed and related securities of $1.1 million and
maturities and calls of securities available for sale and other investments of
$1.0 million. The Company did not purchase or sell securities during the three
month period.
Loans receivable decreased from $407.8 million at September 30, 2007 to $404.9
million at December 31, 2007. Mortgage loans decreased from $201.2 million at
September 30, 2007 to $198.5 million at December 31, 2007. Commercial loans
outstanding decreased from $153.9 million at September 30, 2007 to $152.9
million at December 31, 2007. Consumer loans, including home equity and second
mortgages, increased by $912,000 during the three month period. Diversification
of the mix of loans on the balance sheet continues to be a focus to improve
profit margins, control margin volatility and to appeal to a broader range of
existing and potential customers.
The balance of mortgage servicing rights at December 31, 2007 was $2.2 million
compared to $2.3 million at September 30, 2007. For the three months ending
December 31, 2007, the Company completed secondary market mortgage loan sales of
$5.5 million and the net gains realized on these loan sales were $101,000,
including $60,000 related to recording mortgage servicing rights. The loans sold
this year were primarily fixed rate mortgage loans with maturities of fifteen
years or longer. The sale of loan production serves as a source of additional
liquidity and management anticipates that the Company will continue to deliver
fixed rate loans to the secondary market to meet consumer demand, manage
interest rate risk, and diversify the asset mix of the Company.
The balance of allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2007 was $4.9 million,
or 1.21% of loans, compared to $5.3 million, or 1.30% of loans, at September 30,
2007. The change is due primarily to the negative provision for loan losses and
the increased amount of net charge-offs for the three months ended December 31,
2007. For the first quarter ended December 31, 2007, net charge-offs were
$285,000 compared to $40,000 net charge-offs for the quarter ended September 30,
2007. In management's opinion, the allowance for loan losses is adequate to
cover probable incurred losses at December 31, 2007.
Total liabilities increased $2.9 million, from $469.4 million at September 30,
2007 to $472.3 million at December 31, 2007. The Bank's total deposits grew $2.3
million, which was primarily related to an increase in time deposits of $4.5
million offset by a decrease in savings and NOW deposits of $1.8 million and a
decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $373,000. Accrued expenses
and other liabilities decreased by $2.1 million, largely due to payments of
property taxes. Advances owing to the FHLB increased by $2.8 million. As of
December 31, 2007, the advances had a weighted average interest rate of 5.16%
and mature over the next five years. A total of $73.5 million of the advances
with a weighted average interest rate of 5.33% mature over the next twelve
months.
Total shareholders' equity increased approximately $400,000 to $41.5 million at
December 31, 2007 compared to $41.1 million at September 30, 2007. The increase
was derived from net income of $342,000 and transactions relating to the
exercise of stock options of $426,000, which were partially offset by an
increase in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) net of tax of $156,000 and a
dividend payout of $249,000. MFB Corp's equity to assets ratio was 8.07% at
December 31, 2007 compared to 8.04% at September 30, 2007. The book value of MFB
Corp. stock decreased from $31.25 at September 30, 2007 to $31.10 at December
31, 2007.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity relates primarily 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, over night interest-earning deposits in other financial
institutions, and securities available for sale. These assets are commonly
referred to as liquid assets.
Liquid assets were $62.6 million as of December 31, 2007, up from $57.4 million
at September 30, 2007. Cash and cash equivalents increased $8.0 million during
the three month period, while securities available for sale and other liquid
investments declined by $2.8 million. Management believes the liquidity level as
of December 31, 2007 is sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs.
Short-term borrowings or long-term debt, such as Federal Home Loan Bank
advances, are used to supplement other sources of funds such as deposits and to
assist in asset/liability management. As of December 31, 2007, total FHLB
borrowings amounted to $127.1 million and were originally used primarily to fund
loan portfolio growth. The Bank had commitments to fund loan originations with
borrowers totaling $88.6 million at December 31, 2007, including $83.0 million
in available consumer and commercial lines and letters of credit. Certificates
of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $110.2 million. Based
on historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of
maturing deposits will remain with the Bank. The Bank anticipates that it will
continue to have sufficient cash flow and other cash resources to meet current
and anticipated loan funding commitments, deposit customer withdrawal
requirements and operating expenses.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective
action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative
judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors,
and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure to meet
various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a
direct material effect on the financial statements.
The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including
well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not
used to represent overall financial condition. If only adequately capitalized,
regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If
undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and
expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required.

31, 2007 and September 30, 2007 are presented below:
