FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document, including information incorporated by reference, contains, and future filings
by MSB Financial on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K and future oral and written statements by MSB
Financial and its management may contain, forward-looking statements about MSB Financial which
we believe are within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements with respect to anticipated future
operating and financial performance, including revenue creation, lending origination, operating
efficiencies, loan sales, charge-offs and loan loss provisions, growth opportunities, interest rates,
acquisition and divestiture opportunities, and synergies, efficiencies, cost savings and funding
advantages expected to be realized from prior acquisitions. These forward-looking statements are
based on currently available competitive, financial and economic data and management's views and
assumptions regarding future events. These forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and
investors must recognize that actual results may differ from those expressed or implied in the
forward-looking statements. Accordingly, MSB Financial cautions readers not to place undue
reliance on any forward-looking statements.
Many of these forward-looking statements appear in this document under Part I, Item 1.
"Description of Business" and Part II, Item 6. "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation." Words such as may, could, should, would, believe, anticipate, estimate, expect, intend,
plan and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. The
important factors discussed below, as well as other factors discussed elsewhere in this document and
factors identified in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and those presented
elsewhere by our management from time to time, could cause actual results to differ materially from
those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this document. Among the factors that
could cause our actual results to differ from the these forward-looking statements are:
-
the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local
economies in which we conduct our operations; general economic conditions, either
nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among
other things, a deterioration in the credit quality of our loans and other assets;
- the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including
interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board;
- financial market, monetary and interest rate fluctuations, particularly the relative
relationship of short-term interest rates to long-term interest rates;
- the timely development of and acceptance of new products and services of MSB
Financial and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users,
including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors' products and
services;
- the impact of changes in financial services laws and regulations (including laws
concerning taxes, accounting standards, banking, securities and insurance);
legislative or regulatory changes may adversely affect the business in which we are
engaged;
2NEXT PAGE
- the impact of technological changes;
- changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and
- our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.
MSB Financial disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements based
on the occurrence of future events, the receipt of new information, or otherwise.

PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
General
MSB Financial, Inc. ("MSB Financial"), was formed as a Delaware corporation in September
1994 to act as the holding company for Marshall Savings Bank F.S.B. ("Marshall Savings" or the
"Bank") upon the completion of Marshall Savings' conversion from the mutual to the stock form.
MSB Financial received approval from the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") to acquire all of the
common stock of Marshall Savings to be outstanding upon completion of that conversion. The
conversion was completed on February 6, 1995. On December 8, 1998, the stockholders approved
a proposal to reincorporate MSB Financial from the State of Delaware to the State of Maryland.
References in this Form 10-KSB to "we," "us" and "our" refer to MSB Financial and/or Marshall
Savings as the context requires. MSB Financial's common stock trades on The Nasdaq SmallCap
Market under the symbol "MSBF".
At June 30, 2003, we had $103.2 million of assets and stockholders' equity of $15.2 million,
or 14.7% of total assets.
Marshall Savings is the only operating subsidiary of MSB Financial. Marshall Savings is a
federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Marshall, Michigan. Its deposits are insured
up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and are backed by
the full faith and credit of the United States.
Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and
investing those funds primarily in permanent and construction loans secured by first mortgages on
owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences. To a lesser extent, we also originate consumer
loans, permanent and construction loans secured by first mortgages on non-owner-occupied one- to
four-family residences and loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate. Our revenues
are derived principally from interest on mortgage and other loans and mortgage banking revenues.
We offer a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms. We only
solicit deposits in our primary market area and do not accept brokered deposits.
MSB Financial's operations are materially affected by general economic conditions, the
monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and the policies of the various regulatory
authorities, including the OTS and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal
Reserve Board"). Our results of operations are largely dependent upon our net interest income,
which is the difference between the interest we receive on our loan portfolio and our investment
securities portfolio, and the interest we pay on our deposit accounts and borrowings.
Our executive offices are located at 107 North Park Street, Marshall, Michigan 49068, and
our telephone number at that address is (269) 781-5103.
On September 2, 2003, MSB Financial entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, which
was amended and restated on September 24, 2003, pursuant to which MSB Financial will merge with
4NEXT PAGE
and into Monarch Community Bancorp, Inc. and Marshall Savings will merge with and into
Monarch Community Bank, a subsidiary of Monarch Community Bancorp. Under the terms of the
merger agreement, MSB Financial's shareholders will receive, in exchange for each share of MSB
Financial common stock, $15.04 in cash plus shares of Monarch Community Bancorp common stock
according to a formula based on the price of Monarch Community Bancorp common stock during
a delineated time period prior to closing. The merger is expected to be completed in the first quarter
of 2004. Monarch Community Bancorp's management team and board of directors will remain
intact following the merger. Two members of MSB Financial's board of directors will be added to
the boards of directors of Monarch Community Bancorp and Monarch Community Bank. A copy
of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement was filed with the SEC on September 26, 2003 by
MSB Financial on a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Market Area
We currently serve the City of Marshall and the surrounding townships of Marshall, located
in Calhoun County in Southern Michigan. We serve these areas through our three full-service
offices located in Marshall, Michigan. Major employers in the area include State Farm Insurance
Co., Eaton Corporation, Oaklawn Hospital, Walker Manufacturing Co. and Lear Corporation. Eaton
Corporation, which employs approximately 470 people in our area, is evaluating the continued operation of its facility in Marshall, the closure of which could cause considerable layoffs.
Lending Activities
General. We are a community-oriented financial institution offering a variety of financial
services to meet the needs of the community. Our primary focus in lending activities is on the
origination of permanent and construction loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied one-
to four-family residences. During the year ended June 30, 2003, MSB Financial increased the level
of sales of these residential mortgages, due to our policy of selling most fixed-rate mortgage products
to Freddie Mac. This decreased our level of net loans and the percentage of one- to four-family
owner-occupied first mortgages held in our portfolio at June 30, 2003. To a lesser extent, we also
originate consumer loans, permanent and construction loans secured by first mortgages on non-owner-occupied one- to four-family residences and loans secured by commercial and multi-family
real estate. At June 30, 2003, our net loan portfolio, including loans held for sale, totaled $74.1
million, which constituted 71.8% of our total assets.
Our loan committee is responsible for the review and approval or denial of all loan
applications for $100,000 and over. The loan committee currently consists of President Cook and
three other members of the Board of Directors. Loans under $100,000 are approved by a committee
of loan officers, which includes President Cook.
At June 30, 2003, the maximum amount that we could loan to any one borrower and the
borrower's related entities was approximately $1.8 million. At that date, our largest lending
relationship to a single borrower or group of related borrowers totaled $1.5 million, consisting of two
loans to a single borrower secured by a church property. At June 30, 2003, these loans were
performing in accordance with their repayment terms.
5NEXT PAGE
At June 30, 2003, we had 24 other lending relationships in excess of $500,000, each of which
was performing in accordance with their repayment terms at such date, except for two of these lending
relationships. One relationship consists of nine loans, secured by one residential property and four
investment properties, totaling $755,000. This relationship included six loans totaling $456,000, which were not classified as non-performing loans, but were 60 days delinquent and classified as impaired at June 30, 2003. The other relationship consists of four loans
totaling $753,000, secured by one residential property, two commercial real estate properties and one
automobile, of which two loans totaling $87,000, secured by the commercial real estate properties, were
over 90-days delinquent at June 30, 2003. All previously mentioned loans are well collateralized
and no losses are expected.

composition of our loan portfolios in dollar amounts and in percentages. The loan amounts in the

The total amount of loans with fixed interest rates, which are due after June 30, 2004, is
$19.7 million. The total amount of loans with floating or adjustable interest rates, which are due
after June 30, 2004, is $53.0 million.
One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending. Residential loan originations are
generated by our marketing efforts, our present and walk-in customers, and referrals from real estate
brokers and builders. We have focused our lending efforts primarily on the origination of loans
secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, single-family residences in our market area. The
percentage of these loans held in our portfolio at June 30, 2003 is lower than in previous years due
to increased originations of fixed-rate loans, most of which we sell to Freddie Mac with retained
servicing rights.
We currently originate adjustable-rate mortgage loans and fixed-rate mortgage loans. During
the year ended June 30, 2003, we originated $9.8 million and $74.4 million of adjustable-rate and
fixed-rate one- to four-family loans, respectively. During the same period, we sold $70.0 million
of fixed-rate one- to four-family loans. We retain certain fixed-rate and all adjustable-rate mortgage
loans in our portfolio.
Our residential loans are underwritten and documented pursuant to the guidelines of the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"). Most of the fixed-rate residential loans
originated by us have contractual terms to maturity of ten to 30 years. Our decision to hold or sell
these loans is based on our asset/liability management policy and goals and the market conditions
for mortgages at any period in time. Under our current policy, we originate and sell substantially all
of our fixed-rate residential loans with terms of 15 years or more to Freddie Mac with servicing
retained. See "- Loan Originations, Sales and Repayments" below and "Management's Discussion
8NEXT PAGE
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Asset/Liability Management" under
Part II, Item 6 of this Form 10-KSB.
We currently offer one- and five-year adjustable-rate mortgage loans with monthly principal
and interest payments typically based on a ten- to 30-year amortization schedule.
Our five-year
adjustable rate mortgage loans replaced a similar seven-year adjustable rate mortgage loan product
we offered prior to fiscal 2001. The one- and five-year adjustable-rate mortgage loans generally have
a stated interest rate margin over the yield on one-year U.S. Treasury securities. The interest rate on
the one-year adjustable-rate mortgage loans adjusts annually. The five-year adjustable-rate mortgage
loans are fixed-rate loans for the initial stated term and, after five years, they automatically convert
into one year adjustable-rate mortgage loans. We do not offer discounted initial interest rates on
adjustable-rate mortgage loans. These loans provide for periodic and lifetime interest rate
adjustment caps over the initial rate. As a consequence of using caps and floors, the interest rates
on these loans may not be as rate sensitive as our cost of funds. Our adjustable-rate mortgage loans
are generally not convertible into fixed-rate loans. Our one- to four-family loans are not assumable,
do not contain prepayment penalties and do not permit negative amortization of principal.
Adjustable-rate mortgage loans generally pose different credit risks than do fixed-rate loans,
primarily because as interest rates rise, the underlying payment by the borrower rises, increasing the
potential for default. However, we have not experienced greater delinquency rates on our adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans compared to our fixed-rate residential mortgage loans. See "- Asset
Quality: Non-Performing Assets" and "- Asset Quality: Classified Assets."
We also originate non-owner occupied one- to four-family residential loans. These loans are
underwritten generally using the same criteria as owner-occupied one-to four-family residential
loans, but are originated at higher rates and lower loan-to-value ratios than owner-occupied loans.
At June 30, 2003, non-owner-occupied one- to four-family residential loans totaled $8.7 million or
11.2% of our gross loan portfolio.
In underwriting one- to four-family residential real estate loans, we evaluate both the
borrower's ability to make monthly payments and the value of the property securing the loan. It is
our general policy not to lend more than 97% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price
for owner-occupied loans. We generally require that private mortgage insurance be obtained in an
amount sufficient to reduce our exposure to 80% or below the lesser of the appraised value or
purchase price of the property. Properties securing one- to four-family real estate loans made by us
are appraised by independent fee appraisers approved by the Board of Directors. We generally
require borrowers to obtain title insurance, fire and property insurance and flood insurance (if
necessary) in an amount not less than the value of the security property. Real estate loans originated
by us generally contain a "due on sale" clause allowing us to declare the unpaid principal balance due
and payable upon the sale of the security property.
Commercial and Multi-Family Real Estate Lending. We are engaged in commercial and
multi-family real estate lending secured primarily by small retail establishments, small office
buildings, churches and other non-residential and residential properties located in our primary market
area.
9NEXT PAGE
Generally, the commercial and multi-family real estate loans originated by us are one-year
adjustable-rate loans. The interest rates on these loans generally provide for a margin above the one
year constant maturities Treasury index. These real estate loans typically do not exceed 75% of the
appraised value of the property securing the loan. The term of these loans generally does not exceed
15 to 20 years; however, we have originated some adjustable-rate mortgage loans with a term of up
to 25 years. In making the loan and setting its terms, we analyze the financial condition of the
borrower, the borrower's credit history, the reliability and predictability of the net income generated
by the property securing the loan and the value of the property itself. We generally require personal
guaranties of the borrowers in addition to the security property serving as collateral for the loans.
Appraisals on properties securing commercial and multi-family real estate loans originated by us are
performed by independent fee appraisers approved by the Board of Directors. We originated $5.6
million of commercial and multi-family real estate loans during fiscal 2003. See "- Loan
Originations, Sales and Repayments."
Loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate properties are generally larger and
involve a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Commercial and
multi-family real estate loans typically involve large balances to single borrowers or groups of
related borrowers. Because payments on loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate
properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties,
repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the
economy. If the cash flow from the project is reduced (for example, if leases are not obtained or
renewed), the borrower's ability to repay the loan may be impaired.
Construction and Development Lending. We make construction loans to individuals for
the construction of their residences, as well as to builders for the construction of one- to four-family
residences. Presently, all of these loans are secured by property located within our primary market
area.
Construction loans to individuals for their residences generally are structured to be converted
to permanent loans at the end of the construction phase, which typically runs six months. These
construction loans have rates and terms that match any one- to four-family loans then offered by us,
except, during the construction phase, the borrower pays interest only. Residential construction
loans are generally underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating permanent
residential loans. At June 30, 2003, we had $2.1 million of construction loans to borrowers
intending to live in the properties upon completion of construction.
Construction loans on non-residential properties are also structured to be converted to
permanent loans at the end of the typical six-month construction phase. Non-residential construction
loans, which are generally underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating
permanent non-residential loans, totaled $584,000 at June 30, 2003.
Construction loans to builders of one- to four-family residences are generally for a term of
six months. At June 30, 2003, we had $1.4 million of construction loans to builders of one- to four-family residences. These loans are generally not presold.
10NEXT PAGE
Construction loans are obtained principally through continued business from builders who
have previously borrowed from us, as well as referrals from existing and walk-in customers. The
application process includes a submission to us of plans, specifications and costs of the project to
be constructed. These items are used as a basis to determine the appraised value of the subject
property. Loans are based on the lesser of then-current appraised value and/or the cost of
construction (land plus building).
Also included in construction and development lending are loans secured by land intended
for future one- to four-family construction projects. These loans, totaling $1.1 million at June 30,
2003, are made to borrowers intending to live in the properties upon completion of construction and
to builders of one- to four-family residences.
Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs and the market for the
project upon completion, it is relatively difficult to evaluate accurately the total loan funds required
for the builder to complete a project and the likelihood of ultimate success of the project. We
charge higher interest rates and fees and require lower loan-to-value ratios on construction loans to
builders. These construction loans to borrowers who will not be owner-occupants also involve many
of the same risks discussed above regarding commercial real estate loans and tend to be more
sensitive to general economic conditions than many other types of loans.
Consumer Lending. We consider consumer lending to be an important component of our
business strategy. Specifically, consumer loans generally have shorter terms to maturity and/or
adjustable rates, thus reducing our exposure to changes in interest rates. Consumer loans generally
carry higher rates than do residential mortgage loans. In addition, we believe that offering consumer
loan products helps expand and create stronger ties to our existing customer base.
We currently offer a variety of secured consumer loans, including home equity lines of credit,
automobile loans, home improvement loans and loans secured by savings deposits. We also offer
unsecured consumer loans.
We currently originate substantially all of our consumer loans in our
primary market area solely on a direct basis. Direct loans are made when we extend credit directly
to the borrower, in contrast to indirect loans that are obtained when loan contracts are purchased by
us or other institution from retailers who have extended credit to their customers for goods or
services.
Our home equity lines of credit are written so that the total commitment amount, when
combined with the balance of the first mortgage lien, may not exceed the greater of 90% of the
appraised value of the property or 90% of two times the Michigan real estate assessment value.
These loans are revolving line of credit loans with adjustable interest rates. The majority of our
existing portfolio of these loans have 15-year terms with a minimum monthly payment requirement
of 2% of the unpaid balance. At June 30, 2003, we had $4.7 million of home equity lines of credit
outstanding, representing 6.1% of our gross loan portfolio. At that date, we had $6.0 million of
unused credit available under our home equity line of credit program.
11NEXT PAGE
The underwriting standards employed by us for consumer loans include a determination of
the applicant's payment history on other debts and an assessment of the ability to meet existing
obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although the credit worthiness of the applicant is
a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the
security, if any, in relation to the proposed loan amount.
Consumer loans may entail greater risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the
case of consumer loans that are unsecured, or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as
automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not
provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater
likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on
the borrower's continuing financial stability and, thus, are more likely to be affected by adverse
personal circumstances, including unemployment. Furthermore, the application of various federal
and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount that can be
recovered on such loans. Although the level of delinquencies in our consumer loan portfolio has
generally been low, there can be no assurance that delinquencies will not increase in the future. See
"-Asset Quality: Non-Performing Assets."
Commercial Business Lending. Our commercial business lending activities have
encompassed loans with a variety of purposes and security, including loans to finance inventory and
equipment. Generally, our commercial business lending has been done as an accommodation to
existing borrowers and has been limited to borrowers headquartered or doing business in our primary
market area. At June 30, 2003, we had $1.6 million of commercial business loans outstanding,
representing 2.0% of our gross loan portfolio.
Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower's
ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other income and are secured by real
property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans are of higher
risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash
flow of the borrower's business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of
commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself.
Further, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise, and
may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.
Loan Originations, Sales and Repayments. We originate loans through our marketing
efforts, existing and walk-in customers and referrals from real estate brokers and builders. While
we originate both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans, our ability to originate loans is dependent
upon the relative customer demand for loans in our market. Demand is affected by local competition
and the interest rate environment. Since the end of 2000, we have experienced high originations of
fixed-rate residential mortgage loans. This was the result of decreased interest rates during these
periods, which resulted in a higher demand for loan refinancing. Substantially all fixed-rate
residential mortgage loans with maturities in excess of 15 years are sold to Freddie Mac, with the
servicing rights retained. These loans are originated to satisfy customer demand, generate fee
income at the time of sale and produce future servicing income consistent with the goals of our
asset/liability management program.
12NEXT PAGE
We sold fixed-rate residential mortgage loans to Freddie Mac without recourse in aggregate
amounts of $70.0 million, $36.8 million and $18.7 million during the years ended June 30, 2003,
2002 and 2001, respectively. When loans are sold, we typically retain the responsibility for
collecting and remitting loan payments, making certain that real estate tax payments are made on
behalf of borrowers and otherwise servicing the loans. We receive a servicing fee from Freddie Mac
for performing these services. The servicing fee is recognized as income over the life of the loans.
We serviced for others mortgage loans originated and sold by us amounting to $92.5 million at June
30, 2003.
In periods of economic uncertainty, our ability to originate a large dollar volume of real estate
loans may be substantially reduced or restricted, with a resultant decrease in related fee income and
operating earnings.
The following table shows our loan origination, sale and repayment activities for the periods
indicated.

Asset Quality
Delinquent Loans. When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, we attempt
to cause the delinquency to be cured by contacting the borrower. In the case of residential loans, a
late notice is sent for accounts 15 or more days delinquent. Additional written and oral contacts may
be made with the borrower between 15 and 90 days after the due date. If the delinquency continues
for a period of over 90 days, we usually send a default letter to the borrower, and if a response is not
received within a reasonable time thereafter, we institute appropriate action to foreclose on the
property. If foreclosed, the property is sold at public auction and may be purchased by us.
Delinquent consumer loans are handled in a generally similar manner, except that initial contacts are
made with the borrower when the payment is 10 days past due. Our procedure for repossession and
sale of consumer collateral are subject to various requirements under Michigan consumer protection
laws.
The following table sets forth our loan delinquencies by type, by amount and by percentage
of type at June 30, 2003.

Non-Performing Assets. The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in our loan portfolio. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when the collection
of principal and/or interest become doubtful. Loans more than 90 days past due, and other loans of
concern, are placed on non-accrual status, unless management determines that the loans are well-collateralized and in the process of collection. See "Loans" and "Allowance for Loan Losses" under
Notes 1 and 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-KSB
for additional information on impaired loans. For all years presented, we have had no troubled debt
restructurings, which involve forgiving a portion of interest or principal on any loans or making
loans at a rate materially less than that of market rates. Foreclosed assets include assets acquired in
settlement of loans.

For the year ended June 30, 2003, gross interest income which would have been recorded had
the non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $2,000. The
amounts that were included in interest income on such loans were $1,000 for the year ended June
30, 2003.
For a discussion on our non-performing assets, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis -
Provision for Loan Losses" under Part II, Item 6 of this Form 10-KSB.
Except as discussed under the captions "Other Loans of Concern" and "Classified Assets"
below, as of June 30, 2003, there were no loans that were not included in the table above where
known information about the possible credit problems of borrowers caused management to have
serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms and
which may result in disclosure of such loans in the future.
Other Loans of Concern. In addition to the non-performing assets set forth in the table
above, other loans of concern included three loans with an aggregate net book value of $1.4 million
as of June 30, 2003. This total was primarily two loans to one borrower, totaling $1.3 million,
secured by a unique one- to four-family property comprised of a second home for the borrower and
a one- to four-family rental property. In addition, we had one loan totaling $87,000 secured by a
one- to four-family construction property. These loans are of concern due to the payment history of
the borrowers, which may cause management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to
comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such
items in the non-performing asset categories.
15NEXT PAGE
Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets,
such as debt and equity securities considered by the OTS to be of lesser quality, as "substandard,"
"doubtful" or "loss." An asset is considered "substandard" if it is inadequately protected by the
current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.
"Substandard" assets include those characterized by the "distinct possibility" that the insured
institution will sustain "some loss" if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as
"doubtful" have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified "substandard," with the added
characteristic that the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in full," on the basis of
currently existing facts, conditions, and values, "highly questionable and improbable." Assets
classified as "loss" are those considered "uncollectible" and of such little value that their continuance
as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.
When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may
establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management. General
allowances represent loss allowances that have been established to recognize the inherent risk
associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to
particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as "loss," it is
required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset
so classified or to charge off such amount. An institution's determination as to the classification of
its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the OTS and the FDIC,
which may order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.
In connection with the filing of our periodic reports with the OTS and in accordance with our
classification of assets policy, we regularly review the problem assets in our portfolio to determine
whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. On the basis of
management's review of our assets at June 30, 2003, we had classified $925,000 of our assets as
substandard, $27,000 as doubtful and none as loss, representing 6.3% of the stockholders' equity or
..92% of total assets. We have also classified $2.8 million of our assets as special mention.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision
for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in our loan portfolio and
changes in the nature and volume of our loan activity, including those loans which are being
specifically monitored by management. Such evaluation, which includes a review of loans for which
full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated fair
value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience and other
factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance.
Real estate properties acquired through foreclosure are recorded at lower of cost or fair value,
less estimated disposition costs. If fair value at the date of foreclosure is lower than the balance of
the related loan, the difference will be charged-off to the allowance for loan losses at the time of
transfer. Valuations are periodically updated by management and if the value declines, a specific
provision for losses on such property is established by a charge to operations.
Although management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the
allowance, unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustments and net earnings could be
significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the
final determination. Future additions to the allowance will be the result of periodic loan, property
16NEXT PAGE
and collateral reviews and thus cannot be predicted in advance. At June 30, 2003, we had a total
allowance for loan losses of $639,000 or 69.38% of non-performing loans. See Management's
Discussion and Analysis - Provision for Loan Losses under Part II, Item 6 and Notes 1 and 4 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-KSB.

Investment Activities
Marshall Savings must maintain sufficient levels of liquid assets to meet the safety and
soundness requirements under OTS regulations. The Bank's management is expected by OTS to
establish a strategy for measuring and maintaining short- and long-term liquidity needs and a
contingency plan for handling unexpected needs for liquidity due to institution-specific or general
market conditions. In order to meet these requirements, short-term and long-term cash flow
projections are regularly reviewed and updated based upon our assessment of expected loan demand,
expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities and the objective
of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquidity is invested generally in interest-earning
overnight deposits of the FHLB of Indianapolis or securities available for sale. If funds are required
beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the FHLB of
Indianapolis that provide an additional source of funds. FHLB advances totaled $11.3 million at
June 30, 2003, which left an additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $21.1 million at June
30, 2003. We utilize a liquidity ratio calculated by using the current quarter average daily liquid
assets balance as a percentage of the preceding quarter average daily balance of net withdrawable
savings deposits and current borrowings. Our liquidity ratio at June 30, 2003 was 30.9%.
Federally chartered savings institutions have the authority to invest in various types of liquid
assets, including United States Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies, certain
certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers' acceptances,
repurchase agreements and federal funds. Subject to various restrictions, federally chartered savings
institutions may also invest their assets in investment grade commercial paper and corporate debt
securities and mutual funds whose assets conform to the investments that a federally chartered
savings institution is otherwise authorized to make directly.

Sources of Funds
General. Our source of funds are deposits, FHLBank advances, payment of principal and
interest on loans, proceeds from the sale of loans, interest earned on or sales and maturation of
securities and short-term investments, and funds provided from operations.
Deposits. We offer a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and
terms. Our deposits consist of passbook and statement savings accounts, money market deposit
accounts, noninterest and interest-bearing checking accounts, and certificate of deposit accounts
currently ranging in terms from seven days to 60 months.
We only solicit deposits from our market
area and we do not use brokers to obtain deposits. We rely primarily on competitive pricing policies,
advertising and customer service to attract and retain these deposits.
The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in
money market and prevailing interest rates, and competition.
The variety of deposit accounts we offer has allowed us to be competitive in obtaining funds
and to respond with flexibility to changes in consumer demand. As customers have become more
interest rate conscious, we have become more susceptible to short-term fluctuations in deposit flows.
We endeavor to manage the pricing of our deposits in keeping with our asset/liability management,
liquidity and profitability objectives. Based on our experience, we believe that our savings and
checking accounts are relatively stable sources of deposits. The ability to attract and maintain
certificates of deposit and the rates paid on these deposits, however, has been and will continue to
be significantly affected by market conditions.

Borrowings. Although deposits are our primary source of funds, we may utilize borrowings
when they are a less costly source of funds and can be invested at a positive interest rate spread, or
when we desire additional capacity to fund loan demand.
Our borrowings historically have consisted primarily of advances from the FHLBank.
Advances can be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own
interest rate and range of maturities. At June 30, 2003, we had FHLBank advances totaling $11.3
million. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 7 of this Form
10-KSB for information on maturity dates and interest rates relating to our FHLBank advances.

Subsidiary and Other Activities
As a federally chartered savings bank, Marshall Savings is permitted by OTS regulations to
invest up to 2% of its assets, or $2.1 million at June 30, 2003, in the stock, obligations or other
securities of service corporation subsidiaries. Marshall Savings may invest an additional 1% of its
assets in service corporations if such additional funds are used for inner-city or community
development purposes. Marshall Savings formed Marshall Services, Inc., a Michigan corporation
in August 1998 for the purpose of acquiring an equity interest in a title insurance company. During
fiscal 2003, the net income of Marshall Services, Inc., was $37,000.
Regulation
General. Marshall Savings is a federally chartered savings bank, the deposits of which are
insured by the FDIC and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government.
Accordingly, Marshall Savings is subject to broad federal regulation and oversight extending to all
its operations. Marshall Savings is a member of the FHLBank and is subject to certain limited
regulation by the Federal Reserve Board. As the savings and loan holding company of Marshall
Savings, MSB Financial also is subject to federal regulation and oversight.
Federal Regulation of Savings Associations. The OTS has extensive authority over the
operations of savings associations. As part of this authority, we are required to file periodic reports
with the OTS and are subject to periodic examinations by the OTS. When these examinations are
conducted by the OTS, the examiners may require Marshall Savings to provide for higher general
or specific loan loss reserves. All savings associations are subject to a semi-annual assessment,
based upon the savings association's total assets, to fund the operations of the OTS.
22NEXT PAGE
The OTS also has extensive enforcement authority over all savings institutions and their
holding companies, including Marshall Savings and MSB Financial. This enforcement authority
includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist
or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions.
Our general permissible lending limit for one borrower or group of related borrowers is equal
to the greater of $500,000 or 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus (except for loans fully secured
by certain readily marketable collateral, in which case this limit is increased to 25% of unimpaired
capital and surplus). At June 30, 2003, our lending limit under this restriction was $1.8 million.
Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC. As insurer, the FDIC imposes deposit
insurance premiums and is authorized to conduct examinations of and to require reporting by FDIC-insured institutions. It also may prohibit any savings association from engaging in any activity as
principal that the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious risk to the Savings
Association Insurance Fund, which is the source of funds insuring accounts. The FDIC also has the
authority to initiate enforcement actions against institutions, after giving the OTS an opportunity to
take action, and may terminate deposit insurance if it determines that an institution has engaged in
unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.
The FDIC's deposit insurance premiums are assessed through a risk-based system under
which all insured depository institutions are placed into one of nine categories and assessed
insurance premiums based upon their level of capital and supervisory evaluation. Under the system,
institutions classified as well capitalized (i.e., a leverage ratio of at least 5%, a ratio of Tier 1 or core
capital to risk-weighted assets ("Tier 1 risk-based capital") of at least 6% and a total risk-based
capital ratio of at least 10%) and considered healthy pay the lowest premiums while institutions that
are less than adequately capitalized (i.e., leverage ratio or Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of less than
4% or a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8%) and considered of substantial supervisory
concern pay the highest premiums. Risk classifications of all insured institutions are made by the
FDIC semi-annually. At June 30, 2003, Marshall Savings was classified as a well capitalized
institution.
The premium schedule for Savings Association Insurance Fund insured institutions ranges
from 0 to 27 basis points. However, Savings Association Insurance Fund insured institutions also
are required to pay a Financing Corporation assessment in order to fund the interest on bonds issued
to resolve thrift failures in the 1980s. This amount is currently equal to about 1.72 points for each
$100 in domestic deposits. These assessments, which may be revised based upon the level of
insured deposits, will continue until the bonds mature in 2017 through 2019.
Prompt Corrective Action and Regulatory Capital Requirements. The OTS and the FDIC
are authorized and, under certain circumstances required, to take certain actions against savings
associations that are undercapitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. The OTS is
generally required to take action to restrict the activities of an "undercapitalized association"
(generally defined to be one with less than a 4% leverage ratio, a 4% Tier 1 risked-based capital ratio
or an 8% total risk-based capital ratio). Any such association must submit a capital restoration plan
and until such plan is approved by the OTS may not increase its assets, acquire another institution,
establish a branch or engage in any new activities, and generally may not make capital distributions.
The OTS is authorized to impose the additional restrictions that are applicable to significantly
23NEXT PAGE
undercapitalized associations. The OTS is also generally authorized to reclassify an association into
a lower capital category and impose the restrictions applicable to such category if the institution is
engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.
The imposition by the OTS or the FDIC any of these measures on Marshall Savings may have
a substantial adverse effect on our operations and profitability. All savings associations are also
required to maintain minimum capital ratio standards, including a tangible capital ratio, a leverage
ratio (or core capital) and a risk-based capital ratio. See Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-KSB.
The capital regulations require tangible capital of at least 1.5% of adjusted total assets (as
defined by regulation). At June 30, 2003, we had tangible capital of $11.6 million, or 11.4% of
adjusted total assets, which was approximately $10.1 million above the minimum requirement of
1.5% of adjusted total assets in effect on that date.
The capital standards also require a leverage ratio of core capital equal to at least 3% to 4%
of adjusted total assets, depending on an institution's supervisory rating. Core capital generally
consists of tangible capital. At June 30, 2003, we had core capital equal to $11.6 million, or 11.4%
of adjusted total assets, which was $7.5 million above the minimum leverage ratio requirement of
4% in effect on that date.
The OTS risk-based capital requirement requires savings associations to have total capital
of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets. Total capital consists of core capital, as defined above, and
supplementary capital. Supplementary capital consists of certain permanent and maturing capital
instruments that do not qualify as core capital and general valuation loan and lease loss allowances
up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Supplementary capital may be used to satisfy
the risk-based requirement only to the extent of core capital.
In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance-
sheet items, will be multiplied by a risk weight, ranging from 0% to 100%, based on the risk inherent
in the type of asset. For example, the OTS has assigned a risk weight of 50% for prudently
underwritten permanent one- to four-family first lien mortgage loans not more than 90 days
delinquent and having a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 90% at origination unless insured to
such ratio by an approved insurer.
On June 30, 2003, we had total risk-based capital of approximately $12.2 million, including
$11.6 million in core capital and $639,000 in qualifying supplementary capital, and risk-weighted
assets of $70.6 million, or total capital of 17.4% of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $6.6
million above the 8% requirement in effect on that date.
The OTS is authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on
individual associations on a case-by-case basis.
Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions. OTS regulations impose various
restrictions on savings associations with respect to their ability to make distributions of capital,
which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers and other transactions
charged to the capital account. OTS regulations also prohibit a savings association from declaring
24NEXT PAGE
or paying any dividends or from repurchasing any of its stock if, as a result, the regulatory capital
of the association would be reduced below limits imposed by the OTS.
A savings association, such as Marshall Savings, may make a capital distribution, generally,
with prior notice to the OTS. The distribution may not exceed its net income for the calendar year-to-date plus retained net income for the previous two calendar years (less any dividends previously
paid). Savings associations that would remain adequately capitalized following the proposed
distribution and meet other requirements must notify the OTS 30 days prior to declaring a capital
distribution. All other institutions or those seeking to exceed the noted amounts must file an
application for OTS approval before making the distribution.
Qualified Thrift Lender Test. All savings associations are required to meet a qualified thrift
lender test to avoid certain restrictions on their operations. This test requires a savings association
to have at least 65% of its portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments on a monthly average for
nine out of every 12 months on a rolling basis. As an alternative, the savings association may
maintain 60% of its assets in those assets specified in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue
Code. Under either test, these assets primarily consist of residential housing related loans and
investments. At June 30, 2003, Marshall Savings met the test and has always met the test since its
effectiveness.
Any savings association that fails to meet the qualified thrift lender test must convert to a
national bank charter, unless it requalifies as a qualified thrift lender and remains a qualified thrift
lender. If an institution does not requalify and converts to a national bank charter, it must remain
Savings Association Insurance Fund-insured until the FDIC permits it to transfer to the Banking
Insurance Fund. If an institution has not yet requalified or converted to a national bank, its new
investments and activities are limited to those permissible for both a savings association and a
national bank, and it is limited to national bank branching rights. If an institution has not requalified
or converted to a national bank within three years after the failure, it must sell all investments and
stop all activities not permissible for a national bank. In addition, it must repay promptly any
outstanding FHLBank borrowings, which may result in prepayment penalties. If any institution that
fails the qualified thrift lender test is controlled by a holding company, then within one year after the
failure, the holding company must register as a bank holding company and become subject to all
restrictions on bank holding companies. See "- Holding Company Regulation."
Community Reinvestment Act. Under the Community Reinvestment Act, every FDIC-insured institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with safe and sound
banking practices to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate
income neighborhoods. The Community Reinvestment Act requires the OTS, in connection with
the examination of Marshall Savings, to assess the institution's record of meeting the credit needs
of its community and to take this record into account in its evaluation of certain applications, such
as a merger or the establishment of a branch, by Marshall Savings. An unsatisfactory rating may be
used as the basis for the denial of an application by the OTS. Marshall Savings was examined for
Community Reinvestment Act compliance in March, 1999 and received a rating of "satisfactory".
Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders. Generally, transactions between a savings
association or its subsidiaries and its affiliates are required to be on terms as favorable to the
association as transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain of these transactions, such as
25NEXT PAGE
loans to an affiliate, are restricted to a percentage of the association's capital. Affiliates of Marshall
Savings include MSB Financial and any company which is under common control with Marshall
Savings. In addition, a savings association may not lend to any affiliate engaged in activities not
permissible for a bank holding company or acquire the securities of an affiliate. The OTS has the
discretion to treat subsidiaries of savings associations as affiliates on a case by case basis.
Certain transactions with directors, officers or controlling persons are also subject to
restrictions under regulations enforced by the OTS. These regulations limit loans to such persons
and their related interests. Among other things, such loans generally must be made on terms
substantially the same as for loans to unaffiliated individuals.
Holding Company Regulation. MSB Financial is a grandfathered unitary savings and loan
holding company subject to regulatory oversight by the OTS. MSB Financial is required to register
and file reports with the OTS and is subject to regulation and examination by the OTS. In addition,
the OTS has enforcement authority over MSB Financial and its non-savings association subsidiaries,
which also permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk
to the subsidiary savings association.
As a grandfathered unitary savings and loan holding company, MSB Financial generally is
not subject to activity restrictions. If MSB Financial acquires control of another savings association
as a separate subsidiary, it would become a multiple savings and loan holding company and the
activities of MSB Financial and any of its subsidiaries (other than Marshall Savings or any other
insured savings association) would generally become subject to additional restrictions. If Marshall
Savings fails the qualified thrift lender test, within one year MSB Financial must register as, and will
become subject to, the significant activity restrictions applicable to bank holding companies.
Federal Securities Law. The stock of MSB Financial is registered with the SEC under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. MSB Financial is subject to the information, proxy
solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements of the SEC under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.
MSB Financial stock held by persons who are affiliates (generally executive officers,
directors and 10% stockholders) of MSB Financial may not be resold without registration or unless
sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. If MSB Financial meets specified current public
information requirements, each affiliate of MSB Financial is able to sell in the public market,
without registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month period.
Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to
maintain noninterest bearing reserves at specified levels against their transaction accounts (primarily
checking, NOW and Super NOW checking accounts). At June 30, 2003, Marshall Savings was in
compliance with these reserve requirements. The balances maintained to meet the reserve
requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements
that may be imposed by the OTS.
Savings associations are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank "discount
window," but Federal Reserve Board regulations require associations to exhaust other reasonable
26NEXT PAGE
alternative sources of funds, including FHLBank borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal
Reserve Bank.
FHLBank System. Marshall Savings is a member of the FHLBank of Indianapolis, which
is one of 12 regional FHLBanks that administer the home financing credit function of savings
associations. Each FHLBank serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned
region. It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures,
established by the board of directors of the FHLBank, which are subject to the oversight of the
Federal Housing Finance Board. All advances from the FHLBank are required to be fully secured
by sufficient collateral as determined by the FHLBank. In addition, all long-term advances must be
used for residential home financing.
As a member, Marshall Savings is required to purchase and maintain a minimum amount of
stock in the FHLBank. At June 30, 2003, Marshall Savings had $1.4 million in FHLBank stock,
which was in compliance with this requirement. In past years, Marshall Savings has received
substantial dividends on its FHLBank stock. Over the past five fiscal years these dividends have
averaged 7.27% and were 5.73% for fiscal 2003.
Federal and State Taxation
Federal Taxation. Savings institutions that met certain definitional tests relating to the
composition of assets and other conditions prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, had been permitted to establish reserves for bad debts and to make annual additions which
could, within specified formula limits, be taken as a deduction in computing taxable income for
federal income tax purposes. The amount of the bad debt reserve deduction is now computed under
the experience method.
Legislation enacted in 1996 eliminated the special thrift bad debt tax deduction provisions.
Post 1987 bad debt accumulations in excess of amounts allowed under the legislation will be
recaptured into income over six years beginning with the year ended June 30, 1999. Bad debt
reserve accumulations prior to 1988 are exempt from recapture, unless the Company liquidates, pays
a dividend in excess of earnings and profits, or redeems stock. The Bank's pre-1988 tax bad debt
reserves which have been suspended are $1,272,000.
In addition to the regular income tax, corporations, including savings institutions generally
are subject to a minimum tax. An alternative minimum tax is imposed at a minimum tax rate of 20%
on alternative minimum taxable income, which is the sum of a corporation's regular taxable income
(with certain adjustments) and tax preference items, less any available exemption. The alternative
minimum tax is imposed to the extent it exceeds the corporation's regular income tax and net
operating losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income.
We file consolidated federal income tax returns on a fiscal year basis using the accrual
method of accounting. Savings institutions that file federal income tax returns as part of a
consolidated group are required by applicable Treasury regulations to reduce their taxable income
for purposes of computing the percentage bad debt deduction for losses attributable to activities of
the non-savings association members of the consolidated group that are functionally related to the
activities of the savings association member.
27NEXT PAGE
Our federal income tax returns for the last three years are open to possible audit by the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). No returns are being audited by the IRS at the current time. In
our opinion, any examination of still open returns would not result in a deficiency which could have
a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Michigan Taxation. The State of Michigan imposes a "Single Business Tax." The Single
Business Tax is a value-added type of tax and is for the privilege of doing business in the State of
Michigan. The major components of the Single Business Tax base are compensation, depreciation
and federal taxable income, as increased by net operating loss carry forwards, if any, utilized in
arriving at federal taxable income and decreased by a percentage of the net cost paid or accrued in
a taxable year for qualifying tangible assets physically located in Michigan. The tax rate is 1.9% of
the Michigan adjusted tax base. Originally, legislation was passed in 1999 to phase out the Single
Business Tax at the rate of 0.1% per year over the next 23 years, subject to there being a balance of
at least $250 million in Michigan's Budget Stabilization Fund. Legislation enacted in 2002 has
accelerated the elimination of the Single Business Tax to years beginning after December 31, 2009.
Maryland Taxation. As a Maryland holding company, the holding company is required to
file an annual Maryland corporate income tax return. The tax rate is 7% of Maryland modified
income. Because the holding company conducts all of its business in Michigan, it is anticipated that
the holding company's Maryland modified income will be zero, therefore, resulting in no Maryland
income tax.
Competition
We face strong competition, both in originating real estate and other loans and in attracting
deposits. Competition in originating real estate loans comes primarily from other savings
institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and mortgage bankers making loans secured by real
estate located in our primary market area. Other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit
unions and finance companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending.
We attract all of our deposits through our three offices in Marshall, Michigan. Competition
for those deposits is principally from other savings institutions, commercial banks and credit unions
located in the same communities, as well as mutual funds. We compete for these deposits by
offering a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates, convenient business hours, and convenient
locations.
We primarily serve Marshall, Michigan and its surrounding communities. There are three
commercial banks and two credit unions which compete for deposits and loans in our primary market
area.

Employees
At June 30, 2003, we had a total of 33 employees, all but three of whom were full-time
employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group and we consider
our employee relations to be good.
Item 2. Description of Property
We conduct our business through our three offices located in Marshall, Michigan, all of
which we own. We believe that our current facilities are adequate to meet our present and
foreseeable needs. The total net book value of our premises and equipment (including land, building
and furniture, fixtures and equipment) at June 30, 2003 was $1.3 million. See Note 6 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements contained under Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-KSB.
Our investment in real estate mortgages is described in Item 1 - Description of Business -
Lending Activities. We do not invest in companies primarily engaged in real estate activities. We
do not invest in real estate, except for our offices and for collateral property acquired in foreclosures
or by deed in lieu of foreclosure.
We maintain an on-line data base with a service bureau servicing financial institutions. The
net book value of the data processing and computer equipment utilized by us to maintain this
database was $189,000 at June 30, 2003.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
From time to time we are involved as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising
in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2003, we were not involved in any legal proceedings
that were expected to have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, and no
such legal proceedings were initiated as of the date of the filing of this report.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders, through the solicitation of proxies or
otherwise, during the quarter ended June 30, 2003.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
General
MSB Financial was formed as a Delaware corporation in September 1994 to act as the
holding company for Marshall Savings upon the completion of the Bank's conversion from the
mutual to the stock form. MSB Financial received approval from the OTS to acquire all of the
common stock of Marshall Savings outstanding upon completion of the conversion. The conversion
was completed on February 6, 1995. On December 8, 1998, shareholders approved a proposal to
reincorporate MSB Financial from the State of Delaware to the State of Maryland. The following
discussion compares the consolidated financial condition of MSB Financial and Marshall Savings
at June 30, 2003 to June 30, 2002 and the results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2003,
2002 and 2001. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes included herein.
MSB Financial is headquartered in Marshall, Michigan, and through the operations of
Marshall Savings, is primarily engaged in attracting retail deposits from the general public and
investing those funds in permanent and construction loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences. Mortgage originations are either held in our loan portfolio
or are sold in the secondary market. To a lesser extent, we also originate consumer loans, loans
secured by first mortgages on non-owner occupied, one- to four-family residences and permanent
and construction loans secured by commercial real estate and commercial loans.
Permanent loans secured by one- to four-family residences accounted for approximately
52.7% of our gross loan portfolio at June 30, 2003, 59.9% at June 30, 2002, and 61.3% at June 30,
2001. We originated total loans of $92.5 million, $66.7 million, and $43.1 million during fiscal
2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively, and sold $70.3 million, $37.3 million, and $18.7 million of
loans, respectively during these periods. We offer a wide variety of adjustable and fixed-rate
mortgage loans, with many pricing options and maturity choices, along with a full array of consumer
loans. For all years presented, we sold most fixed-rate one- to four-family loans originated with
terms longer than 15 years in the secondary market.
On September 2, 2003, MSB Financial entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of
Merger, which was amended and restated on September 24, 2003, with Monarch Community
Bancorp, Inc. located in Coldwater, Michigan. Under the terms of that agreement, MSB Financial
will merge into Monarch Community Bancorp and Marshall Savings will merge into Monarch
Community Bank, with expected completion during the first quarter of 2004. For more information
please refer to our SEC Form 8-K, filed September 26, 2003, which may be found at the SEC's
website,
www.sec.gov or at
www.marshallsavings.com under investor relations.
31NEXT PAGE
Financial Condition
Total assets decreased $4.9 million, or 4.6%, from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2003. The
decrease in assets was primarily due to a decrease in net loans, including loans held for sale, of $9.3
million or 11.1% from $83.4 million at June 30, 2002 to $74.1 million at June 30, 2003. We
experienced another year of strong loan refinancing activity in favor of fixed-rate one- to four-family
mortgage loans, a result of the low mortgage interest rate market. We continued to sell most of the
fixed-rate mortgage products originated to Freddie Mac, retaining the right to service these loans.
This resulted in the decrease in net loans. However, mortgage loans serviced for others increased
from $73.2 million at June 30, 2002 to $92.5 million at June 30, 2003, an increase of $19.3 million
or 26.3%. Correspondingly, mortgage servicing rights increased $167,000 or 28.5%, at June 30,
2003 as compared to June 30, 2002.
Offsetting the decrease in net loans, including loans held for sale, mentioned above was an
increase in securities available for sale of $4.8 million or 4.3% from $11.1 million at June 30, 2002
to $15.9 million at June 30, 2003. This increase in securities available for sale was the result of
significant cash flow from loan sales to Freddie Mac. Other assets at June 30, 2003 totaled $3.2
million compared to $3.7 million at June 30, 2002. This decrease was primarily the result of a
change in real estate owned, which was the result of the sale of three properties. Total liabilities
decreased $4.1 million to $88.0 million from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2003. The decrease in
liabilities was primarily the result of a decrease in FHLB advances of $4.1 million, due to the
scheduled payments made during fiscal 2003. In addition we experienced a decrease in deposits of
$1.5 million from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2003, partially attributed to withdrawals made from
deposit accounts in favor of alternative investments offered by our new investments program
affiliated with LPL Financial Services.
Offsetting the decreases in liabilities discussed above was an increase in accrued expenses
and other liabilities of $1.4 million, or 109.9%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in
funds due to Freddie Mac of $1.3 million on the pay off of serviced loans at fiscal year end with
funds remitted after June 30, 2003. We also recorded an increase in advance payments by borrowers
for taxes and insurance of $166,000, or 18.7%, as compared to June 30, 2002.
Shareholders' equity decreased $828,000, or 5.2%, from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2003.
This decrease was primarily the result of dividends paid to shareholders during fiscal 2003 totaling
$3.1 million, which included a special cash dividend of $2.00 per share. Dividends payments to
shareholders were partially offset by net income $1.8 million and proceeds from the exercise of stock
options totaling $520,000. During the year ended June 30, 2003, we repurchased 12,500 shares of
our common stock at a total cost of $162,500, with an average cost of $13.00 per share, as compared
to 13,598 shares during the year ended June 30, 2002, at a total cost of $174,000, or $12.79 per
share. Shareholders' equity to total assets remains strong at 14.8% at June 30, 2003, compared to
14.9% and 16.0% at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Results of Operations
General. Our results of operations depend primarily upon the level of net interest income,
which is the difference between the interest income earned on loans and securities, interest-bearing
deposits, and other interest-earning assets, and the interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds.
32NEXT PAGE
Our results of operations are also dependent upon the level of our non-interest income, including fee
income and service charges, gains or losses on the sales of loans and the level of our noninterest
expense, including general and administrative expense. We, like other financial institutions, are
subject to interest rate risk to the degree that our interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at
different times, or on a different basis, than our interest-earning assets.
Net Income. Net income for the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, was $1.8
million, $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
Our return on average assets was 1.76% for fiscal 2003, compared to 1.49% for fiscal 2002
and 1.53% for fiscal 2001. Our return on average shareholders' equity was 12.04% for fiscal 2003,
compared to 9.24% for fiscal 2002 and 9.92% for fiscal 2001. Average shareholders' equity to
average assets was 14.60%, 16.12% and 15.46%, and our dividend payout ratio was 172.54%,
34.62% and 30.67% for the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001,
was $4.2 million, $3.9 million, and $3.8 million, respectively. The increase in net interest income
for 2003 and 2002 was primarily the result of a decrease in total interest expense. Interest expense
decreased $828,000 during fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002, and decreased $735,000 during
fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001. The decrease in interest expense during fiscal 2003 and
fiscal 2002 was the result of both a decrease in interest paid on Federal Home Loan Bank advances,
due to a decrease in the average principal balance outstanding, and a general decrease in interest rates
over the period.
Interest and dividend income for the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, was $6.3
million, $6.9 million and $7.5 million, respectively. This represents decreases of $570,000 during
fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002 and $624,000 during fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001.
These decreases were primarily due to a decrease in net loans receivable due to increased sales of
fixed-rate loans in the secondary market, as well as a decrease in mortgage interest rates. The
average yield earned on loans for the periods ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, was 7.47%,
7.97% and 8.49%, respectively.

as the interest expense paid on average interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant rates. No tax equivalent adjustments were made. All average balances
are monthly average balances. Non-accruing loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Rate/Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income
The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest
expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It
distinguishes between the changes related to outstanding balances and those due to the changes in
interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information
is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (
i.e., changes in volume multiplied by
old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (
i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this
table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated
proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is a result of our periodic analysis
of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. At June 30, 2003, our allowance for loan losses
totaled $639,000, or 0.85% of net loans receivable and 69.38% of total non-performing loans.
Compared to June 30, 2002, our allowance for loan losses totaled $554,000, or 0.66% of net loans
receivable and 78.36% of total non-performing loans. Our provision for loan losses was $190,000
in fiscal 2003 compared to $73,000 in fiscal 2002 and $68,000 in fiscal 2001.
The provision for loan losses increased by $117,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003 from
the year ended June 30, 2002, due to our continuing reassessment of probable incurred losses in the
loan portfolio. During fiscal 2003, we recorded $90,000 in charge-offs to adjust the book value on
two properties to market value, one of which was acquired on foreclosure and the other was acquired
by deed transfer. Both properties are secured by one- to four-family real estate. Also, during fiscal
35NEXT PAGE
2003, we experienced an increase in loans classified as impaired. See Note 4 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements under Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-KSB for more information
regarding our impaired loans. Provision for loan losses increased by $5,000 for year ended June 30,
2002, as compared to year ended June 30, 2001. The increase during fiscal 2002 was primarily the
result of $70,000 charged off during the period to adjust the book value on two foreclosed properties
to market value. One is secured by a one- to four-family construction property and the other by
commercial real estate. Loans charged off totaled $111,000 in fiscal 2003, $102,000 in fiscal 2002
and $13,000 in fiscal 2001.
We have established an allowance for loan losses based on an analysis of risk factors in the
loan portfolio. This analysis includes the evaluation of concentrations of credit, past loss experience,
current economic conditions, amount and composition of the loan portfolio, estimated fair value of
underlying collateral, loan commitments outstanding, delinquencies, and other factors. Accordingly,
the calculation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is not based directly on the level of
non-performing loans. Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days or
more and still accruing interest, foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets. Loans greater
than 90 days past due, and other designated loans of concern, are placed on non-accrual status, unless
it is determined that the loans are well collateralized and in the process of collection. Non-performing assets at June 30, 2003, decreased $280,000 to $1.3 million, as compared to $1.5 million
at June 30, 2002.
Included in non-performing assets are our foreclosed assets, which decreased $494,000 at
June 30, 2003, as compared to June 30, 2002. This decrease is primarily the result of one borrower
selling seven investment properties, totaling $481,000, of which $446,000 was held in redemption
and classified as foreclosed real estate and $35,000 was classified as non-accrual loans at June 30,
2002. As part of the workout of the borrower's bankruptcy, these seven properties were sold to a
single purchaser, who also received financing from Marshall Savings. These properties are now held
as collateral for one loan totaling $555,000, which was current as of June 30, 2003. At June 30,
2002, the capitalized non-accrued interest at the time of restructure of the old loans was $65,000 and
held as deferred income. During fiscal 2003, the deferred interest was transferred to interest income
after the sale of the properties and a review period of the new borrower's payment history on the new
loan.
Other foreclosed asset activity during fiscal 2003 included the sale of two foreclosed
properties totaling $320,000. One property totaling $180,000 was secured by a one- to four- family
construction property and the other totaling $182,000 was secured by a commercial property. In
addition, we sold a one- to four-family property totaling $65,000, which previously was acquired in
a deed transfer. A total loss of $22,000 was recorded on these sales.
At June 30, 2003, foreclosed assets consisted of one loan to one borrower totaling $236,000,
secured by a one-to four family property, two loans to one borrower totaling $78,000 secured by a
one- to four-family property, and one loan to one borrower totaling $16,000 secured by a commercial
property. Subsequent to June 30, 2003, the commercial property was sold.
Another component of non-performing loans are loans past due 90 days or more and still
accruing interest. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest increased $453,000
during fiscal 2003 as compared to the level at June 30, 2002. Non-accruing loans at June 30, 2003,
36NEXT PAGE
totaled $33,000 compared to $272,000 at June 30, 2002, a decrease of $239,000. This decrease is
primarily the result of one loan totaling $236,000 classified as non-accrual at June 30, 2002, which
was classified as foreclosed assets at June 30, 2003.
We will continue to monitor the allowance for loan losses and make future additions to the
allowance through the provision for loan losses as economic conditions and loan portfolio quality
dictate. Although we maintain our allowance for loan losses at a level that we consider to be
adequate to provide for losses, there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated
amounts or that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods. In
addition, the determination as to the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by
the OTS and the FDIC as part of their examination process, which may result in the establishment
of an additional allowance based upon their judgment of the information available to them at the
time of their examination.
Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income for the year ended June 30, 2003, was $2.4
million, compared to $1.4 million in fiscal 2002 and $901,000 in fiscal 2001. This represents an
increase of $950,000 in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002 and an increase of $514,000 in fiscal
2002 compared to fiscal 2001. Total noninterest income consists primarily of net gains on the sales
of loans, net loan servicing fees, service charges on deposit accounts and other fees. The largest
component of noninterest income is net gain on sales of loans which increased $831,000 in fiscal
2003 compared to fiscal 2002 and increased $376,000 in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001.
Loan sales increased during fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, as the result of increased refinancing
activity. In fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, loan sales totaled $70.0 million, $36.8 million
and $18.7 million.
In addition to the increase in net gains on sales of loans held for sale, we experienced
increases in service charges on deposit accounts and Debit Card/ATM fees. Service charges on
deposit accounts increased $203,000 in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002 and increased $81,000
in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001. These increases are due to an increase in the fees assessed
on demand deposit overdraft items, as well as additional fees collected on increased deposits
associated with a branch purchase on March 15, 2002. Debit Card/ATM fees increased $70,000
during fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002 and increased $31,000 during fiscal 2002 compared to
fiscal 2001. We have experienced steady increases in Debit Card/ATM fees during the last three
fiscal years, due to increased debit card and ATM usage by our depositors. New during fiscal 2003
is commission income from our new investment program affiliated with LPL Financial, from which
we recorded income of $43,000 compared to no income during fiscal years 2002 and 2001.
Offsetting the above mentioned increases were decreases in net loan servicing fees of
$303,000 in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002 and $23,000 in fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001.
The decreases in net loan servicing fees were primarily the result of a mortgage servicing rights
valuation adjustment as well as continuing accelerated amortization of originated mortgage loan
servicing rights during the 2003 periods due to increased loan refinancing activity during the periods.
During fiscal 2003, we obtained a third party valuation of our originated mortgage servicing rights
and recorded a valuation adjustment of $70,000 or 8.5% of our total mortgage servicing rights
portfolio. This valuation adjustment, the first recorded by the Bank, was due to the current low
interest rate environment, which resulted in increased mortgage loan refinancing and lower expected
values of loan servicing rights.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense totaled $3.6 million in fiscal 2003, compared to
$3.1 million in fiscal 2002 and $2.4 million in fiscal 2001. Salaries and employee benefits, the
largest component of noninterest expense, increased $233,000 from fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2003,
representing an increase of 17.6%, and increased $245,000 from fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2002,
representing an increase of 22.7%. The most significant factor causing the increase in salaries and
employee benefits was the hiring of additional staff most of which were obtained as a result of the
branch purchase. Salaries and associated payroll taxes increased $233,000 from fiscal 2002 to fiscal
2003 and increased $172,000 from fiscal 2001 to 2002. We also experienced an increase in group
insurance costs of $11,000 during fiscal 2003 and an increase of $53,000 during fiscal 2002. As a
way to offset the growing cost of employee health insurance, we increased the employee cost
percentage effective October 1, 2002. For additional information relating to our stock-based
compensation plans, see Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained under
Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-KSB.
Noninterest expense also increased due to the amortization of intangible assets acquired from
the branch purchase. During fiscal year 2003, 2002 and 2001, we recorded $76,000, $104,000 and
$0 in intangible assets amortization, respectively. On July 1, 2003, we adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions".
As a result, the unidentifiable intangible asset recorded as part of our branch purchase has been
reclassified as goodwill. See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained
under Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-KSB for information regarding the impact intangible asset
amortization will have on future income.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased during fiscal 2003 by $77,000 as compared to
fiscal 2002 and increased $62,000 during fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001. These increases
are primarily the result of our decision to continue to use the purchased branch office as a branch
office of Marshall Savings. This facility provides us more options in our continuing evaluation of
facility uses in determining the best way to meet the needs of our customer base. Data processing
expense increased $64,000 during fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002 and decreased $2,000
during fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001. The increase during fiscal 2002 was primarily the
result of the branch office purchase and the increased number of customer accounts being serviced. The decrease during fiscal 2001 was primarily due to a change
in our billing due date for data processing charges during fiscal 2001 that resulted in an extra
monthly payment of $13,000 during the period.
We recorded real estate owned expense during fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001 of $87,000,
$7,000 and $21,000, respectively. Real estate owned expense varied due the previously mentioned
foreclosed asset activity.
Professional fees increased during fiscal 2003 by $35,000, as compared to fiscal 2002 and
increased $49,000 during fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001. The increase during fiscal 2003
was primarily due to the payment of fees for work related to our pending merger with Monarch
Community Bancorp. The increase during fiscal 2002 was the result of additional professional fee
expense totaling $25,000 related to the purchase of a branch office during fiscal 2002.
Other expense was also impacted by the fiscal 2002 branch purchase. Other expense decreased
during fiscal 2003 by $28,000 as compared to fiscal 2002 and increased $191,000 during fiscal 2002
38NEXT PAGE
as compared to fiscal 2001. These changes were primarily impacted by nonrecurring expense
charges of $106,000, recorded to other expense during fiscal 2002, related to the branch purchase.
Federal Income Tax Expense. Federal income tax expense for fiscal 2003 was $969,000
compared to $713,000 in fiscal 2002 and $772,000 in fiscal 2001. The effective tax rate for federal
income taxes was 34.8% in fiscal 2003, 32.9% in fiscal 2002 and 34.9% in fiscal 2001.
Asset/Liability Management
We, like other financial institutions, are subject to interest rate risk to the extent that our
interest-bearing liabilities with short- and intermediate-term maturities reprice more rapidly, or on
a different basis, than our interest-earning assets. Our balance sheet consists of investments in
interest-earning assets, primarily loans and securities, which are primarily funded by deposits and
borrowings. These financial instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in market
interest rates, resulting in market risk. Other than certain loans that are originated and held for sale,
all of our financial instruments are for other than trading purposes.
Senior management and the Board of Directors review our exposure to interest rate risk on
a quarterly basis. The interest rate risk is measured by computing estimated changes in net interest
income and the net portfolio value of cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet items
within a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. If estimated changes to net portfolio
value and net interest income are not within the limits established by the Board, the Board may direct
management to adjust our asset and liability mix to bring interest rate risk within Board approved
limits. The Board limits have been established with consideration of the dollar impact of various rate
changes and our strong capital position.
Net portfolio value represents the market value of equity and is equal to the market value of
assets minus the market value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance-sheet items. This
analysis assesses the risk of loss in market risk sensitive instruments in the event of a sudden and
sustained 100 to 300 basis point (100 basis points equals 1%) increase or decrease in market interest
rates. The following table sets forth the change in our net portfolio value at June 30, 2003 and June
30, 2002, based on internal assumptions, that would occur upon an immediate change in interest
rates, with no effect given to any steps that management might take to counteract that change.

39NEXT PAGE
As of June 30, 2003, we were in compliance with the Board limits regarding changes in our
net portfolio value under the above mentioned scenarios.
We continually work to achieve a relatively neutral position regarding interest rate risk. In
the current interest rate environment, our customers are interested in obtaining long-term credit
products and short-term savings products. We have taken action to offset this trend. In this regard,
we sell most fixed-rate, one- to four-family loans with a term to maturity of greater than 15 years,
retain adjustable-rate mortgage loans and have emphasized the origination of consumer loans with
relatively short maturities or periods to repricing. Fifteen year mortgage loans held in our portfolio
have been funded with seven-to-ten year amortizing FHLB advances at a positive spread. See Note
9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained under Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-KSB.
On the deposit side, we have worked to reduce the impact of interest rate changes by
emphasizing low interest rate deposit products and maintaining competitive pricing on longer-term
certificates of deposit.
As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the
analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may
have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in
market interest rates. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in
advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind
changes in market rates. Certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features which
restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the
event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of repayments on loans and early withdrawals from
certificates of deposit could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the above table.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest repayments on loans, sales
of loans, sales or maturities of securities available for sale, and FHLB advances. While scheduled
loan repayments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan prepayments are more
influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long term responsibility of management.
Investments in liquid assets are adjusted based upon our assessment of expected loan demand,
expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objective
of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquidity is invested generally in interest-earning
overnight deposits of the FHLB of Indianapolis or securities available for sale. We also use our
borrowing capability through the FHLB of Indianapolis to meet liquidity needs.
At June 30, 2003, we had advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis of $11.3 million, used
primarily to fund 15 year fixed-rate and adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential mortgage
loans held in our portfolio. We also use our liquidity resources to meet ongoing commitments, to
fund maturing certificates of deposit and deposit withdrawals, and to meet operating expenses. At
June 30, 2003, we had outstanding commitments to extend credit which amounted to $13.7 million
(including $6.0 million in available home equity lines of credit). We believe that loan repayments
40NEXT PAGE
and other sources of funds, such as FHLB advances, will be adequate to meet our foreseeable
liquidity needs.
Our primary operating activity in addition to the collection of interest on interest-earning
assets and the payment of interest on deposits and borrowings is the origination of loans for sale.
During the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, we originated loans for sale totaling $70.4
million, $36.2 million and $18.7 million, respectively, and received proceeds from the sale of such
loans of $70.0 million, $36.8 million and $18.7 million, respectively. See Note 5 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements contained under Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-KSB for
additional details of our secondary mortgage market activities.
Our primary financing activity is our deposits. For the year ended June 30, 2003 there was
a net decrease in deposit accounts of $1.5 million, due to withdrawals from deposit accounts in favor
of alternative investments offered by our new investments program. For the years ended June 30,
2002 and 2001 there was a net increase in deposit accounts of $19.7 million and $5.1 million,
respectively. The increase during the year ended June 30, 2002 was primarily attributed to the
branch purchase on March 15, 2002, which resulted in a $17.2 million increase in deposits.
Federally insured savings institutions are required to maintain a minimum level of regulatory
capital. The OTS has established capital standards, including a tangible capital requirement, a
leverage ratio (or core capital) requirement and a risk-based capital requirement applicable to such
savings associations. These capital requirements must be generally as stringent as the comparable
capital requirements for national banks. The OTS is also authorized to impose capital requirements
in excess of these standards on individual associations on a case-by-case basis.
As of June 30, 2003, Marshall Savings had tangible capital and Tier 1 (core) capital of $11.6
million, or 11.4% of adjusted total assets, which was approximately $10.1 million and $8.6 million
above the minimum requirements of 1.5% and 3.0%, respectively, of the adjusted total assets in
effect on that date. As of June 30, 2003, we had Tier 1 (core) capital of $11.6 million, or 11.4% of
adjusted total assets, which was approximately $7.5 million above the minimum requirement of 4.0%
of adjusted total assets in effect on that date. On June 30, 2003, we had risk-based capital of $12.2
million (including $11.6 in core capital), or 17.4% of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $6.6
million above the 8.0% minimum requirement in effect on that date. Our capital levels qualify
Marshall Savings as a well capitalized institution.
The parent company, MSB Financial, also has a need for sources of liquidity. Liquidity is
required to fund its operating expenses, its stock repurchase programs, and its payment of dividends
to shareholders. At June 30, 2003, we had $1.1 million in liquid assets on hand. MSB Financial's
primary source of liquidity on an ongoing basis is dividends from the Bank. Dividends totaling
$974,000 were paid from Marshall Savings to MSB Financial for the year ended June 30, 2003. For
the year ended June 30, 2003, we paid dividends to shareholders totaling $3.3 million and
repurchased 12,500 shares of common stock, at a total cost $162,500.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes presented contained under Part II, Item 7
of this Form 10-KSB have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and
operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative
purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the
increased cost of our operations. Nearly all of our assets and liabilities are financial in nature, unlike
most industrial companies. As a result, our performance is directly impacted by changes in interest
rates, which are indirectly influenced by inflationary expectations. Our ability to match the interest
sensitivity of our financial assets to the interest sensitivity of our financial liabilities in our
asset/liability management may tend to minimize the effect of changes in interest rates on our
performance. Changes in interest rates do not necessarily move to the same extent as do changes in
the price of goods and services.
Impact of New Accounting Standards
The FASB recently issued two new accounting standards, Statement 149, Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and Statement 150, Accounting
for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equities, both of which
generally become effective in the quarter beginning July 1, 2003. Because we do not have these
instruments, the new accounting standards will not materially affect our operating results or financial
condition.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MSB Financial, Inc. ("MSB Financial") and its wholly
owned subsidiary, Marshall Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the "Bank") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Marshall Services, Inc. (together referred to as "the Corporation"). MSB Financial was organized in
September 1994 for the purpose of owning all of the outstanding stock of the Bank. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The primary source of
income for the Corporation is the origination of residential real estate, commercial real estate and consumer loans in the Calhoun County, Michigan area through its three offices located in Marshall,
Michigan. Marshall and the surrounding communities serve as the source of substantially all of the Corporation's loan and deposit activities.
Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and
assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The
allowance for loan losses, the carrying value of mortgage servicing rights and intangible assets, and the fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.
Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, deposits with other financial institutions under 90 days, and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for loan
and deposit transactions.
Securities: Securities available for sale include those the Corporation may decide to sell due to changes in interest rates, prepayment risks, yield and availability of
alternative investments, liquidity needs, or other factors. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at their fair value and the related net unrealized holding gains or losses are
reported, net of related income tax effects, as other comprehensive income (loss) and as a separate component of shareholders' equity until realized. Securities are written down to fair value when a
decline in fair value is not temporary.
Securities for which management has the positive intent and the Corporation has the ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are
recognized in interest income using the interest method over the estimated life of the security.
Premiums and discounts on securities are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the estimated life of the security. Gains and losses on the sale of securities
are determined using the specific identification method based on amortized cost.
Mortgage Banking Activities: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are reported on the consolidated balance sheets as loans held for sale
and are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized in a valuation allowance by charges to income.

June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Loan servicing fees are recognized when received and the related costs are recognized when incurred. The Bank sells mortgages into the secondary market at market prices, which
includes consideration for normal servicing fees.
Mortgage Servicing Assets: Mortgage servicing assets represent the allocated value of retained servicing rights on loans sold. Servicing assets are expensed in proportion
to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is evaluated based on the fair value of the assets, using groupings of the underlying loans as to interest rates and then,
secondarily, as to geographic and prepayment characteristics. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash
flows using market-based assumptions. Any impairment of a grouping is reported as a valuation allowance.
Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net
of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market, on an aggregate basis.
Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Interest income on mortgage and commercial
loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past
due. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or
cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future
payments are reasonable assured.
Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and
decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific
borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any
loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged-off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is
impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the fair value of
collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for
impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.
Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at the lower of the recorded investment in the related loans or their fair
value when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed. Foreclosed real estate and real
estate held in redemption totaled $329,829 and $824,107 at June 30, 2003 and 2002, and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Premises and Equipment: The Corporation's premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the
straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 5 to 33 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 5 years.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense and improvements are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to assets retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from the
accounts and the gain or loss on disposition is credited or charged, respectively, to operations.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill results from prior business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired
tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Upon adopting new accounting guidance on July 1, 2002, the Corporation ceased amortizing goodwill. Goodwill is assessed at
least annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified. The effect on net income of ceasing goodwill amortization in fiscal 2003 was $172,000, net of
tax.
Other intangible assets consist of core deposit and acquired customer relationship intangible assets arising from whole bank and branch acquisitions. They are initially measured at
fair value and then are amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, which is 10 years.
Bank Owned Life Insurance: The Corporation has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at its cash surrender
value, or the amount that can be realized.
Long-term Assets: Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future
undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at discounted amounts.

Stock Compensation: Expense for employee compensation under stock option plans is based on Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion 25, with expense reported only if
options are granted below market price at grant date. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market
price of the underlying common stock at date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if expense was measured using the fair value recognition
provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

No options were granted during fiscal 2003, 2002 or 2001.
Income Taxes: The Corporation records income tax expense based on the amount of taxes due on its tax return plus deferred taxes computed based on the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates, adjusted for allowances made for uncertainty regarding the
realization of net tax assets.
Employee Benefits: The Corporation has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan and a defined contribution 401(k) plan, each covering substantially all employees. The
pension plan is funded through a multi-employer defined benefit plan, on the individual level premium method. The defined contribution plan is a multi-employer contributory profit sharing plan. The
amount of the Corporation's contribution is at the discretion of its Board of Directors and is limited to the amount deductible for federal income tax purposes.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Employee Stock Ownership Plan: The Corporation accounts for its employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 93-6. The cost of
shares issued to the ESOP, but not yet allocated to participants, are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a reduction of shareholders' equity. Compensation expense is recorded based on
the market price of the shares as they are committed to be released for allocation to participant accounts. The difference between the market price and the cost of shares committed to be released is
recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares are reflected as a
reduction of debt and accrued interest.
Federal Home Loan Bank System: The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System and is required to invest in capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB").
The amount of the required investment is based upon the balance of the Bank's outstanding home mortgage loans or advances from the FHLB and is carried at cost plus the value assigned to stock
dividends through the date of issue of the financial statements.
Preferred Stock: The Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized to issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series subject to applicable provisions of
law, and is authorized to fix the designations, powers, preferences and relative participating, optional and other special rights of such shares, including voting rights (which could be multiple or
as a separate class) and conversion rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof. In the event of a proposed merger, tender offer or other attempt to gain control of the
Corporation that the Board of Directors does not approve, it might be possible for the Board of Directors to authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock with rights and preferences that
would impede the completion of such a transaction. The Board of Directors has no present plans or understandings for the issuance of any preferred stock.
Concentrations of Credit Risk: The Corporation serves customers primarily in the Calhoun County, Michigan region. No significant number of its customers are employed at any
one specific entity or in one specific industry. The Corporation grants residential real estate, commercial and consumer loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral,
primarily real estate. Other financial instruments which potentially subject the Corporation to concentrations of credit risk include deposit accounts in other financial institutions.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk: The Corporation, in the normal course of business, makes commitments to make loans which are not reflected in the
financial statements. A summary of these commitments is disclosed in Note 15.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Stock Splits and Stock Dividends: Stock dividends in excess of 20% are reported by transferring the par value of the stock issued from retained earnings to common stock.
Stock dividends for 20% or less are reported by transferring the market value, as of the ex-dividend date, of the stock issued from retained earnings to common stock and additional paid-in capital.
Fractional share amounts are paid in cash with a reduction in retained earnings.
Earnings Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is based on the net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
ESOP shares are considered outstanding for earnings per common share calculations as they are committed to be released; unearned shares are not considered outstanding. Recognition and retention plan
("RRP") shares are considered outstanding for earnings per common share calculations as they become vested. Diluted earnings per common share shows the dilutive effect of additional potential common
shares issuable under stock options and nonvested shares issued under the RRP. Earnings and dividends per common share are restated for all stock splits and dividends.
Segments: The Corporation provides a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies in Calhoun County, Michigan. These services include accepting demand,
time and savings deposits; lending; and cash management. While the Corporation's chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of the various Corporation products and services, operations are
managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Corporation-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Corporation's banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable
operating segment.
Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes net unrealized holding
gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of taxes, which is recognized as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a
separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad
markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements: New accounting standards on asset retirement obligations, restructuring activities and exit costs, operating leases, and early extinguishment
of debt were issued in 2002. Management determined that when the new accounting standards were adopted in 2003 they did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial condition or results
of operations.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") recently issued two new accounting standards, Statement 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative and Hedging Activities, and
Statement 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equities, both of which generally become effective in the quarter beginning July 1, 2003.
Management determined that adopting Statements 149 and 150 will not materially affect the Corporation's operating results or financial condition because the Corporation does not currently have these
instruments or engage in these activities.
Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

NOTE 7 - GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
On October 30, 2001, the Bank entered into an agreement to acquire one Marshall, Michigan branch office facility and related deposits from TCF National Bank of Minneapolis,
Minnesota. This transaction resulted in total intangible assets totaling approximately $2.0 million, including both core deposit intangibles and goodwill. The core deposit intangibles are being
amortized into expense over a 10 year period using an accelerated amortization method. All intangible assets are deducted for tax purposes over a 15 year period using the straight line method.
Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment and was $1,451,210, net of accumulated amortization of $79,866 as of June 30, 2003.
The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the year is as follows:

NOTE 11 - DEFERRED DIRECTOR FEES
During the year ended June 30, 1996, deferred director fee plans were implemented for certain directors of the Corporation and the Bank. Under the plans, the Corporation/Bank is
obligated to pay each such individual or beneficiaries the amount of fees deferred plus interest credited thereon over a period of 15 years, beginning with the individual's termination of service. A
liability is being accrued for the obligation under these plans. The expense incurred for the deferred directors fees for the year ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $113,464, $104,553 and
$87,737 resulting in a deferred compensation liability of $629,673, $516,209 and $411,656 as of the end of these same periods. To informally fund the benefits that will be payable under these plans,
life insurance on the participants was purchased. The cash surrender value of such insurance at June 30, 2003 and 2002 was $2,345,743 and $2,238,502 and is included in other assets in the
consolidated balance sheets.
NOTE 12 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The Corporation has an ESOP for the benefit of substantially all employees. Contributions to the ESOP are made by the Corporation and are determined by the Corporation's Board of
Directors at their discretion. The contributions may be made in the form of cash or the Corporation's common stock. The annual contributions may not be greater than the amount deductible for federal
income tax purposes and cannot cause the Corporation to violate regulatory capital requirements.

NOTE 12 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS (Continued)
To fund the plan, the ESOP borrowed $577,610 from the Corporation for the purpose of purchasing 127,074 shares of stock at $4.55 per share. Principal and interest payments on the
loan are due in annual installments over a 10-year period beginning June 30, 1995. Principal is reduced in equal amounts over the term of the loan. Interest is payable during the term of the
loan at a fixed rate of 8.07% on the unpaid principal balance. The loan is collateralized by the unallocated shares of the Corporation's common stock purchased with the loan proceeds and will be
repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Corporation's contributions to the ESOP and earnings on ESOP assets. Dividends on unearned shares are used to reduce the accrued interest and principal amount
of the ESOP's loan payable to the Corporation.
Shares are allocated among participants each June 30 on the basis of principal and interest payments made by the ESOP on the loan from the Corporation, according to each
participant's relative compensation. ESOP participants are entitled to receive distributions from their ESOP accounts only upon termination of service.
During the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, contributions of $17,013, $59,010 and $60,356, respectively, were made to the ESOP. For the same respective periods, 10,552,
11,294 and 12,036 shares with an average fair value of $12.40, $11.43 and $8.71 per share were committed to be released, resulting in ESOP compensation expense of $130,861, $129,074 and $104,842,

A Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP"), as approved by the Corporation's shareholders, was authorized by the Board of Directors on October 24, 1995 for the benefit of directors,
officers and employees of the Corporation. The RRP is a restricted stock award plan administered by a Committee of the Directors of the Corporation. The Committee selects recipients and terms of
restricted stock awards. The total shares made available under the RRP was 63,536. The Committee awarded 4,000 shares (September 1999), 1,588 shares (November 1996) and 41,298 shares (October 1995)
of common stock under the RRP. During the year ended June 30, 2000, 318 shares were forfeited. As of June 30, 2003, a total of 46,568 shares were awarded under the RRP and 16,968 shares were reserved
for future awards. RRP awards vest in five equal annual installments, with the first award vesting on October 24, 1996, subject to the continuous employment of the recipients and the Corporation's
achievement of certain performance standards as defined under such plans. Compensation expense for the RRP is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the vesting period of the awards. During the years
ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, $8,150, $9,272 and $29,637, respectively, were charged to compensation expense for the RRP. The unamortized unearned compensation value of the RRP is shown as a

NOTE 13 - STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
On July 11, 2001, the Corporation announced a stock repurchase plan of 5% (62,229 shares) of its common stock over a twelve month period. As of the expiration date, July 11, 2002,
26,098 shares had been repurchased at an average price of $12.89. At June 30, 2003, there was no stock repurchase plan in place.
Repurchased shares are treated as treasury shares and are available for general corporate purposes, including issuance in connection with stock-based compensation plans. Any future
repurchased shares will affect the Corporation's future earnings per common share disclosures by reducing amounts available for investment and weighted-average shares outstanding.

NOTE 14 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED
EARNINGS (Continued)
Under Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations, limitations have been imposed on all "capital distributions" by savings institutions, including cash dividends. The
regulation establishes a three-tiered system of restrictions, with the greatest flexibility afforded to thrifts which are both well-capitalized and given favorable qualitative examination ratings by
the OTS. For example, a thrift which is given one of the two highest examination ratings and has "capital" equal to its fully phased-in regulatory capital requirements (a "tier 1 institution") could,
if a subsidiary of a holding company, after prior notice but without the prior approval of the OTS, make capital distributions in any year that do not exceed its net income for the calendar
year-to-date plus retained net income for the previous two calendar years (less any dividends previously paid), provided that the thrift remains adequately capitalized following the distribution.
Other thrifts would be subject to more stringent procedural and substantive requirements, the most restrictive being prior OTS approval of any capital distribution. The Bank is a tier one
institution.
The Bank established a liquidation account of $6,264,000 which is equal to its total net worth as of the date of the latest audited balance sheet appearing in the final conversion
prospectus for the Corporation's stock offering related to converting from a mutual to a stock ownership structure. The liquidation account is maintained for the benefit of eligible depositors who
continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after the conversion. The liquidation account is reduced annually to the extent that eligible depositors have reduced their qualifying deposits.
Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder's interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation, each eligible depositor will be entitled to receive a
distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then held. The Bank may not pay dividends that would reduce shareholders'
equity below the required liquidation account balance.
Under the most restrictive of the dividend limitations described above, at June 30, 2003 the Bank may not declare additional dividends to the holding company without obtaining the
prior approval of the OTS.

Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 60 days or less. The fixed rate loan commitments have interest rates ranging from 4.50% to 6.00% at June 30, 2003 (6.125% to 7.5% at June
30, 2002) and maturities ranging from 6 months to 30 years.
The Corporation does not anticipate any losses as a result of these commitments. In addition, commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is
no violation of any condition established in the contract. Collateral obtained upon exercise of the commitment is determined using the Corporation's credit evaluation of the borrower, and may include
business assets, real estate and other items. Since many commitments to make loans expire without being used, the amount does not necessarily represent future cash commitments.
The Corporation has entered into an employment agreement with one of its officers. Under the terms of the agreement, certain events, including a change in control, leading to
separation from the Corporation could result in a cash payment aggregating approximately $457,000.
The Corporation and its subsidiary are subject to certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with
legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Corporation.

NOTE 16 - RETIREMENT PLANS
The Corporation's pension plan is part of a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan. The benefits are based on each employee's years of service and on the average of the
highest five consecutive annual salaries prior to retirement. An employee becomes fully vested upon completion of five years of qualifying service. The plan is currently overfunded and does not
require an annual contribution. Specific plan asset and accumulated benefit information for the Corporation's portion of the Fund is not available. Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
("ERISA"), a contributor to a multi-employer pension plan may be liable in the event of complete or partial withdrawal for the benefit payments guaranteed under ERISA. The Corporation has no
intention to withdraw from the Fund.
The Corporation participates in a multi-employer contributory 401(k) plan, which covers substantially all employees. The amount of the Corporation's contribution is at the
discretion of the Corporation's Board of Directors and is limited to the amount deductible for federal income tax purposes. The Corporation is currently matching 50% of employees' contributions not
to exceed 3% of compensation. Contributions and expense for the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $26,000, $19,000 and $16,000, respectively.
NOTE 17 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Corporation and the Bank file a consolidated federal income tax return on a fiscal year basis. Tax legislation passed in August 1996 requires the Bank to deduct a provision for
bad debts for tax purposes based on actual loss experience rather than a percentage of taxable income as allowed prior to fiscal year 1997, and recapture the excess bad debt reserve accumulated in
tax years after 1987. The related amount of tax is approximately $123,000 and is payable over a six-year period beginning no later than the tax year ending June 30, 1999. For the tax years ending
June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, one-sixth or $20,500 of the tax was currently payable in those years. The remaining tax of $20,500 will be paid in the year ending June 30, 2004.
The consolidated federal income tax expense consisted of the following for the years ended June 30:

A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely than not that all or part of the benefits relating to such assets will not be realized.
Federal income tax laws provide savings banks with additional bad debt deductions through 1987, totaling $1,272,000 for the Bank. Accounting standards do not require a deferred tax
liability to be recorded on this amount, which liability otherwise would total $432,000 at June 30, 2003 and 2002. If the Bank were liquidated or otherwise ceases to be a bank or if tax laws
were to change, the $432,000 would be recorded as expense.
Management concluded that no valuation allowance was needed.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value for cash and cash equivalents, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, accrued interest receivable and payable, cash surrender value of
life insurance, noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW and money market deposits, and advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance.
Fair value of other financial instruments is estimated as follows:
Securities
Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar
instruments.

NOTE 18 - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
Loans held for sale and loans receivable, net
For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some residential mortgages and other consumer loans, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for such loans or
securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates at
which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. In addition, when computing the estimated fair value for loans receivable, the
allowance for loan losses is subtracted from the calculated fair value for consideration of credit risk issues.
Time deposits
The fair value of fixed-rate time certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting cash flows using the rates currently offered for time deposits of similar remaining
maturities.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances
The fair values for these advances are determined by discounting cash flows using rates currently offered for advances of similar terms and remaining maturities.
Commitments
The fair value of commitments to make loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and
the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The
fair value of unused lines of credit and letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations
with the counterparties at the reporting dates. The fair value of these commitments was immaterial at the reporting dates presented.

officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of MSB Financial equity
securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of
Common Stock and other equity securities of MSB Financial. Officers, directors and greater than
10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms
they file.
To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and
written representations that no other reports were required, all Section 16(a) filing requirements
applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10 percent beneficial owners were complied with
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003.
Item 10. Executive Compensation
Summary Compensation Table
The following table sets forth summary information concerning compensation awarded to,
earned by or paid to MSB Financial's chief executive officer for the last three fiscal years. No other
executive officer of MSB Financial earned a salary and bonus in excess of $100,000 for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2003. Mr. Cook received perquisites and other personal benefits in addition to
salary and bonus during the periods stated. The aggregate amount of these perquisites and other

Aggregated Option Exercises in Last Fiscal Year And FY-End Option/SAR Values Table
The following table summarizes certain information relating to the value of options held by
Mr. Cook at June 30, 2003. Value realized upon exercise is the difference between the fair market
value of the underlying stock on the exercise date and the exercise price of the option. The value of
an unexercised, in-the-money option at fiscal year-end is the difference between its exercise price
and the fair market value of the underlying stock on June 30, 2003, the last day of trading in fiscal
year 2003. The fair market value of MSB Financial common stock on June 30, 2003 was $14.89 per
share based on the closing price of the common stock as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
The value of unexercised options have not been, and may never be, realized since these options have
not been, and may not ever be, exercised. Actual gains, if any, on exercise will depend on the value
of MSB Financial common stock on the date of exercise. The exercise price of Mr. Cook's
unexercised options at June 30, 2003, exceeded the fair market value of the MSB Financial common
stock at that date. Mr. Cook was not granted any options to purchase shares of MSB Financial
common stock during fiscal 2003.

Employment Agreement
Mr. Cook has an employment agreement with the Bank. The agreement provides for an
annual base salary in an amount not less than the Mr. Cook's current salary and an initial term of
three years. By its terms, the agreement will expire on June 30, 2004. The agreement may also
terminate upon the employee's death, for cause, under certain events specified by Office of Thrift
Supervision regulations, or by Mr. Cook upon 90 days notice to us.
The employment agreement provides for payment to Mr. Cook of the greater of his salary for
the remainder of the term of the agreement, or 299% of his base compensation, in the event there is
a "change in control" of the Bank, as a result of which his employment terminates involuntarily in
82NEXT PAGE
connection with such change in control or within twelve months thereafter. This termination
payment is subject to reduction by the amount of all other compensation to the employee deemed
for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to be contingent on a "change in
control," and may not exceed three times the employee's average annual compensation over the most
recent five year period or be non-deductible by the Bank for federal income tax purposes. For the
purposes of the employment agreement, a "change in control" is defined as any event which would
require the filing of an application for acquisition of control or notice of change in control pursuant
to 12 C.F.R. § 574.3 or 574.4. Such events are generally triggered prior to the acquisition of control
of 10% of MSB Financial's common stock. The agreement also guarantees participation in an
equitable manner in employee benefits applicable to executive personnel.
Based on his current compensation, if Mr. Cook was terminated as of June 30, 2003, in
connection with a change in control, he would have been entitled to receive a lump sum cash
payment of approximately $457,000.
Director Compensation
The members of the boards of directors of MSB Financial and the Bank are identical. Mr.
Cook, the only MSB Financial and Bank director who also is an employee of both companies,
receives no additional compensation for his service as a director. The non-employee directors
received a $300 monthly retainer for service on the MSB Financial Board of Directors during fiscal
year 2003, plus $260 for each regular and $250 for each special MSB Financial board meeting
attended. During the same period, the non-employee directors received a $300 monthly retainer for
service on the board of directors of the Bank, plus $510 (except for the Chairman of the Board who
received $560) for each regular and $250 for each special Bank board meeting attended. The Bank
also paid each non-employee board member an additional $150 for each Bank board committee
meeting attended, except for attendance at Nominating Committee meetings for which no fees are
paid.
We have entered into deferred fee agreements with certain of our non-employee directors.
Under the deferred fee arrangements, each non-employee director may make an annual election to
defer receipt of all or a portion of his monthly director fees received from MSB Financial and the
Bank. The deferred amounts are allocated to a deferral account and credited with interest at the rate
equal to the rate on high grade long-term bonds. The deferred fee arrangements are unfunded, non-qualified agreements that provide for distribution of the amount deferred upon retirement, disability
or a change in control of MSB Financial (as those terms are defined in such agreements) to
participants or their designated beneficiaries. In addition, each participant is entitled to a death
benefit payment of approximately $31,000, payable monthly over 15 years to designated
beneficiaries. Life insurance on the plan participants has been purchased by us to fund the benefits
that will be payable under these plans.
J. Thomas Schaeffer, a director of MSB Financial and the Bank, is owner of Schaeffer Law
Offices and, previously, was a partner of another law firm, both of which acted as general counsel
to the Bank during Mr. Schaeffer's tenure. The legal fees received by each law firm for professional
services rendered to the Bank during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, did not exceed 5% of each
firm's gross revenues. Richard L. Dobbins, a director of MSB Financial and the Bank, is the owner
of Dobbins Law Offices, P.C., and, previously, was a partner of another law firm, both of which
83NEXT PAGE
acted, from time to time, as counsel to the Bank during Mr. Dobbin's tenure. The legal fees received
by the each firm from professional services rendered to the Bank during the fiscal year ended June
30, 2003 did not exceed 5% of each firm's gross revenues.
The Bank pays the premiums on a $15,000 face value life insurance policy on behalf of each
non-employee director. The premiums paid on such life insurance policy totaled $144 in the
aggregate for fiscal year 2003.

Stock Ownership of Significant Stockholders, Directors and Executive Officers
The following table sets forth, as of the record date of September 19, 2003, the
information regarding share ownership of:
- those persons or entities (or groups of affiliated person or entities) known by
management to beneficially own more than five percent of MSB Financial
common stock;
- each director and director nominee of MSB Financial;
- each executive officer of MSB Financial named in the "Summary Compensation
Table" appearing under Part III, Item 10 "Executive Compensation" above, and
- all current directors and executive officers of MSB Financial as a group.
The persons named in the table have sole voting power for all shares of common stock
shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws, where applicable,
and except as indicated in the footnotes to the table. The address of each of the beneficial
owners, except where otherwise indicated, is the same as the address of MSB Financial.
84NEXT PAGE
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a
person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to
outstanding options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after September
19, 2003, are included in the number of shares beneficially owned by the person and are deemed
outstanding for the purpose of calculating the person's percentage ownership. These shares,
however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of
any other person.

On September 2, 2003, Monarch Community Bancorp, Inc., Coldwater, Michigan, and
MSB Financial, Inc., Marshall, Michigan, jointly announced that they signed a definitive merger

Item 14. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the MSB Financial's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of June 30,
2003, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of MSB Financial's Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of MSB Financial's senior
management. MSB Financial's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that MSB Financial's disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect are effective in
ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by MSB Financial in the reports it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to MSB Financial's
management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely
manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC's rules and forms. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial
reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Act) that occurred during the year ended June
30, 2003, that has materially effected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, MSB
Financial's internal control over financial reporting.
MSB Financial intends to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of
its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and
to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior
management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning
MSB Financial's business. While MSB Financial believes the present design of its disclosure
controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may
cause MSB Financial to modify its disclosure controls and procedures.
