BUSINESS GENERAL MBT Financial Corp. (the "Corporation") operates as a bank holding company headquartered in Monroe, Michigan. The Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Michigan in January 2000, at the direction of the management of Monroe Bank & Trust (the "Bank"), for the purpose of becoming a bank holding company by acquiring all the outstanding shares of Monroe Bank & Trust. At the April 6, 2000 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Monroe Bank & Trust, shareholders approved a proposal that resulted in the Bank merging with Monroe Interim Bank, a state chartered bank, which was a subsidiary of the Corporation. On July 1, 2000, the merger of Monroe Bank & Trust and Monroe Interim Bank was completed, with Monroe Bank & Trust becoming the wholly owned subsidiary of MBT Financial Corp. Monroe Bank & Trust was incorporated and chartered as Monroe State Savings Bank under the laws of the State of Michigan in 1905. In 1940, Monroe Bank & Trust consolidated with Dansard Bank and moved to the present address of its main office. Monroe Bank & Trust operated as a unit bank until 1950 when it opened its first branch office in Ida, Michigan. It then continued its expansion to its present total of 25 branch offices, including its main office. Monroe Bank & Trust changed its name from "Monroe State Savings Bank" to "Monroe Bank & Trust" in 1968. Monroe Bank & Trust provides customary retail and commercial banking and trust services to its customers, including checking and savings accounts, time deposits, safe deposit facilities, commercial loans, personal loans, real estate mortgage loans, installment loans, IRAs, ATM and night depository facilities, treasury management services, telephone and internet banking, personal trust, employee benefit and investment management services. Monroe Bank & Trust's service areas are comprised of Monroe and Wayne counties in Southern Michigan. Monroe Bank & Trust's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") to applicable legal limits and Monroe Bank & Trust is supervised and regulated by the FDIC and Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Services Division of Financial Institutions. COMPETITION MBT Financial Corp., through its subsidiary, Monroe Bank & Trust, operates in a highly competitive industry. Monroe Bank & Trust's main competition comes from other commercial banks, national or state savings and loan institutions, securities brokers, mortgage bankers, finance companies and insurance companies. Banks generally compete with other financial institutions through the banking products and services offered, the pricing of services, the level of service provided, the convenience and availability of services, and the degree of expertise and personal manner in which these services are offered. Monroe Bank & Trust encounters strong competition from most of the financial institutions in Monroe Bank & Trust's extended market area. The Bank's primary market area is Monroe County, Michigan. According to the most recent market data, there are eight other deposit taking/lending institutions competing in the Bank's market. According to the most recent market data for deposits, the Bank ranks first in market share in Monroe County with 60.35% of the market. In 2001 the Bank began expanding into Wayne County, Michigan, and currently ranks eighteenth out of thirty-one institutions with a market share of 0.19%. For the combined Monroe and Wayne County market, the Bank ranks sixth of thirty-three institutions with a market share of 3.51%. 2 SUPERVISION AND REGULATION MBT Financial Corp., as a bank holding company, is regulated under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the BHC Act), and is subject to the supervision and examination of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve Board). The BHC Act requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board for a bank holding company to acquire or hold more than a 5% voting interest in any bank. The BHC Act allows interstate bank acquisitions anywhere in the country and interstate branching by acquisition and consolidation in those states that have not opted out by January 1, 1997. In addition, MBT Financial Corp. is generally prohibited by the BHC Act from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than five percent of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to its subsidiaries. MBT Financial Corp. may, however, subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board, engage in, or acquire shares of companies engaged in activities which are deemed by the Federal Reserve Board by order or by regulation to be so closely related to banking or managing and controlling a bank as to be a proper activity. On November 12, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "GLB Act") was enacted into law. The GLB Act made sweeping changes with respect to the permissible financial services which various types of financial institutions may now provide. The Glass-Steagall Act, which had generally prevented banks from affiliation with securities and insurance firms, was repealed. Pursuant to the GLB Act, bank holding companies may elect to become a "financial holding company," provided that all of the depository institution subsidiaries of the bank holding company are "well capitalized" and "well managed" under applicable regulatory standards. Under the GLB Act, a bank holding company that has elected to become a financial holding company may affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature. Activities that are "financial in nature" include securities underwriting, dealing and market-making, sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies, insurance underwriting and agency, merchant banking, and activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely related to banking. MBT Financial Corp. has not elected to become a financial holding company. MBT Financial Corp.'s banking subsidiary is subject to limitations with respect to transactions with affiliates. A substantial portion of the MBT Financial Corp.'s cash revenues is derived from dividends paid by its subsidiary bank. These dividends are subject to various legal and regulatory restrictions. MBT Financial Corp.'s banking subsidiary, Monroe Bank & Trust (the "Bank") is subject to primary supervision, regulation and examination by the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Services and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Federal regulators adopted risk-based capital guidelines and leverage standards for banks and bank holding companies. A discussion of the impact of risk-based capital guidelines and leverage standards is presented in Note 14 of the MBT Financial Corp. financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. The Financial Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) provides that a holding company's controlled insured depository institutions are liable for any loss incurred by the Federal 3 Deposit Insurance Corporation in connection with the default of any FDIC-assisted transaction involving an affiliated insured bank or savings association. Noncompliance with laws and regulations by financial holding companies and banks can lead to monetary penalties and/or an increased level of supervision or a combination of these two items. Management is not aware of any current instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations and does not anticipate any problems maintaining compliance on a prospective basis. Recent regulatory inspections and examinations of MBT Financial Corp. and the Bank have not disclosed any significant instances of noncompliance. The minor instances of noncompliance detected during these inspections and examinations were promptly corrected by management and no action was taken by the regulators against MBT Financial Corp. or the Bank. The earnings and growth of MBT Financial Corp. are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve Board. Its policies influence the amount of bank loans and deposits and the interest rates charged and paid thereon, and thus have an effect on earnings. The nature of future monetary policies and the effect of such policies on the future business and earnings of MBT Financial Corp. and its subsidiary bank cannot be predicted. EMPLOYEES MBT Financial Corp. has no employees other than its three officers, each of whom is also an employee and officer of Monroe Bank & Trust and who serve in their capacity as officers of MBT Financial Corp. without compensation. As of December 31, 2004, Monroe Bank & Trust had 384 full-time employees and 12 part-time employees. Monroe Bank & Trust provides a number of benefits for its full-time employees, including health and life insurance, workers' compensation, social security, paid vacations, numerous bank services, and a 401(k) plan.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain statements contained herein are not based on historical facts and are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements which are based on various assumptions (some of which are beyond the Corporation's control), may be identified by reference to a future period or periods, or by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "will," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "continue," or similar terms or variations on those terms, or the negative of these terms. Actual results could differ materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements, due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, those related to the economic environment, particularly in the market areas in which the company operates, competitive products and pricing, fiscal and monetary policies of the U.S. Government, changes in government regulations affecting financial institutions, including regulatory fees and capital requirements, changes in prevailing interest rates, acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses, credit risk management, asset/liability management, the financial and securities markets and the availability of and costs associated with sources of liquidity. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES - The Bank's Allowance for Loan Losses is a "critical accounting estimate" because it is an estimate that is based on assumptions that are highly uncertain, and if different assumptions were used or if any of the assumptions used were to change, there could be a material impact on the presentation of the Corporation's financial condition. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, collateral values and the effect of economic conditions on the financial condition of the borrowers. To determine the Allowance for Loan Losses, the Bank estimates losses on all loans that are not classified as substandard or doubtful by applying historical loss rates to those loans in accordance with SFAS 5. In addition, all loans that are classified as substandard or doubtful and any loans that are nonaccrual or renegotiated are individually tested for impairment. Any amount of monetary impairment is included in the Allowance for Loan Losses in accordance with SFAS 114. Substandard, doubtful, nonaccrual, or renegotiated loans that do not have any monetary impairment identified are assigned an allowance following the same method as unclassified loans. Management is of the opinion that the Allowance for Loan Losses of $13,800,000 as of December 31, 2004 was adequate. Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the lower of fair value or the loan carrying amount at the date of foreclosure. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by Management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Net Income increased 17.0% in 2004 to $22.6 million as the economy continued to gain strength and the Fed began to raise managed interest rates. Net Interest Income increased $2.4 million as the average earning assets increased $37.6 million and the net interest margin increased from 3.67% to 3.75%. During 2004, Net Loans increased $83.4 million, or 9.8%, and Deposits increased $61.6 million, or 5.9%. The Bank also increased its longer term Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and Repurchase Agreements while reducing its overnight federal funds borrowed. The most significant improvement in the earnings was due to the decrease of $5.5 million, or 68.9% in the Provision for Loan Losses. This decrease was due to the exceptionally large provision recorded in 2003. Non Interest Income decreased slightly in 2004 as securities gains and mortgage origination fees both declined as rates began to rise. Excluding these two items, non interest income increased $937,000, or 8% compared to 2003. Non Interest Expenses increased $2.4 million, or 8.1%, primarily due to increases in compensation and occupancy expenses related to the Bank's expansion efforts into the Downriver area of southern Wayne County. As a result of the above, Income Before the Provision for Income taxes increased $5.4 8 million, or 21.0%. The percentage of the Bank's income that is generated by tax exempt securities and Bank Owned Life Insurance decreased in 2004, causing the effective tax rate to increase from 25.5% in 2003 to 28.0%. The increase in Income Before taxes and the increase in the effective tax rate resulted in an increase of $2.2 million or 32.7% in the Provision for Income Taxes. Net Income increased $3.3 million, or 17% to $22.6 million. In 2003, the deterioration of some large credit relationships led to a $5.5 million addition to the Allowance for Loan Losses. This caused Net Income to decrease $2.5 million, or 11%, compared to 2002. Although average earning assets increased $44.2 million, the net interest margin decreased ten basis points. As a result, the net interest income increased only $90,000. Equity markets began to recover late in 2003, but the low market values for most of the year caused our income from trust services to decline $181,000, or 5%. We were able to increase our deposit account service charges in 2003. While remaining one of the lowest cost providers of deposit services in our market, our fee income increased by $787,000, or 17%. In 2003, we increased our investment in Bank Owned Life Insurance resulting in an increase of $508,000, or 64% in the earnings on these policies. Total non-interest income increased $1,012,000, or 8%. Non-interest expenses increased as we continued our expansion into the southern Wayne County market. During 2003 we opened two full service branches and we increased our total staffing from 375 to 389. These changes contributed to the increase of $3.2 million, or 12% in our non-interest expenses. Income before Provision for Income Taxes decreased $4.0 million, or 13% compared to 2002. The lower amount of income resulted in a decrease of $1.5 million, or 19% in our Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rate decreased from 27.1% in 2002 to 25.5% in 2003. Net Income decreased slightly in 2002 as we encountered continued low interest rates and a sluggish national and local economy. Net Income decreased $121,000, or less than 1%, compared to 2001. While Deposits and Total Assets each increased 1%, Net Loans decreased 2%. Commercial and industrial loans decreased 8% and loans to individuals for household, family, and other personal expenditures decreased 22% while real estate loans showed a slight increase of 3%. The decrease in loans was partially attributable to the transfer of $12.9 million of loans to other real estate and charge offs of $8.7 million, which enabled us to reduce our allowance for loan losses $600,000. Income before Provision for Income Taxes decreased $1.3 million, or 4%, compared to 2001. A larger percentage of our income was in interest on Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions in 2002, resulting in a decrease of $193,000, or 2% in our Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rate decreased from 27.5% in 2001 to 27.1% in 2002. Earnings for the Bank are usually highly reflective of the Net Interest Income. In 2004 the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve raised the fed funds rate for the first time since 2000 as the economy continued to grow. During the year, the fed funds target rate was increased five times, from 1.00% to 2.25%. In spite of these increases, rates on new and renewing loans were still below the average rates in the loan portfolio. As a result, the average yield on loans decreased from 6.73% to 6.30%. Investment yields did improve slightly and the cost of funds decreased, resulting in an increase in the net interest margin and net interest income. In 2003, rates remained low, with the Fed lowering the managed rates 25 basis points in June. This caused refinance activity to continue, and the Bank's yield on loans declined from 7.70% to 6.73%. Market rates also were low, and the investment yield dropped from 4.74% to 4.18% in 2003. During the year, the Bank restructured its portfolio of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, converting $95 million, or 42% of its portfolio, from fixed rate to floating rate. This lowered the cost of these borrowings from 5.72% in 2001 and 2002 to 5.05% in 2003. In 2002, market interest rates remained at historically low levels, prompting many borrowers to refinance their existing debt. The low interest rate environment also resulted in an increase in the amount of investment securities called. These factors lead to a decrease in the yield on earning assets from 7.4% in 2001 to 6.2% in 2002. Total Interest Income decreased $16.7 million while Total Interest Expense decreased only $15.1 9 million, resulting in a decrease of $1.6 million in Net Interest Income. The Provision for Loan Losses decreased $1.3 million after a large increase in 2001. Other Income increased $2.1 million as service charges on deposit accounts increased due to an overdraft program started late in 2001 and gains on the sales of investment securities also increased. Non-interest expenses increased 9% compared to 2001. Salaries and Employee Benefits increased 9% as the Bank continued to add staff, particularly in the loan, credit analysis, and loan review areas. This additional staff will allow the Bank to provide better customer service to existing customers, resume the growth in the loan portfolio, and improve the monitoring of existing credit relationships. The average cost of interest bearing deposits was 1.65%, 1.74%, and 2.41% for 2004, 2003, and 2002 respectively. The table below shows selected financial ratios for the same three years.

(1) Interest income on Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions is not on a taxable equivalent basis. (2) Total Loans excludes Overdraft Loans, which are non-interest earning. These loans are included in Other Assets. Total Loans includes nonaccrual loans. When a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, all accrued and unpaid interest is charged against interest income. Loans on nonaccrual status do not earn any interest. 11 The following table summarizes the changes in interest income and interest expense attributable to changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for the period indicated:

Due to a variety of reasons, including volatile interest rates in the past and successful bidding in securing local municipal deposits, we have attempted, for the last several years, to maintain a liquid investment position. The percentage of securities held as Available for Sale increased from 80% as of December 31, 2003 to 83% as of December 31, 2004. As reflected in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the percentage of securities that mature within five years was 12% as of December 31, 2004 and 13% as of December 31, 2003. The table below presents the scheduled maturities for each of the investment categories, and the average yield on the amounts maturing. The yields presented for the Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions are not tax equivalent yields. The interest income on these securities is exempt from federal income tax. The Corporation's statutory federal income tax rate is thirty-five percent.

12 Our loan policies also reflect our awareness of the need for liquidity. We have shortened the average terms for most of our loan portfolios, in particular real estate mortgages, the majority of which are normally written for five years or less. The following table shows the maturities or repricing opportunities (whichever is earlier) for the Bank's interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities at December 31, 2004. The repricing assumptions shown are consistent with those established by the Bank's Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO). Savings accounts and regular NOW accounts are non-maturing, variable rate deposits, which may reprice as often as daily, but are not included in the zero to six month category because in actual practice, these deposits are only repriced if there is a large change in market interest rates. The effect of including these accounts in the zero to six-month category is depicted in a subsequent table. Super NOW accounts and Money Market deposits are also non-maturing, variable rate deposits, however, these accounts are included in the zero to six-month category because they may get repriced following smaller changes in market rates.

For 2005, we expect the FOMC to continue to increase short term managed rates through the first half of the year as the economic growth and potential for inflation will allow the Fed to gradually move the fed funds rate from an accommodative level to a neutral level. Since the fed began removing accommodation in the second half of 2004, longer term market rates have decreased. This flattening of the yield curve presents a challenge for us, as the yields on our fixed rate assets are influenced by the longer term market rates while the cost of many of our liabilities is influenced by shorter term rates. This condition will make it difficult for us to increase our net interest margin, and if it persists, we may experience a decrease in our margin. Recovery in our region, which lags behind other areas due to the connection to the automotive industry, is slowly gaining strength. We expect local loan demand comparable to that which we experienced in 2004, with total loans increasing between five and ten percent. We opened a new full service branch and regional center in Wyandotte, Michigan in 2004. This is our fourth branch in southern Wayne County, a market which is expected to contribute to our projected increases in loans and deposits in 2005. This growth is expected to produce an increase in Net Interest Income. We believe that our Allowance for Loan Losses provides adequate coverage for the losses in our portfolio, and we expect that we will be able to maintain the adequacy of the allowance without a significant increase in the Provision for Loan Losses. We anticipate that slower mortgage refinance activity and less gains on the sales of investment securities will result in a small increase in non-interest income. Expenses related to our additional offices and staffing increases will cause non-interest expenses to increase. Primarily due to the anticipated increase in Net Interest Income, we expect Net Income to increase slightly in 2005. 14 The following table shows the loan portfolio for the last five years.

Each period the provision for loan losses in the income statement results from the combination of an estimate by Management of loan losses that occurred during the current period and the ongoing adjustment of prior estimates of losses. To serve as a basis for making this provision, the Bank maintains an extensive credit risk monitoring process that considers several factors including: current economic conditions affecting the Bank's customers, the payment performance of individual loans and pools of homogeneous loans, portfolio seasoning, changes in collateral values, and detailed reviews of specific loan relationships. For loans deemed to be impaired due to an expectation that all contractual payments will probably not be received, impairment is measured by comparing the Bank's recorded investment in the loan to the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral, or the loan's observable market price. Year-end nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans, loans ninety days or more past due, renegotiated debt, nonaccrual securities, and other real estate owned, decreased $7.8 million, or 20% from 2003 to 2004. Nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets at year-end decreased from 3.3% in 2003 to 2.6% in 2004. The Allowance for Loan Losses as a percent of nonperforming assets at year-end increased from 30.4% in 2003 to 34.5% in 2004. The provision for loan losses increases the allowance for loan losses, a valuation account which appears on the consolidated statements of condition. As the specific customer and amount of a loan loss is confirmed by gathering additional information, taking collateral in full or partial settlement of the loan, bankruptcy of the borrower, etc., the loan is charged off, reducing the allowance for loan losses. If, subsequent to a charge off, the Bank is able to collect additional amounts from the customer or sell collateral worth more than earlier estimated, a recovery is recorded.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Bank faces market risk to the extent that the fair values of its financial instruments are affected by changes in interest rates. The Bank does not face market risk due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices. The asset and liability management process of the Bank seeks to monitor and manage the amount of interest rate risk. This is accomplished by analyzing the differences in repricing opportunities for assets and 16 liabilities (gap analysis, as shown in Item 7), by simulating operating results under varying interest rate scenarios, and by estimating the change in the net present value of the Bank's assets and liabilities due to interest rate changes. Each month, the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO), which includes the senior management of the Bank, estimates the effect of interest rate changes on the projected net interest income of the Bank. The sensitivity of the Bank's net interest income to changes in interest rates is measured by using a computer based simulation model to estimate the impact on earnings of a gradual increase or decrease of 100 basis points in the prime rate. The net interest income projections are compared to a base case projection, which assumes no changes in interest rates. The table below summarizes the net interest income sensitivity as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.
Base Rates Rates (Dollars in Thousands) Projection Up 1% Down 1% ---------------------- ---------- -------- ------- Year-End 2004 12 Month Projection Interest Income $86,596 $89,810 $83,098 Interest Expense 33,813 36,269 31,589 ------- ------- ------- Net Interest Income $52,783 $53,541 $51,509 Percent Change From Base Projection 1.4% -2.4% ALCO Policy Limit (+/-) 5.0% 5.0%
Base Rates Rates (Dollars in Thousands) Projection Up 1% Down 1% ---------------------- ---------- -------- ------- Year-End 2003 12 Month Projection Interest Income $73,037 $76,410 $70,860 Interest Expense 26,907 31,027 24,558 ------- ------- ------- Net Interest Income $46,130 $45,383 $46,302 Percent Change From Base Projection -1.6% 0.4% ALCO Policy Limit (+/-) 5.0% 5.0%
The Bank's ALCO has established limits in the acceptable amount of interest rate risk, as measured by the change in the Bank's projected net interest income, in its policy. Throughout 2004, the estimated variability of the net interest income was within the Bank's established policy limits. The ALCO also monitors interest rate risk by estimating the effect of changes in interest rates on the economic value of the Bank's equity each month. The actual economic value of the Bank's equity is first determined by subtracting the fair value of the Bank's liabilities from the fair value of the Bank's assets. The fair values are determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Bank estimates the interest rate risk by calculating the effect of market interest rate shocks on the economic value of its equity. For this analysis, the Bank assumes immediate increases or decreases of 100 and 200 basis points in the prime lending rate. The discount rates used to determine the present values of the loans and deposits, as well as the prepayment rates for the loans, are based on Management's expectations of the effect of the rate shock on the market for loans and deposits. The table below summarizes the amount of interest rate risk to the fair value of the Bank's assets and liabilities and to the economic value of the Bank's equity. 17

The Bank's ALCO has established limits in the acceptable amount of interest rate risk, as measured by the change in economic value of the Bank's equity, in its policy. Throughout 2004, the estimated variability of the economic value of equity was within the Bank's established policy limits. ITEM 8.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. 23 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MBT Financial Corp. (the "Corporation") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Monroe Bank & Trust (the "Bank"). The Bank includes the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, MBT Credit Company, Inc. and MB&T Financial Services, Inc. The Bank operates twenty-one offices in Monroe County, Michigan and four offices in Wayne County, Michigan. MBT Credit Company, Inc. operates a mortgage loan office in Monroe County. The Bank's primary source of revenue is from providing loans to customers, who are predominantly small and middle-market businesses and middle-income individuals. The Corporation's sole business segment is community banking. The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank conform to practice within the banking industry and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term are the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of other real estate owned. The significant accounting policies are as follows: PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiary. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Most of the Corporation's activities are with customers located within southeast Michigan. Notes 3 and 4 discuss the types of securities and lending that the Corporation engages in. The Corporation does not have any significant concentrations in any one industry or to any one customer. INVESTMENT SECURITIES Investment securities that are "held to maturity" are stated at cost, and adjusted for accumulated amortization of premium and accretion of discount. The Bank has the intention and, in Management's opinion, the ability to hold these investment securities until maturity. Investment securities that are "available for sale" are stated at estimated market value, with the related unrealized gains and losses reported as an amount, net of taxes, as a separate component of stockholders' equity. The market value of securities is based on quoted market prices. For securities that do not have readily available market values, estimated market values are calculated based on the market values of comparable securities. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of the security. LOANS The Bank grants mortgage, commercial, and consumer loans to customers. Loans are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, adjusted for charge offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well secured and in the process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these 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 reasonably assured. LOANS HELD FOR SALE Loans held for sale consist of fixed rate residential mortgage loans with maturities of 15 to 30 years. Such loans are recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value. 24 ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful or substandard. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience, adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Corporation does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures. FORECLOSED ASSETS (INCLUDES OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED) Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the lower of fair value or the loan carrying amount at the date of the foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by Management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets. BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation of $25,427,000 in 2004 and $22,903,000 in 2003. The Bank uses the straight-line method to provide for depreciation, which is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expense amounted to $2,817,000 in 2004, $2,471,000 in 2003, and $2,102,000 in 2002. The cost of assets retired and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in operations in the year the assets are retired. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Accounting principles generally require that revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, however, such as unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and related tax effects are as follows:
Dollars in thousands 2004 2003 ---------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------- Unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale $ (164) $(1,285) Tax effect 57 450 ------- ------- Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) $ (107) $ (835) ======= =======
25 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and Cash Equivalents include cash and due from banks and Federal funds sold. Generally, cash equivalents have daily maturities. INCOME TAXES Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the various temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company applies the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," for all employee stock option grants and has elected to disclose pro forma net income and earnings per share amounts as if the fair-value based method has been applied in measuring compensation costs. The Company's as reported and pro forma information for the years ended December 31:
Dollars in thousands, except per share data 2004 2003 2002 ------------------------------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net Income as Reported $ 22,599 $ 19,315 $ 21,804 Pro Forma Adjustment Due to Stock Options (403) (258) (350) ---------- ---------- ---------- Pro Forma Net Income $ 22,196 $ 19,057 $ 21,454 ========== ========== ========== Earnings per Share as Reported Basic $ 1.30 $ 1.02 $ 1.12 Diluted $ 1.29 $ 1.01 $ 1.12 Pro Forma Earnings per Share Basic $ 1.27 $ 1.00 $ 1.10 Diluted $ 1.27 $ 1.00 $ 1.10
Compensation expense in the pro forma disclosures is not indicative of future amounts, as options vest over several years and additional grants are generally made each year. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $3.84, $3.04 and $3.19 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants in 2004, 2003 and 2002: expected option lives of seven years for all three; expected volatility of 25.3%, 23.9% and 23.9%, risk-free interest rates of 3.8%, 4.6% and 4.6%, and dividend yield of 2.0%, 3.0% and 3.0%, respectively. OFF BALANCE SHEET INSTRUMENTS In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, (FIN 45) "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," which elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor about its obligations under certain guarantees issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this Interpretation have been applied on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. However, the value of such guarantees is immaterial and the adoption of this Standard did not have a material effect on the Corporation's financial statements. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004), "Share Based Payment," which revises SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," and supersedes APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." This Statement requires an entity to recognize the cost of employee services received in share based payment transaction and measure the cost on a grant date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. The provisions of SFAS 123 (revised 2004) will be effective for the Company's financial statements issued for periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company plans to adopt the modified prospective application of SFAS 123 (revised 2004) in the third quarter of 2005. The anticipated impact on net income is not expected to be material. In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) in Issue 03-1, "The Meaning of Other Than Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments" (EITF 03-1). EITF 03-1 provides guidance for determining when an investment is considered impaired, whether impairment is other than temporary, and measurement of an impairment loss. In September 2004, the FASB issued FSP 03-1-1, which delayed the effective date for the measurement and recognition guidance contained in paragraphs 10-20 of Issue 03-1 due to additional proposed guidance. The disclosure required by EITF 03-1 is in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 26 In March 2004, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 105, "Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments" (SAB 105). This bulletin was issued to inform registrants of the SEC's view that the fair value of the recorded loan commitments, which are required to follow derivative accounting under FAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," should not consider the expected future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the future loan. The provisions of SAB 105 must be applied to loan commitments accounted for as derivative that are entered into after March 31, 2004. The adoption of this Staff Accounting Bulletin in the second quarter of 2004 did not have a material impact on MBT Financial Corp. (2) CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS The Bank is required by regulatory agencies to maintain legal reserve requirements based on the level of balances in deposit categories. Cash balances restricted from usage due to these requirements were $1,954,000 and $1,532,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Cash and due from banks includes deposits held at correspondent banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

The investment securities portfolio is evaluated for impairment throughout the year. Impairment is recorded against individual securities, unless the decrease in fair value is attributable to interest rates and management determines that the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in the market value. The fair values of investments with an amortized cost in excess of their fair values at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 are as follows:

Investment securities carried at $322,959,000 and $307,005,000 were pledged or set aside to secure borrowings, public and trust deposits, and for other purposes required by law at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. At December 31, 2004, Obligations of U. S. Government Agencies included securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank with an estimated market value of $160,741,000. At December 31, 2003, Obligations of U. S. Government Agencies included securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank with an estimated market value of $166,937,000. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, proceeds from sales of securities amounted to $73,520,000, $176,905,000 and $52,621,000, respectively. Gross realized gains amounted to $1,174,000, $1,046,000 and $1,325,000, respectively. Gross realized losses amounted to $607,000, $5,000 and $0, respectively. The tax provision applicable to these net realized gains and losses amounted to $179,000, $364,000 and $464,000, respectively. 28 (4) LOANS Loan balances outstanding as of December 31 consist of the following (000s omitted): 2004 2003 -------- -------- Real estate loans $774,670 $695,677 Loans to finance agricultural production and other loans to farmers 2,333 2,263 Commercial and industrial loans 88,035 93,444 Loans to individuals for household, family, and other personal expenditures 81,119 72,972 All other loans (including overdrafts) 1,297 1,228 -------- -------- Total loans, gross $947,454 $865,584 Less: Deferred loan fees 1,573 1,734 -------- -------- Total loans, net of deferred loan fees $945,881 $863,850 Less: Allowance for loan losses 13,800 14,500 -------- -------- $932,081 $849,350 ======== ======== The following is a summary of impaired loans (000s omitted):

Included in Loans are loans to certain officers, directors, and companies in which such officers and directors have 10 percent or more beneficial ownership in the aggregate amount of $19,295,000 and $17,451,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In 2004, new loans and other additions amounted to $25,605,000, and repayments and other reductions amounted to $23,761,000. In Management's judgment, these loans were made on substantially the same terms and conditions as those made to other borrowers, and do not represent more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. Loans carried at $181,412,000 and $182,003,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, were pledged to secure Federal Home Loan Bank advances. (5) ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Activity in the allowance for loan losses was as follows (000s omitted):
2004 2003 2002 -------- -------- -------- Balance beginning of year $ 14,500 $ 12,400 $ 13,000 Provision for loan losses 2,491 8,005 6,101 Loans charged off (4,447) (6,683) (8,697) Recoveries 1,256 778 1,996 -------- -------- -------- Balance end of year $ 13,800 $ 14,500 $ 12,400 ======== ======== ========
Each period the provision for loan losses in the income statement results from the combination of an estimate by Management of loan losses that occurred during the current period and the ongoing adjustment of prior estimates of losses occurring in prior periods. To serve as a basis for making this provision, the Bank maintains an extensive credit risk monitoring process that considers several factors including: current economic conditions affecting the Bank's customers, the payment performance of individual loans and pools of homogeneous loans, portfolio seasoning, changes in collateral values, and detailed reviews of specific loan relationships. For loans deemed to be impaired due to an expectation that all contractual payments will probably not be received, impairment is measured by comparing the Bank's recorded investment in the loan to the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral, or the loan's observable market price. The provision for loan losses increases the allowance for loan losses, a valuation account which appears on the consolidated balance sheets. As the specific customer and amount of a loan loss is confirmed by gathering additional information, taking collateral in full or partial settlement of the loan, bankruptcy of the borrower, etc., the loan is charged off, reducing the allowance for loan losses. If, subsequent to a charge off, the Bank is able to collect additional amounts from the customer or sell collateral worth more than earlier estimated, a recovery is recorded. 29 (6) BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Bank premises and equipment as of year end are as follows (000s omitted):
2004 2003 ------- ------- Land, buildings and improvements $27,909 $22,725 Equipment, furniture and fixtures 19,688 18,202 ------- ------- Total Bank premises and equipment $47,597 $40,927 Less accumulated depreciation 25,427 22,903 ------- ------- Bank premises and equipment, net $22,170 $18,024 ======= =======
The Corporation has entered into lease commitments for office locations. Rental expense charged to operations was $311,000, $205,000, and $148,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The future minimum lease payments are as follows:
Minimum Year Payment ---------- -------- 2005 $227,000 2006 126,000 2007 128,000 2008 126,000 2009 78,000 Thereafter 228,000
(7) INTEREST RECEIVABLE AND OTHER ASSETS The Bank includes the cash surrender value of Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) in Interest Receivable and Other Assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The cash surrender value of the BOLI was $35,152,000 at December 31, 2004 and $33,780,000 at December 31, 2003. The following is a description of the components of the BOLI: DIRECTOR SPLIT-DOLLAR LIFE INSURANCE On December 21, 2000, the Bank entered into director split-dollar life insurance agreements with each of its ten directors. Under the split-dollar agreement, the policy's interests are divided between the Bank and the director. The Bank owns the cash surrender value, including the accumulated policy earnings, with each director's beneficiaries receiving a fixed amount that is based on his or her years of director service and the Bank receiving the remainder of the death benefits. The directors' death benefits are $500,000 for director service of less than 3 years, $600,000 for service up to 5 years, $750,000 for service up to 10 years, and $1,000,000 for director service of 10 years or more. In 2000, the Bank fully paid the premiums for these ten policies with one lump sum premium payment in the amount of $4,937,000. In 2003, the Bank paid additional premiums of $3,661,000 to increase the coverage for each director to an amount sufficient to provide the maximum split-dollar benefit that could be attained. The increase in cash surrender value is recorded as other non-interest income. The Bank expects to recover in full the cash value from the Bank's portion of the policies' death benefits. SALARY CONTINUATION AGREEMENT AND LIFE INSURANCE POLICY The Bank entered into a Salary Continuation Agreement with Ronald D. LaBeau, then Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank on December 27, 2000. This agreement provides that the Bank will pay an annual salary continuation benefit of $139,600 to Mr. LaBeau or his designated beneficiaries for 10 years after his retirement on or after reaching the normal retirement age of 65. On April 2, 2004, Mr. LaBeau retired prior to reaching normal retirement age of 65. In accordance with the agreement, he is eligible for an annual salary continuation benefit of $57,996 each year for ten years, commencing in 2009. At the same time it entered into the Salary Continuation Agreement with Mr. LaBeau, the Bank purchased an insurance policy on Mr. LaBeau's life, with a single premium payment of $5,880,000. While Mr. LaBeau's beneficiaries will receive any payments to which he is entitled under the Salary Continuation Agreement, they are not eligible for any of the life insurance proceeds of this policy. The life insurance policy is in addition to the split-dollar insurance policy purchased by the Bank on Mr. LaBeau's life for his service as a director, discussed previously, and the split-dollar insurance policy discussed in "Executive Group Term Carve Out Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements" below. The Bank entered into a Salary Continuation Agreement with H. Douglas Chaffin, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank on July 1, 2003. This agreement provides that the Bank will pay an annual salary continuation benefit of 65% of his final annual salary, reduced by 50% of his Social Security benefit, his normal pension benefit, and benefits payable attributable to the portion of the Bank's Section 401(k) plan arising from employer contributions, to Mr. Chaffin or his designated beneficiaries for 10 years after his retirement on or after reaching the normal retirement age of 65. 30 EXECUTIVE GROUP TERM CARVE OUT SPLIT-DOLLAR LIFE INSURANCE AGREEMENTS In addition to insurance policies on the lives of the directors of the Bank, the Bank owns life insurance on the lives of several executives, for which the Bank made premium payments of $16,242,000 in the aggregate. The Bank and the executives share rights to death benefits payable under the policies. An executive's beneficiaries are entitled to an amount equal to two times the executive's current annual salary, less $50,000 if he or she dies before retirement, or equal to his or her annual salary at the time of termination of employment if he or she dies after retirement. The Bank will receive the remainder of the death benefits. The Bank expects to recover in full the premium paid by it from the Bank's portion of the policy's death benefits or upon the cancellation or purchase of the policies by the executives. The executives also have life insurance under the Bank's group term life insurance program for all employees, which pays benefits up to $50,000 to the executive's beneficiaries if he or she dies while employed by the Bank. (8) DEPOSITS Interest expense on time certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more in the year 2004 amounted to $3,970,000, as compared with $3,066,000 in 2003, and $3,998,000 in 2002. At December 31, 2004, the balance of time certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more was $184,657,000, as compared with $115,654,000 at December 31, 2003. The amount of time deposits with a remaining term of more than 1 year was $246,802,000 at December 31, 2004 and $183,060,000 at December 31, 2003.

(9) FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES As of December 31, 2004 the Bank had fourteen loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis totaling $256,500,000. Five of these advances, with balances totaling $130,000,000 carry fixed rates of interest and contain a put option that allows the FHLB to require repayment or conversion to a variable rate advance each quarter. The average rate on the advances is 5.42%, and no principal payments are required until the final maturities in 2009 and 2010. If converted by the FHLB, the interest rates would float quarterly at rates ranging from 3 month LIBOR to 3 month LIBOR plus .02%. One of the advances has a fixed interest rate of 5.08%, matures in 2011, and does not contain a put option. The remaining eight advances, totaling $123,000,000, are floating rate loans that float quarterly at rates ranging from 3 month LIBOR plus 2.06% to 3 month LIBOR plus 2.30%. These advances are non-putable and no principal payments are required until the final maturities in 2014. As of December 31, 2003, the Bank had ten loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis totaling $225,000,000. Five of these advances, with balances totaling $130,000,000 carried fixed rates of interest and contained a put option that allowed the FHLB to require repayment or conversion to a variable rate advance each quarter. The average rate on the advances was 5.42%, and no principal payments were required until the final maturities in 2009 and 2010. If converted by the FHLB, the interest rates would float quarterly at rates ranging from 3 month LIBOR to 3 month LIBOR plus .02%. The remaining five advances, totaling $95,000,000, were floating rate loans that floated quarterly at rates ranging from 3 month LIBOR plus 2.06% to 3 month LIBOR plus 2.30%. These advances were non-putable and no principal payments are required until the final maturities in 2013. The Bank also has repurchase agreements with brokerage firms that are in the possession of the underlying securities. The securities are returned to the Bank at the maturity of the agreements. As of December 31, 2004 the 31 Bank had five repurchase agreements totaling $30,000,000. This includes $20,000,000 of fixed rate agreements at rates ranging from 2.14% to 4.05%, with $5,000,000 maturing in each year from 2005 to 2008. There is also one agreement for $10,000,000 at a rate of 2.57% with a final maturity of 2011 that contains a put option that can be exercised by the issuer each quarter, beginning in December 2005. (10) RETIREMENT PLANS In 2000, the Bank implemented a retirement plan that included both a money purchase pension plan, as well as a voluntary profit sharing 401(k) plan for all employees who meet certain age and length of service eligibility requirements. In 2002, the Bank amended its retirement plan to freeze the money purchase plan and retain the 401(k) plan. To ensure that the plan meets the Safe Harbor provisions of the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, the Bank contributes an amount equal to four percent of the employee's base salary to the 401(k) plan for all eligible employees. In addition, an employee may contribute from 1 to 75 percent of his or her base salary, up to a maximum of $13,000 in 2004. This annual contribution limit increases by $1,000 each year until it reaches $15,000 in 2006. The Bank matches the employee's elective contribution up to the first six percent of the employee's annual base salary. Depending on the Bank's profitability, an additional profit sharing contribution may be made by the Bank to the 401(k) plan. The total retirement plan expense was $911,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, $1,012,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003, and $915,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. This included profit sharing contributions of three percent in 2004, two percent in 2003, and three percent in 2002. The Bank has a postretirement benefit plan that generally provides for the continuation of medical benefits for all employees who retire from the Bank at age 55 or older, upon meeting certain length of service eligibility requirements. The Bank does not fund its postretirement benefit obligation. Rather, payments are made as costs are incurred by covered retirees. The amount of benefits paid under the postretirement benefit plan was $101,000 in 2004, $95,000 in 2003, and $84,000 in 2002. The amount of insurance premium paid by the Bank for retirees is capped at 200% of the cost of the premium as of December 31, 1992. A reconciliation of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation ("APBO") to the amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets in Interest Payable and Other Liabilities at December 31 is as follows (000s omitted):
2004 2003 ------- ------- APBO $ 1,811 $ 2,033 Unrecognized net transition obligation (429) (482) Unrecognized prior service costs (36) (40) Unrecognized net gain (159) (164) ------- ------- Liability recorded in the consolidated statements of condition $ 1,187 $ 1,347 ======= =======
The changes recorded in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation were as follows (000s omitted):
2004 2003 ------- ------- APBO at beginning of year $ 2,033 $ 1,757 Service cost 79 69 Interest cost 123 114 Actuarial loss (323) 188 Benefits paid during year (101) (95) ------- ------- APBO at end of year $ 1,811 $ 2,033 ======= =======
Components of the Bank's postretirement benefit expense were as follows:
2004 2003 2002 ----- ----- ----- Service cost $ 79 $ 69 $ 49 Interest cost 123 114 110 Amortization of transition obligation 54 54 54 Prior service costs 4 4 4 Amortization of gains -- -- (5) ----- ----- ----- Net postretirement benefit expense $ 260 $ 241 $ 212 ===== ===== =====
The APBO as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 was calculated using assumed discount rates of 5.75% and 6.25%, respectively. Based on the provisions of the plan, the Bank's expense is capped at 200% of the 1992 expense, with all expenses above the cap incurred by the retiree. The expense reached the cap in 2004, and accordingly the impact of an increase in health care costs on the APBO was not calculated. (11) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY On December 11, 2003, the Corporation repurchased 1,632,475 shares of its stock at $18.50 per share in a self tender offer. On December 21, 2000, the Corporation's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 2 million shares of MBT Financial Corp. common stock during the two-year period beginning January 2, 2001. On December 19, 32 2002, the Board of Directors extended the repurchase program until December 31, 2004. Shares purchased are as follows: Shares Repurchased Cost ----------- ----------- 2002 592,101 $ 7,908,387 2003 60,000 807,650 2004 220,000 3,873,500 ----------- ----------- Total 872,101 $12,589,537 =========== =========== On December 23, 2004, the Corporation's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 2 million shares of MBT Financial Corp. common stock during the 12 month period ending December 31, 2005. (12) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Certain of the Bank's assets and liabilities are financial instruments that have fair values that differ from their carrying values in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These fair values, along with the methods and assumptions used to estimate such fair values, are discussed below. The fair values of all financial instruments not discussed below are estimated to be equal to their carrying values as of December 31, 2004 and 2003. INVESTMENT SECURITIES Fair value for the Bank's investment securities was determined using the market value at December 31, 2004 and 2003. These Estimated Market Values are disclosed in Note 3. LOANS, NET AND LOANS HELD FOR SALE The fair value of all loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows associated with the loans, using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of loans at December 31, 2004, net of the allowance for loan losses, is $947,167,000, compared to the carrying value of $932,081,000. The estimated fair value of loans at December 31, 2003, net of the allowance for loan losses, was $865,427,000, compared to the carrying value of $849,350,000. OTHER TIME DEPOSITS The fair value of other time deposits, consisting of fixed maturity certificates of deposit, is estimated by discounting the related cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of other time deposits at December 31, 2004 is $443,265,000, compared to the carrying value of $435,614,000. The estimated fair value of other time deposits at December 31, 2003 was $348,255,000, compared to the carrying value of $337,472,000. FHLB ADVANCES AND SECURITIES SOLD UNDER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS A portion of the Federal Home Loan Bank advances in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were written with a put option that allows the Federal Home Loan Bank to require repayment or conversion to a variable rate advance. The fair value of these putable Federal Home Loan Bank advances is estimated using the binomial lattice option pricing method. The estimated fair value of putable Federal Home Loan Bank advances at December 31, 2004 is $140,160,000, compared to the carrying value of $130,000,000. The fair value and carrying value of the variable rate advances at December 31, 2004 is $123,000,000. The estimated fair value of the fixed rate Federal Home Loan Bank advance at December 31, 2004 is $3,603,000, compared to the carrying value of $3,500,000. The estimated fair value of putable Federal Home Loan Bank advances at December 31, 2003 was $144,546,000, compared to the carrying value of $130,000,000. The fair value and carrying value of the variable rate advances at December 31, 2003 was $95,000,000. The estimated fair value of the Securities Sold under Repurchase Agreements at December 31, 2004 was $29,943,000, compared to the carrying value of $30,000,000. OFF-BALANCE-SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are estimated using the fees currently charged to engage into similar agreements. The fair values of these instruments are not significant. (13) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be reversed. The Corporation and the Bank file a consolidated Federal income tax return. 33 The provision for Federal income taxes consists of the following (000s omitted):
2004 2003 2002 ------- ------- ------- Federal income taxes currently payable (refundable) $ 8,580 $ 7,348 $ 6,507 Provision (credit) for deferred taxes on: Book (over) under tax loan loss provision 245 (639) 210 Accretion of bond discount (43) (245) 103 Net deferred loan origination fees 56 (43) 46 Accrued postretirement benefits (81) 5 (58) Tax over (under) book depreciation (258) 441 70 ------- ------- ------- Total deferred provision (credit) (81) (481) 371 Other, net 276 (256) 1,236 ------- ------- ------- $ 8,775 $ 6,611 $ 8,114 ======= ======= =======
The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate applicable to corporations as a result of permanent differences between accounting and taxable income as follows:
2004 2003 2002 ---- ---- ---- Statutory rate 35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % Municipal interest income (6.3) (7.7) (7.1) Other, net (0.7) (1.8) (0.8) ---- ---- ---- Effective tax rate 28.0 % 25.5 % 27.1 % ==== ==== ====

(14) REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory (and possibly additional discretionary) actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the accompanying tables) of Total and Tier I capital to risk weighted assets and of Tier I capital to average assets. As of December 31, 2004, the Corporation's capital ratios exceeded the required minimums to be considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Corporation must maintain minimum Total risk based, Tier I risk based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the tables. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2004 that Management believes have changed the Corporation's category. Management believes, as of December 31, 2004, that the Corporation meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. 34 The Corporation's and Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table (000's omitted in dollar amounts).

(16) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN The Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan approved by shareholders at the April 6, 2000 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Monroe Bank & Trust authorized the Board of Directors to grant nonqualified stock options to key employees and non-employee directors. Such grants may be made until January 2, 2010 for up to 1,000,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock. The amount that may be awarded to any one individual is limited to 100,000 shares in any one calendar year. Stock options granted under the plan have exercise prices equal to the fair market value at the date of grant. Options granted under the plan may be exercised for a period of no more than ten years from the date of grant. One-third of the options granted to key employees in 2004 and 2003 vest annually, beginning December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2003, respectively. The options granted to key employees in 2002 and 2000 are vested as of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The options granted to non-employee directors in 2002 and 2001 vested on December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. 35 A summary of the status of stock options under the plan is presented in the table below.

Under current regulations, the Bank is limited in the amount it may loan to the Corporation. Loans to the Corporation may not exceed ten percent of the Bank's capital stock, surplus, and undivided profits plus the allowance for loan losses. Loans from the Bank to the Corporation are required to be collateralized. Accordingly, at December 31, 2004, Bank funds available for loans to the Corporation amounted to $16,743,000. The Bank has not made any loans to the Corporation. (18) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for its other lending activities. Financial instruments whose contractual amounts represent off-balance sheet credit risk at December 31 were as follows (000s omitted):
CONTRACTUAL AMOUNT 2004 2003 -------- -------- Commitments to extend credit: Unused portion of commercial lines of credit $123,739 $118,339 Unused portion of credit card lines of credit 7,265 9,828 Unused portion of home equity lines of credit 23,709 16,907 Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written 16,449 18,764
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. Most commercial lines of credit are secured by real estate mortgages or other collateral, generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, and require payment of a fee. Since the lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Credit card lines of credit have various established expiration dates, but are fundable on demand. Home equity lines of credit are secured by real estate mortgages, a majority of which have ten year expiration dates, but are fundable on demand. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case by case basis. The amount of the collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on Management's credit evaluation of the counter party. 37 Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and other business transactions. Approximately $15,484,000 of the letters of credit expires in 2005 and $965,000 extends for two to five years. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

38 ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES CONCLUSION REGARDING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES MBT Financial Corp. carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2004, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2004, in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Corporation (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be in the Corporation's periodic SEC filings. MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING The management of MBT Financial Corp. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. MBT Financial Corp.'s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Corporation's financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. MBT Financial Corp.'s management assessed the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework." Based on that assessment, management determined that, as of December 31, 2004, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting is effective, based on those criteria. Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 has been audited by Plante & Moran, PLLC, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing on page 40. ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION None. 39 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors MBT Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries Monroe, Michigan We have audited management's assessment included in the accompanying Report of Management on MBT Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, management's assessment that MBT Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on COSO criteria. Also in our opinion, MBT Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 based on the COSO criteria. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Consolidated Balance Sheets of MBT Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders equity and cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 and our report dated February 28, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. /s/ Plante & Moran, PLLC February 28, 2005 Auburn Hills, Michigan 40 PART III ITEM 10.
