MBT FINANCIAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MBT Financial Corp. (the “Company”) and its 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 eighteen branches in Monroe County, Michigan and seven branches 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 Company’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 accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of Management, necessary for fair statement of results for the interim periods.

The significant accounting policies are as follows:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

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 and amounts recognized related to postretirement benefit plans (gains and losses, prior service costs, and transition assets or obligations), are reported as a direct adjustment to the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

While the Company's chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company’s operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable segment.

FAIR VALUE

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” issued “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” This permits companies to elect on an instrument by instrument basis to fair value certain financial assets and financial liabilities with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as they occur. The election to fair value is generally irrevocable. In April 2007, the Corporation elected early adoption as of January 1, 2007. The Corporation did not select any financial assets or financial liabilities for fair value measurement, but elected early adoption in order to be able to apply the fair value option to financial assets and financial liabilities that may be acquired prior to the effective date of the statements.

-6-

The Corporation measures or monitors many of its assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is used on a recurring basis for assets and liabilities that are elected to be accounted for under The Fair Value Option as well as for certain assets and liabilities in which fair value is the primary basis of accounting. Examples of these include derivative instruments and available for sale securities. Additionally, fair value is used on a non-recurring basis to evaluate assets or liabilities for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Examples of these non-recurring uses of fair value include certain loans held for sale accounted for on a lower of cost or market basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the Corporation uses various valuation techniques and assumptions when estimating fair value.

The Corporation applied the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. The Corporation’s U.S. government agency securities, government sponsored mortgage backed securities, and mutual fund investments where quoted prices are available in an active market generally are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. The Corporation’s borrowed funds and investments in obligations of states and political subdivisions are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for these instruments are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows.

Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.  Private equity investments and trust preferred collateralized debt obligations are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values are initially valued based on transaction price and are adjusted to reflect exit values.

When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at and/or marked to fair value, the Corporation considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. When possible, the Corporation looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Corporation looks to market observable data for similar assets or liabilities. Nevertheless, certain assets and liabilities are not actively traded in observable markets and the Corporation must use alternative valuation techniques to derive a fair value measurement.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the FASB issued “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) is the single source of authoritative nongovernmental GAAP. All existing accounting standard documents, such as FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force and other related literature, excluding guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission, have been superseded by the Codification. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification has become nonauthoritative. The Codification is effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. There have been no changes to the content of our financial statements or disclosures as a result of implementing the Codification. However, as a result of implementation of the Codification, previous references to new accounting standards and literature are no longer applicable. All future references to authoritative accounting literature in our consolidated financial statements will be referenced in accordance with the Codification.

3. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Options - The following table summarizes the options that have been granted to non-employee directors and certain key executives in accordance with the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan that was approved by shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 6, 2000.

			Weighted Average
	Shares		Exercise Price
Options Outstanding, January 1, 2010		489,075	$	17.35

Forfeited		-		-
Options Outstanding, March 31, 2010		489,075	$	17.35
Options Exercisable, March 31, 2010		489,075	$	17.35

On January 4, 2010, Stock Only Stock Appreciation Rights (SOSARs) were awarded to certain directors in exchange for a portion of their retainer in accordance with the MBT 2008 Stock Incentive Plan that was approved by shareholders on May 1, 2008. The SOSARs have a term of ten years and vest on December 31, 2010. SOSARs granted under the plan are structured as fixed grants with the exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying stock on the date of the grant.

-8-

The fair value of $0.45 for the SOSARs was estimated at the date of the grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: expected option lives of 7 years, expected volatility of 35.7%, a risk free rate of 3.36% and dividend yield of 3.00%. The following table summarizes the SOSARs that have been granted:

			Weighted Average
	Shares		Exercise Price
SOSARs Outstanding, January 1, 2010		221,500	$	5.23
Granted		16,000		1.52
Exercised		-		-
Forfeited		1,000		3.03
SOSARs Outstanding, March 31, 2010		236,500	$	4.99
SOSARs Exercisable, March 31, 2010		124,682	$	5.63

The total expense for equity based compensation was $17,000 in the first quarter of 2010 and $40,000 in the first quarter of 2009.

4. LOANS

The Bank makes commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans primarily to customers in Monroe County, Michigan, southern Wayne County, Michigan, and surrounding areas. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on the automotive, manufacturing, and real estate development economic sectors.

Loans consist of the following (000s omitted):

	March 31,		December 31,
	2010		2009
Residential real estate loans	$	362,718	$	374,970
Non-farm, non-residential real estate loans		342,575		351,256
Loans to finance agricultural production and
other loans to farmers		7,854		7,113
Commercial and industrial loans		89,266		93,786
Loans to individuals for household, family,
and other personal expenditures		20,554		22,071
All other loans (including overdrafts)		370		574
Total loans, gross		823,337		849,770
Less: Deferred loan fees		762		791
Total loans, net of deferred loan fees		822,575		848,979
Less: Allowance for loan losses		24,112		24,063
	$	798,463	$	824,916

Loans are placed in a nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of Management, the collection of additional interest is doubtful. All loan relationships over $250,000 that are classified by Management as nonperforming as well as selected performing accounts and all renegotiated loans are reviewed for impairment. Allowances for loans determined to be impaired are included in the allowance for loan losses. All cash received on nonaccrual loans is applied to the principal balance. Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more past due, restructured loans, and other real estate owned. Other real estate owned includes real estate that has been acquired in full or partial satisfaction of loan obligations or upon foreclosure and real estate that the bank has purchased but no longer intends to use for bank premises.

-9-

The following table summarizes nonperforming assets (000’s omitted):

	March 31,			December 31,
	2010			2009
Nonaccrual loans	$	61,722		$	56,992
Loans 90 days past due		53			20
Restructured loans		28,042			29,102
Total nonperforming loans	$	89,817		$	86,114
Other real estate owned		19,611			17,502
Other assets		23			1,330
Nonperforming investment securities		4,740			4,740
Total nonperforming assets	$	114,191		$	109,686
Nonperforming assets to total assets		8.27	%		7.93	%
Allowance for loan losses to
nonperforming loans		26.85	%		27.94	%

5. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Activity in the allowance for loan losses during the quarter ended March 31 was as follows (000’s omitted):

	March 31, 2010			March 31, 2009
Balance beginning of quarter	$	24,063		$	18,528
Provision for loan losses		2,200			4,200
Loans charged off		(2,362	)		(1,575	)
Recoveries		211			600
Balance end of period	$	24,112		$	21,753

For each period, the provision for loan losses in the income statement is based on Management’s estimate of the amount required to maintain an adequate Allowance for Loan 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, or 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 is netted against loans on the consolidated statements of condition. When it is determined that a customer will not repay a loan, 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.

Impairment is recorded against individual securities, unless the decrease in fair value is attributable to interest rates or the lack of an active market, and Management determines that the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before a recovery of their amortized costs bases, which may be maturity. The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s investments with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other than temporarily impaired (in thousands), aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

The amount of investment securities issued by government agencies, states, and political subdivisions with unrealized losses and the amount of unrealized losses on those investment securities are primarily the result of market interest rates and not the result of the credit quality of the issuers of the securities. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other than temporarily impaired at March 31, 2010.

The Trust Preferred CDO Securities are issued by companies in the financial services industry, including banks, thrifts, and insurance companies. Each of the three securities owned by the Company is in an unrealized loss position. The main reasons for the impairment are the overall decline in market values for financial industry securities and the lack of an active market for these types of securities in particular. In determining whether the impairment is not other-than-temporary, the Company analyzed each security’s expected cash flows. The assumptions used in the cash flow analysis were developed following a review of the financial condition of the individual obligors in the pools. The analysis concluded that disruption of our cash flows due to defaults by issuers was currently not expected to occur in one of the three securities owned. As a result of uncertainties in the market place affecting companies in the financial services industry, it is at least reasonably possible that a change in the estimate will occur in the near term. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider this investment to be other than temporarily impaired at  March 31, 2010.

-12-

The Other Than Temporary Impairment (OTTI) analysis of two of the three Trust Preferred CDO securities indicated that their impairment most likely is not temporary. Accounting regulations require entities to split OTTI charges between credit losses, which are charged to earnings, and other impairment, which is charged to Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). The CDOs that have OTTI have an amortized cost of $4.823 million and a fair value of $1.87 million. The impairment of $2.953 is other impairment that was charged to OCI. Credit losses of $1.663 million were charged to earnings in 2009.

The Corporate Debt Securities consist of senior unsecured debt issued by two regional bank holding companies. The market values for these securities have declined over the last several months due to larger credit spreads on financial sector debt. The Company owns two bonds with maturities in January, 2017 to February, 2019. The Company monitors the financial condition of each issuer by reviewing financial statements and industry analyst reports, and believes that each of the issuers will be able to fulfill the obligations of these securities. The unrealized losses on investment securities are primarily the result of increases in market interest rates and not the result of credit quality of the issuers of the securities. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the company does not consider those investments to be other than temporarily impaired at March 31, 2010.

7. 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 (Cash and cash equivalents, Federal funds sold, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, Accrued interest receivable and other assets, Bank Owned Life Insurance, Federal funds purchased, and Interest payable and other liabilities) are estimated to be equal to their carrying amounts as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Fair value for the Bank’s investment securities was determined using the market value in active markets, where available. When not available, fair values are estimated using the fair value hierarchy. In the fair value hierarchy, Level 2 fair values are determined using observable inputs other than Level 1 market prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets. Level 3 values are determined using unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow projections. These Estimated Market Values are disclosed in Note 6. The fair value disclosures required are in Note 8.

LOANS, NET

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.

-13-

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.

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 fair value of fixed and variable rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances and Securities Sold under Repurchase Agreements, is estimated by discounting the related cash flows using the rates currently available for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.

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.

The carrying amounts and approximate fair values as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are as follows (000’s omitted):

	March 31, 2010				December 31, 2009

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2010, and the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine those fair values.

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access.

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

-14-

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset.

In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (000’s omitted):

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Balance at March 31,
Investment Securities - Available for Sale - 2010	$	309,227	$	24,493	$	3,445	$	337,165
Investment Securities - Available for Sale - 2009	$	313,801	$	50,721	$	13,155	$	377,677

The changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were (000’s omitted):

	Investment Securities - Available for Sale
	2010			2009
Balance at prior year end	$	7,215		$	19,746
Total realized and unrealized gains (losses) included in income		-			(769	)
Total unrealized gains (losses) included in other comprehensive income		150			(5,822	)
Net purchases, sales, calls and maturities		(3,920	)		-
Net transfers in/out of Level 3		-			-
Balance at March 31	$	3,445		$	13,155

Of the Level 3 assets that were held by the Company at March 31, 2010, the unrealized gain for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $150,000, which is recognized in other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company did not have any sales or purchases of Level 3 available for sale securities during the period.

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions classified as Level 3 assets. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for these assets presented in the tables above may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.

The Company owns pooled Trust Preferred Securities (“TRUPs”) with a fair value of $3,445,000 as of March 31, 2010. Trading of these types of securities has increased recently but is primarily conducted on a distress sale or forced liquidation basis. As a result, the Company measures the fair values of these assets using Level 3 inputs, specifically discounted cash flow projections.

The Company also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include loans and Other Real Estate Owned. The Company estimated the fair values of these assets using Level 3 inputs, specifically discounted cash flow projections.

-15-

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are as follows (000’s omitted):

	Balance at March 31, 2010		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Losses for the three months ended March 31, 2010
Impaired loans	$	76,964	$	-	$	-	$	76,964	$	2,151
Other Real Estate Owned	$	19,611	$	-	$	19,611	$	-	$	1,036

	Balance at March 31, 2009		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Losses for the three months ended March 31, 2009
Impaired loans	$	47,582	$	-	$	-	$	47,582	$	975
Other Real Estate Owned	$	20,722	$	-	$	20,722	$	-	$	1,856

Impaired loans categorized as Level 3 assets consist of non-homogenous loans that are considered impaired. The Company estimates the fair value of the loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows using management’s best estimate of key assumptions. These assumptions include future payment ability, timing of payment streams, and estimated realizable values of available collateral (typically based on outside appraisals). Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) consists of property received in full or partial satisfaction of a receivable. The Company utilizes independent appraisals to estimate the fair value of OREO properties.

9. 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 statements of condition.

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 were as follows (000s omitted):

	Contractual Amount
	March 31,		December 31,
	2010		2009
Commitments to extend credit:
Unused portion of commercial lines of credit	$	63,423	$	64,096
Unused portion of credit card lines of credit		5,252		4,286
Unused portion of home equity lines of credit		16,603		16,034
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written		4,786		5,008
All other off-balance sheet assets		3,100		2,986

-16-

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, and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. 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 counterparty.

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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

MBT Financial Corp. (the “Company) is a bank holding company with one subsidiary, Monroe Bank & Trust (“the Bank”). The Bank is a commercial bank with two wholly owned subsidiaries, MBT Credit Company, Inc. and MB&T Financial Services. MBT Credit Company, Inc. conducts lending operations for the Bank and MB&T Financial Services is an insurance agency which sells insurance policies to the Bank. The Bank operates 18 branch offices in Monroe County, Michigan and 7 offices in Wayne County, Michigan. The Bank’s primary source of income is interest income on its loans and investments and its primary expense is interest expense on its deposits and borrowings.

The national economic recovery is gaining strength, but the conditions in southeast Michigan are weak. Local unemployment rates remain high and property values remain low, but we are beginning to see some signs of stability. Our total problem assets, which include non performing loans, other real estate owned, non accrual investments, and performing loans that are internally classified as potential problems, only increased $4.2 million, or 2.7% compared to a year ago. During the same period we increased our Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL) $2.4 million, or 10.8%. Although local property values and the unemployment rate have been stable for three consecutive quarters, we do not anticipate a significant recovery in our local markets this year. We will continue to focus our efforts on improving asset quality, maintaining liquidity, strengthening capital, and controlling expenses.

Net Interest Income decreased $808,000 compared to the first quarter of 2009 even though the net interest margin increased from 3.04% to 3.11% as the average earning assets decreased $143.8 million, or 10.2%. The provision for loan losses decreased from $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2009 to $2.2 million in 2010 as the recent stability in the local economic conditions lessened the need to build the ALLL. Non interest income increased $710,000 compared to last year as each source of non interest income increased except for NSF fees, which decreased due to a significant decrease in overdraft activity. Our ongoing efforts to control costs continue to produce results, and our non interest expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 9.2% compared to the first quarter of 2009. We expect credit related expenses, including the costs of carrying a high level of Other Real Estate Owned (OREO), to remain high, but we should continue to see meaningful expense improvement in most other areas.

Our capital ratios remain above the regulatory minimums required to be considered a “well capitalized” under bank regulatory guidelines.  As of March 31, 2010 our total capital was $83,913,000.  We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet the needs of our qualified loan customers, and we continue to maintain a financially sound and solvent balance sheet. We suspended the payment of dividends in the third quarter of 2009 due to losses and to preserve capital. Our board does not expect to reinstate the dividend until it believes that earnings and capital have returned to levels that support ongoing payment of dividends.

-17-

In May, 2009 the Bank agreed to an informal memorandum of understanding with its regulators to establish, among other things, reporting regularly to the regulators about our operations, financial condition, and efforts to mitigate risks.  As a part of this informal program the Bank undertook certain actions to improve the Bank's credit administration and developed a written plan to attain a minimum Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio of 8% that was approved by the Company's Board and timely submitted to its regulatory agencies.  The Bank has not achieved the capital target and it is likely that the Bank will be subject to a more formal regulatory action.  If this occurs, the Bank will become classified as “adequately capitalized” even though its ratios remain above the “well capitalized” minimums. The Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio decreased from 6.21% at December 31, 2009 to 6.18% at March 31, 2010. The decrease in this ratio in the first quarter was due to the disallowance, solely for purposes of computation of the Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio, of $3.2 million in deferred tax assets. Bank capital regulations limit the amount of deferred tax assets that banks may include in equity capital when determining compliance with bank capital requirements. Although the disallowance of $3.2 million in deferred tax assets adversely impacted our regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2010, we anticipate that we will be able to utilize the deferred tax asset and did not increase the valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets that we established in the fourth quarter of 2009. Following the large loss experienced in 2009, the Company does not expect to reach the 8% Tier 1 Leverage Ratio target set forth in our memorandum of understanding during 2010 without raising capital externally. This expectation could be impacted positively or negatively due to current uncertainties, which include, but are not limited to, recovery of, or increases in, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, changing economic conditions, asset quality, and property values, and potential increased impairment of investment securities.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’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 Company’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 Company estimates losses on all loans that are not classified as non accrual or renegotiated by applying historical loss rates, adjusted for current conditions, to those loans. In addition, all loans that are non accrual or renegotiated are individually tested for impairment. Any amount of monetary impairment is included in the Allowance for Loan Losses.

Financial Condition

National economic conditions appear to have begun to recover in the second half of 2009. Local unemployment and property values have stabilized, however, the economic environment is still weak in southeast Michigan, which caused our nonperforming assets to increase during the quarter. Total loans decreased due to low loan demand, payments received in the ordinary course of business, and charge offs of existing loans. We continued to manage toward a decreased use of brokered certificates of deposits, which has helped improve our net interest margin. While some lending opportunities exist, the economy is expected to remain weak in our market area throughout 2010. The Company expects low or slightly negative deposit and asset growth in 2010 and intends to continue to focus efforts on improved credit quality, capital management, and enterprise risk mitigation.

-18-

Since December 31, 2009, total loans decreased $26.4 million (3.1%) due to the weak loan demand. This reduction in loans resulted in an increase of $25.2 million (6.1%) in total cash and investments. Total assets and total deposits each decreased less than 1% during the first quarter. Total capital increased $2.1 million or 2.6%, resulting from a nominal profit and a $1.8 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).  The increase in AOCI resulted from an increase in the value of our securities available for sale. The increase in total capital and the decrease in total assets caused the capital to assets ratio to increase from 5.91% at December 31, 2009 to 6.07% at March 31, 2010.

The amount of nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) increased $4.5 million or 4.1% since year end. NPAs include non performing loans, which increased 4.3% from $86.1 million to $89.8 million, and Other Real Estate Owned and Other Assets (“OREO”), which increased 4.3% from $18.8 million to $19.6 million. Total problem assets, which includes all NPAs and performing loans that are internally classified as substandard, increased $2.3 million, or 1.5%. The Company’s Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”) increased $49,000 since December 31, 2009, resulting from an increase in our FAS 114 allocation from $6.5 million to $8.3 million, and a decrease from $17.6 million to $15.8 million in our FAS 5 general allocation due to the decrease in the size of the loan portfolio. The loss factors utilized in the general allocation include loss averages for the most recent eight quarters and adjustments for various current factors, such as recent delinquency trends and national and local economic conditions. The ALLL is now 2.93% of loans, compared to 2.83% at year end. The ALLL is 26.9% of NPLs, compared to 27.9% at year end. In light of current economic conditions, we believe that at this level the ALLL adequately estimates the potential losses in the loan portfolio.

Results of Operations – First Quarter 2010 vs. First Quarter 2009

Net Interest Income - A comparison of the income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2010 shows a decrease of $808,000, or 7.9%, in Net Interest Income. Interest income on loans decreased $1.7 million or 12.1% as the average loans outstanding decreased $108.3 million and the average yield on loans decreased from 5.90% to 5.86%. The interest income on investments, fed funds sold, and interest bearing balances due from banks decreased $2.0 million as the average amount of investments, fed funds sold, and interest bearing balances due from banks decreased $35.5 million and the yield decreased from 4.65% to 3.14%. An improvement in the term structure of interest rates, a decrease in the overall level of interest rates, and the maturity of some high cost borrowings and brokered certificates of deposit allowed funding costs to decrease faster than asset yields. The interest expense on deposits decreased $2.2 million or 39.3% as the average deposits decreased $67.5 million and the average cost of those deposits decreased from 2.03% to 1.32%. The cost of borrowed funds decreased $0.7 million as the average amount of borrowed funds decreased $33.8 million and the average cost of the borrowings decreased from 4.52% to 4.01%.

Provision for Loan Losses - The Provision for Loan Losses decreased from $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2009 to $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2010 primarily due to stabilization of economic conditions, especially local real estate values. Net charge offs were $2.2 million during the first quarter of 2010, compared to $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2009. Each quarter, the Company conducts a review and analysis of its ALLL to determine its adequacy. This analysis involves specific allocations for impaired credits and a general allocation for losses expected based on historical experience adjusted for current conditions. The ALLL is 2.93% of loans as of March 31, 2010, and, in light of current economic conditions, we believe that at this level the ALLL adequately estimates the potential losses in our loan portfolio.

-19-

Other Income – Non interest income increased $710,000 or 21.3% compared to the first quarter of 2009. We have been successful in attracting new business in our Wealth Management Group and market values of investments improved, leading to a 5.3% increase in Wealth Management fees. Service charges and other fees decreased $85,000, or 6.3%, primarily due to a decrease in NSF fees on checking accounts. Mortgage loan activity increased in the first quarter of 2010, and the origination fees on mortgage loans sold increased $23,000, or 21.1%. The net gain on securities transactions increased $458,000 mainly due to an OTTI charge on our pooled trust preferred CDO securities in the first quarter of 2009.

Other Expenses – Total non interest expenses decreased $1.1 million or 9.2% compared to the first quarter of 2009. Most expense categories were flat or decreased due to cost containment initiatives implemented throughout the last year. Salaries and Employee Benefits decreased $365,000, or 6.7%, due to a decrease in staff, a decrease in the 401(k) matching contribution and the elimination of the incentive pay accrual. Occupancy expense decreased $109,000, or 11.9% due to lower rent, maintenance, and utilities costs. Collection expenses decreased significantly due to a large charge for an unusual item last year to secure our lien on loan collateral. FDIC deposit insurance premium expense increased $195,000, or 44.7% primarily due to an increase in the assessment rate.

As a result of the above activity, the Income Before Income Taxes increased $3.0 million to a profit of $348,000. The income tax benefit of $207,000 was not recorded due to the uncertainty of our expected ability to utilize our existing deferred tax assets. Our first quarter net profit of $348,000 is an increase of $1.7 million from the loss of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2009.

Cash Flows

Cash flows used by operating activities decreased from $3.2 million in the first three months of 2009 to $0.9 million in the first three months of 2010 due to the increase in net income and the increase in the net deferred federal income tax asset in the first quarter of 2009. Cash flows provided by investing activities decreased from $45.2 million in the first three months of 2009 to $3.5 million in the first three months of 2010 primarily due to a decrease in the maturities and redemptions of investment securities. The amount of cash used for financing activities decreased from $70.6 million in the first three months of 2009 to $2.9 million in the first three months of 2010 as the decrease in deposits decreased from $69.2 million in 2009 to $2.9 million in 2010. Also, dividends paid decreased from $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2009 to zero in the first quarter of 2010 as the dividend was eliminated in the third quarter of 2009.

Liquidity and Capital

The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to fund its lending activity and allow for fluctuations in deposit levels. Internal sources of liquidity include the maturities of loans and securities in the ordinary course of business as well as our available for sale securities portfolio. External sources of liquidity include a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, the Federal funds line that has been established with our correspondent bank, Repurchase Agreements with money center banks that allow us to pledge securities as collateral for borrowings and the Federal Reserve Discount Window, which allows us to pledge loans and investments as collateral. As of March 31, 2010, the Bank utilized $228.5 million of its authorized limit of $275 million with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and none of its $25 million of federal funds line with a correspondent bank.

The Company’s Funds Management Policy includes guidelines for desired amounts of liquidity and capital. The Funds Management Policy also includes contingency plans for liquidity and capital that specify actions to take if liquidity and capital ratios fall below the levels contained in the policy. Throughout the first three months of 2010 the Company was in compliance with its Funds Management Policy regarding liquidity and capital.

Total stockholders’ equity of the Company was $83.9 million at March 31, 2010 and $81.8 million at December 31, 2009. The ratio of equity to assets was 6.07% at March 31, 2010 and 5.91% at December 31, 2009. Federal bank regulatory agencies have set capital adequacy standards for Total Risk Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk Based Capital, and Leverage Capital. These standards require banks to maintain Leverage and Tier 1 ratios of at least 4% and a Total Capital ratio of at least 8% to be adequately capitalized. The regulatory agencies consider a bank to be well capitalized if its Total Risk Based Capital is at least 10% of Risk Weighted Assets, Tier 1 Capital is at least 6% of Risk Weighted Assets, and the Leverage Capital Ratio is at least 5%.

The following table summarizes the capital ratios of the Company and the Bank:

	Actual					Minimum to Qualify as Well Capitalized
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio
As of March 31, 2010:
Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets
Consolidated	$	97,918		10.30	%	$	95,067		10	%
Monroe Bank & Trust		97,180		10.23	%		94,986		10	%
Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets
Consolidated		85,880		9.03	%		57,040		6	%
Monroe Bank & Trust		85,111		8.96	%		56,992		6	%
Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets
Consolidated		85,880		6.23	%		68,931		5	%
Monroe Bank & Trust		85,111		6.18	%		68,901		5	%

	Actual					Minimum to Qualify as Well Capitalized
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio
As of December 31, 2009:
Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets
Consolidated	$	101,158		10.21	%	$	99,065		10	%
Monroe Bank & Trust		100,329		10.14	%		98,984		10	%
Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets
Consolidated		88,627		8.95	%		59,439		6	%
Monroe Bank & Trust		87,775		8.87	%		59,390		6	%
Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets
Consolidated		88,627		6.27	%		70,681		5	%
Monroe Bank & Trust		87,775		6.21	%		70,643		5	%

At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Bank was in compliance with the capital guidelines and qualified as “well capitalized” under regulatory standards. Due to the inability to attain the Tier 1 leverage ratio target in the MOU, it is likely that the Bank will be required to enter into a formal agreement with its regulators. If that occurs, the Bank will become classified as “adequately capitalized” even though its ratios meet the “well capitalized” guidelines.

Market risk for the Bank, as is typical for most banks, consists mainly of interest rate risk and market price risk. The Bank’s earnings and the economic value of its equity are exposed to interest rate risk and market price risk, and monitoring this risk is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO) of the Bank. The Bank’s market risk is monitored monthly and it has not changed significantly since year-end 2009.

Item 3. 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 liabilities, 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 gradual increases or decreases of 100, 200, and 300 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 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. At the end of 2009, the estimated variability of the net interest income exceeded the Bank’s established policy limits for the minus 200 and minus 300 basis point rate scenarios. At the end of the first three months of 2010, the estimated variability of the net interest income exceeded the Bank’s established policy limit for the minus 300 basis point rate scenario. However, because current interest rates are at historically low levels, it is not probable that rates would decrease 300 basis points, and the ALCO determined that no corrective action is required.

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 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 Bank estimates the interest rate risk by calculating the effect of market interest rate changes on that economic value of its equity. For this analysis, the Bank assumes immediate parallel shifts of plus or minus 100, 200, and 300 basis points in interest rates. 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 changes on the market for loans and deposits.

The Bank’s interest rate risk, as measured by the net interest income and economic value of equity simulations, has not changed significantly from December 31, 2009.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2010, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2010, in alerting them in a timely manner to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings.
