AND SUBSIDIARY Period Ended March 31, 2007 NOTE E - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159 the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB 115. FASB No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial instruments at fair value. It was developed to improve financial reporting by reducing the volatility pertaining to the measurement of assets and liabilities without having to apply complex hedge accounting guidance. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with FASB's long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The Company is evaluating the effects of this statement on its financial statements and has not elected to adopt early. 6 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. When used in this discussion, the words "believes", "anticipates", "contemplates", "expects", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which include changes in interest rates, risks associated with the effect of opening new branches, the ability to control costs and expenses, and general economic conditions. IBT Bancorp, Inc. undertakes no obligation to update those forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. GENERAL IBT Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Irwin, Pennsylvania, which provides a full range of commercial and retail banking services through its wholly owned banking subsidiary, Irwin Bank (collectively, the "Company"). In the fall of 2006, the Company began a branding and market research initiative. As a result of this on-going endeavor, in February 2007, the Company developed a new logo for its banking subsidiary and shortened its name to "Irwin Bank". The Company's stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol IRW. All historical per share amounts have been restated for the 100% stock dividend paid on November 16, 2006. FINANCIAL CONDITION At March 31, 2007 total assets increased $522,000 to $741.5 million from $741.0 million at December 31, 2006. Asset growth was primarily due to increases in securities available for sale of $3.7 million offset by net loan decreases of $1.7 million. At March 31, 2007, securities available for sale increased $3.7 million to $224.9 million from $221.2 million at December 31, 2006. This change was primarily due to increases in U.S. government agencies of $3.3 million and in mortgage-backed securities of $923,000 offset by a net decrease of $532,000 in obligations of state and political sub-divisions. The Company evaluates the investment portfolio on an on-going basis to maximize yield, within board-approved risk thresholds, making purchasing and selling decisions accordingly. Net loans at March 31, 2007 were $466.0 million, $1.7 million below the reported total of $467.7 million at December 31, 2006. This change was primarily due to decreases in real estate secured mortgage and commercial loans of $1.4 million and in lines of credit of $1.3 million partially offset by an increase of $821,000 in municipal loans. Contributing to the decrease was a decline in first quarter loan originations following a seasonal drop in fourth quarter loan applications. 7 At March 31, 2007, total liabilities remained relatively unchanged at $678.4 million from the same reported total at December 31, 2006. Total liabilities remained unchanged due to decreases in total deposits and FHLB advances being offset by increases in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements increased $2.7 million to $30.1 million at March 31, 2007, from $27.4 million at December 31, 2006 due to normal account fluctations. The Company offers its corporate customers sweep accounts where unused deposit balances are swept into an overnight repurchase agreement yielding market rates. FHLB advance totals dropped $2.5 million to $70.0 million at March 31, 2007, from $72.4 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease is due to the maturity of a $2.0 million advance and principal payments of $463,000. Non-interest bearing deposit accounts decreased to $85.3 million at March 31, 2007, from $85.6 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease of $206,000 is attributed to normal fluctuations, which arise due to the timing of month-end pension and social security deposits. Interest-bearing deposits decreased to $486.8 million at March 31, 2007, from $486.9 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease of $152,000 was primarily in certificates of deposit, which decreased $9.7 million. The decrease was offset by an increase of $5.6 million in money market accounts, $2.1 million in interest bearing checking accounts, and $1.9 million in savings accounts. Certificate of deposit decreases were primarily from short-term certificates that the Company had not anticipated maintaining. At March 31, 2007 total stockholders' equity increased $513,000 to $63.1 million from $62.6 million at December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to net income of $1.9 million and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income (net of deferred income taxes) of $130,000 offset by dividends paid of $1.5 million and treasury stock purchased of $13,000. Accumulated other comprehensive income increased as a result of changes in the net unrealized gains/losses on securities available for sale. Because of the effect of interest rate volatility on unrealized gains/losses on securities available for sale, the Company's accumulated other comprehensive income could materially fluctuate for each interim period and year-end. See Note D to the consolidated financial statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased $443,000 to $1,868,000, or $.32 diluted earnings per share from $2,310,000, or $.39 diluted earnings per share, for the comparable three-month period in 2006. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was primarily the result of a decrease in net interest income due primarily to a $254,000 decrease in investment security gains, a decrease in other income, and an increase in other expense. 8 Net interest income. Net interest income declined to $5,382,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $5,408,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. While interest income increased 13% over the comparable 2006 quarter, interest expense increased 30%. This was due to rates paid for deposits increasing at a faster rate than rates charged for loans. As a result, the Company's net interest spread tightened to 2.52% from 2.82% in the prior year period and its net interest margin narrowed to 3.08% from 3.31%. The narrowing of the spread and margin reflect the current inverted yield curve environment in which short-term rates (off which we price our deposits) are higher than long-term rates (off which we price our loans.) Interest income. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased $1,198,000 to $10,616,000 from $9,418,000 for the comparable three-month period in 2006. The average balance of interest earning assets increased $45.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, to $698.9 million from $653.8 million for the comparable period in 2006. The yield on these assets increased 32 basis points to 6.08%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from 5.76% for the comparable period in 2006. See "Average Balance Sheet and Rate/Volume Analysis". Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased $1,224,000 to $5,234,000 from $4,010,000 for the comparable period in 2006. The change in interest expense was primarily attributed to an increase of $41.2 million in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a 62 basis point increase in the average cost of funds to 3.56% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from 2.94% for the comparable period in 2006. See "Average Balance Sheet and Rate/Volume Analysis". 9 Average Balance Sheet The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company for the periods indicated. The average yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense on an annualized basis by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Average balances are derived from average daily balances.

The changes in interest income and interest expense attributable to changes in both volume and rate have been allocated to the changes due to rate. Tax exempt income was not recalculated on a tax equivalent basis due to the immateriality of the change to the table resulting from a recalculation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 $250,000 was taken as a provision for loan losses compared to $300,000 for the comparable quarter in 2006. At March 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses equaled 1.06% of gross loans outstanding compared to .82% at March 31, 2006. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans for the respective periods were ..005% and .03%. The provision for loan losses is charged to operations to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level that represents management's best estimate of the losses inherent in the portfolio, based on a monthly review by management of the following factors: o Historical experience o Volume o Type of lending conducted by the Bank o Industry standards o The level and status of past due and non-performing loans o The general economic conditions in the Bank's lending area; and o Other factors affecting the collectability of the loans in the portfolio Large groups of homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate, small commercial real estate loans and home equity and consumer loans are evaluated in the aggregate using historical loss factors and other data. The amount of loss reserve is calculated using historical loss rates, net of recoveries on a five year rolling weighted average, adjusted for environmental, and other qualitative factors such as industry, geographical, economic and political factors that can effect loss rates or loss measurements. Watch and classified loans are allocated additional reserves. Large balance and/or more complex loans such as multi-family and commercial real estate loans may be evaluated on an individual basis and are also evaluated in the aggregate to determine adequate reserves. As specific loans are determined to be impaired, specific reserves are assigned based upon collateral value, market value, if determinable, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows of the loan. 11 The allowance is increased by a provision for loan loss which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they are 90 days past due, unless they are adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that represents management's best estimate of losses in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for losses will be adequate to cover losses which may be realized in the future and that additional provisions for losses will not be required. Other income. Total other income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased $218,000 to $1,627,000 from $1,845,000 for the comparable three month period in 2006. The decrease in other income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was primarily due to a decrease in investment security gains of $254,000. This decrease was partially offset by increases in other income, service fees and debit card fees of $17,000, $15,000, and $14,000, respectively. Other income increased as a result of a gain realized from the sale of other real estate while income from service fees and debit card fees collected rose due to a growing deposit base and increased transactions from the comparable period in 2006. Other expense. Total other expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 increased $332,000 to $4,370,000 from $4,038,000 for the comparable three month period in 2006. Other expenses, advertising, and benefit costs increased $192,000, $83,000, and $70,000, respectively, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 from the comparable period in 2006. The increase in other expenses was primarily related to increased donations and the normal cost of doing business. Advertising costs rose due to expenses related to the Company's new logo while the increase in benefit costs are directly related to an increase in health care benefit costs. The balances of the increases are due to normal increases in the cost of doing business. Provision for income taxes. Income taxes decreased to $521,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 from $604,000 for the comparable quarter in 2006 as a result of lower net income. Securities written down in December 2004 and sold in 2006 also reduced the recorded tax expense in 2006. The effective tax rate increased to 22% for the first quarter of 2007 from 21% for the comparable quarter in 2006. Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK There were no significant changes for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from the information presented in the 10K statement, under the caption Market Risk, for the year ended December 31, 2006.
