Part I
Item 1. 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 24 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 approximately seven 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 with approximately 61%
of the Monroe County market.
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.
3
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 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, 2003, Monroe Bank & Trust had 373 full-time employees and 25 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.

Item 7. 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 these
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 $14,500,000 as of December 31, 2003 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 - Despite the slowdown in economic activity in 2001, we
experienced our second consecutive record earnings year as Net Income increased
$751,000, or 4%, compared to 2000. Deposits increased less than 1% and Total
Assets increased only 1%. Net Loans showed a slight decrease of 3% as commercial
and industrial loans decreased 34% and loans to individuals for household,
family, and other personal expenditures decreased 19%. Real estate loans showed
a small increase of 9%. Although Total Loans decreased, we increased our
Allowance for Loan Losses $2,400,000. This increase was necessary as the weak
economic conditions impacted the credit quality of many of our customers. Income
before Provision for Income Taxes increased $1,026,000, or 4%, compared to 2000.
With a slight increase in our investment in Obligations of States and Political
Subdivisions, our Provision for Income Taxes increased only $275,000, or 3%. The
effective tax rate was 27.5% in 2001.
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
8
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 $12,932,000 of loans to other real estate and charge offs of
$8,697,000, which enabled us to reduce our allowance for loan losses $600,000.
Income before Provision for Income Taxes decreased $314,000, or 1%, 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.
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 $2,489,000, 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 we are still one of
the lowest cost providers of deposit services in our market, we increased our
fee income 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 $3,190,000, or 12% in our non-interest expenses. Income
before Provision for Income Taxes decreased $3,992,000, or 13% compared to 2002.
The lower amount of income resulted in a decrease of $1,503,000, or 19% in our
Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rate decreased from 27.1% in 2002
to 25.5% in 2003.
Earnings for the Bank are usually highly reflective of the Net Interest Income.
In 2001, the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve attempted to
prevent a recession by lowering the Federal Funds target rate 11 times, for a
total of 475 basis points. Interest income increased only $1.8 million and
interest expense decreased $146,000, compared to 2000. As a result, Net Interest
Income increased $1.9 million, or 4%. The Provision for Loan Losses increased
$1.1 million, as the Allowance for Loan Losses was increased. Non-interest
income increased $1.9 million and non-interest expense increased $1.7 million.
Income from trust services declined modestly due to a large amount of estate
settlement fees collected by the trust department in 2000 and the declining
market value of trust assets in 2001. The large increase in service charges on
deposit accounts was the result of increases in the rates charged for deposit
services and the implementation of new programs for overdrafts. Other
non-interest income increased due to increased fees on mortgage originations and
gains on the sales of portions of the consumer credit card and commercial lease
loan portfolios. These sales resulted in a gain of $717,000. The increase in
non-interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in Salaries and
Employee Benefits as staffing continued to increase in several areas. The small
increase in Net Interest Income, along with the significant increases in
Provision for Loan Losses and non-interest income, and the small increase in
non-interest expense, resulted in a small increase in Net Income. 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 million, resulting in a decrease of $1.6
million in Net Interest Income. The Provision for Loan Losses decreased $1.3
million after the 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 security gains 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
9
better customer service to existing customers, resume the growth in the loan
portfolio, and improve the monitoring of existing credit relationships. 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 6.72%. 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. The
average cost of interest bearing deposits was 4.1%, 2.4%, and 1.7% for 2001,
2002, and 2003 respectively. The table below shows selected financial ratios for
the same three years.

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 78% as of December 31,
2002 to 80% as of December 31, 2003. As reflected in Note 3 to the consolidated
financial statements, the percentage of securities that mature within five years
was 13% as of December 31, 2003 and 39% as of December 31, 2002. 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.

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, 2003. 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 weekly, 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 2004, we expect interest rates to remain low through the first half of the
year. Although the economic recovery that began in 2002 continues, low inflation
and slow jobs growth will allow the Federal Reserve to continue to provide
monetary stimulus. Although recovery in our region lags behind other areas due
to the connection to the automotive industry, we expect local loan demand to
increase as the low interest rates will begin to encourage borrowing. We opened
two full service branches in southern Wayne County in 2003 and plan to open
another in mid 2004. These branches are expected to contribute to an increase in
loans and deposits in 2004. 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 anticipate a
significant decrease 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 and
the expected decrease in the Provision for Loan Losses, we expect Net Income to
increase considerably in 2004.

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, increased
$3.3 million, or 7% from 2002 to 2003. Nonperforming assets as a percent of
total assets at year-end increased from 3.2% in 2002 to 3.3% in 2003. The
Allowance for Loan Losses as a percent of nonperforming assets at year-end
increased from 27.9% in 2002 to 30.4% in 2002.
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 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
16
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, 2003 and 2002.

Net Interest Income 48,930 51,175 49,003
Percent Change From Base Projection 4.6% 0.1%
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 2003, 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.

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 three offices
in Wayne County, Michigan. MBT Credit Company, Inc. operates a mortgage loan
office in Monroe County and a loan and trust office in Wayne 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 decreased
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.
25
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,
substandard or special mention. 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 $21,047,000 in 2003 and $20,454,000 in 2002. 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 $2,471,000 in 2003, $2,102,000 in 2002, and $1,995,000 in
2001.
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 2003 2002 2001
------- ------- -------
Unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale $(1,285) $ 806 $(2,022)
Tax effect 450 (282) 707
------- ------- -------
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) $ (835) $ 524 $(1,315)
======= ======= =======
26
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:

Pro Forma Earnings per Share
Basic $ 1.00 $ 1.10 $ 1.09
Diluted $ 1.00 $ 1.10 $ 1.09
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 $3.04, $3.19 and $3.82
in 2003, 2002 and 2001, 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 2003, 2002 and 2001:
expected option lives of seven years for all three; expected volatility of
23.9%, 23.9% and 18.6% and risk-free interest rates of 4.6%, 4.6% and 6.1%,
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
Effective April 1, 1999, the Bank adopted SFAS 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended by SFAS 137 and
SFAS 138. The impact of SFAS 133 was not material to the Bank's financial
statements.
(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 $1,532,000 and
$1,937,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Cash and due from
banks includes deposits held at correspondent banks in excess of FDIC
insurance limits.

payments. These securities are in nonaccrual status. Due to the decline in
creditworthiness of the issuer, the securities were reclassified from Held to
Maturity to Available for Sale in 2001.
For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, proceeds from sales of

In 2001, the Bank sold the consumer portion of its credit card loan
portfolio. The amount of loans sold was $6,813,000 and the gain recognized on
the sale of these loans was $409,000. Also in 2001, the Bank sold a portion
of its commercial lease loans. The amount of loans sold was $17,630,000 and
the gain on the sale of these loans was $309,000. The gains on these sales
are included in other non-interest income. The Allowance for Loan Losses on
these loans sold was $410,000. The Bank allocated this amount to the
remainder of the loan portfolio.
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 $17,451,000 and $11,552,000 at December
31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In 2003, new loans and other additions
amounted to $14,489,000, and
29
repayments and other reductions amounted to $8,590,000. 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 $157,868,000 and $167,636,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002,
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):
2003 2002 2001
-------- -------- --------
Balance beginning of year $ 12,400 $ 13,000 $ 10,600

Recoveries 778 1,996 1,164
-------- -------- --------
Balance end of year $ 14,500 $ 12,400 $ 13,000
======== ======== ========
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.

(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
$33,780,000 at December 31, 2003 and $16,985,000 at December 31, 2002. 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.
30
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,
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.
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. The Bank expects to recover in full the
premium paid by it from the Bank's portion of the policy's death benefits. If
Mr. LaBeau dies before age 65 while in active service to the Bank, his
beneficiaries will receive life insurance proceeds of $958,837. If he dies
after retirement, his beneficiaries will receive any payments to which Mr.
LaBeau would have been entitled under the Salary Continuation Agreement, but
none of the life insurance proceeds.
The contractual entitlements under the Salary Continuation Agreement are not
funded. These contractual entitlements remain contractual liabilities of
Monroe Bank & Trust, payable upon Mr. LaBeau's termination of employment. 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 Operating Officer of the Bank on July 1, 2003.
This agreement provides that the Bank will pay an annual salary continuation
benefit of $65,700 to Mr. Chaffin or his designated beneficiaries for 10
years after his retirement on or after reaching the normal retirement age of
65.
EXECUTIVE GROUP TERM CARVE OUT SPLIT-DOLLAR LIFE INSURANCE AGREEMENTS
In addition to insurance policies on the lives of the directors and the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 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 2003 amounted to $3,066,000, as compared with $3,998,000 in 2002, and
$10,749,000 in 2001. At December 31, 2003, the balance of time certificates
of deposit of $100,000 or more was $115,654,000, as compared with
$119,369,000 at December 31, 2002. The amount of time deposits with a
remaining term of more than 1 year was $183,060,000 at December 31, 2003 and
$179,889,000 at December 31, 2002. All time deposits have a remaining term of
less than 5 years. The following table shows the scheduled maturities of
Certificates of Deposit as of December 31, 2003:

(9) FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES
As of December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, 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 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%. The remaining five advances, totaling $95,000,000, are floating
rate loans that float quarterly at rates ranging from 3 month LIBOR plus
2.06% to 3 month LIBOR plus 2.60%. These advances are non-putable and no
principal payments are required until the final maturities in 2013.
(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 $12,000 in 2003. 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 $1,012,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2003, $915,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, and
$801,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. This included profit sharing
contributions of two percent in 2003 and three percent in 2002 and 2001.
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 $95,000 in
2003, $84,000 in 2002, and $71,000 in 2001. 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

2003 2002
------- -------

===== ===== =====
The APBO as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 was calculated using assumed
discount rates of 6.25% and 6.75%, respectively. Health care and prescription
costs were assumed to rise 8.00% and 12.00%, respectively, in 2004, with the
assumed rates of increase decreasing uniformly each year thereafter to a
minimum of 5.50% in 2008 and thereafter. To illustrate the significance of
these assumptions, a rise in the assumed rate of health care cost increases
of 1.00% each year would change the APBO as of December 31, 2003 by 0.40%, or
$8,087.

(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, 2003 and 2002.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Fair value for the Bank's investment securities was determined using the
market value at December 31, 2003 and 2002. These Estimated Market Values are
disclosed in Note 3.
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. The estimated fair value of loans at December 31, 2003,
net of the allowance for loan losses, is $865,427,000, compared to the
carrying value of $849,350,000. The estimated fair value of loans at December
31, 2002, net of the allowance for loan losses, was $788,731,000, compared to
the carrying value of $761,405,000.
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,
2003 is $348,255,000, compared to the carrying value of $337,472,000. The
estimated fair value of other time deposits at December 31, 2002 was
$358,887,000, compared to the carrying value of $347,416,000.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES
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, 2003 is
$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 is
$95,000,000. The estimated fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank advances at
December 31, 2002 was $260,257,000, compared to the carrying value of
$225,000,000.
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.
The provision for Federal income taxes consists of the following (000s

(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, 2003, 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, 2003 that Management believes have
changed the Corporation's category. Management believes, as of December 31,
2003, that the Corporation meets all capital adequacy requirements to which
it is subject.

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, 2003, Bank funds available for
loans to the Corporation amounted to $15,841,000. 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
2003 2002
-------- --------
Commitments to extend credit:
Unused portion of commercial lines of credit $118,339 $ 97,402
Unused portion of credit card lines of credit 9,828 10,018
Unused portion of home equity lines of credit 16,907 16,953
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written 18,764 17,320
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 $16,037,000 of
the letters of credit expires in 2004 and $2,727,000 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.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure
On April 18, 2002, the Board of Directors of MBT Financial Corp. (the
"Corporation"), upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee, dismissed Arthur
Andersen LLP as the Corporation's independent public accountants and appointed
Plante & Moran, PLLC as its new independent public accountants for 2002. This
was disclosed in Form 8-K/A filed on April 30, 2002.
Item 9A. 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
Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2003, 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 December 31, 2003, in timely
alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its
consolidated subsidiaries) required to be in the Company's periodic SEC filings.
There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the Company's fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003, that
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.
