NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Corporation's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2003. NOTE 2 COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE The net income per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding as adjusted for the 10% stock dividend paid February 19, 2004, were 4,856,051 and 4,796,990 for the nine month periods ending September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Corporation has no common stock equivalents and, accordingly, presents only basic earnings per share. NOTE 3 RECLASSIFICATION OF LOANS Various loan category amounts as of December 31, 2003 have been reclassified for consistency with the September 30, 2004 consolidated balance sheet presentation as follows (Dollars in Thousands): December 31, 2003 As As Loan Category Reclassified Originally Reported - ------------- ------------ ------------------- Agricultural $ 50,548 $ 50,548 Commercial 141,312 149,931 Real estate mortgage 176,828 157,598 Installment 53,171 63,782 -------- -------- $421,859 $421,859 ======== ======== The reclassifications have no effect on total loans or any other financial statement measure as of December 31, 2003 or for the year then ended. NOTE 4 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In 2003, the Emerging Issues Task force (EITF) released Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other - Than-Temporary Impairment and It's Applications to Certain Investments, which provides guidance for reporting equity securities whose fair value is not readily determinable (that is, 8 equity securities that are outside the scope of FASB Statement No. 115) if those securities are reported at cost. Issue No. 03-1 refers to those equity securities as cost method investments. Issue No. 03-1 describes the three steps a financial institution should take to assess whether a cost method investment is impaired and, if it is, whether a loss should be recognized. The recognition and measurement requirements of Issue No. 03-1 are effective for the third quarter ended September 30, 2004. The Corporation believes the impact on the carrying value of its investments in implementing Issue No. 03-1 was not significant. ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following is management's discussion and analysis of the major factors that influenced IBT Bancorp's financial performance. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's 2003 annual report and with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, as set forth on pages 3 through 8 of this report. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The Corporation's significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Corporation's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2003. Of these significant accounting policies, the Corporation considers its policies regarding the allowance for loan losses and carrying values of servicing assets to be its most critical accounting policies. The allowance for loan losses requires management's most subjective and complex judgment. Changes in economic conditions can have a significant impact on the allowance for loan losses and therefore the provision for loan losses and results of operations. The Corporation has developed appropriate policies and procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, recognizing that this process requires a number of assumptions and estimates with respect to its loan portfolio. The Corporation's assessments may be impacted in future periods by changes in economic conditions, the impact of regulatory examinations, and the discovery of information with respect to borrowers which is not known to management at the time of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. For additional discussion concerning the Corporation's allowance for loan losses and related matters, see Provision for Loan Losses and Allowance for Loan Losses in the Corporation's 2003 Annual Report and herein. Servicing assets are recognized when loans are sold with servicing retained. Mortgage servicing rights (MSR's) are assets which are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated future net servicing income. Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights by predominate characteristics, such as interest rates and terms. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual stratum, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the stratum. 9 NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income equaled $4.98 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, verses $5.98 million in 2003. Return on average assets, which measures the ability of the Corporation to profitably and efficiently employ its resources, was 0.98% for the first nine months of 2004 and 1.21% in 2003. Return on average equity, which indicates how effectively the Corporation is able to generate earnings on shareholder invested capital, equaled 9.48% through September 30, 2004 versus 12.56% for the same period in 2003.

VOLUME AND RATE VARIANCE ANALYSIS (Dollars in Thousands) The following table sets forth the effect of volume and rate changes on interest income and expense for the periods indicated. For the purpose of this table, changes in interest due to volume and rate were determined as follows: Volume Variance - change in volume multiplied by the previous year's rate. Rate Variance - change in the fully taxable equivalent (FTE) rate multiplied by the prior year's volume. The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Interest income includes loan fees of $854 million in the first nine months of 2004 versus $1.65 million for the same period in 2003. For analytical purposes, net interest income is adjusted to a "taxable equivalent" basis by adding the income tax savings from interest on tax-exempt loans and securities, thus making year-to-year comparisons more meaningful. As shown in Tables number 1 and 2, when comparing the nine month period ending September 30, 2004 to the same period in 2003, fully taxable equivalent (FTE) net interest income decreased $284,000 or 1.5%. An increase of 3.2% in average interest earning assets provided $1.8 million of FTE interest income. The majority of this increase was funded by a 2.0% increase in interest bearing deposits and borrowed funds, resulting in an increase in interest expense of $88,000. Overall, changes in volume resulted in $1.7 million of additional FTE interest income. The average FTE interest rate earned on assets decreased by 0.66%, decreasing FTE interest income by $3.9 million and the average rate paid on deposits and other borrowings decreased by 0.50%, decreasing interest expense by $1.9 million. The change in interest rates earned and paid decreased FTE net interest income by $2.0 million. The Corporation's FTE net interest yield as a percentage of average earning assets equaled 3.96% during the first nine months of 2004 versus 4.15% in 2003. Average loans outstanding increased from 66.9% of average earning assets in the first nine months of 2003 to 70.4% in 2004. The 0.19% decrease in the FTE interest margin was primarily a result of the average rate earned on earning assets rising slower than the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The viability of any financial institution is ultimately determined by its management of credit risk. Net loans outstanding represent 66.25% of the Corporation's total assets and is the Corporation's single largest concentration of risk. The allowance for loan losses is management's estimation of potential future losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio. Factors used to evaluate the loan portfolio, and thus to determine the current charge to expense, include recent loan loss history, financial condition of borrowers, amount of nonperforming and impaired loans, overall economic conditions, and other factors. Comparing the year to date period of September 30, 2004 to September 30, 2003, the provision for loan losses was decreased by $182,000 to $585,000, due to declines in net charge offs and nonperforming loans. Year to date, the Corporation had net charge-offs of $115,000 verses to $327,000 in 2003. Loans classified as nonperforming were 0.80% of loans as of September 30, 2004 versus 0.85% for September 30, 2003. The Corporation's peer group, which includes 255 holding companies with assets between $500 million and $1.0 billion, had nonperforming loans to total loans ratio of 0.63% as of June 30, 2004. As of September 30, 2004 the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans equaled 1.50%. In management's opinion, the allowance for loan losses is adequate as of September 30, 2004. 14 NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income consists of trust fees, deposit service charges, fees for other financial services, gains on the sale of mortgage loans sold, title insurance revenue, and gains and losses on investment securities available for sale. There was a $2.6 million decrease in fees earned from these sources during the nine months of 2004 when compared to the same period in 2003. The majority of the decrease in noninterest income is related to a significant decrease in mortgage activity which slowed substantially during 2004 when compared to the first nine months of 2003 causing a decrease in mortgage related fee income. Significant individual account changes during this period include a $605,000 decrease in title insurance revenue and related services, a $1.6 million decrease in gains on the sale of mortgage loans, and a $750,000 decrease in residential mortgage servicing income offset by a $284,000 increase in overdraft charges. The Corporation has established a policy that all 30 year amortized fixed rate mortgage loans will be sold. The calculation of gains on the sale of mortgages excludes at least 25 basis points allocated to the value of servicing rights on these loans. Included in other operating income is a $391,000 gain from the sale of $48 million in mortgages during the first nine months of 2004 versus a $2.0 million gain on the sale of $192 million in mortgages for the same period in 2003. Included in other assets is $10.3 million in cash value of corporate owned life insurance policies. The increase in cash value of these policies of $317,000 and $350,000 during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 respectively is recorded as other income. These policies earned an average rate of 4.13% and, due to their preferential tax treatment, have a taxable equivalent rate of 6.26%. These policies are placed with four different insurance companies with an S & P rating of AA+ or better. NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense decreased $1.2 million or 6.8% during the first nine months of 2004 when compared to 2003. The largest component of noninterest expense is compensation expense, which decreased $65,000. While there were normal merit and promotional salary increases, the net decrease is related to the reduction in compensation related to the decline in mortgage loan activity. Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses decreased $180,000 or 5.8% in 2004. The majority of this decrease is related to depreciation due to the write-off of disposed and/or obsolete assets in 2003. Other expenses decreased by $967,000 or 20.6%. The decrease is primarily related to a $1 million decrease in charitable donations to IBT Foundation (see "Financial Instruments with Off Balance Sheet Arrangements"). Due to the overall decline in income, the Corporation did not make contributions to the IBT Foundation in the first nine months of 2004. 15 QUARTERS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income equaled $1.75 million for the third quarter in 2004 compared to $2.09 million in 2003. Return on average assets equaled 1.04% for the third quarter in 2004 verses 1.26% in 2003. Return on average equity equaled 9.85% for the third quarter in 2004 versus 13.30% for the third quarter in 2003. SUMMARY OF SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA (Dollars in thousands except per share data) Quarter Ended September 30 ------------------------- 2004 2003 ------------------------- INCOME STATEMENT DATA Net interest income $ 5,853 $ 5,965 Provision for loan losses 120 222 Net income 1,749 2,085 PER SHARE DATA Net income per common share $ 0.36 $ 0.43 Cash dividends per common share 0.11 0.10 RATIOS Average primary capital to average assets 11.51% 10.28% Net income to average assets 1.04 1.26 Net income to average equity 9.85 13.30 NET INTEREST INCOME When comparing the third quarter of 2004 to 2003, net FTE interest income decreased $105,000. An increase of 2.1% in average interest earning assets provided $457,000 of FTE interest income. During the third quarter of 2004, the average FTE interest rate earned on assets decreased by 0.53% and the average rate paid on deposits and borrowed funds decreased by 0.39%. The changes in interest rates earned and paid resulted in a $567,000 decrease in net FTE interest income. The Corporation's FTE net interest yield as a percentage of average earning assets decreased 0.15% to 4% when comparing the third quarter of 2004 to the same period in 2003. The primary factor for the decrease was the average rate earned on earning assets rising slower than the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. 16 TABLE 4 IBT BANCORP, INC. AVERAGE BALANCES; INTEREST RATE AND NET INTEREST INCOME (Dollars in Thousands) The following schedules present the daily average amount outstanding for each major category of interest earning assets, nonearning assets, interest bearing liabilities, and noninterest bearing liabilities. This schedule also presents an analysis of interest income and interest expense for the periods indicated. All interest income is reported on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis using a 34% tax rate. Nonaccruing loans, for the purpose of the following computations, are included in the average loan amounts outstanding. Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank restricted equity holdings are included in other investments.

VOLUME AND RATE VARIANCE ANALYSIS (Dollars in Thousands) The following table sets forth the effect of volume and rate changes on interest income and expenses for the periods indicated. For the purpose of this table, changes in interest due to volume and rate were determined as follows: Volume Variance - change in volume multiplied by the previous year's rate. Rate Variance - change in the fully taxable equivalent (FTE) rate multiplied by the prior year's volume. The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

During the third quarter of 2004, the Corporation had net charge-offs of $19,000 versus $233,000 during the same period of 2003. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans was 1.50% as of September 30, 2004 a 0.06% increase since September 30, 2003. 18 NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income earned in the third quarter of 2004, when compared to the same period in 2003, decreased $828,000 or 28.6%. The most significant changes consisted of a $370,000 decrease in the gain on sale of mortgage loans, a decrease of $247,000 in title and abstract revenue, and a $217,000 decrease in residential mortgage servicing income, all due to a significant decline in residential mortgage loan activity in 2004. NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense decreased $307,000 or 5.3% during the third quarter of 2004 when compared to 2003. Noninterest expense includes compensation expense, occupancy, and other operating expenses. The largest component of noninterest expense is compensation, which decreased $239,000 or 6.8%. While there were normal merit and promotional salary increases, the net decrease is related to the reduction in compensation related to the decline in mortgage loan activity. Furniture and equipment expenses decreased $248,000 or 29.0% in the third quarter of 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The decrease is related to depreciation due to the write-off of disposed and/or obsolete assets in the third quarter of 2003. ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION Since December 31, 2003, total assets decreased $1.8 million to $662 million. As of September 30, 2004, total loans increased $23.6 million, cash and demand deposits due from banks decreased $7.9 million, federal funds sold decreased $5.3 million, investment securities decreased $12.0 million, and other assets increased $3.5 million. Deposits during this period decreased $10.7 million, borrowed funds increased $4.9 million and shareholders' equity increased $3.2 million. LIQUIDITY Liquidity management is designed to have adequate resources available to meet depositor and borrower discretionary demands for funds. Liquidity is also required to fund expanding operations, investment opportunities, and the payment of cash dividends. The primary sources of the Corporation's liquidity are cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale investment securities. As of September 30, 2004, cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of total assets equaled 2.7%, versus 4.7% as of December 31, 2003. During the first nine months of 2004, $11.1 million in net cash was provided from operations, while $6.5 million was used in financing activities and investing activities used $17.9 million. The accumulated effect of the Corporation's operating, investing, and financing activities was a $13.2 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the first nine months of 2004. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, investment securities available for sale are another source of liquidity. Securities available for sale equaled $159 million as of September 30, 2004 and $170 million as of December 31, 2003. In addition to these primary sources of liquidity, the 19 Corporation has the ability to borrow in the federal funds market and at both the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Corporation's liquidity is considered adequate by the management of the Corporation. CAPITAL The capital of the Corporation consists solely of common stock, retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income; and increased approximately $3.2 million since December 31, 2003. Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased $1.1 million due to an increase in unrealized depreciation on available-for-sale securities during 2004. There are no significant capital regulatory constraints placed on the Corporation's capital. The Federal Reserve Board's current recommended minimum tier 1 and tier 2 average assets requirement is 6.0%. The Corporation's tier 1 and tier 2 capital to assets, which consists of shareholders' equity plus the allowance for loan losses, less unamortized acquisition intangible, was 11.18% at September 30, 2004. The Federal Reserve Board has established a minimum risk based capital standard. Under this standard, a framework has been established that assigns risk weights to each category of on- and off-balance sheet items to arrive at risk adjusted total assets. Regulatory capital is divided by the risk adjusted assets with the resulting ratio compared to the minimum standard to determine whether a bank has adequate capital. The minimum standard is 8%, of which at least 4% must consist of equity capital net of goodwill. The following table sets forth the percentages required under the Risk Based Capital guidelines and the Corporation's ratios as of September 30, 2004: PERCENTAGE OF CAPITAL TO RISK ADJUSTED ASSETS IBT Bancorp September 30, 2004 Required Actual -------- ------ Equity Capital 4.00% 15.71% Secondary Capital* 4.00 1.25 ---- ------ Total Capital 8.00% 16.96% * IBT Bancorp's secondary capital consists solely of the allowance for loan losses. The percentage for the secondary capital under the required column is the maximum allowed from all sources. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS The Corporation is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. These instruments are entered into in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments, which include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Corporation has in a particular class of financial instruments. 20 The Corporation's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in deciding to make these commitments as it does for extending loans to customers. Commitments to extend credit, which totaled $63.8 million at September 30, 2004, are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have variable interest rates, fixed expiration dates, or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. At September 30, 2004, the Corporation had a total of $928,000 in outstanding standby letters of credit. Generally, these commitments to extend credit and letters of credit mature within one year. The credit risk involved in these transactions is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Corporation evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Corporation upon the extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and other income producing commercial properties. The Corporation sponsors the IBT Foundation (the "Foundation"), which is a nonprofit entity formed for the purpose of distributing charitable donations to recipient organizations generally located in the communities serviced by Isabella Bank and Trust. The Corporation periodically makes charitable contributions in the form of cash transfers to the Foundation. The Foundation is administered by members of the Corporation's Board of Directors. The assets and transactions of the Foundation are not included in the consolidated financial statements of IBT Bancorp, Inc. The assets of the Foundation as of September 30, 2004 approximated $1.9 million. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Corporation intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Corporation, are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," or similar expressions. The Corporation's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the 21 Corporation and the subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, changes in: interest rates, general economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in the Corporation's market area, and accounting principles, policies and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Further information concerning the Corporation and its business, including additional factors that could materially affect the Corporation's financial results, is included in the Corporation's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Corporation's primary market risks are interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. The Corporation has no foreign exchange risk, holds limited loans outstanding to oil and gas concerns, and holds no trading account assets, nor does it utilize interest rate swaps or derivatives in the management of its interest rate risk. The Corporation does have a significant amount of loans extended to borrowers in agricultural production. Their cash flow and their ability to service their debt is largely dependent on the commodity prices for corn, soybeans, sugar beets, milk, beef and a variety of dry beans. The Corporation mitigates these risks by using conservative price and production yields when calculating a borrower's available cash flow to service their debt. Interest rate risk ("IRR") is the exposure to the Corporation's net interest income, its primary source of income, to changes in interest rates. IRR results from the difference in the maturity or repricing frequency of a financial institution's interest earning assets and its interest bearing liabilities. Interest rate risk is the fundamental method in which financial institutions earn income and create shareholder value. Excessive exposure to interest rate risk could pose a significant risk to the Corporation's earnings and capital. The Federal Reserve, the Corporation's primary Federal regulator, has adopted a policy requiring the Board of Directors and senior management to effectively manage the various risks that can have a material impact on the safety and soundness of the Corporation. The risks include credit, interest rate, liquidity, operational, and reputational. The Corporation has policies, procedures and internal controls for measuring and managing these risks. Specifically, the IRR policy and procedures include defining acceptable types and terms of investments and funding sources, liquidity requirements, limits on investments in long term assets, limiting the mismatch in repricing opportunity of assets and liabilities, and the frequency of measuring and reporting to the Board of Directors. The Corporation uses several techniques to manage interest rate risk. The first method is gap analysis. Gap analysis measures the cash flows and/or the earliest repricing of the Corporation's interest bearing assets and liabilities. This analysis is useful for measuring trends in the repricing characteristics of the balance sheet. Significant assumptions are required in this process because of the imbedded repricing options contained in assets and liabilities. A substantial portion of the Corporation's assets are invested in loans and mortgage backed securities. These assets have imbedded options that allow the borrower to repay the balance prior to maturity without penalty. 22 The amount of prepayments is dependent upon many factors, including the interest rate of a given loan in comparison to the current interest rates, for residential mortgages the level of sales of used homes, and the overall availability of credit in the market place. Generally, a decrease in interest rates will result in an increase in the Corporation's cash flows from these assets. Investment securities, other than those that are callable, do not have any significant imbedded options. Saving and checking deposits may generally be withdrawn on request without prior notice. The timing of cash flow from these deposits is estimated based on historical experience. Time deposits have penalties which discourage early withdrawals. The second technique used in the management of interest rate risk is to combine the projected cash flows and repricing characteristics generated by the gap analysis and the interest rates associated with those cash flows and projected future interest income. By changing the amount and timing of the cash flows and the repricing interest rates of those cash flows, the Corporation can project the effect of changing interest rates on its interest income. The following table provides information about the Corporation's assets and liabilities that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of September 30, 2004. The Corporation has no interest rate swaps, futures contracts, or other derivative financial options. The principal amounts of assets and time deposits maturing were calculated based on the contractual maturity dates. Savings and NOW accounts are based on management's estimate of their future cash flows. 23 Quantitative Disclosures of Market Risk (Dollars in Thousands) September 30 Fair Value ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Thereafter Total 09/30/04 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rate sensitive assets Other interest bearing assets $ 199 $ 199 $ 199 Average interest rates 3.79% 3.79% Fixed interest rate securities $ 53,945 $20,565 $30,732 $16,794 $ 7,623 $29,504 $159,163 $159,168 Average interest rates 3.59% 3.49% 2.93% 3.29% 3.55% 3.46% 3.39% Fixed interest rate loans $ 70,017 $50,600 $69,429 $56,102 $65,646 $43,284 $355,078 $355,757 Average interest rates 6.54% 6.58% 5.97% 6.25% 5.72% 4.88% 6.03% Variable interest rate loans $ 43,260 $10,475 $15,323 $10,868 $ 8,427 $ 3,081 $ 91,434 $ 91,434 Average interest rates 6.30% 4.78% 5.02% 5.52% 5.64% 6.31% 5.76% Rate sensitive liabilities Borrowed funds $ 673 $ 8,527 $ 1,029 $ 32 $ 3,534 $ 9,191 $ 22,986 $ 23,105 Average interest rates 6.62% 3.97% 3.54% 6.22% 3.69% 5.13% 4.45% Savings and NOW accounts $158,951 $23,175 $18,893 $13,351 $ 9,824 $27,709 $251,903 $251,903 Average interest rates 0.58% 0.56% 0.54% 0.57% 0.54% 0.43% 0.56% Fixed interest rate time deposits $116,850 $43,323 $37,085 $20,613 $10,729 $ 3,221 $231,821 $232,542 Average interest rates 2.78% 4.00% 4.20% 3.62% 3.18% 4.40% 3.35% Variable interest rate time deposits $ 1,316 $ 2,033 $ 6 $ 408 $ 126 $ 3,889 $ 3,889 Average interest rates 2.70% 5.45% 1.44% 5.22% 3.70% 4.43% Quantitative Disclosures of Market Risk September 30 Fair Value ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Thereafter Total 09/30/03 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rate sensitive assets Other interest bearing assets $ 1,350 $ 199 --- --- --- --- $ 1,549 $ 1,549 Average interest rates 1.26% 2.67% --- --- --- --- 1.26% Fixed interest rate securities $ 65,459 $34,077 $21,948 $13,648 $ 6,017 $43,241 $184,390 $184,432 Average interest rates 4.00% 3.77% 3.32% 4.06% 4.17% 4.76% 4.01% Fixed interest rate loans $ 97,017 $76,034 $66,618 $24,177 $38,806 $27,972 $330,624 $329,445 Average interest rates 6.83% 7.06% 6.47% 6.77% 6.27% 5.11% 6.60% Variable interest rate loans $ 60,061 $ 7,481 $ 6,388 $4,052 $ 7,548 $ 1,919 $ 87,449 $ 87,449 Average interest rates 5.60% 5.57% 5.50% 5.58% 5.23% 4.85% 5.54% Rate sensitive liabilities Borrowed funds $ 19,313 $ 1,080 $ 5,084 $ 90 $ 33 $10,191 $ 35,791 $ 35,445 Average interest rates 1.24% 5.05% 5.08% 5.08% 6.62% 5.02% 2.99% Savings and NOW accounts $148,441 $21,010 $17,090 $14,052 $13,018 $34,562 $248,173 $248,173 Average interest rates 0.90% 1.10% 1.25% 1.13% 0.82% 0.72% 0.92% Fixed interest rate time deposits $116,200 $46,090 $30,672 $30,656 $14,498 $ 129 $238,245 $236,861 Average interest rates 2.66% 4.86% 4.77% 4.53% 4.02% 7.90% 3.68% Variable interest rate time deposits $ 958 $ 545 --- $ 128 $ 519 --- $ 2,150 $ 2,150 Average interest rates 1.24% 1.24% --- --- 3.57% --- 1.73% 24 ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures - The term "disclosure controls and procedures" is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation's management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2004. Based on that evaluation, the Corporation's management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2004. (b)Changes in Internal Controls - The Corporation also conducted an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the period ended September 30, 2004, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, there has been no such change during the period that ended September 30, 2004.
