NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MBT Financial Corp. (the "Corporation") and its subsidiary, Monroe Bank & Trust (the "Bank"). The Bank includes the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, MBT Credit Company, Inc. and MB&T Financial Services, Inc. The Bank operates twenty branches in Monroe County, Michigan and five branches in Wayne County, Michigan. MBT Credit Company, Inc. operates a mortgage loan office in Monroe County. The Bank's primary source of revenue is from providing loans to customers, who are predominantly small and middle-market businesses and middle-income individuals. The 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 accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of Management, necessary for fair statement of results for the interim periods. The significant accounting policies are as follows: PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiary. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. 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. BUSINESS SEGMENTS While the Corporation's chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Corporation's operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable segment. 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. -7- MBT FINANCIAL CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) The Company's as reported and pro forma earnings information for the quarter and nine months ended September 30 were as follows: Three Months Ended Sept. 30, Nine Months Ended Sept. 30, ---------------------------- --------------------------- 2005 2004 2005 2004 ------ ------ ------- ------- Dollars in thousands, except per share data Net Income as Reported $2,571 $6,109 $12,819 $17,157 Pro Forma Adjustment Due to Stock Options (115) (64) (345) (302) ------ ------ ------- ------- Pro Forma Net Income $2,456 $6,045 $12,474 $16,855 ====== ====== ======= ======= Earnings per Share as Reported Basic $ 0.15 $ 0.35 $ 0.74 $ 0.98 Diluted $ 0.15 $ 0.35 $ 0.74 $ 0.98 Pro Forma Earnings per Share Basic $ 0.14 $ 0.34 $ 0.72 $ 0.97 Diluted $ 0.14 $ 0.34 $ 0.71 $ 0.96 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 $5.38 in 2005 and $3.84 in 2004. 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: expected option lives of seven years for both years; expected volatility of 20.8% in 2005 and 25.3% in 2004; and risk-free interest rates of 3.8% in 2005 and 2004. 2.

LOANS The Bank grants commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans primarily to customers in Monroe County, Michigan, southern Wayne County, Michigan, and surrounding areas. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is dependent on the automotive, manufacturing, and real estate development economic sectors. -9- MBT FINANCIAL CORP.

All loan relationships over $250,000 that are classified by Management as nonperforming are reviewed for impairment. Allowances for loans determined to be impaired are included in the allowance for loan losses. All cash received on nonaccrual loans is applied to the principal balance. Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more past due, restructured loans, real estate that has been acquired in full or partial satisfaction of loan obligations or upon foreclosure, and investment securities that are 90 days or more past due on the interest or principal payments. The following table summarizes nonperforming assets (000's omitted): September 30, December 31, 2005 2004 ------------- ------------ Nonaccrual loans $14,872 $29,015 Loans 90 days past due 100 230 Restructured loans 2,731 3,715 ------- ------- Total nonperforming loans $17,703 $32,960 Other real estate owned 8,894 6,958 ------- ------- Total nonperforming assets $26,597 $39,918 ======= ======= Nonperforming assets to total assets 1.65% 2.57% Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming assets 47.24% 34.57% -10- MBT FINANCIAL CORP.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Activity in the allowance for loan losses was as follows (000's omitted): September 30, December 31, 2005 2004 ------------- ------------ Balance beginning of year $13,800 $14,500 Provision for loan losses 5,300 2,491 Loans charged off (7,917) (4,447) Transfer to establish reserve for unfunded loan commitments (275) -- Recoveries 1,657 1,256 ------- ------- Balance end of period $12,565 $13,800 ======= ======= For each period, the provision for loan losses in the income statement is based on Management's estimate of the amount required to maintain an adequate Allowance for Loan Losses. To serve as a basis for making this provision, the Bank maintains an extensive credit risk monitoring process that considers several factors including: current economic conditions affecting the Bank's customers, the payment performance of individual loans and pools of homogeneous loans, portfolio seasoning, changes in collateral values, and detailed reviews of specific loan relationships. For loans deemed to be impaired due to an expectation that all contractual payments will probably not be received, impairment is measured by comparing the Bank's recorded investment in the loan to the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral, or the loan's observable market price. The provision for loan losses increases the Allowance for Loan Losses, a valuation account which is netted against loans on the consolidated statements of condition. When it is determined that a customer will not repay a loan, the loan is charged off, reducing the Allowance for Loan Losses. If, subsequent to a charge off, the Bank is able to collect additional amounts from the customer or sell collateral worth more than earlier estimated, a recovery is recorded. -11- MBT FINANCIAL CORP.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of condition. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for its other lending activities. -12- MBT FINANCIAL CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) Financial instruments whose contractual amounts represent off-balance sheet credit risk were as follows (000s omitted): CONTRACTUAL AMOUNT ---------------------------- SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 2005 2004 ------------- ------------ Commitments to extend credit: Unused portion of commercial lines of credit $122,851 $123,739 Unused portion of credit card lines of credit 7,221 7,265 Unused portion of home equity lines of credit 21,958 23,709 Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written 13,862 16,449 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Most commercial lines of credit are secured by real estate mortgages or other collateral, and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since the lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Credit card lines of credit have various established expiration dates, but are fundable on demand. Home equity lines of credit are secured by real estate mortgages, a majority of which have ten year expiration dates, but are fundable on demand. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of the collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on Management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and other business transactions. -13- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General MBT Financial Corp. (the "Company) is a bank holding company with one subsidiary, Monroe Bank & Trust ("the Bank"). The Bank is a commercial bank with two wholly owned subsidiaries, MBT Credit Company, Inc. and MB&T Financial Services. MBT Credit Company, Inc. conducts lending operations for the Bank and MB&T Financial Services is an insurance agency which sells insurance policies to the Bank. At the end of the third quarter of 2005, the Bank closed its Frenchtown Mall branch. The Bank now operates 20 branch offices in Monroe County, Michigan and 5 offices in Wayne County, Michigan. The Bank's primary source of income is interest income on its loans and investments and its primary expense is interest expense on its deposits and borrowings. 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. The Corporation does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. Financial Condition During the first nine months of 2005, the Bank's deposits increased $44.7 million, or 4.1%. This growth occurred as the Bank increased its use of brokered certificates of deposit from $39.2 million as of December 31, 2004 to $64.7 million as of September 30, 2005. The brokered deposits that were added have original maturities ranging from 6 months to 5 years, with a weighted average maturity of 2.4 years. These deposits were obtained in order to extend the duration of the Bank's liabilities as part of the Bank's interest rate risk management strategy. The remaining $19.2 million of deposit growth was generated in the Bank's existing markets. Since December 31, 2004, total loans increased $27.1 million (2.9%), total cash and investments increased $22.6 million (4.1%), and total assets increased $58.0 million (3.7%). Loan growth was restricted by the Bank's efforts to reduce non performing loans, which decreased $15.3 million. Also, the Bank sold $7 million of fixed rate mortgage loans in the second quarter of 2005 in order to shorten the duration of the Bank's assets as a part of its interest rate risk management strategy. In addition to the deposit growth, the asset growth was funded by an increase of $15.2 million, or 5.3% in borrowed funds. The loan pipeline increased during the first three quarters of 2005 and loan growth is expected to increase in the fourth quarter and continue into 2006. -14- The Bank has continued its effort to expand into the southern Wayne County, Michigan market, opening its fifth Wayne County branch in the second quarter of 2005. Deposits in this market now exceed $80 million and approximately one half of our commercial loan volume is generated in Wayne County. The quality of the loan portfolio is continuing to improve. Nonperforming assets ("NPAs") decreased $13.3 million or 33.4% since year end, in part due to net charge off of $6.3 million. Also, improved lending practices and underwriting standards have resulted in a reduction of the amount of new NPAs being added. Furthermore, we have reduced the amount of automobile and other loans to individuals and increased the amount of residential mortgage loans, including home equity loans. The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL) decreased $1.2 million since December 31, 2004 and is now 1.29% of loans, compared to 1.46% at year end. Due to the reduction of NPAs, the ALLL is now 47.24% of NPAs, an improvement of 12.67% from year end. Because a significant portion of the Bank's lending is secured by real estate, we believe that at this level the ALLL adequately estimates the losses in the loan portfolio. We expect asset quality to gradually improve over the next several quarters. Results of Operations - Third Quarter 2005 vs. Third Quarter 2004 Net Interest Income - A comparison of the income statements for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 shows a decrease of $514,000, or 3.8% in Net Interest Income. Interest income on loans increased $2.0 million or 11.7% as the average loans outstanding increased $34.9 million and the average yield on loans increased from 6.34% to 6.89%. Interest income on investments and fed funds sold increased $480,000 as the average amount of investments and fed funds sold increased $23.1 million and the yield on these assets increased from 4.60% to 4.74%. The yields on assets increased slightly due to the increases in market interest rates. The shorter term market interest rates increased more rapidly than the longer term rates, which caused funding costs to rise faster than asset yields. The interest expense on deposits increased $2.3 million, or 59.3% as average deposits increased $77.1 million and the average cost of those deposits increased from 1.46% to 2.16%. The cost of borrowed funds increased $633,000 as the average amount of borrowed funds decreased $18.7 million while the average cost of the borrowings increased from 4.07% to 5.17%. The fed rate increases that began late in the second quarter of 2004 and continued through the third quarter of 2005 had a positive impact on our income as our loan portfolio contains approximately $275 million of variable rate, prime indexed loans and our investment portfolio contains about $50 million in LIBOR based floating rate securities. The increase in interest rates only affected short term rates, and this flattening of the yield curve prevented our loan and investment yields from increasing more. Provision for Loan Losses - The Provision for Loan Losses increased significantly in the third quarter of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. Each quarter, the Bank conducts a review and analysis of its ALLL. This analysis involves specific allocations for impaired credits and a general allocation for losses expected based on historical experience adjusted for current conditions. Management's concern about the strength of the regional economy and local real estate values prompted a decision to increase our provision expense from $600,000 to $4.1 million during the third quarter of 2005. This action was not taken as a response to a deterioration of any specific credit relationships. We believe that we will be able to return to our previous provision amount in the fourth quarter unless the regional economic conditions worsen. Other Income - Non interest income for the third quarter of 2005 increased $287,000 or 8.5% compared to the same period of 2004. The table below compares the components of Other Income for the two quarters: -15- Quarters Ended --------------------- 9/30/2005 9/30/2004 % Change --------- --------- -------- (Dollars in Thousands) Trust Income $1,045 $ 953 9.7% Deposit Account Service Charges 300 361 -16.9% Other Deposit Account Related Fees 1,255 1,062 18.2% Origination Fees/Gains on Loans Sold 232 131 77.1% Gains (Losses) on Securities Transactions (13) (2) 550.0% BOLI Earnings 276 362 -23.8% Other Income 588 529 11.2% ------ ------ ----- $3,683 $3,396 8.5% Trust Income improved due to improvements in the market values of trust accounts and increases in the fees charged. The decrease in Deposit Account Service Charges was due to the introduction of our free checking product in 2004. The introduction of this product has resulted in an increase in non interest bearing transaction accounts and contributed to the increase in Other Deposit Account Related Fees, which primarily consists of NSF and Stop Payment fees. Origination Fees and Gains on Mortgage Loans Sold increased as the low mortgage rates have kept mortgage loan activity strong. The income from Bank Owned Life Insurance policies decreased as the yields on the policies owned began to decline in the fourth quarter of 2004. Other Expenses - Total non interest expenses increased $1.0 million, or 12.4% compared to the third quarter of 2004. Salaries and Employee Benefits decreased $69,000, or 1.6%, even though the number of full time equivalent employees increased 4.2% from 404 to 421. The decrease in the expense is due to reduction in the incentive compensation accrual. The Bank pays its employees an annual incentive payment based on the Company's earnings performance compared to a goal. Through the third quarter 2005 the projected earnings for the year were below the goal, requiring reversal of $30,000 of previously accrued compensation expense. During the third quarter of 2004, the Bank accrued $266,000 for incentive compensation. As a result, the incentive compensation expense for the quarter decreased $296,000 compared to last year. Occupancy Expense increased $28,000, or 4.0%, compared to the third quarter of 2004. Other Expenses increased $1.0 million or 35.9% primarily due to losses of $789,000 on the sale of Other Real Estate Owned in the third quarter of 2005. Although $660,000 of that loss was on the sale of one unique property outside of the Bank's market area, Management decided to review the carrying values of its remaining OREO properties. This review resulted in the decision to write down the remaining properties by $569,000. Total OREO related expenses for the third quarter of 2005 increased $1.4 million compared to the same period in 2004. Core non interest expenses were consistent with our expectations for the quarter, and we do not expect them to increase significantly in the fourth quarter of 2005. As a result of the above activity, Income Before Provision for Income Taxes decreased $4.7 million, or 56.3%. The Provision for Income Taxes decreased $1.2 million, or 51.9%, and reflects an effective tax rate of 30.0% compared to the effective tax rate of 27.3% in the third quarter of 2004. The increase in the cost of funds, the decrease in tax exempt interest income, and the decrease in BOLI earnings caused the increase in the effective tax rate. Net Income decreased $3.5 million, or 57.9% compared to the third quarter of 2004. Results of Operations - September 30, 2005 YTD vs. September 30, 2004 YTD Net Interest Income - A comparison of the income statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 shows a decrease of $825,000, or 2.1% in Net Interest Income. Interest income on loans increased $5.2 million or 12.2% as the average loans outstanding increased $53.3 million and the average yield on loans increased from 6.26% to 6.64%. Interest income on investments and fed funds sold increased $2.3 million as the average amount of -16- investments and fed funds sold increased $44.4 million and the yield on these assets increased from 4.47% to 4.67%. The yields on assets increased slightly due to the increases in market interest rates. The shorter term market interest rates increased more rapidly than the longer term rates, which caused funding costs to rise faster than asset yields. The interest expense on deposits increased $6.1 million, or 57.3% as average deposits increased $80.3 million and the average cost of those deposits increased from 1.36% to 1.98%. The cost of borrowed funds increased $2.2 million as the average amount of borrowed funds increased $14.1 million while the average cost of the borrowings increased from 4.12% to 4.93%. Provision for Loan Losses - The Provision for Loan Losses increased significantly in the first nine months of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. Management's concern about the strength of the regional economy and local real estate values prompted a decision to increase our provision expense from $1.8 million in 2004 to $5.3 million in 2005. This action was not taken as a response to a deterioration of any specific credit relationships. We expect our provision expense will be approximately $6 million in 2005 and decrease to about $3 million in 2006 unless the regional economic conditions worsen. Other Income - Non interest income for the first three quarters of 2005 increased $810,000 or 8.1% compared to the same period of 2004. The following table compares the components of Other Income for the two periods: Nine Months Ended --------------------- 9/30/2005 9/30/2004 % Change --------- --------- -------- (Dollars in Thousands) Trust Income $ 3,132 $2,688 16.5% Deposit Account Service Charges 908 1,183 -23.2% Other Deposit Account Related Fees 3,423 2,890 18.4% Origination Fees on Loans Sold 537 460 16.7% Gains on Securities Transactions 273 116 135.3% BOLI Earnings 824 1,128 -27.0% Other Income 1,696 1,518 11.7% ------- ------ ----- $10,793 $9,983 8.1% Trust Income improved due to improvements in the market values of trust accounts and increases in the fees charged. The decrease in Deposit Account Service Charges was due to the introduction of our free checking product in the second quarter of 2004. The introduction of this product has resulted in an increase in non interest bearing transaction accounts and contributed to the increase in Other Deposit Account Related Fees, which primarily consists of NSF and Stop Payment fees. Origination Fees and Gains on Mortgage Loans Sold increased as the low mortgage rates have kept mortgage loan activity strong. The income from Bank Owned Life Insurance policies decreased as the yields on the policies owned began to decline in the fourth quarter of 2004. Other Expenses - Total non interest expenses increased $2.1 million, or 8.6% compared to the first three quarters of 2004. Salaries and Employee Benefits increased $496,000, or 3.7%. The average number of full time equivalent employees increased 6.1% from 392 to 416 due to the continued expansion of our branch network into Wayne County. The increase in the compensation expense was less than anticipated due to a reduction in the incentive compensation accrual from $787,000 to $360,000. The Bank pays its employees an annual incentive payment based on the Company's earnings performance compared to a goal. Through the third quarter 2005 the projected earnings for the year were below the goal, requiring a smaller incentive compensation expense. Occupancy Expense increased $315,000, or 14.4%, compared to the first three quarters of 2004 due to the expansion into Wayne County. Also, in the fourth quarter of 2004, the Bank began to accelerate the depreciation of a parking lot that will become the site of -17- its new headquarters building. The new headquarters is expected be completed in the third quarter of 2006. Other Expenses increased $1.2 million or 15.0% primarily due to losses and write downs of Other Real Estate Owned. OREO losses in the first three quarters of 2005 were $1,131,000 compared to $80,000 in the first three quarters of 2004. As a result of the above activity, Income Before Provision for Income Taxes decreased $5.6 million, or 23.7%. The Provision for Income Taxes decreased $1.2 million, or 19.3%, and reflects an effective tax rate of 28.6% compared to the effective tax rate of 27.1% in the first three quarters of 2004. The increase in the cost of funds, the decrease in tax exempt interest income, and the decrease in BOLI earnings caused the increase in the effective tax rate. Net Income decreased $4.3 million, or 25.3% compared to the first three quarters of 2004. Liquidity and Capital The Corporation has maintained sufficient liquidity to fund its loan growth and allow for fluctuations in deposit levels. Internal sources of liquidity are provided by the maturities of loans and securities as well as holdings of securities Available for Sale. External sources of liquidity include a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, the Federal funds lines that have been established with correspondent banks, and Repurchase Agreements with money center banks that allow us to pledge securities as collateral for borrowings. As of September 30, 2005, the Bank utilized $256.5 million of its authorized limit of $275 million with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and $10.2 million of its $110 million of federal funds lines with its correspondent banks. Total stockholders' equity of the Corporation was $154.2 million at September 30, 2005 and $155.3 million at December 31, 2004. The ratio of equity to assets was 9.6% at September 30, 2005 and 10.0% at December 31, 2004. Federal bank regulatory agencies have set capital adequacy standards for Total Risk Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk Based Capital, and Leverage Capital. These standards require banks to maintain Leverage and Tier 1 ratios of at least 4% and a Total Capital ratio of at least 8% to be adequately capitalized. The regulatory agencies consider a bank to be well capitalized if its Total Risk Based Capital is at least 10% of Risk Weighted Assets, Tier 1 Capital is at least 6% of Risk Weighted Assets, and Leverage Capital Ratio is at least 5%. The following table summarizes the capital ratios of the Corporation: Minimum to be Well September 30, 2005 December 31, 2004 Capitalized ------------------ ----------------- ------------------ Leverage Capital 9.7% 10.0% 5.0% Tier 1 Risk Based Capital 13.9% 14.3% 6.0% Total Risk Based Capital 15.1% 15.6% 10.0% At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Bank was in compliance with the capital guidelines and is considered "well-capitalized" under regulatory standards. Market risk for the Bank, as is typical for most banks, consists mainly of interest rate risk and market price risk. The Bank's earnings and the economic value of its equity are exposed to interest rate risk and market price risk, and monitoring this risk is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO) of the Bank. The Bank's market risk is monitored monthly and it has not changed significantly since year-end 2004. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Bank faces market risk to the extent that the fair values of its financial instruments are affected by changes in interest rates. The Bank does not face market risk due to changes in -18- foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices. The asset and liability management process of the Bank seeks to monitor and manage the amount of interest rate risk. This is accomplished by analyzing the differences in repricing opportunities for assets and liabilities, by simulating operating results under varying interest rate scenarios, and by estimating the change in the net present value of the Bank's assets and liabilities due to interest rate changes. Each month, the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO), which includes the senior management of the Bank, estimates the effect of interest rate changes on the projected net interest income of the Bank. The sensitivity of the Bank's net interest income to changes in interest rates is measured by using a computer based simulation model to estimate the impact on earnings of a gradual increase or decrease of 100 basis points in the prime rate. The net interest income projections are compared to a base case projection, which assumes no changes in interest rates. The 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 the first nine months of 2005, 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 parallel shifts of plus or minus 100 and 200 basis points in interest rates. The discount rates used to determine the present values of the loans and deposits, as well as the prepayment rates for the loans, are based on Management's expectations of the effect of the rate shock on the market for loans and deposits. The Bank's ALCO has established limits in the acceptable amount of interest rate risk, as measured by the change in economic value of the Bank's equity, in its policy. Throughout the first nine months of 2005, the estimated variability of the economic value of equity was within the Bank's established policy limits. The Bank's interest rate risk, as measured by the net interest income and economic value of equity simulations, has not changed significantly from December 31, 2004. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2005, 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 September 30, 2005, in alerting them in a timely manner to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings. There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. -19- PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
