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 of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1998. 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, 1997. 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 number of common shares outstanding was 873,178 and 864,272 for the six month period ending June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. NOTE 3 ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 130 The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, on January 1, 1998. The Statement establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components. SFAS No. 130 requires that all components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. For the Corporation, comprehensive income includes net income and changes in unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale. NOTE 4 BRANCH ACQUISITION The Corporation's subsidiary bank, Isabella Bank and Trust, completed the purchase of three branches from Old Kent Bank on March 30, 1998. The purchase included approximately $43.0 million in deposits and $225,000 in loans. The Results of Operations and Changes in financial condition include the operating results of the acquired branches from the date of purchase. 8 9 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 1997 annual report and with the unaudited financial statements and notes, as set forth on pages 3 through 8 of this report. The Corporation's subsidiary bank, Isabella Bank and Trust, completed the purchase of three branches from Old Kent Bank on March 30, 1998. The purchase included approximately $43.0 million in deposits and $225,000 in loans. The Results of Operations and Changes in Financial Condition include the operating results of the acquired branches from the date of purchase. SIX MONTHS ENDING JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income equaled $1.73 million for the six month period ended June 30, 1998, compared to $1.74 million for the same period in 1997, a 0.07% decrease. Return on average assets, which measures the ability of the Corporation to profitably and efficiently employ its resources, was 1.01% for the first six months of 1998 and 1.16% in 1997. Return on average equity, which indicates how effectively the Corporation is able to generate earnings on shareholder invested capital, equaled 10.96 % through June 30, 1998 versus 12.09% for the same period in 1997. SUMMARY OF SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA - ---------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands except per share data) Year to Date June 30 ------------------- 1998 1997 ------------------- INCOME STATEMENT DATA: Net interest income $6,347 $6,046 Provision for loan losses 206 252 Net income 1,726 1,738 PER SHARE DATA: Net income per common share $ 1.98 $ 2.01 Cash dividends per common share 0.50 0.46 RATIOS: Average primary capital to average assets 9.98% 10.43% Net income to average assets 1.01 1.16 Net income to average equity 10.96 12.09 NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income equals interest income less interest expense and is the primary source of income for IBT Bancorp. In accordance with Statement of Accounting Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 91, "Accounting for Loan Fees," interest income includes loan fees of $393,000 in 1998 versus $287,000 in 1997. 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. (Continued on page 13) 9 10 TABLE 1 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.

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.

An increase of 12.9% in average interest earning assets provided $1.34 million of FTE interest income. The majority of this growth was funded by a 15.6% increase in interest bearing deposits, resulting in $877,000 of additional FTE interest expense. Overall, changes in volume resulted in $463,000 of additional FTE interest income. The average FTE interest rate earned on assets decreased by 0.13%, decreasing FTE interest income by $73,000. The average rate paid on deposits increased by 0.09%, increasing interest expense by $43,000. The net change related to interest rates earned and paid was a $116,000 decrease in FTE net interest income. The Corporation's FTE net interest yield as a percentage of average earning assets equaled 4.17% during the first six months of 1998 versus 4.46% in 1997. The 0.29% decrease in the net interest yield was primarily a result of two factors. The primary factor was the Bank's purchase of the Old Kent branches. The net proceeds (due to the assumption of the deposit liabilities) were invested in investment securities. The investing of these funds was begun in late January 1998. The overall net FTE interest yield on these additional funds is estimated to be 2.20%. Management expects the Corporation's overall net FTE interest yield as a percentage of average assets to decline by an average of 0.25% for the remainder of 1998. The other factor affecting the Corporation's net interest margin is the increasing reliance on higher cost deposits such as certificates of deposit and money market accounts to fund asset growth. In addition to increased reliance on these funds, the cost of obtaining these funds has risen in relation to other interest rates. Management expects the Corporation's reliance on higher cost deposits to fund asset growth to continue. The combination of lower interest margins and the write-off related to the $4.2 million deposit premium paid for the Old Kent branch deposits will result in the Corporation's overall profitability as a percentage of assets (return on assets) to decline by approximately 0.20% in 1998. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The viability of any financial institution is ultimately determined by its management of credit risk. Loans outstanding represent 64% 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 June 30, 1998 to June 30, 1997, the provision for loan losses was decreased $46,000 to $206,000. The provision was reduced due to a decrease of $92,000 in charged off loans during the first six months of 1998 when compared to the prior year. Year to date 1998, the Corporation had a net recovery of loans previously charged-off of $92,000 versus $11,000 in 1997. Loans classified as nonperforming were 0.45% of loans as of June 30, 1998 versus 0.37% for June 30, 1997. As of June 30, 1998, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans equaled 1.28%. In management's opinion, the allowance for loan losses is adequate as of June 30, 1998. 13 14 NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income consists of trust fees, deposit service charges, fees for other financial services, and gains and losses on investment securities available for sale. There was a $287,000 increase in fees earned from these sources during the first six months of 1998 when compared to the same period in 1997. Significant individual account changes during this period include a $20,000 increase in brokerage commissions, a $32,000 increase in trust income, a $57,000 increase in gains on the sale of investment securities available for sale, and a $119,000 increase in gains on the sale of mortgage and student loans. The Corporation has established a policy that all 30 year amortized fixed rate mortgage loans will be sold. These loans are accounted for according to SFAS 125 and 122, and are sold without recourse. The Corporation retains the servicing of these loans. The calculation of gains on the sale of mortgages exclude at least 25 basis points for the servicing of these loans. Included in other operating income is a $162,000 gain from the sale of $24.7 million in mortgages during the second quarter of 1998 versus a $52,000 gain on the sale of $7.6 million for the same period in 1997. NONINTEREST EXPENSES Noninterest expenses increased $706,000 or 16.3% during the first six months of 1998 when compared to 1997. The purchase of Old Kent branches had a significant impact on these expenses. Specifically, of the $706,000 increase in noninterest expense, $410,000 is related to the conversion and operations of the Old Kent branches. Excluding these costs, noninterest expense would have increased approximately $296,000 or 6.8%. The largest component of noninterest expense is salaries and employee benefits, which increased $360,000 or 15.1%. Salary expenses related to the acquisition are estimated to equal $170,000. The remaining increase is related to normal merit and promotional salary increases, and to an across the board increase in hourly wages to retain its current technical and clerical employees and to attract qualified workers in a tight labor market. Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses increased $105,000 or 13.5% in 1998. Approximately half of the increase is related to the acquisition. Other significant changes include automatic teller machine operating costs, equipment depreciation and computer expenses. Other operating expenses increased $241,000, a 20.7% increase. The amortization of deposit premium recorded in connection with the Old Kent branch acquisition accounted for $131,000 of the increase. Printing and office supplies, postage, and loan acquisi-tion expenses accounted for the majority of the remaining increase. QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income equaled $864,000 for the second quarter in 1998 compared to $891,000 for the same period in 1997, a 3.0% decrease. Return on average assets equaled 0.95% for the second quarter of 1998 versus 1.19% for the same period in 1997. Return on average equity equaled 10.83% for the second quarter in 1998, versus 12.24% for the second quarter in 1997. 14 15 SUMMARY OF SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA - ---------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands except per share data) Quarter Ended June 30 ---------------------------- 1998 1997 ---------------------------- INCOME STATEMENT DATA: Net interest income $3,309 $3,066 Provision for loan losses 108 129 Net income 864 891 PER SHARE DATA: Net income per common share $ 0.99 $ 1.03 Cash dividend per common share 0.25 0.23 RATIOS: Net income to average assets 0.95% 1.19% Net income to average equity 10.83 12.24 NET INTEREST INCOME When comparing the second quarter of 1998 to 1997, net FTE interest income increased $268,000. An increase of 19.2% in interest earning assets (of which 12.0% is related to the acquisition) provided $1.03 million of FTE interest income. The asset growth was funded primarily by a 24.0% increase in interest bearing deposits, resulting in $634,000 of increased interest expense. Overall, increased volume resulted in $391,000 of additional FTE interest income. During the second quarter of 1998, the average FTE interest rate earned on assets decreased by 0.26% and the average rate paid on deposits decreased by 0.01%. The changes in interest rates earned and paid resulted in a $123,000 decrease in FTE interest income. The Corporation's FTE net interest yield as a percentage of average earning assets equaled 4.12% during the second quarter of 1998 versus 4.53% in 1997. The 0.41% decrease was primarily a result of the same factors that have affected the year to date net interest yield. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The amount provided for loan losses in the second quarter of 1998 was $108,000 versus $129,000 in 1997. The decrease in the provision resulted from a decrease in loans charged of $92,000 during the first six months of 1998. During 1998 the Corporation had a net recovery of loans previously charged-off of $92,000 versus $11,000 in 1997. NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income earned in the second quarter of 1998, when compared to the same period in 1997, increased $215,000. The most significant changes were a $72,000 increase in gains on the sale of loans, a $16,000 increase in trust fees, and a $48,000 increase in gains from the sale of investment securities available for sale, and a $30,000 increase in deposit account service and overdraft fees. 15 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.

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.

Noninterest expense includes salary and benefits, occupancy, and other operating expenses. The purchase of the Old Kent branches had a significant impact on these costs. Management estimates that of the $551,000 increase in noninterest expense, $385,000 is related to the conversion and operations of the Old Kent branches. Excluding these costs, noninterest expense would have increased approximately $166,000. Comparing 1998 to 1997, salaries and employee benefits increased $268,000, occupancy expense and furniture and equipment expense increased $78,000 and other operating expenses increased $205,000. ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION Since December 31, 1997, total assets decreased $43.5 million to $362.2 million. As of June 30, 1998, the loan portfolio increased $15.2 million, fed funds sold decreased $14.5 million, and investment securities increased $30.6 million when compared to December 31, 1997. Deposits during this period increased $41.4 million. The majority of the increase in deposits was a result of Isabella Bank and Trust's acquisition of the three Old Kent branches. 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 payment of cash dividends. The primary sources of the Corporation's liquidity are cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities available for sale. As of June 30, 1998, cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of total assets equaled 5.4%, versus 8.9% as of December 31, 1997. During the first six months of 1998, $1.8 million in net cash was provided from operations. Investing activities used $8.2 million and financing activities used $2.6 million. The accumulated effect of the Corporation's operating, investing and financing activities was a $9.0 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the first six months of 1998. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, investment securities available for sale are another source of liquidity. Securities available for sale equaled $89.6 million as of June 30, 1998 and $57.4 million as of December 31, 1997. The Corporation's liquidity is considered adequate by management. CAPITAL The capital of the Corporation consists solely of common stock, surplus, retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive income; and increased approximately $1.6 million since December 31, 1997. 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 shareholder's equity plus the allowance for loan losses, was 10.0% at June 30, 1998. 18 19 CAPITAL, CONTINUED 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 June 30, 1998: PERCENTAGE OF CAPITAL TO RISK ADJUSTED ASSETS: IBT Bancorp Actual Required 06/30/98 ------------ ------------ Equity Capital 4.00 13.29 Secondary Capital* 4.00 1.25 Total Capital 8.00 14.54 * 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. 19 20 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 agricultural and oil and gas concerns, and holds no trading account assets. Any changes in foreign exchange rates or commodity prices would have an insignificant impact, if any, on the Corporation's interest income and cash flows. 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. 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 are 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 June 30, 1998. 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. 20 21 Quantitative Disclosures of Market Risk June 30 Fair Value ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 Thereafter Total 06/30/98 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rate sensitive assets: Other interest bearing assets $3,000 $3,000 $3,000 Average interest rates 5.45% 5.45% Fixed interest rate secur $10,350 $18,605 $22,817 $15,081 $13,887 $14,419 $95,159 $95,229 Average interest rates 5.63% 5.93% 5.85% 5.83% 6.08% 6.65% 5.82% Fixed interest rate loans $72,258 $45,742 $48,931 $22,219 $19,516 $7,871 $216,537 $218,252 Average interest rates 7.98% 8.39% 8.17% 8.19% 8.15% 7.73% 8.14% Variable interest rate loans $12,560 $2,116 $902 $258 $1 $100 $15,937 $15,937 Average interest rates 10.24% 10.24% 9.56% 10.37% 10.75% 10.00% 10.26% Rate sensitive liabilities: Savings and NOW accounts $54,564 $15,351 $12,368 $10,539 $9,761 $28,236 $130,819 $130,819 Average interest rates 3.68% 2.57% 2.57% 2.55% 2.55% 2.63% 3.04% Fixed interest rate time deposits $85,278 $24,541 $11,872 $15,672 $11,109 $157 $148,629 $149,128 Average interest rates 5.46% 6.11% 6.10% 6.62% 6.32% 6.32% 5.81% Variable interest rate time deposits $760 $302 $5 $1,067 $1,067 Average interest rates 5.29% 5.29% 5.29% 5.29% 21 22 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 4 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS The registrant's annual meeting of shareholders was held on May 5, 1998.
