Part I
Item 1. Business
GENERAL
MBT Financial Corp. (the "Corporation") operates as a bank holding company
headquartered in Monroe, Michigan. The Corporation was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Michigan in January 2000, at the direction of the
management of Monroe Bank & Trust (the "Bank"), for the purpose of becoming a
bank holding company by acquiring all the outstanding shares of Monroe Bank &
Trust. At the April 6, 2000 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Monroe Bank &
Trust, shareholders approved a proposal that resulted in the Bank merging with
Monroe Interim Bank, a state chartered bank, which was a subsidiary of the
Corporation. On July 1, 2000, the merger of Monroe Bank & Trust and Monroe
Interim Bank was completed, with Monroe Bank & Trust becoming the wholly owned
subsidiary of MBT Financial Corp.
Monroe Bank & Trust was incorporated and chartered as Monroe State Savings Bank
under the laws of the State of Michigan in 1905. In 1940, Monroe Bank & Trust
consolidated with Dansard Bank and moved to the present address of its main
office. Monroe Bank & Trust operated as a unit bank until 1950 when it opened
its first branch office in Ida, Michigan. It then continued its expansion to its
present total of 22 branch offices, including its main office. Monroe Bank &
Trust changed its name from "Monroe State Savings Bank" to "Monroe Bank & Trust"
in 1968.
Monroe Bank & Trust provides customary retail and commercial banking and trust
services to its customers, including checking and savings accounts, time
deposits, safe deposit facilities, commercial loans, personal loans, real estate
mortgage loans, installment loans, IRAs, ATM and night depository facilities,
treasury management services, telephone and internet banking, personal trust,
employee benefit and investment management services. Monroe Bank & Trust's
service areas are comprised of Monroe and Wayne counties in Southern Michigan.
Monroe Bank & Trust's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC") to applicable legal limits and Monroe Bank & Trust is
supervised and regulated by the FDIC and Michigan Office of Financial and
Insurance Services Division of Financial Institutions.
COMPETITION
MBT Financial Corp., through its subsidiary, Monroe Bank & Trust, operates in a
highly competitive industry. Monroe Bank & Trust's main competition comes from
other commercial banks, national or state savings and loan institutions,
securities brokers, mortgage bankers, finance companies and insurance companies.
Banks generally compete with other financial institutions through the banking
products and services offered, the pricing of services, the level of service
provided, the convenience and availability of services, and the degree of
expertise and personal manner in which these services are offered. Monroe Bank &
Trust encounters strong competition from most of the financial institutions in
Monroe Bank & Trust's extended market area.
EMPLOYEES
MBT Financial Corp. has no employees other than its three officers, each of whom
is also an employee and officer of Monroe Bank & Trust and who serve in their
capacity as officers of MBT Financial Corp. without compensation. As of December
31, 2001, Monroe Bank & Trust had 317 full-time employees
2
and 22 part-time employees. Monroe Bank & Trust provides a number of benefits
for its full-time employees, including health and life insurance, workers'
compensation, social security, paid vacations, numerous bank services, a 401(k)
plan and a Money Purchase Pension Plan.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed or
incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K may contain certain forward-looking
statements that involve risk and uncertainties including, but not limited to,
economic conditions, product demand and industry capability, competitive
products and pricing, new product development, the regulatory and trade
environment, and other risks indicated in filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Earnings increased slightly in 1999, as Net Income increased $508,673, or 3%.
Net Interest Income increased $1,325,658, or 3% as the Federal Reserve increased
managed interest rates three times, by a total of 0.75% in the second half of
the year. Two significant investment strategies that were developed to increase
Net Interest Income were deployed by the Bank in the second half of 1999. The
first involved reinvesting the maturities of short term Held to Maturity Other
Securities into Held to Maturity Obligations of U.S. Government Agencies. As a
result, Held to Maturity Other Securities decreased $53,577,661, or 86% and Held
to Maturity Obligations of U.S. Government Agencies increased $74,513,446, or
98%. The second strategy deployed involved the use of Federal Home Loan Bank
advances to fund a portfolio of three to ten year, non-callable corporate bonds.
This resulted in the creation of the $96,794,073 Available for Sale Other
Securities portfolio. Net Loans showed a slight increase of $13,576,076, or 2%,
as rising interest rates and increased competition affected our loan volume. We
experienced a small increase in real estate loans, a small decrease in
commercial and industrial loans, and a significant increase in loans to
individuals for household, family, and other personal expenditures. The loan
growth was funded primarily by a 3% increase in deposits. We increased our
Provision for Loan Losses $6,170,497, or 192%, and loans charged off, net of
recoveries, increased $8,270,497, or 357% as we recognized losses on several
large non-performing commercial and industrial loans. This resulted in a
decrease of $1,200,000, or 11%, in the Allowance for Loan Losses. Salaries and
Employee Benefits decreased 37% due to the charges related to the deferred
compensation plan in 1998. Income Before Provision for Income Taxes increased
$414,225, or 2%, compared to 1998, and with the slight increase in investment in
Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions, the Provision for Income Taxes
decreased $94,448, or 2%. The effective tax rate was 23.4% in 1999.
In 2000, Net Income increased significantly as the Corporation produced record
earnings. Net Income increased $4,104,191, or 24%, compared to 1999, as interest
rates continued to rise. Deposits showed a small increase of 5%, as most of the
asset growth was funded by an increase of $100,000,000, or 80%, in advances from
the Federal Home Loan Bank. We experienced a significant increase of 16% in Net
Loans as the local economy continued its expansion. Most of the loan growth was
in loans secured by real estate, which increased 25%. Loans to individuals for
household, family, and other personal expenditures increased 4%, and commercial
and industrial loans decreased 4%. We increased our Allowance for Loan Losses
$700,000 over the prior year-end, as necessitated by the increase in Net Loans.
Income Before Provision for Income Taxes increased $6,928,013, or 31%, compared
to 1999, but with a smaller average percentage investment in Obligations of
States and Political Subdivisions in 2000, the Provision for Income Taxes showed
a large increase of $2,823,822, or 54%. The effective tax rate increased from
23.4% to 27.5%.
Despite the slowdown in economic activity in 2001, we experienced our second
consecutive record earnings year as Net Income increased $750,677, or 4%,
compared to 2000. Deposits increased less than 1% and Total Assets increased
only 1%. Net Loans showed a slight decrease of 3% as commercial and industrial
loans decreased 34% and loans to individuals for household, family, and other
personal expenditures decreased 19%. Real estate loans showed a small increase
of 9%. Although Total Loans decreased, we increased our Allowance for Loan
Losses $2,400,000. This increase was necessary as the
8
weak economic conditions impacted the credit quality of many of our customers.
Income Before Provision for Income Taxes increased $1,026,046, or 4%, compared
to 2000, and with a slight increase in our investment in Obligations of States
and Political Subdivisions, our Provision for Income Taxes increased only
$275,369, or 3%. The effective tax rate remained at 27.5% in 2001.
Earnings for the Bank are usually highly reflective of the Net Interest Income.
In 1999, interest rates increased in the third and fourth quarters, but with the
large decrease in Salaries and Employee Benefits, and the increase in Provision
for Loan Losses, Net Income increased 3%. In 2000, interest rates continued to
climb, with the prime rate increasing 100 basis points in the first half of the
year. Interest income increased $16.4 million, or 20% compared to 1999 and
interest expense increased $11.4 million, or 30%. As a result, Net Interest
Income increased $5.0 million, or 11% over 1999. Along with a moderating
Provision for Loan Losses, non-interest income increasing significantly and
non-interest expense increasing only modestly, the result was a significant
increase in Net Income. In 2001, the Federal Open Market Committee of the
Federal Reserve attempted to prevent a recession by lowering the Federal Funds
target rate 11 times, for a total of 475 basis points. Interest income increased
only $1.8 million and interest expense decreased $146,000, compared to 2000. As
a result, Net Interest Income increased $1.9 million, or 4%. The Provision for
Loan Losses increased $1.1 million, as the Allowance for Loan Losses was
increased. Non-interest income increased $1.9 million and non-interest expense
increased $1.7 million. Income from trust services declined modestly due to a
large amount of estate settlement fees collected by the trust department in 2000
and the declining market value of trust assets in 2001. The large increase in
service charges on deposit accounts was the result of increases in the rates
charged for deposit services and the implementation of new programs for
overdrafts. Other non-interest income increased due to increased fees on
mortgage originations and gains on the sales of portions of the consumer credit
card and commercial lease loan portfolios. These sales resulted in a gain of
$717,000. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily the result of an
increase in Salaries and Employee Benefits as staffing continued to increase in
several areas. The small increase in Net Interest Income, along with the
significant increases in Provision for Loan Losses and non-interest income, and
the small increase in non-interest expense, resulted in a small increase in Net
Income. Average cost of interest bearing deposits was 4.4%, 4.8%, and 4.1% for
1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively. The table below shows selected financial
ratios for the same three years.

Due to a variety of reasons, including volatile interest rates in the past and
successful bidding in securing local municipal deposits, we have attempted, for
the last several years, to maintain a liquid investment
11
position. The percentage of securities held as Available for Sale increased from
26% as of December 31, 2000 to 67% as of December 31, 2001. As reflected in Note
4 to the consolidated financial statements, the percentage of securities that
mature within five years increased from 37% as of December 31, 2000 to 39% as of
December 31, 2001. The table below presents the scheduled maturities for each of
the investment categories, and the average yield on the amounts maturing. The
yields presented for the Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions are
not tax equivalent yields. The interest income on these securities is exempt
from federal income tax. The Corporation's statutory federal income tax rate is
thirty-five percent.

Our loan policies also reflect our awareness for liquidity. We have shortened
the average terms for most of our loan portfolios, in particular real estate
mortgages, the majority of which are normally written for five years or less.
The following table shows the maturities or repricing opportunities (whichever
is earlier) for the Bank's interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities at December 31, 2001. The repricing assumptions shown are consistent
with those established by the Bank's Asset and Liability Management Committee
(ALCO). Savings accounts and regular NOW accounts are non-maturing, variable
rate deposits, which may reprice as often as weekly, but are not included in the
zero to six month category because in actual practice, these deposits are only
repriced if there is a large change in market interest rates. The effect of
including these accounts in the zero to six-month category is depicted in a
subsequent table. Super NOW accounts and Money Market deposits are also
non-maturing, variable rate deposits, however, these accounts are included in
the zero to six-month category because they may get repriced following smaller
changes in market rates.

For 2002, we expect interest rates to stabilize through the first half of the
year, and then increase as the economic recovery progresses in the second half.
We believe that the Federal Reserve's actions in 2001 prevented a prolonged
recession in the national economy. However, we expect our region to recover more
slowly than the national economy as the manufacturing sector, particularly
automotive related, might lag behind other sectors. This may translate into
continued slow local loan demand and low deposit growth. As a result of the
expected increasing interest rates and the slow loan growth mentioned above, we
expect a small increase in Net Interest Income. Due to the slow recovery in the
local economy, and the uncertain financial viability of borrowers in certain
industries, we expect to incur an increase in the Provision for Loan Losses in
order to maintain an adequate Allowance for Loan Losses. Anticipating no
significant changes in non-interest income and non-interest expenses, we expect
a small increase in Net Income.
The following is an analysis of the transactions in the allowance for loan
losses:

Each period the provision for loan losses in the income statement results from
the combination of an estimate by Management of loan losses that occurred during
the current period and the ongoing adjustment of prior estimates of losses.
To serve as a basis for making this provision, the Bank maintains an extensive
credit risk monitoring process that considers several factors including: current
economic conditions affecting the Bank's customers, the payment performance of
individual large loans and pools of homogeneous small loans, portfolio
seasoning, changes in collateral values, and detailed reviews of specific large
loan relationships. For large loans deemed to be impaired due to an expectation
that all contractual payments will probably not be received, impairment is
measured by comparing the Bank's recorded investment in the loan to the present
value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate,
the fair value of the collateral, or the loan's observable market price.
Year-end nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans, loans ninety days
or more past due, renegotiated debt, nonaccrual securities, and other real
estate owned, increased $6.1 million, or 28% from 2000 to 2001. Nonperforming
assets as a percent of total assets at year-end increased from 1.6% in 2000 to
2.0% in 2001. The Allowance for Loan Losses as a percent of nonperforming assets
at year-end decreased from 49% in 2000 to 47% in 2001.
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. As the specific customer and amount of a loan loss is confirmed by
gathering additional information, taking collateral in full or partial
settlement of the loan, bankruptcy of the borrower, etc., the loan is charged
off, reducing the allowance for loan losses. If, subsequent to a charge off, the
Bank is able to collect additional amounts from the customer or sell collateral
worth more than earlier estimated, a recovery is recorded.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Bank faces market risk to the extent that the fair values of its financial
instruments are affected by changes in interest rates. The Bank does not face
market risk due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices,
or equity prices. The asset and liability management process of the Bank seeks
to monitor and manage the amount of interest rate risk. This is accomplished by
analyzing the differences in repricing opportunities for assets and liabilities
(gap analysis, as shown in Item 7), by simulating operating results under
varying interest rate scenarios, and by estimating the change in the net present
value of the Bank's assets and liabilities due to interest rate changes.
15
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 table below summarizes the net interest income sensitivity
as of December 31, 2001.

Net Interest Income 51,445 51,715 51,851
Percent Change From Base Projection 0.5% 0.8%
ALCO Policy Limit (+/-) 5.0% 5.0%
The Bank's ALCO has established limits in the acceptable amount of interest rate
risk, as measured by the change in the Bank's projected net interest income, in
its policy. Throughout 2001, the estimated variability of the net interest
income was within the Bank's established policy limits.
The ALCO also monitors interest rate risk by estimating the effect of changes in
interest rates on the economic value of the Bank's equity each month. The actual
economic value of the Bank's equity is first determined by subtracting the fair
value of the Bank's liabilities from the fair value of the Bank's assets. The
fair values are determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards Number 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The
Bank estimates the interest rate risk by calculating the effect of market
interest rate shocks on the economic value of its equity. For this analysis, the
Bank assumes immediate increases or decreases of 100 and 200 basis points in the
prime lending rate. The discount rates used to determine the present values of
the loans and deposits, as well as the prepayment rates for the loans, are based
on Management's expectations of the effect of the rate shock on the market for
loans and deposits. The table below summarizes the amount of interest rate risk
to the fair value of the Bank's assets and liabilities and to the economic value
of the Bank's equity.

Report of Independent Public Accountants
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors,
MBT FINANCIAL CORP.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of MBT
FINANCIAL CORP. (a Michigan corporation) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and
the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows, and changes in
stockholders' equity for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 2001. These consolidated financial statements and the schedules referred to
below are the responsibility of the Bank's Management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
Management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present

flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules on pages 55
through 57 are presented for purposes of complying with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and are not a required
part of the basic financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to

required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
================================================================================
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MBT
Financial Corp. (the "Corporation") and its subsidiary, Monroe Bank &
Trust (the "Bank"). The Bank operates twenty-one offices in Monroe
County, Michigan and one office in Wayne County, Michigan. 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.
At the April 6, 2000 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Monroe Bank &
Trust, shareholders approved a proposal that resulted in the Bank
reorganizing into a one-bank holding company. The holding company
formation involved merging Monroe Bank & Trust with Monroe Interim
Bank, a state chartered bank organized solely for the purpose of this
transaction. The merger of Monroe Bank & Trust and Monroe Interim Bank,
a combination of entities under common control, was treated in a manner
similar to a pooling of interests. The financial information for all
prior periods was restated in the consolidated financial statements for
MBT Financial Corp. to present the statements as if the merger had been
in effect for all periods presented.
The reorganization resulted in an exchange of the Monroe Bank & Trust
common stock for MBT Financial Corp. common stock. The exchange rate
was two shares of MBT Financial Corp. for each share of Monroe Bank &
Trust. Monroe Bank & Trust previously had 10,000,000 common shares
authorized and outstanding, with a par value of $3.125 per share. MBT
Financial Corp. has 30,000,000 shares authorized, of which 19,752,542
are outstanding at December 31, 2001. The MBT Financial Corp. common
stock has no par value. Monroe Bank & Trust is now a wholly owned
subsidiary of MBT Financial Corp., a registered bank holding company.
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. A
material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant
changes in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance
for loan losses.
The significant accounting policies are as follows:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Corporation and its subsidiary. All material intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Investment securities that are "held to maturity" are stated at cost,
and adjusted for accumulated amortization of premium and accretion of
discount. The Bank has the intention and, in Management's opinion, the
ability to hold these investment securities until maturity. Investment
securities that are "available for sale" are stated at estimated market
value, with the related unrealized gains and losses reported as an
amount, net of taxes, as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
The market value of securities is based on quoted market prices. For
securities that do not have readily available market values, estimated
market values are calculated based on the market values of comparable
securities.
24
Gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined using the
specific identification method. Premiums and discounts are recognized
in interest income using the interest method over the term of the
security.
INTEREST INCOME ON LOANS
Interest income on loans is recorded on an accrual basis. Origination
fees and certain direct costs are deferred and accounted for as an
adjustment to the yield in accordance with SFAS 91, "Accounting for
Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring
Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases."
BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation of $18,505,966 in 2001 and $16,510,468 in 2000. The Bank
uses both straight-line and declining-balance methods to provide for
depreciation, which is charged to operations over the estimated useful
lives of the assets. Depreciation expense amounted to $1,995,498 in
2001, $1,805,138 in 2000, and $1,422,238 in 1999.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred. The cost of assets retired and the related accumulated
depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gains
or losses are reflected in operations in the year the assets are
retired.
OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED
Other real estate owned is carried at the lesser of 80% of the
appraised value of the property or the principal balance of the loan at
the time of foreclosure.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive Income is comprised of Net Income and Other Comprehensive
Income, which consists of the change in net unrealized gains (losses)
on securities available for sale, net of tax.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and Cash Equivalents include cash and due from banks and Federal
funds sold. Generally, cash equivalents have daily maturities.
(2) Loans
The Bank grants commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans primarily to
customers in Monroe 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.
Loans at December 31 consist of the following:
2001 2000
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Real estate loans $ 595,255,497 $ 547,285,414
Loans to finance agricultural production and
other loans to farmers 2,855,577 2,831,759
Commercial and industrial loans 99,978,957 151,734,230
Loans to individuals for household, family,
and other personal expenditures 90,675,451 111,504,134
All other loans (including overdrafts) 695,988 609,274
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total loans, gross $ 789,461,470 $ 813,964,811
Less: Deferred loan fees 1,636,418 1,841,994
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total loans, net of deferred loan fees $ 787,825,052 $ 812,122,817
Less: Allowance for loan losses 13,000,000 10,600,000
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ 774,825,052 $ 801,522,817
=======================================================================================
25
To reduce risk related to the use of credit related financial
instruments, the Bank might deem it necessary to obtain collateral. The
amount and nature of the collateral obtained is based on the Bank's
credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may
include cash, securities, accounts receivable, inventory, property,
plant and equipment, and real estate.
Loans are placed in a nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of
Management, the collection of additional interest is doubtful. Loans in
a nonaccrual status amounted to $22,712,019 and $17,161,449 at December
31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In the opinion of Management, all
impaired loans are in nonaccrual status. Allowances for these loans are
included in the Allowance for Loan Losses. All cash received on
nonaccrual loans is applied to the principal balance.
In 2001, the Bank sold the consumer portion of its credit card loan
portfolio. The amount of loans sold was $6,813,023 and the gain
recognized on the sale of these loans was $408,781. Also in 2001, the
Bank sold a portion of its commercial lease loans. The amount of loans
sold was $17,629,669 and the gain on the sale of these loans was
$308,519. The gains on these sales are included in other non-interest
income. The Allowance for Loan Losses on these loans sold was $410,000.
The Bank allocated this amount to the remainder of the loan portfolio.
Included in Loans are loans to certain officers, directors, and
companies in which such officers and directors have 10 percent or more
beneficial ownership in the aggregate amount of $19,491,938 and
$24,448,451 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In 2001, new
loans and other additions amounted to $4,923,676, and repayments and
other reductions amounted to $9,880,189. In Management's judgment,
these loans were made on substantially the same terms and conditions as
those made to other borrowers, and do not represent more than the
normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
At December 31, 2001, loans carried at $166,533,386 were pledged to
secure Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
(3) Allowance For Loan Losses
Activity in the allowance for loan losses was as follows:
2001 2000 1999

Balance beginning of year $ 10,600,000 $ 9,900,000 $ 11,100,000

=========================================================================================
Each period the provision for loan losses in the income statement
results from the combination of an estimate by Management of loan
losses that occurred during the current period and the ongoing
adjustment of prior estimates of losses occurring in prior periods.
To serve as a basis for making this provision, the Bank maintains an
extensive credit risk monitoring process that considers several factors
including: current economic conditions affecting the Bank's customers,
the payment performance of individual large loans and pools of
homogeneous small loans, portfolio seasoning, changes in collateral
values, and detailed reviews of specific large loan relationships. For
large loans deemed to be impaired due to an expectation that all
contractual payments will probably not be received, impairment is
measured by comparing the Bank's recorded investment in the loan to the
present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate, the fair value of the collateral, or the loan's
observable market price.
26
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. As the specific customer and amount of a loan
loss is confirmed by gathering additional information, taking
collateral in full or partial settlement of the loan, bankruptcy of the
borrower, etc., the loan is charged off, reducing the allowance for
loan losses. If, subsequent to a charge off, the Bank is able to
collect additional amounts from the customer or sell collateral worth
more than earlier estimated, a recovery is recorded.

(5) Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Certain of the Bank's assets and liabilities which are financial
instruments have fair values which differ from their carrying values in
the accompanying consolidated statements of condition. These fair
values, along with the methods and assumptions used to estimate such
fair values, are discussed below. The fair values of all financial
instruments not discussed below are estimated to be equal to their
carrying values as of December 31, 2001 and 2000.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Fair value for the Bank's investment securities was determined using
the market value at December 31, 2001 and 2000. These Estimated Market
Values are disclosed in Note 4.
LOANS, NET
The fair value of all loans is estimated by discounting the future cash
flows associated with the loans, using the current rates at which
similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings
and for the same remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of
loans at December 31, 2001, net of the allowance for loan losses, is
$776,550,136, compared to the carrying value of $774,825,052. The
estimated fair value of loans at December 31, 2000, net of the
allowance for loan losses, was $796,811,809, compared to the carrying
value of $801,522,817.
OTHER TIME DEPOSITS
The fair value of other time deposits, consisting of fixed maturity
certificates of deposit, is estimated by discounting the related cash
flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar
remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of other time deposits
at December 31, 2001 is $374,463,850, compared to the carrying value of
$368,695,291. The estimated fair value of other time deposits at
December 31, 2000 was $466,499,557, compared to the carrying value of
$468,128,395.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES
The Federal Home Loan Bank advances in the accompanying consolidated
statements of condition were all written with a put option that allows
the Federal Home Loan Bank to require repayment or conversion to a
variable rate advance. The fair value of these putable Federal Home
Loan Bank advances is estimated using the binomial lattice option
pricing method. The estimated fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank
advances at December 31, 2001 is $243,452,000, compared to the carrying
value of $225,000,000. The estimated fair value of Federal Home Loan
Bank advances at December 31, 2000 was $232,813,000, compared to the
carrying value of $225,000,000.
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of
credit and financial guarantees written are estimated using the fees
currently charged to engage into similar agreements. The fair values of
these instruments are not significant.
(6) Federal Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be reversed.
The Corporation and the Bank file a consolidated Federal income tax
return.

========================================================================================================================
The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate applicable to
corporations as a result of permanent differences between accounting
and taxable income as follows:
2001 2000 1999
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Statutory rate 35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 %

(7) Cash And Due From Banks
The Bank is required by regulatory agencies to maintain legal reserve
requirements based on the level of balances in deposit categories. Cash
balances restricted from usage due to these requirements were
$13,808,000 and $12,698,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Cash and due from banks includes deposits held at
correspondent banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
30
(8) Stockholders' Equity
On December 21, 2000, the Corporation's Board of Directors authorized
the repurchase of up to 2 million shares of MBT Financial Corp. common
stock during the two-year period beginning January 2, 2001. As of
December 31, 2001, 247,458 shares had been repurchased at a total cost
of $3,511,274.
On July 1, 2000, the Bank merged with Monroe Interim Bank, becoming a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation. The Corporation has
30,000,000 common shares authorized, with no par value. Shares issued
and outstanding were 19,752,542 as of December 31, 2001 and 20,000,000
as of December 31, 2000.
On February 29, 2000, the Bank redeemed its preferred stock. Preferred
stock consisted of 2,000 shares of $100 par value, non-voting,
cumulative preferred stock. The preferred stock was redeemed at its par
value, plus accrued dividends.
(9) Retirement Plans
In 2000, the Bank implemented a retirement plan that includes both a
money purchase pension plan, as well as a voluntary profit sharing
401(k) plan for all employees who meet certain age and length of
service eligibility requirements. The Bank contributes an amount equal
to four percent of the employee's base salary to all eligible employees
of the money purchase plan. For the 401(k) plan, an employee may
contribute up to ten percent of his or her base salary, with the Bank
matching the contribution up to the first six percent of the employee's
annual contribution. Depending on the Bank's profitability, an
additional profit sharing contribution may be made by the Bank to the
401(k) plan. The total retirement plan expense was $800,549 for the
year ended December 31, 2001 and $799,870 for the year ended December
31, 2000. This included a three percent profit sharing contribution for
each year.
In 1999, the Bank had a profit sharing plan for all employees who met
certain age and length of service eligibility requirements. An employee
could contribute a minimum of six percent, but not more than ten
percent of annual base salary, while the Bank`s contribution was
fifteen percent of the employee's annual base salary. The expense
attributable to the Bank's profit sharing plan was $609,142 in 1999.
The Bank has a postretirement benefit plan that generally provides for
the continuation of medical benefits for all employees who retire from
the Bank at age 55 or older, upon meeting certain length of service
eligibility requirements. The Bank does not fund its postretirement
benefit obligation. Rather, payments are made as costs are incurred by
covered retirees. The amount of benefits paid under the postretirement
benefit plan was $71,249 in 2001, $64,417 in 2000, and $58,826 in 1999.
A reconciliation of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
("APBO") to the amounts recorded in the consolidated statements of
condition in Interest Payable and Other Liabilities at December 31 is
as follows:
2001 2000
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APBO $ 1,513,401 $ 1,426,448
Unrecognized net transition obligation (589,495) (643,085)
Unrecognized prior service costs (47,740) (51,574)
Unrecognized net gain 196,776 214,373
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liability recorded in the consolidated statements of condition $ 1,072,942 $ 946,162
=====================================================================================================
31
The changes recorded in the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation were as follows:
2001 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APBO at beginning of year $ 1,426,448 $ 1,282,70
Service cost 41,707 38,952
Interest cost 106,488 99,307
Actuarial loss 10,007 69,906
Benefits paid during year (71,249) (64,417)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APBO at end of year $ 1,513,401 $ 1,426,44
============================================================================================
Components of the Bank's postretirement benefit expense were as follows:
2001 2000 1999
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Service cost $ 41,707 $ 38,952 $ 40,722
Interest cost 106,488 99,307 89,085
Amortization of transition obligation 53,590 53,590 53,590
Prior service costs 3,834 3,834 -
Amortization of gains (7,590) (17,994) -
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net postretirement benefit expense $ 198,029 $ 177,689 $ 183,397
========================================================================================
The APBO as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 was calculated using assumed
discount rates of 7.25% and 7.50%, respectively. Health care costs were
assumed to rise 6.40% in 2002, with the assumed rate of increase
decreasing uniformly each year thereafter to a minimum of 5.50% in 2005
and thereafter. To illustrate the significance of these assumptions, a
rise in the assumed rate of health care cost increases of 1.00% each
year would change the APBO as of December 31, 2001 by 1.34%, or
$20,211.
(10) Deposits
Interest expense on time certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more in
the year 2001 amounted to $10,749,159, as compared with $14,421,190 in
2000 and $12,411,822 in 1999. At December 31, 2001, the balance of time
certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more was $137,166,164, as
compared with $221,421,310 at December 31, 2000. The amount of time
deposits with a remaining term of more than 1 year was $131,645,000 at
December 31, 2001 and $88,097,000 at December 31, 2000. All time
deposits have a remaining term of less than 5 years.
(11) Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to
meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory (and
possibly additional discretionary) actions by regulators that, if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation's
consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines
and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the
Corporation and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to
qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors.
32
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum
amounts and ratios (set forth in the accompanying tables) of Total and
Tier I capital to risk weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to
average assets.
As of December 31, 2001, the Corporation's capital ratios exceeded the
required minimums to be considered well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as
well capitalized, the Corporation must maintain minimum Total risk
based, Tier I risk based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in
the tables. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2001
that Management believes have changed the Corporation's category.
Management believes, as of December 31, 2001, that the Corporation
meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
The Corporation's and Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also
presented in the table (000s omitted in dollar amounts).

On January 2, 2001, the Corporation issued options for 13,834 shares of
its common stock to its non-employee directors in accordance with the
Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan and the Retainer Exchange
Agreements. In accordance with the agreement, each director was
permitted to exchange a specified percentage of their quarterly
retainer earned during 2001 for an option to acquire shares of common
stock. The options were granted at a price of $13.94, which was the
fair market value of the Corporation's common stock on the date the
options were granted. On July 1, 2000, the Corporation issued options
for 126,600 shares of its common stock to certain key executives of the
Bank in accordance with the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan. The
options were granted at the price of $18.125, which was the fair market
value of the Corporation's common stock on the date the options were
granted.
The average market value of the stock was $14.12 during 2001 and $16.81
during 2000. The options granted on July 1, 2000 have an anti-dilutive
effect on the calculation of earnings per share, and therefore have not
been included.
(13) Stock-Based Compensation Plan
The Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan approved by shareholders at
the April 6, 2000 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Monroe Bank & Trust
authorized the Board of Directors to grant nonqualified stock options
to key employees and non-employee directors. Such grants may be made
until January 2, 2010 for up to 1,000,000 shares of the Corporation's
common stock. The amount that may be awarded to any one individual is
limited to 100,000 shares in any one calendar year.
Stock options granted under the plan have exercise prices equal to the
fair market value at the date of grant. Options granted under the plan
may be exercised for a period of no more than ten years from the date
of grant. One-third of the options granted to key employees in 2000
vest annually, beginning December 31, 2000. The options granted to
non-employee directors in 2001 vested on December 31, 2001.

The Corporation applies the intrinsic value method of APB Opinion 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations
in accounting for its stock plans as allowed under SFAS 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Had compensation cost for
the stock options granted in 2000 been determined consistent with the
fair value method of SFAS 123, pro forma net income for the years ended
December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 are shown in the table below.

The option value for the options granted in 2001 and 2000 was
calculated to be $3.82 and $4.97 per share, respectively, using the
Black-Scholes stock option pricing model. In making this calculation,
it was assumed for both years that the average exercise period was
seven years, the volatility rate was 18.6%, the risk-free rate of
return was 6.1%, and the dividend yield was 2.0%.

Under current regulations, the Bank is limited in the amount it may
loan to the Corporation. Loans to the Corporation may not exceed ten
percent of the Bank's capital stock, surplus, and undivided profits
plus the allowance for loan losses. Loans from the Bank to the
Corporation are required to be collateralized. The Bank has not made
any loans to the corporation.
Federal and state banking laws and regulations place certain
restrictions on the amount of dividends a bank may make to its parent
company. The Bank can pay dividends of $21,652,570 in 2002, in addition
to its 2002 net income, without regulatory approval.
(15) Interest Receivable and Other Assets
The Bank includes the cash surrender value of Bank Owned Life Insurance
(BOLI) in Interest Receivable and Other Assets on the accompanying
consolidated statements of condition. The cash surrender value of the
BOLI was $15,458,861 at December 31, 2001 and $14,222,346 at December
31, 2000. The following is a description of the components of the BOLI.
DIRECTOR SPLIT-DOLLAR LIFE INSURANCE
On December 21, 2000, the Bank entered into director split-dollar life
insurance agreements with each of its ten directors. Under the
split-dollar agreement, the policy's interests are divided between the
Bank and the director. The Bank owns the cash surrender value,
including the accumulated policy earnings, with each director's
beneficiaries receiving a fixed amount that is based on his or her
years of director
37
service and the Bank receiving the remainder of the death benefits. The
Bank fully paid the premiums for these ten policies with one lump sum
premium payment in the amount of $4,937,000. The increase in cash
surrender value is recorded as other non-interest income. The Bank
expects to recover in full the cash value from the Bank's portion of
the policies' death benefits. The directors' death benefits are
$500,000 for director service of less than 3 years, $600,000 for
service up to 5 years, $750,000 for service up to 10 years, and
$1,000,000 for director service of 10 years or more.
SALARY CONTINUATION AGREEMENT AND LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
The Bank entered into a Salary Continuation Agreement with Ronald D.
LaBeau, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank on December
27, 2000. This agreement provides that the Bank will pay an annual
salary continuation benefit of $139,600 to Mr. LaBeau or his designated
beneficiaries for 10 years after his retirement on or after reaching
the normal retirement age of 65.
At the same time it entered into the Salary Continuation Agreement with
Mr. LaBeau, the Bank purchased an insurance policy on Mr. LaBeau's
life, with a single premium payment of $5,880,000. The Bank expects to
recover in full the premium paid by it from the Bank's portion of the
policy's death benefits. If Mr. LaBeau dies before age 65 while in
active service to the Bank, his beneficiaries will receive life
insurance proceeds of $958,837. If he dies after retirement, his
beneficiaries will receive any payments to which Mr. LaBeau would have
been entitled under the Salary Continuation Agreement, but none of the
life insurance proceeds.
The contractual entitlements under the Salary Continuation Agreement
are not funded. These contractual entitlements remain contractual
liabilities of Monroe Bank & Trust, payable upon Mr. LaBeau's
termination of employment. The life insurance policy is in addition to
the split-dollar insurance policy purchased by the Bank on Mr.
LaBeau's life for his service as a director, discussed previously, and
the split-dollar insurance policy discussed in "Executive Group Term
Carve Out Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements" below.
EXECUTIVE GROUP TERM CARVE OUT SPLIT-DOLLAR LIFE INSURANCE AGREEMENTS
In addition to insurance policies on the lives of the directors and the
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank, the Bank owns life
insurance on the lives of several executives, for which the Bank made
premium payments of $3,684,421 in the aggregate. The Bank and the
executives share rights to death benefits payable under the policies.
An executive's beneficiaries are entitled to an amount equal to two
times the executive's current annual salary, less $50,000 if he or she
dies before retirement, or equal to his or her annual salary at the
time of termination of employment if he or she dies after retirement.
The Bank will receive the remainder of the death benefits. The Bank
expects to recover in full the premium paid by it from the Bank's
portion of the policy's death benefits or upon the cancellation or
purchase of the policies by the executives. The executives also have
life insurance benefits under the Bank's group term life insurance
program for all employees, which pays benefits up to $50,000 to the
executive's beneficiaries if he or she dies while employed by the Bank.
(16) 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
38
contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit
policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does
for its other lending activities.
Financial instruments whose contractual amounts represent off-balance
sheet credit risk at December 31 were as follows:
Contractual
Amount
(in thousands)
2001 2000
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commitments to extend credit:
Unused portion of commercial lines of credit $ 83,400 $110,558
Unused portion of credit card lines of credit 9,394 31,217
Unused portion of home equity lines of credit 14,967 12,887
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written 17,968 16,942
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as
long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
contract. Most commercial lines of credit are secured by real estate
mortgages or other collateral, generally have fixed expiration dates or
other termination clauses, and require payment of a fee. Since the
lines of credit may expire without customer to a third being drawn
upon, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future
cash requirements. Credit card lines of credit have no established
expiration dates, but are fundable on demand. Home equity lines of
credit are secured by real estate mortgages, have no established
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 party. Those guarantees are
primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements
and other business transactions. Approximately $11,604,000 of the
letters of credit expires in 2002 and $6,364,000 extends for two to
five years. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers.
(17) Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
As of December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Bank had ten loans
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis totaling $225,000,000.
All of these advances carry fixed rates of interest and contain a put
option that allows the FHLB to require repayment or conversion to a
variable rate advance each quarter. The average rate on the advances is
5.65%, and the final maturities are in 2009 and 2010. If converted by
the FHLB, the interest rates would float quarterly at rates ranging
from 3 month LIBOR to 3 month LIBOR plus .02%

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN. MBT and its shareholders have adopted the
Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan. A total of 1,000,000 shares have been
reserved for issuance under the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, subject
to adjustment if MBT's capitalization changes as a result of a stock split,
stock dividend, recapitalization, merger or similar event. The plan provides for
the award of stock options, stock or restricted stock to any MBT or Monroe Bank
& Trust directors, officers, other key employees and consultants designated by a
committee of MBT's Board consisting of outside directors, which administers the
plan. The committee's authority includes the power to (a) determine who will
receive awards under the plan, (b) establish the terms and conditions of awards
and the schedule on which options become exercisable (or other awards vest), (c)
determine the amount and form of awards, (d) interpret the plan and terms of
awards, and (e) adopt rules for administration of the plan. The only awards made
under the plan to date are awards of stock options.
Stock options awarded under the plan have terms of up to 10 years and may be
nonqualified stock options, meaning stock options that do not qualify under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code for the special tax treatment available
for qualified, or "incentive," stock options. Nonqualified stock options may be
granted to any eligible plan participant, but incentive stock options may be
granted solely to employees of MBT or Monroe Bank & Trust. All stock option
awards made to date are nonqualified stock options. The exercise price of
incentive stock options may not be less than the fair market value of MBT's
common stock on the date of grant, which under the terms of the plan means the
average of the bid and asked prices or the fair market value determined by MBT's
Board if bid and asked prices are not available. The plan does not require that
the exercise price of nonqualified stock options be at least equal to the fair
market value on the grant date, but the exercise price of awards made to date is
the fair market value on the date of grant.
An option holder whose service terminates generally has one year after
termination within which he may exercise options, forfeiting any options not
exercised by the end of one year from termination. An option holder whose
service is terminated for cause forfeits all unexercised stock options.

SALARY CONTINUATION AGREEMENT. MBT and Monroe Bank & Trust entered into a
Salary Continuation Agreement with Mr. LaBeau in December 2000, which provides
that MBT and Monroe Bank & Trust will pay an annual salary continuation benefit
of $139,600 to Mr. LaBeau or his designated beneficiaries for 10 years after his
retirement on or after reaching the normal retirement age of 65.
For Mr. LaBeau's early retirement (before reaching age 65) or termination before
his normal retirement age as a result of disability, the annual salary
continuation benefit increases to $139,600 in the ninth year of the Salary
Continuation Agreement (but is not actually payable until he reaches normal
retirement age), as follows:

BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE. MBT has split-dollar life insurance agreements with
its directors and executive officers. The economic benefit (the imputed income
amount of this insurance) for the year 2001 to MBT's Chief Executive Officer and
its other four highest paid executive officers is included in the amounts for
each of these executive officers set forth in the Summary Compensation Table
under the column "All Other Compensation." The economic benefit (the imputed
income amount of this insurance) for the year 2001 to each director other than
Mr. LaBeau is as follows: Ms. Cape, $367; Mr. Gruber, $1,513; Mr. Huner, $375;
Mr. Kiser, $438; Mr. Lipford, $2,255; Mr. McIntyre, $3,071; Mr. Miller, $449;
Mr. Sieb, $3,286; and Mr. Swy, $424. The insurance policies provide death
benefits to the executive's beneficiaries of (a) twice the executive's current
annual salary at the time of death, less $50,000, if he dies before retirement
or, (b) the executive's annual salary at the time his employment terminated if
he dies after retirement or if his employment has been terminated due to
disability. An additional policy provides Mr. LaBeau's beneficiaries life
insurance proceeds of $958,837 if he dies before age 65 while in active service

Black-Scholes stock option pricing model. Each non-employee director elected to
receive stock options in place of quarterly cash retainer payments during 2001,
with the exception of Mr. Swy, who elected to exchange eighty percent of his
quarterly cash retainer payments for stock options. Each non-employee director
elected to receive stock options in place of quarterly cash retainer payments in
2002. In January 2001, each non-employee director, with the exception of Mr.
Swy, was awarded an option to purchase 1,572 common shares at a fair market

2001 and has a term expiring January 2, 2011. Mr. Swy was awarded an option to
purchase 1,258 common shares on the same terms. In January 2002, each

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
OVERVIEW AND PHILOSOPHY. The Board of Directors of MBT Financial Corp. has
established a Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible
for developing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to MBT
Financial Corp.'s executive compensation policies. There are no interlocking
relationships between any members of the Compensation Committee.
Pursuant to authority delegated by the Board, the Compensation Committee
determines annually the compensation to be paid to the Chief Executive Officer
and each other executive officer. The Compensation Committee also structures and
monitors all contracts with executive officers which include the Salary
Continuation Agreement with Mr. LaBeau and the split-dollar life insurance
agreements. Compensation decisions with respect to executive officers are based
upon the factors discussed below, rather than any obligation set forth in such
contracts.
The Compensation Committee has available to it an outside compensation
consultant, and has worked with the consultant to gather comparative
compensation data from independent sources and to develop a strategy which links
pay to performance.
46
The objectives of MBT's executive compensation program are to:
- Support the achievement of desired goals of MBT.
- Provide compensation that will attract and retain superior
talent and reward performance.
- Align the executive officers' interests with those of
shareholders by placing a significant portion of pay at risk
with payout dependent upon corporate performance, both on a
short-term and long-term basis.
The executive compensation program provides an overall level of compensation
opportunity that is competitive within the banking industry. Actual compensation
levels may be greater or less than average competitive levels in surveyed
companies based upon annual and long-term MBT performance. The Compensation
Committee also uses its discretion to set executive compensation based upon
individual performance.
COMPENSATION MATTERS IN 2001. During 2001 the Compensation Committee increased
the levels of base salary of the Chief Executive Officer and certain other
Executive Officers. The increases in base salary were based upon an analysis of
compensation levels for management performing similar functions at other banking
companies of similar size and operations.
The performance of the Corporation for the purpose of determining the annual
cash bonuses to be paid to employees, including the Chief Executive Officer and
other Executive Officers was based on net operating income for the year 2001.
EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION PROGRAM. MBT's executive officer compensation
program is comprised of base salary, annual cash incentive compensation,
longer-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options and various
benefits.
BASE SALARY. Base salary levels for MBT's executive officers are set relative to
companies in the banking industry of similar size and complexity of operations,
as described above. In determining salaries, the Compensation Committee also
takes into account individual experience and performance, MBT performance and
specific issues particular to MBT.
ANNUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. The Monroe Bank & Trust Annual Incentive Plan is
MBT's annual incentive program for all employees, including Executive Officers.
The purpose of the plan is to provide direct financial incentives in the form of
an annual cash bonus to executives to achieve MBT's annual goals. For 2001, the
Compensation Committee recommended and the Board of Directors selected net
operating income as the measurement of the Corporation's performance, with
threshold and target goals set for determining cash bonus opportunities for all
employees, including Executive Officers. The amount distributed to each
participant in the Annual Incentive Plan is based on his or her base salary and
is weighted to reflect each participant's ability to affect the performance of
the Corporation, with the Chief Executive Officer having the largest weighting.
For net operating income in excess of the target goal set, each participant
receives a ratable increase in his or her cash bonus. MBT exceeded its target
goal for net operating income in 2001. The achievement of this corporate goal
represented the entire cash bonus for each Executive Officer for 2001.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVES. Stock options awarded under the Long-Term Incentive
Compensation Plan constitute MBT's long-term incentive plan for executive
officers. The objectives of the stock option awards are to align executive and
shareholder long-term interests by creating a strong and direct link between
executive pay and shareholder return, and to enable executives to develop and
maintain a long-term stock ownership position in MBT's common shares.
47
The Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan authorizes a committee of outside
directors to award stock options and other stock compensation to key executives.
Awards are made at levels considered to be competitive within the banking
industry. No stock options were awarded in 2001 to Executive Officers.
BENEFITS. MBT provides medical benefits to its executive officers that are
generally available to all fulltime MBT employees.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION. The base salary of Mr. LaBeau, MBT
Financial Corp.'s President, was increased to $218,400, effective January, 2001,
based upon the recommendation of an outside compensation consultant arising from
its survey of other banking companies, as described above.
In respect to the limits on deductibility for federal income tax purposes of
compensation paid an executive officer in excess of $1 million, MBT intends to
strive to structure components of its executive compensation to achieve maximum
deductibility, while at the same time considering the goals of its executive
compensation philosophy.
MEMBERSHIP OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. MBT Financial Corp. directors serving
on the Compensation Committee are named below:
Richard A. Sieb, Chairman
Gerald L. Kiser
Ronald D. LaBeau
William D. McIntyre, Jr.
Michael J. Miller
Philip P. Swy
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND
INSIDER PARTICIPATION IN COMPENSATION DECISIONS
Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission require the disclosure of
any related party transactions with members of the Compensation Committee.
During the past year, certain directors and officers, including members of the
Compensation Committee, and one or more of their associates may have been
customers of and had business transactions with Monroe Bank & Trust. All loans
included in such transactions were made in the ordinary course of business and
on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as
those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other
persons, and did not involve more than normal risk of collectability or present
other unfavorable features. It is expected that similar transactions will occur
in the future. Although Mr. LaBeau served on the Compensation Committee, he did
not participate in any discussions or decisions regarding his compensation.
