NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. 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, 2001.
NOTE 2 COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE
The net income per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares
outstanding, as adjusted for the 10% stock dividend paid February 28, 2002, were
4,285,644 and 4,266,490 for the nine month periods ending September 30, 2002 and
2001, respectively.
NOTE 3 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets." Statement No. 142 addresses the reporting and other
intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. This Statement requires that
goodwill be separately disclosed from other intangible assets on the balance
sheet and that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no
longer be amortized, but, instead, tested for impairment at least annually. The
adoption of Statement No. 142 resulted in the reduction of goodwill amortization
of $0.08 per share and $0.03 per share for the nine month and three month
periods ending September 30, 2002.
As required by the Statement, intangible assets that do not meet the criteria
for recognition apart from goodwill must be reclassified. As a result of the
Corporation's analysis, no reclassifications were required as of September 30,
2002. Included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets
are the following amounts:

In October of 2002, the FASB issued statements of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions". Implementation of
SFAS No. 147 is not expected to impact the Corporation.

accounted for according to the Provision of FASB Statement No. 141. The purchase
price of Benchmark was $1.125 million, which was funded through the issuance of
$800,000 of IBT Bancorp stock, $25,000 cash, and a note payable in the amount of
$300,000. The purchase proforma results of operation have not been disclosed
herein because such results are immaterial.

TABLE 2
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.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income equals interest income less interest expense and is the
primary source of income for IBT Bancorp. Interest income includes loan fees of
$1.18 million in the first nine months of 2002 versus $1.04 million for the same
period in 2001. For analytical purposes, net interest income is adjusted to a
"taxable equivalent" basis by adding the income tax savings from interest on
tax-exempt loans and securities, thus making year-to-year comparisons more
meaningful.
As shown in Tables number 1 and 2, when comparing the nine month period ending
September 30, 2002 to the same period in 2001, fully taxable equivalent (FTE)
net interest income increased $1.24 million or 7.5%. An increase of 8.6% in
average interest earning assets provided $1.38 million of FTE interest income.
The majority of this increase was funded by a 10.6% increase in interest bearing
deposits and borrowed funds, resulting in $1.22 million of additional interest
expense. Overall, changes in volume resulted in $155,000 of additional FTE
interest income. The average FTE interest rate earned on assets decreased by
1.11 %, decreasing FTE interest income by $3.36 million and the average rate
paid on deposits and other borrowings decreased by 1.30%, decreasing interest
expense by $4.45 million. The change in interest rates earned and paid increased
FTE net interest income by $1.09 million.
The Corporation's FTE net interest yield as a percentage of average earning
assets equaled 4.23% during 2002 versus 4.27% in 2001. The 0.04% decrease in the
FTE net interest yield was primarily a result of a change in asset mix. The
following table shows as a percentage of earning assets the percentage invested
in each earning asset for September 30, 2002 versus the same period in 2001.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The viability of any financial institution is ultimately determined by its
management of credit risk. Net loans outstanding represent 63% 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 loans, overall economic conditions, and other factors.
Comparing the year to date period of September 30, 2002 to September 30, 2001,
the provision for loan losses was increased by $43,000 to $538,000. The
provision and allowance for loan losses was increased due to an increase in
loans classified as substandard. As a percentage of loans, substandard loans to
outstanding loans was 1.47% in 2002 versus 0.99% in 2001. During 2002 the
Corporation had net charged off loans of $292,000 compared to $280,000 in 2001.
As of September 30, 2002 the allowance for loan losses was $5.72 million or
1.41% of total loans. Management's internal analysis of the estimated range for
the allowance was $3.0 million to $7.2 million as of September 30, 2002. Based
on this analysis, management believes the allowance for loan loss is adequate.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income consists of trust fees, deposit service charges, fees for
other financial services, gains on sale of mortgage loans sold, title insurance
revenue, and gains and losses on investment securities available for sale. There
was a $1.15 million increase in fees earned from these sources during the nine
months of 2002 when compared to the same period in 2001. Significant individual
account changes during this period include a $363,000 increase in title
insurance and related revenue, $50,000 in NSF and overdraft fees, and a $417,000
increase in gains on the sale of mortgage loans originated for sale. The
Corporation has established a policy that all 15 and 30 year amortized fixed
rate mortgage loans will be sold. These loans 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 allocated to the value of
the servicing rights of these loans. Included in other noninterest income is a
$887,000 gain from the sale of $107.7 million in mortgages through the third
quarter of 2002 versus a $470,000 gain on the sale of $60.3 million for the same
period in 2001. The Corporation has invested $9.7 million in bank owned life
insurance. The average net rate earned on the investment is approximately 5.0%
and, because of their tax free accumulation of earnings, they have a taxable
equivalent rate of 7.6%. The rates on these contracts are adjustable annually on
their anniversary date. The investments are with five separate insurance
companies with S&P ratings of AA or better. The investment is classified in
other assets on the consolidated balance sheet and income is recorded in
noninterest income. The income earned from this source increased $259,000 for
the nine month period of 2002 when compared to the same period of 2001.
14
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense increased $1.37 million or 10.5% during the first nine
months of 2002 when compared to the same period in 2001. The largest component
of noninterest expense is salaries and employee benefits, which increased $1.05
million or 14.9%. Normal merit and promotional salary adjustments account for
half of the increase with the remainder of the increase resulting from increased
staffing due to the purchase of Benchmark Abstract and Title in Greenville,
Michigan by IBT Title, an increase in support staff to handle the increase in
mortgage volume, and a 45% increase in medical expenses and pension expenses.
Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses increased $359,000 or 15.1% in
2002. The majority of this increase is related to a $31,000 increase in property
taxes, $28,000 increase in building repairs, $170,000 increase in service
contracts, and approximately $150,000 increase in depreciation due to the
write-off of disposed and/or obsolete fixed assets.
Amortization of acquisition intangible and goodwill declined $343,000 during the
first 9 months of 2002. The decline is related to the adoption of FASB Statement
No. 142, see footnote 3 on page 8 of this report for further information.
Other operating expenses increased $303,000 or 9.3%. The increase is related to
an $84,000 increase in marketing and advertising, a $108,000 increase in
donations, a $71,000 increase in the cost of title insurance, and a $67,000
increase in auditing fees as a result of out sourcing a portion of the
Corporation's internal audit work.
QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income equaled $2.06 million for the third quarter of 2002 compared to $1.68
million for the same period in 2001, a 22.8% increase. Return on average assets
equaled 1.31% for the third quarter of 2002 compared to 1.16% for the same
period in 2001. Return on average equity equaled 13.73% for the third quarter of
2002 versus 12.06% for the third quarter of 2001.

NET INTEREST INCOME
When comparing net interest income for the third quarter of 2002 to the same
period in 2001, a 7.7% increase in average interest-earning assets provided
$592,000 of additional FTE interest income. The average rate of interest-earning
assets decreased 0.87%, resulting in a $1.02 million decrease in FTE interest
income. The changes in average balances and the rates earned resulted in a
decrease of $432,000 of FTE interest income. The growth of earning assets was
funded primarily by growth in interest bearing liabilities, which increased by
8.9% in 2002. The average cost of these funds decreased by 1.24%. The changes in
the average balances and rate paid on interest-bearing deposits resulted in a
decline of $1.12 million of interest expense. Overall, the changes in interest
rate earned and paid and average balances resulted in additional net interest
income of $690,000 in the third quarter of 2002 when compared to the same period
in 2001. The Corporation's FTE net interest yield increased by 0.17% to 4.39% in
the third quarter of 2002. The primary reason for the increase was a larger
decrease in rates paid on deposits than the decline in rates on earning assets.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
Since December 31, 2001, total average loans outstanding have increased $8.9
million or 2.2% compared to $1.7 million or 0.4% for the same period in 2001.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total outstanding loans was
1.41% as of September 30, 2002 and 1.33% in 2001. During the third quarter of
2002, the Corporation had net charge-offs of $111,000. The amount provided for
loan losses during the third quarter of 2002 was $188,000 and $167,000 during
the same period of 2001.

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 income earned in the third quarter of 2002 compared to the same
period in 2001, increased $655,000 or 420%. The most significant changes were a
$262,000 increase from the gain on sale of mortgages, an increase of $303,000 in
title and abstract revenue, an increase of $50,000 in income earned on the cash
value of life insurance, and an increase of $42,000 in NSF and overdraft fees.
18
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense increased $781,000 or 17.6% during the third quarter of 2002
when compared to 2001. Noninterest expense includes salary and benefits,
occupancy, and other operating expenses. Comparing 2002 to 2001, salaries and
employee benefits increased $416,000, occupancy expense and furniture and
equipment expense increased $201,000, amortization and acquisition intangible
and good will expenses declined $116,000, and other operating expenses increased
$280,000.
ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Since December 31, 2001, total assets increased $44.9 million to $637.0 million.
During this period the net loan portfolio increased $8.6 million, fed funds sold
decreased $26.2 million, investment securities increased $47.8 million, and
other assets increased $1.9 million. Changes in funding sources include a $1.9
million increase in noninterest bearing deposits, an increase in interest
bearing deposits of $29.4 million, an increase in borrowings of $5.0 million,
and a $7.3 million increase in shareholders' equity.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity management is designed to have adequate resources available to meet
depositor and borrower discretionary demands for funds. Liquidity is also
required to fund expanding operations, investment opportunities, and the payment
of cash dividends. The primary sources of the Corporation's liquidity are cash,
cash equivalents, and investment securities available for sale.
As of September 30, 2002, cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of total
assets equaled 6.6%, versus 9.4% as of December 31, 2001. During the first nine
months of 2002, $803,000 in net cash was provided from operations, and $36.0
million was provided by financing activities. Investing activities used $50.2
million. The accumulated effect of the Corporation's operating, investing, and
financing activities was a $13.4 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents
during the first nine months of 2002.
In addition to cash and cash equivalents, investment securities available for
sale are another source of liquidity. Securities available for sale equaled
$151.7 million as of September 30, 2002 and $102.5 million as of December 31,
2002. The Corporation's liquidity is considered adequate by the management of
the Corporation.
19
CAPITAL
The capital of the Corporation consists solely of common stock, surplus,
retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive income; and increased
approximately $7.3 million since December 31, 2001.
There are significant capital regulatory constraints placed on the Corporation's
capital. The Federal Reserve Board's current recommended minimum tier 1 and tier
2 capital to average assets requirement is 6.0%. The Corporation's tier 1 and
tier 2 capital to average assets, which consists of shareholders' equity plus
the allowance for loan losses, less unamortized acquisition intangible, was
10.4% at September 30, 2002.
The Federal Reserve Board has established a minimum risk based capital standard.
Under this standard, a framework has been established that assigns risk weights
to each category of on- and off-balance sheet items to arrive at risk adjusted
total assets. Regulatory capital is divided by the risk adjusted assets with the
resulting ratio compared to the minimum standard to determine whether a bank has
adequate capital. The minimum standard is 8%, of which at least 4% must consist
of equity capital net of goodwill. The following table sets forth the
percentages required under the Risk Based Capital guidelines and the
Corporation's ratios as of September 30, 2002:

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Corporation intends such
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of
1995, and is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor
provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions
and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Corporation, are
generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend,"
"anticipate," "estimate," "project," or similar expressions. The Corporation's
ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is
inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the
operations and future prospects of the Corporation and the subsidiaries include,
but are not limited to, changes in: interest rates, general economic conditions,
legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S.
Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve
Board, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand
for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in
the Corporation's market area, and accounting principles, policies and
guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating
forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such
statements. Further information concerning the Corporation and its business,
including additional factors that could materially affect the Corporation's
financial results, is included in the Corporation's filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Corporation's primary market risks are interest rate risk and, to a lesser
extent, liquidity risk. The Corporation has no foreign exchange risk, holds
limited loans outstanding to oil and gas concerns, and holds no trading account
assets. 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.
21
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 September 30,
2002. 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.
